Spatial Cognition of Residents towards the Conservation Area of Upo Wetland

Abstract: Wetlands are being negatively affected by various human activities such as reclamation, construction of levees, and conventional agricultural activities. Upo Wetland is the largest inland wetland in the Republic of Korea (hereinafter Korea). It has not only been designated as a wetland protection area by the Wetland Conservation Act of Korea but also registered as a Ramsar Site in 1998. In this study, cognitive mapping of the Upo Wetland and surrounding areas was applied to identify sensitive and vulnerable ar… Show more

“…As a representative wetland protected by the Ramsar Convention, Upo provides a habitat for various wild animals and plants. It is a conservation area with hydrological value; water is stored in the wetland soil during the rainy season or floods and then continuously supplied to the surrounding area during the dry season 27 , 28 . Based on these ecological assets, conflicts occur in the Upo Wetland because stakeholders value ecosystem services differently depending on their interests.…”

“…On one hand, the degradation of the water environment of the Upo Wetland is caused by non-point and point sources of pollution including intensive agriculture, littering, and various factories situated around the wetland (Jun, 2017;Ministry of Environment Korea, 2002;Nakdong River Basin Environmental Office, 2011). On the other hand, the Upo Wetland living environment consists of a wide range of community activities, including cultural and economic activities, which are restricted due to the conservationoriented policy (Gyeongsangnamdo Development Institute, 2007; Jun, Lee et al, 2019).…”

“…The concept is fundamental in the studies of spatial orientation. Jun, Lee, et al (2019) used cognitive mapping as a way to identify areas of land that could contribute to sustainable management of rural communities. Other researchers (Bendjedidi, Bada, et al, 2019) used behavioural (cognitive) mapping alongside space syntax to redesign an urban plaza according to the wishes of the users.…”
