  • In 1999, Wetlands Conservation Act was enacted for the domestic implementation of the Ramsar Convention in Korea. According to the Act, wetlands have been managed by the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries(MOF). In the field of coastal wetland of which MOF is in charge, starting with the designation of Muan coastal wetlands as protected area in 2001, there are 12 wetland conservation areas up to $218.96km^2$. Even though there has been rapid growth of protected areas, it is time to give attention to the effective implementation of wetland conservation policies. This study aims to analyze institutional and operational problems related to wetland management and give some recommendations for the improvement of the wetland conservation policy and legal framework.

  • Korea established an inventory of 1,916 sites of inland wetlands during a nationwide investigation from 2000 to 2010. If inland wetlands is included in or near various protected areas designated by the government, it can be selected as a wetland to be managed with priority. This study evaluated the aspect of management of inland wetlands by analyzing the correlation between locations of national protected areas and inland wetlands. As a result, it was shown that a considerable percentage of current inland wetland was located in areas that were designated and managed as protected areas by the government, as they had a high value of natural environment protection (527 sites, 31.61 %). When the range was widened to a radius of 1 km for protected areas, 959 sites were included and 57.53 % of sites were located in or nearby the protected areas. Among them, 46.79 % of sites were distributed up to or within a 1 km radius of waterside areas and rivers; it accounted for 81.33 % of wetlands located in protected areas. Therefore, it was found that locations of current inland wetlands were mostly in contact with rivers. The results of overlay analysis were classified into high, medium and low; the correlation of location with inland wetlands was analyzed through the analysis of separation distance of various protected areas. The number of wetlands located in areas of a 'high' value of protection was 998 (59.87 %); 289 sites (17.34 %) were distributed in areas of a 'low' value of protection. This implies that these wetlands are located in artificial areas and are more exposed to environmental pressures. Thus, these wetlands could be determined as inland wetlands, which we considered for the establishment of measures to prevent damage.

  • This study suggested methodology of Citizen Science as a tool of ecosystem conservation and management to achieve Wetland Protected Area (WPA) Conservation Plan and examined whose applicability in 3 WPAs (Jangrok of Gwangju metropolitan city, Madongho of Goseong in South Gyeongsang Province, and Incheongang estuary of Gochang in North Jeolla Province). It consists of a) figuring out main interests and stakeholder or beneficiaries of WPA and their information demand based on conservation, utilization, and management target in the WPA Conservation Plan, b) conducting research activities to gain outcome to address stakeholder's demand, and c) returning the research outcome to citizen scientists and making diffusion to the society. Based on the suggested method and process, citizen scientists conducted ecosystem monitoring (plants including Invasive Alien Plants, terrestrial insects, traces of mammals, discovering unknown wetland). As a result, citizen scientists contributed to collecting species information of 16 plans, 43 species of terrestrial insects, 5 mammals including Lutra lutra (Endangered Species I) and Prionailurus bengalensis (Endangered Species II). The authors constructed and provided distribution map of Invasive Alien Plants, which included information of location and density which citizen scientists registered, for Environment Agencies and local governments who manage 3 WPAs to aid data-based ecosystem policy, In further studies, not only accumulating research data and outcomes acquired from citizen science to suffice the policy demands but also deliberate reviewing policy applicability and social·economic ripple effect should be processed for the suggested Citizen Science in WPA to be settled down as a tool of ecosystem conservation and management.

  • The purpose of this paper is to elucidate the formation processes of Hwaeumneup in Cheonseong Mountain which was designated as Wetland Conservation Area in 2002, and to offer data essential to sustainable management of wetland. According to wetland core samples and carbon dating of humus, grassland of Hwaeumneup Wetland Reservation resulted from slash-and-burn agriculture in no reference with climatic changes of last glacial period. And Hwaeumneup is a alpine wetland that is formed as rain water over Cheonseong Mountain crest area infiltrates into bedrock, springs out along joint line below main ridge, and dampens gentle grassland. It needs to support dense vegetation of southwestern ridge of Wetland Reservation in order to sustain water volumn of Hwaeumneup wetland, and to keep from breakdown of block dam at downstream fringe of wetland. And it needs to measure and analyse micro-topography and hydrology changes in Hwaeumneup Wetland Reservation through periodic monitoring.

  • This study was conducted to provide basic data for monitoring the trend of ecosystem change and establishing management plans for wetland protection areas by understanding the status of naturalized plants. In 21 wetland protection areas, 129 taxa, including 10 invasive alien species, were recorded. The naturalized plants appeared mostly as 71 taxa in the Chimsil wetland and were not observed in the Moojechineup and Sumeunmulbaengdui wetlands. Among the naturalized plants, 42 taxa (32.6%) originated from North America. Annual and biennial plants accounted for 68.2% (88 taxa). The frequencies of occurrence of naturalized plants growing in dry secondary grasses such as Erigeron annuus and Trifolium repens were high, and clonal plants that propagated by making stolons and struck roots accounted for 19.4% (25 taxa). The naturalized and urbanization indices showed positive correlations with location factors such as wetland, agricultural land, and used area. However, a negative correlation was found between altitude and forest. Therefore, a management plan that synthetically considers the occurrence frequency and growth characteristics of naturalized plants as well as the locational characteristics of wetland protection areas is required.

  • The purpose of this study is to provide the basis information for ecological conservation and restoration of Jangdo wetland conservation area through the survey of vegetation diversity and spatial distribution characteristics. Syntaxonomic account of plant communities were carried out field survey by Z.-M. school method at 14 sites and relationship analysis between plant community and environment variables with Principal Coordinate Analysis (PCoA). Based on the floristic composition, all the plots were classified into xeric and hydric type and arranged in seven plant communities. Spatial distribution of plant communities is determined primarily by the soil moisture condition and amount of organic matter. Hydric vegetation is around 8% ($7,337m^2$) of the protected area and distributed swamp forest of dominating willows under 18 years. Proliferation of willows are recognised extended from edge to centre after in 1990's caused by fallow and control of livestock grazing on wetland. Jangdo wetland will have to readjust the protection boundary because wet meadow zone and swamp forest have been distributed outside the protection area.

  • The study attempts to try a classification of tidal flats types by selecting indicators and go forward to suggest a management plan by tidal flats types. With several indicators selected and PSR(Pressure-State-Response) framework, the relationship between environmental changes and socioeconomic activities in tidal flats was investigated. Tidal flats types were consequently classified into three groups: Wetland Protection Area, Wetland Rehabilitation Area, and Wetland Use-coordination Area. Accordingly, 69 tidal flats were assigned into each groups by PSR analysis: 34 Wetlands Protection Areas, 26 Wetland Rehabilitation Areas, and 9 Wetland Use-coordination Areas. So the baseic management plan of tidal flats must be different by tidal flats and characteristics of region but basically it must give top priority to the sustainable use in the long term.

  • 최근 환경에 대한 관심이 증대하면서 생물다양성, 홍수조절, 온실가스 저감 등 다양한 기능을 수행하는 습지에 대한 보전 및 복원을 위한 많은 노력들이 진행되고 있다. 습지 보전 및 복원을 위한 다양한 방안 중 하나가 댐 및 주변지역을 습지로 조성하여 활용하는 방안이라고 할 수 있으며, 이를 위해서는 댐 및 주변지역의 습지로서의 활용을 위한 특성 파악이 우선적으로 이루어져야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 댐 주변지역에 조성된 습지와 댐 저수지 자체를 모두 포함하여 댐습지라고 정의하고, 댐습지가 지니고 있는 습지의 기능 및 경제적 가치를 추정하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 대상지역은 기준습지와 대상습지로 구분되며, 기준습지는 우포늪과 보령댐, 대상습지는 용담댐이다. 댐습지의 기능평가는 수문지형학적 특성을 고려하는 HGM(Hydrogeomorphic Method)을 이용하였으며, 가치평가는 조건부가치측정법(CVM)을 이용하였다. 기능평가 결과는 우포늪과 보령댐을 각각 기준지역으로 선정하였을 경우로 구분하여 나타낼 수 있다. 자연습지인 우포늪을 기준지역으로 선정하였을 경우에는 댐의 주목적과 관련이 있는 수문학적 기능이 높게 평가되었으나 습지 내에서 진행되는 생지화학적 기능과 다양한 식물 종에 대한 서식처로써의 기능은 다소 미흡한 것으로 평가되었다. 보령댐을 기준지역을 선정하였을 경우에는 일부 기능을 제외하고 대부분의 기능이 유사한 것으로 평가되었다. 조건부가치측정법을 이용한 용담댐의 경제적 가치평가는 댐습지 생태공원조성에 따른 훼손된 습지의 보호, 희귀생물종의 보호, 휴양 및 여가기능 제공을 주요인으로 설정하고 설문조사를 수행하여 가치를 추정하였다. 그 결과 용담댐의 총 가치는 우포늪의 가치와 비교하였을 때 우포늪의 35~41%에 해당하는 것으로 추정되었다. 본 연구에서 수행된 댐습지의 기능 및 가치평가 결과는 댐이 단순히 이 치수 측면으로만 이용되는 것이 아니라 생태학적으로도 활용성이 있다는 사실을 나타내고 있다. 이를 통해서 향후 댐의 친환경적 활용 방안 및 댐습지 관리 방안에 중요한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 댐에 대한 긍정적인 인식 증진에도 많은 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.
