The objective of the study is to examine the perception of the residents in the Civilian Control Zone (CCZ) and the competent local government officials for nature conservation and local development. A survey was conducted on 265 residents as well as 285 government officials from Paju and Yeoncheon Municipals. Both residents and officials perceived the value of biodiversity, natural ecosystem and landscape in the CCZ and seemed to have a sense of pride regarding it. However, they conceived that nature has not been conserved properly and residents in Yeoncheon showed more concern on this matter than residents in Paju. Overall, residents were more devoted to nature conservation or perceived the importance of accordance with nature conservation in local development, which implicates the sound foundation of perception and good prospect for sustainable development in CCZ. Owing to the difference in situation, there was a significant difference in perception between residents and officials. There is a possibility of conflict in Paju because residents desired more local development, whereas officials showed more purpose for nature conservation. In order to achieve simultaneously local development and nature conservation in CCZ, we should pay special attention to studies on living standards of local residents and scientific surveys on natural resources.

The purpose of this study was to classify the types of degraded areas of Mt. Jirisan section in Baekdudaegan and survey the actual condition of each damage type to use it as basic data for the direction of the restoration of damaged areas according to damage type based on the vegetation information of reference ecosystem. The analysis of the Mt. Jirisan section's actual degraded conditions showed that the total number of patches of degraded areas was 57, and the number of patches and size of degraded areas was higher at the low average altitude and gentle slope. Grasslands (deserted lands) and cultivated areas accounted for a high portion of the damage types, indicating that agricultural land use was a major damage factor. The survey on the conditions of 14 degraded areas showed that the types of damage were classified into the grassland, cultivated area, restoration area, logged-off land, and bare ground. The analysis of the degree of disturbance (the ratio of annual and biennial herb, urbanized index, and disturbance index) by each type showed that the simple single-layer vegetation structure mostly composed of the herbaceous and the degree of disturbance were high in the grassland and cultivated land. The double-layer vegetation structure appeared in the restoration area where the pine seedlings were planted, and the inflow of naturalized plants was especially high compared to other degraded areas due to disturbances caused by the restoration project and the nearby hiking trails. Although the inflow of naturalized plants was low because of high altitude in bare ground, the proportion of annual and biennial herb was high, indicating that all surveyed degraded areas were in early succession stages. The stand ordination by type of damage showed the restoration area on the I-axis, cultivated area, grassland, logged-off land, and bare ground in that order, indicating the arrangement by the damage type. Moreover, the stand ordination of the degraded areas and reference ecosystem based on floristic variation showed a clear difference in species composition. This study diagnosed the status of each damage type based on the reference ecosystem information according to the ecological restoration procedure and confirmed the difference in species composition between the diagnosis result and the reference ecosystem. These findings can be useful basic data for establishing the restoration goal and direction in the future.

The freshwater lakes located at the fringe of urban cities are a habitat for diverse organisms. However, they are facing severe danger of environment deterioration and water pollution caused by reckless development of the area. In this study, an ecological management plan was suggested to promote the biodiversity through appointing management area based on the research and analysis data of flora and fauna as well as maintain biodiversity and harmonize utilization of freshwater lakes such as Duryang Reservoir at Sacheon, Gyeongsangnam-do. Base on the data of ecological research and analysis, this study conducted research on biotope assessment, wild life habitat assessment and presence of protected species. As a result, the ecosystem conservation area including multi-layer structured natural forests, waterside and wetland that are home to various species and the edge area with high habitat diversity were recognized as highly preservable regions. Management areas were ecologically disturbed region, highly polluted commercial district and damaged waterside caused by fishing. Proactive management must be implemented through vegetation management such as vegetation transition and shrub planting as well as establishing pollutant management system. The deterioration of waterside and forest vegetation of freshwater lake has a direct influence on biodiversity and water quality. Therefore, the conservation area and development area should be totally separated from each other, and the development area must be restored and managed strictly.

The Boundary Region in Gyeonggi Province has environmental vulnerability due to the increasing development pressure although usually regarded as an ecologically well-preserved region. This paper is aimed to analyze the status of environmental loading on natural resources of the Boundary Region in Gyeonggi Province through investigating land-use conversion pattern during the past 15 years(1985-2000), the attitude of the local community towards conservation policy, and the status of environmental treatment facilities for water quality management. The results are as follows. Firstly, the development pressure has been focused upon the southwestern part of the Boundary Region in Gyeonggi Province such as Gimpo, Paju, Dongduocheon, and Yangju since 1995. Secondly, local residents' strong aversion exists towards the conservation policy led by the government because of their underdevelopment. Finally, the risk of environmental degradation is high because the region is not equipped with adequate environmental treatment facilities for water quality management. The status of environmental loading in the Boundary Region suggests the necessity to establish a well-designed management plan for natural resources in this area.

The Impact Mitigation Regulation was first introduced in Germany with an intention to avoid or reduce the natural ecology and landscape infringement as much as possible according to the development project. The system has is an advantage of being able to efficiently operate the linkage policy of land planning and environment planning to prevent the excessive development of the national land and to continue to manage it. This study applied the German natural impact mitigation system by revising and supplementing it according to the domestic situation with a biotope map of Juam-dong, Gwacheon City, as a case study area. Spatial analysis was conducted of biotope maps, landscape maps, and NDVI maps to suggest a plan to derive and preserve the areas excellent in an ecological and environmental value. It was confirmed the Impact Mitigation Regulation could be used as a policy link of the land-environment policy that minimizes the degree of the damage that cannot help occurring necessarily in the development of the national land and to manage that damage from the planning stage.
