Land use management and cultural value of ecosystem services in Southwestern Korean islands

---

There are widespread tidal flats along the southwestern coast of Korea. At the provincial
level, Jeonnam region has the largest tidal flat area, of which the main part is located in Shinan-gun,
a municipality consisting of only islands. This area, including its tidal flats, has a high species diversity
as well as a high cultural. However, the various important ecological functions of tidal flats are
not recognized, as in most cases the tidal flats are utilized simply as reclaimed land. During the period
of Japanese colonialism in the 20th century large-scale reclamation of tidal flats took place in
Shinan-gun, and rice was produced on the land that was reclaimed. From the standpoint of ecological
services, tidal flats can be more than agricultural fields. Even though tidal flats have not yet been
analyzed from the cultural perspective so much, their value can be expected to be very high. As an
aggregation of a variety of ecological functions that occur by ecological processes, tidal flats have
the better value in terms of ecological services than other land uses. This new, richer understanding
of the value of tidal flats should be a stimulus to maximize its value by thoughtful landscape
management and planning.
