“…Therefore, ecological grade information in ENM can be utilised by policy-makers to prepare a land-use plan that regulates excessive developments. Public users will be able to predict and plan for land-use projects where development can be restricted in a similar way ( Ahn et al 2015 ).…”

Environmental crisis challenges the human race harder than ever before. Ecologists have produced a massive amount of data to cope with the crisis. Accordingly, many national scale ecological database systems have been developed worldwide to manage and analyse these datasets. However, in Korea, ecological datasets produced by different research institutes for different purposes have not been integrated or serviced due to poorly designed information infrastructure. To address this obstacle, we present EcoBank (www.nie-ecobank.kr), an open, web-based ecological database platform designed to play an important role in ecosystem analysis, not only in Korea, but also worldwide. The architecture of EcoBank comprises core technologies of WebGIS, Application Programming Interface (API), responsive web and open-source software (OSS). Comprehensive ecological datasets from three different sources, including the National Institute of Ecology (NIE) in Korea, related national and international platforms and repositories, enter the three conceptual modules in EcoBank: data management, analysis and service. Diverse potential stakeholders of EcoBank can be classified into three groups: researchers, policy-makers and public users. EcoBank aims to expand its horizons through mutual communication amongst these stakeholders. We opened and launched the EcoBank service in December 2019 and have now begun to broaden its network by linking it to other data platforms and repositories over the globe to find possible solutions to ecological issues in Korea.

“…To recognize and overcome this problem, an appeal system was established from the time the first ENM was produced; however, the system is still maturing. In contrast to other thematic maps, the impact of time delay is bound to be greater because the two elements of change in the natural environment and expert evaluation are reflected simultaneously (Ahn et al 2015).…”

“…Nevertheless, given that the renewal announcement in 2022 incorporates the results of the 5th SNE at a 1:5,000 scale (more advanced than the existing 1:25,000 scale), it is uncertain whether the decreasing trend in appeals from 2021 to 2022 will persist. Therefore, it is necessary to observe this trend (Ahn et al 2015;Jung et al 2017). According to a recently published paper (Kang et al 2023), the scope of 1st-grade area writing ENM has become more detailed by revising guidelines (2023 compared to 2021).…”

“…Unusually, appeals to downgrade the ENM resulted in the disappearance of the existing 1st-grade areas at a rate of 71.5%. Because the appeal investigation is performed at a 1:5,000 scale, which is considered to simultaneously capture more precise observations and timely changes in biota than the 1:25,000 scale utilized in the existing ENM (Ahn et al 2015).…”

The integration and management of various national ecological assessments are essential for the benefit of the public. In the Republic of Korea, the Ecological and Natural Map (ENM) serves as a comprehensive platform that synthesizes the results of national ecosystem surveys into a unified system interface. To provide the current status and characteristics of our policy, we analyzed the ENMs and related appeals from 2014 to 2022. Following their implementation, the ENM Guidelines underwent nine revisions, with most of the revisions pertaining to appeals. Nine public announcements were made regarding the ENM, resulting in a gradual expansion of the conservation area. The data also showed a consistent increasing trend in appeals. Most of the 1st-grade areas in the ENM regions where appeals were filed have significantly decreased. The larger area or the smaller population density of an administrative distinct, the more appeals were filed. Our study presents information regarding the current status of the ENM system. The analysis of the operational direction and indicator trends across the 16-year period since the establishment of the system provides valuable insights for similar systems.
