The east coast area of Gangwon province in Korea is famous for natural beauty, many perfect sights and various kinds of tourist attractions. Especially beaches are one of the most attractive and clean tourist attractions in Gangwon province, when compared to the west and south coast of Korea, the natural environment is more prominent. But there are many problems concering the east coast beaches of Gangwon province, such as environmental disruption, collecting fees for offering services, crowdedness, lack of main convenient facilities, decrease of consumption, unseasonably cool temperatures etc. This study examined several problems as to the beach management of Gangwon province that has been suggested over several years. Finally, the author suggested several improvements to solve the problems as mentioned above.

In the recent years, the development of coastal zone has been advancing, and the chance of leisure activity has increased near the sea. However, the destruction of ozone layer has resulted in an increase in the amount of ultraviolet radiation reaching the earth surface. The human body is harmfully influenced as skin cancer and eye damage by ultraviolet radiation. Especially, the effect of ultraviolet radiation on beach is higher than that inland area due to the reflection from the sand. This study is expected to use basic data on the method of measuring ultraviolet reflections on east coast beaches using remote sensing.

Marine beach sands with bacterial pathogens may cause increased outcomes of illness among beachgoers in summer. In this study, pyrosequencing of 16S ribosomal DNAs extracted from 12 beach sands was performed to understand how the environmental factors of wastewaters or human wastes affected the distribution of bacterial communities at the beach of North Gyeongsang province (Yeongdeok and Pohang counties) in the middle of October. It was found that Acidobacteria were dominantly distributed in the sands near the clean seawaters, Proteobacteria in the sands near the river waters, Cyanobacteria in the sands near the wastewaters, and Bacteroidetes in the sands near the beach park. Other phyla groups such as Actinobacteria, Chlorobi, Deferribacteres, Deinococcus-thermus, Firmicutes, Gemmatimonadetes, Nitrospirae, and/or Verrucomicrobia were distributed at low relative abundance (1-5%).

강원도 산지로부터 발원하여 동해안으로 유입되는 산지하천의 경우 경사가 급하고 유로연장이 짧아 집중호우시 유사가 하류로 빠르게 이동하는 특징을 가지고 있다. 특히 동해안과 만나는 하천의 하구부에서는 하천유황과 흐름에 따라 침식과 퇴적을 반복하며 퇴적토사가 계절변화에 따라 증가하여 하구폐색현상이 발생하는 곳이 많다. 이러한 하구폐색현상은 하천 환경적으로 위험지역을 형성하여 하천생태계를 위협할 수 있고 하천유량의 원활한 소통에 방해요인으로 작용되어 재해발생 가능성을 증대시키기도 한다. 본 연구대상지역인 강원도 삼척시 가곡천은 동해안으로 유입되는 하천으로 하구부에는 경관가치가 뛰어난 솔섬이 위치하고 있으며, 모래사장으로 이루어진 해변으로 연결되어 있어 유량의 변화에 따라 주기적으로 하구폐색이 이루어지고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 하구폐색에 따른 하천형태학적 측면의 수리특성 파악을 위해 장기간 동안의 하천모니터링 작업과 수치모델링을 수행한 결과, 하구의 폐색현상이 하천에서 댐의 역할을 하여 기점수위를 증가시키고 일정수위이상 도달하였을 때 하구가 개방됨에 따라 수리특성이 급격히 변화하여 솔섬 지형에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히, 하구가 개방되었을 때의 방향에 따라 솔섬주변 지형에 대한 침퇴적 양상 및 수리특성이 크게 달라지는 것으로 분석되었다.

This study presents the results of analysis for the wave data that were consecutively collected from February 2013 to November 2018 at the location of 1.6 km offshore from Namhangjin beach. The water depth at the location is 30.5 m and waves were measured by AWAC (Acoustic Wave And Current meter). By using wave-by-wave analysis and spectral analysis, wave heights and periods were evaluated and then the relationships between the quantities obtained by the two methods were proposed based on linear regression analysis. In addition, monthly and yearly variations of the significant wave height and period, and the peak wave direction were analyzed. Moreover, the relationship between the significant wave height and period was newly suggested. Variability and probability distribution of the significant wave period with respect to the significant wave height were also examined.

In this study, a total of 80 rock formations in the romantic road(Nangmangado) were investigated and analyzed and the results are as follows. The area in where the rock formations landscape is seen the most is Yangyang(43 formations), and the formations are most densely concentrated in Jukdo beach when seen from the site group. The most observed landform is weathering landform(61%) and the rest is comprised of coastal landform(24%) and structural landform(15%). For weathering landform, Tafoni takes up the largest portion (33%) and is followed by Corestone(27%), Tor(22%), Gnamma(10%), Groove(4%) and Exfoliation(4%). Considering academic value, rarity and accessibility overall, the 35 landforms are expected to have high utility value as tourism resources and topography filed course. And out of these 35 landforms, 11 are concentrated in Dongsan beach in Yangyang. Therefore, it seems worthy to consider developing Dongsan beach under the name of "Dongsan Coast Rock Park(Tentative Name)" to be actively utilized as tourism resources. The landforms which are evaluated as highly valuable for geomorphology filed course are a total of 16 areas including Fan rock and Op rock formations. In these areas, typical weathering landforms are concentrated in one spot and two or three other types of landform can also be additionally observed, allowing the place to be highly efficient for field education.

삶의 터전이 부족한 자연환경을 극복하기 위해 인간은 쓸모없는 땅을 개척하고, 다리를 놓고, 둑을 막는 등 끊임없이 노력함으로써 좀더 풍요로운 삶으로 발전시켜왔다. 그 중 호수나 바닷가에 제방을 쌓고 육지를 만드는 간척은 좁은 땅덩어리를 넓힘으로써 삶의 터전을 좀더 확대시킬 수 있다. 우리나라는 삼면이 바다로 둘러싸여 있고 특히 서해안과 남해안은 리아스식 해안에 갯벌이 발달하여 간척에 유리하다. 간척은 삼국시대부터 그 흔적을 찾을 수 있고 조선시대까지는 작은 갯고랑이나 해변을 막는 정도였으나 일제 강점기 때 주로 군량미 조달 등을 목적으로 본격적인 간척이 이루어졌다. 해방 후에도 간척은 계속되었고 1980년대 이후 중장비가 등장하면서 수천 미터의 제방 길이와 거대한 물목을 틀어막는 대규모 공사로 발전하였다. 근대의 간척사업이 군량미 확보와 미곡 증산 중심이었다면 최근의 간척사업은 생태환경 복원, 관광 등 다목적 용도로 쓰임새가 변화하는 추세이다. 서해안에서는 지금 국토를 넓히는 역사적인 사업이자 최대 규모의 국책사업인 간척사업이 한창 진행 중이다. 중국 동해안을 중심으로 한국과 일본 큐슈를 잇는 환황해권이 세계 최대 경제로 떠오를 것으로 예상됨에 따라 정부가 환황해권의 주도권을 잡기 위해 새만금개발사업을 적극 추진하고 있다. 세계 최장 33km의 방조제와 $401km^2$의 땅을 매립하여 농업 산업단지, 복합도시, 21세기 동북아 관광레저의 허브 등 다용도로 활용하기 위함이다. 본지는 바닷내음 물씬 풍기는 광활한 새만금 벌판에서 새만금집단에너지시설 건설공사를 시공 중인 (주)정호이앤씨(대표 최호선) 양석동 현장소장과 원도급 업체인 두산중공업 용환윤 소장을 만났다.

It is widely known that infragravity waves can exert significant influence on wave run-up over beaches. Large run-ups can lead to overwash, flooding and severe coastal erosion. In spite of the importance of infragravity waves in relation to wave run-up and coastal erosion, few studies have been carried out with regard to the impact of infragravity waves on nearshore morphodynamics with respect to eastern beaches in Korea. The purpose of this study is to investigate the importance of infragravity waves in nearshore numerical modelling. For the study, XBeach model was set up to analyze morphodynamics in December 2016, in Ilsan beach which is located in Ilsan-dong, Ulsan Metropolitan City. After validation of the XBeach model, numerical experiments were conducted by using various directional spreading coefficients. As the directional spreading coefficients are increased, the effect of infragravity waves is also enhanced by narrowband frequency. With the increasing effect of infragravity waves, the amount of sediment transport is also increased and an erosion dominant pattern is found in the south part of Ilsan beach and a deposition pattern in the north part of the beach mainly due to the wave incident direction of NNE.

Planting pine trees on the coastal dunes has been carried out along the East coast as well as West coast of South Korea. Although the artificial forestation has been regarded as a good policy that help to protect the coastal area from natural disasters, but its real effect to the landscapes is still unknown. In this study, we have installed a monitoring site with an automated weather station to study requirements for dune formation and its environmental changes in Osan beach, Yangyang-Gun, Gangwon Province. We analyzed the meteorological data collected from 2010 to 2019 and vegetational changes in the study area. As a result, the wind speed is decreased by around 30% and the pine-covered area is increased by around 300m² after planting Japanese Black Pine in 2015. At present, it seems that the eolian transport of sand particle is minimal, because the dominant winds are the westerly winds which is not landward but seaward, and because the surface roughness length is about 0.5m which is similar to that in the deciduous forest.
