붉은배새매($Accipiter$$soloensis$)는 국내에서 가장 흔히 번식하는 맹금류에 해당함에도 불구하고, 이 종의 번식기 공간이용에 대한 정보는 부족한 실정이다. 붉은배새매의 번식기 세력권과 행동권을 파악하기 위하여 국내에서 번식하는 6쌍(2005년 4쌍, 2006년 2쌍)의 수컷을 6월부터 7월까지 관찰하였다. 이를 통해 수컷이 3회 이상 반복적으로 이용하는 주요 지점과 명확한 세력권 방어 행동을 보이는 지점을 확인하고, 이를 GIS 프로그램으로 분석하였다. 확인된 $25.2{\pm}5.3$개 지점을 중심으로 100% 최소다각형법(minimum convex polygon)을 이용하여 분석한 결과, 붉은배새매의 번식기 세력권은 $4.62{\pm}0.90$ ha, 행동권은 $22.57{\pm}5.12$ ha에 해당하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 확인된 붉은배새매의 세력권과 행동권은 비록 기존에 보고된 값보다 넓었으나, 전체 번식기에 걸쳐 이용하는 절대적인 공간 규모가 여전히 작다는 점을 보여준다. 이는 붉은배새매가 먹이를 제공할 수 있는 좁은 서식지, 특히 0.6-2.0 ha에 불과한 논에서 발생할 수 있는 환경 변화나 자원 고갈에도 상당히 취약할 수 있다는 것을 의미한다. 본 연구는 관찰을 통한 세력권 추정에 해당하지만, 붉은배새매의 보전과 관리, 향후 연구를 위한 기초연구로서의 중요성이 있다고 판단된다.

The Chinese Sparrowhawk($Accipiter$$soloensis$) is the most common breeding raptor in Korea, but its spatial use in the breeding season has been poorly documented. Therefore, to estimate the territory and home range sizes of breeding sparrowhawks, six territorial males(four in 2005 and two in 2006) were observed from June to July in Gyeonggi Province, the Republic of Korea. Main perches, which were used repeatedly(more than three times) or where apparent territorial behaviors were observed, were identified and the locations were analyzed by GIS software. According to the 100% Minimum Convex Polygons which were identified from $25.2{\pm}5.3$ perches, Chinese Sparrowhawks occupied $4.62{\pm}0.90$ ha for breeding territories and used $22.57{\pm}5.12$ ha for their home ranges. These estimates showed larger spatially occupied areas than those in one previous report, but this study suggests that Chinese Sparrowhawks intensively use small areas throughout the breeding season. This result also implies that the sparrowhawks have the potential to be significantly affected by any habitat changes and resource exploitation in the small areas(particularly in small rice paddies of 0.6-2.0 ha) which they largely rely on for food. Although this study was based on observations solely for territory size estimations, this study may be worthwhile as preliminary pilot research for Chinese Sparrowhawk conservation, management, and further studies.

In particular, raptors, as top predators in many natural and disturbed ecosystems, have become an animal group of conservational interest, and the spatial behavior of raptors has been understood to have implications for their conservation as well as for the understanding of their ecological characteristics. Therefore, in this preliminary study, we estimate the territory and home range sizes of Chinese Sparrowhawks through direct observation to understand their space use, and discuss the implications of the results for their conservation in the Republic of Korea.

, 2006). Observation-area curves(mean MCP area by the number of locations) were plotted from 500 bootstrap re-sampling estimates, and the definition of an asymptote(each additional observation will produce less than a 1% increase in the area) was used to calculate the MCP territory sizes(Odum and Kuenzler, 1955).
However, this study showed that 19 perches may produce a reliable territory size in many cases(five of six). This study was based on observations solely for territory size estimates, and we might cause several types of biases(i.e. lower vision-based detectability in forested areas) in the space use estimation of the sparrowhawks. However, given that direct observation is the most basic but effective method to understand spatial behaviors of animals(Kernohan et al.
The traditional method used to determine the size of the territory(defended area) or home range(in case the area is not defended) has been to plot the location of the male or the pair directly on a map(Odum and Kuenzler, 1955). To estimate the territory and home range sizes of breeding Chinese Sparrowhawks in this study, we observed territorial males, plotted the locations of males on maps, and searched for nests and main perching sites throughout the breeding season from June to July. In particular, main perches such as electricity poles and tall trees were identified, which were used repeatedly(more than three times) or where apparent territorial behaviors were observed.

, 2006), the breeding density of the Chinese Sparrowhawk was initially estimated in 2005 and 2006 at Musu-ri(N 37° 26'∼28', E 127° 16'∼17') which is under the administrative jurisdiction of Gwangju City in Gyeonggi Province, the Republic of Korea(Figure 1). The study area at Musu-ri is located in a small valley with villages, streams, rice paddies, and secondary forests. This area is in the vicinity of the Gyeongan River(Gyeongancheon), and many pairs of the Chinese Sparrowhawk breed here annually at a high density.

However, given that direct observation is the most basic but effective method to understand spatial behaviors of animals(Kernohan et al., 2001), this study may be valuable as preliminary pilot research for Chinese Sparrowhawk conservation, management, and for further studies using advanced techniques like radio-telemetry.
