The number of mountain climbers increases as leisure time expands and the awareness of public health is promoted. However, thanks to physiographic features and carelessness of mountain climbers, the rate of accidents on the mountains also increases. When urgent accidents occur on the mountains, helicopters are usually used for the emergencies adjusting to the difficult access. The objective of this study is to analyze the spots for helicopter to land and take off when accidents occur on the mountains by using GPS to support decision-making for emergency saving system. The target area for this study was limited to Pucheon, Gyeonggi-do, in Korea. The spots for saving were classified into two such as landing spots and take-off spots for helicopter to respond to the emergencies on the practical site. Digital map, forest type map, and forest soils map were used as fundamental data. This study was performed excluding factors such as direction of the wind, speed of the wind, etc. In the future, associated with DB from the Meteorological Administration, more efficient analysis will be required.
