This study was conducted to support for determining an efficient sampling design for forest resources assessments in South Korea with respect to statistical efficiency. For this objective, different systematic sampling designs were simulated and compared based on an artificial forest population that had been built from field sample data and satellite data in Yang-Pyeong County, Korea. Using the k-NN technique, two thematic maps (growing stock and forest cover type per pixel unit) across the test area were generated; field data (n=191) and Landsat ETM+ were used as source data. Four sampling designs (systematic sampling, systematic sampling for post-stratification, systematic cluster sampling, and stratified systematic sampling) were employed as optimum sampling design candidates. In order to compute error variance, the Monte Carlo simulation was used (k=1,000). Then, sampling error and relative efficiency were compared. When the objective of an inventory was to obtain estimations for the entire population, systematic cluster sampling was superior to the other sampling designs. If its objective is to obtain estimations for each sub-population, post-stratification gave a better estimation. In order to successfully perform this procedure, it requires clear definitions of strata of interest per field observation unit for efficient stratification.

Although the importance of developing reliable and systematic GHG inventory has increased, the GIS/RS-based national scale LULUCF (Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry) sector analysis is insufficient in the context of the Paris Agreement. In this study, the change in $CO_2$ storage of forest land due to land use change is estimated using two GIS/RS methodologies, Sampling and Wall-to-Wall methods, from 2000 to 2010. Particularly, various imagery with sampling data and land cover maps are used for Sampling and Wall-to-Wall methods, respectively. This land use matrix of these methodologies and the national cadastral statistics are classified by six land-use categories (Forest land, Cropland, Grassland, Wetlands, Settlements, and Other land). The difference of area between the result of Sampling methods and the cadastral statistics decreases as the sample plot distance decreases. However, the difference is not significant under a 2 km sample plot. In the 2000s, the Wall-to-Wall method showed similar results to sampling under a 2 km distance except for the Settlement category. With the Wall-to-Wall method, $CO_2$ storage is higher than that of the Sampling method. Accordingly, the Wall-to-Wall method would be more advantageous than the Sampling method in the presence of sufficient spatial data for GHG inventory assessment. These results can contribute to establish an annual report system of national greenhouse gas inventory in the LULUCF sector.

Acquiring accurate quantitative and qualitative information is necessary for the technical and scientific management of forest stands. In this study, stratification and systematic random sampling methods were used to estimation of quantitative characteristics in study area. The estimator ($((E%)^2xT)$) was used to compare the systematic random and stratified sampling methods. 100 percent inventory was carried out in an area of 400 hectares; characteristics as: tree density, crown cover (canopy), and basal area were measured. Tree density of stands was compared through systemic random and stratified sampling methods. Findings of the study reveal that stratified sampling method gives a better representation of estimates than systematic random sampling.

제5차 국가산림자원조사는 다양한 산림자원의 현황을 평가하고 시간경과에 따른 산림자원의 변화를 모니터링하기 위하여 연년조사체계로 개편되었다. 본 연구는 충청북도를 대상으로 연년조사체계에서 수집된 현지조사 표본점 자료를 이용하여 일정시점의 평균임목축적을 추정하기 위한 방법을 모색하기 위해 수행되었다. 연년통계량의 산출을 위하여 임상구분의 표본층을 고려하지 않은 단순임의추출법과 표본층을 고려한 사후층화이중추출법의 추정식을 이용한 추정치를 비교한 결과, 사후층화이중추출법에 의한 추정치의 정확도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 최근 5년간 수집된 현지조사 자료를 통합하기 위하여 조사년도의 차이를 고려하지 않은 시차 무시법(Temporally Indifferent Method), 조사년도별 추정치를 산출한 후 통합하는 단순이동평균법, 그리고 연도별 표본개수에 의해 가중치를 부여하는 가중이동평균법에 의한 평균임목축적과 추정분산을 비교하였다. 평균임목축적은 시차 무시법과 가중이동평균법에서 동일한 것으로 나타났지만, 추정치의 정도를 나타내는 추정분산은 가중이동평균법을 이용한 것이 약간 향상되었으며, 결과적으로 연도별 변이를 반영할 수 있는 가중이동평균법이 보다 적합한 것으로 평가되었다.

Forests are to be recognized as an important carbon sink under the UNFCCC that consist of above- and below-biomass, dead organic matter (DOM) such as dead wood and litter, and soil organic matter (SOM). In order to asses for DOM and SOM, however, it is relevant to land-use change matrices over last 20 years for each land-use category. In this study, a land-use change matrix was produced and its uncertainty was assessed using a point sampling technique with permanent sample plots in national forest inventory at Chungbuk province. With point sampling estimated areas at 2012 year for each land-use category were significantly similar to the true areas by given six land-use categories. Relative standard error in terms of uncertainty of land-use change among land-use categories ranged in 4.3~44.4%, excluding the other land. Forest and cropland covered relatively large areas showed lower uncertainty compared to the other land-use categories. This result showed that selected permanent samples in the NFI are able to support for producing land-use change matrix at a national or province level. If the $6^{th}$ NFI data are fully collected, the uncertainty of estimated area should be improved.

In this study, land-use changes from 1990 to 2010 in Jeju Island by different approaches were produced and compared to suggest a more efficient approach. In a sample-based method, land-use changes were analyzed with different sampling intensities of 2 km and 4 km grids, which were distributed by the fifth National Forest Inventory (NFI5), and their uncertainty was assessed. When comparing the uncertainty for different sampling intensities, the one with the grid of 2 km provided more precise information; ranged from 6.6 to 31.3% of the relative standard error for remaining land-use categories for 20 years. On the other hand, land-cover maps by a wall-to-wall approach were produced by using time-series Landsat imageries. Forest land increased from 34,194 ha to 44,154 ha for 20 years, where about 69% of total forest land were remained as forest land and 19% and 8% within forest lands were converted to grassland and cropland, respectively. In the case of grassland, only about 40% of which were remained as grassland and most of the area were converted to forest land and cropland. When comparing land-cover area by land-use categories with land-use statistics, forest areas were underestimated while areas of cropland and grassland were overestimated. In order to analyze land use change, it is necessary to establish a clear and consistent definition on the six land use classification.

This study compared and analyzed the construction of a land use change matrix for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) land use, land use change, and forestry area (LULUCF). We used National Forest Inventory (NFI) permanent sample plots (with a sample intensity of 4 km) and permanent sample plots with 500 m sampling intensity. The land use change matrix was formed using the point sampling method, Level-2 Land Cover Maps, and forest aerial photographs (3rd and 4th series). The land use change matrix using the land cover map indicated that the annual change in area was the highest for forests and cropland; the cropland area decreased over time. We evaluated the uncertainty of the land use change matrix. Our results indicated that the forest land use, which had the most sampling, had the lowest uncertainty, while the grassland and wetlands had the highest uncertainty and the least sampling. The uncertainty was higher for the 4 km sampling intensity than for the 500 m sampling intensity, which indicates the importance of selecting the appropriate sample size when constructing a national land use change matrix.

본 연구는 경상북도 봉화군 춘양면 애당리 수확 벌채 지역을 대상으로 다양한 표본추출방법을 적용하여 재적을 산출한 후 실제 벌채량 및 설계서상의 재적 값과의 비교를 통해 보다 정확하고 비용 효율적인 표본추출방법을 제시하고자 수행하였다. 연구에 사용된 표본추출방법으로는 1) 임의추출법, 2) 계통추출법, 3) 선상추출법을 적용하였으며, 각 표본추출방법별로 이동시간, 추정된 재적평균의 표본 오차율, 조사시간, 조사원 규모, 시간당 임금, 표본점 개수 등을 이용하여 표본추출방법에 대한 산림조사의 비용 효율성을 분석하였다. 각 표본추출방법별로 10개의 표본점을 추출하였으며, Bootstrap 기법을 이용하여 표본 강도의 타당성을 검증하였다. 분석결과, 선상추출법이 임의 및 계통추출법보다 실측된 재적 값과의 재적 편차가 상대적으로 가장 적은 것으로 나타났고, 산림 조사 비용 측면에서는 목표 표준오차율에 상관없이 임의추출법을 활용한 산림조사가 조사비용이 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과에 따르면, 선상추출법과 임의추출법을 통한 산림조사 방법이 계통추출법을 이용한 방법보다 비용 효율적이며 재적의 정확도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 사례 연구의 특성상, 연구에서 분석된 결과의 일반화에는 한계가 있어, 향후 국내의 다양한 지역을 대상으로 동일한 방법의 연구가 진행된다면, 국내 산림의 환경적 특성을 반영한 표본추출방법이 제시될 것으로 기대된다.

The plot design influences the budgets and the precision of forest inventory results. The objective of this study is to determine the efficiency of estimating forest variables such as tree density, basal area, volume, and species richness based on various plot sizes using fixed-area plot sampling in the natural deciduous forest of Pyeong-Chang County, Gang-won Province, Korea. In this study, 108 reference plots were established with a fixed plot size and shape of 0.09 ha ($30m{\times}30m$). In order to determine the optimal plot size for the interest of variables, each sample plot was established using different shapes (square, circle, and rectangle) and was divided into different plot sizes from 100 to $900m^2$. The mean relative difference (MRD) for the sum of the basal area and volume, and tree density per hectare decreased as plot size increased. But the MRD for three variables were only below 13% at the plot size of $500m^2$. Species richness for each reference stand observed ranging from 2 to 15 species, demonstrated highly positive significant relationships with plot size. The minimum plot size for the estimation of tree density, the sum of the BA and volume was determined to be about $400m^2$, whereas the estimation of species richness required a minimum plot size of $500m^2$.
