Areas around of National Park have been severed eco-corridor of wildlife due to urban expansion and development. Habitats have been fragmented into small pieces. Habitat fragmentation reduces the biodiversity of organisms because the exchange loss and inbreeding of wild fauna and flora. The main cause of the fragmentation of ecological networks in areas around of Moodeungsan National Park are are that the cemetery, cutting of mountain, roads, public parking lots, mountain encroachment by land, urban infrastructure, electric transmission towers, urban area. Area around of National Park must be equipped with ecological networks through an ecological design that can communicate with each other in the national park and urban areas.

설악산국립공원은 1965년에 천연보호구역, 1970년에 국립공원 제 5호, 1982년 유네스코에 의해 생물권보존지역으로 지정된 지역이다. 우리 나라 국립공원에서는 물론 다른 자연보존지역에서도 찾아볼 수 없는 중요성이 강조된 지역이나 연간 400만명의 이용객이 집중되기도 하는 지역이다. 우리 나라 국립공원은 본래 관광개발을 위해 지정된 동기를 갖고 있어 자연생태계 및 자연경관도 중요하지만 현실적으로는 합리적인 이용도 중요하다. 그러나 지금까지 국립공원은 자연보존에 대한 관리는 도외시 한 채 이용객 집중에 의해 발생되는 도로, 시설물, 건축물, 각종 오염에 대한 대책마련도 제대로 하지 못하여 국립공원하면 국민은 '등산이나 하고 값싼 음식점과 여인숙 수준의 숙박시설이 있는 관광지'정도로 인식하고 있다. 지난 30년간 압축고도성장을 해 온 우리 나라는 국토의 자연환경이 수없이 훼손되고 또한 옥외 레크레이션활동의 증가로 환경오염이 계속 증가되었다. 설악산국립공원도 예외는 아니어서 저앗ㅇ부와 등산로 주변생태계, 계곡생태계 등이 오염되어 식물, 포유동물, 물고기, 곤충 등에 영향이 나타나고 있지만 대피소, 휴게소, 숙박시설을 중심으로 한 오염행위는 계속 늘어만 가고 있다. 이제 설악산국립공원은 거의 위기상황에 도달된 느낌이다. 이런 시기에 환경생태학회 국립공원분과위원회 회원들은 `96년 외설악 지역, `97년 내설악지역을 2년 동안 각 분야에 걸쳐 조사를 수행하였다. 지난 12년간 외부의 지원도 없이 연구비를 자체 조달하여 힘들게 국립공원 연구를 진행하여 온 일환으로 설악산국립공원 조사를 2년 동안 수행한 것이다. 이번 조사는 `96년 가을 북한공비침투로 많은 지역에 대한 출입이 통제되어 외설악연구의 일부가 누락되었음을 첨언한다. 본 글에서는 2년 동안 본 회원들이 조사한 내용에 의해 설악산 국립공원의 현황을 분석하고 관리개선 방향을 제시하였다.

A total of 10 islands (Kumodo and Komundo in Yeosu City; Oinarodo in Goheung County; Chongsando, Soando, and Pogildo in Wando County; Chodo in Jindo County; Uido, Huksando, and Hongdo in Shinan County) were surveyed to confirm distribution of naturalized plants from June 2006 to December 2008. A total of 100 naturalized plants taxa from 25 families were recorded. The highest number of naturalized plant species (82 taxa) was recorded on Oinarodo, while the lowest number was recorded on Hongdo (42 taxa) and on Uido (34 taxa). A total of 26 naturalized species taxa (such as Dactylis glomerata, Lolium perenne, Bromus unioloides, Rumex obtusifolius, Chenopodium album, Phytolacca americana, Barbarea vulgaris, Lepidium apetalum, Robinia pseudo-acacia, Trifolium repens, Erigeron annuus, Erigeron canadensis, Senecio vulgaris, Xanthium strumarium) was recorded in all study areas. Distribution of naturalized plants were categorized into 7 habitat types based on ecological traits: afforested land, beach, port, and vacant land, road boundary, road cut and slope area, waste arable land, landfill area, and wetland. Systematic management is required to conserve unique landscape, species diversity, vegetation and ecosystem of Dadohae National Park. In order to manage the naturalized plants in Dadohae National Park, basic surveys are most needed to understand distribution and dispersal of naturalized plants communities based on ecological features of each habitat type.

The flora of the Chuwangsan National Park was surveyed. The field works was done for three times from February to October, 1994. The total number of vascular plants in this area were surveyed as 433 taxa ; 94 families, 260 genera, 365 species, 60 varieties, 2 subspecies, 5 formas, and 1 cultivars. The twenty seven taxa which were artificially planted could be found at the temple and abandoned cultivated areas. The population of Jeffersonia dubia Benth, one of the rare and endangered plants in Korea, were surveyed and mapped for an ecological monitorings in the future. Since this population is restrictly located in the vicinity of the mountain trails, the protection measures should be urgently needed in the future.

The flora of the Hallyo-Haesang National Park were surveyed from May to September, 1998. The flora of this park were listed as 117 families, 296 genus, 373 species, 53 varieties, 7 forms and 3 hybrid in the Namhae, 73 families, 129 genus, 153 species, 16 varieties and 2 forms in Karasan(Mountain), 97 families, 280 genus, 475 species, 53 varieties, 5 forms and 1 hybrid in the Tongyong. Construction of road, recreational facilities and ornamental farms were considered as the major causes of destruction of vegetation conservational measures must be applied urgently to conserve the distinct vegetation and flora of this areas.

계룡산국립공원의 관속식물상을 조사한결과 111과 346속 509종 69변종 10품종 1교잡종 총 589종으로 밝혀졌다. 대상지역은 식물구계지리학적으로 한반도 온대중부지역에 속하나 굴피나무, 감태나무, 사람주나무, 나도밤나무, 자귀나무, 대팻집나무, 비목나무, 정금나무 등 온대남부계 수종이 많은 서식하는 특징을 보여주었다. 대상지역의 특징적인 식물군락이나 희소적 가치가 있는 식물종은 동학사 주변의 느티나무군락과 삼볼봉 등산로 주변의 구실사리, 바위손군락와 정상부 능선에 서식하고 있는 피나무 등으로 이들에 대해서는 지속적인 관심과 보전이 필요하다. 이번 조사에서 미국자리공, 개망초 등이 등산로 주변으로 다수 출현하고 있으므로 귀화식물종에 대한 모니터링도 지속적으로 이루어져야 할 것으로 판단되었다.

This study is a survey on the general perceptions of the residents and visitors regarding the Nature Restoration Period in Chilsun Valley in Jirisan National park, and it was designed to establish systematic park management plan for the Special Protected Areas in Korean National Parks. This survey was conducted on the residents of five towns including Chuseong-ri, Gwangjum-dong, Uijung-ri, Uitan-ri and Uipyeong-ri, as well as visitors to Chilsun Valley by using convenience sampling. The result showed that those individuals or groups who responded to the survey were all positive about preservatory effect of Nature Restoration Period in the valley; however they also showed major perceptional differences as to the ways in which the nature restoration period managed. They also disagreed among themselves on the assessment of the extent of damage that could be generated due to the restoration, the appropriateness of the Nature Restoration Period as a management policy and maintenance of the policy in the future. The appropriateness as a policy and the extent of damage due to the Nature Restoration Period particularly showed some serious perceptional differences among five resident groups based on the location of their towns. To minimize current conflict and achieve the goal of Nature Restoration Period, the park management authorities need to communicate more actively with the stakeholders of the local community and NGOs, and secure their support and cooperation by accommodating their ideas and opinions to build a strategic partnership.

Visitor's impact on environmental deterioration of and around trail was studied in Hallasan National Park, Korea in 1990. Width of tread and width of bareland beside trail were correlative positively to user's density, negatively to height of vegetation and slope, respectively. Depth of tread was correlative highly to width of tread and width of bareland beside trail. Areal deterioration by visitors almost took place on subalpine zone. Total damaged area was kestimated to be 121, 000$m^2$ and the damaged area more severe than impact rating class 4 reached about 72.000$m^2$, respectively. Ten types of deterioration of and around trail were discovered and total volume of erosion to be recovered was estimated to be about 62.000$m^2$.
