The rapid urbanization in developing countries is accelerating both the depletion and fragmentation of urban green space, despite the known positive effects of green spaces on the environmental conditions in cities and the quality of life of residents. Consequently, there is a need for practical tools that can support the development of networks of urban green spaces. This article presents a study that used a GIS-based least cost path (LCP) analysis to identify the best alternative for developing an urban green space network in the coastal city of Jakarta, Indonesia, which was based on the evaluation of topography and land use characteristics. Pair-wise analysis was used to reduce the sensitivity in the LCP model. The results showed that the coastal wetlands in the northern part of Jakarta and the agricultural fields in the suburban areas of Jakarta play an important role in connecting the green space network. On the other hand, some green spaces in the central part of Jakarta could not be connected by the LCP model. The method used in this study can serve as a tool to support the identification of networks of potential urban green spaces. It can also provide useful information for sustainable urban landscape planning and management in urban ecosystems. However, the inclusion of socio-economic criteria would further improve the model.

The objective of this study was to delineate forest patches in the cities around the Geum-buk mountains at the north of the Geum River using multiplesatellite remote sensing data. Landsat visible and near-infrared satellite images obtained at multiple dates in the growing season were used to create a forest distribution map. Fragstats 3.3 was used to get the landscape indices delineating the distribution of forest patches. Additional ground truth data was used to assess the accuracy of the classification. Factor analysis was used to get the 26 landscape indices clustered into 4 factors. Factor I was labeled as' size of forest patches', factor II as 'fragmentation of forest patches', factor III as 'shape of forest patches', and factor IV as 'complexity of forest patches'. Factor I described large patches and their core area, while others did small patches and their shape and complexity. Cities including Cheonan, Gongju, Cheongyang, and Boryeong near the main ridge of the Geumbuk Mtns. had a small number of large-sized forest patches. However, cities including Taean, Seosan, Dangjin, Hongseong near the ridge of the western Geumbuk Mtns. had a large number of small-sized forest patches. Finally, this study showed that the region near the coast line in Chung-nam province has various types of forest patches having an irregular forest edge due to the elevation and slope lower than the one of the region far from the coast line which is near the ridge of the Geum-buk Mountains. Remote sensing data were useful to understand the distribution of forest patches, and landscape indices could be keys to delineate the relationship between forest patches. And the factor analysis, which simplified 26 landscape indices into 4 landscape patterns allowed us to understand the distribution and relationship of forest patches in an easy way.

Recently, habitat fragmentation and shrinkage has occurred because of increased road construction. As a measures mitigating the adverse effect such as eco-island by road construction, Korea has been installed eco-corridors since 1995. Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), this study analyzed the importance of assessment items and the criteria to determine which areas require eco-corridors the most. First, related literature reviews, preliminary surveys, and expert interviews were carried out to develop assessment items and criteria for constructing the hierarchy. Second, experts were surveyed in order to determine the relative importance of the assessment items by applying the AHP. As a result, it found that the restoration of the ecological network was the most important assessment item, followed by wild animal resources in the Level 3. In the Level 4, the eighteen items were ranked in the order of their relative weight and it was found that the 'Baekdudaegan Mountain Range (0.189)' was the highest ranked item. Therefore, this approach can be applied to effective selection of the priority areas in planning eco-corridors in the national scale.

유역 내 산림은 생태계 유지에 있어 중요한 역할을 맡고 있으며 생태네트워크 체계를 구성하는 주요 기반 환경이다. 그러나 지난 수십여 년간 행해진 무분별한 개발사업으로 인해 산림 파편화 및 토지이용 변화가 가속화되었으며 본래의 기능을 상실하게 되었다. 산림 생태계를 파악하는 데 있어 산림의 구조적 패턴은 생태적 과정과 기능에 직접적인 영향을 미치기 때문에 변화패턴을 파악하고 분석하는 것은 중요한 인자라 할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 금강 상류 댐 유역을 대상으로 FRAGSTATS 모델을 통해 시계열적인 토지피복변화에 따른 산림 경관의 구조적 변화를 분석하였다. 토지피복 변화탐지를 통한 금강 상류 댐 유역 내 토지피복변화는 1980년대부터 2010년대까지 산림 33.12km²(0.62%), 시가화건조지역 67.26km² (1.26%) 증가하였고 농업지역 148.25km²(2.79%) 감소하였다. 유역 내 산림 경관분석결과 No sampling 분석에서는 경관백분율(PLAND), 면적가중근접지수(CONTIG_AM), 평균 중심지 면적(CORE_MN), 인접지수(PLADJ)가 증가하였고 패치수(NP), 경관형태지수(LSI), 응집지수(COHESION)가 감소하였다. Moving window 분석을 통해 구조적 변화패턴을 파악한 결과, 경상북도 상주시, 충청북도 보은군, 전라북도 진안군 내 산림 경관은 상대적으로 잘 보전되어 있었으나 충청북도 옥천군, 영동군 그리고 충청남도 금산군 사이의 경계부와 전라북도 무주군과 장수군 인접 지역의 산림 경관에서는 파편화가 진행되고 있었다. 결과를 토대로 추후 해당 지역의 산림 관리전략 수립 시 파편화 지역을 대상으로 조림사업을 수립할 필요가 있을 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구를 통해 산림 경관의 파편화가 예상되는 지역을 도출할 수 있었으며, 유역 산림의 건전성 평가 및 관리계획 수립을 위한 기초자료로써 활용될 가능성을 기대할 수 있다.
