The Landscape Ecological Assessment Model and its Application

초록

Segregation and fragmentation of the urban ecological landscape can cause a reduction of biodiversity and result in negative impacts on the atmosphere, energy, water, soil, and ecology. As a result, the quality and functions of the natural landscape can deteriorate, and its aesthetic value can decline. These problems can be resolved by utilizing a landscape ecological approach that minimizes the urban development impacts. This study suggests the landscape ecological assessment model for the stability and bio-diversity of the urban environment. There are four stage of this study: First, important evaluation criteria and standards for landscape ecology were selected. Second, to evaluate landscape ecological performance of an urban area, the landscape ecological assessment model was established. Thirdly, to verify the effectiveness of the model, a case study was conducted using the established assessment model on Byulne City in the Seoul Metropolitan Area. Finally, management policies are suggested to create environment-friendly urban development. The assessment model developed in this study can be used as the basis for analyzing spatial plans and policies and can be viewed as the embodiment of scientific and systematic evaluation through the linking of landscape ecology theory and urban development. It can also contribute toward the preparation of policies regarding environment-friendly planning.
