토석채취사업 훼손지 현황 및 복원 방향 제안- 인천 부평 개발제한구역 내 자연환경복원사업 사례 연구 -

개발제한구역 내 토석채취 훼손지의 현황을 진단하고 복원 방향을 제안했다.

The Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework’s Action Target 2 aims to restoreat least 30% of degraded ecosystems by 2030. In line with this international trend, the Ministry ofClimate, Energy and Environment and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport arepromoting polices forrestoring the natural environment within greenbelt zones. The aim of this study is to diagnose mountainous areas degraded by quarrying operations within the Bupyeong greenbeltzone in Incheon and propose restoration directions. We analyzed the physical characteristics,physiognomic vegetation map, land-cover changes, and land-use changes associated with policy shifts.

The site underwent severe disturbance due to rock and soil extraction projects conducted between1969 and 1971, causing severe disturbance and creating a landscape that is heterogeneous anddisconnected from the surrounding intact forest. After remaining largely abandoned for about 55years, it was used as a foot volleyball court before being backfilled and planted with Pinus koraiensisseedlings in 2025. The site is broadly divided into natural forest, degraded areas, and artificially plantedforest with restoration plans proposed for each type. The western natural forest is proposed to beconserved as a reference ecosystem.

For the central degraded area, active restoration is proposed,involving slope stabilization, soil improvement, and planting native tree species. For the easternplanted forest, passive restoration is proposed, focusing on promoting succession through forest gapplanting. The results of this study can serve as baseline information for implementing similar naturalenvironment restoration projects in greenbelt zones.
