Natural disturbances and human development can cause habitat fragmentation. Plant and wildlife can become isolated, and habitat fragmentation and shrinkage have been recognized as a key issue facing the conservation of biological diversity. However, eco-corridors can alleviate the problem by providing linkages between isolated patches. The purpose of this study is to plan the eco-corridor for connecting urban forest via the urban stream with low cost and to restore the ecosystem. The results were as follows (1) Falco subbuteo, and Dryocopus martius inhabit in the study site. They are protected species designated by Korean Ministry of Environment. Thus the study site should be preserved as urban wildlife habitat species biodiversity (2) If the biodiversity of the study site is maintained properly, the eco-corridor can be constructed with low cost.

Landcover change is an important factor that changes structure and function of regional ecosystem. As the rise of concern on environment quality, many studies are trying to quantify and evaluate the landsacpe in recent days. In this study, using landscape indices with RS(Remote Sensing) and GIS(Geographic Information System) technology, spatio-temporal variations of areas and distribution of forest patches were examined in the Chonan from 1985 to 1996. Fragstats 2.0 was employed to analyze and compute 31 landscape indices from 52 landcover maps. A result of this study showed that area of forest and paddy decreased as a result of urban sprawl. Especially from 1993 to 1996, the change of land use progressed rapidly because of merging a city and a country in Chonan. The size of patch in forest had been smaller and irregular form, heterogeneity of size of forest patches within sub-basin increased, and variety of patch types around forest patches increased from 1985 to 1996.

Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has been the biggest environmental problem in Korea since the 2010s. The present study considers the value of urban forests and green infrastructure as an ecosystem service (ES) concept for PM2.5 reduction based on satellite and spatial data, with a focus on Seoul, Korea A method for the spatial ES assessment that considers social demand variables such as population and land price is suggested. First, an ES assessment based on natural environment information confirms that, while the vitality of vegetation is relatively low, the ES is high in the city center and residential areas, where the concentration of PM2.5 is high. Then, the ES assessment considering social demand (i.e., the ESS) confirms the existence of higher PM2.5 values in residential areas with high population density, and in main downtown areas. This is because the ESS of urban green infrastructure is high in areas with high land prices, high population density, and above-average PM2.5 concentrations. Further, when a future green infrastructure improvement scenario that considers the urban forest management plan is applied, the area of very high ESS is increased by 74% when the vegetation greenness of the green infrastructure in the residential area is increased by only 20%. This result suggests that green infrastructure and urban forests in the residential area should be continuously expanded and managed in order to maximize the PM2.5 reduction ES.

본 연구의 목적은 경기도 수원 영흥공원을 대상지로 도시 산림공원의 자연자원을 활용한 자연체험기회를 제공하고, 자연환경의 중요성을 인식할 수 있는 체험형 자연교육 프로그램을 개발·연구하고자 하였다. 연구대상지는 도시 산림 보전과 지속가능한 이용이 공존하는 교육의 장소가 될 잠재성을 가지고 있는 수원 영흥공원으로 한정하였다. 수원 영흥공원의 기반환경과 동·식물생태를 조사·분석후 도출된 자연교육 자원을 체계화하여 프로그램 목표와 방향 및 주제를 설정하였다. 수원 영흥공원은 물이 풍부한 산림으로 계곡부 주변에 논경작지와 묵논습지 및 둠벙 등 습지 생태계를 이루고 있다. 산책로는 U자형 능선을 따라 완만하게 형성되었고, 수원시가 지정한 팔색로 중 도란길이 포함된다. 토양은 도시의 대기오염과 산성비로 인해 식물 생장에 좋지 않은 pH 4.40의 산성토양이다. 토지이용 및 현존식생조사에서 인공림, 자연림, 경작지가 대부분이며, 인공림에서는 아까시나무림, 자연림에서는 상수리나무군락, 경작지에서는 밭과 다랭이논이 분포하였다. 산림식생중 아까시나무림은 쇠퇴하고 갈참나무군락으로 천이가 진행 중이며, 도시환경 적응성이 강한 때죽나무, 팥배나무 등이 생육하였다. 큰나무는 13종 180주로 흉고직경이 109cm으로 가장 큰 은사시나무, 105주의 상수리나무 대경목이 분포하고 있어 동물이 서식하기 위한 먹이, 은신처를 제공하고 있다. 야생조류는 산림에서 사는 산새류가 22종, 논습지를 이용하는 물새류 6종이 서식하였고, 양서류는 4종, 파충류는 2종이 서식하였다. 천연기념물 제327호 원앙, 멸종위기 야생생물II급인 맹꽁이도 논습지에서 관찰되었다. 그 외 지표 잠자리류 8종, 나비류 3종을 관찰하였다. 수원 영흥공원 숲 생태계 구성원과 특성을 담은 자원을 5가지 기준으로 체계화하여 수원 영흥공원의 도시숲생태계를 이해하고, 친밀감을 가지며, 자신과 공동체, 사회와의 관계성을 인식을 위한 목표로 체험형 자연교육 프로그램을 제시하였다. 그러나 다양한 연령과 계층에 특성화된 프로그램에 대한 연구의 한계가 있어 차후 연구가 필요하다.

Improving the urban environmental quality relies mainly on the increasing of urban forests capacity to store carbon dioxide. This study assesses the floristic diversity of urban institutional lands in Bukavu and their potential to reduce atmospheric $CO_2$. An exhaustive inventory over three sites ($Coll{\grave{e}}ge$ Alfajiri, $Cath{\acute{e}}drale$ Notre-Dame de la Paix and Institut $Sup{\acute{e}}rieur$ $P{\acute{e}}dagogique$) of Bukavu led to the identification of 1,113 trees of which the diameter at breast height (1.30 m) ranged from 4.9 to 161 cm. Results reveal a floristic diversity made up of 4 families of conifers with 4 species and 14 of broadleaves with 21 species. Average densities were of $54trees\;ha^{-1}$ and $5.21m^2\;ha^{-1}$ of basal area. Urban-based allometric equations used yielded up to 312.8 tons of carbon stored in trees aboveground biomass equivalent to 1,147.9 tons of $CO_2$ reduced from the atmosphere over the three sites. The rate of carbon storage reaches $15.1tons\;ha^{-1}$. Thus, trees of the three institutional sites in Bukavu play an important role in reducing atmospheric $CO_2$ and contribute, thereby, to mitigate global climate change effects. Given the current environmental challenge associated with high population growth rate in cities, the urban forest ecosystem in DRC requires to be extended and further investigation.

본 연구는 국내 생태분야 리스크 평가 및 적응대책 수립의 공간적 기준이 될 수 있는 생태계 유형분류방안 검토를 목적으로 하였다. 이를 위해, 생태분야 기후변화 리스크 평가와 적응대책의 특징, 국내외 리스크 평가에서 적용하는 생태계/서식지 유형분류 현황 및 관련 데이터를 조사하였다. 영국을 비롯하여 유럽 등지에서 일반적으로 생물종다양성 및 생태계서비스 평가를 위한 공간정보DB로 토지피복분류가 널리 활용되고 있음에 착안하여, 국내 토지피복분류의 적용성을 정량적으로 검토하였다. 그 결과, 기후변화 리스크 평가 및 적응대책 수립을 위한 생태계 유형분류 시 현재 국내 대분류 토지피복 체계만으로는 분류군별 서식 경향성을 거의 알 수 없기에 대분류를 그대로 적용하는 것은 한계가 있을 것으로 생각된다. 우리나라 국토 피복 전반을 차지하는 산림 생태계(62.3%) 및 농경지 생태계(25.0%) 유형의 세분화와 함께, 국토대비 면적은 작지만 다양한 분류군이 서식하는 습지생태계(2.9%), 특수 분류군이 서식하는 연안(0.4%) 및 해양생태계(0.6%), 도시생태계(6.1%)에 대한 분류가 고려되어야 한다. 추후 산림, 농경지 피복분류에 있어 중분류 체계 이하의 세분화가 필요하며, 국토 대비 면적에 비해 분류군의 서식지 선호비율이 높은 내륙습지, 해양/해안 서식지, 도시와 자연생태계의 전이지역 등에 대한 반영 역시 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

We examined three nature restoration projects in urban areas of Japan, China, and Korea. A prefectural park(29ha) has been under construction since 2005 on an abandoned industrial site in the southern part of Amagasaki City, Hyogo Prefecture, central Japan. Shanghai Central Park(28ha) was redeveloped in 2002 on a site that was formerly the old downtown in central Shanghai. Seoul Forest Park was developed as a large urban park(116ba) in 2005 in Seoul. All three parks were developed as urban parks by local governments. Citizen involvement is common to all three examples. One of main purposes of the Hyogo prefectural park and the Seoul Forest Park was the reuse of unused or abandoned areas. One goal in Hyogo, Shanghai, and Seoul was to restore the urban ecosystem and preserve the environment. We discussed the meaning of nature restoration in urban areas.

The objective of this study is to increase bio-diversity by developing more efficient methods to created habitats and applying them in introducing prototypes of forest, grassland, and marsh which are found in natural ecosystem, to urban environment. In this context, in creating man-made marsh in Seoul Engineering High School, firstly, philosophical framework to create man-made marsh to restore urban nature and conceptual system to create a region considering life and ecosystem were established. Secondly, by applying the philosophical framework and the conceptual system, water quality section, plantation section, and techniques to create habitats to increase bio-diversity were introduced. Lastly, when the creation is completed, maintenance of the marsh will continue with participation and education of students and residents. This study presents how natural environment can be restored and created in urban areas. This may be viewed as modest beginning. I expect this study proves to be effective in increasing bio-diversity, fulfill its role as an experiment station for restoration and creation of natural environment and natural educational center for students and community as well as habitats for wild life, and open a new chapter in developing a society seeking co-existence of humankind and life. Therefore, when technological guideline on restoration and creation of man-made marsh in urban area is developed based on the outcome of this study, expansion of the project to nationwide including metropolitan cities like Seoul is recommended.
