Abstract
In this study, a smartphone application for reporting trees infected with pine wilt disease was developed to prevent the spread of the disease by the disease-carrying pests/insects, which is most damning to the country's pine trees, South Korea's representative tree species, and to ensure the sustained maintenance of the country's forest trees. Such application for handling information on the infected pine trees has three key components, as shown below. (1) Explanation of the pine wilt disease pests/insects, (2) Image capture of the infected pine tree, and transmission of its GPS location, (3) Inquiry on the neighboring area infected with pine wilt disease. It is possible to promptly provide the spatial information of the areas infected with pine wilt disease by developing a dedicated application for reporting trees infected with the disease based on GPS information. If users participate actively in the application and integration with the forest service application is to be realized, the application would be more actively utilized.
본 연구에서는 우리나라의 대표수종 소나무의 치명적인 해충인 소나무재선충 피해목의 확산을 조기에 차단하고 산림수목에 대한 지속적인 관리를 위하여 소나무재선충 피해수목 신고 어플리케이션을 개발하였다. 어플리케이션은 다음과 같이 3개 핵심항목을 중심으로 개발되었다. 첫째, 소나무재선충에 대한 정보제공, 둘째, 피해목의 자가진단, 셋째, 수목안전지도 등으로 구성하였다. 향후 본 어플리케이션의 활성화를 위해서 실제로 어플리케이션을 사용하는 이용자들의 적극적인 참여와 산림청 어플리케이션과의 통합개발이 이뤄진다면 보다 많은 활용이 가능할 것이다.
