The management of national park has dual propensities in its purpose that it should consider providing maximum convenience for the park visitors through the medium of abundant natural and cultural resources and beautiful sceneries in one hand, but on the other hand, it should advance to prevent from the damage of natural resources owing to the excessive use of the limited resources and constantly maintain stabilized natural ecosystem and scenic beauty. To reach these contrary purposes at the same time, the management of national park requires complex aspects of knowledge and technologies, and flexibility to meet diverse changes of situations.
In this study, focused on the Geojeido-Haegumgang district of Hallyohaesang National Park, the researcher established GIS DB in the subjected area to manage the utilization areas within the national park and resulted in the outcomes shown below through the performance of overlay analysis, inclination/elevation analysis and three-dimensional scenery analysis etc.
First, as propose concrete management planes for the study area, which reflect local conditions maximally through the fundamental research and natural and ecological environment researches of Geojei-Haekumgang district, it is expected to contribute to establish policies and develop the Hallyohaesang National Park in the future.
Second, escaping from the existing simple administrative and fragmentary area management of national part, the study proposed differentiated, scientific and systematic national park management plans.
Thirdly, the boundaries of study areas are currently established only considering the number of houses within the national park or fragmental two-dimensional distances without considering the characteristics of the topography or environmental conditions. However, this study proposes more systematic and effective management method through GIS reiteration analysis and visibility range analysis.
Forth, as results of studying the inclination and elevation data, ecological nature map data, current status of buildings and currently established boundaries of study areas through the GIS overlay analysis, several irrational establishment cases of the boundaries of utilization areas are found and they need to be considered during the readjustment.
Fifth, as texture-mapping the TIN data and Landsat TM images to establish three-dimensional model, which considered the characteristics of topography, through the three-dimensional GIS technology, it is expected to analyze three-dimensional viewscape analysis, which is close to the reality, would be possible within the national park.
