ABSTRACT

This study aims to estimate and map the priority order of South Korea’s local forest ecosystem services (referred as ES) supply stock. Delphi analysis was conducted to select ten particular ES that meet the national standards and reflect South Korea forest characteristics. The order of ecosystem supply stock was investigated through literature reviews, interviews with domestic ES research experts, and spatial analysis. For Gariwangsan in Gangwon-do, the water quality control service showed the highest ES supply stock. For Yeoninsan in Gyeonggi-do, the cultural service of recreation and tourism showed the highest ES supply stock. In sum, the priority order of ES supply stock differed significantly between the two mountains. The validity of our finding based on the Delphi analysis was checked through the interview with local residents and managers. Based on our result, we suggest that the land use score approach is considered to be a suitable method for evaluating the initial conditions when establishing a forest ecosystem service management plan for local forest areas in Korea.
