Understanding regional characteristics in forest fire occurrence is important to establish effective forest fire prevention policy in Korea. This study analyzed the characteristics of forest fires occurred in 16 administrative districts for recent 25 years (1990~2014) to examine regional characteristics in forest fire occurrence. Forest fire occurrence reflects regional characteristics depending on climatic factors as well as region's society-cultural factors. Results showed that the first cause of forest fire occurrence was carelessness by human activities throughout all administrative districts, however, the second cause depends on regional characteristics. As the results of forest fire occurrence period analyzed for 10 days, the most forest fires occurred in the southern region during January to March, while forest fires in the northern region occurred mostly during March to April. We classified forest fire occurrence patterns into three types (centralized: Gyeonggi-do, dispersal: Busan, horizontally distributed: Gyeongsangnam-do) by multi-temporal analysis for forest fire occurrence period.

This study was conducted to develop a forest fire occurrence model using meteorological characteristics for the practical purpose of forecasting forest fire danger. Forest fire in South Korea is highly influenced by humidity, wind speed, and temperature. To effectively forecast forest fire occurrence, we need to develop a forest fire danger rating model using weather factors associated with forest fire. Forest fore occurrence patterns were investigated statistically to develop a forest fire danger rating index using time series weather data sets collected from 8 meteorological observation centers. The data sets were for 5 years from 1997 through 2001. Development of the forest fire occurrence probability model used a logistic regression function with forest fire occurrence data and meteorological variables. An eight-province probability model by was developed. The meteorological variables that emerged as affective to forest fire occurrence are effective humidity, wind speed, and temperature. A forest fire occurrence danger rating index of through 10 was developed as a function of daily weather index (DWI).

Comparative analysis of forest fire danger rating on the forest characteristics of thinning area and non-thinning area on forest fire burnt area was studied in this work. To investigate the effect of thinning slash in forest fire, Gangneung-si Wangsan-myeon, Ulgin-gun Wonnam-Myeon, Samchok-si Gagok-Myeon, in which forest fire broke out, were selected. As a result that investigated forest fire danger ratio between thinning slash and non-thinning slash, leeward scorching ratio(36%), crown damage ratio(29%), mortality of branch at the former are higher than those at the latter, leeward scorching ratio of tree, where thinning slash is around, is 10%-20% higher than that of independent tree. So I estimate that thinning slash has a some effect on the intensity of forest fire. And the result to investigate damage of forest fire according to tree species shows that leeward scorching ratio of conifer is 5% higher than that of non-conifer, and mortality of branch of the former is 19% higher than that of the latter. It is considered that forest fire may affect directly to a tree trunk if it diffuse to piled thinning tree because there was no space between thinning trees and trees. Furthermore, it was found that re-ignition had a chance to occur due to lots of piled thinning trees.

전국토의 65%가 산림지역인 우리 나라의 경우 1990년대에 들어와서 산불발생건수 및 피해면적이 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 산불을 효율적으로 관리할 수 있도록 GIS(지리정보 시스템)를 이용하여 산불피해지역의 지형을 분석하였고, 기상자료와 임상자료를 포함하여 소형산불과 대형산불의 인자간 상호 비교 분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 대형산불에 영향을 주는 인자는 사면장, 사면경사, 풍속, 수종, 수종연속성이 산불의 대형화와 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 숲 가꾸기 실행지와 미실행지의 임분 특성이 산불에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구이다. 조사지역은 강원도 양양군, 인제군 그리고 경기도 가평군 등 3개 군에서 14개소를 선정하였으며, 이중 숲 가꾸기 실행지 9개소, 미실행지의 5개소에 대한 현장조사를 실시하였다. 현장조사를 통해 임목의 수고, 흉고직경, 지하고, 죽은 가지 고사율, 임목밀도, 울폐도, 관목층 및 초본층 피도를 조사하였으며 이 자료를 통해 숲 가꾸기 실행 및 미실행지의 임내특성분석을 실시하였다. 또한 임내특성 분석으로부터 산불발생 및 확산 위험성과의 관계를 분석하였다. 숲 가꾸기 실행지역과 미실행지역의 임분 특성조사 결과 숲 가꾸기 실행지역이 미실행지역에 비해 상대적으로 평균 지하고는 높았고, 임목본수는 적었으며, 죽은 가지 고사율은 적었고, 초본층 피도는 높게 나타나고 있어 숲 가꾸기 실행지역의 산불위험도는 미실행지역보다 낮아질 것으로 판단되었다.

산불을 효율적으로 관리하기 위해서는 지역별 산불 행동 특성에 대한 이해가 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 전국 시 군 구 단위고 산불통계 자료를 이용하여 발생 및 확산 특성을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 1991년 부터 2007년까지 17년간 발생건수, 연소면적, 확산속도, 건당 면적 자료를 이용하여 산불 특성에 따라 군집을 분류하고 GIS를 이용하여 공간적 분포 특성을 분석하였다 분석결과, 산불의 공간적 특성 변이가 뚜렷하게 관찰되었고, 전국 시 군 구는 산불위험성에 따라 5개의 군집으로 분류할 수 있었다. 대도시와 인근 지역은 산불위험이 낮은 군집으로 분류되었으나, 강원도 영동지방 4개 시 군은 가장 위험한 군집으로 분류되었다. 그 뒤를 이어 남, 서해안에 인접한 시 군 구의 산불위험성이 높았다.

Last year's Goseong-Sokcho forest fires have highlighted the limitations of extinguishing work for night-time forest fire and the importance of quick identification for information on the spread of forest fire. However, it is not easy to find services that take into account the characteristics of forest fires, as most existing disaster-related mobile applications and research assume various disaster situations rather than just forest fire situations. Therefore, a system that can provide information quickly is needed, taking into account the characteristics of forest fires and the limitations of extinguishing work. In this paper, we propose evacuation route guidance services that bypass areas where fire has already spread, supplement existing methods of extinguishing work, and provide general information on forest fire situations in real time, by putting drones into forest fire situations. It has been implemented to automate image analysis using the Rekognition service of Amazon Web Service (AWS), and the results of fire detection and the T Map API guide the evacuation path. It is expected that the results of this paper will allow efficient and rapid rescue and extinguishing work to be carried out, and further reduce the damage of human life caused by forest fires.

Because fire has significant impacts on fauna and flora in forest ecosystems, as well as socioeconomic influences to local community, it has been an important field of study for decades. One of the most common ways to reduce fire risk is to enhance fire-resilience of forest through fuel treatments including thinning and prescribed burning. Since fuel treatment can't be practiced over all forested areas, appropriate and effective strategies are needed. The present study aims to look at the relationship between spatial characteristics of forest structure measured with landscape pattern metrics and burn severity to provide guidelines for effective fuel treatments. Samchuck fire was selected for the study, and 232 grids covering the study areas were generated, and the grid size was 1km. The burn severity is measured with dNBR derived from satellite imagery, and spatial characteristics of forest structure were measured using FRAGSTATS for both landscape and class levels for each 1km grid. The results of this study strongly indicated that heterogeneity in composition and configuration of forests may significantly reduce burn severity. By enhancing heterogeneity of forests, fuel treatments for fire-resilience forest could be more effective.

Generally, the characteristics of the conductor that was affected by forest fire can be analyzed only when the forest fire is accurately modeled and its effect is identified. Few studies have been conducted with a forest fire model for transmission lines, and no results of the examination of the actual test specimens that were exposed to forest fire have been reported. As the deterioration characteristics of a forest fire are difficult to analyze in the actual field, an environment that was similar to that in the field was used in this study. Deterioration was deposited on a wire using an artificial flame experiment device, to analysis the temperature, surface and component characteristics. It seems that this analysis data in this study can be used as the basic data for the database that can be utilized to analyze wires exposed to forest fire and deterioration and to predict the ACSR wire refurnishment life.

본격적인 산림자원조성시대를 대비하기 위해서는 가장 큰 피해를 주고 있는 산불에 대한 과학적이고 합리적인 산불발생에 관한 예측모형의 개발이 필수적이다. 따라서 본 연구는 이에 대한 현실적인 방안으로서 대구 경상북도지역을 대상으로 하여 기상요인을 이용한 산불발생확률모형을 개발하고자 수행하였다. 이를 위해 먼저 산불발생일의 모든 기상자료들을 검토하여 이들 기상요인과 산화발생빈도와의 함수관계를 파악하여 의미 있는 기상요인을 규명하고, 이와 병행하여 국지적(局地的) 차원(次元)의 기상자료 획득이 현실적으로 불가능하기 때문에, 각 시 군별 산불발생일의 유사정도를 적절한 통계적 기법에 이용하여 정량화(定量化)하고 이를 토대로 조사대상지역 범주화하였다. 그 결과 산불발생에 영향을 미치는 기상요인으로는 상대습도, 일조시간, 강우후 경과일로 밝혀졌으며, 조사대상지역은 대구를 중심으로 한 중남부지역, 안동을 중심으로 한 북부지역, 포항을 중심으로 한 동부해안지역으로 구분되었다. 따라서 구분된 각 지역의 시계열(時系列) 기상자료를 이용하여 logistic과 probit model을 기초로 한 산불발생확률모형이 개발되었다. 모의 실효성을 검정하기 위하여 과거 기상자료를 대입한 결과 상당한 정도의 예측능력이 확인되어, 이를 이용한 효율적인 감시활동과 진화장비의 배치 등 산불예방활동의 효율성을 제고할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
