ABSTRACT

The Ecosystem and Nature Map (ENM) is basic map for current status of naturalresources. The map has been offered information to ecological conservation and restoration, as wellas to land use planning and policy making. The map composed of 794 sheets in 1:25,000 scaleclassifies total areas into three grade zones (1st, 2nd and 3rd grade zones) and separately managedzone. In 2005, the first draft Ecosystem and Nature Map was prepared by the second NationalEcosystem Survey. It was opened for the people to search and appeal. So 1,419 cases of public appeals on the first draft Ecosystem and Nature Map were submitted in 2005. After partial revision,the first Ecosystem and Nature Map was announced in 2007. The second draft Ecosystem andNature Map was prepared by the third National Ecosystem Survey and opened to public in 2012. As a result, 1,263 cases of public appeals were submitted in 2012. Since the first announcement of the Ecosystem and Nature Map in April 2007, 182 cases of publicappeals on the Map were submitted until December 2013. Among them, 159 cases were announcedwith revision. According to the first Ecosystem and Nature Map announced in 2007, graded areascovered 7.5% in the 1st grade zone, 39.2% in the 2nd grade zone and 44.7% in the 3rd grade zone ofthe national land area, respectively. In the second draft Ecosystem and Nature Map in 2012, areasof the 1st grade zone and the 2nd grade zone were 9.2% increased 1.7 percentage points and 45.5%increased 6.3 percentage points, and areas of the 3rd grade zone were 36.6% decreased 8.1 percentagepoints. Among areas of the 1st grade zone, Gangwondo occupies 54.3% in 2007 and 47.6% in 2012. Gangwondo consists of the highest percentage of the 1st grade zone and the smallest of the 3rdgrade zone. Seoul has the highest percentage of the 3rd grade zone. There were the highest increaseof the 1st grade zone in Gyeongsangbukdo and the highest decrease in Jeollabukdo and Seoul. Vegetation is the most important evaluation factor to determine the grade of the Ecosystem andNature Map.
