The inter-Korean border regions within the Korean Peninsula possess unique characteristics where their development levels and impacts on regional industry and economy are significantly influenced by changes in inter-Korean relations and international circumstances. Therefore, systematic and planned land use measures are necessary, and analysis of land characteristics from a future-oriented perspective is required as a preliminary step. Against this background, this paper aims to review the current status of overlapping regulations in border regions and propose directional guidelines for land management by type and scenario, considering both internal and external conditions through land characteristic analysis using satellite data. The research results identified four types of land management patterns based on scenariospecific changes in land characteristics: “Continuous Development Type”: Areas where development pressure continues or increases both currently and in the future. For existing urban areas, urban maintenance or planned management is necessary, while suburban areas may consider implementing growth management plans. “Future Management Type”: Areas where current development pressure is high but relatively decreases in the future, requiring preventive management for declining areas. “Future Development Type”: Areas where current development pressure is low but increases with improved inter-Korean relations. These areas need growth management planning from a long-term perspective, and should implement planned and efficient land use measures through active utilization of land banking systems. “Continuous Conservation Type”: Areas expected to maintain low development pressure both currently and in the future. These areas should consider continued application of conservation-oriented regulations, taking into account their superior environmental and ecological characteristics.
