Abstract

Ecological networks can be generally classified into core areas, buffer zones, and corridors. Particularly, buffer zones connect core areas or ecological corridors, and preserve ecological network by reducing the impact from outside. We examined related laws and researches about buffer zone establishment associated with the resources of high ecological and conservation value to find out more researches are needed. In this study, we investigated various examples of the criteria for establishing buffer zones at domestic and overseas. Based on the results of railway environmental impact assessment and railway construction guidelines, we analyzed the application methods applicable to the railway development area and proposed the criteria to evaluate land cover status, species diversity, rarity, and connectivity. Through this study, the environmental and ecological value around the development area of the railroad was examined to reduce the environmental damage from railroad construction.

생태네트워크는 일반적으로 핵심지역, 완충지역, 코리더 등으로 구분될 수 있으며, 특히 핵심지역이나 생태적 코리더를 연결하기 위한 완충지역은 생태 네트워크의 지속성을 보호하고 외부로부터의 충격을 완충시키는 역할을 한다. 생태적 가치 및 보호적 가치가 높은 자원과 관련된 완충지역 설정에 대한 연구 및 관련법 등을 검토한 결과, 완충지역 설정에 대한 구체적인 연구가 더 필요한 것으로 생각된다. 본 연구에서는 국내외 완충지역을 설정하기 위한 기준을 제시한 다양한 분야의 사례를 조사하고, 철도환경영향평가 결과서 및 철도건설지침을 기준으로 철도개발지에 적용할 수 있는 활용방안을 분석하여 이를 평가하기 위한 항목으로 토지피복현황, 종다양성, 희귀성, 연계성을 제안하였다. 이를 통해 철도개발지 주변의 환경생태적 가치를 검토하여 철도 건설로 인한 환경 훼손 등 영향을 저감하고자 하였다.
