A Study on Land Use Approaches for Wildlife Zoonotic Disease Response
Ⅰ. Introduction
1. Importance of the study
o The second-year research findings underscore the significance of land use changes as a major factor in zoonotic infectious diseases.

o However, the current plans and policies related to zoonotic infectious diseases in South Korea, which advocate for One Health, have not actively addressed the aspect of land use.

o These policies and plans exhibit shortcomings in considering and implementing measures based on the correlation between humans and the environment, particularly the relationship between land use and zoonotic infectious diseases, from a One Health perspective.

2. Objectives of the study
o The primary objective of this study is to identify areas at risk for zoonotic infectious diseases, particularly Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), resulting from changes in land use.

o Additionally, the study aims to propose One Health-based measures to mitigate these risks.
Ⅱ. Characteristics and Transmission Routes of Avian Influenza
o Understanding the characteristics of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza, including the transition from Low Pathogenic Avian Influenza to Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza, patterns of long-distance transmission, virus transmission and infection patterns, cases of human infections, and intermediate hosts in the spread of avian influenza

o Building an illustrative model of pathways for human infections of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza, considering the characteristics of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza and the impact of land use changes on infection and transmission

Ⅲ. Locating Points o
