| 摘要 | Environment Management Strategy for Han River Estuary in Korea Han River Estuary is located on the west coast of Korea. Compared to highly developed upper part of the estuary (Seoul Metropolitan Area), the lower part of the estuary, which is a part of Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) and Military Facility Protected Area (MFPA) has been preserved well since the Korean War. Recently, however, concerns on the possible degradation and destruction of this precious estuary were raised in public because military tension and increased economic cooperation between South and North Korea began encouraging local developments in this border area. In this aspect, this study aims to develop environmental management strategy to protect the natural integrity, function and value of the Han River Estuary from the surging local development pressures and demands. The estuary shows the natural abundance and biological diversity typically observed in macro-tidal environment and supports the local socio-economic needs. Total of 356.431km2 of estuarine wetlands support a wide range of internationally and nationally protected birds including 7 endangered species and 20 natural monuments such as White-naped crane, Chinese egret, and Black-faced spoonbill. In addition, rare plant species (Grewia sp., Leopard flower, Crypsinus sp., and etc.) and distinctive plant communities(Winter green and its relative species) are distributed in riparian or nearby terrestrial areas of the estuary. Several fishes such as River puffer, Horse-shoe crab and eel support the local commercial and recreational fisheries. At the same time, Panmunjeom and Mt. Odoo observation platform, which are historic sites of Korean War, draw many tourists from nearby Seoul Metropolitan areas. Rapid expansion of the Seoul Metropolitan area, which is reflected in statistics (5% increase in urbanized area and 50% increase in number of industry for the last 5 years) resulted in various environmental problems in the Han River Estuary. Nutrient enrichment (eutrophication), sediment contamination, malformed fishes, and increased floating debris are major water quality problems in the estuary. In addition, several natural environmental problems are identified, such as destruction of environmentally sensitive habitats by estuary development, blocking wildlife pathways or corridors between rivers and riparian areas by the river banks and military fences, and negative environmental impacts by the Singok Submerged Weir. It is expected that implementation of 'The DMZ Area Development Plan', development of new towns in the Gimpo and Paju areas, connection of South-North Korea transportation networks, and increasing demands of local tourism will be major environmental stresses in the estuary. This research suggested management vision, principles and strategies for the Han River Estuary based on the qualitative analysis by PSR and SWOT approaches and case studies. First of all, "Han River Estuary as a living place for naturally diverse and vivid, and socio-economically prosperous" was set as a management vision. Four management principles; sustainable, cooperative, ecosystem-based and integrated approaches were suggested to achieve the vision and eight management strategies were developed based on the principles: adaptation of precautionary policies and measures, encouragement of local stake-holder's participation, development of institutional management frameworks and systems, development and implementation of environmental survey/research/monitoring programs, designation of substantial environmental protection zones, development of a comprehensive 'Han River Estuary Environment Management Plan', development of habitat restoration strategies, and establishment of secure funding sources to support the estuary management. Management boundary of the Han River Estuary was defined as "the area from the down-stream watersheds of Jamsil Submerged Weir(landward) to the administ |
