Abstract

Forest in the our country is in the age that needs positive operation in order to foster economical forest. Multiple operations for making valuable forest should be conducted steadily and timely from afforestation to harvesting. In order to execute these kinds of forest operations, the construction of skid trail network that can be effectively used as a pathway for forestry machine and working space is necessary. To investigate facility effect of skid trail network, we executed the location of skid trail network through centroid method by GIS for 50ha of harvesting workplace in mechanized model forest located in Hongcheon, Gangwon Province. As a result of this research, skid trail density in this area changed from 79m/ha with current method to 42m/ha with improved method. It appeared that skid trail density with improved method is nearly half of current method even though the cutting area is the same as the current cutting area. Also, skidding distance changed from 117m with current method to 57m with improved method. It appears that skidding distance with improved method is nearly half of current method even though cutting area was enlarged in adjacent tending cutting area.

우리나라의 III영급과 IV영급의 산림면적은 총면적에 약 65%를 차지하고 있어 목재자원의 경제적인 조성 및 관리를 위해서는 가장 중요한 시기이다. 가치 있는 숲을 조성하기 위하여 조림, 숲가꾸기, 솎아베기(간벌), 임목수확작업 등 여러 작업들이 적기에 꾸준히 이루어져야 한다. 이러한 산림작업을 효율적으로 실행하기 위하여 기계 장비의 이동통로 및 작업공간으로 활용할 수 있는 임내도로망의 확충이 필요하다. 특히, 작업로는 작업자 및 작업장비 등이 작업지까지의 도달시간을 단축시켜 실작업시간을 증대시킴은 물론, 임목수집을 위한 집재거리를 단축시켜 효율적인 작업이 가능해지고, 이용구역이 확대되어 목재의 수집율을 증대시킬 수 있다. 적정 임내도로망을 배치하기 위하여 지형도, 임도망도, 작업구역도, 임소반도, 임상도 등의 기초자료를 이용하여 주요 통과점(중 소 집재장) 선정하고, 이들을 최단경로 연결하는 임내도로망 배치기술을 개발하였다. 또한 적정 임내도로망 배치방법의 적정성을 검토한 바, 벌채구역이 현행과 동일한 조건일 때 임내도로 밀도는 현행방법 79 m/ha인데 반하여 개선방법은 42 m/ha로 현행방법보다 1/2수준으로 설치하여도 두 방법 모두 수집가능재적 및 수집율은 각각 568 $m^3$, 100%로 차이가 없었다. 또한 벌채구역을 연접한 무육간벌 대상지로 확대한 경우에는 임내도로 밀도는 현행방법 34 m/ha, 개선방법 33 m/ha로 두 방법 모두 유사한 수준이었으나, 가중평균 집재거리는 현행방법은 117 m인데 반하여 개선방법은 57 m로 현행방법의 1/2수준으로 단축되었고, 수집량은 현행방법에 비하여 400 $m^3$ 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.
