This study was conducted to investigate and analyze the designation status of the Local Wildlife Conservation Ordinance for the conservation and management of wild fauna and flora, and to elucidate the problems and improvement directions. We compared and analyzed the provisions of the wildlife conservation ordinance of 17 regional local governments. After that,the designation status of Wildlife Protected by City/Do was investigated and the appropriateness was confirmed based on guidelines and laws. The ordinances related to wildlife were enacted in all municipalities, and provisions such as selection criteria, protection measures, and act limitations were commonly reflected. The provisions were varied depending on the characteristics of each local government, including details of flag species, the addition of species in the restoration promotion plan as criteria for selection and provision of protection and restoration of habitats. Since 2006, when the wildlife protected by City/Do designation and protection guidelines have been established, the protected wildlife have increased sharply, and there has been newly designated regional local government within the past one or two years. However, in some local government, protected wildlife has been designated for more than 10 years, and there are many that do not meet the selection criteria. Therefore, more scientific and objective selection criteria and methods should be constructed for the selection of species suitable for the purpose of the Wildlife protected by City/Do.

Ecological networks can be generally classified into core areas, buffer zones, and corridors. Particularly, buffer zones connect core areas or ecological corridors, and preserve ecological network by reducing the impact from outside. We examined related laws and researches about buffer zone establishment associated with the resources of high ecological and conservation value to find out more researches are needed. In this study, we investigated various examples of the criteria for establishing buffer zones at domestic and overseas. Based on the results of railway environmental impact assessment and railway construction guidelines, we analyzed the application methods applicable to the railway development area and proposed the criteria to evaluate land cover status, species diversity, rarity, and connectivity. Through this study, the environmental and ecological value around the development area of the railroad was examined to reduce the environmental damage from railroad construction.

최근, 유역 환경을 포함한 수문시스템을 보다 근본적으로 이해하기 위하여 순환적 인과관계를 가진 인간과 물환경시스템의 전체론적 이해의 필요성이 제기되었다. 더불어, 지속 가능한 유역관리를 위해서는 현재의 물환경시스템의 상태를 진단하고, 수자원 정책 및 유역관리 방안과 환경 변화에 따른 물환경시스템의 건강성을 평가하는 방법이 필요하다. 대상 시스템의 지속가능성을 평가하기 위하여 회복탄력성(Resilience) 개념이 도입됨에 따라 본 연구에서는 생태계서비스 개념을 활용하여 사회수문학적 회복탄력성을 정의하고 유역 시스템의 상태를 진단하고자 한다. 또한, 관측 기상 자료를 이용하여 기후변화가 사회수문학적 회복탄력성에 미치는 영향을 평가해보고자 한다. 이를 위해 기존의 하천 생태계서비스 지표 후보군을 수정 및 보완하여 새로운 지표군을 제시하였고, 경안천 유역을 대상으로 실제 유역의 상태를 평가할 수 있는 도구로서 해당 지표군을 적용하였다.

최근 하천에서 홍수방지를 위한 제방과 댐 같은 구조물이 지속적으로 건설되고 있으며 이러한 구조물의 설치는 자연적인 하천의 발달과정을 느리게 하고 어류의 서식처를 감소시킨다. 특히 주기적인 홍수 및 홍수터를 필요로 하는 어류는 유량의 규제 및 홍수터의 감소로 심각한 영향을 받게 되었고, 많은 종류의 어류가 환경 및 생태계의 변화로 멸종했다. 따라서 수중생태계에서 어류의 서식환경을 보호하고 유지하기 위해서는 공간확대를 통한 적절한 서식처가 보장되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 공간복원 시나리오에 따른 수환경 변화가 어류 물리서식처에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해 2차원 물리서식처 모형인 River2D를 적용하였다. 만경강 유역의 봉동, 소양, 하리 3개의 지점을 경계지점으로 하여 대상영역 내 저지대 상습 침수구역인 만경강 본류와 소양천 합류지점을 복원대상지로 선정 후, 현재하도와 세가지 복원 시나리오(제방 셋백, 구하도, 배후습지)를 적용하여 분석을 실시하였다. 이 분석에서 모니터링 된 과거 흐름과 세가지 물리적 복원 시나리오 뿐만 아니라 필요한 유량조건의 범위에 있는 목표종 성장단계는 홍수터 서식지 이점에 영향을 미친다. 분석결과 홍수터 지역의 물리적 복원을 통해 대상어종의 생태계 복원 전의 부정적인 영향을 줄일 수 있었고 특히 WUA 분석에 따르면 세가지 복원 시나리오 적용시 복원전보다 서식처 개선효과가 크게 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 구하도 복원의 경우 WUA 값은 산란기에 20.0%, 성장기에 39.5%로 가장 큰 효과를 나타냈고, 그 결과와는 다르게 배후습지 복원의 경우 성어기에 85.3%로 가장 크게 나타났다. 또한 동일한 흐름에서 홍수터의 확보 및 복원을 통해 최소유량에서 최대서식처 개선효과를 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다. 최종적으로 복원이 성공적으로 이루어지기 위해서는 복원계획에서 대상어종의 성장단계와 복원 시나리오를 고려해야 하고 정확하게 검토해야 하며, 생태학적 특성도 면밀히 조사되어야 할 것으로 사료된다. 또한 앞서 분석된 데이터는 최적의 하천 복원 유형을 판단하기 위한 기초자료 및 판단근거로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

To investigate the variations of environmental and microbial populations in six stations at water region of Gangjin Bay, nutritive salts, water temperature, COD, DO, pH, heterotrophic bacteria, fungi and facal coliform bacteria were analysed four imes from February to November, 1998. These data were subjected to simple statistics, correlation analysis and principal factor analysis. Ecosystem of Gangiin Bay was regulated by 2∼4 factors during four seasons. We estimated that it was mainly influenced by inflow of fresh water, nutrient salts, suspended solids, salinity and variation of water temperature. These results suggested that influences of environmental factor of Gangiin Bay was relatively less than those of other bays.

Forest destruction is an inevitable result of the development processes. According to the environmental impact assessment, over 10% of the destroyed trees need to be recycled and transplanted to minimize the impact of forest destruction. However, the rate of successful transplantation is low, leading to a high rate of tree death. This is attributable to a lack of consideration for environmental factors when choosing a temporary site for transplantation and inadequate management. To monitor transplanted trees, a field survey is essential; however, the spatio-temporal aspect is limited. This study evaluated the applicability of remote sensing for the effective monitoring of transplanted trees. Vegetation indices based on satellite remote sensing were derived to detect time-series changes in the status of the transplanted trees at three temporary transplantation sites. The mortality rate and vitality of transplanted trees before and after the transplant have a similar tendency to the changes in the vegetation indicators. The findings of this study showed that vegetation indices increased after transplantation of trees and decreased as the death rate increased and vitality decreased over time. This study presents a method for assessing newly transplanted trees using satellite images. The approach of utilizing satellite photos and the vegetation index is expected to detect changes in trees that have been transplanted across the country and help to manage tree transplantation for the environmental impact assessment.

The purpose of this study was to investigate effects of reusable organic wastes, on soil organisms and chemical properties. Bone meal, de-oiled cake, and oyster shell were applied and abundances of soil organisms were measured at 3 and 15 months, after treatment in soil under sawleaf zelkova cultivation. Soil organisms are affected, by the quality of applied organic wastes. Abundance of microorganisms was higher in oyster shell treated soils than in untreated soils, suggesting that soil pH is a driving force, altering abundance and structure of the microbial community. Increase in abundance of bacterivorous nematodes was observed under treatment with bone meal and de-oiled cake, but there was slight change in abundance of fungivorous and herbivorous nematodes. Abundance of herbivorous nematode was positively correlated with plant growth, at 15 months after treatment. Response of microarthropods in the Collembola and Oribatida was not apparent. Abundances of primary consumers were not significantly correlated with microorganisms. This study suggested that organic waste influences soil organisms primarily by altering soil chemical properties and bottom-up effects may not occur in trophic reactions.

The current growth of nano-industries has resulted in released nanoparticles entering into water and soil ecosystems via various direct or indirect routes. Physicochemical properties of nanoparticles differ from bulk materials, and nanomaterials influence the fates of nanoparticles and the interactions of living or non-living things in the environment. Microcosm analysis is a research methodology for revealing natural phenomena by mimicking part of an ecosystem under controlled conditions. Microcosm study allows for the integrated analysis of toxic effects and fates of nanoparticles in the ecosystem. Ecotoxicity studies of nanomaterials are steadily increasing, and microcosm studies of nanomaterials are currently beginning to surface. In this study, microcosm studies of nanomaterials in water and soil ecosystems were extensively investigated based on SCI(E) papers. We found that the microcosm studies have been reported in 12 instances, and mesocosm studies have been reported in only once until now. Advanced research was mostly evaluated at the microorganism level. But integrated analysis of nanotoxicity is required to research the interactions based of various species. Thus, our studies analysed the trend of microcosm studies on nanomaterials in water and soil ecosystems and suggested future directions of microcosm research of nanomaterials.
