본 연구에서는 유전자, 종, 생태계, 문화로 구분한 4종류의 분류 기준에 따라 14 종류의 평가 지표를 선정하였고 이중 가치 평가가 가능한 11개 인자를 대상으로 화폐적 평가를 수행하였다. 산림생물다양성을 저해하는 부의 경제효과 인자인 산림훼손, 산불, 병충해, 산림전용과 국가의 전통지식 권리를 보상해주어야 하는 나고야의정서가 발효된다는 가정에서 비용을 산출한 결과, 2,545억 원으로 평가되었다. 산림생물다양성에 의한 양의 경제효과에는 바이오산업, 자생종, 임산물 생산, 보호구역, 산촌 소득적인 측면에서 이루어졌으며 그 가치는 연간 6조 7,200억 원으로 평가되었다. 산림생물다양성으로 인한 경제적 순편익은 연간 6조 4,655억 원으로 나타났다.

Land development policy in Korea, characterized by its supply-oriented policy, has driven rapid economic development. However, it has a negative impact on the natural environment across the country. Especially, as the introduction of quashi-farmland system with the deregulation of agricultural land development in the late 1990s, numerous unfavorable landscape features such as road, motels and apartment have emerged in the rural area. As those interfered irreversible rural landscapes have been expanded, the demand for well preserved rural landscapes have been increased. The objectives of this study, thus, is to suggest the mitigations between the land development and conservation of natural landscape. As such, this study examines the recognition of current rural landscape management status through 118 students with two groups of landscape architecture majored (50 people) and non-landscape majored (68). Both group express the negative impression of current rural landscape management system in general and they pointed out the major landscape problems are caused from inappropriate land use. However, in detail those two groups respond differently, for example, the first group selected the damaged landscape is the second cause of the landscape problem, while the other group selected the poorly maintained settlements. Based on the analysis of the survey, this study suggests 3 recommendations in order to improve the sustainable rural landscape as establishing the proper rural land use planning system, building local governments' capacity to actively participate in the rural landscape management, and preparing the landscape management plans considering area distinctive characteristics.
