In an effort to preserve biodiversity in increasingly fragmented green patches, Korea has been installing eco-corridors over or under some arterial or expressways. In a survey of 43 such eco-corridors installed up until the year 2003, some problems and issues were identified. Some selected overseas eco-corridors were also investigated to find implications for the improvements of future installations in Korea. Major findings are; - For most existing eco-corridors, target species are not specified and locations of the eco-corridors are not well considered, and consequently it is questionable if wildlifes are crossing them - Most of existing eco-corridors lack supporting facilities such as fences that guide wildlife to cross them and prevent them from running into the road - Planting on the eco-corridors is not sufficient, not diverse enough in species, and not very considerate of wildlife but designed and planted in a similar manner as in urban parks - Where target species are not well specified, the location, width, cross section, and other aspects of the eco-corridors can not be optimized - It is suggested that eco-corridors are planned at early stages of road planning so that the number and locations of eco-corridor(s) decided as necessary and even the alignment and design of roads consider the installation of eco-corridors in advance - Monitoring of wildlife crossings is needed for improved eco-corridor planning and design - Nationwide green network plan is desirable to be made first and eco-corridors fit into it.

The purpose of this paper is to create ecological values for urban rivers. For this, the paper looks into river bed structures and how nearby lands are used. This study was performed to set the specific sections for analysis through a field investigation of the infrastructure conditions, surrounding land use, and the inter habitat structure of Seongnaecheon(Stream). A total of 780 individuals from 31 species of wild birds appeared in Seongnaecheon(Stream). According to foraging guild's habitat, there were 9 species of water, 8 types of water edges, 5 types of crowns, 5 types of shrubs, 2 types of tree trunks, 2 types of birds of raptors, and 355 individuals of water, 243 shrubs, 90 crowns, 84 water edges and 5 raptors. Many water birds were observed at the site where the Seongnaecheon(Stream) sandy plains and wetland herbaceous area were developed and the open water was secured. Most of the forest birds appeared on levee slope connected with forest around and riverside with fewer facilities for use. The species diversity index of Shannon, the entire section of Seongnaecheon(Stream), was 2.2697 and the downstream ecological landscape conservation area of Seongnaecheon(Stream) was found to be useful as a habitat for wild birds in the city compared to other sections. Some sections of Seongnaecheon (Stream) had low species diversity index due to lack of green space and surrounding urbanization areas. In choosing target species, I researched the special features of the habitats and the habitation structure of wild birds in each zone. Regarding detailed plans, by classifying the breeding place & roosting site and the roosting site & shelter that took account of the inhabitation characteristics of the target species in different sections, this paper suggested the major plant species and multilayer planting structures. Moreover, this study proposed the development of habitats for water birds and forest birds along with the connection of the green network for improving the Eco-corridor linkage and inhabitation features in Seongnaecheon(Stream).

본 연구에서는 도심 내 단절되어 있는 서식지의 연결성을 고려하여 생태통로를 구축하고자 하는 선행연구로 서울시의 인왕산과 안산의 생물 종 분포를 예측하였다. 연구대상지역인 인왕산과 안산의 생물 종 분포는 출현자료만으로도 결과를 예측할 수 있는 Maxent(Maximum Entropy Approach) 모형을 이용하여 분석하였다. Maxent 모형을 활용하여 종 분포를 예측하기 위해, 출현자료는 포유류 23개 지점과 박새류(Parus major, P. palustris, P. varius) 3종 15개 지점을 활용하였다. Maxent 모형의 환경변수로는 지형인자 4가지, 식생인자 4가지와 거리인자 2가지를 대상으로 구축하였다. 이 변수들을 활용하여 종 분포를 예측한 결과, 포유류의 경우에는 수치표고자료(DEM)가 34%, 산림지역의 경계로부터 산림내부의 거리가 24.8%, 수종이 10% 순으로 종 분포 모형에 기여도가 높았다. 반면 박새류의 경우에는 수치표고자료가 39.6%, 도로로부터의 거리가 35.4%, 나무의 밀도가 8.2% 순으로 모형에 기여도가 높았다. 따라서 조류 및 포유류는 산림 내부지역을 선호하는 것으로 나타났으며, 이 지역 보전이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.
