Abstract
This study purposed to analyze the spatial pattern and the amount of carbon emission at the deforestation area in Gangwondo. Forest geographic information system(FGIS) and administrative data were used in the analysis. The area size and spatial patterns of deforestation area were analyzed according to the article 3.3 of Kyoto protocol. Forest administration data for 9 years from 2000 to 2008 were entered into a database. Fifty-nine percent of deforestation area was found within 200m of the road network, and seventy-five percent of the area was found within 500m. Theoretical carbon emission based on deforestation area was estimated at 6,968tc. Carbon emission of national forest was 5.7times higher than that of private forest.
