Road construction has been worked on by focusing on cost effectiveness such as the reduction of construction costs without understanding the natural environment and ecosystems. In addition, since ecosystems have been destroyed and the habitats of animals and plants have been isolated, wild animals have sought other habitats or have moved into isolated habitats. Thus, issues such as roadkills or the extermination of species are increasingly occurring. Based on this background, the development and application of a general assessment method need to be researched in order to verify whether or not spaces or habitats where animals can be inhabited and their species can be maintained exist. The purpose of this study is to develop an ecosystem map where a conservation value evaluation method considering the functions of an ecosystem where animals live as well as the naturalness of ecosystems is used and can be made into a drawing. The items applied to evaluate the habitat conservation values were naturalness, rarity, and functionality, and sub-items for evaluation were created. GIS as well as the evaluation items were used to create a digital map about the level of importance based on the evaluation criteria. The created digital map showed that it was not limited to the adjustment or distribution of the fauna and flora but was applicable for a general ecosystem evaluation method for the conservation of habitats. It is expected that the isolation of habitats would be able to be minimized if the digital map is used for road construction projects. The digital map is deemed to be able to be used for the construction of environmentally friendly roads, which will minimize the destruction of ecosystems and the isolation of habitats for creatures.

하천은 인간의 활동과 산업화에 의해 많은 인위적인 교란을 받고 있다. 대표적으로 댐과 저수지는 수자원의 이용, 발전, 그리고 다양한 산업화를 위하여 건설되었다. 이는 경제발전과 함께 인간의 생명과 용수 공급 및 홍수 예방의 차원에서 많은 역할을 해오고 있다. 그러나 대부분의 댐과 저수지는 하류 하천에 서식하는 생물들에 대한 영향을 거의 고려하지 않고 건설되는 실정이다. 특히 발전방류와 같은 급격한 유량의 변화는 하류 하천에 서식하는 생물들의 서식처에 직접적으로 영향을 미치고 있다. 하류 하천에 서식하는 생물들은 인간의 인위적 교란에도 영향뿐만 아니라 유속, 수심, 기층, 영양물질, 수질, 온도 등과 같은 서식처 요소에도 영향을 받는다. 따라서 서식처 요소들에 대한 연구는 하천 생태계의 변화 또는 영향을 주는 인자에 대해 평가하고 분석하는데 유용하게 사용된다. 본 연구에서는 댐 발전방류로 인한 수온 차이가 하류 하천에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. 발전방류로 인한 하류 하천의 수온 변화를 모의하기 위하여 미공병단에서 개발된 CE-QUAL-W2 모형을 사용하였다. 대상구간은 괴산댐 하류에 위치한 달천이며 2.5 km구간을 선정하였고, 달천 상류에 위치한 괴산댐은 빈번하게 발전방류를 발생시키고 있다. 발전방류로 인한 하류하천의 수온 변화를 살펴보기 위하여, 여름과 겨울 두 계절의 상반된 경우에 대하여 모의를 수행하였다. 괴산댐의 경우, 중층 및 하층방류를 실시하므로 상대적으로 온도 차이가 심한 발전방류가 하류 하천으로 유입이 된다. 실측된 자료를 살펴보면, 괴산댐에서 발전방류는 하류 하천과의 온도 차이가 약 $10^{\circ}C{\sim}19^{\circ}C$ 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통하여 댐 발전방류로 인한 하류 하천의 수온 변화를 분석함으로써, 댐 하류 하천에서 서식하는 생물들을 고려한 댐 운용 계획을 수립하는데 중요한 기초자료가 될 것으로 기대된다.

Ecosystem biodiversity is rapidly being lost due to changes in habitat, fragmentation of habitat, climate change, and land use changes by human activities. Recently, attempts have been made to approach the watershed management level to secure the health of the watershed, but studies on how to approach biodiversity and habitat management are still in lack. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the habitat quality of Geum river basin using Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST) habitat quality model. The results of habitat quality was verified to eco-natural map and ecological watershed health evaluation results. The habitat quality of watershed was evaluated from 0 to 0.86 and the results showed that habitat quality was higher in upstream than downstream. Compared the habitat quality value in each eco-natural grade, the average habitat quality of 1st, 2nd and 3rd grades were 0.80, 0.76 and 0.71 respectively. The results of the correlation analysis with ecological watershed health data, the coefficient of determination (R²) was 0.58, and the person coefficient was 0.76. The results of this study may be used as foundation data to support habitat protection and implementation of long-term biodiversity-related policies.

하상 변화는 유량이나 유사의 흐름에 따라 침식, 운반, 퇴적되어 변화하며, 하상변동에 의한 결과는 하천의 형태 (직렬,복렬, 곡렬 등)나 서식처의 구조 (여울과 소, 웅덩이, 습지 등) 형성 로 나타난다. 하천이 공간적 시간적 규모가 연계되어 있음에도, 국내에서의 하천 복원 사업은 서식처의 구조나 형태에 중점을 둔 서식처 조성 사업이 주를 이룬다. 하지만 궁극적인 생태하천 복원 및 관리를 위해서는 생태적인 서식처의 구조가 제대로 발현되는 유량이나 유사량과 연계하여, 통합 유역관리가 가능하도록 진행하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 수리 (유량이나 유사량)-지형(서식처 구조)-생태 (생물다양성)을 연계하여 하천의 환경유량을 산정하는 방안을 제안하고자 한다. Nays2D 수리모델링을 활용하여 하상변화를 살펴보고, 수리모델링 결과를 서식처 구조 분포로 해석하여, 서식처가 다양한 유량을 산정하고 제안한다. 수리모델링 이전에 하천건강성 평가에 활용된 하천 생물종 모니터링 결과와 서식처 다양성과의 관계를 우선 분석하고 수리모델링을 진행한다. 본 연구의 대상 하천은 금강 지류인 갑천 약 5 km를 대상으로 2010년대 생물상, 항공사진, 지형데이타 (DEM and 단면도)를 활용한다.

Increasing concern about biodiversity has lead to a rise in demand on the spatial assessment of biological resources such as biodiversity assessment, protected area selection, habitat management and restoration in Korea. The purpose of this study is to create species richness map through data collection and modeling techniques for wildlife habitat assessment. The GAM (Generalized Additive Model) is easy to interpret and shows better relationship between environmental variables and a response variable than an existing overlap analysis and GLM (Generalized Linear Model). The study area delineated by a large watershed contains Jirisan national park, Mt. Baekun and Sumjin river with three kinds of protected areas (a national park, a landscape ecology protected area and an otter protected area). We collected the presence-absence data for wildlife (mammals and birds) using a stratified random sampling based on a land cover in the study area and implemented natural and socio-environmental data affecting wildlife habitats. After doing a habitat use analysis and specifying significant factors for each species, we built habitat suitability models using a presence-absence model and created habitat suitability maps for each species. Biodiversity maps were generated by taxa and all species using habitat suitability maps. Significant factors affecting each species habitat were different according to their habitat selection. Although some species like a water deer or a great tit were distributed at the low elevation, most potential habitats for mammals and birds were found at the edge of a national park boundary or near a forest around the medium elevation of a mountain range. This study will be used for a basis on biodiversity assessment and proected area selection carried out by Ministry of Environment.

Countries around the world, including the Republic of Korea, are participating in efforts to preserve biodiversity. Concerning species, in particular, studies that aim to find potential habitats and establish conservation plans by conducting habitat suitability analysis for specific species are actively ongoing. However, few studies on mid- to long-term changes in suitable habitat areas are based on accumulated information. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the time-series changes in the habitat suitable area and examine the otters' changing pattern (Lutra lutra) designated as Level 1 endangered wildlife in Gangwon-do. The time-series change analysis used the data on otter species' presence points from the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th national natural environment surveys conducted for about 20 years. Moreover, it utilized the land cover map consistent with the survey period to create environmental variables to reflect each survey period's habitat environment. The suitable habitat area analysis used the MaxEnt model that can run based only on the species presence information, and it has been proven to be reliable by previous studies. The study derived the habitat suitability map for otters in each survey period, and it showed a tendency that habitats were distributed around rivers. Comparing the response curves of the environmental variables derived from the modeling identified the characteristics of the habitat favored by otters. The examination of habitats' change by survey period showed that the habitats based on the 2nd National Natural Environment Survey had the widest distribution. The habitats of the 3rd and 4th surveys showed a tendency of decrease in area. Moreover, the study aggregated the analysis results of the three survey periods and analyzed and categorized the habitat's changing pattern. The type of change proposed different conservation plans, such as field surveys, monitoring, protected area establishment, and restoration plan. This study is significant because it produced a comprehensive analysis map that showed the time-series changes of the location and area of the otter habitat and proposed a conservation plan that is necessary according to the type of habitat change by region. We believe that the method proposed in this study and its results can be used as reference data for establishing a habitat conservation and management plan in the future.
