Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the trail deterioration condition and to obtain the information for the desirable maintenance and restoration of trail in national parks. The results obtained from this study were summarized as follows; The physical characteristics of trail were surveyed at the total 778 point for 204.5 km in length. As a result, the average degree of trail was $14.6^{\circ}$, average trail width was 1.5m and average bared trail width was 1.1 m. Major deterioration types of trail were trail deepen (37%), root exposed, widen, diverged, rock exposed and slope erosion in order of frequency. Deterioration class of trail were that non-deterioration was 165.34 km (80.9%), heavy class was 9.08 km, middle class was 12.69 km and light class was 17.39 km and the deterioration rate was 19.1%.

본 연구는 산악형 국립공원으로 분류된 6개 국립공원 53개 노선 204.5 km 구간을 대상으로 탐방로의 물리적 특성 및 훼손유형, 훼손정도 등을 파악하여 공원관리를 위한 기초자료로 활용하기 위해 수행되었다. 탐방로의 물리적 특성을 조사한 결과, 노면의 평균경사는 $14.6^{\circ}$, 평균 노폭은 1.5 m, 평균 나지폭은 1.1 m로 조사되었고, 훼손유형은 6개의 유형이 2,686회 나타났으며, 노면침식 현상이 전체 훼손유형의 37%로 가장 많은 발생을 보였다. 다음으로 뿌리노출 현상, 노폭확대 현상, 분기 현상, 암석노출 현상, 비탈붕괴 현상 순으로 조사되었고, 훼손정도를 조사한 결과, "건전" 구간이 165.34 km로 80.9%를 차지하고 있었고, "강" 구간이 9.08 km, "중" 구간이 12.69 km, "약" 구간이 17.39 km로 훼손구간은 39.16 km에 훼손율은 19.1%로 조사되었다.
