The needs for ecological engineering, which can design ecosystems that integrate human society and their natural environment for the benefit of both, has increased. The Korean Society of Ecology and Infrastructure Engineering (KSEIE) was established for this purpose and has contributed to the research and development of theories and technologies in related fields. However, the current state of educational services and contents of ecological engineering is still needed to be standardized and systematized. In this paper, we outlined the trends of ecological engineering education at international and domestic levels and proposed a sample services and curriculum, brought from the discussions and suggestions made during the forum, Founding the Education for Ecological Engineering, held by the KSEIE. Education of ecological engineering can nurture people who can design and manage ecosystems for the benefits of human and natural society and can restore ecosystems disturbed artificially. The services and curriculum have to meet and cover the challenges facing the future of ecological engineering; a. the ethical interpretation of the balance between human and nature, b. developing and strengthening its relationship with other scientific disciplines and societies - business, policy, education, and practitioners, c. identify and fuse the key ecological engineering principles into other discipline. We proposed a three layers curriculum system, basic (mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, etc.), core (ecology, hydrology, engineering, etc.), and advanced subjects. The first two can belong to an undergraduate program and the last two can be put into graduate program. The selection of subjects is according to the purpose and needs of the major.

Social demand for ecological engineering and technology has increased in tandem with national economic growth in order to improve the environmental capacity of civil infrastructures. To meet this demand, the Korean Society of Ecology and Infrastructure Engineering (KSEIE) was established in January 2013 and has contributed to the development of ecological engineering technologies. However, the establishment of an educational system for human resources training in ecological engineering is still at an early stage, and it is imperative to develop a curriculum for producing the human resources that can understand and apply ecological principles and functions and that is equipped with the abilities required for ecological conservation, restoration, and creation. As part effort, the KSEIE held a forum, entitled Founding the Education for Ecological Engineering, to discuss the establishment of the education system for ecological engineering in Korea. In this paper, based on the discussions and suggestions made during the forum, we analyzed the current status of ecological engineering education in various disciplines - civil and construction engineering, biology and environment, and landscape planning - in domestic universities, and attempted to seek possible solutions based on the cases of foreign universities. Generally, ecology and other application curricula are taught as fragmented subjects and fields in domestic universities. The development of new education strategies and systematic curricula for multidisciplinary education, ecological response to climate change, and the expansion of research fields is required.

Ecosystem services are contributing to human welfare by enabling us to maintain our survival and quality of life. A metod of quantifying ecological functions is needed. We discussed the introduction and applications of ecosystem services to applied ecological engineering. The concept and assessment system of ecosystem services were applied to the economic valuation of river, the construction of blue-green-white network in urban area, ecological restoration, and integrated water management in Korea. The conceptual framework and assessment of ecosystem services can be used to promote value of ecological protection and restoration, helping stakeholders understand the benefits of ecosystems and increasing applications of the applied ecological engineering.

하천 생태환경은 토지이용, 댐건설 및 기후변화 등 외부의 압력에 따른 변화로 인해 오염물 유입, 녹조 발생, 어패류 떼죽음 등 생태계 교란 및 환경변화가 발생한다. 이러한 생태환경 문제를 해결하기 위해 전 세계적으로 하천생태환경시스템 복원이 논의되고 있으며 환경적 측면을 강조한 자연친화적 하천을 목표로 개발 방향이 바뀌고 있다. 이처럼 하천생태환경의 중요성이 커지고 있지만 보다 객관적이고 정량적인 평가를 위한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 낙동강 감천유역을 대상으로 하였으며, 김천부항댐 건설로 인한 생태환경시스템의 변화를 정량적으로 평가하고자 수문변화지표법(Indicators of Hydrologic Alteration, IHA)을 활용하여 33개의 수문변화지표군(IHA Parameters)과 34개 환경유량지표군(Environmental Flow Components Parameters)을 산정하였다. 분석을 위하여 감천유역 선산관측소의 2007년 ~ 2018년까지의 일 유량 자료를 활용하였으며, 댐이 건설된 2014년 1월 1일을 기점으로 댐 건설 전(2007 ~ 2013)과 댐 건설 후(2014 ~ 2018)가 하천생태환경 및 환경유량에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 본 연구를 토대로 지속가능한 하천생태계 보전을 위한 명확한 목표와 효율적인 평가과정을 수립하는 데 도움이 될 것으로 보인다.

국내 외에서 생태 수리해석 및 생태 서식 조건을 충족시키기 위한 최적 생태유량 (생태 유지유량) 산정에 대한 연구는 다양하게 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 상대적으로 생태 유지유량을 확보하기 위한 연구는 기존의 방법에서 크게 변화하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 하천 유지유량을 확보하는 방안은 신규 댐/저수지 개발, 하수처리장 방류수 활용 등과 같은 직접 확보 방안과 댐/저수지 운영 효율 개선, 하천 유수점용허가 관리 등과 같은 간접 확보 방안으로 구분할 수 있다. 그러나 도시 하천에서 유지유량을 확보하기 위해 기존의 방법을 적용하는 것은 현실적으로 한계가 있다. 본 연구는 2차원 물리서식처 모형인 River2D를 이용하여, 물리서식처가 생태유량에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 대상구간은 한강의 제1지류인 홍제천으로 선정하였으며, 대상 구간은 하수처리장 방류수를 통해 유지유량이 확보되고 있으며, 추가적인 유지유량을 확보하기 현실적으로 어려운 구간이다. 물리서식처가 생태유량에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 현재 상태와 추가적인 물리서식처를 고려한 2차원 물리서식처 모의를 진행하였다. 이를 통해 물리서식처를 추가적으로 적용할 경우 현재 상태대비 물리 서식환경이 증가되어 생태유량이 일정부분 확보되는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 도시하천에 물리 서식처를 도입하여 생태 서식공간이 증가함으로써 생태유량을 확보할 수 있는 방안에 대한 방법론을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
