Abstract

With the establishment of geoparks, the interest in geological heritages has been increased in Korea. Accordingly, the annual investigation of geological heritages has been carried out, beginning in the capital area and subsequently, in the Chungcheong, Jeolla, and Gyeongbuk provinces. In this study, we developed geological heritage sites in the Gyeongbuk Province, with conducting a series of tasks including a basic literature review, a value assessment of the relevant geological heritages using a field survey, a grading of the geological heritages, and a database construction. In the Gyeongbuk Province, three areas have been already designated as geoparks: the Cheongsong Global Geopark, the Ulleungdo and Dokdo National Geopark, and the Gyeongbuk East Coast National Geopark. Therefore, the evaluation and grading processes were also performed on the existing geological heritage sites of three geoparks. Based on the literature review, a total of 385 geological heritage sites in the Gyeongbuk Province were selected in this study, and a total of 157 geological heritage sites were investigated by means of field survey. The heritage sites in the study area can be subdivided into three types: 87 geological heritage sites, 41 geomorphological heritage sites, and 29 geological and geomorphological heritage sites. There are 5 heritages of class I, 55 heritages of class II, 58 heritages of class III, 32 heritages of class IV, and 8 heritages of class V. In comparison with the results of the Chungcheong and Jeolla regions, the results in this study show the decrease of class I heritages and the increase of class II and III heritages in the Gyeongbuk Province. This implies that the evaluation and grading processes of geological heritages are more objective and reasonable with time. In addition, we think that 'Andong and Uiseong' and 'Mungyeong and Sangju' areas can be the candidates of potential national geoparks based on the results in this study. Since the largest number of geoparks already have been certificated in the Gyeongbuk Province, however, the systematic preparation process is needed for the certification of new geoparks in this area.

지질공원이 활성화 되면서 지질유산에 대한 관심이 증가하였고, 이에 수도권을 시작으로 충청권, 전라권, 경북권 순으로 연차적인 지질유산 발굴을 진행하였다. 이번 연구에서는 경북권 지질유산에 대한 발굴이 수행되었고, 기초문헌조사를 시작으로 야외조사를 통한 가치평가표 작성 및 지질유산의 등급화, DB구축까지 일련의 작업이 진행되었다. 경북권은 청송세계지질공원과 울릉도 독도 국가지질공원, 경북동해안권 국가지질공원 등 3지역이 지질공원으로 선정되어있다. 따라서 기존 국가지질공원의 지질유산들도 가치평가와 등급화를 수행하였다. 경북권에서는 문헌조사를 통해 총 385개의 지질유산 조사 후보지를 선정하였고, 야외조사를 통하여 총 157개의 지질유산을 발굴하였다. 발굴된 지질유산을 유형별로 살펴보면, 지질학적 유산이 87개로 가장 많았으며, 지형학적 유산 41개와 지질 지형학적 유산 29개가 각각 발굴되었다. 등급별로는 I등급 5개, II등급 55개, III등급 58개, IV등급 32개, V등급 8개소가 각각 발굴되었다. 경북권의 결과를 기존 충청권과 전라권 지질유산과 비교하면, 전체적으로 I등급의 개수가 줄어든 반면, II등급과 III등급은 증가하는 경향을 보인다. 이는 연차적으로 사업이 진행되는 과정에서 지질유산의 가치평가와 등급화 과정이 더욱 객관적이고 합리적으로 수행되고 있음을 보여준다. 또한, 경북권 지질유산 발굴을 통하여 지질공원 유망 후보지를 제안하자면, '안동 의성'과 '문경 상주'를 추천할 수 있으나, 경북권은 현재 가장 많은 국가지질공원이 인증되어 운영되고 있는 지역이므로 보다 체계적인 준비과정을 통한 지질공원 인증 추진이 필요하다.
