The Seoul's 2030 Youth-Housing is a policy to promote the development of private sector-built rental housing in a Station Influence Area (SIA). It is a representative policy to resolve a housing problem for the youth in Seoul. The Seoul Metropolitan Government has made continuous policy improvements to respond to earlier criticisms on the policy. In December 2018, the Seoul Metropolitan Government enlarged the possible spatial boundaries of the SIA that the private sector developer can carry out the housing development projects. This study attempts to assess the potential sites available in Seoul by considering the youth's demand. This study used the suitability modelling technique to evaluate the potential sites. In detail, we established three sub-models by reflecting rent, accessibility to living areas of the youth, and accessibility to living SOC for the youth's demand. According to the results, the Hanyang City Wall area, which was newly included by the recent policy revision, showed moderate scores to fit the housing projects, while some Gangbuk areas, which have high accessibility and relatively lower rents, showed the best scores appropriate for the projects. The age group of 20s preferred university districts, while the age group of 30s preferred to locate near Seoul's main office areas. We suggest that the Seoul metropolitan government develops better ways to guage and reflect the demand for differing youth groups and the demand by age groups.

Expansion of potato production areas can improve the food security in North Korea because the given crop has less requirements for agricultural materials and facilities. The Global Agro-Ecological Zones (GAEZ) model, which was developed to evaluate climate suitability under different cultivation conditions, was used to identify potential areas for the potato production. The spatial estimates of crop suitability under low and high input management conditions were downloaded from the GAEZ data portal. The values of suitability were obtained at the potato occurrence sites retrieved from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) database. The suitable areas for the potato production were identified using a threshold value derived from the suitability estimates at the occurrence sites. It was found that 90% of the occurrence sites had the suitability index value >3,333, which was set to be the threshold value. The suitable areas in North Korea were summarized by province and county. Rice cultivation areas were excluded from the analysis. The reported relative acreage of potato production was better represented by the suitable areas under the low input management options than the high input conditions. The suitable areas also had a similar distribution to the reported acreage of potato production by county. These results indicated that the GAEZ model would be useful to identify the candidate production areas, which would facilitate the increases in potato production especially under future climate conditions. Furthermore, monthly maps of crop suitability can be used to design cropping systems that would improve crop production under the limited use of agricultural materials and facilities.

This study was conducted to prioritize land purchase in Hwapocheon wetland protection area by reflecting the conservation value of wetlands considering HSI(Habitat Suitability Index) for flagship species. As a result of this study, the flagship species, Oriental White Stork and Been Goose, which can represent the Hwapocheon wetland protection area, were selected through selection criteria and expert feedback. Based on the habitat requirements of the selected flagship species, SI(Suitability Index) for the flagship species was reviewed and the conservation value of wetlands was assessed. The conservation value of the wetlands was divided into five grades from very high to very low. The areas with high conservation value were mainly distributed around wetlands and waters in upstream and downstream of Hwapocheon wetland protection area. The land purchase priorities were divided into five grades by overlapping the thematic maps of the conservation value of wetlands, the economics, and the urgency of restoration. The arable lands which can disrupt wetland ecosystems are analyzed as priority areas where priority purchasing is required. Relatively well-preserved wetlands and areas have low land purchase priorities. This study is meaningful in that biodiversity is considered in land purchase priorities.

Narrow-mouth frog (Kaloula borealis) is the only amphibian species of genus Kaloula living in South Korea. They are designated and managed as endangered class II wildlife by the Ministry of Environment, Korea. Therefore, there is a desperate need of a habitat restoration study to prevent the extinction of narrow-mouth frog. This study is primarily for the purpose of presenting the direction and practical applications to restore damaged narrow-mouth frog habitats or to suggest alternative habitat options. The habitat suitability index (HSI) of narrow-mouth frog was applied to the research area in Mokpo City of Jeollanam-do Province, in order to present a new narrow-mouth frog habitat. We analyzed the research area based on historical contexts, ecological environment, ecology, and habitat requirements. The research area was divided into the core, buffer, and transition zones according to UNESCO MAB (Man and Biosphere) to establish local land-use plans. As for the foundation of the plan, we divided the habitat composition of the core, where narrow-mouth frog live in, into wetland (spawning area), grassland (shelter and feeding grounds), and forestland (feeding ground). We had a comparative analysis of habitat suitability in pre and post planning of narrow-mouth frog habitat restoration. For the validation study of habitat restoration plans, the future research should be on the composition of test-bed, continuous monitoring, and scientific habitat maintenance.

우리나라의 하천 및 호소에 유입되는 오염물질 중 약 30% 이상이 농업(경종 축산)활동 등에 의한 비점오염원이며 특히, 축산비점오염원에 대한 관리는 관련 분야의 특징에 대한 정확한 이해를 바탕으로 국내 실정에 적합하고 현실적인 정책과 제도를 개발하여 적용하는 것이 필요하다. 실질적인 정책과 제도의 개선안 수립 적용을 위해서는 축산비점오염물질 배출에 대한 신뢰성 있는 정량화가 선행되어야 하나, 모니터링 자료가 충분하지 못하여 실측자료에 근거한 부하량 평가가 어렵고, 토지이용, 강우강도, 경사도 등에 따른 비점오염물질과 수계 유입되는 유달부하량 정량화에 대한 연구사례는 적은편이다. 따라서 국내 실정에 적합하고, 현실적으로 적용 가능한 정책 및 제도 개선안 마련을 위해서는 합리적인 오염 배출량 자료와 저감방법에 근거하여 현실적인 대안을 도출하는 연구가 필요하다. 또한 이러한 실정을 파악하기 위해서는 국내 축산 밀집지역을 대상으로 하여 강우시와 비강우시 오염물질들의 유출 특성 및 배출농도에 대한 기초자료가 필요하며 이를 토대로한 특성파악이 가장 우선시 되어야 할 것이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 축산밀집지역인 정읍시 덕천면의 덕천천 유역일대를 대상으로 하여 강우시는 년 5회 비강우시는 년10회 모니터링을 통해 기초데이터를 구축하였으며 유역특성을 고려하여 총 8개 지점을 선정하여 조사하였다. 모니터링 결과 비강우시의 수질농도 평균값을 살펴보면, BOD, T-N, T-P 의 경우 모두 상류지점에서 하류로 가면서 점점 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 특히 축사 밀집지역인 상류지역서 가장 높은 농도를 나타냈다. 강우시의 경우 하류부분에서 가장 높은 값을 보였으며 가축자원화시설이 위치한 지점부터 높아진 후 하류로 갈수록 점점 농도가 증가된다. T-N의 경우 축사와 농경지가 밀집되어 있는 포함하는 지점에서 높은 값을 기록하였으며, 유량이 많아지는 하류지점에서 가장 낮은 값을 나타내었다. T-P의 경우도 BOD와 마찬가지로 하류지점에서 가장 높은 값을 나타냈다.

River corridors facilitate dispersal and movement and prevent local extinction of species. As a result of stream restoration projects, which include installation of waterfront and flood control structures, the number of animals, which rely on river corridor, is decreasing. For the study, factors affecting fish assembly were extracted by a species distribution model with the fish data collected from the Seom River in Hoengseong County and City of Wonju, Ganwon Province, Korea between March to October 2013. The riparian connectivity was assessed using species richness and rarity. According to result of the field survey, there were 38 species and 7,061 individuals for fish. The analysis suggests the following. Firstly, factors affecting fish richness in species distribution model results are shown to be velocity, riffle, riparian width, and water width. The accuracy of the model proves to be suitable with the correlation coefficient of 0.83 and MAPE of 19.2%. Secondly, the low rarity area is shown to be straight streams in Jeon river near to Hongseong County and the high rarity area to be streams with large width, existing alluvial area at channel junction between Jeon river and Seom river. Thirdly, according to connectivity results, areas where weirs are installed or riparian buffer area is removed showed low connectivity. The areas where farmland near riparian and forest areas showed high connectivity. The results of this study can be utilized to improve current facilities and enhance connectivity as a restoration guide.

This study introduces a new type of a modal split model that use zonal data instead of cost data as independent variables. It has been indicated that the ones using cost data have deficiencies in the multicollinearity of travel time and cost variables and unpredictability of independent variables. The zonal data employed in this study include (1) socioeconomic data, (2) land use data and (3) transportation system data. The test results showed that the proposed modal split model using zonal data performs better than the other does.

One of most laborious work in rice farming is transplanting of rice seedling which has been required preparation of nursury bed and care of seedling during one month period. In this research, direct seeding in dry paddy(DS) was practiced to compare with traditional tansplanting(TP) in Suwon and Milyang. Growth stages in DS were delayed as its planting time was about 36 days later than TP. Heading stage of DS at Suwon was delayed about 15 days as compared to transplanting culture. Rice yield in DS was decreased 8.2%(Suwon) and 0.11%(Milyang), repectively. Working-hour saving in DS was about 34.0%(Suwon) and 54.0%(Milyang). Production cost of DS was decreased 19%(Suwon) and 29% (Milyang), repectively. Amount of rice production per a unit working-hour in DS could incresed 37%(Suwon) and 113%(Milyang) compared to that of TP, respectively. Therefore, DS was decreased little in rice yield, but it could save working hour and production cost, significantly. Warm region like Milyang had more advantage in DS than Suwon. But, DS needs varietal selection for better emergence in low temperature, and more research in weed control and water management.

Increasing concern about biodiversity has lead to a rise in demand on the spatial assessment of biological resources such as biodiversity assessment, protected area selection, habitat management and restoration in Korea. The purpose of this study is to create species richness map through data collection and modeling techniques for wildlife habitat assessment. The GAM (Generalized Additive Model) is easy to interpret and shows better relationship between environmental variables and a response variable than an existing overlap analysis and GLM (Generalized Linear Model). The study area delineated by a large watershed contains Jirisan national park, Mt. Baekun and Sumjin river with three kinds of protected areas (a national park, a landscape ecology protected area and an otter protected area). We collected the presence-absence data for wildlife (mammals and birds) using a stratified random sampling based on a land cover in the study area and implemented natural and socio-environmental data affecting wildlife habitats. After doing a habitat use analysis and specifying significant factors for each species, we built habitat suitability models using a presence-absence model and created habitat suitability maps for each species. Biodiversity maps were generated by taxa and all species using habitat suitability maps. Significant factors affecting each species habitat were different according to their habitat selection. Although some species like a water deer or a great tit were distributed at the low elevation, most potential habitats for mammals and birds were found at the edge of a national park boundary or near a forest around the medium elevation of a mountain range. This study will be used for a basis on biodiversity assessment and proected area selection carried out by Ministry of Environment.

우리나라는 연중 강우량의 계절적 편중이 심하여 약 2/3이 6월-9월에 집중하는 기상학적 요인과, 국토의 약 70%가 산악지역으로 되어있는 지형학적 요인 등 홍수에 취약한 자연특성을 갖고 있으며, 특히 하천, 도시 저지대, 해안 및 산지에서는 홍수범람, 내부배제 불량, 해일, 산사태 등으로 매년 많은 인명피해와 재산상의 손실이 크게 발생하고 있다. 또한 최근 발생하고 있는 이상기후 현상과 각종 개발사업으로 인한 불투수면적의 증가 등으로 인해서 극한 홍수의 발생빈도가 높아가고 있으나, 기존 수방시설물의 홍수배제능력 부족 등으로 매년 많은 피해를 입고 있는 실정으로, 구조적인 대책만으로는 재해피해를 경감시키는데 한계가 있음을 인식하여 구조적 대책과 더불어 토지이용규제 및 개발규제, 홍수터관리, 홍수예경보 등 비구조적 재해대 비능력 향상이 시급한 현황이다. 우리나라의 경우, 구조적 수방기술의 발전은 비교적 높은 수준에 도달해 있지만, 구조적 대책에 비해 비구조적 대책의 개발 및 적용은 미흡한 형편이므로, 비구조적 홍수대책의 종합적 정비 및 효율적 운영방법 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 홍수유형별 발생원인별 대표적인 비구조적 홍수대책을 국내외 적용사례를 조사하여 분석하고, 비구조적인 홍수방어대책들에 대한 장단점 및 적용성 등의 정성적 평가를 실시하였다. 국내 여건에 적합한 홍수위험구역 설정방안을 제시하고자, 국내의 다양한 하천공간 확보를 위한 관련규정인 하천구역, 홍수관리구역, 수변구역, 상수원보호구역, 친수구역, 홍수위험구역, 자연재해위험지구, 방재지구 등에 대하여 조사하였으며, 국외 사례로 영국의 홍수위험구역 평가제도, 미국의 홍수터 관리 프로그램, 호주의 하천공간 분류 기준, 일본의 하천공간 설정 기준 등에 대한 고찰을 수행하였다. 또한 국내 홍수보험 제도의 문제점 분석 및 제고방안을 제시하고자, 현재 소방방재청 주관으로 시행되고 있는 풍수해보험제도에 대한 조사 및 분석을 실시하였으며, 미국에서 시행되고 있는 국가홍수보험프로그램, 프랑스의 자연재해보험, 스위스의 자연재해보험풀 제도, 일본의 홍수보험제도에 대하여 심층적인 고찰을 수행하였다.
