The channel improvement plan has contributed to the flood damage reduction studies and the plan has mainly performed by the levee construction which creates the cut river. The cut river has mainly used as the agricultural and housing purposes. Recently, however, it is considered as a natural wetland for the purposes of a flood control and preservation of nature. So, this study compares the economical benefits according to the purposes of the cut river utilizations such as an agricultural, levee construction for flood damage reduction, and wetland. The study area is the downstream part of Kok-Neung stream which is a main tributary of Han river. The agricultural and levee construction benefits are estimated based on the 'Agricultural and Forestry Statistical Year' (2000) and the 'Standard for River Design' (2001). The benefit or value for the wetland utilization of the cut river is estimated by the enquete using questionnaire. As a results, for the case of which the cut river is used as an agricultural land, the present net benefit is estimated as 195.81 million won, for the levee construction, as 20853.00 million won and for the wetland, as 24692.89 million won. Therefore, the wetland is the best choice for the cut river utilization.

최근의 하천복원사업은 인위적으로 축소 또는 소실된 하천공간을 지형학적으로 되돌리기 위한 방향과 강이 가진 자연의 역동성의 복원에 주안점을 두고 있다. 최근 국내에서도 하천공간 확보라는 측면에서 구하천 구역을 복원하려는 시도가 이뤄지고 있고 대표적으로 청미천, 함평천, 황구지천 등에서 기존의 제방을 후퇴시키고 과거의 하천공간을 하천으로 되돌려 주었다. 그러나 이러한 시도는 구하도 또는 폐천부지 복원사업의 일환으로 시행되었으며, 복원된 공간규모가 크지 않아 사업의 효과를 크게 장담할 수 없는 현실적인 한계가 있다. 따라서 홍수에 안전하며 자연과 인간이 공존하는 터전으로의 공간복원, 그에 따른 하천생태계의 보전과 복원, 레저와 레크레이션이 가능한 친수공간 조성 등 하천기능의 강화와 융합을 종합적으로 고려한 다차원 하천공간 복원계획과 설계의 절차가 필요하다. 이를 위해서는 먼저 유역기반의 문제점과 그 원인에 대한 인식이 선행되어야 하고 그 해법으로 하천공간 확대의 필요성이 도출되어야 한다. 이후, 하천공간 복원 및 활용과 관련된 기본방향이 설정되며 세부 복원목표가 설정되어야 한다. 복원목적과 목표가 세워진 후, 복원대상지를 선정하고 공간 활용방안이 제시되면, 목표달성 여부 판단을 위한 효과분석이 필요하다. 만약, 기대효과를 달성할 수 없을 것으로 예상된다면 복원목표 재설정 및 복원대상지의 재선정이 필요할 것이다. 이와같이 하천공간 복원사업을 시행함에 있어 간결하고 단계적으로 접근하기 위해 본 연구에서는 다차원 하천공간 복원프레임워크를 개발하여 제시하였다. 제안된 하천공간 복원프레임워크를 통해 하천공간복원으로 인해 영향을 미칠 수 있고 또한 영향을 받을 수 있는 물리, 생물, 사회, 경제 등의 다양한 분야의 구조를 통합한 하나의 방법을 제시함으로서 임시방편 수준의 파괴된 하천복원사업에 변화를 주고 프레임워크를 통해 하천공간복원에 대한 응집력 있는 접근법을 적용하도록 촉진하여 복원사업에 참여하는 사람들 간에 공통의 유대감을 형성하는데 도움이 되고자 한다.

Aquatic ecosystem is composed of various organic and inorganic matters. Its health is essential for sustaining its members such as vegetations, mammals, birds, fishes and invertebrates. Samcheonpo stream is one of candidate streams in Sacheon area of ecological restoration. For this reason, this study conducted to build up a data base for future comparison. The results shows that biodiversity of Epilithic Diatoms and Invertebrates is below average which means that human impacts such as artificial structures and activities have been negatively related to stream health. Consequently, we suggest several key factors when ecological restoration is performed in the stream.

The abandoned channel restoration is one of methods to enhance the environmental function and ecological habitat as well as the functions of water-utilization and flood control. The channel-forming or dominant discharge must be evaluated and defined to design the cross-sectional and plane geometries of the stable and equilibrium channel for the abandoned channel restoration project. In general, bankfull discharge, specified recurrence interval discharge, and effective discharge have been used to decide the channel-forming discharge. In this study, bankfull discharge, specified recurrence interval discharge, and effective discharge were calculated and compared for the abandoned channel restoration site of Cheongmi Stream and their relations to historical bed changes were analyzed. The bankfull discharge, 488 $m^3/s$, of the abandoned channel restoration site of Cheongmi Stream was calculated using HEC-RAS data and ranged between 1.5-year and 2-year recurrence discharges. Also, the effective discharge evaluated with the sediment rating curve and mean daily discharge data is greater than the bankfull discharge. According to the survey data of 1994 and 2008, the bed elevation of the study reach was decreased over time. It is indicated that the channel bed is changing to the stable condition to allow the effective discharge.

Old river channels have been formed by engineering a straight channel in Korea. This can be classified as wetland-type or land-type. The wetland-type old river channel uses parts of agricultural water supply. However, the channels have been neglected since there are problems associated with poor water quality, reduced water level, ecosystem disturbance, etc. Thus, river maintenance through preservation and restoration of old river channel can be very effective in watershed management. To achieve this, functional assessment of wetland-type old river channel is a priority need. This study applied the wetland-type channel in Mangyoung river for functional assessment. It was formed these channels with regard to the following four major criteria (Natureless, Habitat, Water-friendliness and Water quality) and 21 indices. The indices managed by measuring depending in weights. Consequently, wetland-type channel in Mangyoung river was in good condition both natureless and habitat, while it was a fragile environment in water-friendliness and water quality. In particular, the areas where it has insufficiency water and water suffering from eutrophication needs urgent improvement. This results will be used to utilize wetland-type old river channel as watershed management.
