Abstract

Ridge traversing trail in Mount Jiri National Park is classified as flat, gully-like, unilateral, and asymmetric bilateral, paths based on a location and gradient of paths. These types are interchangeable due to a drainage condition of trail surfaces. Using a rapid survey, the trail is 135.9 cm wide, 23.6 cm deep and $5.1^{\circ}$ in a gradient, respectively. All treads have been compacted due to human trampling. The path width is affected by a slope aspect and a distribution of Sasa borealis. An asymmetric path is wider than a symmetric path. A soil erosion rate is equivalent to $68.9cm^2/year$ for the period from 1960 to 2009, suggesting that the trail has been widened 2.7 cm/year and the tread lowered 0.4 cm/year. Trampling and needle ice action combined with rainwash induced by a pipeflow are dominant erosion processes contributing to the trail expansion.

지리산 국립공원 종주 등산로는 노면이 만들어진 위치와 구배에 의해 평탄면형, 우곡형, 외벽형 및 비대칭 양벽형으로 구분되며, 노면의 배수 상태에 따라 유형 간 변화가 일어난다. 신속 측량법에 의한 종주 등산로의 형태 요소는 노폭 135.9cm, 깊이 23.6cm, 구배 $5.1^{\circ}$이며, 모든 노면은 압밀되어 있다. 노폭은 사면의 향과 조릿대 서식 밀도의 영향을 받으며, 대칭형 등산로보다 비대칭형 등산로의 노폭이 크다. 등산로 출현 시점을 1960년으로 간주하면, 등산로 횡단면에서의 연평균 침식 속도는 $68.9cm^2$로 노폭은 매년 2.7cm씩 넓어지고, 노면은 0.4cm씩 낮아진 것이 된다. 답압 이외에 서릿발 작용과 파이프류의 우세가 결합된 침식 프로세스가 등산로 확대를 주도하는 것으로 보인다.
