Abstract

As the seriousness of habitat destruction caused by development projects emerges, the importance of environmental impact assessment (EIA) is increasing to preserve biodiversity. In previous studies, research is being conducted to quantitatively evaluate the biodiversity impact of development factors and surrounding environmental factors on the landscape scale, but research on the factors affecting the reduction of biodiversity based on development projects is insufficient. This study examined whether independent variables (size of development project, type of the development, DEM, ecosystem and nature map, distance from the green land, distance from the protected area), which have been proven to effect biodiversity through the previous researches, have a significant effect on the change of richness index (RI) through multi-class logistic regression analysis, T-test, and analysis of the development type. As a result, only the size of development project and the first richness index in EIA showed p-value less than 0.05. And it was confirmed that the reduction in biodiversity was significantly changed in the following construction types: installation of sports facilities, energy development, and development of industrial location and industrial complex. Since the results of this study confirmed that the impact of the variables may be inconsistent depending on the analysis scale, additional study of necessary indicators at the development project is needed to analyze biodiversity changes in EIA accurately.

개발사업으로 인한 서식지 파괴의 심각성이 대두되면서 생물다양성을 보전하기 위해 환경영향평가(EIA)의 중요성은 커지고 있다. 경관스케일에서 개발 요인과 주변 환경요인에 따른 생물다양성 영향을 정량적으로 평가하기 위해 선행연구들이 진행되고 있으나, 개발사업을 기준으로 생물다양성 감소에 영향을 미치는 요인에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구는 선행연구를 통해 유효하다고 밝혀진 독립변수(사업 면적, 사업 유형, 고도, 생태·자연도, 녹지와의 이격거리, 보호구역과의 이격거리)들을 다중클래스 로지스틱 회귀분석, T-test, 사업 유형 검토분석을 통해 종풍부도 변화에 유의미한 영향을 미치는지를 검토하였다. 연구 결과, 토지 피복 단위에서 생물다양성에 영향을 끼치는 것으로 밝혀진 요인 중 사업 규모와 환경영향평가 시 종풍부도 값만이 p-value=0.05 이하의 값을 보였다. 그리고 사업 유형의 경우, 체육시설의 설치, 에너지 개발, 산업입지 및 산업단지의 조성에서 조류의 생물다양성 감소가 크게 변화하는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통해 분석 규모에 따라 영향을 끼치는 변수에서의 차이가 발생할 수 있음을 확인하였기에, 환경영향평가에서 생물다양성 변화를 분석하기 위해서는 개발사업 단위에서의 지표 활용에 연구가 추가로 필요할 것이며, 타 생물종으로의 일반화를 위해 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
