We investigated habitat characteristics of a Korean endangered species, the flying squirrel Pteromys volans, in the Odaesan National Park (ONP) using GIS. GPS coordinates of the P. volanstraces and eleven environmental factors were used for the GIS analysis. According to our results, high traces of P. volanshave been found in coniferous forests with high density crown and more than 4th-age class with middle DBH. The traces were more frequently discovered in a little lower elevation (749m) than mean elevation (901.4m) of the ONP and a little lower steepness (18.2°) than average steepness (22.1°) of the ONP. The traces were more frequently found in range of 0-200m from stream and 0-400m from road and agricultural area, but infrequently in range of 0-400m from human residential area.
