Abstract

In order to propose effective conservation management plan, this study verified ecological characteristics, humanities and Social characteristics. The research site is private property which is owned belonging to the Kim's of Gimhae that have long history. The study site is more than a thousand years old and was created for protecting from typhoon. There held the religious ritual what is called Dongsinje until 1960s. There have been protected and managed by the villagers. As the results of analysis, the area of windbreak are $12,392.69m^2$. The windbreak is dominated old years deciduous broad-leaved tree such as Zelkova serrata, Celtis sinensis, Aphananthe aspera. Around there were farmlands(52.1%), urbanized area(26.3%), forest area(16.6%). The vegetation communities of windbreak were classified by considering the dominant species and current status of forest. The forest types are following as; A. aspera community(I) which is using less pressure, Platycarya strobilacea-Carpinus coreana-Z. serrata community(II). Z. serrata community(III) which is using high pressure, Z. serrata-A. aspera community(IV), Z. serrata community(V) which is damaged under canopy trees. The windbreak was in good condition whereas, there were concerns the some wrong status was being undermined such as the wrong forest restoration projects in the past, the trails that is penetrating inside the forest, building up education facilities. Therefore, in order to restore the value of windbreak what is so called Suwol forest, we should improve the problems of forest ecosystem such as wrong management, forest fragmentation by facilities and decline in forest by lack of growing the next generation trees. In addition, we should remove excessive resting facilities and lead to passive use of forest. to improve the way of wrong management, moreover, we should close off he trails that is penetrating inside the forest for improving fragmentation. We should restore vegetation restoration and fostering the next generation trees for forest ecosystem. In order to restore unique of histo-cultural and ecological forest landscape, the next generation trees should be grown up that is the dominant species in Suwol forest. Moreover, as a results of comparing the between good vegetation communities and damaged vegetation communities, it is necessary to complementary planting for demeged vegetation communities, therefore there needs to 10.8 under canopy trees, 79.7 shrubs.

본 연구는 통영 수월숲의 인문학적 특성과 자연생태적 특성을 바탕으로 효율적인 보존 관리방안을 제안하기 위해 진행하였다. 김해김씨 서암파 문중 소유인 대상지는 약 1,000년 전 태풍에 대비하여 농작물을 보호하고자 조성한 숲으로 1960년까지 동신제를 지내는 등 양호하게 보호 관리되어 왔었다. 방풍림의 면적은 $12,392.69m^2$로 느티나무, 팽나무, 푸조나무 등 낙엽활엽수 노거수가 우점종이었으며 주변은 경작지(52.1%), 도시화지역(26.3%), 산림지역(16.6%)으로 둘러싸여 있었다. 우점종 및 이용압을 고려하여 군집을 분류한 결과, 이용압이 낮은 푸조나무군락(I), 굴피나무-소사나무-느티나무군락(II), 이용압이 높은 느티나무군락(III), 느티나무-푸조나무군락(IV), 이용에 의해 하층이 훼손된 느티나무군락(V)으로 구분되었다. 방풍림의 보존상태는 양호하나 과거 잘못된 마을숲 복원 사업, 내부를 관통하는 산책로, 교육장 설치 등으로 인해 훼손의 우려가 있었다. 따라서 수월숲 고유의 가치를 복원하기 위해서는 개발에 의한 숲 변화, 이용압에 의한 훼손, 관리부재로 인한 쇠퇴현상을 개선해야 할 것이다. 이용압에 의한 훼손을 방지하기 위해서는 과도한 휴게시설 철거와 정적이고 소극적인 이용을 유도해야 하고, 개발에 의한 숲 변화를 막기 위해서는 우회로를 설정한 후 관통도로를 폐쇄하는 것이, 관리부재로 인한 쇠퇴현상 개선을 위해서는 현명한 이용을 전제로 차대목 육성과 하층식생 복원이 필요하였다. 차대목은 숲내 우점종인 느티나무, 팽나무, 푸조나무, 이팝나무 등을 모수로 실생묘를 육성 도입하여 식생 및 원형경관을 회복해야 할 것이다. 하층식생 훼손지역 복원을 위해 훼손지와 양호한 식생군락을 비교한 결과 아교목층은 10.8개체, 관목층은 79.7개체 차이가 나므로 부족분을 보완식재해야 할 것이다.
