Jeju Batdam Agricultural System

Jeju island is a volcanic island located in the southernmost part of the Korean Peninsula. The topographic and geological characteristics of the volcanic island made Jeju, the barren island for farming. Jeju abundant with volcanic ash soil, rocks and winds. As farming started in Jeju, people utilized the stones in the soil, building longer than 22,000 kilometer-long Jeju Batdam or stone fences to prevent winds and the loss of soil and Jeju Batdam has contributed in preserving biodiversity and agricultural culture of Jeju. Jeju Batdam offers an outstanding vista of agricultural culture in Jeju with beautiful natural landscape, representing aesthetics of Jeju. Protected by Jeju Batdam, agriculture on Jeju Island has survived natural disasters over 1,000 years, but now faces newer challenges like farm land arrangement and widespread urbanization. Registration of the world’s one and only about 22,000km black dragon stone fences called Jeju Batdam on the GIAHS would provide such opportunities in sustaining the agricultural heritage of Jeju Batdam itself and agriculture of Jeju per more effective and efficient preservation application of Jeju Batdam.
