The Master Plan of Natural Environment Conservation in Korea by Ministry of Environment has been carried out since 1986. The 2nd 10-year survey started in 1997, and there are three major parts in the Master Plan : First, the basic natural environment survey, second, sites in special features of ecological characteristics such as uninhabitable islands, wetlands, etc, and third, biological species featuring status of habitat, and population dynamics. However the information in the Master Plan is very fragmented and collected data are not so abundant due to insufficient man-power and unsynchronized survey time/season. In this regard this paper examined the similar National Biological Survey in USA and compared the differences with the Master Plan in Korea. The Master Plan in Korea should separate the management zone based on hydrological characteristics, and in each zone we should set a management goal in the long term basis. Secondly the species list is not so meaningful that we must concentrate more on research activities. In each taxonomical group we set up hypotheses and research goals. Thirdly local residents and communities should be involved in research so that enhanced biological diversity should benefit people in areas. Lastly legislation and laws should be reexamined and rectified to provide information to the managers that deals with natural resources, expecially when conflicting with economic matters.

The National Ecosystem Survey in Korea provides information to policy makers for preservation of natural environment and implementation of international agreement. The 1st and 2nd National Ecosystem Survey were carried out between 1986 and 1990, and between 1997 and 2005, respectively. The 3rd National Ecosystem Survey began in 2006 and ended in 2012. In 2013 the pilot survey for the 4th National Ecosystem Survey is ongoing. The 4th National Ecosystem Survey due to the revision of the Natural Environment Conservation Act which has been done every 10 years would change into every five years. It is planned to be conducted from 2014 to 2018. The survey method of the 4th National Ecosystem Survey has been modified to obtain more accurate data for many taxa. The survey for a nocturnal animals will be introduced. In addition, monitoring by setting the grid will get quantitative data seasonally. The vegetation survey will be conducted with a mobile device contained files of aerial image maps including classified vegetation map. National Ecosystem Survey will be improved as follows. First, each survey methods suitable for the purpose should be developed. Second, monitoring methods for obtaining quantitative data should be developed. Finally, the research using the data should be developed in the field of not only ecosystem and biological diversity but also habitat assessment.

2006년부터 5년 계획으로 시작한 제3차 전국자연환경조사를 비롯한 우리나라 자연 환경조사의 실태와 일본, 독일, 미국, 영국의 자연환경조사체계를 비교 검토하였다. 국내 여건을 토대로 선진 외국과 우리나라 조사체계를 비교 검토한 결과, 생물종 중심의 자연환경조사에서 벗어나 서식지, 생태계 및 생태권역에 대한 조사를 실시하고, 나아가 위성영상이나 항공사진을 이용하여 토지자원의 공간분포를 주기적으로 파악하여야 할 것이다. 특히 위성영상은 생물종, 서식지, 생태계 조사를 위한 기초 자료로 활용하여야 한다. 조사내용 확대 및 다양한 정보수집을 위해 다방면의 전문인력을 확보하고, 지역주민의 자연환경 보전의식을 고취시키기 위해 자원봉사자의 참여를 유도해야 할 것이다. 전국에 걸친 생물종 및 생태계 조사, 데이터베이스 구축은 물론 자료의 분석 가공을 통해 자연환경정책 수립이나 생물다양성 국제협약에 대처하기 위해서는 독립된 전문조사기관의 설립이 필요하다. 전문조사기관의 설립을 통해서 물리적인 서식환경을 포함한 다양한 분야의 자연환경조사를 체계적으로 수행하고 생물다양성에 대한 종합적인 현황파악과 변화예측을 통해 보다 신속 정확한 자연환경 정보를 생성할 수 있을 것이다.

Baekdudaegan Mountain System (BDMS) is a unique and traditional concept in Korea that puts importance on the connectivity of energy when Korean people recognize their mountain system. Two main national organizations that are in charge of managing natural environment in Korea, Korea Forest Service (KFS) and Ministry of Environment (MoE), have been independently investigating the natural resources in protected areas of BDMS. Each organization released its first survey report for the whole protected areas in 2011. In order to provide better understanding of BDMS's natural environment, the results contained in the first reports of KFS and MoE were compared. It was found that KFS contains a wider variety of survey items, though many of the items are overlapped between the reports of KFS and MoE. It was noticeable that the survey results of KFS and MoE were not always matched even for the same or similar items in the identical target areas. The main causes of the different survey results are suggested to be the differences of the details of the survey conditions between KFS and MoE, such as the season of the surveys and the subjectivity of surveyors, and the type of literatures included in the indoor survey. As a result, it is difficult to directly compare the survey results of KFS and MoE, which leads to low usability of the data and low efficiency of the survey processes. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that the sections and methodologies of survey should be clearly set with consideration for the research purposes. The survey data and geographical information should be digitalized and opened to the public for better accessibility to BDMS information. Also, the survey reports should include English summary, thereby the results can be utilized globally for scientific, cultural and political purposes, such as designation of a heritage site.

Since the CBD(Conservation on Biological Diversity)'s 10th Conference of the Parties adopted the protocol on access to genetic resources and benefit sharing in Nagoya 2010, the importance of endangered species studies such as habitat distribution, protection and management have been more emerged. Corylopsis coreana, an endangered species in Korea, was isolated nationally and has been damaged by anthropogenic factors. In this paper, we identified the factors affecting C. coreana habitat at the national scale and regional scale using National Survey of Natural Environment and predicted the distribution of C. coreana. Annual precipitation, precipitation of wettest quarter, temperature seasonality and Digital Elevation Model(DEM) were derived as important factors at the national scale, and precipitation of wettest quarter, DEM and solar radiation on spring were identified as important factors at regional scale. Colylopsis distribution was affected by an effect of climate significantly at the national scale, and by additionally the microclimate and topography at regional scale. These findings will be used as the basis on habitat conservation and restoration plan and climate change.

본 연구는 태안해안국립공원과 순천만 거주자의 인식조사에 기초하여 연안습지의 현황을 평가하고 연안습지의 보전과 지속가능한 이용에 관한 기본틀 수립 및 향후 관리방안 설정을 위한 기초자료 수집의 목적으로 진행되었다. 이를 위해 주민 직접기입 방식의 설문조사를 실시하였고 총 98매(태안해안국립공원: 38매, 순천만: 60매)의 설문지가 유효 표본으로 이용되었다. 주민의 만족도 조사에서 자연환경은 순천만과 태안해안국립공원이 유사하게 나타나 두 지역간 만족도 차이는 없다고 할 수 있다. 그리고 생활환경도 비슷하게 나타났다. 뿐만 아니라 전체 환경에 대한 만족도는 순천만과 태안해안국립공원이 비슷하게 나타났다. 두 지역 주민들은 사회 경제환경에는 만족하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 연안습지에 대한 중요도를 묻는 질문에 두 지역 모두 중요하다고 답한 사람이 매우 높게 나타났다. 습지의 개발과 보전에 대하여 어떻게 인식하는지에 대한 결과로는 두 지역 모두 보전과 완전보전을 원하는 사람이 현재 습지나 자연환경의 보전이 잘되고 있는 것처럼 보전을 더욱 원한다는 것을 알 수 있다. 따라서 앞으로 연안습지의 개발과 보전에 대한 이상적인 관리방안을 제시할 때, 주변 환경이 양호한 순천만과 같은 경우에는 현재 상태를 유지하면서 최소한의 개발을 유도하여야 하며, 태안해안국립공원과 같이 양호한 자연환경과 개발 잠재력이 있는 공존지역은 습지생태계를 보전하면서 자연과 어우러지는 개발 즉, 지속가능한 개발과 생태관광지로 유도되어야 할 것이다.

This research aimed for revealing social interaction-based environmental learning elements at the natural history museum. First, we carried out a survey of the perceptual change about 'the environment' concept. It was for confirming whether environmental learning occurred in visiting. Second, we found environmental learning elements through analyzing dialogues among small group members during looking around the museum. Social interaction-based environmental learning elements were classified into five; knowledge, affection, value, skill, behaviour. Each environmental learning element included several sub-elements, so we revealed totally 9 environmental learning sub-elements. By results, we said characteristics and possibility of the natural history museum as an informal environmental educational institution. It is meaningful for extending areas of environmental education.

The world's overall need for natural gas (NG) has been growing up fast, especially in the residential sector. The better the estimation of residential NG consumption (RNGC) distribution, the better decision-making for a residential NG policy such as pricing, demand estimation, management options and so on. Approximating the distribution of RNGC is complicated by zero observations in the sample. To deal with the zero observations by allowing a point mass at zero, a mixture model of RNGC distributions is proposed and applied. The RNGC distribution is specified as a mixture of two distributions, one with a point mass at zero and the other with full support on the positive half of the real line. The model is empirically verified for household RNGC survey data collected in Korea. The mixture model can easily capture the common bimodality feature of the RNGC distribution. In addition, when covariates were added to the model, it was found that the probability that a household has non-expenditure significantly varies with some variables. Finally, the goodness-of-fit test suggests that the data are well represented by the mixture model.
