도심 지역은 인구집중, 토지 피복의 변화 및 교통량 증가 등의 인공열 배출원의 다양화 등의 요인에 의해 주변지역보다도 기온이 높은 도시 열섬(Urban Heat Island) 현상에 의해 독특한 도시기후의 특색을 보이게 된다. 일반적으로 도시 열 환경에 대한 연구는 도시 열섬의 강도나 현상을 파악하는데 집중되어 왔다. 최근 들어 도시 열섬 현상 완화 또는 개선을 위한 관심이 높아지면서 도시내에 존재하는 수면이나 녹지를 이용한 기후개선에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 하천은 다양한 생물이 서식하는 공간이면서 생물의 다양성이 풍부한 생태계의 보고로 인간과 환경이 조화를 이루어 온 공간이기도 하다. 이와 같이 하천은 지역의 다양성과 특수성에 따라 가지고 있는 기능이 다양하다. 그 중 하천의 환경 기능은 많은 열용량을 축적시켜 수면의 온도상승을 적게 하여 하천의 온도는 물론 주변지역의 온도를 낮추는 역할을 하게 된다. 특히 흐르는 물은 대류와 혼합과정을 거치며 열을 운반할 수 있으므로 효율적인 축열체가 된다. 또한 하천의 물 등은 광의 투과성이 높기 때문에 표면에서는 반사되지 않고 수체 내에 열을 저장한다. 따라서 이러한 현상이 종합적으로 작용하여 도심하천은 도심지에서 높게 형성된 온도를 낮추는 냉각효과가 있다고 판단된다. 이러한 영향을 알아보기 위해 본 연구에서는 원격탐사 기법을 이용하여 도심하천이 도시 열완경 완화에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 분석을 위해 2009년 9월 6일 Landsat 7 ETM+ 위성영상을 이용하여 LST (Land Surface Temperature)를 추출하고, SEBAL (Surface Energy Balance Algori- thms for Land) 모델을 이용하여 지표면 열수지 성분을 추출하였다. 그 결과, 도심하천 주변의 온도가 도심지에 비해 $2{\sim}3^{\circ}C$ 정도 낮게 형성되었으며, 잠열은 주변 도심지에 비해 하천에서 높은 분포를 나타내었다. 그러나 하천 둔치나 하천 주변의 콘크리트, 아스팔트 및 나대지 등의 토지피복은 지표면 온도가 높게 형성되어 도심의 heat spot으로 작용하여 열 환경을 악화시키나 도심하천은 cool spot 작용을 하여 도심의 열을 완화하는 기능을 갖는 것으로 판단된다.

Heat island phenomena in Chuncheon (Korea) were investigated using air temperature measured by automatic weather stations and temperature dataloggers located at rural and urban sites. Numerical simulation of the phenomena was performed using Weather Research and Forecasting Urban Canopy Model (WRF-UCM) and results were compared with the observation. The model was initialized with NCEP/FNL data. The horizontal resolution of the fine domain is 0.33 km. The results of observational analyses show that the intensity of heat island was significantly higher during the nighttime than during the daytime. The highest measured temperature difference between rural and urban site is $3.49^{\circ}C$ and average temperature difference varies between 1.4 and $1.9^{\circ}C$. Good agreement was found between the simulated and observed temperatures. However, significantly overestimated wind speed was found at the urban sites. The linear regression analysis between observed and simulated temperature shows high correlation coefficient 0.96 for urban and 0.94 for rural sites while for wind speed, a very low correlation coefficient was found, 0.30 and 0.55 respectively.

Population growth and rapid urbanization has been converting large amounts of rural vegetation into urbanized areas. This human induced change has increased temperature in urban areas in comparison to adjacent rural regions. Various studies regarding to urban heat island have been conducted in different disciplines in order to analyze the environmental issue. Especially, different types of thermal infrared remote sensing data are applied to urban heat island research. This article reviews research focusing on thermal infrared remote sensing for urban heat island and urban planning studies. Seven studies of analyses for the relationships between urban heat island and other dependent indicators in urban planning discipline are reviewed. Despite of different types of thermal infrared remote sensing data, units of analysis, land use and land cover, and other dependent variable, each study results in meaningful outputs which can be implemented in urban planning strategies. As the application of thermal infrared remote sensing data is critical to measure urban heat island, it is important to understand its advantages and disadvantages for better analyses of urban heat island based on this review. Despite of its limitations - spatial resolution, overpass time, and revisiting cycle, it is meaningful to conduct future research on urban heat island with thermal infrared remote sensing data as well as its application to urban planning disciplines. Based on the results from this review, future research with remotely sensed data of urban heat island and urban planning could be modified and better results and mitigation strategies could be developed.

This study examines how fence demolition may change the thermal environments of external spaces of houses and suggests what factors need to be considered when a fence is demolished. The results of the research are summarized as follows. In terms of the surface temperature, there was no significant difference in all time plots after the removal of all materials. However, applying greening methods (changing the surface materials, planting trees, and building a green roof following fence demolition) could lower the surface temperatures, calling for proper plans for various greening methods. The MRT results indicates that walls block solar radiation and provide shade, reducing radiant heat from roads and surrounding structures during the daytime when solar radiation directly effects surface temperatures. Also, the application of greening methods such as planting vegetation and trees could have shading and evapotranspiration effects, leading to a lower temperature distribution. The HIP results were similar to the MRT results. They indicated that walls block solar radiation within the residential sections and provide shade, resulting in a lower temperature distribution during the daytime. However, areas where greening methods such as a green roof or tree planting were applied showed $1{\sim}2^{\circ}C$ difference in temperature distribution.

In order for effective heat island reduction policies to be proposed, this research made use of the land usage and land coverage and Temperature of cities, Coordinate axis data within 500 meters of nationwide automatic weather stations (478 points) in order to analyze the correlation of summertime temperatures through multiple regression analysis. This research also developed a model and empirically analyzed the urban heat island reduction effect of factors that affect regional temperatures. Heat islands cause environment deterioration and therefore can harm citizens' health, and also affects the city's metabolism process. Thus in order to restrain regional temperature rises the conclusion was drawn that consideration to increase forest areas on part of land usage planning is needed. Appropriate policy measures to regulate traffic related factors are also needed to restrain regional temperature rises. In order for future heat island reduction this research proposes a way to set up more effective policies and urban sustainability improvement strategies, and is significant in that it makes use of detailed data such as land usage and land coverage, Temperature of cities, Coordinate axis in analyses.

Currently, urban greening projects and research are attracting attention as a way to mitigate urban heat island phenomenon. In this study, nitrogen fixative bacteria were isolated and their effects on plant growth were confirmed. First, enrichment was performed in a nitrogen-free medium to isolate the nitrogen-fixing bacteria, and the colony showing high growth in a medium with limited nitrogen source was isolated and purified. Separated bacterial isolates were reduced by more than 90% acetylene by ARA and indirectly confirmed the activity of nitrogenase by ethylene production. Cedecea sp. MK7 and Enterobacter sp. Y8 with confirmed reproducibility were selected as nitrogen fixative bacteria. Nitrogen fixing bacteria were applied to the growth of perennial rye grass, and it was found that the dry weight increased to 34.80 mg (186.60%) compared with the control with 18.65 mg dry weight. After plant growth, microbial community analysis of soil applied by bacteria showed similarity to the control group. Therefore, in this study, it is expected that the efficiency will be increased if plant growth is promoted by using nitrogen fixing bacteria in urban greenery system.
