Scarcity of water worldwide, increasing greenhouse gas emissions, increased energy consumption due to the Earth is threatened. Existing in the process of urban planning and development of forests, rivers and other natural ecosystems have been destroyed and that there was increased impervious pavement. Impervious pavement increase water circulation system to destroy the natural and urban water retention, infiltration and decreased evaporation. Nonpoint source pollution(NPS) occurs when rainfall impervious pavement and appeal directly to the river water inflow is adversely impacts of the situation. In this study, rainfall occurs impervious pavement NPS pollution reduction and temperature increase due to the increase in urban areas, and to solve heat island phenomenon is to develop small HSSF constructed wetland technology. The small HSSF constructed wetland sedimentation, filtration, adsorption, absorption by vegetation, including such mechanisms. Techniques for verification of the pilot-scale test was conducted. In the future domestic urban heat island phenomenon and restore the natural water cycle for the facilities will be used as a basis to develop.

For analyzing function of a microbial ecosystem which was created under the artificial vegetation island (AVI) installed at Lake Paldang, zooplankton and bacterial numbers and exoenzyme activities (${\beta}$-glucosidase and phosphatase) were measured biweekly from 3 November 2()()1 to 20 April 2002 at AVI site and control site. Under the AVI, the water quality was worse than control site in term of comparing the environmental parameters. But, zooplankton number of AVI site was 25 times higher than that of control site. Respiratory active bacterial numbers were 3-8 times higher at AVI site. In addition, enzymatic activities were higher at AVI site than those of control site. These results suggest that the zooplankton-phytoplankton-bacteria relationships are closely coupled with each other and organic materials are eliminated by respiration of zooplankton and bacterial activities.

최근 농업용수의 수질개선을 위한 사업으로 수질개선시설들이 조성되었으나 유지관리의 측면에서 정화효과 검토와 시설물 운영에 대한 관리만 집중적으로 진행되고 있다. 특히 농업용수 수질개선사업은 자연친화적 공법인 인공습지가 주로 활용되고 있음에도 불구하고 식생 및 정화식물에 대한 조사 및 영향분석에 대한 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 또한 인공습지 내 정화식물 이외의 우점 식물종(침입 식물종)에 대한 현황 및 관리방안 검토도 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 총 6개 저수지의 인공습지를 대상으로 식물상 및 군락특성을 조사하여 인공습지 식생도를 작성하였다. 인공습지 내 수질 정화식물 현황 분석 결과는 조사의 여건 및 시기 등을 고려하여 3단계를 나누어 관리지역을 파악할 수 있도록 식생도에 반영하였다. 또한 인공습지 내 정화식물(갈대, 부들, 꽃창포 등) 이외의 우점 식물종(침입 식물종)을 분석하고 침입 식물종 특성 및 관리 방안을 분석하였다. 인공습지에 대한 관속식물상을 조사한 결과, 총 27과 59속 63종 7변종 1아종으로 총 71류군이 조사되었다. 대부분의 습지에서 우점종으로 갈대, 부들이 확인되었으며, 일부 습지의 경우 줄, 큰고랭이, 마름 등이 조사되었다. 귀화식물은 7과 23종으로 조사되었으며, 인공습지 내부보다는 주변의 나대지, 제방사면에 주로 분포하고 있다. 귀화식물 중 환경부에서 지정한 생태계교란식물은 양미역취, 단풍잎돼지풀, 미국쑥부쟁이, 돼지풀, 물참새피, 가시상추가 조사되었다. 귀화식물 종수가 10~12종으로 나타났으며, 도시화지수는 3.1~3.7%로 나타났으나 출현 종수가 적어 귀화율은 29.4~44.0%로 높게 나타났다. 식물의 경우 동물과 달리 계절에 따라 출현하는 종의 차이가 더욱 크기 때문에 정확한 분석을 위해서는 계절에 따른 지속적인 조사가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

We reviewed foreign evaluation systems based on the macrobenthic and macroalgal communities and developed a system, composed of a set of ecological indices able to evaluate the functionality (FI, Functional Index; estimation of stability and productivity) and maturity (MI, Maturity Index; comparisons with biological parameters of natural reefs) of artificial reefs by comparing the status in the adjacent natural reefs in Korean coastal waters. The evaluation system was applied to natural and artificial reefs/reef-planned areas (natural reefs), established in the 5 marine ranching areas (Bangnyeong-Daechung, Yeonpyung, Taean, Seocheon and Buan) in the west coast of Korea. The FI ranged between 31.6 (Bangnyeong-Daechung) and 72.5% (Buan) and MI did between 53.1 (Seocheon) and 76.9% (Taean) in average. The evaluation of artificial reefs by the two indices, showed the most appropriate status in Taean. The FI between the adjacent artificial and natural reefs were in significant linear relationship ($r^2=0.83$, p=0.01). This indicated the local status of biological community may be critical in determining the functionality of the artificial reefs. We have suggested an integrative but preliminary evaluation system of artificial reefs in this study. The output from the evaluation system may be utilized as a tool for environment/resource managers or policy makers, responsible for effective use of funds and decision making. Given the importance, we need to use the options to enhance and improve the accuracy as follows: (1) continuous validation of the evaluation system and rescaling the criteria of indicators, (2) vigorous utilization of observation and experience through the application and data accumulation and (3) development and testing of brand-new indicators.

Vegetation processes have a significant impact on rainfall runoff processes through evapotranspiration control, but are rarely considered in the conceptual lumped hydrological model. This study evaluated the model performance of the Hapcheon Dam watershed by integrating the ecological module expressing the leaf area index data sensed remotely from the satellite into the hydrological partition module. The proposed eco-hydrological model has three main features to better represent the eco-hydrological process in humid regions. 1) The growth rate of vegetation is constrained by water shortage stress in the watershed. 2) The maximum growth of vegetation is limited by the energy of the watershed climate. 3) The interaction of vegetation and aquifers is reflected. The proposed model simultaneously simulates hydrologic components and vegetation dynamics of watershed scale. The following findings were found from the validation results using the model parameters estimated by the SCEM algorithm. 1) Estimating the parameters of the eco-hydrological model using the leaf area index and streamflow data can predict the streamflow with similar accuracy and robustness to the hydrological model without the ecological module. 2) Using the remotely sensed leaf area index without filtering as input data is not helpful in estimating streamflow. 3) The integrated eco-hydrological model can provide an excellent estimate of the seasonal variability of the leaf area index.

This study aims to suggest ways to improve sustainability on housing complexes. This study sampled eight housing projects in Seoul and GyeongGi-Do in Korea, which were completed in June 2007 and June 2008. Then, are retention and maintenance on "constructed greens for ecological environment" including "green structures substitutes retaining walls", "green roofs", and "green walls." Study methods are field investigations of the sampled sites, and Post Occupancy Analysis. Major findings were; 1) "constructed greens" are not well retained in more sites and and this implies the GBCS(Green Building Certification System) does not meet its objectives well, 2) User showed lower user satisfaction to "constructed greens". User satisfaction concerning "green structures substitute retaining walls" was higher than the satisfaction on the other constructed green type. Satisfaction Assessment Criteria lower 1han average were "level of quality", "meet the design objectives", "vegetation management status", "vegetation maintenance". 3) User satisfaction was strongly correlated on the level of quality factor of "constructed green". In addition, tue other factors are the significant correlations between the satisfactions. The present GBCS has inadequate assessment standards for maintenance, which lead to lower the entire satisfaction. Therefore, periodic recertification system, education and information providing for the managing personals, and incentives for good maintenance or disincentive for poor maintenance of the "constructed greens" are suggested to improve the GBCS.

The restoration effects in two sorts of forests created and managed on the bases of ecological principles in Sihwa industrial complex and Mt. Surak respectively were evaluated in both viewpoints of species composition and diversity. Species composition of the forests created based on the ecological design was move similar to that of the natural forests compared wit h the forests constructed by applying the landscape architectural method. The increased species diversity in the ecologically created forest reflected the effect as well. Black locust plantation managed by applying the ecological principle showed move similar species composition to the surrounding natural forest than the forest left without any management. Furthermore, the former forest showed higher species diversity than the latter one. The methods, which create and manage a forest based on ecological principles, revealed several problems, such as lack of specialty of project operators and inspecting officers, construction regulations without the ecological background, absence of the endemic young trees to be introduced in diverse natural environment, etc. Preparation of guidance for ecological planting and systematic environmental education including revision of construction regulation were recommended as the measures to solve such problems.

The golden apple snail-Pomacea canaliculata was an alien species and introduced into Korea as table use in 1983. This species is possible pest in direct seeded rice paddy in Korea. We investigated the effects of this exotic snail on the macrophytes and the water quality in water canal. Also, the basic life cycle of this species and the overwintering ecology in Chungnam and Jeonbuk province were elucidated. A survey of natural water canal in Korea showed that high densities of the snail were associated with absences of macrophytes-Hydrilla verticillata, Ceratophyllum demersum, Spirodela polyrhiza and Lemna perpusilla. Experiments in water tank also demonstrated that the golden apple snail can cause the loss of macrophytes, and increase the EC(Electric conductivity), COD(Chemical oxygen demand), T-N(Total nitrogen) and T-P(Total phosphorus) in water.
