Abstract

In this study, we performed a Random Walker analysis to predict the Major Movement Paths of otters. The scope of the research was a simulation analysis with a radius of 7.5 km set as the final range centered on the Ansim-wetland in Daegu City, and a field survey was used to verify the model. The number of virtual otters was set to 1,000, the number of moving steps was set to 1,000 steps per grid, and simulations were performed on a total of 841 grids. As a result of the analysis, an average of 147.6 objects arrived at the boundary point under the condition of an interval of 50 m. As a result of the simulation verification, 8 points (13.1%) were found in the area where the movement probability was very high, and 9 points (14.8%) were found in the area where the movement probability was high. On the other hand, in areas with low movement paths probabilities, there were 8 points (13.1%) in low areas and 4 points (6.6%) in very low areas. Simulation verification results In areas with high otter values, the actual otter format probability was particularly high. In addition, as a result of investigating the correlation with the otter appearance point according to the unit area of the evaluation star of the movement probability, it seems that 6.8 traces were found per unit area in the area where the movement probability is the highest. In areas where the probability of movement is low, analysis was performed at 0.1 points. On the side where otters use the major movement paths of the river area, the normal level was exceeded, and as a result, in the area, 23 (63.9%), many form traces were found, along the major movement paths of the simulation. It turned out that the actual otter inhabits. The EN-Simulator analysis can predict how spatial properties affect the likelihood of major movement paths selection, and the analytical values are used to utilize additional habitats within the major movement paths. It is judged that it can be used as basic data such as to grasp the danger area of road kill in advance and prevent it.

본 연구는 수달의 주요이동 패턴을 예측하기 위하여 EN-Simulator프로그램을 활용하여 주요 이동경로 분석을 실시하였다. 연구범위는 대구시 안심습지를 중심으로 반경 7.5 km를 최종 범위로 설정하여 시뮬레이션 분석을 하였으며, 모형 검증을 위해 현지조사를 활용하였다. 가상의 수달 개체수는 1,000마리, 이동 스텝 수는 격자 당 1,000 스텝으로 설정하였으며, 총 841개 격자에 대하여 시뮬레이션을 실행하였다. 분석결과, 평균 147.6±112.1 개체가 간격 50m 조건에서 분석범위 경계 지점에 도착하였다. 시뮬레이션 검증결과, 수달의 주요 이동 확률이 높은 지역 가운데 시뮬레이션의 '매우 높음 지역'에서 8개 수달흔적 지점(13.1%), '높음 지역'에서 9개 지점(14.8%)으로 나타났다. 반면 이동확률이 낮은 지역에서는 '낮음 지역' 8개 지점(13.1%)과 '매우 낮음 지역' 4개 지점(6.6%)으로 나타났다. 시뮬레이션의 검증결과 높음 결과값을 가지는 지역에서 특히 실제 수달의 서식 흔적이 많이 나타났다. 또한 이동확률의 등급 별 단위 면적(1×1㎢ 당)에 따른 수달 출현지점과의 상관관계를 알아본 결과, 가장 높은 확률로 이동하는 지역에서 단위 면적당 6.8개 흔적이 발견된 반면, 이동 확률이 낮은 지역은 0.1개 지점으로 분석되었다. 수달이 하천 지역의 주요경로를 이용하는 측면에서 보통 수준 이상 결과 지역에서는 23개(63.9%)로 많은 서식흔적이 발견되어 시뮬레이션의 주요 이동경로가 실제 수달 개체의 이동로로 활용되고 있는 것으로 나타났다. EN-Simulator 분석은 수달의 이동경로 선택에 있어서 공간특성이 이동가능성에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 예측 가능하고 분석값을 활용하여 주요 이동경로 내 추가 서식지 조성 및 로드킬 위험 지역을 사전에 파악하여 예방 가능하도록 하는 등의 기초자료로 활용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
