In order to investigate relation between park scale and temperature decrease in and near parks, temperature distribution was observed and was analyzed in four parks of different scales. Relation between the temperature decrease and ratio of green coverage was also analyzed by using regression analysis. Lower temperature was observed in and near the parks and larger cooling effect was implicated near the larger parks. The result of regression analysis showed that the increase of green coverage ratio lends the decrease of the temperature in the parks. The degree of the temperature decrease varied according to the types of the coverage.

Geographically Imha basin is adjacent to Andong basin, but the occurrence of turbid water in each reservoir by storm events shows big differences. Hence, it is very important to identify the reason for these large differences. This study compared and analyzed soil erosion using the semi-empirical soil erosion model, RUSLE for both Imha and Andong basin, especially with emphasis on high-density turbid water. The agricultural district, which is the most vulnerable to soil erosion, was intensively analyzed based on land cover map produced by Ministry of Environment. As a result, the portion of the agricultural area is 11.88% for Andong basin, while it is 14.95% for Imha basin. Also all RUSLE factors excepts practice factor turned out to be higher for Imha basin. This means that the basin characteristics such as soil texture, terrain, and land cover for Imha basin is more vulnerable to soil erosion. Estimation of soil erosion by RUSLE for Andong and Imha basin is 1,275,806 ton and 1,501,608 ton, respectively, showing higher soil erosion by 225,802 ton for Imha basin.

A higher spatial resolution is preferable to support the accuracy of detailed climate analysis in urban areas. Airborne LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) and satellite (KOMPSAT-2, Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite-2) images at 1 to 4 m resolution were utilized to produce digital elevation and building surface models as well as land cover maps at very high(5m) resolution. The Climate Analysis Seoul(CAS) was used to calculate the fractional coverage of land cover classes in built-up areas and thermal capacity of the buildings from their areal volumes. It then produced analyzed maps of local-scale temperature based on the old and new input data. For the verification of the accuracy improvement by the precise input data, the analyzed maps were compared to the surface temperature derived from the ASTER satellite image and to the ground observation at our detailed study region. After the enhancement, the ASTER temperature was highly correlated with the analyzed temperature at building (BS) areas (R=0.76) whereas there observed no correlation with the old input data. The difference of the air temperature deviation was reduced from 1.27 to 0.70K by the enhancement. The enhanced precision of the input data yielded reasonable and more accurate local-scale temperature analysis based on realistic surface models in built-up areas. The improved analysis tools can help urban planners evaluating their design scenarios to be prepared for the urban climate.

The study aims to provide an academic basis for the preservation and restoration of abandoned paddy wetland and the enhancement of its carbon accumulation function. First, the temporal change of the wetlands was analysed, and a typological classification system for wetlands was attempted with the goal of carbon reduction. The types of wetland were classified based on three variables: hydrological environment, vegetation, and carbon accumulation, with a special attention on the function of carbon accumulation. The types of abandoned paddy wetlands were classified into 12 categories based on hydrologic variables- either high or low levels of water inflow potential-, vegetation variables with either dominance of aquatic plants or terrestrial plants, and three carbon accumulation variables including organic matter production, soil organic carbon accumulation, and decomposition. It was found that the development period of abandoned paddy analyzed with aerial photographs provided by the National Geographic Information Institute happened between 2010 and 2015. In the case of the wetland in Daejeon 1 (DJMN01) farming stopped by 1990 and it appeared to be a similar structure to natural wetlands after 2010 . Over the past 40 years the abandoned paddy wetland changed to a high proportion of forests and agricultural lands. As time went by, such forests and agricultural lands tended to decrease rapidly and the lands were covered by artificial grass and other types of forests.

Hyperspectral imagery is used in the land cover classification with the principle component analysis and minimum noise fraction to reduce the data dimensionality and noise. Recently, studies on the supervised classification using various features having spectral information and spatial characteristic have been carried out. In this study, principle component bands and normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI) was utilized in the supervised classification for the land cover classification. To utilize additional information not included in the principle component bands by the hyperspectral imagery, we tried to increase the classification accuracy by using the NDVI. In addition, the extended attribute profiles(EAP) generated using the morphological filter was used as the input data. The random forest algorithm, which is one of the representative supervised classification, was used. The classification accuracy according to the application of various features based on EAP was compared. Two areas was selected in the experiments, and the quantitative evaluation was performed by using reference data. The classification accuracy of the proposed algorithm showed the highest classification accuracy of 85.72% and 91.14% compared with existing algorithms. Further research will need to develop a supervised classification algorithm and additional input datasets to improve the accuracy of land cover classification using hyperspectral imagery.

LiDAR, unlike satellite imagery and aerial photographs, which provides irregularly distributed three-dimensional coordinates of ground surface, enables three-dimensional modeling. In this study, urban area was classified based on 3D information collected by LiDAR. Morphological and spatial properties are determined by the ratio of ground and non-ground point that are estimated with the number of ground reflected point data of LiDAR raw data. With this information, the residential and forest area could be classified in terms of height and density of trees. The intensity of the signal is distinguished by a statistical method, Jenk's Natural Break. Vegetative area (high or low density) and non-vegetative area (high or low density) are classified with reflective ratio of ground surface.

This research aims to produce basic data for developing habitat suitability models on the breeding sites of Oriental White Storks(Ciconia boyciana) which will be reintroduced to the wild in the future. The habitat characteristics of ten historical nesting sites of the Oriental White Storks at Gyeonggi and Chungcheong provinces in South Korea were analyzed with 1970's land use maps and Landsat MSS. The range of altitude on nesting sites was 40~116.38m. The mean distance from nesting sites to rice fields, to 30m wider river, and to reservoirs was $54.8{\pm}84.48m$, $869.8{\pm}708.01m$, and $1721.2{\pm}906.05m$ respectively. Historical nesting sites were located close to human settlements, and the mean distance of nesting sites to human settlements was $144.1{\pm}182.97m$. The land types within 5km radius from ten historical nesting sites consisted of 53.7% forest, 28.3% rice fields, 16.7% grasslands, 0.8% water bodies, and 0.6% human settlements. The composition of four land types(forest, rice fields, grasslands, and human settlements) was significantly differed between 93 random points and 10 historical nesting sites.

Most researches have created the impervious surface map by using low-spatial-resolution satellite imagery and are inefficient to generate the object-based impervious map with a broad area. In this study, segment-based impervious surface mapping algorithm is proposed using the RapidEye satellite imagery in order to map impervious area. At first, additional bands are generated by using TOA reflectance conversion RapidEye data. And then, shadow and water class are extracted using training data of converted reflectance image. Object-based impervious surface can be generated by spectral mixture analysis based on land cover map of Ministry of Environment with medium scale, in the case of other classes except shadow and water classes. The experiment shows that result by our method represents high classification accuracy compared to reference data, quantitatively.

다양한 지면 모형은 대기 강제력 데이터 세트에 의해 구동되며 육지의 물, 에너지 및 생지화학적 순환의 해석에 활용된다. 그 중 에너지 플럭스 교환을 추정하는 것은 극심한 가뭄, 폭염, 물 부족 등 극한 기후 현상에서 중요한 역할을 한다. 에너지 플럭스는 기상기후조건과 토지피복의 변화에 따른 영향을 받고 있는데 그 영향을 구체적으로 조사하는 것은 생태계 프로세스의 매커니즘을 구성하는 데 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 최신버전인 Community Land Model 버전 5.0 (CLM5)를 이용하여 동북아시아 지역의 에너지 플럭스의 시공간분포를 분석하였다. CLM5의 시뮬레이션은 1991년부터 2010년까지 2.5° × 2.5° 그리드에서 실행되었고 주요 에너지 인자인 순복사량, 현열, 잠열을 모의하였으며, 실행결과는 FLUXNET의 동북아시아 사이트의 관측자료를 이용하여 모델을 검증 및 평가하였다. 대기 강제력 변수의 차이는 모의 결과에 영향을 미치기 때문에 수문인자와 토지피복유형에 따른 에너지 플럭스의 변동성을 분석하였고 잠열을 식생 증발산열과 지면 증발열로 파티션하여 연구지역에 따른 각 구성요소의 비율을 산정하였다. 20년간의 순복사열, 잠열과 온도의 시공간적 변동성의 연 추세를 분석한 결과 동북아시아의 대부분 지역에서 잠열과 온도는 소폭 증가되였고 순복사열은 중국 내륙과 몽골지역에서 감소되였다. 본 연구는 지표와 대기 사이의 에너지 교환에 대해 분석하였으며 이후 증발산 및 물 플럭스와의 연동성과 관계성 분석에 활용하여 기후변화를 이해하는 데 기여할수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
