Geological and geomorphological studies were conducted on 50 uninhabited islands around Daeheuksando and Hongdo. The geomorphological investigation showed the geographical features along coast line for each uninhabited island. Geological relation between two great island - Daeheuksando and Hongdo - was analyzed using geological features such as fault, bedding, fracture and unconformity examined throughout the study area.

This survey was conducted as a sector study of a reasonable management plan for uninhabited islands. we conducted bird surveys at 233 uninhabited islands of Shinan-gun, Jindo-gun, Wando-gun in Jeollanam-do from May to October, 2012. In this study, total 26 family and 39 species were observed. Among them three bird species, falcon, eagle owl, oyster catcher belonged in endangered category I and II which is protected by the law in Korea, and four species, tattler, storm petrel, streaked shearwater, oyster catcher which are Near Threatened (NT) according to IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature) Red List (2015) were observed. Uninhabited islands are used as habitats of many resident and/or stopover birds and need to be conserved and protected from destroying by human outdoor activities. This survey is to aim at making a comprehensive plan to conserve these islands if necessary.

There are 3,358 islands in Korea and about 85% of them are uninhabited islands. Concerning this, Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs (MLTM) has been seeking not only to settle the fundamental policy on the preservation, the utilization, and the development of the uninhabited islands but also to search the proper types of management suitable for the specialities by inhabited islands. Accordingly, we participated the humanities and sociological research from May 2012 to January 2013 by MLTM intended for 171 uninhabited islands belonging to Mokpo City, Yeosu City, Jindo-Gun, and Shinan-Gun for the purpose of the effective management and utilization of the uninhabited islands. In this treatise, we report the result of the humanities and sociological research about twenty six uninhabited islands nearby Hong-do island.

다도해지역인 신안군 임자면 임자도 일대 19개 무인도서에서 나비를 조사하여 총 5과 11속 14종을 확인하였다. 호랑나비과 (Papilionidae) 나비가 5종으로 가장 많았으며, 다음으로는 부전나비과 (Lycaenidae)가 4종, 흰나비과 (Pieridae), 네발나비과 (Nymphalidae)는 2종, 팔랑나비과 (Hesperiidae)는 1종이 나타났다. 본 조사의 우점종은 남방부전나비 (Pseudozizeeria maha), 푸른부전나비 (Celastrina argiolus), 먹부전나비 (Tongeia fischeri), 호랑나비 (Papilio xuthus), 청띠제비나비 (Graphium sarpedon)이며, 이들 중 청띠제비나비는 서남해안 일부지역에서만 서식하여 한반도 내에서 서식 분포가 매우 좁은 종이다. 나비의 분포는 섬의 면적에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으나, 종 공급원과의 거리나 최고 고도와 유의한 관계는 나타나지 않았다. 환경변화에 따른 종의 확산을 알아보기 위하여 이들 지역에 대한 지속적인 생태 모니터링이 필요하다.

전라남도 신안군은 전국에서 가장 많은 총 1004개의 도서가 위치하고 있다. 이처럼 국내 대부분 섬들은 일정한 지역에 밀집이 되어있으나 각각의 섬들은 육지 또는 타도와 격리되어 있기 때문에 생물상의 조사는 생물지리학적으로 매우 중요하다. 특히 섬 생태계에서 곤충류의 종다양성은 조류를 포함한 상위포식자의 생태계 먹이 안정성에 매우 중요한 역할을 한다고 볼 수 있다. 본 연구는 전라남도 신안군 도초면 일대 28개 무인도서의 곤충상을 확인하여 무인도서의 보존 및 관리방안 설정에 따른 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다. 조사된 28개 무인도서의 곤충류 출현 양상은 총 12목 60과 122종 921개체가 조사되었으며 가도에서 9목 22과 32종으로 가장 높게 나타났다. 특정 곤충종의 출현 현황은 국내 미기록 1종, 남방계 특성종 3종, 해안사구 지표종 1종, 기후변화 지표종 1종이 조사되었다.

This study focuses on the investigation of geological, geographical, and topographical features of uninhabited islands in the Buan Coast, located between Byeonsan offshore and Sangwangdeung-ri of Wido-Myeon. The islands contain typical coastal geographical and topographical features such as seastack, tafoni, sea cliff, erosion cave, and notch. Geology of the islands consist mainly of sedimentary rocks and volcanic rocks, that indicate the geological history of the islands. This investigation allows the classification of island according to the importance of nature conservation of the islands.

This study was conducted to evaluate the growth conditions and vegetation of Peucedanum japonicum habitatin uninhabited islands of Incheon Korea. The emergence area of Peucedanum japonicum was 4.9m distance in coastline,and altitude and slope was 7.4m and 47.5%. Soil pH, organic matter and P2O5 of habitat were 7.1, 8.3% and 29.0㎎/㎏, andcontents of K, Ca, Mg and Na were 0.66, 4.9, 3.4 and 1.13cmol+/kg, respectively. Growth plants with Peucedanum japonicumwere total 55 taxa, and Gakeuldo in uninhabited islands was the most as 25 taxa. In growth plants with Peucedanumjaponicum, plants of over 25% frequence per plot were Miscanthus sinensis, Dendranthema boreale, Lilium lancifolium,Hemerocallis middendorffii, Elymus dahuricus, Cirsium japonicum var. maackii, Asparagus schoberioides, Gypsophila oldhamiana,Cocculus trilobus, Silene aprica var. oldhamiana, Artemisia capillaris, Crepidiastrum denticulatum and Sedum oryzifolium.The vegetation of Peucedanum japonicum habitat was classified into Aster spathulifolius community, Miscanthus sinensiscommunity, Dendranthema boreale community, Setaria viridis var. pachystachys community, Cirsium japonicum var. maackiicommunity and Hemerocallis middendorffii community.

This study was carried out to investigate the flora of uninhabited Island in the Deokjeok Archipelago. The vascular plants which were collected in 5 times (from Jun. 2009 to Apr. 2010) were identified as 350 taxa in total, including 89 families, 231 genera, 309 species, 5 subspecies, 31 varieties, and 5 forms. There were many useful plants such as 2 taxa of Korean endemics and 2 taxa of rare plants which were proposed by the Korea Forest Service. The specially determined plants which were categorized as 5 degrees in all by the Ministry of Environment appeared as 49 taxa; Degree Ⅴ was one taxon; Senecio nemorensis and Ⅳ was one taxon; Apocynum lancifolium and Ⅲ was 2 taxa; Stauntonia hexaphylla, Hylotelephium spectabile and Ⅰ was 45 taxa; Machilus thunbergii, Neolitsea sericea, Hedera rhombea, etc. Based on the plants which were approval objects when transfer overseas were 5 taxa, and 21 taxa of evergreen plants were recorded in the investigated area. The naturalized plants were identified as 15 taxa, and their naturalization ratio were found to be 4.2% respectively.

This study has found out the status of the environment ecology(topography structure. land-use, flora, plant community structure, wildbird) in 10 uninhabited islands(i.e. Kei island, Hadon island, Sangdon island, Daewa island, Hwanggang island, Naebi island, Oebi island, Prickly castor-oil tree island, Tongin island, Yuk island), Namhae-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do. Moreover, It has suggested ways of improving the environment ecology status by classifying the type of environment ecology about the degree of use and damage that based on the results of environment ecology survey. According to the results of topography structure survey, the survey site altitude was ranged within 1m~25m, otherwise, the radient was classified the rock area(.i.e. slope of less than 5˚ the dead level) and the slope area where is steep slope. Moreover, there was showed evenly a variety of aspect. Land-use were divided the field(Kei island), dry native grasslands(Hadon island), naturalized grasslands(Sangdon island), Pinus thunbergii community(Dacwa island, Hwanggang island, Naebi island, Yuk island), the rock area(Oebi island, Prickly castor-oil tree island, Tongin island). As the results of flora survey, the number of plant species were 30~115 species and the naturalized species were found 2~12 species in each site. The results of plant community structure analysis, The dominant species were Pinus thunbergii and Pinus densiflora were in upper tree layer, furthermore, it were Pinus thunbergii, Eurya japonica, Prunus sargentii, Celtis sinensis, Morus bombycis, ect. in cannopy tree layer. In shrub layer, the dominant species were Rosa multiflora, Rubus crataegifolius, Parthenocissus tricuspidata, etc. The status of wildbird bird, had been found 42 species 938 individuals, especially, there were Bubo bubo kiautschensis(natural monument No. 324) and Haematopus ostralegus osculans(natural monument No. 326). According to these synthetic results, we are able to classify the 5 types of environment ecology such as the natural coast forest that composed of Pinus thunbergii and Pinus densiflora(Daewa island, Hwanggang island, Naebi island, Oebi island, Tongin island, Yuk island), the field in vegetation area(Kei island), vegetation succession area of fallow field type(Hadon island), vegetation damage area by the forest fire and disturbance elements(Prickly castor-oil tree island), dominant naturalized species grassland by grazing cattle(Sangdon island).
