Forest fires occur the world over, with large-scale fires constantly breaking out. A suppressant a type of forest fire chemical is widely used to respond to fires rapidly and effectively. In general, suppressants used for fires have been divided into dry powder, liquid, foam, and gel type, according to physical form and use. This study has conducted toxicity tests relating to phytotoxicity(Pinus densiflora seed germination rate and mortality of containerized seedling), and soil organism toxicity(earthworm acute toxicity tests), of these suppressants, with the loaded stream suppressant for direct forest fire extinguishing a Loaded Stream and foam concentrates generally being used in Korea. From the results of the tests, the loaded stream and the foam concentrate had an effect on the toxicity levels. In the case of the loaded stream type, it was observed that toxicity indicating a 100% lethality rate was found among all toxicity test methods. Therefore, it is determined that forest ecology environmental toxicity impact assessments related to the suppressant used to extinguish forest fires are necessary in the near future.

A forest fire was one of the huge disasters and damaged human lifes and a properties. Therefore, many countries operated forest fire forecasting systems which developed from forest fire records, weather data, fuel models and etc. And many countries also estimated future state of forest fire using a long-term climate forecasting like GCMs and prepared resources for future huge disasters. In this study, we analyzed relationships between forest fire occurrence and meteorological factors (the minimum temperature ($^{\circ}C$), the relative humidity (%), the precipitation (mm), the duration of sunshine (hour) and etc.) for developing a estimating tools, which could forecast forest fire regime under future climate change condition. Results showed that forest fires in this area were mainly occurred when the maximum temperature was $10{\sim}200^{\circ}C$, when the relative humidity was 40~60%, and when the average wind speed was under 2m/s. And forest fires mainly occurred at 2~3 day after rainfall.

영동에는 1996년 4월부터 2002년 9월사이에 대형의 산불과 수해가 있었다. 이 산불과 수해는 역사이래 초유의 것으로 보도되기도 했다. 1996년과 2000년에는 고성군과 강릉ㆍ동해ㆍ삼척시 등지에서 26,000여ha의 숲이 '불바다'를 이루었고, 2002년에는 영동의 하천 거의 전부에서 크고 작은 '물난리'를 겪었다.(중략)

인공위성영상(ETM+)을 이용하여 산불피해지역을 추출하기 위해 신경망기법을 응용하였다. 적용된 신경망은 3개의 층으로 구성된 전향신경망이며 Levenberg-Marquardt 역전파 훈련 알고리즘을 사용하였다. 산불피해지역은 심, 중, 경 세 가지로 나누었으며, 그외 피해없는 산림지역과 기타(나지, 도시 등)지역으로 분류하였다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the patterns of forest fire possibly related with Asian dust event and carry out a correlation analysis between forest fire occurrence and existence or not of the Asian dust event during dry seasons i.e. February to May in 2000 to 2008. To study the correlation of forest fire and Asian dust, we surveyed information of Asian dust observations, forest fire statistics, fire danger rating index, weather data such as temperature, relative humidity and wind speed of the day occurring the forest fire. As a consequence of analysis, the regional frequency of Asian dust was the highest in Gyeonggi and Chungbuk divisions. Frequencies of forest fire occurrence by the Asian dust events were the highest in the day before three days of the Asian dust event. The highest frequent regions of forest fire occurrence were district of boundary line between Gyeonggi and Western of Gangwon, Chungbuk and Gyeonbuk inland. The correlation between forest fire and fire danger rating index showed the high correlation with the day before three days and after three days of the Asian dust event. These correlation coefficients were 0.50038 and 0.53978 to 1% significance level. The result of analysis between the frequency of forest fire occurrence and wind speed had a highly negative relationship at all the Asian dust days, the day before and after three days. The correlation coefficients had been -0.58623 to -0.61245 to 1% significance level. Relative humidity showed a little of negative relationship with forest fire occurrence in -0.2568(p ${\leq}$ 0.01) for the Asian dust day and -0.35309(p ${\leq}$ 0.01) for next three days. Moreover, at the day before three days of Asian dust events, it was -0.23701 to 1% significance level. However, the mean temperature did not correlate with frequency of forest fire occurrence by Asian dust events at all.

CBI(Composite Burn Index) developed by USDA Forest Service is a index to measure burn severity based on remote sensing. In Korea, the CBI has been used to investigate the burn severity of fire sites for the last few years. However, it has been an argument on that CBI is not adequate to capture unique characteristics of Korean forests, and there has been a demand to develop KCBI(Korean Composite Burn Index). In this regard, this study aimed to develop KCBI by adjusting the CBI and to validate its applicability by using remote sensing technique. Uljin and Youngduk, two large fire sites burned in 2011, were selected as study areas, and forty-four sampling plots were assigned in each study area for field survey. Burn severity(BS) of the study areas were estimated by analyzing NDVI from SPOT images taken one month later of the fires. Applicability of KCBI was validated with correlation analysis between KCBI index values and NDVI values and their confusion matrix. The result showed that KCBI index values and NDVI values were closely correlated in both Uljin (r = -0.54 and p<0.01) and Youngduk (r = -0.61 and p<0.01). Thus this result supported that proposed KCBI is adequate index to measure burn severity of fire sites in Korea. There was a number of limitations, such as the low correlation coefficients between BS and KCBI and skewed distribution of KCBI sampling plots toward High and Extreme classes. Despite of these limitations, the proposed KCBI showed high potentials for estimating burn severity of fire sites in Korea, and could be improved by considering the limitations in further studies.

인공위성을 이용하여 산불피해지역을 분석하기 위해 KT(Kauth-Thomas)변환기법과 IHS(Intensity-Hue-Saturation)변환기법을 적용하여 비교해 보고 산불피해등급지도를 작성하였다. 방사보정과 지형보정을 수행한 영상을 각각 IHS와 KT로 변환시킨 후 최대우도법에 의하여 분류하였다. 정확도 평가에서 KHAT statistic은 각각 0.67와 0.76을 나타내었다. 현장데이터가 부족하여 cross-validation을 수행하였으며, 일관되게 KT변환기법에 의한 분류결과가 IHS기법에 의한 분류결과보다 더 높은 정확도를 보여주었다. 또한 KT feature space 와 IHS 컴포넌트의 분광 분포를 그래프 상에서 분석해 보았다. 3개의 KT feature 중, greenness와 wetness가 brightness 보다 각 클래스에 대해서 보다 높은 분리성을 제공하였다. 하니만 IHS 컴포넌트의 분광분포는 뚜렷한 분리성이 나타나지 않고 서로 섞여 있는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 따라서, KT변환기법이 IHS변환기법보다 산불피해지역을 추출함에 있어 더 높은 정확도를 나타내고, 산불과 관련된 지표의 물리적 특성을 더 잘 반영한다고 할 수 있다.

본 논문은 KOMPSAT-2 화상을 활용일환으로 산불피해등급의 판독열쇠 개발에 관한 연구이다. 고해상도 화상을 통한 산불피해림의 정성정보 제공에 이용될 판독 열쇠는 잣나무(림)의 산불피해등급 판별을 위해 4가지 요소，즉 색，형태，구조 그리고 질감에 기초로 개발하였다. 개발된 육안 판독열쇠는 항공 위색적외선 화상(CIR images)과 항공 흑백적외선 사진 (black and white IR photos)에서도 지형효과에 의한 그림자 영향과 무관하게 산불 잣나무(림) 피해등급 판별을 위해 사용할 수 있다.
