This study was conducted to develop the predictive model for species richness of breeding birds by multivariate analysis of land covers (percentage value of each cover in 300 × 300m grid) including water area (WA), urbanized area (UA), green area (GA), forest area (FA) and agricultural area (AA) at Seongnam City in Korea. Fifty-nine species of birds were mapped on 155 grids in size of 300 × 300 m from 2000 to 2001. Species richness of breeding birds was significantly regressed (R²=0.85, n=155) by estimates of WA (4.59±1.13, P less than 0.0001), UA (6.50±0.86, P less than 0.0001), GA (7.11±1.25, P less than 0.0001), FA (8.51±0.62, P less than 0.0001), and AA (4.59±1.13, P less than 0.0001).
