dc.description.abstract | Due to COVID-19, more people are participating in outdoor activities like hiking. This study investigated the relationship between weather and hiking accidents at Bukhansan Mountain National Park, a Guinness World Record holder for the most visited national park per unit area. Data analyzed included the number of hikers, accident type, and weather information. Data were collected from the last three years. The results showed the highest number of people took up hiking in 2020 (3,394,413). Accidents were classified into six types: fall, personal disease, distress, attempted suicide, loss of footing (carelessness), and natural disasters. Lost footing caused the largest number of accidents (N=274 cases). For weather-related factors, accidents were more common when the temperature was between 16–28 ?, a humidity of 60–65%, and winds of 6–8 km/h, which are actually considered the ideal conditions for hiking. Therefore, public campaigns or educational information should communicate that ideal weather conditions are actually the most dangerous and risky for hiking accidents. Additionally, the management team and government should inform hikers through signs, course guides, and electronic displays installed in the park. Moreover, hikers should be cautious when hiking and be more aware of their surroundings and environment. | - |
