Identification of Ecological Characteristics of Vegetation Distributed in Mt. Chilbosan, Gyeonggi-do

“…While development-oriented urban plans to accommodate and disperse the growing population resulted in the early establishment of urban infrastructure, the living environment in cities deteriorated, causing damage to nature, destruction of ecological balance, and a lack of leisure space (Yeom and Park, 2011). This caused microclimate phenomena such as urban heat islands, leading to quantitative and qualitative declines in the environment, including the proliferation of invasive species due to abnormal climate, simplification of vegetation structure, and reduction of species diversity, as well as forest fragmentation and loss of ecological buffer zones attributable to the indiscriminate development (Oh et al, 2005;Oke, 1997;Cho, 1997).…”
