The purpose of this study is to derive political implications and to look into the establishment of new directions for the biotope mapping across the Korean territory so that such biotope mapping process could be used as a means of actual plan for natural environment preservation through the comparative study of biotope mapping methodology with that of the biotope mapping pioneer-Germany. As for research methodology, this study collected literature and data related to the biotope mapping of Korea and Germany and examined the general characteristics and inclinations about biotope mapping of both country, at a level of the national territory, federal government, provincial government, city and settlement areas. As a result of the examination, first, it was found that Germany drew up a landscape eco-type map and ecological landscape grade map throughout the nation in order to preserve and manage effectively by differential landscape eco-type unit. In contrast, Korea drew up a map on which Degree of Green Naturality and Ecological Nature Status are reflected for natural environment preservation at a nationwide unit. Secondly, the biotope mapping of German was worked centering on natural areas and their corresponding areas at German provincial government level and it drew up a Red-list by each province, while Korea has yet to carry out biotope mapping at a provincial level corresponding to Germany's. Thirdly, the biotope mapping on German cities and settlement areas includes not only big city areas but also medium & small cities and rural areas whereas Korean biotope mapping is conducted mainly centering on urban areas. In conclusion, this study suggests that the biotope mapping including natural areas and anti-natural area, not limited to city areas should be revitalized in order to be a real means of the all territory's balanced natural environment and biotope preservation & management. In addition, for this purpose, this study suggests that research on biotope pattern catalog and biotope red-list applicable to all territory should be preceded.

생태도시계획의 핵심토대로서 UBM(Urban Biotope Mapping)과 BIS(Biotope Information System)는 총 5단계로 구성된다. 본 연구는 2단계의 연구로서 독일 도르트문트시를 사례지로 한 도시비오톱 유형분류방법을 규명해 보고 우리 나라 적용가능성을 타진해 보는 데 목적이 있었다. 유형분류결과 biotope group complex는 총 12개, biotope group은 총 67개, detail biotope은 총 1,120개로 나타났다. 면적점유율 및 분포현황의 분석결과 습지초원 및 반건초지 초원비오톱(전체 면적 0.8%)이 희귀비오톱으로 분류되었으며, 분구원지역비오톱(전체 면적의 2.8%)의 다양도가 가장 높게 나타났다. 또한 적용가능성이란 측면에서 볼 때 서로 다른 도시발전형태에 따른 토지이용패턴의 상이성보완이 필요하고, 더불어 기타 도시생태관련자료에서 지형(적)도(1 : 5,000) 및 적외선 칼라항공사진(1 : 5,000)은 최소한의 자료로 준비되어야 할 것으로 사료되었다.
