Abstract

This study aims to draw the limitations of wetland restoration related legal systems of ASEAN+3 countries and suggest the improvements. In the case of Korea, there is no integrated law or integrated management organization for wetland restoration, and the legal basis for estuaries restoration is insufficient. As many ASEAN countries depend on wetlands for their livelihood, public support for sustainable use and conservation of wetlands should be preceded through raising awareness about the value of wetlands. Some countries need to establish a specific wetland definition, while developing countries need to strengthen national capacities through international cooperation. A legal basis is needed to eliminate the impacts on peatlands and mangrove forests and conserve them.

본 연구는 아세안+3 13개국의 습지 복원 관련 법 제도의 한계를 도출하고 개선 방향을 제언하였다. 우리나라는 통합법 또는 컨트롤타워가 부재하며 하구 복원을 위한 법 제도 기반이 미흡하다. 많은 국가가 습지에 생계를 의존하는 만큼 습지 가치에 대한 인식 제고를 통해 지속가능한 이용과 보전에 대한 지지를 확보하는 것이 필요하다. 일부 국가는 습지 정의를 구체적으로 정립할 필요가 있으며, 개도국은 국제협력을 통해 국가 역량 강화를 도모해야 한다. 이탄지와 맹그로브 숲에 미치는 영향을 해소하고 이를 보전하기 위한 법 제도 기반이 필요하다.
