초록

본 연구에서는 태백산국립공원 주요 탐방로 입구에 설치된 탐방객 자동 계수기 데이터를 이용하여 탐방로별 일간 탐방객수에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하고, 이를 바탕으로 탐방로를 유형화하였다. 일일 탐방객수를 종속변수로 다중회귀분석 실시한 결과, 개천절이나 눈축제 등 행사는 모든 탐방로의 탐방객수에 영향을 미쳐, 태백산국립공원의 일일 탐방객수를 결정하는 가장 큰 요인인 것으로 분석되었다. 3일 이상 휴일이 연속되는 연휴와 일반 공휴일도 대부분의 탐방로의 일일 탐방객수에 영향을 미쳤다. 강수량은 비산행 목적의 탐방객이 많은 탐방로의 탐방객수에는 부(-)의 영향을 미쳤으나, 산행 목적의 탐방객이 많은 탐방로의 탐방객수에는 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않아, 산행 목적 탐방객들은 날씨가 궂더라도 산행을 강행하는 것으로 나타났다. 기온은 산행 목적의 탐방객이 많은 탐방로의 탐방객수에는 정(+)의 영향을 미쳤으나, 눈축제가 열리는 당골광장 인근의 탐방로의 탐방객수에는 부(-)의 영향을 미쳐, 눈축제의 영향권인지 여부가 탐방로 관리에 결정적 요인이었다. K-mean clustering을 이용하여 18개 탐방로를 유형 분류한 결과, 태백산국립공원의 탐방로는 눈축제에 영향을 받는 유형(유형 1)과, 가까운 거리에 볼거리가 많아 비산행 탐방객이 많은 유형(유형 2), 그리고 산행을 목적으로 온 탐방객들이 대부분인 유형(유형 3)의 3개 유형을 분류할 수 있었다. 탐방로 유형별 탐방객 행태와 불법 행위 유형이 다르므로, 유형별 특성에 맞춰 탐방로 관리방안을 마련하여야 할 것이다.

This study built a model to predict the daily number of visitors to 18 trails in the Taebaeksan National Park using the auto-counter system data to analyze the factors affecting the daily number of visitors to each trail and classified the trails by visitors' behaviors. Results of the multiple regression models with the daily number of visitors of the 18 trails indicated that the events, such as the National Foundation Day celebration of Snow Festival, affected the number of visitors of all of the 18 trails and were the most critical factor that determined the daily number of visitors to the Taebaeksan National Park. The long-holidays of three days or longer and other national holidays also affected the daily number of visitors to the trails. Precipitation had a negative impact on the number of visitors of trails where the intention of most visitors was for sightseeing or camping instead of hiking, whereas had no significant impacts on the number of visitors of trails where many visitors intended for hiking. It indicated that visitors who intended for hiking went ahead hiking even if the weather was poor. The effects of temperature had a positive effect on the number of visitors who intended for hiking but a negative effect on the number of visitor to the trails near Danggol Plaza where the Snow Festival was held in each winter, suggesting that the impact of the Snow Festival was the deterministic factor for trail management. Results of K-mean clustering showed that the 18 trails of the Taekbaeksan National Park could be classified into three types: those affected by the Snow Festival (type 1), those that have sightseeing points and so were visited mostly by non-hikers (type 2), and those visited mostly by hikers (type 3). Since visitor behaviors and illegal actions differ according to the trail type, this study's results can be used to prepare a trail management plan based on the trail characteristics.
