This study makes an attempt to appraise how much successful both (Ham-Pyung) Butterfly Festival and (Mu-Ju) Firefly Festival are in the view point of ecology-friendly effects, and based on this appraisal, searches for desirable and developmental directions of other eco-festivals. The empirical analysis of the study shows that even if the Butterfly Festival turns out to be more famous than the Firefly Festival, the latter is confirmed to be more eco-friendly than the former. The fact that the latter is more eco-friendly seems to be due to the fact that the subject matter, that is the theme, of the festival is the fireflies which are not only natural monuments but also peculiar in-site-resources specific to Mu-Ju. This fact suggests that the other eco-festivals, newly emerging ones in particular, need to find and designate in-site-resources inherent in their regions as the theme, as far as possible.

River restoration plan and selection method are needed to reflect the diversity of river. Meanwhile, the ultimate purpose of river restoration is natural recovery of the river. Recently. hydrophilic enhancement is a tendency to include. In this study, naturalness of a river was used to establish alternative for the natural river recovery. Also, naturalness of a river calculated by using the evaluation of river naturalness that was developed using multi-criteria decision making to fit the environmental conditions in Korea. After selection the evaluation items for assessing the naturalness of the river based on the characteristics of the river, multiple alternatives were constructed and the naturalness of river for each of those alternatives were estimated. Comparing the estimated values has made the measurement of the natural recovery effect for each alternative efficient.

In this study, sediment cores from unvegetated tidal flats in the Hampyeong Bay (west coastal wetland) and Dongdae Bay (south coastal wetland) were sampled, the blue carbon stock in the sediments was calculated, and the characteristics of the blue carbon stock were analyzed based on particle size of the sediments. The sediments in the Hampyeong Bay tidal flat had large particle size and low mud content, and the Dongdae bay tidal flat had small particle size and high mud content. The organic carbon content and blue carbon stock in the sediments were higher in the Dongdae tidal flat than in the Hampyeong Bay tidal flat. As a result of the regression function, in both the Hampyeong Bay and Dongdae Bay tidal flats, the sediments had the smaller particle size and higher mud contents the higher the organic carbon content and blue carbon stock. The sediments with smaller particle size had the larger specific surface area, so were feasible to adsorb and store more organic matters.

Anchored measurements (12.5 hr) of suspended sediment concentration and other hydrodynamic parameters were carried out at two stations located at the entrance to Hampyung Bay in summer (August 1999). Tidal variations in water temperature and salinity were in the range of 26.0-27.9$^{\circ}C$ and 30.9-31.5, respectively, indicating exchange offshore and offshore water mass. Active tidal mixing processes at the entrance appear to destroy the otherwise vertical stratification in temperature and salinity in spite of strong solar heating in summer. On the contrary, suspended sediment concentrations show a marked stratification with increasing concentrations toward bottom layer. Clastic particles in suspended sediments consist mostly of very fine to fine silt (4-16 ${\mu}$m) with a poorly-sorted value of 14.7-25.9 ${\mu}$m. However, at slack time with less turbulent energy, flocs larger than 40 ${\mu}$m are formed by cohesion and inter-collision of particles, resulting in a higher settling velocity. Strong ebb-dominated and weak flood dominated tidal currents, in the southwestern and the northeastern part, respectively, result in a seaward residual flow of -10${\sim}$-20 cm $s^{-1}$ at station H1 and a bayward residual flow less than 5.0 cm $s^{-1}$ at station H2. However, mean concentration of suspended sediments at station H1 is higher at flood (95.0-144.1 mg $1^{-1}$) than in ebb (75.8-120.9 mg $1^{-1}$). On the contrary, at the station H2, the trend is reversed with higher concentration at the ebb (84.7-158.4 mg $1^{-1}$) than that at the flood (53.0-107.9 mg $1^{-1}$). As a result, seaward net suspended sediment fluxes ($f_{s}$) are calculated to be -1.7 ${\sim}$-$15.610^{3}$ kg $m^{-2}$ $s^{-1}$ through the whole water column. However, the stations H1 and H2 show definitely different values of the flux with higher ones in the former than in the latter. Alternatively, depth-integrated net suspended sediment loads ($\c{Q}_{s}$) for one tidal cycle are also toward the offshore with ranges of 0.37${\times}$$10^{3}$ kg $m^{-1}$ and 0.21${\times}$$10^{3}$ kg $m^{-1}$, at station H1 and H2, respectively. This seaward transport of suspended sediment in summer suggests that summer-time erosion in the Hampyung muddy tidal flats is a rather exceptional phenomenon compared to the general deposition reported for many other tidal flats on the west coast of Korea.

Around Yeongsan river basin, there are Yeongkwang Gundong, Muan Inpyeong Tombs, Muu Gusan-ri Tombs and Hampyeong Guksan remain from which a lot of iron artifacts were excavated. Among them, 6 iron artifacts were chosen, and their microstructures were analyzed. As a result, Iron artifacts were produced sponge iron by the low temperature reduction process and a part of microstructure have the possibility that steel made by decarburizing. And also, by tempering the parts which need high strength, the iron artifacts had high strength and by distributing the weakness of the tempered structure to the nearby untempered parts, their breaking was prevented and they had the durability. These skills were used then. Especially these skills were found to be used in the 2nd century by high skilled people because an iron axe excavated at Yeongkwang Gundong of 2nd century by the historical record showed that the skill was used. Also microstructures were found to show the possibility that the iron technology was inherited to the late 5th century. When producing iron artifacts made of sponge iron containing small amount of carbon, that was made by the production process repeating molding, carburizing, heat treatment and hammering.

현장 계측을 통한 오염부하량 산정은 많은 시간, 노력, 비용을 필요로 한다. 이러한 어려움을 해결하기 위해 오염부하 추정에 관한 많은 방법론들이 제시되고 있으며 개발되고 있는 중이다. 논오염부하 추정을 위한 일환으로 강우사상평균농도(Event Mean Conentration, EMC)에 관한 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. 하지만, 오염부하량 산정을 위해서는 농도이외의 주요 매개변수인 유출량 산정 또한 중요하다. 하지만 논의 경우 실제 유출량 자료는 흔치 않다. 우리나라의 경우 영농활동이 시기별, 지역별로 비슷한 형태를 가지고 있으므로 이러한 점을 이용하면 유출율을 추정하는데 용이할 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 본 연구는 2004년부터 2007년 영농기 강우-유출량 실측 자료를 이용하여 시기별 유출특성을 파악하고, 논의 시기별 유출율을 제안하였다. 논의 시기별 유출율을 산정하기 위한 시험지구는 영산강 수계내에 위치한 전라남도 함평군 엄다면 화양리 13.69 ha 논지구이며, 2004년부터 2007년 영농기(5월$\sim$9월)동안 모니터링을 실시하였다. 논 배수로 말단에 수위계를 설치하여 수위-유량관계식을 이용하여 유량을 구하였고, 직선분리법을 이용하여 직접유출과 기저유출을 분리한후 강우량과 유출량의 비를 통하여 월별 평균 유출율을 산정하였다. 5월, 6월, 7월, 8월, 9월에 내린 평균 강수량은 각각 40.2, 50.1, 75.4, 75.8, 136.8 mm로 나타났고, 영농기 월별 평균 직접유출량은 각각 9.1, 26.6, 34.6, 42.9, 79.6 mm로 나타났다. 강우량과 유출량의 비를 통해 4개년 5월, 6월 7월 8월 9월 평균 유출율은 각각 0.18, 0.42, 0.40, 0.44, 0.49로 나타나 논의 경우 시기별로 유출율이 차이가 있는 것으로 조사되었다.

In this study, we analyze changes in soil heat flux and air temperature in August (summer) and January (winter) according to net radiation, at a mud flat in Hampyeong Bay. Net radiation was observed as $-84.2{\sim}696.2W/m^2$ in August and $-79.4{\sim}352.5W/m^2$ in January. Soil heat flux was observed as $-80.7{\sim}139.5Wm^{-2}$ in August and $-49.09{\sim}137W/m^2$ in January. Air temperature was observed as $24.2{\sim}32.9^{\circ}C$ in August and $-1.5{\sim}11.1^{\circ}C$ in January. The rate of soil heat flux for net radiation ($H_G/R_N$) was 0.17 in August and 0.34 in January. Because the seasonal fluctuation in net radiation was bigger than the soil heat flux, net radiation in August was bigger than in January. We estimated a linear regression function to analyze variations in soil heat flux and air temperature by net radiation. The linear regression function and coefficient of determination for the soil heat flux by net radiation was y=0.19x-7.94, 0.51 in August, and y=0.39x-11.69, 0.81 in January. The time lag of the soil heat flux by net radiation was estimated to be within ten minutes in August 2012 and January 2013. The time lag of air temperature by net radiation was estimated at 160 minutes in August, and 190 minutes in January.
