  • 최근 하천의 환경 생태적인 기능의 중요성이 부각됨에 따라 하도 내 설치되어있는 보와 같은 하천횡단구조물은 하천의 환경과 생태계를 해치는 대표적인 수공구조물로 인식되어 가고 있다. 하지만 일부의 경우에는 보상류에 특수한 정수형 생태계가 나타나 생태적 가치를 증가시키는 경우도 있고, 수변공간 조성에 따른 친수성 증대의 효과도 있다. 따라서 보가 하천 상 하류 생태계에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 평가하고 분석할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 행정중심복합도시 예정지역내에 위치한 제천유역 하류부에 보와 같은 하천횡단구조물이 존재하지 않는 구간을 선정하였고, 가상적으로 대상구간 중간에 보 설정 후 높이에 변화를 주었으며, 그에 따른 보의 상 하류 구간에서 피라미의 물리서식처 변화를 2차원 물리서식처 모의 모형인 River2D를 적용하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 보의 상 하류 구간에서 피라미의 물리서식처 변화를 모의하였으며, 피라미의 물리서식처를 고려한 최적의 보 높이를 산정할 수 있었다.

  • This study was carried out to obtain ecological information necessary for a conservation plan based on the distributional patterns, wetland types, and hydrophytic characteristics of urban wetlands in Seongnam City, Kyunggi Province where representing the various patterns of land use made by rapid urbanization since 1970s. Total 162 sites of four wetland types were identified as urban wetlands during the first survey. The sites were classified into 55 forested swamps, 4 riverine wetlands, 62 abandoned paddy fields, 37 small ponds, and 4 reservoirs, etc. The second survey targeted 107 sites which were identified as good wetlands. It showed that 42 sites(about 39%) were already degraded due to drainage, landfill, and crop cultivation at 6 months intervals. Both hydrologic conditions and hydrophytic characteristics of 27 good wetlands help maintain current ecological status, but most wetlands have been degraded by artificial impacts. Among 184 species identified, only 75 species(about 40.7%) were hydrophytes. Prevalence Index of hydrophyte based on three categories of OBL(obligatory wetland plant), FAC(facultitative plant), UPL(obligatory upland plant) was 3.7, indicating that vegetation data alone is inadequate to designate as wetlands. This study revealed that as critical habitats for wildlife they playa vital role in ecotone between both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem with its proper distributional pattern in spite of their small areas compared to the entire geographic region of the City.

  • The expansion of human activities and road development has led to the loss and fragmentation of ecological spaces, which is a negative factor for biodiversity. In particular, urban areas where land use and land cover have rapidly changed into urbanization zones are regions where ecological spaces are lost and isolated, making it difficult for wildlife to inhabit. Furthermore, the loss and fragmentation of ecological spaces due to urbanization can have a negative impact on ecosystem services. Therefore, to enhance biodiversity and ecosystem services in urban and national land, it is necessary to establish a practical ecological axis that reflects the current status of the city. Thus, this study analyzed the connectivity of ecological spaces and forest axis that can be used for spatial planning related to urban ecological axis of local governments in Daegu and Gyeongsangbuk-do. The ecological connectivity was analyzed by dividing the Daegu-Gyeongbuk region into 31 local government units, distinguishing between forests and natural areas using land cover data. Subsequently, the study area was divided into 20,483 hexagonal grids of 1 square kilometer each, and the restoration effects for ecological fragmentation within 100 meters were spatially clustered to visualize priority restoration areas. The forest axis was derived by considering regional conditions such as land cover, building area, slope, and others to connect 1,534 forests of 100 hectares or more. The research results are expected to be used as fundamental data for spatial planning, goal setting, and the selection of restoration areas for improving ecological connectivity.

  • 이산화탄소는 기후변화를 야기시키는 주요 온실가스이다. 본 연구는 춘천시, 강릉시, 서울시 강남구 및 중랑구를 대상으로 토지이용유형별 식생관리에 기인한 에너지소비 및 탄소방출을 잔디깎기, 전정, 관수, 시비, 살충제시용 등의 식생관리실태를 면담설문 및 일부 실측을 통해 파악하였다. 동일 토지이용유형 내 식생관리강도는 대체로 도시간 및 구간 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 수목관리에 의한 연간 총탄소방출량은 토지이용유형에 따라 단위피도면적당 36.0~209.7g/m2로서 교통용지에서 가장 많았다. 잔디관리에 의한 연간 총탄소방출량은 단위잔디면적당 7.4~69.3g/m2로서 공원에서 가장 많았다. 이들 총탄소방출량 중 수목의 경우 전정이 토지이용유형에 따라 96.8~99.7%를, 잔디의 경우 잔디깎기가 91.9~100%를 각각 차지하였다. 도시식생의 연간 순탄소흡수를 최대화하기 위해서 가로수의 전정과 공원 내 잔디깎기에 의한 탄소방출을 최소화할 식재계획 및 관리가 요구된다.

  • The estuary is a transition zone where fresh water and salt water meet because the stream is connected to the open sea area. So estuaries have very high biodiversity and form a unique ecosystem. However, before the recognition of the ecological value of the estuaries, various damage and disturbances have been occurred so countermeasures are needed. The river master plan is acting as a disturbance factor. However, the river master plan has the public object such as water disaster defense, river function improvement, and national water resources management. Therefore, it is necessary to study the ways in which the opposite relationship of development and ecosystem protection coexist. In this study, the concept of environmental windows were used to estimate the low impact development duration. We expected that proposed method for low impact development duration estimation can be used as a basis and basic data to protected the ecosystem from development project and disturbance in the future.

  • A stream plays an important role as the source of drinking water, the ecological space and the living space. But the today's urban stream whose ecosystem is destroyed and water quality become worse in consequence of covering, concrete dyke construction, and the adjustment of high-water-ground[dunchi], is deprived of the function as a stream. Therefore this paper aims to elucidate the role that urban stream plays ecologically and to try to find a improvement to the problem. A stream is the pathway through which several types of the solar radiation energy are transmitted and the place which is always full of life energy. In the periphery of a stream, primary productivity is high and carrying capacity of population is great. Thus ancient cities based on agricultural products grew out of the fertile surroundings of stream. In Korea most cities of the Chosen Dynasty Period based on the agriculture have grown out of the erosional basins where solar energy is concentrated. The role of a stream in this agricultural system is the source of energy and material(water and sediment) and a lifeline. In consequence of the growth of cities and the rapid growing demands of water supply after the Industrial Revolution, a stream has become a more important locational factor of city. However, because cities need the life energy of urban streams no longer, urban streams cannot play role as a lifeline. And As pollutant waste water has poured into urban streams after using external streams' water, urban streams have degraded to the status of a ditch. As the results of the progress of urbanization, the dangerousness of inundation of urban stream increased and its water quality became worse. For the sake of holding back it, local governments constructed concrete dyke, adjusted high-water-ground[dunchi], and covered the channel. But stream ecosystem went to ruin and its water quality became much worse after channelization. These problems of urban stream can be solved by transmitting much energy contained in stream to land ecosystem as like rural stream. We should dissipate most of the energy contained in urban stream by cultivating wetland vegetation from the shore of stream to high-water-ground, and should recover a primitive natural vigorous power by preparation of ecological park.
