Abstract

In order to predict about forest fire behavior we constructed a database for combustion characteristic of forest fuels in Samcheok, Gangwon-do and prepared fire risk map and fire risk rating using GIS method in this study. For the mapping autoignition temperature, ignition time, flame duration time, total heat release and total smoke release are selected as the standardized parameters and the overall risk rating was made up of the ignition risk parameters(autoignition temperature, ignition time) and the spread risk parameters(flame duration time, total heat release, total smoke release). Forest fire risk was classified into 5 grades and lower grade of fire risk rating mean to correspond to more dangerous forest fire. As a result, the overall risk rating of Samcheok was classified into three grades from 1 to 3 and Nogok-myeon and Miro-myeon were turned out the most dangerous areas for forest fire. Because of the colony of pine and oak trees and the higher fire loads, the flame propagation will be carried out quickly in these areas.

본 연구에서는 산불발생 시 화염행동을 예측하기 위하여 강원도 삼척시를 대상으로 산림가연물의 연소특성 DB를 구축하고, 연소특성 DB로부터 GIS를 이용하여 산불위험지도 및 위험도등급화 지도를 작성하였다. 맵핑을 위한 표준화 대상변수로는 자연발화온도, 착화시간, 화염지속시간, 총열방출량, 총연기방출량을 사용하였다. 또한, 총괄위험도 등급화는 착화위험변수(자연발화온도, 착화시간)와 확산위험변수(총열방출량, 화염지속기간, 총연기방출량)를 이용하였다. 연구결과, 강원도 삼척시의 산불위험도등급은 1~5등급(5단계)으로 등급화하였으며, 1등급에 가까울수록 산불위험성이 높은 구역으로 구분하였다. 삼척시의 착화위험등급은 1등급과 5등급으로 구분되어 2단계로 나타났다. 또한, 확산위험등급은 1등급, 2등급, 4등급, 5등급으로 구분되어 4단계로 나타났다. 총괄위험등급은 1등급, 2등급, 3등급으로 구분되어 3단계로 나타났으며, 산불위험등급이 가장 높은 1등급의 구역은 산불발생위험등급과 산불확산위험등급의 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 1등급에 해당하는 구역은 삼척시의 우발리와 미로면 지역으로 나타났다. 이 지역은 산불발생 시 발열량이 높게 나타나는 소나무와 참나무 군락지로 산불발생 시 화재하중이 크게 작용하여 산불확산이 빠르게 진행될 것으로 사료된다.
