Rapid urbanization increases the risk of hydrologic disasters due to the increase of impervious areas in urban areas. Precipitation characteristics can be transformed due to the rise of global temperatures. Thus urban areas with the increased impervious areas are more exposed to hydrological disasters than ever before. Therefore, low impact development practices have been widely installed to rehabilitate the distorted hydrologic cycle in the urban area. This study used the Stormwater Management Model to analyze the water quantity and quality of the Mokgamcheon which had been severely urbanized, considering future climate scenarios presented by various general circulation models (GCMs). In addition the effectiveness of permeable pavement by 27 sub-watersheds was simulated in terms of water quantity and quality considering various GCMs and then the priorities of sub-watersheds were derived using an alternative valuation index which uses the pressure-state-response framework.

In this paper, impervious area ratios for 11 land cover types of Seoul city were estimated and corresponding CNs were calculated. And linear regression equations were derived to predict impervious area ratios based on five major urban land cover types including the residential, industrial, transportation, commercial, and commercial-residential mixed areas. From the comparative analysis of impervious area ratios for the US SCS CNs and the CNs derived in this study for Seoul city, it is revealed that residential areas show the biggest difference followed by industrial and commercial ones. And in turn, these increased impervious area ratios resulted in Increased CNs for Seoul city including increases by 13 for residential, 12 for industrial and 5 for commercial areas. Therefore, it is suggested that applying the US SCS CNs to Korean urbanized areas may underestimate the flood runoff potential.

This study was carried out to investigate the distribution status and invasional characteristics of the naturalized plants. The vascular plants in these areas were consisted of total 381 taxa: 81 families, 234 genera, 295 species, 2 subspecies, 66 verieties, 18 forms. Among the investigated vascular plants, naturalized plants (Sicyos angulatus, Barbarea vulgaris, Thlaspi arvense, Amorpha fruticosa, Trifolium pratense, Ambrosia artemisiifolia, Ambrosia trifida, Aster pilosus, Rumex acetosella etc.) were 41 taxa. The Naturalization Index (NI) was 10.70% and the Urbanization Index (UI) was 15.30% at Chuncheon city. The Invasion Index was 63.41% at urban river and 97.56% at stream high, 19.51% at urban forest area.

최근 기상이변의 가속화로 인해 홍수피해는 더욱 증가되고 있으며, 도시화로 인해 불투수면적이 급격히 늘어남에 따라 기존 관개수로의 통수능력 부족으로 도시침수피해가 증가되고 있다. 재난 연감과 재해연보를 바탕으로 비교한 결과, 홍수를 비롯한 각종 재난 발생 시 일반적으로 남성들에 비해 여성들의 피해자 수가 많으며 피해의 정도는 상대적으로 심각하였다. 그러나 국내외적으로 홍수에 대한 피해를 줄이고자 홍수 취약성에 대한 많은 연구들이 수행되었지만 아직 젠더를 고려한 취약성 분석은 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 대상지역을 우리나라의 인구밀집도가 가장 높은 서울시 25개구로 선정하였고, 엔트로피 이론을 활용해 25개 구의 홍수 취약성 지수를 계산하였다. 홍수 취약성 지수 계산 시 고려요인으로는 여성인구비율, 고령화비율 및 인구밀도 등과 같은 사회적 요인과 연 홍수 피해액, 복구금액 등 경제적 요인 그리고 일일 최대 강수량 및 80mm 이상의 강수량, 홍수 피해 횟수 등과 같은 환경적 요인을 고려하였다. 그 결과 각각의 요인에 따라서 서울시 25개구의 홍수취약성 지수가 상이하게 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이를 통해 취약성지수가 높은 자치구들의 경우 지역특성을 고려한 별도의 홍수대책 가이드라인이 필요 할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구의 결과물을 바탕으로 향후 홍수 대책이나, 홍수대비 관련 정책을 수립할 정부 및 지자체에서 사회, 경제, 환경적 요인을 고려한 합리적인 정책 수립 결정에 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

최근 도시화에 따른 인구증가와 더불어 도로포장 등 불투수면적의 증가로 인하여 우기시 빗물 침투가 차단되어 도심의 지하수위가 저하되며 토양의 건토화, 열섬현상 등의 문제가 발생하게 되었다. 이러한 문제점에 착안하여 본 연구에서는 투수효과를 최대한 고려할 수 있는 고강도의 친환경 콘크리트 블록(에크스톤 바이오 블록; ECOSTONE-BIO BLOCK)을 개발하였으며 기존 콘크리트 블록의 자연적 빗물침투 억제의 문제점을 일부 개선하였다. 본 블록은 캡슐공법을 사용하여, 공극률은 높이면서(투수성 향상), 강도와 내구성이 유지됨은 물론 캡슐안에 황토성분을 첨가하여, 바이오적인 기능 및 재생골재를 이용한 친환경적 제품으로 투수성, 내구성, 기능성을 극대화 시켰다. 또한 제품표면은 천연 백색돌맹이, 흑색돌맹이의 배합으로 자연석재 느낌을 구현하였으며, 쇼트블라스트 및 커링 표면공정으로 미끄럼저항지수를 조절할 수 있어, 기존 콘크리트 보도블록에 비해 투수율, 내구성, 기능성, 안전성이 우수하여, 안전한 보행환경이 가능한 것으로 분석되었다. 마지막으로, 주변 환경과 잘 어울리도록 디자인된 바이오기능성 친환경 블록으로 도심지역 시공시 투수효과에 따른 지하수고갈방지 및 침수피해에 도움을 주리라 사료된다.

The objective of this study was to monitor the regenerated process of natural vegetation on the rear-slope of Jangheung multi-purpose dam using the recycling eco-revegetation technique. The monitoring plots were established in May 2004 and the plots were monitored in May 2004 and October 2005. Flora, plant community structures, naturally introduced plants, death rates were monitored. The change of flora after wood chip mulching decreased in family and species, but the influence of vine tree was extended. The urbanization index declined. Naturally introduced species and death ratios at the monitoring plot had a tendency to a higher increase in the deciduous broad-leaved forest.

The Weolchulsan is one of the phytogeographically important areas among national parks of Korea because this region is located in the northern limit of Southern Plant Types. The flora of the area was enlisted as 516 taxa, 106 families, 318 genera, 453 species, 59 varieties, and 4 forms. The six taxa such as Diplomorpha trichotoma, Monotropastrum globosum, Hololeion maximowiczii, Drosera rotundifolia, Utricularia japonica and Utricularia racemosa are enlisted as the Rare and Endangered Species which is categorized by the Korea Forest Service. The Ratio of Naturalized and Urbanization Index was 4.65% and 9.06%, respectively.

This paper situates 63 provinces of Vietnam on a two-dimensional governance space, according to their levels of both economic and political governance, and systematically explains the two-dimensional distribution of provincial governance. It presents three sets of explanatory factors: the amount of foreign direct investment (FDI) that each province has attracted, the combination of provincial urbanization and population density, and the North Central Coast region factor. Provinces that score high in both economic and political governance tend to have received a good amount of FDI and to be highly urbanized and densely populated whereas provinces that score low in both governance dimensions tend to have the opposite characteristics. Provinces that are high in economic governance but low in political governance are those that have received the greatest amount of FDI and tend to be highly urbanized yet relatively sparsely populated. Provinces that are high in political governance but low in economic governance are characterized by a relatively small amount of FDI, low urbanization, and high population density. Finally, provinces in the North Central Coast region tend to score very high in political governance.

In order to analyze the land surface properties in Seoul and its surrounding metropolitan area, several indices and land surface temperature were calculated by the Landsat satellites (e.g., Landsat 5, Landsat 7, and Landsat 8). The Landsat data came from only in the fall season with Landsat 5 on October 21, 1985, Landsat 7 on September 29, 2003, and Landsat 8 on September 16, 2013. The land surface properties used are the indices that represented Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (SAVI), Modified Normalized Difference Wetness Index (MNDWI), Normalized Difference Wetness Index (NDWI), Tasseled cap Brightness, Tasseled cap Greenness, Tasseled cap Wetness Index, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Normalized Difference Built-up Index (NDBI) and the land surface temperature of the area in and around Seoul. Most indices distinguish very well between urban, rural, mountain, building, river and road. In particular, most of the urbanization is represented in the new city (e.g., Ilsan) around Seoul. According to NDVI, NDBI and land surface temperature, urban expansion is displayed in the surrounding area of Seoul. The land surface temperature and surface elevation have a strong relationship with the distribution and structure of the vegetation/built-up indices such as NDVI and NDBI. While the NDVI is positively correlated with the land surface temperature and is also negatively correlated with the surface elevation, the NDBI have just the opposite correlations, respectively. The NDVI and NDBI index is closely associated with the characteristics of the metropolitan area. Landsat 8 and Landsat 5 have very strong correlations (more than -0.6) but Landsat 7 has a weak one (lower than -0.5).
