A study on the establishment of control strategies based on the damage type of pine wilt disease

Although South Korea has been making great efforts to make pine wilt disease damage "manageable level", most local governments of the country are implementing pine wilt disease control (hereinafter referred to as 'the control') without establishing control strategies, basic plans, and basic designs.As a result, failure to properly estimate the amount of damage at the beginning of the control period caused cases in which the amount of damage exceeding the given budget could not be covered, and proper control and management methods for the damaged area were not applied, resulting in inefficient uses in the control budget.In this study, 26 previously established control strategies, basic plans, and basic design reports were analyzed to unify the terms and concepts of the affected areas designated by similar concepts into intensive control areas, general control areas, group damage areas, areas of concern for spread.And the purpose of control was divided into prevention of spread of damage and reduction of damage, and the priority of control was set accordingly.In addition, damage types were classified into minor, light, medium, severe, extreme areas and unaffected areas according to the degree of damage.Special damage areas were further classified into landscape sensitive areas, coastal forests and islands, damaged areas connected to adjacent cities and counties, forest fire-damaged areas, areas where control is not implemented, and protected areas such as cultural properties.And control and management methods suitable for each type were summarized and presented.As a result, it is intended to make it easier for local officials to apply the method to establish a control strategy suitable for the damage status without ordering services using experts.
