A Study of Establishing an International Ecological Peace Park in Korean DMZ

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This article explores an international ecological peace park such as a transboundary biosphere reserve of UNESCO’s Man and Biosphere (MBA) or transborder protected areas of IUCN(International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resource), and carries out a feasibility study on establishing an international ecological peace park in the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). The main purpose of this study is to make good use of the Korean DMZ not only as a natural environmental treasure but also as a peace education site. It takes a comparative case study of Poland, through field trips and interviews with local officers, and an international legal analysis regarding the legal status of the DMZ as well.
