Abstract

Mountain ranges are crucial not only as habitats for biodiversity but also as sources of diverse ecosystem services essential to human well-being. In South Korea, the Baekdudaegan mountain range is protected for its natural and cultural significance. However, the subsidiary mountain ranges, known as Jeongmaeks, remain vulnerable to urbanization due to inadequate protection and management plans. This study aims to assess the impact of urbanization on Jeongmaek areas, utilizing the 'Environmental Impact Assessment Guideline for Baekdudaegan and Jeongmaek' to inform future management strategies. Damage was identified urbanized areas in land cover maps and EIA target areas, and loss of ecological connectivity. The results indicate that the Jeongmaeks near densely populated regions, such as the Seoul Metropolitan Area (Hannam and Hankbuk Jeongmaek), have suffered significant fragmentation, primarily due to road and rail construction. These areas should be managed as recreational zones, integrating natural parks and entertainment facilities to promote sustainable use of natural resources. Conversely, the Jeongmaeks located both near and further from urban centers, such as Nakdong and Naknam Jeongmaek, exhibit a mix of severely damaged and well-preserved areas. For these regions, a balanced management approach that integrated both conservation and sustainable use in recommended to ensure ecological resilience.
