Area Analysis by Grade and Province of the Ecology and Nature Map (2022-2025)

In this study, we analyzed the changes in area by province and grade in the Ecology and Nature Map, which was published through a periodic public notice from 2022 to 2025. The results of the analysis showed that the area of each province and grade did not change significantly, indicating a generally stable trend, but only a few provinces showed small increases and decreases in area. This means that the ratings of the Ecology and Nature Map are not subject to rapid changes in the short term and are based on consistent evaluation criteria and procedures. The publicly available data allows users who have difficulty using Geographic Information System (GIS)-based spatial data to intuitively access area information by grade. In addition, the change in area by grade was compared by year to show the potential for use in the field of public administration and environmental planning.
