  • Infection Properties of Oak Wilt Disease in Bukhansan National Park Adjacent to Metropolitan Areas in Korea
    Journal of Environmental Science International pISSN: 1225-4517 eISSN: 2287-3503 26(7); 803~815; July 2017 https://doi.org/10.5322/JESI.2017.26.7.803 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Infection Properties of Oak Wilt Disease in Bukhansan National Park Adjacent to Metropolitan Areas in Korea Jin-Woo Choi, Jung-Hun Yeum1)* Environmental Ecosystem Research Foundation, Seoul 05643, Korea 1)National Wetlands Center, National Institute of Environmental Research, Changnyeong 50303, Korea Abstract In this study of the oak wilt disease that has occurred in a large scale in a protected area located near South Korea’s metropolitan region, a detailed analysis has been conducted on the terrain, species and Diameters at Breast Height (DBH) of infected trees to identify the distribution of infection properties in the affected area. Taking into consideration the distribution of oak tree vegetation, a total of 4,640 quadrats in a size of 10 m by 10 m, have been set; and oak tree species, the DBH and infection damage per quadrat have been investigated. Geological properties have been analyzed according to elevation, slope, aspect and micro topography while a weighted value has been given according to the degree of infection in order to calculate an infection index. Through correlation analysis, the infection ratio of seriously-damaged and withered trees and the infection index have been analyzed with regards to the geological properties, tree species and DBH. The analysis shows that the disease tends to affect an area with medium elevation rather than those in the highest or lowest areas and that serious damage has been observed at rugged spots with a steep gradient (more than 30°).

When visitors find a flower or part of plant in the park, visitors can search for its name utilizing the pictures and characters provided in their own smartphone mobile devices or tablet PCs. The application provides pictures of wildflowers in the park and character-based searching system based on 12 diagnostic features (e.g., growth form, leaf arrangement, flower symmetry, petal color, petal number, sepal number, etc). We adopted the complete floristic survey of Chung and Lee (1962) and added species that we confirmed their distribution in the park during the development of this application.

  • Interpretive Systems Planning Model Building for Emerging Countries: a Stakeholder-Based Needs Assessment Study, National Interpreters Workshop Proceedings
    DEVELOPING AN INTERPRETIVE PLANNING MODEL FOR A NATIONAL PARK SYSTEM: A STAKEHOLDER-BASED NEEDS ASSESSMENT STUDY FOR KOREA DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kye Joong Cho. M.A., M.S. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. Gary W. Mullins, Adviser Dr. Rosanne W. Fortner ____________________________ Adviser Dr. Robert A. Agunga School of Natural Resources ABSTRACT The focus of interpretive planning in Korean Naitonal Parks presented herein addresses, but extends beyond, stakeholders’ wants and needs (SWAN). Parks, whether natural, cultural, or historical, have resource-dependent criteria or Resource Protection Criteria (RPC), such as maintenance of biological diversity, that must be recognized and protected. Likewise parks are established, governed, and managed by a set of enabling legislation/laws, policies, and guidelines. These are referred to here as Park Management Criteria (PMC). It is in the triangulation and interplay of stakeholders’ wants and needs (SWAN), RPC, and PMC that inform the interpretive planning process. Each of these three is very much dependent on the park resources, political context, and stakeholders involved. Actual plans will vary with the data obtained. Data presented in this study were collected to illustrate types of data that can inform the process; they are not intended to explain. The research reported herein addresses developing an interpretive planning model for national parks based comprehensive data rather than solely upon expert opinion. The stakeholder (SWAN) data are triangulated with Resource Protection Criteria (RPC) and Park Management Criteria (PMC) to inform the interpretive planning process.
