산림은 목재와 산채의 생산과 같은 물질생산의 기능이 있는 동시에 탄소를 고정하고 산소를 배출하는 광합성작용을 통하여 대기를 정화하며 지표토양의 침식을 방지한다. 또한 산림은 여러가지 동식물의 서식처로서 생물다양성을 보존하는 데 대단히 중요한 역할을 하는 동시에 도시민에게 휴식처를 제공하기도 한다. 이러한 산림의 다양한 기능 가운데 그 가치가 공식적으로 인정이 되고 있는 것은 목재나 약재와 같이 시장에서 유통되는 임산물의 생산기능에 제한되고 있어 산림자원의 효율적인 이용과 관리를 어렵게 하고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여서는 산림이 지니고 있는 환경보전기능에 대한 평가가 이루어져야 한다. 이 논문에서는 최근 서구 제국에서 진행되고 있는 산림의 환경보전적 가치의 평가에 관한 연구 추이를 살펴보고 이러한 산림의 환경보전적기능의 평가를 뒷받침할 수 있는 이론적 체계를 정립하고자 하였다. 환경자원평가 방법을 산림의 환경보전가치 평가에 적용할 수 있는가를 검토하였으며, 적용장의 문제점을 살펴보았다. 산림의 환경보전적 가치를 평가하고자 할 경우에는 대부분의 경우에 있어서 생산함수법을 우선적으로 사용하고, 이 방법의 적용이 불가능할 경우 가계생산함수법과 실험시장법은 보완적으로 사용하는 것이 바람직하다고 생각된다.

Amid the recent intensification of climate change, the decline of subalpine coniferous species is evident. Accordingly, the Korea Forest Service is conducting research to establish conservation measures, identify the causes of the decline of subalpine coniferous species, and establish conservation strategies for seven species of conifers in the alpine region. This study used an economic value evaluation method to present objective data to inform the need for and value of conservation of endangered coniferous species through the recognition of endangered coniferous species and evaluation of conservation value among coniferous species conservation strategies in endangered alpine areas. A contingent valuation method was applied. As a result, the estimated conservation value per household of endangered alpine coniferous species was 49,181 won.

종래의 개발은 양면성을 가지고 있다. 하나는 개발로 인한 경제적 효율성과 편리성 부분이고, 다른 하나는 그러한 개발로 인한 자연훼손 및 생태계 파괴이다. 이로 인해 개발과 보전은 양립할 수 없는 상반적인 개념으로 받아들여져 왔고, 개발론과 보전론의 대립적 구도가 지속되어 왔다. 우리나라는 국토의 65% 이상이 산지이기 때문에 산지의 부분적 개발은 피할 수 없는 사회적 요구인 동시에, 산지는 자연생태계의 보고로서 생태계 보전이 필수적인 지역이다. 이러한 산지 개발과 보전에 대한 상반적 이해를 통합하여 자연과 인간의 공생체계를 갖추기 위해서는 인간중심의 사고에서 탈피하여 사람과 생태계 그리고 자연을 하나로 보는 총체적인 측면에서 접근하는 새로운 패러다임이 설정되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 산지의 정량적인 가치를 평가하기 위해 시 공간적으로 다양한 인자들에 대해 시스템적인 관점에서 그 중요성을 고려하고자 하는 에머지 개념을 통해 산지 본래의 가치를 평가하였다. 에머지 개념은 그 동안 생태계가치평가, 개발사업의 편익-비용평가, 환경수용력 평가, 개발대안 평가, 환경계정, 환경훼손 소송관련 비용 평가 등에 적용되었다. 이러한 에머지 개념을 이용한 평가 방법을 통한 의사결정이 이루어지면 산지뿐만이 아닌 생태계의 지속가능한 이용을 실현하기 위한 적절한 정책의 선택과 이의 이행 실효성을 높일 수 있을 것으로 기대되며, 자연환경 가치의 정량적 평가를 통해서 우리는 한층 더 자연환경 및 자원의 다원적 기능에 대한 자각을 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

With the increasing concern about natural resources that is being devastated and lost its reproductivity, Non-use value of resources for future use is considered more important than the present use value in the resource valuation. This study aims to measure Total Non-use value in Namsan Park, Kwanak and Paldal Mountain with CVM(Contingent Valuation Method). CVM is the method which can evaluate Non-use value of tourism resource to find the future value of the given resource. This study is carried on the assumption that respondents give answers not to real situation but to imaginary circumstances. After analysing benefit value by estimating conservation value and separate use value, we can conclude that conservation value of tourism resource is given much weight.

As biodiversity and climate change have become main issues in recent times, the role of the forest ecosystem has been more important and forest conservation has been highlighted. The purpose of this study is to estimate forest area with high conservation values in Gapyung-gun by considering forest ecosystem services. The indicators of biodiversity, climate regulation, and water regulation were selected for assessment in this study. To assess biodiversity, habitat structural features and distribution characteristics of species were analyzed. Climate regulation and water regulation were assessed through analysis of carbon absorption volume and water storage. The result showed that, 50.1% of the forests in Gapyung-gun had high conservation values. The results were verified by comparing them with distribution tendencies of other environmental maps, which represent forest ecological values, and showed similar distribution tendencies. The study was conducted on only Gapyung-gun in Korea; however, the methods used in this study could be utilized for assessment of other areas to identify forests with high conservation values.

The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has established the Globally Important Agriculture Heritage Site in 2002, designating the Agricultural Heritages with global value, and carries forward conservation and management. In Korea, the Agricultural Heritage system was adopted to conserve and manage the valuable resources of agricultural space in 2012. Although, the interest in the Agricultural Heritage has been developed, the valuation standards for unique value of the Korea Agricultural Heritage has not been yet established, so discovery and designation of the Agricultural Heritage are at a standstill. Meanwhile, a study from the conceptual viewpoint of the Agricultural Heritage, resources investigation for discovery of the Agricultural Heritage, index development, and a study for conservation and management methods through sightseeing are focused, and a study for the valuation standards about the Korea Agricultural Heritage are not focused. Therefore, the study has analyzed a value of the Korea Agricultural Heritage, and suggested the standards of evaluation a value of the Agricultural Heritage rightly. This study suggested the valuation standards of the Korea Agricultural Heritage used in discovery and designation of the Agricultural Heritage, so prepared a base to conduct the valuation considering the characteristics of the Agricultural Heritage. Such standards will contribute to conservation and management of the Agricultural Heritage in the future.

The Korean government has been trying to conserve a marine ecosystem that has been shifting due to climate change. As part of this effort, the government designated seventy-seven marine species that have been disappearing and deserve to be protected as endangered managing them specially. To generate basic data to guide policy for these endangered species, their value must be measured. OOf the species declared endangered, coral is particularly threatened by climate change, and its management is important. Accordingly, understanding the potential value of reefs, can be an effective way of proving the benefits of continuous management to decision makers and the general public alike. To this end, we have applied the contingent valuation method (CVM), an economic technique of for valuing a environmental and non-market goods such as a coral reef. A national face-to-face survey of 1,000 randomly selected households was conducted in order to determine the public's willingness to pay (WTP) for conserving coral reefs. A one-and-one-half-bound (OOHB) model was adopted to interpret WTP responses, and a spike model was employed to deal with zero WTP responses. The results show that the conservation value of a coral reef can be estimated at 3,016 won per household per year, statistically significant at the 1 % level. Expanding values to the national population gives an annual value of 58.9 billion won. We can conclude that the public is willing to pay a significant amount to conserve coral reefs.

This aim of this study is to support the value criteria that citizen evaluate themselves it when they found modern heritages in their town. To understand the changing of value criteria for the cultural heritage, we have to begin from early 20 century that were, however, diversified after 80's. As a result, early they evaluated with the architectural and aesthetic value mainly, after they evaluated with the social-cultural value and academical value, and nowadays they try to include the economical value and educational value. So this study rearranged and divided that value with the preservation and using value. The preservation value include the historical value, aesthetic value, social-cultural value and academical value, and the using value include the economical value and educational value. The criteria, however, don't have the equal importance, This study try to redefine relative importance score with paired comparison. As a result, Historical value is proved that most important criteria, but aesthetic value got the score lower than social-cultural value, and similar with academical values. And in using values, economical value and educational value got the low score. It means that if some researcher insist about the importance of economical value, it should evaluate lower than preservation values. This study insist that we have to include diversified values and that values have relatives score. Actually, now we mostly evaluate with the architecture and aesthetic values about modern heritage, so we are losing a lot of modern heritage. If we include the diversified values, social-cultural, academical and educational value, we can conserve our important modern heritage and revitalizing town with tourism of historical heritage.
