Abstract

In this study, the assessment scheme has been developed to evaluate the ecological function of rivers which were changed by the river improvement project. The evaluating factors are composed of physical structure in river channels and ecological connectivity in river areas, and each value of the factors is quantified based on 4 and 2 variables, respectably. This scheme was applied to past (1918, before artificial river improvement) and present Mankyung River area. A GIS model was adopted for calculating, analysing, and presenting river ecological conditions using the 204 grids and 7 reaches in study area. Comparison results show that the evaluation grade was decreased in both factors after river improvement. The main causes of lower grade (from II to IV) for physical structure are the river straightening and crossing structures. The reduction (from II to III) in ecological connectivity grade effected by linear fragmentation due to roads and rails is found to be greater than areal fragmentation due to land-use. In particular, it is also found that a high degree of ecological connectivity in 1918 was distributed along the river, but that one in 2007 showed a tendency to scatter because of the construction of levee and increase of urbanized area.

본 연구에서는 과거 자연하천에서 개수 후 현재 정비하천으로 변화된 하천공간의 생태기능을 비교 평가할 수 있는 방법을 제안하고 그 적용성을 검토하였다. 생태기능 평가는 하도 중심의 물리구조와 하천공간의 생태연결성으로 구성하였고, 각각 4개와 2개 평가항목을 토대로 평가기준에 따라 정량화 하였다. 평가방법의 적용은 하천개수 전인 1918년과 대규모 하천개수사업이 종료된 현재의 만경강 하천공간에 204개 격자와 7개 하도구간을 설정하고 GIS 분석기능을 활용하여 수행하였다. 그 결과, 물리구조와 생태연결성은 각각 평균 2등급에서 4등급, 2등급에서 3등급으로 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 물리구조의 주된 악화 원인은 직강화와 그에 따른 하천 횡단구조물의 건설에 의한 것으로 파악되었고, 생태연결성 악화는 도로와 철도 등에 의한 선적 단절요인이 토지이용에 의한 면적 단절요인보다 비교적 더 크게 작용한 것으로 확인되었다. 특히, 생태기능이 높은 격자들을 기준으로 하천공간을 살펴볼 때, 1918년의 생태 연결성은 하천을 축으로 분포되어 있었음을 알 수 있으나, 2007년은 제방 축조와 도시화된 지역의 증가로 산포하는 경향을 나타났다.
