These day there are a lot of constructions for road and highway in South Korea, and it makes more slopes. These slopes which are made from road construction should be consider aboutits environmental impacts as vegetation variation, sediment discharge and landscape view. However, tree-planting is uniformed in method of construction and applied every slopes in South Korea without any concern about the environment and landscape, so it affects environment and landscape. Therefore, it is needed to draw up the plan which is eco-friendly and ecological.
Generally, tree-planting for road slopes should be based on restoration of an ecosystem, wildlife habitat, and preservation of landscape in vegetation and methods of construction. However, the trends of South Korea's tree-planting is not enough to adapt to various construction sites, so it is happened that the tree-planting is failed or devastated.
Recently, the guideline for EcoTeera method of construction which is made for restoration of environment and ecosystem, amenity and stability for human takes effect by way of showing an example. This guideline regulates three major rules. At first, adaption of method for construction should be chosen by environmental characteristics, so it can be habitats for wildlife. Second, the vegetation for tree planting should introduce the species which is naturally grow in the construction site, because the existing method of construction usually introduced western grass which is not suitable for wildlife habitats. Thirdly, the restoration goal should be clearly planned so that the suitable method of construction can be chosen.
Thus, this study experimentally adapt the Ecoteera method with other exsting methods to the research site to compare the effectiveness. With the result of adaptation, this study purposes to find suitable method of construction and to monitor the vegetation of each method to improve the the quality of tree-planting.
