This paper proposes a method to speed up the document image binarization using a water flow model. The proposed method extracts the region of interest (ROI) around characters from a document image and restricts pouring water onto a 3-dimensional terrain surface of an image only within the ROI. The amount of water to be filed into a local valley is determined automatically depending on its depth and slope. The proposed method accumulates weighted water not only on the locally lowest position but also on its neighbors. Therefore, a valley is filed enough with only one try of pouring water onto the terrain surface of the ROI. Finally, the depth of each pond is adaptively thresholded for robust character segmentation, because the depth of a pond formed at a valley varies widely according to the gray-level difference between characters and backgrounds. In our experiments on real document images, the Proposed method has attained good binarization performance as well as remarkably reduced processing time compared with that of the existing method based on a water flow model.

To investigate the plant community structure of Chohangyoung valley in Soraksan National Park, thirty nine plots(each size was 100m$^{2}$) were set up and surveyed and to analyze the plant community characteristics of valley area and slope area, twenty five plots in five sites were set up and surveyed. According to DCA ordination techniques, the communities were six divided into community types, which were Pinus densiflora community, P. densiflora-Populus maximowiczii community, Po. maximowiczii-P. densiflora community, Po. maszimowiczii community, Fraxinus rhyuchophylla community, Quercus serrata community. Q. serrata community was only distrivuted at slope area and the others were distributied at valley area. The successional trend of six communities was not clearly inferred. Shannon's diversity was 0.9458~1.1769(unit area:500m$^{2}$), and soil acidity was pH 4.65~6.09 in surveyed areas. According to the belt-transect analysis, the dominant species of valley area were P. densiflora, Po. maximowiczii, but the dominant species of slope area was Q. serrata.

To investigate the forest structure of Guryongsa-Birobong area in Mt. Chiak, four districts were selected and forty-five plots were set up at the districts. The leading dominant species of District I, the valley forest in which users' density was very high. was Pinus densiflora. That of District II, the valley forest in which users' density was high. and Districs III, the valley forest in which entering was restricted recently. was Comus controversa. That of District III, the ridge forest in which users' density high, was Quercus mongolica. Species diversities of District I, II, III, and IV were 1.3252, 1.3736, 14421, and 1.2546, respectively. DCA ordination were showed that successional trends of tree species seem to be from Pinus densiflora through Quercus spp. to Carpinus laxtflora in ridge and midslope forest and from Pinus densiflora through Quercus spp. to Comtus controversa and Carpinus cordata.

Unrecorded fern species of Korean flora, Thelypteris interrupta (Willd.) K. Iwats. (Thelypteridaceae) and Dryopteris subexaltata (H. Christ) C. Chr. (Dryopteridaceae), were collected from Jeju island off the south coast of Korean peninsula and reported here. T. interrupta is most similar to T. acuminata (Houtt.) C. V. Morton in morphology, however, the two species are readily distinguishable by the plant color including rhizome, stipe base and spore, and the presence of glandular hair as well as the distribution pattern of sorus on lower leaf surface. D. subexaltata is also well distinguishable from its relatives, D. sparsa (D. Don) Kuntze, D. sabaei (Franch. & Sav.) C. Chr., and D. yakusilvicola Sa. Kurata by the presence of proliferation, shape of pinnae, distribution pattern of sori on lower leaf surface, and shape of indusium.

The Bulyeongsa Valley in Uljin-gun(Gyeungbuk) has a unique beautiful landscape and plentiful ecosystem, and Pinus densiflora for. erecta is distributed widely. Recently as the widening of national road in Bulyeongsa Valley, comprehensive survey is needed. So to investigate the forest distribution and structure, ninety-nine plots were installed and surveyed. Each plot size is $100m^2$. Important percentage analysis of the summarize results, vegatation of Bulyeung valley is found out that dominant species is Pinus densiflora mainly and Quercus variabilis and Quercus serrata are compatitive relation with Pinus densiflora partially. The analysis results of the actual vegetation and degree of green naturality(DGN) showed that Pinus densiflora community is 47.75%, and DGN 8 is 69.14% in total. From the above results, vegatation of Bulyeungsa valley is found out that dominant species is Pinus densiflora mainly, and Quercus variabilis and Quercus serrata are competitive relation with Pinus densiflora partially.

The avifauna of from Manbokdae to Siribong in Jiri Mountain part of Baekdudaegan, was surveyed from May to November, 2002. In total, we observed 901 birds, and they were consisted of 49 species,23 families and 7 orders. The largest number of birds were observed in valley and followed by in low ridge, Road, Agricultural area and high ridge. The dominant species were Great Tit (Parus major) and then Brambling (Fringilla montifringilla), Tree Sparrow (Passer montanus), Black-billed Magpie (Pica pica) and Long-tailed Tit (Aegithalos caudatus). The highest species diversity index was 2.85 at low ridge(846m), and the lowest was 1.83 at high ridge(1,433m). In this study, the valley is the most important area for the habitat of birds and followed by the low ridge and agricultural area. Thus, to decide the management required area of Baekdudaegan, it should include valley and nearby lowland as well as ridge area. Moreover, there should be some sort of restriction of vehicle usage when a road cross or close to the Baekdudaegan.

Three species of the linyphiid genus Walckenaeria, Walckenaeria chikunii Saito and Ono, 2001, Walckenaeria furcillata (Menge, 1869), and Walckenaeria ichifusaensis Saito and Ono, 2001, are reported new to the Korean spider fauna. W. furcillata is widely distributed throughout the Palearctic region, but W. chikunii and W. ichifusaensis are only known from their type localities in Japan. Photographs and illustrations of the diagnostic characters are provided.

This paper describes the cause and measure of road structures failures in Kangwon area for year 2006 rain fall. Localized rainfall due to abnormal climate generates rock or dirt flows in upper stream and leads, the road structure failure located on mountains terrane. Main cause of such failures erosion, debris-flow, insufficient supply of culvert drainage system in ravine areas. It is needed to enhance the design methodology of road-drainage system and the remediation technology of rock and dirt flows

지리산국립공원 거림계곡 식물군집구조를 파악하기 위하여 거림계곡 내 등산로를 따라 66개(6,600m2)의 방형구를 설정하였으며 DCA 기법을 이용하여 분석한 결과 해발고 740-950m 의 조사구는 졸참나무군집(군집I) 해발 950-1,340m의 조사구는 신갈나무군집(군집II) 해발 1,340-1,390m의 조사구는 구상나무-거제수나무군집(군집III)으로 분류되었다 상대우점치 흉고직경급별 분포 분석결과 각 군집의 우점종인 졸참나무 신갈나무 구상나무가 우점하는 군집으로 계속유지될것으로 판단되었으며 특히 관목층은 조랫대의 밀도가 높아 천이진행에 영향을 주는 동시에 종다양도가 낮은 것으로 판단되었다 한편 3개 군집간의 유사도지수는 낮은 상태로 해발고에 따라 식생구분이 명확하였다
