산림과학원, 15년간 성묘객 산불 182건 분석…경상·경기 집중

Quick Look

국립산림과학원이 2011년부터 2025년까지 성묘객으로 인한 산불 182건을 분석한 결과, 약 80%가 추석 3주 전부터 연휴 사이에 발생했으며, 고위험 지역은 경상·경기 지역에 집중된 것으로 나타났다.

Why It Matters

국립산림과학원은 성묘객으로 인한 산불 발생 패턴을 분석하기 위해 2011년부터 2025년까지 15년간의 데이터를 조사했다.

국립산림과학원은 추석 3주 전부터 성묘객으로 인한 산불 발생이 뚜렷하게 증가하는 것으로 나타났다고 7일 밝혔다.

산림과학원이 최근 15년간(2011∼2025년) 발생한 성묘객 산불 182건을 분석한 결과, 성묘객 산불의 약 80%가 추석 3주 전부터 추석 연휴 사이에 집중됐다.

시기별로는 추석 14∼21일 전 발생 건수가 6건으로 가장 많았고, 추석 1∼7일 전이 5건으로 뒤를 이었다.

설·청명·한식·추석 등 4대 명절 전체를 분석했을 때는 명절 1∼7일 전 발생 건수가 42건으로 가장 많았고, 명절 연휴 기간(35건), 명절 8∼14일 전(24건) 순으로 나타났다.

추석의 경우 사전 벌초 등으로 성묘객 방문 시기가 다른 명절보다 일찍 시작되기 때문으로 풀이된다.

이와 함께 묘지 위치와 성묘객 산불 발생 지점의 공간정보를 분석한 결과, 묘지 밀도가 높고 묘지와의 거리가 가까울수록 산불 발생 확률이 높았다.

특히 성묘객 산불 발생 확률이 0.5를 초과하는 고위험 지역은 경상·경기 지역에 다수 분포한 것으로 확인됐다. 대표적 고위험 지역으로는 경북 안동시, 경남 합천군, 경기 포천시 등이 꼽혔다.

산불연구과 안수정 연구사는 "추석 전 3주간은 성묘객 산불 위험이 특히 높은 시기인 만큼 고위험 시·군을 중심으로 산불 감시를 강화해야 한다"며 "벌초나 성묘 시 화기 사용을 삼가고 산불 예방에 각별히 주의해 달라"고 당부했다.

What to Watch

AI outlook — possibilities, not facts

  • 추석 3주 전부터 성묘객 산불 위험이 증가함에 따라 고위험 시·군을 중심으로 산불 감시가 강화될 것이다.

Korea Forest Service newly designates 170 ha of national and private forests in Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do as a Forest Genetic Resources Protection Area

The Korea Forest Service announced that it has newly designated a total of 170 ha, including 147 ha of national forest and 23 ha of private forest in Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do, as a forest genetic resource protection area. This designation creates a continuous protected space of approximately 9,300 ha, which is larger than Naejangsan National Park and Bukhansan National Park. The Korea Forest Service plans to designate and manage protected areas in consideration of their ecological value and connectivity to protected areas, and increase connectivity to protected areas by linking them with major forest ecological axes such as the Baekdudaegan Mountain Range.
