Abstract

This study analyzes the geographic information system (GIS) and machine learning models to understand the relationship between the appearance of hibernation sites and habitats in order to systematically manage the habitat of Asiatic Black Bear(Ursus thibetanus ussuricus) inhabiting Jirisan National Park, South Korea. The most important environmental factors influencing the hibernation sites was found to be the inclination(41.4%), followed by altitude(20.4%), distance from the trail(10.9%), and age group(7.7%) in the order of their contribution. A comparison between the hibernation habitat and the normal habitat of Asiatic Black Bear indicated that the average altitude of the hibernation sites was 63m, whereas the average altitude of the normal habitat was approximately 400m. The average inclination was found to be $7^{\circ}$, and a preference for the steeper inclination of $12-43^{\circ}$ was also observed. The average distance of the hibernation site from the road was approximately 300m; the range of separation distance was found to be 1,300-2,400m. This was thought to be the result of a safer selection of winter hibernation site by preventing human contact and outside invasion. This study analyzes the habitat environmental factors for the selection of hibernation sites that prevent severe cold and other threats during the hibernation period in order to provide fundamental data for hibernation ecology and habitat management of Asiatic Black Bear.

본 연구는 지리산국립공원에 서식하는 반달가슴곰의 겨울철 서식지 환경을 체계적으로 관리하기 위해 GIS 및 기계학습 모형으로 서식환경을 분석하여 지리산국립공원의 겨울철 동면기 서식지인 동면 장소 출현과 비동면기 동안의 서식지 환경과의 관계를 파악하였다. 그 결과 환경요인 중 동면 장소 선택에 가장 큰 영향을 준 요인은 경사로 41.4%, 그 다음으로 고도가 20.4%, 탐방로로부터 거리 10.9%, 영급 7.7% 순으로 나타났다. 한편, 반달가슴곰 서식지와 동면지역 서식지 평가결과를 비교해 본 결과, 평균 고도는 동면지역이 63m가 높았으며 최적 고도는 400m 이상 높게 나타났다. 평균 경사는 $7^{\circ}$가 높고 최적 경사는 $12{\sim}43^{\circ}$ 더 급한 지역을 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 도로와의 거리는 동면지역이 평균 300m 이상 더 떨어져 있었으며, 최적 이격 거리의 범위는 1,300~2,400m 더 떨어져 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 겨울철 동면의 메커니즘을 위한 동면 지역선택 시 조금 더 외부의 침입으로부터 안전하고, 인간과의 접촉에서 멀어지려는 습성에 의한 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구는 반달가슴곰이 동면기간 동안 혹독한 추위와 많은 위협요인을 피할 수 있는 동면 장소를 선택하는 서식환경요소를 분석함으로써, 반달가슴곰의 동면 생태 기작과 서식지 관리를 위한 기초적 자료를 제공하고자 한다.
