초록

야마다의 산지차수구분법은 상향식으로 정의할 수 있는데, 이는 저차수 산지들이 모여 점차 차상위차수 산지를 이룸과 동시에 산지의 영역과 규모가 확대되기 때문이다. 하지만 산지를 총체적으로 이해하고 각종 산지 정보를 체계적으로 관리하기 위해서는, 특정 규모의 산지를 이루는데 기여한 차하위차수 산지만을 강조하는 야마다의 산지구분법에는 한계가 있다. 왜냐하면 상위차수 산지내에는 차하위차수 산지뿐만 아니라 독립된 차차하위, 차차차하위 산지도 포함되어 있기 때문이다. 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서 제시된 산지분류법은 기본적으로 하향식이다. 여기서 하향식이란 최고위차수 산지를 구성하는 차하위차수 산지, 다시 이를 구성하는 차차하위차수 산지로 산지를 세분해나가 최종적으로 2차수 산지를 구성하고 있는 1차수 산지까지 분류해 나가는 것을 의미한다. 본 연구에서는 야마다 산지차수구분법을 근간으로 특정 산체를 구성하고 있는 모든 산지 요소를 체계적으로 분류하고 구분된 산지에 대한 새로운 명명법을 제시함으로써 산지정보의 종합적 체계적 관리를 위한 데이터베이스의 근간을 마련했다.

Yamada's mountain ordering is to be said as an upward system, because the area and volume of the mountains become the larger as more than two lower order mountains constitute the higher order mountain. However, his mountain ordering shows some limitations to totally understand the mountain systems and to systematically manage the various kinds of mountainous informations. Because the independent third, fourth and so on, as well as the second lower order mountains are included in the higher order mountain. In order to solve the problem above, the downward system is suggested as the alternative of his upward system. The downward system means that the higher order mountain is classified into the second lower order mountains, and the second lower order mountain is classified into the third lower order mountains and finally the 2nd order mountain classified into the 1st order mountains. The method to classify a certain mountain systematically into all mountainous elements and the new nomenclature to be used for the classified elements are developed, using the downward system above. And the structure of database could be also suggested for the integrated and systematic management of mountain informations.
