Abstract

National parks require conservation of the sound environment in order to secure the environment and habitat quality. However, many national parks in Korea are exposed to various noise sources such as roads, airplanes, and cities. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the sound environment in order to preserve the habitat and the environment of national parks. The purpose of this study is to establish management plan through analysis of noise and sound environment for Taebaeksan National park. The noise map modeling result of Taebaeksan National Park showed 91.5% of the total area less than 40dB (A). As a result of aircraft noise analysis, daily average aircraft noise frequency was 54 times and 16 times per hour. Airplane noises occurred on Monday and Friday by day of the week. As a result of soundscape mapping, the frequency of the biophony such as various birds and insects was high in the valley. High altitudes were less frequent in wild animals. For the noise management of Taebaeksan National Park, it was considered necessary to manage aircraft noise and road noise.
