These days, the demand of farm tours is on the rise in Korea. However, most of them are related to farming
experience. To overcome the situation, ecological experience is introduced. In this sense, it is necessary to obtain the
contents and educational materials of ponds, the space of farming and ecological experience. Therefore, this study
analyzed the use patterns of oriental medicine of pond wetland plants. Oriental medicine is used for old and
traditional knowledge, and is still applied to various fields, such as medical science, pharmacy, and science. The
analyzed result of this study will be helpful for the educational materials of ecological experience. This study surveyed
plants of 40 pond wetlands in rural areas, and looked into the use patterns of traditional medicine by using the
contents of Korea Traditional Knowledge Portal being operated by Korean Intellectual Property Office. According to
the vegetation survey of the 40 pond wetlands, there were a total of 457 taxa in 108 families, 309 genera, 392 species,
59 varieties, 5 forma, and 1 subspecies. Among them, 314 taxa in 53 families, 136 genera, 265 species, 45 varieties, 3
forma, and 1 subspecies had the information on the use patterns of traditional medicine. It means that 68.8% of the
plants around pond wetlands contain traditional medicine. Given other application patterns, such as food, handcraft
and traditional farming, more than 70~80% are expected to include traditional knowledge. 314 taxa used for
traditional medicine had 570 kinds of efficacy and 325 kinds of disease treatment. It means that one taxon has 4.0
(0~20) kinds of efficacy on average and 6.6(0~20) kinds of disease treatment. It is expected that this study result will be applied to various fields, including experience, education, and medical science. And it is considered that valuable
pond wetlands are worthwhile to be conserved constantly.
