The complex interactions of climate, topography, geology, biota and hwnan activities result in the land cover patterns, which are impacted by natural disturbances such as fire, earthquake and flood. Natural disturbances disrupt ecosystem communities and change the physical environment, thereby generating a new landscape. Community ecologists believe that disturbance is critical in determining how diverse ecological systems function. Fires were once a major agent of disturbance in the North American tall grass prairies, African savannas, and Australian bush. The major focus of this research was to develop stochastic model of spatial process of disturbance or spatial events and simulate the process based on the developed model and it was applied to the fire arrival process in the Great Victoria Desert of Australia, where wildfires generate a mosaic of patches of habitat at various stages of post-fire succession. For this research, Landsat Multi-Spectral Scanner(MSS) data covering the period from 1972 to 1994 were utilized. Fire arrival process is characterized as a spatial point pattern irregularly distributed within a region of space. Here, nonhomogeneous planar Poisson process is proposed as a model for the fire arrival process and rejection sampling thinning the homogeneous Poisson process is used for its simulation.

오늘날 기후변화는 기후 시스템을 구성하는 대기, 해양, 생물, 빙하, 육지 등의 다양한 구성요소에 작용하여 자연 생태계와 인간의 사회 및 경제 시스템에 커다란 영향을 미친다. 특히 최근 인간의 활동에 의해 야기된 기후변화는 극치적인 기후 현상의 빈도와 강도에 영향을 미칠 뿐만 아니라, 기후변화 현상은 수환경 시스템, 하천 생태계와 유역관리 등의 다양한 분야에 걸쳐 심각한 문제를 발생시킨다. 이에 따른 수자원의 효율적인 관리와 안정적인 물공급에 어려움을 증대시킬 것으로 전망되며, 현재 이것은 각 분야별로 해결해야 할 범지구적 문제로 인식되고 있다. 기후변화를 탐지하고 예측하기 위해서는 SRES 배출시나리오를 이용한 미래의 기후변화 장기시나리오가 필요한데, 이를 위한 기본적인 도구로 전지구기후모형(Global Climate Models, GCMs)이 있다. 기후변화에 따른 지역적 차원의 수자원에의 영향 분석을 위해서는 GCMs의 결과를 바탕으로 지역 규모에서의 기후 자료로 변환하는 규모내림(downscaling) 기법을 이용한다. 본 연구는 기후변화 분석의 가장 기본이라 할 수 있는 국내에 적합한 GCM의 선정 및 우리나라의 시공간적 기상패턴의 정밀한 구현을 위한 규모내림기법의 적용을 통하여 실시하였다. 현재 뿐 아니라 미래 90년간 (2011년 ~ 2100년)의 기상 자료를 생산하고 이를 SWAT 모형에 적용하였다. 이러한 GCMs-규모내림-SWAT 모형으로 이어지는 시나리오 기반의 기후변화에 대한 낙동강 유역의 유출 분석은 기후변화 연구에 기술적 방법론의 제시와 함께 앞으로 타 유역에의 적용을 통하여 보다 정량적이고 신뢰성 있는 전국 단위의 기후변화에 따른 유출 분석연구의 기초가 될 수 있을 것이라 기대한다.

Before 2022, there was a lot of confusion in the process of planning and implementing the projects for ecological restoration of the stream due to dualization the principal agent of stream management. Because the Ministry of Environment took charge of the project in 2022, securing the health of aquatic ecosystem of stream became an essential factor in the project. Therefore, in this study, the streams that require the project for ecological restoration was selected in Han River estuary, where it is essential to secure the health of the stream aquatic ecosystem as blackish water zone and Ramsar wetland are located. Physical, chemical, spatial/humanistic, health of aquatic ecosystems evaluation indexes were calculated based on the detailed facts and figures of the project for ecological restoration of the stream in the beginning. Ranking, re-scaling, z-score, and t-score normalization methods were applied to the calculated evaluation index, and the values were compared and analyzed. After that, the entropy weight method was applied to each evaluation index. Through this process, the streams(Mokgamcheon, Anyangcheon etc.) that require the project for ecological restoration were selected for the purpose of securing the health of the aquatic ecosystem in Han River estuary. The result of this study can be used as basic research data in the process of selecting the priority determination of the projects for ecological restoration of the stream.

The Yellow sea, as described in article 123 of UNCLOS, is semi-enclosed sea surrounded by the Republic of Korea, the People's Republic of China and North Korea. In addition, the Yellow Sea is one of the 66 large marine ecosystems as it contains large amounts of marine resources. According to article 194 of UNCLOS, states should be aware of rights and duties with respect to the protection and preservation of the marine environment to be engaged with countries directly as regional entity or indirectly. Therefore, the legal blank is urgent in terms of trans-boundary environmental pollutant issues. The UNDP has conducted a project called Yellow Sea Large Marine Ecosystem (YSLME) which has reached the 2^nd phase. The project has some notable achievements, namely performing joint activities on analysis of diagnostic trans-boundary issues in collaboration with China and South Korea, developing a strategic action plan based on TDA, and establishing regional strategic action plan. However, on the other hand, the project could not reflect the full participation of North Korea as a state party. As a result, the project has a limitation on effective implementation of RSAP. Therefore, this study focuses on the suggestion of a legally-binding trilateral treaty as a blue print for the next, 3^rd phase of the project. By analyzing the best practice of the Wadden Sea Trilateral Treaty case, the study verifies the validity of legislative measures on establishing and managing a legally-binding trilateral YSLME Commission. By suggesting a three phase treaty, incorporating a joint declaration by establishing the commission, the signing of the treaty, and formulating an umbrella convention and implementation arrangement, the study expects to guarantee the consistency and sustainability of the trilateral treaty regardless of political issues pertaining to North Korea.

This study aims to analyze the change process in order to set the improvement strategies for the zoo in the Seoul Children's Grand Park. The zoo can be reviewed through three significant time periods with noticeable changes. As a framework to analyze the major changes that happened in the zoo, this study looks at the changes in terms of the planning aspect as well as the animal welfare and program operation aspect. The findings are as follows: first, the era of general theme park turned out to have focused on exhibiting animals to meet visitor demands by expanding the zoo area of the zoo without enlarging stockyards for the animals. Second, the environmental park era created a zoo having entertaining and educational functions by arranging animal houses with the concept of zoological taxonomy and introducing animal behavioral enrichment, animal welfare programs and visitor participatory programs. The era of the zoo as an Urban Cultural Park improved old animal houses and facilities for the welfare of the animals and increased educational programs to preserve species and provide environmental education. The current status of the zoo turns out not to meet the conditions for creating an ecological zoo, which is the overall goal for contemporary zoos. The improvement strategies based on the analysis through three different eras are three-fold. First, the zoo needs to improve the boundary conditions of the animals to showcase animal wildness through landscape immersion. Second, the zoo should provide a shared environment for animals from the same habitats by changing the classification methods from the existing polyphyletic taxon to a classification that considers ecological habitat. Third, the zoo needs to develop various ecological education programs by supplementing specialists in professional education.

국내에서는 과거부터 현재까지 하천을 이수, 치수, 하천환경 등 기능별로 구분하여 관리해 오고 있다. 하지만 하천을 보다 합리적으로 관리하기 위해서는 종합적인 관점에서 접근이 필요하며 하천의 현 상황을 제대로 파악하는 것이 무엇보다 중요하다. 하천을 평가하기 위해 제방축조율, 수질 등 다양한 하천지표 및 평가기법들이 개발되어 왔으나 치수 이수 환경 친수 등 하천의 다양한 기능 중 특정 기능들에 대해서만 단편적으로 진단해 오고 있는 실정이다. 또한 4대강 사업, 생태하천조성 등 다양한 하천사업이 시행되고 있어 그 성과와 필요성을 정량적으로 평가 관리할 수 있는 제도 마련이 필요하며, 하천 기능을 종합적으로 진단하고 이를 객관적으로 정량화할 수 있는 체계 구축이 매우 절실하다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 건전한 하천종합관리체계 구축을 위해 하천의 기능인 이수, 치수, 하천환경 및 친수 요소간의 조화와 평가가 가능한 정량적 지표 및 지수의 개발이 필요하다. 보다 건전한 하천관리체계 구축을 위한 국가 수자원 정책 결정 시 정책결정자가 보다 다양한 정보를 획득하고 이를 통한 분석정보를 바탕으로 여러 가지 대안을 도출할 수 있어야 하며 이는 여러 가지 정보를 종합한 지표를 통해 보다 쉽게 얻을 수 있다. 하천의 다양한 기능에 대한 정보를 종합하여 지표화함으로써 정책결정자는 여러 가지 경우를 고려한 다양한 대안을 검토할 수 있게 되어 최적의 대안 도출이 가능해진다(건설교통부, 2006). 본 연구에서는 한정된 수자원을 다양한 목적과 제약조건을 충족시키면서 효율적으로 이용, 보전하기 위해 하천의 다양한 정보의 연계, 공유를 통한 통합관리체계 구축을 하고자 하천 특성을 표현할 수 있는 다수의 대리변수를 조사, 분석하였다. 또한 조사된 대리변수들 중 하천의 각 기능에 미치는 영향을 충분히 고려하여 대리변수를 선정하고 이를 통해 잠재지표를 선정하였다. 선정된 잠재지표를 이용하여 하천의 각 기능을 평가할 수 있는 하천종합관리지표를 개발하여 국내 국가하천에 적용함으로써 하천 특성의 시공간적인 변화를 분석하였다. 개발된 지표를 통해 국내 하천관련 사업에 대한 B&A 분석을 수행하여 사업 성과를 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 지표는 하천관련 사업의 전, 후 상황을 분석함으로써 사업효과를 분석할 수 있으며 하천관련 사업의 효과에 대한 대국민 홍보효과를 가져올 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In a virtual aquarium, the behavior of fish objects is the most important factor in respect of visual effects. In addition to the individual behavior of fish object, the interactions between objects due to their attributes, can improve the dynamics and reality of the virtual world. In this paper, we analyze the principal habits of fish objects such as the vitality, the range of movement, the maximum depth of water they can live, and the cycle of eating. Then, we suggest a method for simulating the stable marine ecosystem with controlling the behaviors, the interaction with other species, the average span of life, and all that sort of thing based on the result of analysis. Because we can freely modify the behavior of fish object by altering the values of attributes, it can be utilized in the dynamic virtual aquarium, the 3D aquarium screen saver, and the virtual fish game, and so on.

In recent years, there has been an active movement toward databasing, systematizing, and unifying environmental information. Such efforts facilitate the utilization of spatial environment planning in environment conservation officially planned at the metropolitan and provincial levels. This in turn clarifies the management direction of space, thereby serving as an effective tool with which to not only conserve land, but also provide a reasonable compromise to all the related solutions at odds with one another. As such, this study forwards a method for inclusion of spatial environment planning in environment conservation plans, paying particular attention to the place, with in such a planning method, of the natural ecosystem, arguably the most sensitive arena among environmental factors. Spatial environment planning can be broadly divided as follows: first, basic direction; second, collection of spatial information; third, compilation of status of spatial environment; and fourth, management strategy for spatial environment. In particular, the second phase, namely the collection of spatial information, delineates clearly spatial information hitherto amassed by government agencies at both the national and local levels; the ensuing lists facilitate maximum utilization of the previously accumulated data. Used during the planning phase, status maps should include not only the status of land use(land cover), but also systematic data on the superior resources of the natural ecosystem as well as the status of the given spatial environment. Establishing plans for ecological networks, their conservation, and restoration areas based on the aforementioned aspects, this study sought to formulate ways in which to spatialize environment conservation plans that encompass consideration for the natural ecosystem. Devised based previous studies and examples, the compilation of status and plans as stated, applied to Gyeonggi Province, afforded an examination of the potential applicability and usability of the proposed plans. Ultimately, these will contribute not only to the establishment of plans encompassing consideration for the value and level of significance of the given natural ecosystem in spatial development planning, but also provide fundamental data for investigating appropriateness of plans and validity of location in any regional development plan.

본 연구는 서울과 5대 광역시를 대상으로 (1) 과거추세가 연장되는 시나리오와 (2) 최근 활발하게 논의되고 있는 스마트 성장, 컴펙트 개발 등을 고려한 도시성장 시나리오를 전제로 미래의 토지이용의 변화를 예측하였다. 토지이용 변화 예측에는 로지스틱 회귀 분석을 기반으로 한 CLUE-s(Conservation of Land Use and its Effects at Small regional extent) 모형을 이용하였다. 토지이용 변화예측을 위해 WAMIS(WAter Management Information System)에서 제공하는 1975년부터 2000년까지의 5년 단위의 토지이용별 통계자료와 환경부에서 제공하는 2008년 토지이용도를 구축하였으며, 각 토지이용 항목은 총 6가지(시가지, 수역, 산림, 논, 밭, 초지)로 재분류하였다. 도시성장 시나리오는 지자체 조례에 따른 물리적 개발기준과 국토 환경성 평가 지도를 바탕으로 개발 제한 구역을 설정하고, 미래 인구변화와 토지수요 수요량 추정을 통해 미래 토지이용 변화 예측 시나리오를 구축하였다. 또한 도로망, 하천망과 유효 토심, 토양통 등을 고려한 토양 속성을 토지 피복 변화 예측을 위한 모형의 동적 요소(driving factor)로 대입하였다. 두 가지의 시나리오를 통해 미래 토지 이용 변화 예측결과 각 시나리오에 따라 확연히 다른 양상의 토지이용 변화 패턴을 보였다. 과거추세가 연장되는 시나리오에서는 물리적인 토지개발 기준 범위 내에서 무작위로 토지이용이 변화하며 시가지가 급속하게 성장하는 패턴을 보여주었다. 반면, 도시성장 시나리오를 전제로 하였을 경우 기존의 시가지와 연계하여 인근에 위치한 미개발지가 시가지로 변화하는 양상을 보였으며, 로그 추세로 증가 혹은 감소하는 패턴에 따라 변화폭이 줄어들며 종래에는 각 토지이용의 변화량이 0%로 수렴하는 모습을 보였다. 토지이용 변화 비율은 두 가지 시나리오 모두 주로 산지와 농지가 감소하고 시가지가 증가하는 모습을 보였다. 본 연구를 통해 구축한 미래 토지이용 변화 시나리오는 수문생태계에 큰 영향을 주는 지표의 변화에 대해 회귀분석을 기반으로 정량적인 예측을 가능케 함으로써 기후변화 시나리오 등 다양한 미래 예측 시나리오와의 접목을 통해 미래 수자원 예측 연구에 활용도를 높일 수 있을 것이라 기대한다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of lime fertilization and light intensity on beech regeneration strategy in a mature beech forest(ca. 150 years old) gaps, which was located in the soiling areas Germany, where the soil is an acid brown earth. For the experiment canopy gaps of 30m diameter were cut, and one canopy gap remained as untreated while the other was limed(3t dolomite h $a^{-1}$). Soil chemistry, soil water potential, light intensity(PAR), ground vegetation, beech seedlings and mycorrhiza were investigated along transect from the stands into gaps to the north. The results of this study are followings: 1) In the limed gap, soil chemistry was greatly improved and a vigorous herb layer developed as compared to the unlimed gap. 2) Development and growth of the beech seedlings in the unlimed gap were generally deficient. Specially, developments of lateral roots were very lack. 3) Through the lime fertilization, the minerals contents of beech leaves such as calcium(Ca) and magnesium(Mg) were increased, while manganese(Mn) was decreased. There was antagonism between potassium(K) and calcium(Ca) or magnesium(Mg). 4) The relative mycorrhiza frequency(RM) in beech seedlings of the southern edge was very higher than that of the middle part, and through the lime fertilization extension of the species Laccaria amethystina appeared clearly. The results of this study showed that lime fertilize in forest, where the soil is acid, will be necessary..
