Abstract
The 2025 wildfire in Uiseong, Gyeongbuk, exposed critical blind spots in cultural heritage protection, completely destroying numerous wooden architectural heritage sites and placing them at risk of delisting. This study examines five such sites in Gyeongbuk that were destroyed by the wildfire, analyzing their disaster preparedness and fire protection infrastructure in relation to geographical inaccessibility. The analysis revealed multiple vulnerabilities, including delayed fire response times, insufficient fire protection facilities, and exposure to high-risk forest environments. Furthermore, the fragmented institutional response manuals were found to be ineffective in addressing the realities of complex disaster situations in the field. Accordingly, this study emphasizes the importance of initial response and proposes a fire response checklist that reflects the unique characteristics of wooden architectural heritage, aiming to provide practical measures for strengthening disaster response capacity.

2025년 경북 의성 산불은 문화유산 보호의 사각지대를 드러내며 다수의 목조건축문화유산을 전소시켰고, 이로 인해 지정해제 위기가 발생하였다. 본 연구는 전소된 경북 지역 목조건축문화유산 5개소를 대상으로 지형적 난접근성에 따른 재난 대비 능력과 방재 인프라 현황을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 대상지는 소방 출동 지연, 방재 설비 부족, 산림 환경의 고위험 노출 등 복합적 취약성을 지니고 있었으며, 기관별 분리된 대응 매뉴얼은 실제 현장에서 효과적으로 작동하지 못하는 한계가 확인되었다. 이에 따라 본 연구는 초기 대응의 중요성을 강조하고, 목조건축문화유산의 특성을 반영한 화재 대응 체크리스트를 제시함으로써 실질적 대응력 강화를 위한 방안을 마련하고자 한다.
