The Characteristics of geomorphological environment and major landscape resources of the Jinju area

The purpose of this study is to identify the characteristics of the geomorphological environment in the Jinju area, select major landscape resources based on this, and establish a foundation for educational and tourism use. To this end, DEM analysis, elevation analysis, visibility analysis, and school song analysis were conducted. The geomorphological lineament in the NNE-SSW direction is very distinct in the Jinju area, and the east-west series linear structure has a low continuity compared to the north-south series, but is very frequent. The geological distribution of the Jinju area is similar to the geomorphological lineament, showing that the sedimentary rocks are distributed in the NNE-SSW direction. The Jinju area is most predominantly located at an altitude of 50-100m, and the Jinju Formation shows the highest ratio at 0-150m. The topography of the Jinju area is mostly composed of low hills with an altitude of less than 200m and valleys between them. The mountain landscape resources are Jirisan, Jinsan(鎭山) Bibongsan and Ansan (案山) Mangjinsan, Mangjinsan and Gwangjesan beacon mounds, and the independent hill where Jinju Castle is located. The landscape resources related to the river landforms include the river cliffs developed on the attack slopes of the meandering channel, the bamboo forests along the Namgang, the Namgang Dam and the water gate, the Sacheon spillway, and wetland formed by sand-gravel bars and river islands.
