Abstract

In the current study, we surveyed the status of graveyard lawn maintenance in Korea. The lawn maintenance information was obtained from the vicarious companies registered on the internet portal site and the Forestry Federation of Korea, and the questionnaire investigation from Primary Agricultural Cooperatives (Nonghyup). In all provinces surveyed, individual graves were maintained on a $66m^2$ (20 Pyeong) basis. The vicarious maintenance of graveyard lawn was carried out 1~5 times a year, and the maintenance cost increased as the number of times increased. Mowing the grass around a grave (Beolcho) was mainly done before the Korean Thanksgiving Day (Chuseok). The number of Beolcho was steadily increased from 2013 to 2015, and the price was getting higher and higher. Gyeonggi province had the highest cost, and Jeolla had the lowest cost. Regardless of the year, the number of orders received were higher in Gyeongnam > Gyeongbuk > Jeonnam province in order. Most of the reason for requested Beolcho was because the client lives in the area far from the graveyard. The direction of the cemetery was very varied. According to the survey, the all grass were zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica), and grass coverage rate of the graves was 35.4~71.9%. Through questionnaire investigation, the reason why the density of grass was lowered was because the periodic management of weeds and fallen leaves was insufficient. Further research on the maintenance of graveyard in the future will be necessary.

본 연구에서는 우리나라의 지역별 묘지 잔디 관리 실태를 조사하였다. 인터넷 포털 사이트에 등록된 묘지 관리 대행 업체, 산림조합중앙회, 농협(단위 농협)으로부터 묘지관리에 대한 정보를 직접 받거나 설문을 통해 자료를 얻은 다음 정리, 분석하였다. 조사한 모든 지역에서 개인 및 가족 묘지는 $66m^2$ (20 평)을 기준으로 관리되었다. 묘지 관리는 연 1~5회 이루어졌고, 1회 관리(벌초)가 가장 많았으며, 횟수가 늘어날수록 관리 비용도 높아졌다. 벌초는 주로 추석 직전에 이루어졌다. 벌초 비용은 지역별로 경기도가 가장 높았으며, 전라도가 가장 낮았다. 산림조합중앙회와 농협 자료를 토대로 벌초 대행은 2013년부터 2015년까지 해가 갈수록 의뢰 횟수는 늘었고, 가격도 높아지는 경향이었다. 연도에 관계없이 경남 > 경북 > 전남 순서로 의뢰 횟수와 금액이 많았다. 벌초의 의뢰는 의뢰자가 묘지로부터 멀리 살기 때문인 이유가 대부분이었다. 실태조사에 따르면, 봉분의 방향은 매우 다양하였다. 묘지의 잔디는 들잔디(Zoysia japonica)였으며, 시도별 묘지의 잔디 밀도는 35.4~71.9% 범위였다. 많은 묘지에서 잔디 밀도가 낮은 이유는 잡초나 낙엽 등에 대한 주기적 관리가 미흡했기 때문으로 조사되었다. 향후 묘지 잔디 관리에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
