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.

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.

Rapid developments around the world have resulted in urban expansion, habitat destruction, habitat fragmentation, and pollution problems, which are the main reasons for the decline in biological diversity. The United Nations warns that many animals and plants will die out in the near future if this continues. This study was performed to propose a map of eco-corridor suitability analysis of Korean water deer(Hydropotes Inermis) to enhance biodiversity in Chuncheon city. Eight factors affecting habitat suitability were elevation, aspect, slope, forest type, distance to the road, distance to the stream, land use and green connectivity. Previous study analysis on the mobility behaviour of the Korean water deer(Hydropotes Inermis) produced a habitat suitability map by determining the threshold and assigning a value between 0 and 1 depending on the habitat suitability using the fuzzy function. A method of analysis was proposed for a number of eco-corridor through comparative analysis of the data from the produced habitat suitability map and the road-kill point. The previous studies were focused on Backdudaegan region and national parks except for urban cities. The potential habitat map of Korean water deer could be helpful as a way to prevent habitat disconnection and increase species diversity in urban areas.

This study was carried out to investigate the degree of impact from road construction and forest fragmentation after urbanization. And this study was also conducted to compare the urban forest fragmentations of four cities, Taegu, Pohang, Kyungju, and Kumi, in Kyungpook, Korea, with referring the Landsat TM remotely sensed data. Taegu metropolitan city has the largest forest volume of our surveying sites, comparing with three other cities-Kyungju Pohang Kumi city in kyungpook, Korea. The forest has been fragmented during urbanization, the number of forest patch has been increased, therefore, the patch size has been smaller. The forest in Pohang and Kyungju city represented the intermediate aspect between Taegu Metropolitan city and Kumi city, it means forest of the region has been stable condition. Road construction brings to increasing edge habitat area. However, as the core area was decreased, the habitats have been unstable. This result can be a basis on the management of the forest which is the origin of biodiversity. Hereafter, if the research, based on the multi-temporal remote sensing data, is proceeded continuously, the forest fragmentation will be able to be reduced. We will be able to settle urban forest management more practically.

생물서식지의 다양한 공간구조는 생물의 종 다양성과 밀접한 관계를 가지고 있다. 인구의 증가, 농업의 발달, 그리고 도시의 발전은 최근에 다양한 경관의 변화를 가져왔다. 이러한 경관의 변화는 생태적 구성인자의 서식지 감소와 파편화(fragmentation)를 초래하였다. 본 연구에서는 Landsat TM을 이용하여 식생지수를 산출하고 이를 식생 패치의 경계길이 대 면적 (perimeter : area, P/A ratio), Shape Index(SI), 프렉탈 디멘죤(D)에 의해 추출한 파편화지수를 분석하였다. NDVI에 의한 경관파편화의 분석은 0.5~1의 구간 값을 이용하는 것이 가장 파편화를 용이하게 구분할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 서울 경기지역의 식생 파편화는 프렉탈 디멘죤에 의해 구분할 때 가장 효과적으로 식생 패치의 파편화를 구분해 낼 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 향후 동일지역에 대한 식생 패치의 시계열적인 분석과 다양한 토지이용에 대한 식생 파편화의 분석을 비교 연구하여 식생 보전과 생물다양성의 전략을 제시할 수 있을 것이다.

국립공원 주변지역은 도시확장과 개발로 인하여 야생동물들의 이동통로가 단절되고 서식지들은 작은 조각들로 파편화되었다. 서식지의 파편화는 야생동식물들의 교류감소와 근친교배로 인한 생물들의 다양성을 감소시켜왔다. 무등산국립공원 주변지역의 생태축을 파편화 시키는 주요 원인은 묘지, 산맥 절개지, 도로와 공공주차장, 농지에 의한 산지잠식, 도시기반시설, 송전탑, 도시지역 등이다. 국립공원 주변지역은 국립공원과 도시지역의 생태계가 서로 교류하며 공생할 수 있도록 생태디자인을 통해 연결체계를 갖추어야 한다.

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.

본 연구는 경기도 내 남북한 접경지역인 파주시와 연천군에서 1990년부터 2007년까지 17년 동안 진행된 서식지 파편화를 경관지수를 이용해 분석하였다. 분석은 1990년과 2007년에 수집된 Landsat TM영상을 이용하여 초지 및 경작지 서식지와 산림 서식지를 분류한 후 각 시기별 서식지 면적비, 패치밀도, 평균 패치면적, 평균 패치면적 대비 둘레길이를 계산하여 비교하였다. 분석 결과 초지 및 경작지 서식지에 대한 패치밀도는 47% 증가, 평균 패치면적은 42% 감소하였고 산림 서식지의 패치밀도와 평균 패치면적도 각각 36% 증가, 28.7% 감소한 것으로 분석되어 두 유형의 서식지 모두 지난 17년간 급격히 파편화된 것으로 나타났다. 평균 패치면적 대비 둘레길이는 초지 및 경작지 서식지는 7%, 산림 서식지는 5% 감소하여 남아있는 서식지라 하더라도 서식지 주변지역의 경계효과에 영향을 받아 서식지 내부종이 서식할 수 없는 지역이 많아진 것을 알 수 있었다. 앞으로 늘어날 접경지역에 대한 개발에 대비해 서식지 파편화를 최소화할 수 있도록 하는 생태계 보전계획 수립이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Ecological network can solve the ecological problems such as habitat cutting and fragmentation that are resulted from urbanization. Recently, rooftop biotope construction has been appeared as a usefull method for ecological networking in urban area. The objective of this study is to seek the possibility of rooftop greening introduction as well as to select target species for rooftop greening construction from the urban ecological network point of view. In order to select target species, we monitored two adjacent rooftop greening sites, where we found 22 species of birds and insects and 33 species of plants. We set criteria to select target species through documents research, and gave marks species according to the criteria with the help of specialists. We divided the target species into 5 groups on the basis of the 12 selecting criteria. In those two monitored rooftop greening sites, we did not find any species belong to group A, which is the best target species, but we found species belong to the other groups. Orthetrum albistylum, Sympetrum dawinianum belong to group B, which is the priority target species, 7 species besides Passer montanus, Coccinella axyridis, Agrionidae to group C, which is the possible target species, 6 species besides Atractomorpha lata to group D, which is the potential target species, and the others were found to be inadequate to the target species. We found Orthetrum albistylum, Sympetrum dawi-nianum to be the best appropriate target species in the two sites. According to the result of this study, the method of ecological network construction from the dra-gonfly habitat network point of view through the construction of rooftop habitat is ideal for Orthetrum albistylum, and Sympetrum dawinianum. For successful urban ecological network construction, selection criteria and construction techniqes & methods for rooftop habitat should be developed through future research.

도시에서 사람과 야생조류는 함께 살아가고 있으나, 도시화가 가져온 생태계 파편화로 조류의 서식과 이동에 위협 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 수원시의 야생조류 사체 위치 데이터를 토대로 조류에게 취약한 공간, 위협요인을 확인하고자, 사체 확인 지점과 반경 500m 이내의 공간적 분포 특성을 살펴보았다. 연구결과, 사체 확인 지점은 NDVI 0.3, NDBI -0.05, NDWI -0.16의 특성을 보였다. 반경 500m 이내에는 NDVI 0.34, NDBI -0.01, NDWI -0.18, 건물 높이 13.8m, 방음벽 길이 227.3m로 확인되었다. 토지피복유형은 초지, 시가화건조지역, 나지가 높은 비율로 나타났다. 특히, 산림, 저수지 등과 인접한 아파트의 녹지, 골프장 등이 섞여있는 시가화지역의 가장자리가 위협적인 공간으로 도출되었다. 도시에서 조류와 함께 살아가기 위해서는 환경영향평가 단계에서부터 수직적 공간 변화에 따른 영향이 검토되어야 하며, 이에 앞서 도시의 수직 구조물에 대한 공간 자료 구축과 현실화가 필요하다. 또한, 자연에서 도시로 변화될 수밖에 없는 공간은 야생동물이 안전하게 회피, 적응할 수 있는 시공간적 측면이 고려된 사전예방적 관리방안이 함께 마련되어야 할 것이다.
