한국은 국토의 70%가 산지로 알려져 있으며, 대부분의 사람들은 한국을 산악국가로 인식하고 있다. 이러한 인식은 산림청의 산지 정의에 의해 발생한 것이다. 토지이용에 근거한 산림청의 산지정의에 의하면, 저고도에 분포하는 임 경지도 산지에 포함된다. 본 연구에서는 첫째, Kapos et al.(2000)의 정의에 따라 지형학적 산지를 정의하고 추출했다. 그 결과 남한, 북한, 한반도 전체에서 산지의 비율은 각각 31%, 51%, 42%이다. 그리고 300~1,000m, 1,000~2500m 구간에서 산지와 비산지의 비율은 고위평탄면과 같은 고원의 존재로 인해 차이를 보인다. 둘째, GIS를 이용한 중첩분석을 통해 지형학적 산지의 분포를 Qui and SON(2010)이 정의한 차수산지의 분포와 비교했다. 그 결과 가장 높은 차수의 산지인 5차수 산지에서도 구릉 및 평야, 비산지 지역이 존재했다. 이는 산림청의 산지정의가 학문적, 현실적, 인식론적 산지의 개념이나 물리적 속성에 의해 산지를 분류하기 위해 사용되는 지형학적 산지 정의와는 너무나 다르다는 주장이 가능하다. 그러므로 지형학적 산지정의는 향후 산지의 과학적인 관리를 위한 방법론의 발달에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This research was classified mountain areas with high ecological, environmental and resource value among the macro scaled terrain that can be checked at the space scale of less than 1:1,000,000 and analyzed the topographical characteristics. It has been confirmed that the mountains of the Korean peninsula belong to the groups IV, V, VI(classification by Kapos et al.(2000)) as a result of applying the quantitative standards for designation of mountain areas to the global mountain system. The area of mountains calculated using high resolution DEM is equivalent to 48% of the area of the Korean peninsula, and the result is quite different from the general idea of which 70% is the mountain area of the Korean peninsula. The mountain areas show the distribution of geomorphons, that is different from the plains and the hills and also, it shows the differences between the mountains of the groups IV~ VI classified according to the altitude. As a result of analyzing the relations among type pattern, slope, and relief, specific geomorphons are concentrated at $10^{\circ}$ and $20^{\circ}$ and it shows the possibility to classify the mountainous areas into two groups based on the result that the distribution of landform patterns are bimodal in the relation to the amount of relief.

This study tried to reveal distribution of incision rate and the factors from fluvial terrace deposits on the western and eastern slopes in the Middle Sobaek Mountain Range, using OSL age dating and topographical analysis. An average incision rate of 0.220 m/ka was estimated in the western slope streams, while the streams on the eastern slope showed a lower average incision rate of 0.121 m/ka. These results seem to indicate that the study area experienced an asymmetric uplift. Patterns of incision rate in the study area were different from those in the Northern Sobaek Mountain Range, probably suggesting that the Sobaek Mountain Range experienced spatially different uplift patterns. Among the factors, which were considered to influence on distribution of incision rate in the study area (e.g., altitude of sampling point, distance from divide, distance from axis, channel width, and bedrock type), distance from axis showed the strongest relationship with incision rate. Therefore, uplift is thought to be the most significant factor in distribution of incision rate in the Middle Sobaek Mountain Range.

In Korea, 64% of the land is known as mountain area, but the definition and classification standard of mountain are not clear. Demand for utilization and development of mountain area is increasing. In this situation, the unclear definition and scope of the mountain area can lead to the destruction of the mountain and the increase of disasters due to indiscreet permission of forestland use conversion. Therefore, this study analyzed the variables and criteria that can extract the mountain boundaries through the questionnaire survey and the terrain analysis. We developed a mountain boundary extraction algorithm that can classify topographic mountain by using selected variables. As a result, 72.1% of the total land was analyzed as mountain area. For the three catchment areas with different mountain area ratio, we compared the results with the existing data such as forestland map and cadastral map. We confirmed the differences in boundary and distribution of mountain. In a catchment area with predominantly mountainous area, the algorithmbased mountain classification results were judged to be wider than the mountain or forest of the two maps. On the other hand, in the basin where the non-mountainous region predominated, algorithm-based results yielded a lower mountain area ratio than the other two maps. In the two maps, we was able to confirm the distribution of fragmented mountains. However, these areas were classified as non-mountain areas in algorithm-based results. We concluded that this result occurred because of the algorithm, so it is necessary to refine and elaborate the algorithm afterward. Nevertheless, this algorithm can analyze the topographic variables and the optimal value by watershed that can distinguish the mountain area. The results of this study are significant in that the mountain boundaries were extracted considering the characteristics of different mountain topography by region. This study will help establish policies for stable mountain management.

Soil carbon(C) is an essential property for characterizing soil quality. Understanding spatial patterns of soil C is particularly limited for mountain areas. This study aims to predict the spatial pattern of soil C using terrain analysis in a steep mountainous area. Specifically, model performances and prediction uncertainties were investigated based on the number of resampling repetitions. Further, important predictors for soil C were also identified. Finally, the spatial distribution of uncertainty was analyzed. A total of 91 soil samples were collected via conditioned latin hypercube sampling and a digital soil C map was developed using support vector regression which is one of the powerful machine learning methods. Results showed that there were no distinct differences of model performances depending on the number of repetitions except for 10-fold cross validation. For soil C, elevation and surface curvature were selected as important predictors by recursive feature elimination. Soil C showed higher values in higher elevation and concave slopes. The spatial pattern of soil C might possibly reflect lateral movement of water and materials along the surface configuration of the study area. The higher values of uncertainty in higher elevation and concave slopes might be related to geomorphological characteristics of the research area and the sampling design. This study is believed to provide a better understanding of the relationship between geomorphology and soil C in the mountainous ecosystem.

The drainage area of the Miho stream is composed of granitic basins, gneissic and sedimentary mountains. 80 percent of the Miho stream flows through the Jincheon basin and the Cheongju inner-plain within the Daebo granite belt. Because the deep weathering of granitic hills provides a large amount of sands to the streams, there are wide floodplains with thick alluvium developed in the basin and plain. The thickness of the alluvium is 5~10m and the width of the floodplains is 2~2.5km. In the basin outlet area where a stream passes through the mountain canyon, wide floodplains and deep alluvium are developed in other riverside. The Miho stream is a sand-gravel channel flowing through the Cheongju inner-plain with wide floodplains and deep alluvium formed by deep weathering of granite.

실험지역으로 선정된 거제도와 남해도에 대해 Yamada(1999)의 산치차수구분을 시도해 보았으며, 그 결과를 바탕으로 산지차수구분을 남한 전 지역에 확대·적용하였다. 남한 지역의 최고 산지차수는 5차수였는데, 설악·태백산지, 지리·덕유산지, 영남알프스산지 모두 3곳으로 확인되었다. 4차수 산지는 10곳, 3차수 산지는 87곳에 나타난다. 5차수 산지는 대략 한반도의 융기축과 관련이 있는 것으로 판단되며, 4차수와 3차수 산지의 분포는 2차산맥과 같은 북동-남서의 방향성을 지니고 있다. 한편 하천차수법칙과 마찬가지로 차수별 산지 개수, 면적, 비고의 로그함수 값이 차수에 대해 선형관계를 이루고 있다. 차수별로 구분된 산지 중에서 기존의 산맥체계에서 고려하지 않은 산체들을 확인할 수 있었는데, 이들은 한반도의 지체구조를 보다 자세하게 이해하는 근거로 활용될 수 있다. 국립공원 및 도립공원은 대부분 5, 4, 3차수 산지에 분포하고 있다. 특히 속리산국립공원이 남한 지역의 대표적인 두 산체인 지리·덕유산지와 설악·태백산지를 연결하는 생태축의 중요한 연결고리 역할을 하고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 산치차수구분법이 지니고 있는 지형학적 의미뿐만 아니라 실용적 가치를 시사해준다.

This study tried to reveal incision rate distribution of streams on the northern part of the Sobaek Mountain Range with OSL age dating and geomorphic analysis, and factors influencing on the distribution were also discussed. With results from the previous studies, a total of 10 sites from 7 streams in the study area showed the rates ranging from 0.220 m/ka to 0.297 m/ka. Namhan-gang and Geum-cheon indicated the highest and lowest rates, respectively. Both sides in the northern section in the study area showed similar rates, while the western side in the middle section and the eastern side in the southern section showed higher rates than the other sides. Higher rates were also found from the eastern and northern sides where the Range runs N-S and E-W directions, respectively. Certain relationships with altitude and distance from the divide can be recognized from the rates and may be attributed to active incision with altitude and location of the uplift axis near the present divide. The rates on granite and sedimentary rock were higher than those on metamorphic rock, indicating that bedrock type is one of the important factors influencing on stream incision. Tectonic movement seemed to play some roles in the rates, because areas with lineaments showed lower rates. This study suggests that incision rate distribution of streams on the northern part of the Sobaek Mountain Range reflects various local geomorphic and geologic conditions.

This study intended to analyze the spatial distribution of two types of weeding song (Short Bang-a and Sangsa ryu) and how geomorphic elements influence the propagation of the songs in Chungcheongbuk-do area. The distribution of the two types of song was mapped as point data. According to the result, both types showed similar distribution pattern. In order to figure out the reason of this similarity, the distribution pattern of songs was analyzed at various scales based on geomorphic elements including river, mountain and lineament. The result showed that most of distribution pattern of songs followed the lineament direction. Also, the spatial continuity among mountain that was formed by large and small lineament in various directions could be the path of the cultural diffusion. If the lineament with same direction does not intersect other lineament that have different direction, spatial continuity would be blocked. Consequently it was confirmed that propagation of songs has not spread smoothly.
