초록

빛공해는 연안 및 섬 지역의 생태계를 교란하는 요인 중 하나이다. 본 연구는 야간 위성영상을 이용하여 다도해해상국립공원 내 섬 지역의 빛공해를 일으키는 요인을 분석하였다. 분석은 다도해해상국립공원 내 섬 중 면적이 10만m2 이상인 101개 섬을 대상으로 하였다. 연구 대상 섬의 빛공해 수준은 2019년 1월과 4월, 8월, 10월 DNB monthly 영상에 기록된 야간 빛방사량으로 측정하였다. 연구 대상 섬의 야간 빛방사량을 다도해해상국립공원의 7개 지구별로 비교하면, 금오도지구가 17,666nW/m2/sr로 가장 높았고, 거문도·백도지구, 나로도지구, 소안도·청산도지구가 뒤를 이었다. 계절별로는 10월의 야간 빛방사량이 9,509nW/m2/sr로 가장 높았고, 다음으로 8월, 1월, 4월 순이었다. 연구 대상 섬의 빛공해 수준에 영향을 미치는 요인을 회귀분석을 통해 분석한 결과, 섬에서 반경 5km 내 지역의 건축물 연면적과 등대 개소수는 모든 시기에서 야간 빛방사량에 통계적으로 유의미하게 영향을 미쳤지만, 섬 내부의 건축물 연면적과 등대 개소수는 대부분 시기에 영향을 미치지 않아, 개발이 제한된 국립공원 내 섬 지역에서는 공원 내부보다 인근 지역의 인공조명의 영향이 큰 것을 알 수 있었다. 단, 8월에는 예외적으로 섬 내부의 건축물 연면적이 섬의 야간 빛방사량에 유의미한 영향을 미쳤는데, 이는 휴가철 탐방객이 사용하는 인공조명의 영향으로 보인다. 섬의 크기는 섬의 빛공해 수준에 음(-)의 영향을 미쳤는데, 이는 빛공해가 일종의 생태적 경계효과임을 보여주는 결과이다. 즉, 작은 섬일수록, 섬 전체 면적 중 인접 지역에서 방사된 빛의 영향을 받는 경계 지역의 면적이 상대적으로 넓기 때문이다. 본 연구의 결과는 해상형 국립공원 내 섬 지역의 빛공해 저감을 위해서는, 섬 인근 지역의 인공조명 관리가 필요하다는 것을 시사한다.

Light pollution is one of the factors that disturb coastal and island ecosystems. This study examined the factors causing light pollution in the islands in Daedohaehaesang National Park using nighttime satellite images. This study selected 101 islands with an area of 100,000 m2 or more in Daedohaehaesang National Park, and measured the levels of light pollution of the selected islands by calculating mean nighttime radiance recorded in VIIRS DNB monthly images for January, April, August, and October 2019. Of seven districts of the park, The highest mean nighttime radiance was recorded in Geumodo district (17,666nW/m2/sr), followed by Geonumdo·Baekdo, Narodo, Soando·Cheongsando districts. By season, mean nighttime radiance in October was the highest at 9,509nW/m2/sr, followed by August, January, and April. Regression analyses show that the total floor area and the number of lighthouses in a 5 km buffer area had a statistically significant effect on mean nighttime radiance at all times, but those within the island did not, indicating that light pollution in islands in a national park where land development is strictly restricted is influenced by artificial lights in nearby areas. However, the total floor area of an island significantly affected mean nighttime radiance only in August, which appears to be attributed to the impact of intensive use of artificial light by visitors during summer vacation. The size of an island had a negative (-) effect on nighttime radiance. This negative effect suggests that light pollution is a type of ecological edge effect, i.e., the smaller island is more likely to have a relatively larger proportion of edge area that is affected by light emitted from the neighboring areas. The results of this study indicate that managing artificial lights in nearby areas is necessary to mitigate light pollution in islands in marine and coastal national parks.
