This study analyzed habitat status of barn swallows within 800 m and changes in potential food resource occurrence for 63 nests (Seocheon 23, Sejong 40) where barn swallows breeding was confirmed in Seocheon and Sejong in 2019 and 2020. As a result of checking habitat compositions of barn swallows in the study area, Sejong showed more varieties of habitat types than Seocheon, showing a larger number of dominant groups. Such large number of dominant groups was found to be an advantageous habitat factor for producing flying insects as potential food resources for barn swallows. As for the production of potential food resources, Seocheon had the highest production in dwelling and stream and Sejong had the highest production in the stream. The production of potential food resources differed in production season by habitat type. This study analyzed compositions of the habitat around the breeding site of swallows. It provides basic data necessary for protecting barn swallow habitats by comparing the production timing and production volume of potential food resources occurring in the habitat.

In order to investigate the changes in the population of Spot-billed ducks due to changes in reclaimed land, we conducted a monthly survey from January 2008 to December 2014 at the Shihwa Lake. The average number of Spot-billed ducks was 12,204 individuals. The average population was decreased. The yearly index of fluctuation (Fi) was the highest at 2.16 in 2010. TRIM(TRends and Indices for Monitoring data) showed a steep decline in winter and a moderate decrease tendency in autumn and spring. However, in the summer season, it showed an moderate increasing tendency. The main habitat were Northland reclaimed land, agricultural land and wetland area, Tando waterway, Shihwa artificial wetland in upstream. The correlation between the number of Spot-billed ducks and the temperature was negatively correlated in spring, summer, autumn. However, winter was showed positive correlation. Therefore, it affects the community of Spot-billed ducks due to environmental changes of reclaimed land. In future, effective management is needed to prepare alternative habitat based on basic data like this study for the conservation and management of Spot-billed ducks during reclamation construction.

As society has changed to being more knowledge-based, it is indispensable that Internet usage is incorporated into education. Therefore, the e-learning system is being developed in order to provide a proper environment. However, many LCMS that were developed, currently are not based on SCORM, the world e-learning standard, nor KEM, the Korea Educational Metadata of Korea Education & Research Information Service(KERIS), and hence, it is difficult to share learning contents developed from such varied environments. National Science Museum, a non-educational institution, also provides the educational science exhibits in reality or in cyber space, which cannot be produced by elementary schools, and secondary schools. Consequently, new systems are necessary, whose modules should be divided into four, for example, 'teachers', 'learners', 'managers', and 'instructors', and be associated with each other so that they are able to integrate and manage such systems, and be used in school education as well. Therefore, in this study, more advanced LMS and LCMS, which are the web-portal sites used for a cyber science class at the National Science Museum, were designed and established. These sites were surely based on the KEM, and the SCORM.

The purpose of exhibition is not putting exhibits on display but communicating the information and message of them to people effectively. The exhibition evaluation is very important because it allows the whole process of exhibit development to be reviewed. The purpose of this study is to examine the exhibition evaluation method into preceding research and to grope the proper evaluation method through analyze visitors behavior on the Permanent Exhibition in National Science Museum.

In this study, the genus Cameraria Chapman, 1902 belonging to the family Gracillariidae is reported for the first time from Korea, with three newly recorded species, Cameraria acericola Kumata, 1963, C. hikosanensis Kumata, 1963 and C. niphonica Kumata, 1963. All the known Korean species are enumerated with their available information. Adults and genitalia of all species are redescribed and illustrated.

Beta diversity is an efficient means of assessing the spatial variation in community composition among sites. To present fish community variation and LCBD (Local Contribution to Beta Diversity) among sites in stream, 6 sampling sites were selected in Cheonggye stream. Fish communities, environmental and habitat variables were collected at sites from April 2014 to October 2015. We used the total variance of the fish community data table (site-by-species community table) based on different forms, presence-absence, abundance, and Hellinger transformation, to estimate and compare beta diversity and LCBD. Fish community data table transformed by Hellinger distance showed the higher values of beta diversity than presence-absence and abundance data table. A similar patterns of LCBD were observed with presence-absence and Hellinger transformed data table. Low value of beta diversity calculated by community data table with abundance was due to the non-normality of fish assemblage data. Additionally, correlation coefficients were calculated to evaluate the relationships among LCBD, community indices and physicochemical variables. LCBD showed negative correlation coefficients with Shannon diversity. Overall, application of beta diversity analysis is an efficient method of addressing spatial variation of fish communities and ecological uniqueness of the sites in stream.

대전광역시는 대전시의 3대 하천 살리기 사업 중 하나로 갑천을 2009년까지 수영이 가능한 하천으로 개선하는 '갑천 수질개선 기본계획'을 추진하고 있다. 이러한 계획이 성공적으로 수행되기 위해서는 오염물질을 포함하는 지류의 수질을 개선하는 것이 우선되어야 한다. 대전의 탄동천은 상류에 군부대 시설이 밀집해 있고 하수처리장이 운영되고 있는 관계로 하천 수질은 일반적인 하천에 비하여 높은 오염도를 나태내고 있다. 또한 중류지역의 주거시설에서 하수시스템으로 완벽하게 연결되지 못한 부분에서 오염물질이 유출되는 것으로 추정되며, 연구단지등에서 강우시 유출되는 비점오염물질 등이 하천의 수질에 영향을 미치고 있다. 본 연구에서는 탄동천의 상류 자운동의 자운1교부터 갑천과 합류되기 전의 국립중앙과학관 앞까지의 7.4km 구간의 6개 지점과 하수처리장 방류수, 우수 관거 및 지류인 삼성천 등 6개 점오염원 지점의 총 12개 지점에 대하여 현장조사 및 수질측정 을 진행하였다. 본 연구에서는 하수처리장으로 더 이상 제어하기 어려운 오염물질 농도를 추가로 저감하기 위하여 지표형 인공습지 운영 및 설계방안을 연구하였다. 인공습지를 합리적으로 설계하는 경우 결과 탄동천의 수질을 개선할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 하천 환경을 개선하고 경관을 개선하는 효과가 있을 것으로 기대되며 도시형 소하천들의 수질 개선에 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 것으로 기대된다.

As a medium for communication on science and technology, science museum could be important to adults who finished formal school education. By analysing all the exhibits at the National Science Museum and conducting a face-to-face interview survey toward 100 adult visitors, based on the PEP / IS model's perspective(Kim, 2007), this study aimed to find a way to induce many adults to visit science museum from the information consumer's viewpoint, not the information provider's one. The result was that most of the exhibits were not related to problems which people focused attention on. About half of visitors, therefore, did not relate their problems with exhibits and responded that there was no relationship between exhibits and their everyday life. However, they had an idea that science and technology could contribute to solving their problems. These findings could suggest that first, science exhibits in relation to people's focused problems or issues are to be developed, second, programs for parents who are accompanied by their children are to be developed, and last, adults' engagement in planning the science museum exhibits is to be considered.
