Abstract

For the effective management of forest fire, understanding of regional forest fire patterns is needed. In this paper, forest fire ignition and spread characteristics were analyzed based on forest fire statistics. Fire occurrences, burned area, rate of spread, and burned area per fire between 1991 and 2007 were parameterized for the cluster analysis, which results were displayed using GIS to detect spatial patterns of forest fire. Administrative districts such as cities and counties were classified into 5 clusters by fire susceptibility. Metropolitan areas had fire characteristics that were infrequent, slow rate of spread, and small burned area. However, 4 cities and counties showing fast rate of spread, and large burned area, in the eastern regions of Taeback Mountain range, were the most susceptible areas to forest fire. The next vulnerable cities and counties were located in the West and South Coast area.

산불을 효율적으로 관리하기 위해서는 지역별 산불 행동 특성에 대한 이해가 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 전국 시 군 구 단위고 산불통계 자료를 이용하여 발생 및 확산 특성을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 1991년 부터 2007년까지 17년간 발생건수, 연소면적, 확산속도, 건당 면적 자료를 이용하여 산불 특성에 따라 군집을 분류하고 GIS를 이용하여 공간적 분포 특성을 분석하였다 분석결과, 산불의 공간적 특성 변이가 뚜렷하게 관찰되었고, 전국 시 군 구는 산불위험성에 따라 5개의 군집으로 분류할 수 있었다. 대도시와 인근 지역은 산불위험이 낮은 군집으로 분류되었으나, 강원도 영동지방 4개 시 군은 가장 위험한 군집으로 분류되었다. 그 뒤를 이어 남, 서해안에 인접한 시 군 구의 산불위험성이 높았다.
