Mt. Gamak is located south of the Imjin river, near the D.M.Z.: and the spider fauna of this area has never been explored. Tile authors collected spiders from this mountain since 1972. Findings were: 1) The authors recorded 115 species of spiders belonging to 21 families, 73 genera. including 7 undetermined spcies. 2) Trachelas japonicus was added to the fauna for the first time. Identification of Dictyna sp. (W), Episinus sp. (A) and Coeloter sp. (A) have not yet been completed by the authors. 3) These materials Iwere not sufficient for general discussion and conclusions of the spider fauna of Mt. Gamak area. However, results can be summarized: 21 northern species-$19.4\%$, 5 southern species-$4.6\%$, 1 cosmopolitan species-$0.9\%$ 4) Species common with China mainland were 45($41.7\%$). 5) As the result of this survey, the spider fauna of this area is similar to that of the Chun-cheon area, located at the same latitude in central Korea.

In terms of world system theory, the historical period of Yanbian area was divided into 3 parts: Japan colonial period which was assigned to the periphery of world system, socialist period which escaped from the world system, and the reform-open period that was reincorporated to world system. The cultural character of each period was studied. The conclusions are as follow. During the period of periphery of world system, Yanbian area as an area where the massed Korean people lived, was dominated by Korean peninsular culture. However, Yanbian area was also affected by the Japanese and Chinese cultural assimilation policy. During the period that Yanbian area aparted from the world system, it was affected by the requirement of unique socialist culture assimilation, and traditional cultures were hard to keep. During the period of reincorporation to the world system with lighten of minority policy by Chinese government, traditional national culture begin revived, but due to extend intercourse of Yanbian with China mainland and Republic of Korea, China-Korean culture of Yanbian area was strongly affected by Chinese and Korean culture too.

This study was carried out to investigate the herpeto-fauna at Hallasan National Park. We conducted a survey at 1100 Resting places, Eoseungsaengak, Donnaeko, Eorimok, Yeongsil, Gwaneumsa and Seongpanak from April, 2006 to January, 2007. A series of four families and 5 species of amphibians and 4 families and 8 species of reptiles were observed. Amphiesma vibakari ruthveni, Takydromus wolteri, Scincella vandenburghi, Coluber spinalis and Hynobius quelpartensis which are rarely appearing inland but they were frequently observed by this survey. Also, we observed Sibynophis chinensis that only inhabits Jeju island with in Korea. Jeju island has both southern and northern boundary lines for amphibians and reptiles. Amphibians and reptiles in Jeju island have a different from those inland and valuable information for biogeograpy due to dissimilar climate and isolation from continental for a long time. It is not certain whether some amphibians and reptiles, Bufo gargarizans, Rana rugosa, R. plancyi, Elaphe rufodorsata and Takydromus amurensis, inhabit Jeju island, as recorded in previous literatures, so the research on current status of them has to be carried out immediately.

2011년에 일본 도호쿠 지방 태평양 해역에서 규모 9.0의 지진이 발생하여 거대한 쓰나미가 일본 본토 해안을 침수시켰다. 이로 인해, 정확한 피해규모가 파악되기 어려울 정도로 막대한 인명과 재산피해를 입게 되었다. 센다이지역의 경우 쓰나미로 인해 해안에 위치한 약 3.8 평방킬로미터의 방풍림이 모두 전복되었고 일부는 유목이 되어 쓰나미와 함께 내륙으로 흘러들어가 곳곳에 퇴적되어 농지를 훼손하고 가옥에 피해를 주었다. 따라서, 본 연구는 유목의 발생과 흐름에 따른 거동을 수치적으로 분석하여, 폭우나 쓰나미와 같은 거대흐름과 산지와 방풍림 등에서 발생하는 유목의 발생과 거동과정을 예측하고, 흐름과 유목 거동에 따른 피해지역을 선별할 수 있는 방법을 구축하기 위한 초기단계로서, 이를 위해 유목의 발생과정의 역학적 모델링을 수치모듈에 적용하였고 이를 활용하여 수치모의를 수행하였다. 흐름분석을 위해 쓰인 모형은 홍수범람 모형인 Nays2D Flood 이며 천수방정식을 기본으로 한다. 쓰나미의 흐름은 해안가의 방풍림지역을 상류단 경계조건으로 하여 발생 당시 관측된 수심변화를 본 모형의 상류단 경계조건으로 입력하였다. 상류단 경계조건에서 쓰나미의 유속은 수심에 따른 파속으로 계산하였다. 본 연구에서는 또한 유목의 발생과 흐름거동을 기존에 개발된 입자법 기반의 유목동역학모형을 활용하여 수치적으로 모델링 하였다. 유목은 유연성이 없는 원주형 강체로 가정하였고 초기설정으로는, 방풍림지역에 30만개의 유목이 하상의 수직방향으로 배치되어있는 것으로 가정하였다. 여기서, 본 연구에서는 쓰나미가 발생하면 흐름에 따른 항력으로 인해 수직방향으로 배치된 유목이 부러지며, 흐름과 함께 흘러가는 현상을 모델링하였다. 본 연구는 폭우나 쓰나미와 같은 거대흐름으로 인해 발생할 수 있는 유송잡물과 유목의 거동을 예측분석하는 기초연구자료로 활용될 수 있으며, 더 나아가 유목의 발생과정까지 수치적으로 재현하는 모델링을 수행하였기 추후에, 산지와 하천에서 발생할 수 있는 유송잡물의 발생과 연행 과정을 보다 세부적으로 예측할 수 있는 기초방법론으로 쓰일 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of planting density on thegrowth and yield of Rehmannia glutinosa. A local variety was planted on the 100cm row, with different planting density of 20, 30 and 40 plants per $m^2$. Nitrogen, phosporus and potassium fertilizers were applied as 12, 12, and 16 kg /10a, respectively with compost of 1,000kg /10a. Plant height became shorter with increase in the planting density from 20 to 40 $plants\;/\;m^2$. But emergence date, leaf length and width were not significantly changed with planting density. As the planting density was increased, tuber diameter got slender and tuber number was decreased, but tuber length was not affected. The tuber yield was 793kg /10a at the planting density of 20 $plants\;/\;m^2$ and it increased 40% at 30 $plants\;/\;m^2$ and 45% at 40 $plants\;/\;m^2$ Regarding on the farmer's income, optimum planting density was estimated 30 $plants\;/\;m^2$.

This study was carried out to examine agronomic characteristics and seed qualities of 827 Korean soybean landraces according to the collecting areas. Agronomic characteristics and seed qualities was examined according to the localities by weather characteristics. Days to flowering was the longest (mean 70.9 days) in the northwest seashore, and the most short in the south inland (mean 63.8 days). Growth days was the longest in the Gyeongbuk inland (mean 136.0 days), and the most short in the mountain-high (mean 132.8 days). The stem height was the most short in the north-west seashore (mean 81.3 cm), and in the south seashore (mean 58.8 cm). The seed weight of 100 seeds was the lightest in the north-west seashore (mean 17.1 g), and the heaviest in the south-west seashore (mean 21.5 g). The crude protein contents was the lowest in the north-west seashore (mean 40.1%), the highest in the south seashore (mean 42.8%), and vice versa in the crude oil. The contents of sucrose and oligo-saccharide was the highest 5.8% and 8.6%, respectively, in the mountain-high, and the lowest 4.8% and 7.6% in the Gyeongbuk inland and south seashore, respectively. Among the iso-flavone contests, the contents of genistein and total was the highest, $635.6\;{\mu}g/g$ and $1258.1\;{\mu}g/g$, respectively, in the mountain inland, and the lowest $319.2\;{\mu}g/g$ and $835.3\;{\mu}g/g$ in the south-west seashore. The contents of glycitein was the highest $124.3\;{\mu}g/g$ in the south seashore.

Soil erosion is detrimental to sustain soil productivity in north Korea, since agriculture of this country depends largely upon the slope land in mountainous area. Taking any measure for protection from erosion should be based on prediction of soil loss. Estimation of rainfall factor, R, in north Korea for the Universal Soil Loss Equation was attempted. The monthly precipitation data of the twenty six locations provided by the Korean Meteorological Adminstration were used. From the relationship between II_30 and the July-August precipitation concentration percents, the regional adjustment factor was obtained. The rainfall factor was calculated with the monthly precipitation data and the regional adjustment factor. The annual precipitation in north Korea ranged from 606 to 1,520mm, and the July-August precipitation concentration percents were 34.4 to 53.8. The regional adjustment factor ranged from 0.53 to 1.33 showing lower value in the highland and east coastal region than in the mid mountainous inland and west region. The R-factor value estimated from the monthly precipitation and the regional adjustment factor ranged from 107 to 483, which was lower than average value in south Korea.

We identified the diversity, geographical distribution, ecological characteristics of birds, trees, and flowers species designated as local government symbols as a means for understanding public awareness on biodiversity. A total of 114 species including 48 birds, 40 flowers, 36 tree species belonging to 40 orders 59 families 90 genus were designated as natural symbols. Pica pica (L.) in birds, Rhododendron schlippenbachii Maxim. among flowers, have also been designated as symbols. The tree Ginkgo biloba L. was designated with the highest frequency. Local governments located coastal area were selected bird species of the Laridae family and the tree species Camellia japonica L., of Pinaceae as their natural symbols. In contrast, local governments located inland have designated resident bird species such as P. pica and Columba rupestris (Pallas) and flower species from the Ericaceae as natural symbols widely distributed and easily observed throughout South Korea. However, many local governments have designated the same species as a natural symbol based on their size color and public appeal and popularity. The information about the popular species and their ecological traits are useful for establishing the criteria as flagship or iconic species selection and their roles in habitat conservation.

The main purpose of this study is to examine the effect of the family instability on the elderly suicide and to examine the change over time. An analytical model of causal structure was set up with residence, family instability and socioeconomic level as explanation variables for this study. The cause of death statistics and micro-data from the vital statistics for 1995, 2000 and 2005 were used. Family instability was measured through divorce, and the rate of elderly(male and female) suicide as well as the suicide rate of the elderly and those in their 20-50's was used for this analysis to examine the effect of divorce. This study hypothesized about family instability and elderly suicide through a literature review. This paper presents maps of the suicide rate by using GIS, and then ANOVA and regression analysis are carried out to verify a difference in the elderly suicide rate affected by residence and divorce. Divorce rate appears in most areas with a high level centering around metropolises except the central inland area. The rate of elderly suicide which stayed in only specific regions with a high level has increased as time went by, and the graph leveled high in most regions except the southwestern coast. In addition, the elderly suicide rate was increased rapidly in rural areas for the most recent 10 years. This shows the seriousness of problems of the aged in rural areas. Through the periods of economic crisis, a sudden increase in divorce causes family instability, which increase the suicide rate increasing. Divorce affects the elderly suicide rate and the 20-50s' suicide rate in the same way, and the stronger effect goes to the elderly rather than those in their 20-50s'. Regarding elderly suicide, the divorce has a different effect by gender, affecting males more than females. With these facts, we can draw the conclusion that family instability has the most significant effect on elderly males' suicide.
