최근 생태계의 파괴로 인식이 높아진 생물다양성은 인류와 생태계가 살아감에 있어 중요한 요소임을 뜻하며, 멸종위기종의 생존 여부도 큰 영향을 미친다. 그에 따라, 생물다양성의 유지를 위해서는 사회적 교육이 필요하며, 단순한 이론보다 미디어를 통한 교육이 접근성과 높은 수요를 가지고 있으므로 효과적일 수 있다. 본 연구는 기존 문헌들의 이론과 연구 자료를 조사 및 분석하여 멸종위기종 보호 인식 개선 게임을 개발하였다. 연구의 결과물로 개발된 게임에 사전 사후 실험을 진행하여 인식 개선 효과가 있음을 확인하였다. 연구의 결과물은 보완을 통해 학교 등 교육기관에서 활용할 수 있는 것으로 기대한다.

Otters, designated as Class I endangered wildlife due to population declines resulting from urban development and stream burial, have seen increased appearances in freshwater environments since the nationwide ban on stream filling in 2020 and the implementation of urban stream restoration projects. There is a pressing need for scientific and strategic conservation measures for otters, an umbrella and vulnerable species in aquatic ecosystems. Therefore, this study predicts potential otter habitats using the species distribution model MaxEnt, focusing on Hwangguji Stream in Suwon, and proposes conservation strategies. Otter signs were surveyed over three years from 2019 to 2021 with citizen scientists, serving as presence data for the model. The model's outcomes were enhanced by analyzing 'river nature map' as a boundary. MaxEnt compared the performance of 60 combinations of feature classes and regularization multipliers to prevent model complexity and overfitting. Additionally, unmanned sensor cameras observed otter density for model validation, confirming correlations with the species distribution model results. The 'LQ-5.0' parameter combination showed the highest explanatory power with an AUC of 0.853. The model indicated that the 'adjacent land use' variable accounted for 31.5% of the explanation, with a preference for areas around cultivated lands. Otters were found to prefer shelter rates of 10-30% in riparian forests within 2 km of bridges. Higher otter densities observed by unmanned sensors correlated with increasing model values. Based on these results, the study suggests three conservation strategies: establishing stable buffer zones to enhance ecological connectivity, improving water quality against non-point source pollution, and raising public awareness. The study provides a scientific basis for potential otter habitat management, effective conservation through governance linking local governments, sustainable biodiversity goals, and civil organizations.
