Abstract

The objectives of this study were to investigate the location, shape, environment, and vegetation of the Village Forest in Gyeonggi-do and to evaluate the ecological integration and changes of the Village Forests to figure out the measures for conservation and management. There were 23 Village Forests remain in Gyeonggi-do. Ten Village Forests were established based on Feng-shui background. Many of them were found in Yongin area and southeast of Icheon. The Village Forests were owned by local community at 9 village and privately owned at 8 villages. Most Village Forests were managed by local communities except for the two managed by private person. Fifty-two percent of the Village Forests were in strip shape, and most of them were established by Feng-shui background or for the prevention of disasters. The average size of the Village Forests was relatively small at 3,046m2. The most frequent tree species found at the Village Forest were Zelkova serrata and Pinus densiflora. Over half of the number of Village Forests showed vertical structure of overstory trees only or overstory-sub overstory combination, which seemed to be resulted from the loss of understory plants by the activities of local residents. The Village Forests that had over 30% of damaged trees were found at 7 villages. The damages were caused by the road construction close to the groves, soil compaction, and tree death by covering lower stem with soil. The vitality of the damaged trees seemed to be significantly low compared to that of the undamaged. There were factors that determined the changes in the Village Forests: community ritual, institutional protection, designation as a water resource protection district, road construction, land use change, windstorm hazards, and development of forest areas. In order to conserve and manage the Village Forests appropriately, it is necessary to limit excessive use of the grove areas and maintain proper tree growing conditions by improving the soil environment. The development of neighborhood areas need to be controlled and community activities should be encouraged to maintain or restore the original landscape of the groves. Protection measures and supporting policies need to be enforced to keep the Village Forests from disappearing in near future.

본 연구는 경기지역 마을숲의 위치, 형태, 환경, 식물상 등을 조사하고 변화과정을 바탕으로 경기도 마을숲의 보존 및 관리를 위한 방안을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 현존하는 경기도 마을숲은 23개소이다. 경기도의 마을숲은 풍수적 배경을 가진 경우가 10개소로 가장 많았다. 특히 용인 및 이천의 남동지역에 다수의 마을숲이 남아있었다. 마을숲의 소유주체는 마을 9개소, 개인 8개소였다. 개인이 관리하고 있는 마을숲은 2개소였고 나머지는 마을에서 공동관리하고 있었다. 마을숲의 형태는 전체의 52.1%가 띠형이었으며, 풍수 및 재해방지를 위해 조성된 것임을 알 수 있었다. 마을숲의 면적은 평균 $3,046m^2$로 비교적 작았다. 마을숲을 구성하고 있는 수종은 느티나무와 소나무가 가장 많았으며, 단순교목림과 교목-아교목림의 수직구조를 보이는 마을숲이 56.5%로 과반수를 차지했다. 수목 피해가 30%이상인 마을숲은 총 7개소였다. 피해 원인은 숲에 인접한 도로 건설, 토양 답압, 복토로 인한 고사 등이었으며 피해목의 활력도는 정상수목에 비해 활력이 현저히 저하되었다. 마을숲은 동제 존속 여부, 제도적 보호, 상수원보호구역 지정, 도로 건설, 토지이용 변화, 풍수해 및 산림 개발의 영향을 받아 변화한 것으로 나타났다. 마을숲의 보존 및 관리를 위하여 숲의 과다한 이용을 제한하고 수목을 보호하며 토양 환경을 개선하여 숲의 생육 환경을 유지해야 한다. 그리고 숲 주변지역의 개발을 제한하고 마을공동체 활동을 중심으로 숲의 원형을 유지 또는 복원할 필요가 있다. 또한 마을숲을 보호하고 지원하는 제도를 체계화하여 마을숲의 소실을 최소화해야 한다.
