Abstract

The purpose of this study is to propose the angle-limit of the escape ramp by analyzing the frog behavior characteristics according to the inclination angle of the waterway escape ramp installed in the concrete U-bench plume pipe channel. Forthe experiment, an escape test device was manufactured with the same shape and number of materials applied in the field. And Rana coreana living in paddy wetlands were sel selected. The main behaviors of frogs on the slope were 'jumping', 'crawling' and 'slipping', and afterrecording the behavioralresults according to the inclination angle, statistical analysis was conducted using the chi-square test method. As a result of the analysis, there was no statistically significant difference between 30° and 40°. This result is an evidence for expanding the standard of inclination angle 30° suggested in the 'Guidelines for Installation and Management of Ecological Pathways' to a maximum of 40°. However, further research is required in that the escape ramp targets not only Korean frogs but also various small wild animals. However, considering that various wild animals are affected by artificial canals, additional studies using various target wild animals are needed.

본 연구의 목적은 콘크리트 U형 벤치 플륨관 수로에 설치되는 수로 탈출 경사로의 경사각에 따른 개구리 행동 특성을 분석하여 탈출 경사로 기준 각도를 제언하는 것이다. 실험 장치는 현장에서 적용되는 콘크리트 수로 탈출장치와 형태 및 재질을 유사하게 제작하였다. 경사로 실험을 위해 논 습지에 서식하는 한국산개구리를 선정하였다. 경사로에서 보여지는 개구리의 주요 행동은 '뛰기', '걷기', '미끄러짐'이었으며, 경사각에 따른 행동 결과를 기록한 후 통계 분석하였다. 경사각은 20°-60° 범위에서 10° 간격으로 5개의 경사각을 설정하여 비교·분석하였다. 연관성 검증은 카이제곱 검증 방법을 사용하였다. 분석결과 30°와 40°는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 이는 '생태통로 설치 및 관리지침'의 30° 이하의 설치 기준에 있어, 현장에서 이를 40°까지 일부 허용해 줄 수 있는 근거로 활용될 수 있는 결과이다. 하지만 수로 탈출 경사로가 한국산개구리뿐 아니라 다양한 소형 야생동물을 대상으로 하고 있다는 점에서 추가 연구가 필요할 것이다.
