초록

최근 숲길 이용자들이 폭발적으로 증가하고 있으며, 이에 따라 각종 안전장치를 위한 비용 또한 급격히 증가하고 있다. 그럼에도 다른 사고와 달리 심장관련 사고는 줄지 않고 있어 숲길에 제공되는 난이도 정보의 개선방안에 대한 연구를 지리산 둘레길을 대상으로 진행하였다. 기존 숲길에 대한 난이도 정보는 숲을 관리하는 특정인에 의한 경험적 난이도 또는 단순히 거리를 바탕으로 한 난이도를 3~5단계로 구분하여 제공하고 있어 탐방객이 실제 느끼는 난이도와는 괴리감이 있었다. 본 연구에서는 실질적인 에너지소모량을 바탕으로 한 난이도 제공 가능성을 분석하였다. 거리와 경사에 따른 산소소모량의 계산은 숲길 각 구간에 대한 절대적 비교뿐만 아니라 상대적 비교가 가능하였으며 특정 구간의 운동강도를 간단히 표현하는데 효과적이었다. 아울러 시 종점의 변화에 따른 운동량 변화를 쉽게 확인할 수 있었다. 구간별, 산행방향별 운동량에 대한 표준화된 사전 정보제공은 심장관련 사고의 사전예방 효과가 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Recently, the number of trail users in Korea has risen tremendously. Consequently, the cost of safety measures related to hiking is sharply increasing. Despite the safety cost input, the number of heart-related adverse events has been not decreasing. Therefore, this research aims to suggest the use of objective and quantitative trail use information in terms of course difficulty. The study site is Jirisan Dullegil (Jirisan Forest Trail). The currently available trail difficulty information either provides the difficulty rating in terms of 3 to 5 levels according to several empirical difficulty factors reported by staff who maintain the forest or simply states the distance of each trail. Thus, many trail visitors feel a great gap between the given information and actual difficulties they experience. In this study, we tried to assess the degree of difficulty by actual energy consumption. Calculating the volumetric oxygen consumption (VOC) by the distance and gradient not only makes possible an absolute rating but a comparison among the trails as well. Also, it is highly effective to simply describe the exercise intensity of a certain trail. Further, it is easy to check the VOCs' changes by switching the start-end points of the same trail. Providing the trail information of VOCs by sections and directions, we expect to prevent heart-related accidents.
