Abstract

In this study, the landscape characteristics of the sacred Dangsan forests at Singi-ri, Namwon-si were investigated as an agricultural heritage, and the management scheme for revitalization of the village was introduced. FAO established the term of 'GIAHS' (Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems) for conservation of each country's farmland, unique agricultural landscape, and cultural diversity. The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs of Korea evaluates that the Agricultural Heritage is a new means and potential for rural development. Dangsan forest, a traditional village forests of rural Korea is a representative 'agricultural heritage' with a history of more than several hundred years of Dangsan ritual. The Dangsan forests were closely linked with paddy fields. This forest was composed of two Dangsan forests, and one Bibo forest. Especially, the Dangsan forest 2 was established on the mounding with 395m in length and 15m in width. Although, most of Dangsan forests do not have accurate records about forest establishment, this forest has retained a stone monument that illustrated the history of the forest. These aspects of Singi-ri's Dangsan forest indicated clear difference and characteristics compared to other ones. This Dangsan forest has been left alone from the public attention. The Dangsan forest at Singi-ri need to be recognized for their valuable landscape characteristics. By linking the Dangsan forest with 'Jirisan trail', the trail path will lead people to the agricultural heritage at Singi-ri. Enhancing the management scheme will contribute to revitalize the village.

이 연구는 농업유산으로서 남원시 신기리 당산숲의 경관 특성을 조사한 것으로서, 관리 개선방안 고찰을 통해 농촌마을 신기리의 활력을 제고하고자 하였다. 국제연합식량농업기구는 각 나라의 농지, 독특한 농업경관, 문화다양성 보호 등을 위해 '세계중요농업유산' 개념을 정립하였다. 농림축산식품부는 농촌발전을 위한 새로운 목표와 수단을 만들어 나가는 데 있어서, 농업유산이 핵심전략 자원이라고 평가하고 있다. 수 백년 이상의 당산제 역사를 갖고 있으며 농지와 연결되어 있는 농어촌 전통마을숲, 당산숲은 한국을 대표하는 '농업유산'이라고 할 수 있다. 신기리 당산숲은 두 개의 당산숲과 하나의 비보숲으로 이루어져 있다. 특히 395m 길이에 15m 폭을 가진 두 번째 당산숲은 조산 위에 조성되어 있다. 대부분의 당산숲은 조성 내력에 대한 기록이 없으나, 신기리 당산숲은 두 번째 당산숲 안에 조성 내력이 기록된 '토성축성기념비'가 보존되어 있는 것이 가장 큰 특징이라고 할 수 있다. 그러나 신기리 당산숲은 이러한 특징에도 불구하고 관심을 받지 못한 채 방치되어 있다. 가치 있는 경관 특성을 지닌 신기리 당산숲은 일반 대중에게 널리 인식될 필요가 있다. 신기리 당산숲이 '지리산 둘레길'과 연계되면 신기리의 농업경관, 농업유산을 접할 수 있는 기회를 제공할 수 있고, 마을 활력 증진에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.
