The aim of this study is to perform community analysis and biological assessment of water quality using benthic macroinvertebrate from Wangpi-cheon watershed which is defined as conservation areas of ecosystem and landscape by ministry of environment in Korea. Field survey of the study area was carried out 2 times from June to September in 2012. As a result of the field survey, total 155 species of benthic macroinvertebrates in 74 families, 15 orders, 7 classes and 5 phyla were collected. The findings of community analysis using the classified species and individuals showed relatively low DI(Dominant Index) value of 0.22 and very high value of average H'(Diversity index) as 4.24. And the analyzed results of SI(Similarity Index) according to habitat types using functional feeding groups showed higher values of 94.51% and 93.19% respectively to tributary and main stream after the designation of conservation areas of ecosystem and landscape. These results infer that various species and lots of individual are widely distributed at Wangpi-cheon watershed and stream ecosystem of the study area is healthy and well maintained after the designation of conservation areas. And also, the calculated EPT value was 62.9% as high enough to explain the cleanness of Wangpi-cheon watershed. We evaluated environmental condition and biological water quality by using ESB(Ecological Score of Benthic macroinvertebrate community) and KSI(Korean Saprobic Index). The average evaluated ESB shows very high value of 208.2, therefore Wangpi-cheon watershed is designated as 'First priority protection waters' area and the value of KSI is 0.32 which meets the saprobic water quality standard as 'First class'.

The aims of this study were to analyze the physico-chemical factors and the characteristics of epilithic diatom community from 15 sites of the Naeseongcheon and tributaries located in the upper region of the Nakdong river from May to October 2016. The biological water quality was assessed using DAIpo and TDI. A total of 163 diatom taxa were identified with 2 orders, 3 suborders, 9 families, 35 genera, 145 species, 16 varieties and 2 forms. Cocconeis placentula var. lineata appeared at every examined sites. Achnanthes lanceolata, Nitzschia fonticola, Nitzschia inconspicua and Reimeria sinuata were common taxa of the Naeseongcheon. Nitzschia inconspicua and Achnanthes minutissima were major dominant species. As a result of the CCA, Electrical conductivity and total nitrogen concentration were important factors determining the diatom species composition. In the result of the biological assessment using DAIpo, the Naeseongcheon was rated at class B with an average of 62.38. In the result of assessment using TDI, the Naeseongcheon was rated at class C with an average of 66.12.

It was found that vascular plants distributed at Yeondo islet were composed of 107 families, 312 genera, 408 species, 2 subspecies, 51 varieties and 5 forms, totaling 466 taxa. 39 species including Myrica rubra among the 466 taxa were evergreen broad-leaved tree, and as for flora region science-based specially designated plants by the Ministry of Environment, it was surveyed that 85 taxa(46 families, 70 genera, 80 species and 5 varieties) were distributed by identifying 53 taxa in grade one, 1 taxa in grade two, 26 taxa in grade three, 3 taxa in grade four, and Milletia japonica and Arisaema negishii in grade five. In the naturalized plants, a total of 42 taxa(13 families, 37 genera, 40 species and 2 varieties) were surveyed to be distributed and the ratio of their naturalization and Urbanization Index was analyzed to be 9.01% and 14.63%, respectively. Life form spectra bore a type of H-Dl-R5-e. Vegetation of Yeondo islet are classified as Pinus thunbergii community and Castanopsis sieboldii community, and Miscanthus sinesis var. purpurascens community spread on an gently slanted mountain side.

Seorak had been researched from 1984 to 2010, and this research revealed 994 taxa in total, including 814 species, 1 subspecies, 122 varieties and 57 forms in 463 genera, 109 families. Among them were 53 taxa of Korean endemic species, 60 taxa of rare and endangered species, and 248 taxa of specially designated species in view of floristics by the Ministry of Environment, which includes 42 taxa of grade V, 27 taxa of grade IV, 58 taxa of grade III, 57 taxa of grade II, and 64 taxa of grade I. With regard to the naturalized plants, 60 taxa were recognized, and Compositae taxa was distributed in highest ratio, accounting for 31.7%, and naturalization ratio was found to be 6.0%. Furthermore, hemicryptophytes (27.6%), geophytes (25.0%) and phanerophytes (21.8%) showed high proportional ratio in life form spectrum.

Mt. Seokseong is located $37^{\circ}15'15'{\sim}37^{\circ}17'00'N$ in latitude at $127^{\circ}09'30'{\sim}127^{\circ}11'00'E$ in longitude in Yongin. The investigated vascular plants consist of total 293 taxa: five forms, 45 varieties, 243 species, 175 genera, 75 families, 34 orders, four classes. Twenty two special plants designated by Environment Ministry were investigated: five grade for one taxon, four grade for one taxon, three grade for six taxa, two grade fay three taxa, and one grade for 11 taxa. As for the useful plants, there were 141 taxa of edible ones (48.1%), 68 taxa of medicinal ones (23.2%), 33 taxa of ornamental ones (11.3%), 62 taxa of industrial ones (21.2%), and two taxa of poisonous ones (0.7%) respectively. As the above results, there are abundant plant resources in this area. But it needed to protect natural resources in this area, because of threatening factors such as urbanization and/or industralization in the adjacent area.
