The present study performed the impact of the change of low-flow channel on aquatic habitat in a reach of the Wonju-cheon Stream, Korea. The target species was Zacco platypus, a dominant species in the middle- and upper-stream of Wonju Cheon. The River2D model was used for the computation of the flow and the habitat suitability index model was used to estimate the quantity and quality of fish habitat using habitat suitability curves. First, for the restoration to low-flow channel, the restoration was conducted in a form close-to-nature flow channel, and the width of the low-flow channel was expanded and reduced. The results indicated that the Weighted Usable Area (WUA) of the target species improved by about 72% when the width of the low-flow channel was expanded, and that the fish habitat decreased by about 25% when the width of the low-flow channel was reduced.

In this study, the physical, mechanical, structural, and environmental performances based on field measured data were evaluated to check the suitability of concrete for ecological preservation and cultivation of a hydrophilic environment. More specifically, the study is focused on developing an environmentally friendly functional concrete with river ecology restoration and natural river early formation capabilities. The mechanical performance evaluation results showed that the increase in mix rate of the PVA (Poly Vinyl Alcohol) reinforcement fibers and silica fume caused an increase in the strength. The optimal mix rate was found to be 0.05 volume % PVA fiber and approximately 10% silica fume. The frost resistance evaluation showed that superior performance was gained when 0.05 volume % PVA fiber and 15% silica fume was mixed simultaneously. In the structural performance evaluation, the bending strength was improved by 47.7% compared to plain concrete when mixed with 0.05 volume % PVA fiber. The flexural toughness also saw significant improvement. The environmental monitoring of field performance showed that grasses germinated most rapidly, but the growth of red poppies, a plant that germinates in the spring, was most active with passing of time. Coverage measurements in all of the monitoring locations found favorable coverage of over 95% after 12 weeks. The study results showed that the environmentally friendly functional concrete had outstanding environmental performance.

This research focused on development and application feasibility for the coalesced continuous block system in river bank protection. Most of block systems in river bank are pre cast type and have some difficulties against high velocity flood condition or high pressure load, however, the continuous block system can be applied to flood damage recover as well as environmental vegetation block system in river bank. For the application review and analysis of hydraulic condition for this block system, hydraulic physical modeling was carried out. The physical model was built as a scale of 1:50 by Froude similitude measuring the water levels and the water velocities for vegetation application or not. In consequence, the water velocities were observed to decrease meanly 10.1%, and the water depths were to increase meanly 17.8% in case of the of design flood, $Q=200m^3/sec$. To verify the hydraulic physical modeling, the numerical modeling should be conducted for a close examination of vegetation application by one or two dimensional numerical analysis as a next study.

This study is based on the analysis of the characteristics of waterfront scenery. Recently, waterfront development has expanded residentially, commercially and into leisure space. In the development of the waterfront, it is necessary to apply designs suitable for urban and various other waterfront areas. In this study, the natural scenery of the waterfront was researched with respect to the Korean Jingyeong landscape paintings and the main elements of the scenery were analyzed. In this study, 105 painting of Korean Jingyeong landscapes paintings were selected for the analysis of the waterside scenery. The paintings of Jeong Seon were studied to categorize streams topographically into mountainous, upper, middle, lower, and ocean types. In addition, major micro-topography elements, which are 13 water image elements and 13 staffage elements were analyzed. The main waterfront landscape elements are divided into 13 types. The waterfalls were divided into long waterfalls, short waterfalls, cascading waterfalls, and other aspects considered were line stream, curve stream, multi-curve stream, pond, water surface, flow surface, wave surface, rock side, pile sandy side, sandy side. There are 13 kinds of staffage elements, include pine forest, pine trees, fir trees, bamboo trees, willow trees, broadleaf tree, villages, houses, gazebo, boat, bridges, and people. The waterfront landscape by a river area was explained according to each characteristic of the waterfront landscape and staffage, and their changes were analyzed in each area. The 105 paintings were divided into 35 pieces of mountainous streams, 9 upper streams, 5 middle streams, 35 lower streams, and 21 oceans, and the change of each waterfront landscape and staffage was analyzed. Based on the topographical analysis of the waterfront landscape and staffage, the results can be summarized into 5 types of the waterfront landscape. Based on the micro-topographical characteristics of the waterfront landscape styles are as follow. In the mountainous streams, long waterfall and deep forest type are apparent, which depicts deep mountain waterfall scenery, and a multi-stream forest is the scenery of a picnic in the mountains, which is a representative form of mountainous streams landscape. In the upper-middle stream, the water-surface and gazebo type is predominant. In the lower stream, the sandy-gazebo typ scenery is predominant and the sandy depiction is unique to lower stream landscape. Pile sandy-dock type is life scenes where human activity highlighted, is a representative form of the lower stream landscapes. The characteristic of the coastal landscape is the serpentine rock scenery on the beach and the wave-serpentine rock type that forms the main coastal landscape. The study aims to propose significant design elements for a natural waterfront landscape planning based on the analysis of landscape in the paintings of Jeong Seon.

In a natural river, cross sections of a channel vary according to inner or outer parts of meandering. Generally, depth of outer parts is deeper than that of inner parts. This kind of cross section change by meandering can be demonstrated by Beta distribution. The objects of this research is a 3D simulation of primary and secondary flow in the meandering natural channel. FLOW-3D program, a numerical model using CFD technique, and LES method was used for this research. 3D simulations were conducted in the channels having Beta distribution cross sections which have beds of mortar, gravel and vegetation. Two types of water stages and discharge were applied to each channel. In this research, primary flows are located in the outer parts of a top of bend and secondary flows rotate in the bottom on outer parts.

본 연구에서는 자연하상 복원을 위한 하상복원공법을 개발하여 시험구간에 적용하였다. 공법적용 대상 지역은 안양시역내의 안양천 일정구간으로 화창교로부터 상류방향으로 약 500m 거리에 웅덩이 수제공법이 적용되어 있으며, 그로부터 다시 상류방향으로 130m 떨어진 거리에 낮은 바닥막이 공법이 적용되어 있다. 낮은 바닥막이 공법의 경우 완만한 곡류사주의 직상류 부로서 강한 수류와 함께 빠른 유속이 형성될 경우 하상의 세굴이 예상되어 이를 방지하기 위해 저수로의 유하방향으로 완만한 호형으로 설치하였으며, 웅덩이형수제 공법은 완만한 곡류로 좌안 수충부가 형성되어 있어 물의 흐름방향과 유속을 제어하여 흐름에 의한 호안침식을 방지하기 위해 현 위치를 선정 및 적용하였다. 첫 번째, 경관모니터링 결과 낮은 바닥막이 공법과 웅덩이 수제 공법을 적용한 구간에서 대규모 홍수 이후에도 저수로 호안과 하상의 안정성이 유지되었으며, 이는 공법 설치 전 후 하상 경관의 변화가 거의 없어 수리적 안정성 유지를 하고 있다고 볼 수 있다. 또한 웅덩이 수제 공법 설치 후, 미소서식처가 형성되면서 포식자인 왜가리, 백로류를 지속적으로 관찰할 수 있어 어류서식처로서의 기능이 강화되었음을 간접적으로 확인하였다. 두 번째, 생태계 모니터링 결과 저서성 무척추동물의 경우 한국오수생물지수(KSI)는 낮은 바닥막이 공법을 적용하여 하상구조가 변화된 조사 지점 st.1의 환경상태가 "양호"에서 "최적"으로 변화하였기 때문에 공법 적용이 서식처 건강성 증진에 도움을 준 것으로 판단된다. 세 번째, 수질 모니터링 결과 용존산소의 경우 상부지점보다 하부지점이 낮게 나타나는 결과를 보여주었다. 낮은 바닥막이 공법에 의한 용존산소 상승효과보다는 다양한 서식처의 제공이라는 측면이 보다 중요한 효과를 나타낸다. 결과적으로, 공법의 실용화를 위한 적용 공법에 대한 생태계 모니터링 및 평가를 통하여 하천에서의 다양한 서식처(Habitat) 창출을 통해 수생 생물의 다양성을 증진시키고, 하천 하상공법에 대한 생태계의 조사 및 평가기법을 확보하여 연구성과를 다른 하천으로의 확대 적용 할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

This study aims to analyze the change in vegetation for 10 years after the construction, targeting Suwoncheon, the first domestic ecological stream construction project. As for the section for the study, the section from Gyeonggi bridge to Youngyeon bridge, the first restoration project section, was targeted. The research districts consisted of 3 districts depending on topographical structure. Investigation check cosisted of cross-sectional topographical structure, vegetation status and the structure of herbaceous plant community. As for the cross-sectional topographical structure of the stream, the width of entire stream was 26.5~28.0m and water channel is 10~20m. The area for hydrophilic space was securing spacious riverside. Upper stream of reservoir beam was shallow and slow in reservoir area above weir. Lower stream of reservoir beam, the width of water channel was narrow and ripples were formed. Among species, 9 plants were planted and 6 species plants including Salix gracilistyla, Phragmites communis and Zoysia japonica were planted at the time of construction. In the water side, there were 2 species, such as Zoysia japonica and Trifolium repens, etc, still remained after seeding at the time of constrcution. The planted plants which were observed through this investigation, were 2 species such as Festuca arundinacea and Dactylis glomerata. Apart from the planted plants, arid climate herbaceous plant such as Setaria viridis and Artemisia princeps var. orientalis formed power and the naturalized species variously emerged in 15 species. For revetment, natural stone stacking method was condicted and Salix gracilistyla, Aceriphyllum rossii, etc were planted. But all the planted plants disappeared and now it was covered with Equisetum arvense and Humulus japonicus. It was because that the base for growth and development of the plants was not constructed at the time of restoration in a way of attaching natural stones onto the concrete base. In the water channel, various wetland species including Typha orientalis, Acorus calamus var. angustatus and Phragmites communis, etc, were planted but only Salix gracilistyla, Phragmites communis and Zizania latifolia remained. As for species of the autochthons, Persicaria thunbergii was dominant. In the lower stream of reservoir beam, Humulus japonicus formed forces. In the hydrophilic space, it was necessary to direct the landscape of in-stream vegetation in cosideration of users. For this, planting Miscanthus sacchariflorus in a community was proposed. In the upper stream of reservoir beam, suplementary screen seeding was necessary so that Zizania latifolia, Typha orientalis and Phragmites communis can fit the depth of water. In the Lower stream of reservoir beam, it was necessary to constantly manage Humulus japonicus so that the wetland autochthons species, such as Phragmites communis and Persicaria thunbergii can establish power more stably.

지구온난화에 따른 전 세계적 급격한 기후변화로 인하여 자연재해가 발생하고 있으며, 우리나라에서도 매년 태풍을 동반한 집중호우로 지역별 피해가 속출하는 등 자연재해로 인한 많은 인명피해와 경제적 비용의 부담률이 증가하고 있다. 국민안전처에서 발간한 재해연보에 의하면 10년간 전체 종목 중 공공시설물들의 피해액이 매년 비교적 가장 높은 비율을 보이고 있으며, 공공시설물중에서도 하천과 소하천의 피해가 최근 5년(2010~2014년)간 평균 32.91%로 피해율이 가장 높았다. 국외에서는 미국(HAZUS-MH), 일본(피해경제조사메뉴얼), 영국(MCM) 등 공공자산의 홍수피해 예측방법을 개발하여 각 국가의 특성에 맞는 재난손실에 대한 추정을 실시하고 있지만, 우리나라에서는 이러한 방법론적 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라의 자연재해로 발생한 피해의 규모와 이에 따른 경제적 피해를 예측하기 위해 피해율과 피해액 추정 기술을 개발하였다. 미국의 HAZUS-MH와 피해복구지침, 새주소 시스템 DB, 건축법 내 용도별 건축물 종류 등을 활용하여 국내 공공자산 인벤토리(안)을 제시하고 이 중 소하천에 대한 2010~2014년 5개년의 국가재난관리시스템(NDMS) 재해 자료를 기반으로 지역적 특성을 고려한 손상함수를 개발하였다. 함수개발은 강원도 일부 시군에 대해 실시하였으며, 과거 피해자료를 대상으로 검증하였다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 시군단위의 재해로 인한 소하천 피해 정도를 산정하고 한국형 피해예측시스템 개발에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
