Beginning of the human ecology in 1920s, the efforts for applying the environmental values to a policy have been embodied by the enactments of international agreement and relevant laws. The government has been struggling to adopt the environmental values for the policy by enacting the relevant laws and establishing the environmental value evaluation information (environmental conservation value assessment map, eco-natural map, biotope map). In spite of the efforts to apply the environmental value assessment information for the habitat potential of wildlife, the application is being challenged by the discrepancy in methods and criteria. Thus this study intends to measure the potential of wildlife habitat and apply it to the spatial value classification for the application plan of wildlife habitat potential in policy. Maxent was used for the habitat potential and the land types were classified depending on the surface and land use pattern of cadastral map. As a result, the policy matrix including conservation strategy(CS), restoration strategy(RS), practical use strategy(PS) and development strategy(DS) has been deduced as CS $13.05km^2$(2.38%), RS $1.64km^2$(0.30%), PS $162.42km^2$(29.57%) and DS $8.56km^2$(1.56%). CS was emerged mostly on forest valleys and farmlands, and RS was appeared in the road area near the conservation strategy areas. Boryung downtown and Daecheon Beach were the center of DS, while the forest and farmlands were presented as PS. It is significant that this study suggest the new approaching method by comparing the wildlife habitat potential with the land type. Since this study evaluated the environmental value by one species of leopard cat (Prionailurusbengalensis) with Maxent model, it is necessary to apply the habitat potential measuring method for various target species as further research.

As the interest on biodiversity has increased around the world, researches about evaluating potential for habitat are also increasing to find and comprehend the valuable habitats. This study focus on comprehending the significance of stream in evaluating habitat's potential. The purpose of this study is to evaluate habitat potential with applying stream as a main variable, and to comprehend the relationship between the variables and habitat potential. Basin is a unit that has hydrological properties and dynamic interaction with ecosystem. Especially, biodiversity and suitability of habitat in basin area has direct correlation with stream. Existing studies also are proposing for habitat potential evaluation in basin unit, they applied forest, slope and road as main variables. Despite stream is considered the most important factor in basin area, researchers haven't applied stream as a main variable. Therefore, in this study, three variables that can demonstrate hydrological properties are selected, which are, riparian distance, stream order and land use disturbance, and evaluate habitat potential. Habitat potential is analyzed by using Maxent (Maximum entropy model), and vertebrate's presence data is used as dependent variables and stream order map and land cover map is used as base data of independent variables. As a result of analysis, habitat potential is higher at riparian and upstream area, and lower at frequently disturbed area. Result indicates that adjacent to stream, upstream, and less disturbed area is the habitat that vertebrate prefer. In particular, mammals prefer adjacent area of stream and forest and reptiles prefer upriver area. Birds prefer adjacent area of stream and midstream and amphibians prefer adjacent area of stream and upriver. The result of this research could help to establish habitat conservation strategy around basin unit in the future.

This study attempts to facilitate climate change adaptation in conservation area by spatial planning of climate adaptation zone for endangered species. Spatial area is South Korea and select leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis) as a target species of this study. In order to specify the climate adaptation zone, firstly, Maximum entropy method (Maxent) was used to identify suitable habitat, and then core habitat was selected for leopard cat. Secondly, land use resistance index was evaluated and least cost distance was analyzed for target species. In this step we choose dispersal capacity of leopard cat to reflect species ecological characteristic. Finally, climate adaptation zone is described and adaptation measures are suggested. The presented approach could be generalized for application into conservation planning and restoration process. Furthermore, spatial planning of climate adaptation zone could increase heterogeneity of habitat and improve adaptive capacity of species and habitat itself.

Among the 13 species of otters in the world, only one Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) is found in South Korea. In the Korean Peninsula, otter pelts were historically valuable and expensive commodities used for international trade, and otters have long been poached as hunting animals. Recent rapid economic development in South Korea has increased habitat fragmentation and loss, creating a continuing threat to the natural environment. Otters live only in the area of rivers and streams as a family group and are territorial (linear habitat). Due to these limited conditions of otter habitat, the population size of otter is lower than that of onshore mammals. According to recent research, DNA analyses using microsatellite markers have shown that only approximately 7-21 otter individuals inhabit river systems for a length of 50-230 km. Korea's urban streams are associated with many threats that hinder otters from inhabiting them. Many areas around the urban streams are surrounded by high concrete riverbanks, and the risk of roadkill is also high. Nevertheless, ecological restoration projects in the urban rivers will contribute greatly to the stable inhabitation of otters. Detailed otter conservation strategies, such as the elimination of threat factors, improvement of habitat environment, and restoration of food resources and shelter, will provide a positive restoration effect on otter and river ecosystems as well.

하천 본류와 구하도 사이의 횡적 연결성은 하천-홍수터 생태계에서 생태적 기능을 유지하는데 매우 중요하다. 본 연구는 2차원 평균수심 유한요소 모형인 River2D를 사용하여 만경강에서 직강화로 인해 격리된 구하도의 연결성을 가상으로 복원하고 평수기와 홍수기 조건에서 어류 서식처 변화를 평가하였다. 평가 대상 어종은 정수성 어종인 붕어 (Carassius auratus)와 유수성 어종인 피라미 (Zacco platypus)를 선정하였다. 물리서식처모의 결과에 의하면, 연결성 복원 전후의 붕어와 피라미의 가중가용면적 (weighted usable area, WUA)은 복원 후에 증가하였으며 양방향 복원이 일방향 복원보다 어류 서식처 복원에 효과적이었다. 또한 가중가용면적의 증가율은 평수기보다 홍수기에 더 높았다. 특히 피라미의 경우 홍수기에 구하도의 연결성이 양방향 복원되었을때 구하도 내의 가중가용면적이 복원 전 대비 약 4배로 크게 증가할 것으로 예측되었다. 본 연구 결과 만경강에서 본류와 구하도의 연결성이 복원되었을 때 정수성 어류와 유수성 어류의 서식처가 모두 증가할 것으로 예상되며, 일방향 복원보다 양방향 복원이 더 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 또한 복원된 구하도는 홍수기 때 어류의 피난처 역할을 할 것으로 기대되었다.

National parks are designated for the purpose of maintenance, conservation and utilization of different habitats. Therefore, it is necessary to select habitats of a high value as a protected area in order to balance conservation and development. However, the existing national park boundary adjustment and new designation criteria only focused on the endangered species and protected area, without proper evaluation of the habitat value of actual species. Therefore, this study aims to quantitatively evaluate habitat function in terms of biodiversity and habitat value, so that it can be referred to for the designation and boundary adjustment of national parks. We assessed species diversity and habitat values for each of the habitat types, for mammals only, as they are able to choose preferred habitats. In order to evaluate biodiversity, we used Maxent to derive species richness map and used InVEST's Habitat quality model to evaluate habitat value. As a result of evaluation, species richness was high in the national park boundary area. Also, even if the same edge is adjacent to the development area depending on the land cover, the species richness is low. Compared with Wolaksan and Sobaeksan National Park, the species richness and habitat value of the northern area, which is connected with other forests, were higher than those of the southern area where roads were developed. Therefore, it is expected that the use of the result of this study for the national park boundary adjustment and management will enhance the function of the national park as a habitat.

The river environment of many streams in Korea has been deteriorated through the rapid industrialization and urbanization since the early 1960s. Deterioration includes single-purpose channel works for flood control and dense riparian land uses such even as the covering of the channel, as well as water pollution. As a result, many streams have lost their precious river environment such as ecological habitat, river friendliness and riparian scenery. In the early 1990s, however, the necessity of restoring those channelized streams was felt among the river engineers as well as environmentalists in Korea. This article describes a summary of the literature review of the stream restoration guidelines and relevant publication including those published in Japan, Europe and USA. A special focus is on the Stream Corridor Restoration, which was recently in the USA in 1998. First, the meaning and background of stream restoration is reviewed. Last, a draft of the contents of the stream restoration guideline, which is being developed by the authors and their colleagues, is briefly introduced.

본 연구는 지리산국립공원에 서식하는 반달가슴곰의 겨울철 서식지 환경을 체계적으로 관리하기 위해 GIS 및 기계학습 모형으로 서식환경을 분석하여 지리산국립공원의 겨울철 동면기 서식지인 동면 장소 출현과 비동면기 동안의 서식지 환경과의 관계를 파악하였다. 그 결과 환경요인 중 동면 장소 선택에 가장 큰 영향을 준 요인은 경사로 41.4%, 그 다음으로 고도가 20.4%, 탐방로로부터 거리 10.9%, 영급 7.7% 순으로 나타났다. 한편, 반달가슴곰 서식지와 동면지역 서식지 평가결과를 비교해 본 결과, 평균 고도는 동면지역이 63m가 높았으며 최적 고도는 400m 이상 높게 나타났다. 평균 경사는 $7^{\circ}$가 높고 최적 경사는 $12{\sim}43^{\circ}$ 더 급한 지역을 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 도로와의 거리는 동면지역이 평균 300m 이상 더 떨어져 있었으며, 최적 이격 거리의 범위는 1,300~2,400m 더 떨어져 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 겨울철 동면의 메커니즘을 위한 동면 지역선택 시 조금 더 외부의 침입으로부터 안전하고, 인간과의 접촉에서 멀어지려는 습성에 의한 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구는 반달가슴곰이 동면기간 동안 혹독한 추위와 많은 위협요인을 피할 수 있는 동면 장소를 선택하는 서식환경요소를 분석함으로써, 반달가슴곰의 동면 생태 기작과 서식지 관리를 위한 기초적 자료를 제공하고자 한다.
