ABSTRACT

This study analyzed the natural environmental spatial distribution characteristics of Oreum, located in the mid-mountain area of Jeju Island by employing a likelihood ratio based on Bayesian probability. The result of the likelihood ratio did not display a clear correlation between the aspect, effective soil depth, geologic and Oreum. However, a high correlation was displayed with the elevation, slope, soil drainage, forest type, and land-cover. The result of ascertaining in the mid-mountain area based on thereon demonstrated that the greatest distribution is seen mostly at a elevation of 300-400m (33.8%). Eventually Oreum was highly distributed at the angle of 20-30° (48.3%) and with a South-Southeast direction (26.8%). Furthermore, the soil drainage level of Oreum was found to be well drained at 70.2% and the effective soil depth was highly distributed at 50-100cm (66.0%). In terms of forest type, the highest distribution of coniferous plantain (27.8%) and broad-leaved forest (24.0%) was seen in Oreum, and in terms of geological map was shown trachy-basalt (Ⅲ) of Quaternary (43.6%) is the highest distribution. Moreover, the land-cover of Oreum was highly distributed of forest areas (79.9%) and grass land (19.1%) individually. The likelihood ratio results to be calculated and would be used as basic data for analyzing the spatial distribution characteristics of Oreum using a GIS spatial integration model.
