An Analysis of Shifting Cultivation Areas in Luang Prabang Province, Lao PDR, Using Satellite Imagery and Geographic Information Systems

위성영상과 지리정보시스템을 이용한 라오스 루앙프라방 지역의 화전지역 분석


Abstract

By Using MOS-1 satellite image(taken on 24 April 1990, after slash and burn), Shifting cultivation areas were estimated for the sub-basin area. In tropical region to analyse the correlation between shifting cultivation rate and bifurcation rate network which was calculated from topographic map, PC Arc - Info and IDRISI GIS software were used. As the distribution rate of shifting cultivation increases, the bifurcation rate is high. From the correlation analysis between the shifting cultivation and drainage network, it was found that shifting cultivation leads to land degradation and head erosion at the stream valley. To prevent such problems, it is mecessary that shifting cultivation areas should be converted to permanent paddy fields.

삼림을 베어서 태우고 난 직 후의 라오스 북부 화전지역의 MOS-1 위성영상을 처리하여 유역분지 단위로 화전지역의 면적을 산출하였으며, 지형도상에서 얻어낸 하계망과의 상관관계를 분석하기 위하여 PC Arc - Info의 GIS software를 이용하였다. 그 결과 화전의 분포비율이 높은 유역분지에서는 1차수하천의 분기율도 높게 나타남을 알수 있으며, 라오스에 있어서 화전이 지표 의 침식과 토지의 황폐화를 초래하여 여러가지 환경문제를 유발시키는 원인이 된다는 것이 규명 되었다.
