초록

본 연구는 국립공원 생태계 건강성 평가 방법을 개발하기 위해 실시하였다. 국립공원 자원 모니터링 사업은 국립공원 생태계의 구성, 구조 및 기능의 현재 상태를 파악하고, 장기적인 경향성에 대해 과학적 정보를 개발하기 위함이다. 또한 지속 가능한 생태계를 유지하기 위해 과학적 관리방법을 결정하는 자료를 제공한다. 평가 결과는 공원 보전과 공원정책에 반영하고 국민과의 공감 기회를 확대할 수 있다. 건강성 평가 프로그램 절차는 목표 설정 및 개념 정립, 개념적 모델 개발, 프레임 설정, 평가 지표 선정, 평가등급 및 지수화, 건강성 평가 순으로 진행하였다. 건강성 평가 지표는 공통 지표, 선택 지표, 기후 지표 등 총 13개의 지표를 추출하였으며, 평가 결과의 시각화를 위해 픽토그램을 개발하였다. 건강상태를 5개 색깔로 구분하였으며, 과거의 상태와 비교하기 위해 3개의 도형으로 구분하였다. 건강성 평가를 실시한 결과 설악산, 오대산국립공원이 높게 평가되었으며, 북한산, 계룡산국립공원이 낮게 평가되었다.

This study was conducted to develop a technique of ecosystem health assessment on Korea National Parks. The purpose of natural resource monitoring in national parks is to develop scientific information on the current status and long term trends in the composition, structure, and function of park ecosystems, and to determine how well current management practices are sustaining those ecosystems. The evaluation results will reflect in the park conservation and polices and promote the effect and functions of assessment program to the people. Health assessment steps were performed in order the establishing monitoring goals and objectives, development of the conceptual model, frame establishment, determination of indicators, standard and classification and health assessment. Health Indicators were selected the 13 with common, choice and climate indicators. We developed a pictogram and was separated into five colors to health condition, it was divided into three shape for comparison with the past state. Seoraksan, Odaesan National Park has been rated highly but Bukhansan, Kyeryongsan National Park has been underestimated.
