우리나라의 경우 1990년대에 들어와서 산불발생건수 및 피해지역이 지속적으로 증가하고 있으며 산불피해지 복원기술은 주로 사방복구와 조림 등 녹화기술에 집중되어 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 동해안 산불피해지를 중심으로 산불특성, 임지환경을 고려한 내화수종의 선발 및 GIS 분석 기법을 적용하여 내화수림대를 조성하고 Virtual GIS의 활용을 통하여 공간정보자료가 산불피해지역 복원에 있어서의 경관생태학적 접근연구에 어떻게 활용될 수 있는 것인가에 대한 적용기법을 개발하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 GIS 분석기법을 적용하여 대형산불방지를 위한 산불 연소 특성을 고려한 내화수종을 GIS의 공간 분석을 이용하여 조성된 내화수림대에 적정 임분배치를 수행하였다. 아울러 연구 대상지의 나무 생장 모델을 이용하여 경년에 따른 산림경관을 조성하였으며 Virtual GIS를 활용하여 현실세계와 가장 유사한 3차원 지형을 구축하고 Tracking Simulation을 수행하였다.

Historical Documents on Proper Tree Selection System of Korea were collected in Japan and introduced in this review. Products of some pine species and fruit were used for laying a tribute to Kings in the Chosun dynasty. In this review, some case studies and implementation of proper tree selection system during the period of Japanese rule, the atlas of climatically favourable regions for the species of trees and bamboos in Korean peninsular, and the test results on regional afforestation, tree selection and proper tree selection of fast growing trees were introduced. Of these documents, especially, the atlas of climatically favourable regions of trees and bamboos growing in Korean peninsular is considered as a valuable document. It tis expected that these historical documents on proper tree selection system might be use as references for the researches on indigenous forest, forest resources development, afforestation of fire damaged areas, and the restoration project of North Korea by the time of reunification of Korea.

Clear-cut followed by tree planting has been a conventional management practice in burned forests in Korea. Because this can considerably increase soil loss, hillslope treatments may be needed in order to improve soil stability at poorly regenerating areas. This paper reviews the effects of hillslope treatments, such as seeding, mulching and log erosion barriers, which have been applied to restore vegetation and conserve soil in burned forests in North America and Europe. Seeding has been the most common method for postfire restoration. However, the effects of seeding on vegetation cover and soil erosion are not clear and seeding with non-native species has been reported to inhibit regeneration of native vegetation. Mulching has been found to be effective at reducing soil erosion. However, this also can introduce non-native plant species and inhibit native plant regeration. Although studies on the effect of log erosion barriers are very few, it appears that log erosion barriers are effective in the period of little rainfall. Hillslope treatments for postfire restoration is not necessary for naturally regenerating areas and therefore, they should be restricted to the areas where regeneration potential is low and runoff and soil loss is considerable. Long-term monitoring is needed to assess the effectiveness of hillslope treatments on soil erosion, the introduction of non-native plant species and the inhibition of natural plant regeneration.

In Korea the number of forest fire occurrence and its damaged area have increased drastically and the plans for afforestation such as sound erosion control restoration and forestation have performed to restore for forest fire damaged area. In this study fire resistant forest was developed by selecting fire resistance tree species and applying GIS analysis, considering the characteristic of forest fire and location environment in forest fire damaged area along the east coast. Moreover, it showed the possibility of how spatial information technology such as virtual GIS could be applied during restoring forest fire damaged area and approaching landscape ecology researches. Especially the fire resistant forest was established by using GIS analysis against large scaled forest fires then the best forest arrangement was performed through this fire resistant forest species and 3D modeling in study area. In addition, the forest landscape was established through site index on passing years and then 3D topography and tracking simulation, which is very similar to real world, were constructed by using virtual GIS.
