하천은 인간뿐만 아니라 다양한 생물이 서식하는 장소로 하천생태계 보전은 수많은 생물들에게 있어 중요한 요소이다. 1970년대의 국내 하천은 대부분 자연하천의 모습을 경제 성장과 더불어 도시화, 공업화 등으로 용수 수요가 급속히 증가함에 따라 기능 위주의 하천관리가 이루어졌으며, 이로 인해 하천유황의 장기적인 변화가 나타났다. 변화가 발생한 하천은 본래의 모습인 자연 하천으로 완벽하게 복원될 수 없다는 한계점이 있으나, 자연과 인간이 서로 유익하게 도움을 주는 양방향 관계로 발전한다면 하천의 기능도 유지하고 하천수생생물 보존에도 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 즉, 하천이 갖고 있는 하천공학적 기능을 최대한 유지하면서도 다양한 수생생물의 서식처의 기능도 되살아나게 해야하는 복합적인 목적을 갖고 있다. 하천 수생생물의 서식처 복원을 위해서는 하천생태계에 필요한 환경유량의 정량적인 평가와 확보방안 및 공급방안의 검토가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 HEC-EFM(Ecosystem Function Model)을 활용하여 하천 수생생물의 서식조건을 고려한 환경유량을 산정하였다. 연구 대상유역은 2013년 김천부항댐이 준공된 감천유역을 연구대상유역으로 선정하였으며, 댐 건설에 따른 환경유량의 변화와 기후변화를 고려한 가까운 미래의 수문환경 변화 및 이에 따른 환경유량과 하천생태계 서식처 변화를 살펴보고자 하였다.

Stream Naturalness means the index of natural state in stream's ecosystem. The evaluation of stream naturalness can evaluate relatively the effect of environmental damages by human and to show how significantly current stream has been apart from its natural state. And it could be show what is the meaning of importance in stream's ecosystem by such distinctions and it Is done by showing the need how a large scale of action for restoration to be restored to natural state of stream system. In this study, a set of index for Stream Naturalness evaluation is proposed, which is referred to and modified problems with domestic and foreign study cases. This methodology is supposed to show well the characteristics of stream in Korea. A case study of Hong-Chun River shows how this methodology is applied to the Stream Naturalness evaluation. For improving the function of river which are water use and flood control and for preserving the function of inhabitation, the proposed methodology is expected to be used a index of direction for a environmental project related stream improvement by evaluation of ecologically sound function in streams.

In the area of such a nature-friendly stream improvement, it is not established yet which engineering method is suitable for stream environment, due to lack of technology. Therefore, although nature-friendly stream improvement was done with expensive engineering method, the effect has not been fully confirmed, which results from the absence of overall valuation tool of stream improvement. In this regard, it is necessary to develop and apply comprehensive and diverse valuation methods covering stream functions to the analysis of stream improvement. In this study, we collected data from years' of monitoring on the Gyeongcheon river, which is located in Sunchang-eup, Jeollabuk-do and recently underwent an nature-friendly stream improvement work. Based on the data, we developed a series of valuation methods such as stream naturalness evaluation, life cycle evaluation, amenity evaluation, and economic benefit analysis to consider the environmental function of stream from a comprehensive perspective. Stream naturalness evaluation is a quantitative analysis of how natural a stream is, and includes additional valuation items such as ecosystem and water quality for the purpose of overall valuation, unlike existing research focusing on physical elements and structural characteristics of a stream. We developed a method of stream valuation with life cycle assessment to river reorganization project. Amenity evaluation method was developed as a means to analyze residents' satisfaction with stream improvement through questionnaires. Economic benefit analysis was developed as a means to determine the attributes of environmental water supply, ecosystem, river maintenance, and water quality and predict economic benefits using contingent valuation method (CVM) and multi-attribute utility analysis (MAUA) method in order to analyze economic benefits brought in by stream improvement. It is considered that the four methods developed in this study make possible to conduct an overall and quantitative analysis of stream improvement.

Recently, local governments have recognized river zones as leisure spaces and local festival venues, and hence, the pressure for developing these zones has increased significantly. However, given the unique functionalities of river zones and the time and costs associated with maintaining facilities and restoring damaged areas, a development plan must be selected carefully. To preserve river zones and to facilitate nature-friendly space utilization, this study focused on improving environmental impact assessment (EIA), which is an institutional implementation procedure for project plans. This study prepared a draft guide for EIA by providing an overview of the research background and survey outcomes, including the status of laws and regulations on river zones, development plans, and opinions on EIA. The results showed that because strategic EIA of basic river plans is important for district designation of river zones and the scope and direction of space utilization, it is necessary to establish a more meticulous business plan before reviewing and evaluating the mini EIA linked to the future implementation of a plan to derive a reasonable assessment. Additionally, this study provides a draft guide for EIA to evaluate the suitability of water-friendly facility construction plans considering the location characteristics and to reflect the factors that can reduce the environmental impacts during the mini EIA stage. In the future, we expect that the results of this study will serve as a foundation for establishing instructions and guides for the development of nature-friendly and water-friendly facilities in river zones during the establishment of plans.

최근 전세계적 추세인 기후변화에 따라 빈번하게 발생하는 집중호우와 하천주변의 급격한 도시화로 인한 불투수면적 증가에 따라 동일한 하천에서도 시간이 지남에 따라 유출량이 급격하게 증가하고 있다. 이로 인해 도시하천유역에서 침수피해 및 피해액이 증가하는 추세이다. 이러한 피해를 방지하기 위해 우리나라는 국가하천, 지방하천, 소하천에 대한 치수계획을 수립하고 있으며 주기적으로 재수립하고 있는 실정이다. 하천에 대한 대표적인 치수계획인 하천기본계획은 하천에 대한 치수계획 뿐만 아니라 하천환경, 하천공간계획, 하천시설물 유지관리방안 등을 고려하여 수립하도록 하고 있다. 하지만 현재 수립되고 있는 하천기본계획을 자세하게 살펴보면 치수, 하천환경 등 분야별 조사 및 분석은 수행하고 있으나 연계성이 부족한 것이 사실이다. 예를 들어 하천의 치수측면의 요소는 하천환경을 구성하는 요소에 긍적적인 기능을 할 수도 있고, 부정적인 기능을 할 수도 있으며 하천환경 뿐만 아니라 친수공간 결정에 영향을 동시에 미칠 수 도 있을 것이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 하천의 치수계획과 관련된 분야를 치수, 하천환경, 친수공간, 하천시설물 4개 분야로 구분하고, 각 분야를 구성하는 요소들이 타 분야 및 분야를 구성하는 요소들에 어떤 영향을 얼마나 미칠 수 있는 지에 대한 영향성 또는 민감도를 정량화하여 평가할 수 있는 기법을 개발하여 종합적인 하천치수계획이 수립될 수 있도록 하고자 한다. 이를 위해 하천기본계획, 하천설계기준, 4개 분야에 대한 평가 관련 선행연구 분석을 통해 하천구성요소들 망라하여 목록화 하였고, 각 분야를 대표할 수 있는 주요 요소들을 도출하여 군집화 하였다. 본 연구를 통해 도출된 치수, 하천환경, 친수공간, 하천시설물 분야별 주요 하천구성요소는 도시하천에 대한 종합적인 치수계획을 수립하기 위한 기법을 개발하는데 기초자료로 활용될 것이다.

This study was carried out to assess problems related to legislative regulations and guidelines concerning some biological assessment systems applied to stream corridor in Korea. We comparatively reviewed the law of stream corridors and the guidelines for master plan concerned, and the law of water quality and health assessment criteria for the aquatic ecosystem concerned. Stream environments were not managed effectively due to the absence of detail regulations and the criteria for stream assessment. A biological assessment system was not equivalently integrated within the management of water resources in process implementation of projects resulting from the dualistic management system for stream corridors in Korea. The current biological assessment system was reflected to mainly physical habitats or only oriented to some aquatic species correlated with water quality. This system was also recognized as part of environment impact assessment based on an intensive survey method of most biological taxa. Conclusively rapid and quantitative assessment techniques based on advanced organisms, such as vegetation, fish and birds, etc. should be urgently provided for considering as representative indicators of stream conditions in Korea.

Various facilities in the river working in a complex interdependence network result in both desired and adverse effects. Among these, the weir crossing the river continuously acts in various ways, such as securing river maintenance flow and water level during dry-period, and rising flood level during rainy period. Until now, weir planning was only limited to flood mitigation management. Recently, the demand for securing river environment functions is increasing. Therefore, the necessity for an environmental flow has emerged. Nevertheless, there is no analysis and evaluation of the ecological functional aspects applying the environmental flow when planning facilities. Therefore, this study aimed to develop and systematize an assessment method that considers not only flood control but also river environment. Environmental flow was applied to the weir named Dondaet-bo and hydraulic analysis was conducted for each retention, demolition, and re-installation case. Also, this research was conducted to minimize the impact on the surrounding river facilities and flood assessments from previous perspectives were performed. The study result demonstrated a plan to reinstall the weir as a natural riffle. Through this study, it is expected that the flood control and environmental functions of rivers can be secured in combination.

The Urban Stream Assessment Technique (USAT) was suggested to give information about present urban stream condition. Domestic and foreign stream evaluation methods were analyzed and some streams were previously investigated to decide evaluation factors that could evaluate stream condition and have concern with characteristics and flood control of urban stream. The USAT consisted of three steps. High step has three characteristics concerned with functions of stream such as flood risk, stream, and ecology. In middle step, three characteristics were subdivided by ten features to describe changes and degradations of urban stream. Low step consisted of fifty three factors that explain the present condition of ten features. A survey of river experts was conducted to reflect weight among characteristics and features. The weights were calculated by analytic hierarchy process(AHP). The USAT was carried out to check over application of that in Suwon, Anyang, and Joongrang stream. The results of stream evaluation were expressed by factor index, feature index, characteristic index, total index, and evaluation grade. The results of the USAT were useful to realize changed and degraded areas. It is expected that the USAT can be used as base investigation for restoring and managing urban streams.
