Abstract PDF: In this study, we analyzed the changes in area by province and grade in the Ecology and Nature Map, which was published through a periodic public notice from 2022 to 2025. The results of the analysis showed that the area of each province and grade did not change significantly, indicating a generally stable trend, but only a few provinces showed small increases and decreases in area. This means that the ratings of the Ecology and Nature Map are not subject to rapid changes in the short term and are based on consistent evaluation criteria and procedures. The publicly available data allows users who have difficulty using Geographic Information System (GIS)-based spatial data to intuitively access area information by grade. In addition, the change in area by grade was compared by year to show the potential for use in the field of public administration and environmental planning.

In this study, spatial distribution analysis was conducted on the landforms that appear within the 1st grade area using the ecology and nature map of 2023. As a result, a total of 97 landforms including tidal flat and incised meander were identified as unit landforms, and a total of 1,490 sites were distributed. The spatial distribution by administrative region was highest in Gangwon-do with 273 sites (12.8%), and by unit landform, cliff (173 sites), stream cliff (129 sites), and sea cliff (100 sites) were the most distributed. These landforms are cliffs found in mountainous, riverine, and coastal areas, respectively, and are characterized by their high geomorphological conservation value due to their large scale and geometric shape compared to other terrains. In terms of spatial distribution by landform type, stream landforms (501 sites, 33.6%) accounted for the largest proportion, and there were 24 units landforms. The results obtained can be utilized for future designation of expanded ecosystem protection areas or ecosystem monitoring surveys, along with continued landform conservation.
