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.
