Biotope map is a map to use basis material for management and urban planning of cities. Biotope map has been studied in Korea, since 1998. Seoul metropolitan government made Biotope map in 2000. They used biotope map for management and urban planning of Seoul. Biotope map was emphatic on the importance of preservation area. And so it is difficult to apply to management of the ready-made town, which doesn't have preservation area. The biotope map of Seoul is the same. Then the purpose of this study is developing the method of evaluation for biotope in the ready-made town.
The site of this study is Gae-po town of Seoul. The biotope map is made by the comprehensive biotope mapping method. The evaluation method of biotope was deduced from the method of Seoul and Germany. The evaluation criteria include the conservation of nature, landscape, biological diversity and biotope, and secure of recreation and leisure space.
In the result of this evaluation method, 15.3% of the whole research area is actively possible development area, 6.7% is buffer area, and 18.8% is area of recreation and leisure space or green space. The other area(59.8%) is green space primarily.
As the result of this study, this biotope evaluation method is possible to apply to ready-made town of Seoul. But this study has a limit which the study was executed in only one site. Seoul has other many characteristics of ready-made towns beside of Gae-po town. Therefore we have to extend research area and make a detailed evaluation method. If we continue such as this study, the application of biotope map will be possible in management of ready-made town.
