The purpose of this study was to collect the basic data on establishing the conservation plan for the domestic wetland through flora and life form analysis at Junam wetland. The vascular plants were recorded as 222 taxa; 58 families, 167 genera, 200 species, 3 subspecies, 1 forma and 18 varieties. Among 8 life forms, Therophytes (Th), Hemicryptophytes (H) and Hydrophytes (HH) showed high percentage, and these species comprised 71.1% of the whole flora at Junam wetland. One taxa (Euryale ferox) rare plants designated by Korea Forest Service were observed. The naturalized plants were 38 taxa including Fallopia dumetora, Oenothera odorata, Ambrosia artemisiifolia var. elatior and so forth, and naturalized ratio was 17.1%. The naturalized made up about 45 percent of the species composition. The specific plants by floristic region were 13 taxa including Euryale ferox., Hydrocharis dubia, Prunus davidiana and so forth.

Terrestrial insect fauna was surveyed in the Junam wetland area, which consists of the Junam, Dongpan, and Sannam wetlands, by visual counting and pictures. A sweep net collection was conducted from May to October 2010. A neighburing artificial lotus wetland was also surveyed for comparison. A total of 5,730 insects were surveyed, representing 268 species in 85 families and 12 orders. Sixty-three species of coleopterans were surveyed, followed by 60 species of Lepidoptera, and 37 species of Hemiptera. Coleopteran individuals were 25.9% of the total insect numbers surveyed, comprising most abundant group. This was followed by Odonata, Lepidoptera, and Orthoptera at 22.3%, 15.4%, and 12.7%, respectively. In total, 197 species were surveyed in the Dongpan wetland, 175 in the Junam wetland, and 154 species in the Sannam wetlands. However, only 86 species were surveyed in the artificial lotus wetland. Galerucella nipponensis in Coleoptera, Crocothemis servilia mariannae in Odonata, and Polygonia c-aureum in Lepidoptera were the most abundant in all four wetlands. Community analyses showed that the dominance index was highest in the artificial lotus wetland at 0.25 and lowest in Junam wetland at 0.08. Diversity indices were relatively high in all wetlands at 4.48, 4.44, 4.28, and 3.87 in Junam, Dongpan, Sannam, and the artificial lotus wetland, respectively. The insect fauna similarity index was highest in the Junam and Dongpan wetlands at 0.96. The lotus wetland showed the lowest similarity of the three wetlands with values of 0.45-0.53.

This study surveyed the species and population of dragonflies in 20 study sites in the Junam wetland in May and July 2015 to investigate the relationship between the dragonflies and the inhabited environment. We measured the environmental factors such as the area of emergent plants, the area of floating and floating-leaved plants, the area of water surface, the area of water plants, and the nearby land-use type and analyzed the relationship to the dragonfly species, population, and diversity index. We found 757 dragonflies belonging to 21 species of 6 families. The area of floating and floating-leaved plants and the area of water surface affected the species diversity. The area of floating and floating-leaved plants and the area of surface water, in particular, showed the positive correlation with the species richness and the dominance value, respectively. The area of water surface showed the negative correlations with Shannon's diversity index and evenness. Among the type of surrounding land-uses, the dry fields and orchards showed significantly lower average species richness than wetlands. Among the species, Cercion calamorum and Crocothemis servilia were positively correlated with floating and floating-leaved plants. Cercion v-nigrum and Epophthalmia elegans were positively correlated with the area of water surface, and Ischnura asiatica and Ceriagrion nipponicum were negatively correlated. The recent uncontrolled proliferation of lotus colony in the Junam wetland is likely to affect greatly the species composition of dragonflies which have a close relationship with plant species.

창원시 주남저수지 일대는 세계적인 철새도래지로 주목받고 있으나, 철새로 인한 경제적 피해로 지역민과 환경보전론자 간의 갈등이 심화되고 있다. 따라서 지역민의 이익을 보호하면서도 환경을 보전할 수 있는 대안이 필요하게 되었다. 지역민의 여론을 조사한 결과 지역민들은 철새 피해를 인정하면서도, 철새를 보호해야 한다고 생각하고 있었으며, 환경을 보전하는 관광 개발의 필요성을 제기하였다. 이러한 주민 의견을 반영하여 본 연구에서는 이 지역의 생태관광개발 정책을 수립하였다.

Hydrocharis dubia Backer and Salvinia natans All. were sampled from the Junam and Dongpan reservoirs, representative freshwater wetlands of Korea. A total of 19 endophytic fungal strains were isolated from hydrophytes native to the Junam wetlands and 5 strains were isolated from the Dongpan wetlands. Depending on phylogenetic analysis based on internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, strains from Junam belonged to 11 genera and from Dongpan belonged to 5 genera. Fusarium, Phoma and Talaromyces were commonly distributed genera from two wetlands. The fungal diversity index showed clear differences between each wetlands or each host hydrophyte. Above all, the highest diversity value was observed from Salvinia natans All., which have been reported as promising biological resources as eutrophication controller in environmental ecology.

A sampling survey was conducted at three reservoirs of Junam wetland ($6.02km^2$) in Korea to identify the wetland insect fauna along with their dominance, diversity, richness and evenness. Methods of monitoring were visual inspection and sweeping in 2010, Malaise trapping in 2011, light trapping and pitfall trapping in 2012. In total, 9,269 individuals (36.3% coleopterans, 21.3% lepidopterans and 13.9% odonates) were collected, belonging to 574 species, 141 families and 14 orders. For the number of species, lepidopterans shared the highest (31.2%), followed by coleopterans (28.0%) and hemipterans (12.9%). Dominant species were Enochrus simulans (Coleoptera) (7.9% of total individuals) followed by Hydaticus grammicus (Coleoptera) (4.3%), Galerucella nipponensis (Coleoptera) (4.1%), Elophila interruptalis (Lepidoptera) (3.1%) and Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera) (2.2%). Total counts of coleopterans, lepidopterans and odonates in the three reservoirs were quite high, but the counts were not significantly different among the reservoirs. Insect diversity index (H') and richness index (RI) of the Junam wetland were 5.04 and 59.10, respectively.

Junam reservoir is 1,800,000 pyung of marsh waters. Various migration birds choose to spend their winters at Junam because of its mild climate. Since many rare bird species coexist around this reservoir, which is increased in concern. At the side of residents of Junam reservoir, development opinion is park, This area must be sustainable development so that original function of reservoir may maintain The development direction hope that Junam reservoir's residents increase of the life style and of the income.

In Korea, wetland policies are currently being pursued through long-term plans such as nationwide wetland surveys and wetland conservation basic plans. However, most policies focus on understanding the status of wetlands, such as their area, distribution, and biodiversity, and there is a lack of awareness regarding the need to conserve and manage wetland ecosystems as a single organism. Therefore, this study aims to identify potential riverine wetland sites that can be ecologically connected by considering functional aspects such as floodplain, biodiversity, habitat provision, and tourism resources. This study attempted to select a candidate site that could potentially provide ecological connectivity with three wetlands in the Nakdonggang River water system : Upo Wetland, Hwapocheon Wetland, and Junam Reservoir. 63 wetlands and 7 candidate sites located in 15 subwatersheds of the Nakdonggang River were analyzed, and the most suitable candidate site for ecological connectivity was selected based on the calculated scores. A suitability analysis was conducted using 9 evaluation factors to evaluate candidate sites, and the scoring method, using quantile, was applied to these factors. As a result, Upo2(Hopo) was selected as the most suitable site for ecological connectivity, receiving the highest score 36. Therefore, it is believed that Upo2(Hopo) can serve as a floodplain, habitat, biodiversity enhancer, and tourism resource while being the most suitable for ecological connectivity.
