Ⅰ. Background and Aims of Research
o Research necessity
ㅇDespite the fragmentation of administrative management systems and lack of public interest, along with various demands for policy and institutional improvements to address issues such as natural disasters, environmental management, and regional development, there is an urgent need to establish an integrated management system for estuarine and coastal areas due to the scattered nature of environmental information.
- Major rivers and streams are blocked from water circulation by structures like dams, leading to various environmental and ecological issues. Initiatives for ecosystem restoration, including the opening of estuarine dams, are being promoted.
-An integrated management system interconnected with terrestrial activities, such as addressing environmental pollution sources, terrestrial waste generation, water resource development, and usage in estuaries and coastal areas, is necessary.
- The demand for research to enhance responses to complex disasters and ecosystem changes resulting from sea level rise and coastal erosion due to climate change is rapidly increasing.
o Research objectives
- Establishing an integrated environmental information system for the sustainable management of estuarine and coastal areas in response to climate crisis
-Building a nationwide integrated environmental information management system to address rapid environmental changes in estuarine and coastal areas resulting from the restoration of major rivers alongside adaptation measures for climate change
-Integrating and managing enviro
