Abstract

This study analyzed field researches made by the MOF(Ministry of Ocenas and Fisheries) on uninhabited islands. It also covers surveys conducted by our ministry of environment and of Japan and China. The study focuses on finding an improvement plan that can solve problems raised from the second field research on uninhabited islands. In our country, field researches on uninhabited islands is not systematic, especially in terms of subjects and methods. Some of the typical problems of previous researches was that they would miss out a few islands due to the lack of total inspection. Also, field researches on natural environment of the islands were carried out more than twice. Thirdly since most of them were mainly based on the “National Natural Environment Survey Guide”made by the ministry of environment, the results failed to reflect peculiarities of specific islands. Compared to the field researches conducted in Japan and China, our ministry of environment needs more improvement in total inspection, composite data building and scientific and systematic research. Improvements for the database construction are firstly a total inspection on the islands, including the unlisted ones, and secondly an investigation on each administrative district in regards to their density. Also, giving each island an address is essential. Thirdly, DB construction for this islands needs to be more systematic, continuous and complex. Thus, it should be administrated by the MOF(Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries) in cooperation of other related divisions. Last of all, field research must proceed in parallels of natural environment survey, socio-beneficial evaluation and type suitable management. Lastly, land and marine areas must be investigated together in the research. Land area includes terrane, geology, landscape and land-life, while the marine area includes sea-life and the surrounding sea area. To synthesize them, it is necessary to perform researches on uninhabited island itself and its surrounding area.
