본 연구는 국내에서 도시내 친자연공간의 조성시 방향성을 제시하기 위한 연구로서 일본 관동지방을 대상으로 하였다. 대상지는 6개의 사업유형으로 분류되었으며 이들 사업의 입안 배경을 파악하였다. 각 대상지의 기본구상, 환경조건 및 생태적 조건조사, 계획 및 설계(zoning)과 이용계획, 목표설정 및 관리계획), 자연환경의 정비, 관리, 모니터링에 대한 내용 및 기법을 분석하였다. 도시내에 자연과의 접촉공간 창출을 위해 계획이 수립되었으며 비오톱조성기법에 의해 환경이설형, 환경창출형, 환경개량형을 기본으로 하였다. 또한 현 환경과 생태계를 보전하면서 새로운 비오톱을 창출하는 형태가 가장 많았으며 조성계획시 목표종의 설정은 조성방향성을 명확히 하는데 핵심적인 사항으로 판단되었다.
This study has been conducted to propose the guidelines for development of ecological urban open space in Korea. The eastern area of Japan was studied as case area. It was classified into sex biotope types and the project background of each sites was analyzed. The contents and technique on the basis concept, survey of environmental and biotic condition planning and design(zoning and use planning, target selection and management), preparation and management of natural environment and management, and monitoring was analyzed. It was planned out the projects in order to create the nature experience space in urban area. It was found that development of ecological urban open space by the biotope creation technic was based on three types(environmental transfer, environmental creation, and environmental inprovement type). Also most cases of projects created the biotope by the conservation of the present enviroment and ecosystem. When the development of ecological urban open space was planned, selection of target species was seemed to very important that clearly propose to the guidelines.
