Abstract

This study was carried out to establish a management plan for urban forest trails with analysis of trail damage types and soil physicochemical properties on 3 urban forest parks in Jinju, Gyeongnam-do. We found that soil hardness was significantly higher in forest trails than forest area at 0 cm and 5 cm at a significance level of 0.05. However, we could not find any significant differences for other soil properties. For the trail damage types, the most common types were as follows: trail expansion (66%), trail erosion (59%), side road (57%), and trail boundary erosion and root exposure (41%). The results showed no difference in most of these types between the trails and forest area, indicating that the forest area might be damaged as well as the trails. Priority should be given to prepare measures that prevent soil compaction from overcrowded hikers.

본 연구는 경상남도 진주시에 위치한 도시숲을 대상으로 토양 물리화학성 및 등산로 훼손유형을 평가하여 등산로 노면의 피해양상과 훼손실태를 파악함으로써 도시생활권 등산로의 관리를 위하여 수행하였다. 등산로와 산림지역의 토양 물리화학성 분석 결과, 등산로 토양깊이 0 cm, 5 cm의 토양경도가 산림지역에 비해 유의적으로 높게 나타났으며, 기타 토양물리화학성에서는 모두 유의적 차이가 없었다. 아울러 훼손유형 중 노폭확대형이 66%로 가장 많이 나타났고, 노면침식형 59%, 샛길형 57%, 경계침식형과 수목뿌리노출형이 각각 41%로 나타났으며, 노면배수불량형과 급경사형, 산사태 훼손유형은 나타나지 않았다. 특히, 대부분 인자에서 차이가 없는 것은 등산로뿐만 아니라 산림지역도 훼손되었을 가능성이 있으며, 진주시 도시숲 등산로는 이용객의 과밀현상 등에 의해 토양경도 훼손이 악화되는 것을 방지하는 대책이 우선적으로 마련되어야 할 것이다.
