Based on 3-period land use data using RS and GIS, this paper analyzed landuse change and subsequent loss of ecosystem service value, using the ecosystem service value coefficients put forward by Costanza. Results show that from 1917 to 2006, area of crop land, plantation, building site, unused land increased and natural forest, grassland, water area, wetland decreased, in Musan region and Hoeryeung region. But the area of natural forest is acute reduced by 7,925.34ha and the amplitude of building site is increased rapidly in Musan region. The area of grass land is acute reduced by 71,594.34ha and the amplitude of unused land is increased rapidly in Hoeryeung region. Total ecosystem services value of Musan region reduced dramatically, from $66,135.26{\times}10^6$ won to $37,894.51{\times}10^6$ won in period 1917~2006. The net decreased ecosystem services value is $28,240.75{\times}10^6$ won and the increased amplitude is 42.71% in Musan region. Total ecosystem services value of Hoeryeung region reduced dramatically, from $145,862.69{\times}10^6$ won to $106,948.44{\times}10^6$ won in period 1917~2006. The net decreased ecosystem services value is $38,914.25{\times}10^6$ won and the increased amplitude is 26.68% in Hoeryeung region. Therefore, the effective measures should be taken to maintain sustainable development of environment.

This study analyses the soil loss due to cropland increase in the Hoeryeung area of northeast Korea, using Landsat images of 1987 TM and 2001 ETM, together with DTED, soil and geological maps, and rainfall data of 20 years. Items of land cover and land use were categorized as cropland, settlement, forest, river zone, and sand deposit by supervised classification with spectral bands 1, 2 and 3. RUSLE model is used for estimation of soil loss, and AML language for calculation of soil loss volumes. Fourier transformation method is used for unification of the geographical grids between Landsat images and DTED. GTD was selected from 1:50,000 topographic map. Main sources of soil losses over 100 ton/year may be the river zone and settlement in the both times of 1987 and 2001, but the image of the 2001 shows that sources areas have developed up to the higher mountain slopes. In the cropland average, increases of hight and gradient are 24m and $0.8^{\circ}$ from 1987 to 2001. In the case of new developed cropland, average increases are 75m and $2.5^{\circ}$, and highest soil loss has occurred at the elevation between 300 and 500m. The soil loss 57 ton of 1987 year increased 85 ton of 2001 year. Soil loss is highest in $30{\sim}50^{\circ}$ slope zones in both years, but in 2001 year, soil loss increased under $30^{\circ}$ zones. The size of area over 200 ton/year, indicating higher risk of landslides, have increased from $28.6km^2$ of 1987 year to $48.8km^2$ of 2001 year.

본 연구에서는 고해상도 위성영상을 이용하여 지난 8월 29일 북한 함경북도 지역에서 발생한 홍수에 의한 피해를 분석하였다. 북한은 접근이 불가능한 지리적 특성을 가지기 때문에 인공위성을 활용한 모니터링이 유일한 관측 수단이라고 할 수 있다. 북한측 발표내용에 의하면 이번 홍수로 인해 사망 130여명, 실종 400여명, 시설물 8,670동 등 대규모 피해가 발생하였으며, 이재민은 7만명이 넘는 것으로 나타났다. 위성영상을 이용하여 모든 피해지역을 파악하는 것은 한계가 있지만, 일부 지역의 피해분석을 통해 피해규모를 간접적으로 확인하는 것은 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 5m급 고해상도 위성영상인 플래닛스코프(PlanetScope), 래피드아이(RapidEye) 영상을 이용하여 회령, 송학, 남양, 종성 4개 지역의 홍수피해 전, 직후, 한 달 후의 변화를 분석하였다. 분석결과, 해당지역은 시설물 및 농경지 침수, 제방붕괴 등이 발생하였으며, 홍수로 인한 지형변화가 동반되었음이 확인되었다.
