Nature rehabilitation has become a major theme in river management in South Korea. An analysis and evaluation of the landscape is a crucial step to select the suitable tracts for developing or conserving land use in the process of landscape planning. The purpose of this paper is to establish a hierarchical procedure for the setting of the landscape units on the various scales at which field biologists performed their observations and to select the preserves through by a suitability model for synthesizing the ecological empirical, and biophysical data. An evaluation process needs to be performed according to the landscape scales: site, local, and regional scales, at which the environmental data were collected, analyzed, and synthesized. Introducing of three level scales was crucially necessary for evaluating the various multi level ecological data for zoning of preserves in river corridors. The evaluation level at different scales are hierarchically established into three phases. The first evaluation phase can be performed by the long length units defined by the ranges of stream widths at regional scale. Secondly, each of these long units can be divided into two or more segments according to its landscape homogeneity at local level. Finally the segments at the last phase can be designated according to the location of the reservoir weirs and bridges at site level. The conceptual model components are adopted for collecting, evaluating, and interpreting the biological and abiotic data at site level. Three preserves are selected, having high potentials for being intensely managed as the Ecological Education Areas in the river. Despite a lot of assumption the results are expected to facilitate discussion and decision making about which frameworks of evaluation are desirable and adaptable for integrating the ecological data into the rehabilitation design process in South Korea.

여름철 발생하는 집중호우는 해안지역 및 하천유역의 저지대에 상습적인 침수를 유발하며, 도시지역은 높은 불투수율로 인해 추가적인 침수 피해가 발생하는 경우가 많다. 본 연구에서는 폭함수를 통해 하천망의 공간적인 특성을 함수형태로 나타내어 유역의 수문분석에 이용하는 폭함수 단위도법(WFIUH, Width Function Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph)을 소개하고, 적용성을 검토하기 위하여 실제 유역 및 강우 사상에 적용해보았다. WFIUH는 기존의 집중형 수문모형과 다르게 매개변수를 물리적으로 결정할 수 있으며, 유역특성과 시공간적 변동성을 수문곡선 산정에 반영할 수 있는 장점이 있다. WFIUH의 적용성을 검토하기 위하여 2003년 한반도에 심각한 침수피해를 입힌 태풍 매미로 인해 발생한 강우사상과 그로인해 큰 피해가 있었던 마산 지역의 남천, 삼호천 일부 유역을 대상으로 강우-유출 분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과 범용 수문모형인 HEC-HMS와 비교 시 유사한 결과를 보이며, 실제 관측치와도 유사한 결과를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 강우의 이동을 반영하여 강우의 이동이 수문곡선과 첨두유량에 미치는 영향을 비교분석 하였다.

The purpose of this study is to compare a habitat suitability grid unit included within a radius of 100m and $1km^2,\;2km^2,\;4km^2$ watershed units in order to predict suitable habitats for Chungcheong province's endangered leopard species(Prionailurus bengalensis). Other developed countries have carried out habitat assessment and established management policies for species conservation using such methods as HEP(Habitat Evaluation Procedures), HSI(Habitat Suitability Index) and GAP(Gap Analysis Program), etc. In accordance with these studies, many evaluation methods for habitat conservation have been proposed in Korea, but these studies are lacking in consideration of analytic units and general application of analysis results. This study predicted leopard habitat using a logistic regression analysis according to analytic units by data from 56 location and 8 sources of environmental data, including elevation, slope, forest area, land cover, roads, water, broadleaf trees, and human habitation. Moreover, the habitat suitability assessment unit was confirmed by a model comparison process encompassing model explanation. verification, and application on a regional scale. Results showed that assessment methods that took into consideration areas in and around the location points were beneficial in predicting habitat and that the assessment unit was appropriate for a 30m grid unit including areas within a radius of 100m and a $1km^2$ watershed unit in Chungcheong Province. This study suggests a method for regional habitat conservation to complement existing conservation area selection methods, and the results are expected to be used in conservation area selection and ecosystem management policies for endangered species.

Recently, data gathering and algorithm developing are in progress for the GIS application using point feature. Several researches prove that verification of the spatial clustering and evaluation of inter-dependencies between event and control are possible. On the other hand, most of the point features as GIS data are gathered by indirect method, such as address geo-coding, rather than by direct method, such as field surveying. Futhermore, lots of statistics by administrative district based on the point features have no coordinates information of the points. In this study, calculating the K-index in GIS environment, to evaluate the effect of aggregation of raw data on K-index, K-indices estimated from raw data (parcel unit), topographically aggregated data (block unit), administratively aggregated data (administrative district unit) are compared and evaluated. As a result, point feature, highly clustered in local area, is largely distorted when aggregated administratively. But, the K-indices of topographically aggregated data is very similar to the K-indices of raw data.

The general urban plan is the plane plan which limits general and uniformed constructions; however, the district unit plan is the solid plan that can leads various constructions by discriminating by plot, housing area and lot. Therefore, for the zone plan, not only the two-dimensional plot information such as plot usage plan, but also the three-dimensional plot information needs to be used to analyze lighting, sewerage and directions. To fulfill such requirements, the information can be gathered using GIS and photogrammetric method for the reasonable and efficient zone plan. In this research, the information about the testing area for the zone plan has been gathered using GIS method, and the three-dimensional model about the area has been built using the satellite image and DEM. As the result, plot usage analysis, direction analyst, water system analysis, and slope analysis has been done and used efficiently to build the district unit plan. Also, after the result after applying the analyzed result to the actual area says this is very appropriate and efficient.

The typical unit infrastructure cost estimation techniques adopted so far in implementing the Korean Impact Fee Zoning have rather been centered around the unilateral simple cost models. The techniques, as such, have frequently been criticized for their lack of flexibility in properly reflecting the regional differences as well as the peculiarities of individual development projects. The Ministry of Land, Transport, and Maritime Affairs (MLTM), in this regard, has recently introduced an enhanced alternative technique. Using the NGIS data, the study probes the viability of the MLTM's new technique by testing the entire estimation process based on the case area in Ansung City. Reflecting the City's characteristics, the study assumes a composite land use plan that accommodates the industrial area in addition to typical residential areas. As an extensive empirical case study, the research has found from the new technique considerable technical merits to overcome the existing shortcomings and summarized its significant policy implications.

Recently, there has been a lot of discussion about the regional pricing of electricity and electricity self-sufficiency. In Korea, power generation facilities are highly ubiquitous and there is an imbalance between electricity production and consumption regions. So it is proposed to charge different price by region, instead of the current nationwide uniform price, and the regional electricity self-sufficiency rate is proposed as a criterion for identifying electricity production and consumption regions. However, many discussions set the spatial unit for measuring electricity self-sufficiency by 17 Si·Do, which needs to be analyzed for its appropriateness. In this study, we analyzed the electricity self-sufficiency rate using 17 provinces and 229 Si·Gun·Gu as the spatial unit. As a result of the analysis, there are 7 and 10 electricity producing and consuming regions at Si·Do level, but 38 and 191 at Si·Gun·Gu level. In addition, although the electricity self-sufficiency rate measurement has the advantage of identifying electricity production and consumption areas in a simple and intuitive way, we points out that it has some problems with the criteria for regional pricing of electricity.

Recently, many researchers have studied on the estimation of groundwater storage and its usable amount in Korea. Those studies were, however, mostly on the groundwater recharge amount over the nation or for the large extent of areas. On the other hand, it has been also needed to study on the regional recharge rate for the planning of groundwater management or for the assessment of groundwater development impacts. In this paper, two practical methods for the estimation of regional groundwater recharge have been studied and proposed, which are $\circled1$ the estimation of the groundwater recharge due to the SCS-CN infiltration method, and $\circled2$ the estimation of groundwater recharge ratio by analyzing groundwater level hydrographs.

In Korea, metropolitan cities and provinces are responsible for setting up their own Regional Forest Plans to manage the forests at regional scales distinguished by administrative boundaries, and the role of the plans are very crucial by linking the Forest Basic Plan for nationwide forest management policy with Forest Management Plans for local-level forest management practices. Thus, the analysis of forest resources at regional levels is required to make more efficient regional forest plans by properly reflecting regional forest situations. This study aims to present which species are concentrated at each individual metropolitan city or province, contributing to more efficiently establishing its regional forest plan. In order to measure the concentration levels of species for each region, Location Quotient and Relative-Specialization Index are computed using area- and volume-data for the major species selected in the Statistical Yearbook of Forestry. As a result, the ranks among the indices of the major species for each individual municipal city and province are presented. The results from this study can contribute to the selection of regional target species and establishment of regional forest management objectives. Further study regarding the differences between the results from area-based and volume-based indices will be helpful to consider regional level productivity by species into the regional forest plans.

Currently, collections with public libraries are evaluated only on the basis of simple data, such as the use volume of collections with individual libraries, and interlibrary lending (ILL) results. To promote the ILL of regional libraries and raise the use of collections, however, the evaluation of collections should be expanded from individual libraries to regional libraries. This study aims to propose user-oriented methods for evaluating the library collections within a regional library system by using four kinds of data: collection, acquisition, circulation, and ILL application data. The results of this study show that the proposed method can reveal the positions of each library within a regional library system, and also the characteristics of a library's collections and users' needs more precisely.
