To evaluate the sustainability assessment of eco-tourism resources, the assessment of Upo wetland was conducted by defining mathematical assessment models, by developing assessment indicators and by calculating the weight of main factors affecting on the sustainability through questionnaires analysis of 135 eco-tourism experts group. After that, the current sustainability grade level for Upo wetland was confirmed, and grade-level enhancement measures on each items were proposed. Although, this paper was focused on Upo wetland, but it is meaningful to prepare for the foundation in the sense of assessing scientifically and systematically the sustainability by providing concrete research model and method for the sustainability assessment of eco-tourism resources.

It was investigated what is the reasonable landcover classification system for the nonpoint pollution models. According to the parameters of the nonpoint pollution models, runoff curve number, crop management factor and Manning's roughness coefficient, the landcover classification system was proposed to manage the drainage basin of the Woopo wetland. Also, the rule-based classification method was adopted to extract the landcover information for this study area.

This study investigates to explain preference heterogeneity of respondents for economic valuation in washland of Upo wetland using Mixed Logit Model and Latent Class Model. Mixed Logit Model showed respondent heterogeneity in the attributes of wetland area and funds as well as some alternatives violated IIA assumption. 2-class Latent Class Model for respondents were used to explain the sources of the heterogeneity. Class 1 respondents who are located relatively close to Upo wetland had more experience and knowledge of Upo wetland and better understood the information suggested in the questionnaire than class 2 respondents in mostly metropolitan area of Seoul, Incheon.

최근 환경에 대한 관심이 증대하면서 생물다양성, 홍수조절, 온실가스 저감 등 다양한 기능을 수행하는 습지에 대한 보전 및 복원을 위한 많은 노력들이 진행되고 있다. 습지 보전 및 복원을 위한 다양한 방안 중 하나가 댐 및 주변지역을 습지로 조성하여 활용하는 방안이라고 할 수 있으며, 이를 위해서는 댐 및 주변지역의 습지로서의 활용을 위한 특성 파악이 우선적으로 이루어져야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 댐 주변지역에 조성된 습지와 댐 저수지 자체를 모두 포함하여 댐습지라고 정의하고, 댐습지가 지니고 있는 습지의 기능 및 경제적 가치를 추정하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 대상지역은 기준습지와 대상습지로 구분되며, 기준습지는 우포늪과 보령댐, 대상습지는 용담댐이다. 댐습지의 기능평가는 수문지형학적 특성을 고려하는 HGM(Hydrogeomorphic Method)을 이용하였으며, 가치평가는 조건부가치측정법(CVM)을 이용하였다. 기능평가 결과는 우포늪과 보령댐을 각각 기준지역으로 선정하였을 경우로 구분하여 나타낼 수 있다. 자연습지인 우포늪을 기준지역으로 선정하였을 경우에는 댐의 주목적과 관련이 있는 수문학적 기능이 높게 평가되었으나 습지 내에서 진행되는 생지화학적 기능과 다양한 식물 종에 대한 서식처로써의 기능은 다소 미흡한 것으로 평가되었다. 보령댐을 기준지역을 선정하였을 경우에는 일부 기능을 제외하고 대부분의 기능이 유사한 것으로 평가되었다. 조건부가치측정법을 이용한 용담댐의 경제적 가치평가는 댐습지 생태공원조성에 따른 훼손된 습지의 보호, 희귀생물종의 보호, 휴양 및 여가기능 제공을 주요인으로 설정하고 설문조사를 수행하여 가치를 추정하였다. 그 결과 용담댐의 총 가치는 우포늪의 가치와 비교하였을 때 우포늪의 35~41%에 해당하는 것으로 추정되었다. 본 연구에서 수행된 댐습지의 기능 및 가치평가 결과는 댐이 단순히 이 치수 측면으로만 이용되는 것이 아니라 생태학적으로도 활용성이 있다는 사실을 나타내고 있다. 이를 통해서 향후 댐의 친환경적 활용 방안 및 댐습지 관리 방안에 중요한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 댐에 대한 긍정적인 인식 증진에도 많은 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

The flora of the vascular hydrophytes and hygrophytes and the change of flora according to the fluctuation of the water level before and after flooding were investigated from September 2002 to October 2003 in Woopo Wetland and Topyeong Stream, Changnyeong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, Korea. The flora of the Woopo, Mokpo, Sajipo, Jokjibyeol, Topyeongcheon Upstream, and Topyeongcheon Downstream were composed of 256, 242, 265, 177, 201, and 180 taxa, respectively. The flora of total study area was 86 families, 232 genera, 302 species, 42 varieties, 6 form, or total 350 taxa. Among them, hydrophytes, hygrophytes, and others were 36, 96, and 218 taxa, respectively. The life form of the vascular hydrophytes was classified as 19 taxa of emergent plants, 6 taxa of floating-leaved plants, 4 taxa of free-floating plants, and 7 taxa of submersed plants. The specified wild plants designated by the Korean Association for Conservation of Nature, Ministry of Forest, and Ministry of Environment were Euryale ferox, Hydrocharis dubia, Persicaria amphibia, Acorus calamus var. angustatus. And Aristolochia contorta was distributed in the study area. The floras of the naturalized plants of the Woopo, Mokpo, Sajipo, Jokjibyeol, Topyeongcheon Upstream, and Topyeongcheon Downstream were composed of 27, 25, 35, 21, 26 and 24 taxa, respectively. The flora of the naturalized plants of total study area was 43 taxa, this equalled 12.3% of total vascular plants in the study area. And 165~244 taxa were surveyed in the each study area before flooding, total 299 taxa, and 86~212 taxa after flooding, total 299 taxa. Among them, hydrophytes, hygrophytes, and others were 33 and 29, 93 and 83, 183 and 187 taxa before and after flooding, respectively. Before and after flooding, the species number of emergent plants, floating-leaved plants, free-floating plants, and submersed plants was nearly the same. It was guessed that vascular hydrophytes and hygrophytes adapted to fluctuation of the water level in the study area.

The seasonal changes in phytoplankton standing crops, species composition, dominant species, species diversity and physico-chemical characteristics in Woopo and Mokpo swamps were studied from January to December, 1998. Phytoplankton of a total 353 taxa were identified, the composition of phytoplankton community was characetrized by green algae and diatoms and quantity composition of standing crops was dominated by green alga Oscillatoria sp. was especially prominent. The standing crops varied from 108 cells/ml and 118 cells/ml to 19,178 cells and 38,393 cells/ml in Woopo and Mokpo swamps, respectively. The maximum algal density was observed in November, Micractinium pusillum and Oscillatoria sp. usually contributed 83.2% to total cell numbers in Woopo swamp. However, the maximum density occurred in May when Oscillatoria sp. formed bloom in Mokpo swamp. The low species diversity of the phytoplankton coincided with maximum standing crops of the filamentous blue-green alga Oscillatoria sp. and green alga Micractinium pusillum in May and November.

기후변화가 수자원에 미치는 영향을 평가하는데 있어서 주로 기후모형인 Global Climate Model (GCM)이 사용되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 기후모형의 공간적 해상도는 $3^{\circ}{\sim}4^{\circ}$ 정도로 한반도의 경우 바다로 묘사되기도 한다. 따라서 GCM을 이용해서 기후변화가 유역단위 수자원에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해서는 일반적으로 축소기법이 사용되고 있다. 현재까지 다양한 축소기법이 개발되었으며, 대표적인 모형으로는 SDSM(Statistical Down-Scaling Model)과 LARS-WG(The Long Ashton Research Station Weather Generator)이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 SDSM, LARS-WG와 함께 최근에 축소기법으로 사용되고 있는 인공신경망 기법을 이용해서 CCCMA(Canadian Centre for Climate Modeling and Analysis)에서 일 단위로 모의한 CGCM3 A2 시나리오를 기반으로 우포늪의 강우 및 온도시나리오를 구축하였다. 대상 지점인 우포늪은 경상남도 창녕군 우포늪(위도 $35^{\circ}$33', 경도 $128^{\circ}$25')에 위치하고 있으며, 모의 기간은 CASE1의 경우 현재, CASE2는 2050$^{\sim}$ 2080년, CASE3는 2080년$^{\sim}$2100년으로 각각 구분하여 축소기법을 적용하였다. 축소결과 축소기법에 따라 일정정도 차이를 보이기는 하였으나 강우와 온도 모두 증가하게 됨을 확인하였다.

This study is on the characteristics of habitat use of Pheasant-tailed Jacana Hydrophasianus chirurgus in Upo-wetland from June to August in 2013. The purpose is population management of Pheasant-tailed Jacana. Four nests were founded which are located in $56.2{\pm}16.37m$ from the waterside. Pheasant-tailed Jacana made their nests above Euryale ferox which consists with water plants such as Salvinia natans, Spirodela polyrhiza, Ceratophyllum demersum, Hydrocharis duvia and so on. Human beings seem to be the biggest obstacle of their breeding, according to this, Pheasant-tailed Jacana moved their eggs. Only two out of four nests, they moved their eggs and the distance was 1 to 2 meters from the nests. Since plant community of Euryale ferox is extensively distributed and water level also keep stable in Upo-wetland, the number of Pheasant-tailed Jacana coming to Upo-wetland is expected to increase every year. In the past, the number of Pheasant-tailed Jacana coming to Korea was too little to include management plan, but now, we need to manage them because of their population growth and the regular advent.
