Abstract
This study aims at providing exercisable basic data for the management of protection areas in China by investigating into their legal system such as current laws, regulations, other relevant laws and international treaties and the management system such as history, classification, organization, personnel, funds and main management work.. In People's Republic of China (1954), several laws have been enacted in succession, such as Environment Law (1989), Regulations of Natural Reserves (1994) and Land Management Methods of Natural Reserves (1995). The development process of China's natural reserves is divided into the following five phases. In the initial phase (1956-1965), about 20 natural reserves were established; in the lag phase (1966-1978), a part of the natural reserves was destroyed under the influence of the Great Cultural Revolution; in the development phase (1979-1998), a normative legal system began to appear after the reform and opening up; in the leap phase (1999-2006), the number of natural reserves increased dramatically; in the stable phase ( 2007-present), the protection and restoration of the ecological environment have been implemented, and the supervision and management have been strengthened. China has established natural reserves of national, provincial, municipal and county levels according to the relevant laws. According to the resource categories, natural reserves can be divided into natural ecosystem reserves, wildlife reserves and natural relic reserves. The Ministry of Forestry is in charge of 1,958 natural reserves which account for 74.2 % of the total natural reserves in China. In China, there are 1,384 natural reserves (52.4 %) for which management institutions have been set up. 1,702 natural reserves (64.47 %) are equipped with management staff, showing a higher ratio than the natural reserves which have set up management institutions.

본 연구는 중국 자연보호구의 현행 법률 및 법체계와 역사, 조직, 예산 등 관리체계를 분석하여 중국의 보호지역 관리를 위한 기초적 자료를 제공할 목적으로 수행되었다. 법체계는 "중화인민공화국 헌법(1954)"에 의거하여 "환경보호법(1989)", "자연보호구 조례(1994)", "자연보호구 토지 관리 방법(1995)"이 제정되었다. 자연보호구의 발전과정은 시작단계(1956-1965), 정지단계(1966-1978), 발전 단계(1979-1998), 급증 단계(1999-2006), 안정 단계(2007-현재)로 나눌 수 있으며, 안정단계에서는 생태 환경의 보호, 감독, 관리 강화 등 5단계로 분류된다. 중국 자연보호구는 법에 의거하여 국가급, 성급, 시급, 현급으로 분류하고, 자원유형별로는 자연생태체계류, 야생생물류, 자연유적류로 나누고 있다. 전체 자연보호구 2,640개소 중 임업부가 관리하고 있는 자연보호구는 1,958개(전국 수량의 74.2%) 로 가장 높은 비율을 차지하고 있다. 자연보호구 1,384개소(52.4%)에 관리조직이 건립되어 있으며, 관리조직 유 무에 상관없이 관리인원을 배치한 자연보호구는 1,702개소(64.47%)로 관리조직이 있는 비율보다 높게 나타났다.
