Daebu Island (Korean: Script error: No such module "Lang".; RR: Script error: No such module "lang".Template:Category handler) is an island in the Yellow Sea, within the municipal borders of the city of Ansan, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea.
Geography
The island has a population of roughly 7,114 people and an area of 41.98 km².[1] Administratively, the island today is divided into five dong: Daebubuk-dong (Script error: No such module "Lang".Template:Category handler), Daebunam-dong (Script error: No such module "Lang".Template:Category handler), Daebudong-dong (Script error: No such module "Lang".Template:Category handler), Seongam-dong (Script error: No such module "Lang".Template:Category handler) and Pungdo-dong (Script error: No such module "Lang".Template:Category handler). The predominant industries are tourism and fishing.
The island is connected (via Seongam-do and Tan-do) to the mainland in the south-east by road bridges, to Hyeong-do (Script error: No such module "Lang".Template:Category handler) (and thence the mainland) in the north-east by several routes due to land reclamation efforts, and to Seonjae-do (Script error: No such module "Lang".Template:Category handler) (and thence Yeongheung Island (Script error: No such module "Lang".Template:Category handler) and others) to the west by a further road bridge.
Environment
Due to rising mudflats, the island has merged with neighbouring Seongam-do (Script error: No such module "Lang".Template:Category handler) and Tan-do (Script error: No such module "Lang".Template:Category handler). It is a Ramsar site and has also been designated an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because its intertidal mudflats support significant populations of breeding Chinese egrets, as well as of dunlins and common greenshanks on passage.[2]
History
During the Goryeo and Joseon Dynasties, Daebu Island was included in the old jurisdiction of Namyang. On March 1, 1914, it was transferred to Bucheon, and on July 1, 1973 responsibility was transferred to Ongjin County (which later became part of Incheon). On December 26, 1994 the island was moved into the jurisdiction of Ansan, where it remains today.[1]
Education
Daebu Island has three kindergartens, three elementary schools, one middle school and a high school.[1] The island (specifically Seongam-do) is also home to the Gyeonggi English Village's Ansan Camp, an immersion village for students from Gyeonggi Province.[3]
