AB - With the increasing occurrence of wildlife in urban areas, the coexistence of humans and wildlife has emerged as a critical issue in urban ecosystems. This study aims to analyze public perceptions of wildlife occurrence in Seoul using blog data and derive policy implications based on the findings. Through frequency analysis and network analysis, the most frequently mentioned wildlife species in Seoul were wild boars, raccoon dogs, water deer, crows, and stray dogs. While negative adjectives were frequently associated with wild boars, no nouns related to accidents involving them were found. In contrast, species-specific human-wildlife conflicts were identified, such as roadkill incidents for water deer and rabies concerns for stray dogs. Despite hygiene-related issues, raccoon dogs were perceived as relatively familiar animals. Crows were mainly associated with noise problems, which caused discomfort among citizens, but they were not considered a direct threat. Wild boars, stray dogs, and water deer were frequently mentioned in suburban areas, whereas raccoon dogs were linked to parks and rivers within urban areas. This study emphasizes the necessity of species-specific management policies based on occurrence locations and risk levels. It argues that social media data can serve as a crucial tool for policy approaches to foster urban ecosystems where humans and wildlife can coexist. Integrating large-scale social media data with field-based research could enable the development of effective wildlife management and conservation strategies.
