Abstract PDF: The Gochang-gun biotope map was used as a benchmarking model when preparing a county unit in the future, and was prepared for the purpose of constructing detailed spatial data for eco-friendly urban management and efficient management and value improvement of cultural assets. The purpose of this study is to provide data so that it is used as basic data for the distribution status of animals and plants and the systematic management of endangered wild animals. As a result of the survey of animals and plants in Gochang-gun, a total of 255 species of 88 families and 184 genera appeared. A total of eight families and 14 species of mammals appeared. A total of 32 families and 52 species of birds appeared. A total of nine and 26 species of fish appeared, and five species endemic to Korea appeared. Six and seven species of amphibians and reptiles appeared, respectively, and one species of exotic specices appeared. A total of 26 species of benthic large-scale vertebrates appeared, and three species endemic to Korea appeared. As for endangered wild creatures, two species of plants, six species of birds and three species of mammals appeared. It is judged that the data on animals and plants based on the urban ecological status map of Gochang-gun can be used as basic data for environmental policy decisions such as the management of ecosystem disturbances in Gochang-gun, the protection of endangered wild creatures, and the protection and restoration of plant and plant habitats.

Gochang-gun, situated in Korea, has achieved the distinction of being the second city in the country to have all three UNESCO-designated natural environmentrelated World Heritage Sites, following in the footsteps of Jeju Island. UNESCO has conferred upon Gochang-gun the prestigious designations of a biosphere reserve, World Natural Heritage (Gochang-Buan mudflat), and World Geopark (Jeonbuk West Coast Geopark). Notably, the entire administrative district has been designated as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, signifying its role as a meticulously preserved region of outstanding natural beauty and ecological significance. Within this UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the core areas encompass remarkable features, including the Gochang-Buan Mudflat, Ungok Wetland, Dolmen World Cultural Heritage sites, Seonunsan Provincial Park, and Dongrim Reservoir. In pursuit of a comprehensive ecological map of Gochang-gun, the National Institute of Ecology (NIE) conducted an extensive two-year ecological survey and biotope survey from 2021 to 2022. Ecological spatial data was meticulously compiled based on the results of these surveys. The resulting Biotope map provides detailed information on various attributes, encompassing Biotope types, Biotope grades, land cover status, land use status, and topographic details. This dataset is formally registered and rigorously managed, employing the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) system. The primary aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive introduction to each attribute of the Gochang-gun Biotope map, which represents a detailed collection of spatial ecology data for the region. The intent is to make this data readily accessible for future research and studies, thereby advancing our understanding of Gochang-gun’s distinctive ecological and cultural heritage.
