Abstract
 Application of the National Environmental Assessment Map in Korea Track: Environmental Management Author(s): Lee Jin, Hyun Jung Hong, Seongwoo Jeon, Wonkyong Song, Byungjin Kang, Chongsoo Lee This study was performed for developing the National Environmental Assessment Map (NEAM) in Korea and presenting the application method of NEAM. This NEAM adopted the least indicator method and uses ArcGIS 9.0. This map is made through evaluation of 67 items. As a result, the construction of NEAM was defined as a process of identifying land use to scientifically assess the physical and environmental value of land and classify conservation value into several grades for the sustainable management of environmental resources. After applying NEAM criteria of five degrees to the whole of Korea, Grade ?, showing the highest conservation value, accounted for 45.6 percent by land area of NEAM. Grades ?, ?, ? and ?likewise accounted for, respectively, 23.6 percent, 17.9 percent, 6.3 percent and the lowest conservation value of 6.6 percent. This map can be widely used in urban and regional planning, development planning and environment impact assessment.
