The Transforming Sacredness of Mt. Chirisan from an Utopian Shelter into a Modern National Park: Focused on the Escapist Lives of 'Mountain Men' (지리산 읽기: 유토피아적 도피처에서 근대적 국립공원으로의 변형 - '산사람'의 도피주의적 삶을 중심으로 -)

  • I examine in this paper how the contemporary sacredness of Mt. Chirisan has been modified through the reworking of the embodied experiences of the mountain. 1 examine the theme of escapism through the cases of mountain men and Chonghakdong. The two mountain men, Huh Man-Soo and Ham Tae-Sik, tacitly suggested a modem aesthetic and environmentalist view of nature by articulating a typical form of appreciating nature in a transition period from pre-modern to modern society. Mountain men mediated their own personal dreams of revitalizing the Taoist utopian place with their social practices of modernizing and democratizing the appreciation of nature. Ultimately, the appearances and practices of mountain men symbolize the end of the pre-modern geographical imagination of the mountain as distinctive plate outside society (real world). Therefore, the vision of modem civic-national landscape, national park, was made concrete at the very site where the people's dreams of utopia, the inherited sacredness of the mountain and people's religious beliefs in its protective power were terminated.

  • This study was carried out to elucidate floristic data of Chirisan National Park by performing practical field investigation for 1 year and literatures survey simultaneously in 2004. The data from field study were yielded based on voucher specimens. Total number and components of flora of Chirisan National Park is revealed as 1,825 taxa. Among 1,825 taxa, 708 taxa were identified in this field study, and these were comprised 37 orders, 109 families, 382 genera, 590 species 3 subspecies 95 varities 20 forms. Unconfirmed taxa in field but recorded previous literatures were 1,117 taxa, which consist of 41 orders 130 families 500 genera 901 species 9 subspecies 140 varities 67 forms. In conclusion, there may be provisionally 1,825 (708+1,117) taxa in Chirisan National Park. The 43 taxa were firstly found out in this field study. In the floristic data from field study, the number of Korean endemic plants were 31 taxa, the rare and endangered plants which was designated by Korea Forest Service were 21 taxa, the taxa that is more than the third degree among the floristic regional indicator plants which was designated by Korean Ministry of Environment were 40 taxa, and naturalized alien plants to Korea were 27 taxa respectively. Among 1,117 taxa which were not found in this study but recorded in 22 previous literatures, the number of Korean endemic plants were 45 taxa, the rare and endangered plants which was designated by Korea Forest Service were 45 taxa, the taxa that is more than the third degree among the floristic regional indicator plants which was designated by Ministry of Environment were 121 taxa, and naturalized alien plants to Korea were 31 taxa. It can be inferred that the vegetation of Chirisan National Park was changing by some factors and valuable plant resources were tend to diminishing by such as human interference and developments.

  • 지리산 국립공원의 동부지역을 대상으로 구상나무개체군 동태를 파악하기 위하여 1999년 7월에 49개의 조사구(20m$\times$15m)를 설치하여 식생구조를 조사하였다. 조사대상지의 구상나무는 북사면에서 해발 900m 이상 남사면에서 해발 1,000m 이상에서 분포하였다 구상나무의 상대우점치는 북사면의 경우 해발 1,300-1,500m 사이에서 높게나타났으며 남사면의 경우 해발 1,400-1,600m 사이에서 높게 나타났다. 조사구별 구상나무의 상대우점치는 북사면에서 높게 나타났으나 흉고직경 2-17m 미만의 개체수 경우 북사며에서보다 남사면의 조사구에서 많이 나타났고 대경목은북사면에서 많이 나타났다.

  • The freshwater fish fauna of Chirisan National Park, where dramatic environment changes will be expected due to develop tour and hiking, was censused to establish base line data for natural conservation program Four species belonging to 3 families included in Cyprindae, Amblycitidas and the present fishes were collected in this region. Dominant species was dark chub, therefore chareful organization of the tour development and the preservation of ichthyological fauna are strongly recommended.
