Abstract

The purpose of this study is to propose land-use policy strategies for environmental friendly watershed management for Pyeongtaek Lake. Primary research methods are 1) review of plans related to the land uses around Pyeongtaek Lake, 2) review of concepts about environmental friendly land use methods, 3) examination of relevant cases in South Korea and other countries. After the review of existing plans related to Pyeongtaek Lake and surrounding watershed areas, we found the following: 1) application of growth management strategies for the area undesignated from Pyeongtaek Lake tourism sites, 2) consideration and application of developable areas and incentive-related growth management plan, 3) necessity for management of local run-off and non-point pollution sources for water circulation system in the watershed. Based on the observation we derived the following conclusions: 1) we need land use management strategies especially for residential areas based on Low Impact Development, 2) land use strategies based on the combination of urban planning and institutional tools, 3) application of LID is necessary through incentives and requirement. We advise that due to the limited nature of literature review, further studies from quantitative approaches for environmental friendly land use management strategies are necessary in the future.
