국립공원 내 양서류 로드킬(Roadkill) 현황을 파악하기 위해 2006년부터 2008년까지 3년 동안 24개 노선을 대상으로 조사를 실시하였다. 그 결과 총 2목 5과 9종 1,748개체가 차량에 의해 로드킬 된 것으로 나타났으며, 년차별 비교결과 2006년에 비해 2007년, 2008년에 로드킬이 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 3월부터 6월 사이에 북방산개구리, 두꺼비, 물두꺼비가 집중적 피해를 입은 것으로 나타났으며 "산림-하천" 및 "산림-산림" 환경에서 교통사고가 집중 발생하였고, 덕유산국립공원 국도 37호선, 속리산국립공원 지방도 517호선, 오대산국립공원 국도 6호선, 월악산국립공원 지방도 597호선 등 총4개 노선에서 집중적으로 로드킬이 발생하였다. 따라서 이 지역의 주요 로드킬 대상종이 북방산개구리와 물두꺼비로 확인됨에 따라서 이들 종에 대한 저감대책 수립이 시급한 것으로 판단되었다.
The Monitoring System developed in this study was designed to help manage the recreational forests by gathering data on visitors' profiles and their opinions about recreational use and related facilities. This data could identify for changing situations in forest recreation demand as well as providing information on planning the management and use of the forest areas in advance.
The standardized questionnaire had contained visitor profiles, activities, distribution of use by area, distribution us by time, duration of the visit, expenditure of visitors and information on visitor satisfaction and motivation. Also, the questionnaire had included the evaluations visitors' perception of facilities in order to identify the importance and performance of the various facilities, such as recreational and educational facilities, accomodations, directional signs as well as infrastructure.
The monitoring system was developed in the object-oriented programming (OOP) environment. Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 for the program language, Microsoft Access, and Excel program were used to develop the system. The monitoring system was composed of data input, database, and data analysis system. Once data were put into data input system, it automatically transferred to database, and it eventually produced the results of statistical analysis with one step procedure.
This study was integrated with facilities and visitor monitoring system to identify the visitor impact at the recreational forests. In addition, this monitoring system would provide necessary and useful background information for management on recreational use of natural resources in a practical manner.
