This study suggests the method of green infrastructure (GI) application which helps proper distribution of structural GI and non-structural GI by using land characteristics assessment and performs the case study. Land assessment standard consists of land cover type, fragmentation degree, proximity degree to residential districts, and cluster degree of fragmented areas which represents the quality of green network. The result of assessment proposes the land suitability to preserve or develop and it can be utilized to choose the type of the green infrastructures.

서낙동강은 당초 낙동강 본류였으나 1934년 김해평야 일원의 농업용수 공급을 위하여 건설된 대저수문과 녹산수문의 완공 이후 현재의 상태로 유지되고 있다. 서낙동강은 대저수문을 통한 유입과 녹산수문, 녹산배수펌프장을 통한 방류가 시행되고 있으며, 이러한 운영은 외해 조위조건에 따라 간헐적으로 운영되고 있어서, 수체의 정체로 인한 오염도가 높은 실정이다. 또한, 서낙동강 유역은 에코델타시티 등 다양한 개발계획이 수립됨에 따라 수질관리를 위한 여건도 변화할 것으로 예상되며, 이러한 개발에 따른 다양한 수질개선에 대한 사회적 요구가 증대됨에 따라 이를 위한 물순환 개선과 유역에서의 오염부하 저감 등 다양한 수질개선 대책이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 그간 서낙동강을 대상으로 시행되었던 연구결과와 현재 시행중인 물순환에 대한 효과를 검토하고, 이를 정량화하기 위한 2차원 수리 수질모형(CE-QUAL-W2)을 구축 활용하여 현행 물순환 방안의 운영 효과를 분석하고자 하였다. 당초 환경영향평가시 제시되었던 대저수문과 맥도수문을 통한 유입과 맥도배수펌프장을 통한 유출로 서낙동강, 평강천, 맥도강의 수질을 개선하고자 했던 물순환 계획은 여러 가지 여건으로 인해 시행되지 못하고 있으며, 현재는 매주 강서구청에서 맥도배수펌프장을 이용하여 평강천과 맥도강의 수위를 저하시킨 이후 서낙동강의 하천수를 유입시키는 형태로 물순환을 시행하고 있다. 이러한 현행 물순환 방안에 대한 분석을 위하여 서낙동강, 평강천, 맥도강 구간에 대하여 2차원 수리 수질모형(CE-QUAL-W2)을 이용하여 모의한 결과 현재의 물순환 방법으로는 물순환 유량이 증가하더라도 수질개선에 한계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 서낙동강에 낙동강 하천수가 대저수문을 통하여 유입된 이후 장기간 체류함에 따라 유역에서의 오염물질 유입의 영향이 크게 나타나며, 이에 따라 평강천과 맥도강에 유입되는 경우 수질개선이 제한적인 것으로 판단된다. 추가적으로 현재 서낙동강 대비 상대적으로 수질이 양호한 낙동강 본류의 하천수를 신규 수문 등의 시설물을 통하여 유입시키는 조건에 대한 분석 결과 현행 물순환 대비 효과가 크며 당초 예상했던 환경영향평가시 목표수질을 달성할 수 있을 것으로 판단보다 상세한 분석과 검토가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Natural environmental ecology ofthe environmental impact assessment(EIA)is very much lacking in quantitative evaluation. Thus, this study attempted to evaluate quantitative assessment for ecosystem service in the site of Eco-delta project in Busan. As a part of climate change adaptation, this study evaluated and compared with the value for carbon fixation and habitat quality using the InVEST model before and after development with three alternatives of land-use change. Carbon fixation showed 216,674.48 Mg of C (year 2000), and 203,474.25 Mg of C (year 2015)reducing about 6.1%, and in the future of year 2030 the value was dropped to 120,490.84 Mg of C which is 40% lower than year 2015. Alternative 3 of land use planning was the best in terms of carbon fixation showing 6,811.31 Mg of C. Habitat quality also changed from 0.57 (year 2000), 0.35 (year 2015), and 0.21 (year 2030) with continued degradation as development goes further. Alternative 3 also was the highest with 0.21(Alternative 1 : 0.20, Alternative 2 : 0.18). In conclusion,this study illustrated that quantitative method forland use change in the process of EIA can helpdecision making for stakeholders anddevelopers with serving the best scenario forlow impact of carbon. Also it can help better for land use plan, greenhouse gas and natural environmental assets in EIA. This study could be able to use in the environmental policy with numerical data of ecosystem and prediction. Supplemented with detailed analysis and accessibility of basic data, this method will make it possible for wide application in the ecosystem evaluation.

The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) plays a pivotal role in predicting the potential environmental impacts of proposed developments and planning appropriate mitigation measures to minimize effects on species. However, as concerns over biodiversity loss rise, there's ongoing debate about the efficacy of these mitigation plans. In this study, we utilized data from EIAs and post-environmental impact surveys to understand the trends in biodiversity during construction and operation phases. By examining 30 urban development projects, we categorized species richness indices of mammals, birds, amphibians, and reptiles into pre-construction, during construction, and post-construction operational stages. The biodiversity trends were analyzed based on the rate of change in these indices. The results revealed three distinct biodiversity change patterns: (A) An initial increase in biodiversity indices post-development, followed by a gradual decline over time; (B) a sustained increase in biodiversity as a result of mitigation measures; and (C) a continuous decline in biodiversity post-development. Furthermore, all species exhibited a higher rate of biodiversity decline during the construction phase compared to the operational phase, with mammals showing the most significant rate of change. Notably, the biodiversity change rate during operation was generally lower than during construction. In particular, mammals seemed to be most influenced by mitigation measures, displaying the smallest rate of change. This study provides empirical evidence on the efficacy of mitigation measures and deliberates on ways to enhance their effectiveness in minimizing the adverse impacts of urban development on biodiversity. These findings can serve as foundational data for addressing terrestrial biodiversity reduction.

The study was conducted to develop an effective forest resources use models for an alternate use of abandoned quarry by an attitude survey. According to the result of survey, a pessimistic view due to dust, noise pollution, and forest damage was 5% higher than an affirmative view by economic benefits from the development of quarry. The 42% of the respondents preferred the alternate use of abandoned quarry and the 25% of the respondents wanted an art and cultural space. The optimum size of alternate use was 5-10 ha (43%) with the requirement of nearby residents (32%). According to the SWOT analysis for abandoned quarry, the strength factors were an effective use of land, the content development of modern industrial inheritance + cultural and art fusion, attraction for nearby city and visitors, a harmony of beauty landscape and clean environment, and a sustainable increase of domestic and foreign visitors with the 5-day-work week. The opportunity factors were the improvement of traffic networks through KTX and local highway, the creation of the new growth engines with the establishment of artistic creation belts, the providing of unique cultural and art space through grafting of tour and education, the creation of local income through stone processed goods, and the vitalization of local development through eco-city. The weakness factors were a psychological remoteness and backwardness, and the weakness of staying tour infra. The threat factors were a poor financial support for sustainable development in nearby quarry and a modify of legal and institutional system for the alternated use of abandoned quarry. The developed restoration models for the alternate use in abandoned quarry are classified to a sculpture park, a waterfall and lake park, a rock-climbing, a sports park + forest park, a native botanical garden, a culture and art park, a complex park, a water storage site, a water storage site to extinguish forest fire, a geriatric hospital, an agricultural facility, and a school site types etc. The results suggest that the alternate use in the abandoned soil and stone quarry is needed to establish facility use models with consideration of user's preference.
