AB - This study examines changes in activity restrictions within the Baekdudaegan ProtectedArea after the enactment of the Baekdudaegan Protection Act in 2004 and analyzes environmentalimpact assessment (EIA) consultations conducted between 2015 and 2024. Legislative amendmentswere reviewed using the National Law Information Center, and projects within and up to 1 km outsidethe protected area were analyzed through the Environmental Impact Assessment Supporting System(EIASS). A total of 28 projects were identified within the protected area, with 75% being lineardevelopments such as roads, railways, and energy facilities. In contrast, 217 projects occurred within1 km outside the boundary, and 76% of these were areal developments such as solar power facilitie and industrial complexes. Overten years, cumulative disturbed areas were 173,242 m² in the core zoneand 409,914 m² in the buffer zone, indicating that the buffer zone experienced 2.4 times more disturbedthan core zone. These results highlight that while the core zone benefits from strongerrestrictions, thebuffer zone faces heavier development pressure and potential ecological degradation. Mitigationmeasures presented in consultation opinions focused mainly on maintaining ecological connectivityand minimizing damage to topography and vegetation. However, few addressed legally protectedspecies or ecological restoration, revealing gaps in long-term conservation planning. The findingsstress the need for stricterreview of exception clauses, stronger preventive management, and concreterestoration strategies supported by follow-up survey of environmental impacts. This study concludesthat effective management of both core and buffer zones is essential to maintain the ecologicalconnectivity of the Baekdudaegan and to contribute to achieving international biodiversity goals.
