The Eurasian otter(Lutra lutra) is listed as No. 330 in natural monument. To manage and conserve habitat for otters, it is critical to understand which habitat components are important for otters. The objectives of this study were to analyze otter habitat characteristics in accordance with land-cover map. We investigated otter spraints and sprainting site in Geoje Island from January to December, 2004. with GPS coordinates. The analysis of otter habitat use pattern was used by Arcview ver. 3.2 with 1: 25,000 Topology Map and field data. Otter habitat use was strongly related to sites in riparian vegetation riparian(dam or river) structures. In this study, Gucheon was a site with high coverage of riparian vegetation and unconfined channels, thus recording higher number of spraint densities than those of Yeonchocheon. Yeonchocheon was under construction at lower stream areas so that otter habitat use was limited. This study suggests that securing suitable forests and riparian vegetation zone is essential for conservation of otters.

The oriental stork (Ciconia boyciana) is listed as an endangered species internationally. Its resident population has been extirpated in South Korea since 1971. Its predicted historical habitat included forests (54%), rice paddy fields (28%), grasslands (17%), river-streams (less than 1%), and villages (less than 1%) based on pre-extirpation records in a previous study. However, habitat attributes of recently reintroduced oriental storks since 2015 remain unknown. To examine habitat use patterns and home ranges of recently reintroduced oriental storks, 2015-2017 tracking data of 17 individuals were used to analyze their spatial attributes with a Kernel Density Estimate method and breeding status. Their habitat use patterns from peripheral to core areas were highly associated with increasing rice paddy fields (26%) and decreasing forested areas (55%). Scale-dependent home ranges were 51% smaller for breeders than for non-breeders on average. Our study results highlight that the habitat use pattern of reintroduced oriental storks seems to be comparable to the historical pattern where the used area is likely to be more centralized for breeders than for non-breeders in South Korea. Furthermore, the direction of habitat management for oriental storks should focus on biodiversity improvement of rice paddy fields with chemical free cultivation and irrigation.

도로건설은 생물서식지를 단절시키고 고립시키는 등 생태환경 훼손이 우려되고 있으며, 도로건설에 따른 환경영향을 최소화하고 생물서식환경을 보존하기 위한 종합적인 평가기법의 개발 및 적용에 관한 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 자연생태계의 자연성뿐만 아니라 동물이 서식하는 생태계의 기능을 고려한 보전가치평가기법을 적용하여 이를 도면화 할 수 있는 서식처평가지도를 개발하고자 하였다. 서식처보전가치평가에 적용한 평가 항목은 크게 자연성, 희귀성, 기능성 항목의 3가지 항목으로 선정하였으며 이에 따른 세부평가항목을 구성하였다. GIS를 이용하여 평가기준에 따라 중요도에 대한 수치지도를 작성하였다. 연구결과 나타난 수치지도는 단순히 동물과 식물의 종 조성이나 분포에만 한정된 것이 아니라 서식처 보전을 위한 종합적인 생태계 평가기법이 가능함을 보여주었고, 이를 통하여 생태계 파괴 및 생물 서식처 단절을 최소화 한 환경친화적인 도로건설에 이용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The Jeongmaeks are Korea's unique forest space recognition system that diverged from the Baekdudaegan. The Jeongmaeks are easily exposed to pressure because it is adjacent to the living area. Among them, Nakdong-Jeongmaek has high biodiversity, but damage is accelerating. According to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in 2022, the target is to expand the area of terrestrial and marine protected areas to 30% of national territory by 2030. As of September 2023, the area of terrestrial protected areas in South Korea is only 16.97% of the country's territory. This is due in part to the high proportion of private forests in the region, which makes it difficult to establish protected areas. Therefore, there is a need to establish Other Effective Area-based Conservation Measure (OECMs), which pursue complex and effective conservation that considers multiple values, as an alternative to protected areas. This study aims to identify areas suitable for OECM and to provide opinions on the establishment of appropriate management plans for each value using SOM and InVEST Habitat Quality model. This study evaluated the habitat quality of 206 villages located within 1km of the Nakdong-Jeongmaek and compared the characteristics of villages classified by SOM. As a result, the habitat quality was 0.867 for Tourism village (ClusterIV), 0.838 for Conservation village (ClusterVI), 0.835 for Mixed village (ClusterI), 0.796 for Production (ClusterV), 0.731 for Rural village (ClusterIII) and 0.625 for Urban village (ClusterII). When the distribution was identified through statistical analysis, the Kruskal-Wallis test showed that the distributions were not identical, with a p-value of 1.53e-08. Dunn's test showed a difference between Tourism, Conservation and Rural, Urban village. However, Mixed village was overestimated due to the lack of villages and the small area included in the study area. Moreover, Conservation village was somewhat under-evaluated in the analysis due to the use of a single weight for protected areas. It is necessary to perform additional reinforcement of the value evaluation of Jeongmaeks by conducting Forest Resource Survey and the National Natural Environment Survey. Therefore, we believe that sufficient validity for the establishment of OECMs in the Nakdong-Jeongmaek can be provided by addressing these limitations and conducting additional research.

Hyla suweonensis is an endemic species and is designated as the only endangered species I among amphibians in 2012 by the Ministry of Environment, however studies about its habitat are lacking. This study was carried out to analyze habitat of H. suweonensis based on the spatial information using Maxent (Maximum entropy model as a species distribution model. We detected 45 present points until 2013 and 10 environmental variables by literature review for the model. The results showed that $429km^2$ (0.95%) of the study area, which was about 7.75% of the total agricultural area, was high possible habitats of H. suweonensis. The habitat of H. suweonensis was analyzed by over $1km^2$ rice paddy fields that were lower elevations, flat slopes, and not fragmented. The distance from forests and rivers was identified as a factor that affects its habitat possibilities. In order to conserve H. suweonensis, a large area of rice paddy fields should be preserved, and especially the area around forests and rivers would be required more intensive management. In addition, to compensate for degraded habitats of H. suweonensis in urban areas like as Suwon city, considering integrated watershed management strategy could be effective in the perspective of ecological habitat network of H. suweonensis.

Present green space planning of Korea pay little attention to biodiversity conservation in urban areas. The quality of urban wildlife habitat has been deteriorated severely due to fragmentation and isolation of urban open spaces. The application of ecological corridors to urban green space planning and management can greatly enhance the bird habitat of Seoul. The objectives of this study were to evaluate bird habitat potential of existing urban parks of Seoul, and to investigate methods to develop ecological corridors for wild birds. This study consists of three parts. The first part is to construct bird species/habitat relationship model. The second part is to evaluate 207 urban parks of Seoul with the model. Based on the relative potential for bird habitat, urban parks of Seoul can be classified into cores, nodes, and points of the network. Outcomes of this part can also be used to enhance the quality of bird habitats by identifying limits or weakness of existing green spaces for bird habitat. The final part is to develop three green network plans; north-south network, the Han river network, and a district network for Kangnam-Gu.

The purpose of the present study is to estimate the ecological instream flow for conservation and restoration of fish habitat in running water ecosystem which has very important status for stream environment. Estimation of the ecological instream flow in the present study was carried out by application of a two-dimensional depth averaged model of river hydrodynamics, River2D model. It can model fish habitat in natural streams and rivers and assess the quality of physical habitat accoriding to the species preferences for habitat suitability. Zacco platypus and Zacco temmincki were selected as target fish species in the study area of the Seomjin river. The Habitat Suitability Criteria (HSC) developed by Sung et al. (2005) were used for target fish species, life stages and habitat conditions in the study. Weighted usable area (WUA) was computed by the River2D model considering preferences of target fish species for velocity, depth, and channel substrate. The result revealed that the ecological instream flow of $10.0m^3/s$ is needed to maintain the target fish habitat at each life stage in the river.

꼬리말발도리는 한반도 특산식물임에도 불구하고 종의 분포, 개체군 및 자생지 특성, 그리고 이것에 기초한 종 보전 연구를 찾아보기 어렵다. 본 연구는 꼬리말발도리를 대상으로 종 분포 및 생태 특성을 분석하였다. 꼬리말발도리의 분포 특성은 문헌, 표본 및 현장 조사 자료를 참고하였다. 현장 조사는 6개 지역에서 11개의 대방형구 ($15{\times}15m$)와 33개 소방형구 ($5{\times}5m$)의 자생 집단을 대상으로 2014년 5월부터 10월까지 실시하였다. 개체군 특성으로 풍부성(밀도, 피도), demographic 속성 (개화율 및 결실율)이 조사되었으며, 자생지 특성으로 식생 (구조 및 종조성), 임내광량 (광량, 수관열림도) 및 토양 (온 습도, 이화학 속성) 특성을 분석하였다. 꼬리말발도리는 경상도 (강원도 태백 포함)가 분포 중심이었으며, 넓은 해발 분포 범위 (평균 493 m, 및 해발 290~959 m 범위)를 나타내었다. 꼬리말발도리 자생지의 평균 사면경사는 $16^{\circ}$ ($7{\sim}35^{\circ}$ 범위)이었으며, 주로 너덜 계곡 입지 및 그곳과 접한 사면하부에 분포하였다. 꼬리말발도리 개체군의 소방형구 ($5m{\times}5m$) 내에서 평균 12.5개체가 출현하였고, $m^2$당 평균밀도는 0.5를 보였다. 평균 개화율은 15%로 낮은 개화율을 보이며 영양생식에 의한 번식이 빈번히 이루어지는 것으로 판단된다. 꼬리말발도리 자생지의 조사구 수준 식물상은 138분류군이었다. 꼬리말발도리 자생지의 식생은 너덜 입지환경을 잘 반영하는 층층나무 (중요치 25.5%) 및 물푸레나무 (중요치 15.8%)가 우점하는 서식지로 나타났다. 층층나무 유형은 급경사 지역, 그리고 물푸레나무 유형은 주로 높은 해발고도에 분포하는 특성이 관찰되었다. 연구 결과, 꼬리말발도리는 인간 활동보다는 범람과 같은 자연 교란, 기후변화 및 진화 생태학적인 요인에 의해 개체수의 변동이 예상되는 종으로 판단되며, 개체군 및 자생지의 지속성을 위협하는 뚜렷한 증거는 찾아볼 수 없었다.

As the destruction of habitats due to recent development continues, there is also increasing interest in endangered species. Mankyua chejuense is a vulnerable species that is sensitive to changes in population and habitat, and it has recently been upgraded from Endangered Species II to Endangered Species I, requiring significant management efforts. So in this study, we analyzed the potential habitats of Mankyua chejuense using MaxEnt(Maximum Entropy) modeling. We developed three models: one that considered only environmental characteristics, one that considered artificial factors, and one that reflected the habitat of dominant tree species in the overstory. Based on previous studies, we incorporated environmental and human influence factors for the habitats of Mankyua chejuense into spatial information, and we also used the habitat distribution models of dominant tree species, including Ulmus parvifolia, Maclura tricuspidata, and Ligustrum obtusifolium, that have been previously identified as major overstory species of Mankyua chejuense. Our analysis revealed that rock exposure, elevation, slope, forest type, building density, and soil type were the main factors determining the potential habitat of Mankyua chejuense. Differences among the three models were observed in the edges of the habitats due to human influence factors, and results varied depending on the similarity of the habitats of Mankyua chejuense and the dominant tree species in the overstory. The potential habitats of Mankyua chejuense presented in this study include areas where the species could potentially inhabit in addition to existing habitats. Therefore, these results can be used for the conservation and management planning of Mankyua chejuense.
