캐나다 FireSmart 매뉴얼을 적용한 장성 방장산자연휴양림 시설물의 산불 위험성 평가

Abstract

This study assessed hazards regarding how severely the accommodations and convenient facilities of Bangjang Mt. National Recreation Forest were exposed to hazard due to forest fire. FireSmart Manual of Alberta, Canada, was applied because scale applied to assessment had not been developed in Korea yet. The results are as follows. First, in case of lodging building, it was shown that the lodging building with low hazard due to forest fire (lower than 21 points out of 137) was ant and grasshopper building and harmony building. It was shown that the lodging building with the worst hazard (35 points or higher) included 6 buildings, i.e., happy building (44 points), fresh building (49 points), blue cloud building (50 points), forsythia building (60 points), dandelion building (60 points), and Korean azalea building (60 points). Second, it was shown that convenient facilities with low hazard (lower than 21 points) were office building (training center in the woods, 12 points). And it was shown that the worst one (35 points or higher) was craft studio building (45 points) and ticket office (48 points). In case of facilities inside Bangjang Mt. National Recreation Forest, principal factors in hazards due to forest fire included building exterior type, the combustibility of porch and balcony, location of nearby combustibles, setback from the edge of a slope, surface vegetation and forest vegetation regarding overstory trees in the stand around facilities, and the spatial distribution of combustible ladder fuel. Hence, it is intended to suggest that there is a need for organizing a consultative body to communicate about cooperation, training, community plan and development, legal trouble, education, fuel management and the like inside recreation forest zone and developing Korean national recreation forest FireSmart Manual, precheck scale, in order to minimize damage due to forest fire.
