For the zoning of natural ecosystem, Vegetation Index is calculated from the vegetation data surveyed on Baekdudaegan (Pijae-Doraegijae). Five factors-biodiversity, conservation value of the stand, environmental quality, longevity of the stand, site productivity- are considered in the calculation of Vegetation Index. Vegetation Index might be a useful zoning tool for management of Baekdudaegan. For Vegetation Index Ⅰ, 59 sample plots 52.2% of total 113 sample plots are belong to core area, 34 sample plots 30.1% and 20 sample plots 17.7% are belong to buffer zone and transition area, respectively. For Vegetation Index Ⅱ, 49 sample plots 43.4% of total 113 sample plots are belong to core area, 38 sample plots 33.6% and 26 sample plots 23.0% are belong to buffer zone and transition area, respectively.
