Twenty-nine wetlands (20 river type and 9 lake type wetlands) in Gyeongsangnam-do were investigated to understand the characteristics of fish assemblages by the wetland type and to suggest management strategies. As a result, $10.3{\pm}4.8$ species were collected from river type wetlands on average (${\pm}SD$) and $9.1{\pm}4.1$ species from lake type wetlands. Thus, there was no significant difference in the number of species between them (Mann-Whitney U test, P>0.05). However, the species that constitute the fish assemblage showed statistically significant differences between the two wetland types (PERMANOVA, Pseudo-F=2.9555, P=0.007). Furthermore, the species that contribute the most to each type of fish assemblage were Zacco koreanus (river type, 28.51%) and Lepomis macrochirus (lake type, 23.21%), respectively (SIMPER). The results of the NMDS analysis using the fish assemblage by place classified the species into three groups (river type, lake type, and others). The current wetland management is only focused on endangered species, but this study shows a difference in fish assemblage by wetland type. Therefore, a management system based information on endemic species, exotic species and major contribution species should be provided. Furthermore, the classification of some types of wetlands based on the present topography was found to be ambiguous, and wetland classification using living creatures can be used as a complementary method. This study has limitations because only two types of wetlands were analyzed. Therefore, a detailed management method that can represent every type of wetland should be prepared through the research of all types of wetlands in the future.

Understanding the status of surface cover in riparian zones is essential for river management and flood disaster prevention. Traditional survey methods rely on expert interpretation of vegetation through vegetation mapping or indices. However, these methods are limited by their ability to accurately reflect dynamically changing river environments. Against this backdrop, this study utilized satellite imagery to apply the Random Forest method to assess the distribution of vegetation in rivers over multiple years, focusing on the Naeseong Stream as a case study. Remote sensing data from Sentinel-2 imagery were combined with ground truth data from the Naeseong Stream surface cover in 2016. The Random Forest machine learning algorithm was used to extract and train 1,000 samples per surface cover from ten predetermined sampling areas, followed by validation. A sensitivity analysis, annual surface cover analysis, and accuracy assessment were conducted to evaluate their applicability. The results showed an accuracy of 85.1% based on the validation data. Sensitivity analysis indicated the highest efficiency in 30 trees, 800 samples, and the downstream river section. Surface cover analysis accurately reflects the actual river environment. The accuracy analysis identified 14.9% boundary and internal errors, with high accuracy observed in six categories, excluding scattered and herbaceous vegetation. Although this study focused on a single river, applying the surface cover classification method to multiple rivers is necessary to obtain more accurate and comprehensive data.

농업 비점오염원으로부터의 수질 보전이나 수자원 관리는 유역단위로 하는 것이 세계적 추세이며, 지형이 복잡한 우리나라에서는 더욱 효율적일 수 있다. 유역은 물이나 기타 물질들이 모여 강이나 더 큰 수계로 흘러드는 지표수의 범위라 표현할 수 있으며 그 범위를 정함에 따라 매우 중요한 의미를 지니게 된다. 특히, 강우에 따른 수자원의 유입과 유출이 토양을 통해 발생함에도 불구하고 기존의 유역단위 구분이 토양의 특성을 전혀 반영하지 못하고 있는 우리의 현실은 효율적 관리를 위한 유역단위 구분의 큰 단점으로 작용해왔다. 따라서, 농업적 관리뿐만 아니라 수질관리 및 수자원 관리를 위해서도 유역단위 특히, 소유역을 토양특성이 포괄하는 체계적 단위로 분류할 필요성이 있다. 토양학에서는 동일한 모재에서 유래된 일련의 토양이 미세지형에 따라 연속적으로 분포된 것을 Soil Catena(토양연접군)라고 한다. 이 토양연접군을 위주로 토양을 분류하게 되면 수문이나 기상현상 등의 주요 매질인 토양을 그룹화할 수 있는 가능성을 얻게 되고 이런 그룹화는 유역을 수계 위주의 유역군이 아닌 동일특성이나 유사특성을 나타낼 수 있는 유역군으로 분류가 가능하도록 유도할 것이므로, 이런 분류는 토양을 포함하는 다양한 수문모형의 적용성을 확대해 합리적 수자원 관리에 도움이 될 것이며 수자원 환경에 영향을 미치는 오염물질 관리에 대한 유역단위 보편성을 확보하고 농업에서의 최적관리를 가능하게 할 것이다. 우리나라 유역 세분화는 토양조사가 되어 있는 지역에만 한정해 분류에 이용했다. 대유역은 15개로 구분하였으며(그림 1), 중유역은 117개 소유역은 1,108개를 분석에 사용했다. 유역의 만곡도(하천의 실제길이 하천의 직선장) 산림의 비율(표준유역내 임지토양의 면적 / 소유역의 면적), 평탄지의 비율(표준유역내 평탄지의 비율 / 소유역의 면적), 다른 소유역으로부터의 유입이 있는지의 여부 등을 기본자료로 하였다. 이렇게 구분된 소유역은 유형적으로 보면 유사한 지형 및 토양특성에 따라 그룹화하였다. 유역내 평탄지가 유역면적의 25% 이상을 차지하는 지역을 평야지로 구분하며, 유역내 평탄지가 25% 미만이고 경사지가 45% 이상인 중간지, 유역내 평탄지가 25% 미만이고, 경사지가 45% 미만인 곳을 산간지로 구분하였다. 경사지는 산악지와 구릉지를 제외하여 모든 소유역을 모암 유래토양특성에 따라 16유형, 농업지대에 따라 3개의 유형으로 나눌 수 있으며 총 개의 유형으로 분류하였다. 이런 분류의 토대위에 향후 필요분야마다 구분이 가능한 기후특성을 포함시킨다면 최종적으로는 모든 것이 해설될 수 있는 유역군으로 만들 수 있을 것이다. 즉, 토양특징, 농업특징, 기후특징에 비점오염가능성 등 토지이용상 문제점등을 포괄한다면 다양한 자연현상을 기술할 수 있는 효과적인 유역군이 될 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to identify the type and characteristics of the domestic natural streams in order to establish a basis for stream restoration and evaluation. To this end, 95 domestic natural stream areas, which have various natural environments, were selected except for the province of island and then the characteristics of natural environment, hydromorpholoy, plant and vegetation were investigated and analyzed in each stream area. As a result, 95 stream areas were classified into total 24 types according to 3 criteria such as stream size (4 types), altitude (3 types), bed material (5 types). Depending on altitude class that is the environmental factor showing the highest correlation with each stream types, the emergence of vegetation and plant, 24 stream types were reclassified into 3 types such as lowland (altitude less than 200m), mountain (altitude from 200m to 500m), highland (altitude more than 500m), and hydromorpholoy, plant and vegetation characteristics of each stream type were compared. First, when compared to the mountain and highland streams, the typical features of lowland streams were as follows: Stream size was large but bed material size was small and there were many valley forms where flood plane were developed well. In addition, the more large stream size was, the more cross-section width variability, bars and sinuosity were in good conditions. In lowland stream, representative vegetation community was Salix koreensis community. On the other hand, when compared to the lowland streams, the typical features of mountain and highland streams were as follows: Stream size was small but bed material was coarse-grained and its size was large. Mountain and highland streams valley form where flood plane was not developed well was narrow, and sinuosity and bars development were weak. Representative vegetation communities of mountain streams were Quercus serrata -, Quercus variabilis -, Styrax japonica community and representative vegetation communities of highland streams were Pinus densiflora -, Quercus mongolica -, Fraxinus rhynchophylla community.

A waterfall is a channel unit with steep bedrock. No strict criteria for height, water volume, gradient to define waterfalls exist in Korea. The goal of our study is to classify waterfalls based on morphological forms which are the outcomes of developmental processes. The genesis of waterfall depends upon erosional properties of waterfall. The height, gradient, bedrock strength and stream power of waterfalls are regarded as the main factors, by which waterfalls can be classified. We find out that the most important factor for the development of waterfalls is joint system. Development of joint system varies depending on bedrocks. Flow directions and erosional types are decided by the density and direction of joint system in the bedrock, which also decide the height and gradient of stream bed. Joint type decides the gradients of the bed, gradient and height of waterfalls, therefore, decides morphological forms.

제방은 제내지에 거주하는 인간의 재산과 삶을 방어하고, 홍수를 제어하는 가장 기본적인 수공구조물이다. 제방파괴 원인은 월류, 활동, 침식, 그리고 침투 등으로 분류되어 질 수 있다. 특히 간극수압에 의해 발생하는 침투는 제방 내부침식(internal erosion) 및 파이핑(piping) 등을 야기함으로서 제방파괴를 유도한다. 침투에 의한 제방파괴는 월류나 침식에 의한 제방파괴 유형보다 상대적으로 적으나, 다른 제방파괴 원인을 더욱 활성화 시키는 인자로 작용한다. 도시하천의 경우 높은 치수안전도를 적용하여 제방을 축조함에 따라 월류에 의한 붕괴보다 강우와 하천수의 복합요인에 의한 침투파괴가 중요한 문제로 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 침투와 활동에 대한 안전성을 확보할 수 있는 침투보강기법인 단면확대기법에 대한 적용성 및 유의사항을 수치모의를 통해 검토하였다. 제방 비탈면 경사를 1:2 확대할 경우, 침투유속이 70 %정도 감소되는 것을 확인하였다. 그러나 단면확대기법은 홍수시 통수능과 제내지의 부지 확보 문제 등을 고려하여 적용하여야 하며, 도시하천에서 단면확대기법을 적용하는 데는 일정부분 한계를 가질 것으로 판단된다.

This study was conducted to develop a habitat type classification system and its map based on the ecological characteristics of species, spatial type, vegetation, topography, and geological conditions preferred by species. To evaluate the relationships between species and their habitats in Korean national parks, we prepared a classification standard table for systematic classification of habitat types. This classification system divides habitats into 6 low-level and 59 mid-level ecological classes based on habitat structure. The mid-level system divided forest ecosystems into 20 subtypes, stream and wetland ecosystems into 8 types, coastal ecosystems into 7 types, arable land into 6 types, development land into 9 types, and 1 type of marine ecosystem. A habitat classification map was drawn utilizing square images, detailed vegetation maps, and forest stand maps, based on the above habitat classification system, and it covered 1,461 plots spanning 21 national parks. The habitat classification system and survey protocol, which consider domestic habitat conditions, should be further developed and applied to habitat assessment, to enhance the utility of this study.

Damyang Wetland Reserve with $980,575m^2$ area is located in Damyang-gun, Jeonlanam-do and Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City. The purpose of this paper is to divide Damyang riverine wetland into several geomorphic units, to analyze their sediments, and to categorize small ecosystem units composing riverine wetland. Riverine wetlands are classified into three types such as riverbed-, floodplain-, and abandoned-channel-wetland, and Damyang riverine wetland belongs to riverbed-wetland type. In this paper to categorize small geomorphic units of riverine wetland, we divide small geomorphic units from aircraft images analysis, and modify and supplement them following field survey results. Damyang Wetland Reserve is categorized into 22 ecosystem units. That physical and chemical properties of their sediments are different spatially, implicate that inorganic environment of Damyang riverine wetland ecosystem is very extensive. On the basis of the results of this study, policymakers will be able to design a strategy which manage Damyang Riverine Wetland Reserve more effectively, and for them interdisciplinary researches on relationships between various fluvial landforms and various lifeforms inhabiting them in Damyang Riverine Wetland Reserve are required.

경제적 발달과 사회적 성장으로 인한 도심지 하천과 호소와 같은 수변공간의 개발에 대한 시민의 요구는 다양화되고 높은 수준의 요구가 증가하고 있다. 도심의 수변공간은 도시내 다양한 사회생활과 사람간의 교류가 이루어지는 활동적인 공간이자. 정적이기도 한 다양한 기능을 가진 공간이다. 이러한 도시내 수변공간은 공간은 도시를 관류하는 하천을 중심으로 시민들의 일상적인 휴식과 산책, 여가 생활을 할 수 있는 공간으로 개발되어 왔다. 그러나 전국 주요 도시의 하천들이 수변개발을 통해 동일한 시설과 콘텐츠를 적용함으로써 하천의 다양성이 부족하였다. 수변공간의 개발은 1990년대 이후 도심하천중심의 조경하천으로 개발이 진행되었으며 수변공간 주변에 주거지역이나 상업지역이 들어서면서 기존의 도심 공간에 수변공간이 개발되어 시민의 접근성을 높이고자 하였다. 그러나 개발된 수변공간은 최근의 수변공간 개발은 시민들이 즐겁고 편안하게 즐길 수 있는 공간을 제공하고 지역의 특성을 살리는 방향으로 추진되고 있다. 현재까지 개발된 수변공간은 접근성과 공공성의 결여 주변여건과의 부조화 등이 문제점으로 제시되고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 많은 수변공간에서 관광, 축제, 일상휴식, 레저 등 다양한 목적과 기능으로 시민들이 활용하고 있다. 본 연구는 수변공간 개발을 위해 선행연구를 조사하여 문제점과 수변개발의 특성, 유형 등을 분류한 후 수변공간 개발 시 고려사항과 평가사항을 제시하였다.
