Abstract

We researched the vegetation restoration of 5 urban streams Mugeo-choen, Yaksa-choen, Yeocheon-choen, Myeongjeong-choen and Cheokgwa-choen in Ulsan established as nature-friendly streams by improving water quality and river environment. Ecological restoration effects have resulted from the establishment of streams, which involved supplying sufficient maintenance water for each streams, eliminating the covered sections, preventing the inflow of wastewater, doing vegetation composition, since 5 to 10 years ago. The vegetation inhabitations were compared according to the conditions of physical characteristics and water quality, inland and foreland. In the Cheokgwa-cheon, which is almost a natural river, the ecological integrity of the vegetation population has been maintained quite well. The Mugeo-cheon and the Meongjeong-cheon have cleanly shown the vegetation restoration effects resulting from supplying sustainable maintenance water and wastewater treatments. In the Yaksa-cheon and the Yeocheon-cheon, on the other hand, the vegetation restoration effects and inhabitations were low due to the inflow of wastewater and sledges in some part of stream though the improvement of water quality.

수질개선과 하천개수를 통한 자연형하천 조성으로 주민들의 친수공간으로 이용되고 있는 울산시의 5개 도시하천에 대해 식생을 조사하였다. 하천의 기하학적 특성이나 수질 및 제내지 및 제외지 등 주변여건과 식생의 활성화 등과의 상관관계를 조사하였다. 각 하천의 자연형하천 조성시기가 다르고 일천한 관계로 뚜렷한 정량적 상관관계를 얻을 수는 없었으나, 식생의 활성화 정도가 현하천의 수질과 제내지 및 제외지 등 주변 여건에 의한 차이점은 어느 정도 확인할 수 있었다. 자연상태에 가까운 척과천은 식생종류가 다양하였고, 수질과 주변 여건이 좋은 무거천과 명정천은 인위적 유지용수 공급과 개수공사에 의한 인공물이 많지만 식생의 활성화 정도가 좋았다. 반면에 수질이 나쁘거나 하폭과 둔치가 좁은 데도 무리하게 산책로 등을 조성하였던 여천천과 약사천은 식생의 종류가 다양하지 못하였고 활성화도 낮은 것으로 나타났다.
