Problems in regard of ecological stability of urban ecosystem ensue from climate change and urbanization. Particularly, urban ecological conditions are deteriorating both quantitatively and qualitatively to a great extent. The present study aims to assess the current condition of selected sites (i. e. urban green zones and parks) in terms of preset assessment components; to find out problems and relevant solutions to improve the quality and quantity of parks and green zones; and ultimately to suggest some measures applicable to coping with climate change as well as to securing the ecological attributes of urban green zones and parks. According to the findings of this study, from quantitative perspectives, ecological attributes and responsiveness to climate change are high on account of the large natural-soil area(80%). By contrast, from qualitative perspectives including the planting structure (1 layer: 47%), the percentage of bush area(17%), the connectivity with surrounding green zones (independent types: 44%), the wind paths considered (5.6%), the tree species with high carbon absorption rates (20%), water cycles (17%), energy (8%) and carbon storage capacities(61%), ecological attributes and responsiveness to climate change were found very low. These findings suggest that the ecological values of urban parks and green zones should be improved in the future by conserving their original forms, securing natural-soil grounds and employing multi-layered planting structures and water bodies, and that responsiveness to climate change should be enhanced by planting tree species with high carbon storage capacities and obtaining detention ponds. In sum, robust efforts should be exerted in the initial planning stages, and sustained, to apply the methodology of green-zone development along with securing ecological attributes and responsiveness to climate change.

본 연구는 1980년부터 2015년까지 논 농업기후지대에 대한 연 기준 증발산량(annual reference evapotranspiration, ET₀)을 추정하고 분석하였다. 기상청에서 수집한 61개 지점의 기상자료에 Penman-Monteith 방법을 적용하여 일별 기준 증발산량을 계산하였다. 1980년부터 2015년 동안의 연 기준 증발산량은 평균 1334.1±33.89 mm 이였으며, 해안 지대에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 기준 증발산량은 전체 지대에 대해서 약 2.81 mm/yr의 추세로 증가하였다. 하지만 변화율은 농업기후지대별로 다르게 나타났다. 특히 중부지대와 동부 해안 지대에서 연 기준 증발산량은 가장 크게 증가하였다. 상관계수 분석에 의하면, 연 기준 증발산량의 연 변화는 네가지 기후 요소(평균, 최저기온, 일조시간, 상대습도)와 가장 크게 연관이 있었다. 이 연구는 36년 동안 전체 한국 농업지대에서 연 기준증발산량의 변화를 겪고 있다는 것을 보여주고 있다. 온난화와 관련된 장기간의 연기준 온도의 변화와 공간적 패턴을 이해하는 것은 각 농업기후지대별 수자원 및 작물 관리를 효율적으로 할 수 있도록 도와줄 것으로 생각된다.

Watershed area can be submerged due to constructions and management of dams, and these change can impact not only on ecosystem and environment of river basin area but also on local climate. This study is conducted to construct and classify climate zones of Andong Dam watershed where the area is submerged due to the construction of the dam. By applying Principal Components Analysis (PCA) and Getis-Ord $Gi^*$ statistics, three climate zones were classified for the result. Each zone was then analyzed and validated with climatic and geological features including topography, land cover, and forest type map. As a result of the analysis, there was a difference in temperature, elevation, precipitation and tree species distribution among the zones. Also, an analysis of land cover map showed that there were more agricultural land near Andong Reservoir. This study on the climatic classification is considered to be useful as the basis for decision-making or policy enforcement regarding ecosystem, environmental management or climate change response.

In this paper South Africa is divided into strong wind climate zones, which indicate the main sources of annual maximum wind gusts. By the analysis of wind gust data of 94 weather stations, which had continuous climate time series of 10 years or longer, six sources, or strong-wind producing mechanisms, could be identified and zoned accordingly. The two primary causes of strong wind gusts are thunderstorm activity and extratropical low pressure systems, which are associated with the passage of cold fronts over the southern African subcontinent. Over the eastern and central interior of South Africa annual maximum wind gusts are usually caused by thunderstorm gust fronts during summer, while in the western and southern interior extratropical cyclones play the most dominant role. Along the coast and adjacent interior annual extreme gusts are usually caused by extratropical cyclones. Four secondary sources of strong winds are the ridging of the quasi-stationary Atlantic and Indian Ocean high pressure systems over the subcontinent, surface troughs to the west in the interior with strong ridging from the east, convergence from the interior towards isolated low pressure systems or deep coastal low pressure systems, and deep surface troughs on the West Coast.

High rise office buildings represent one of the most energy-intensive architectural typologies. The growth of urban population necessitates sustainable high rise towers that lessen environmental impacts and energy consumption. Among various sustainable strategies, the integrated design is long known to be an important process that has great impact on building's sustainability. The framework for this paper is based on the case study of integrated towers that are located in different climate zones. The paper specifically addresses to what extent climate conditions influence the design of a high rise building and what kinds of the climate integrated design has been implemented. Qualitative case studies were carried out using published data and architectural drawing set. The technical work presented in the paper is based on computer simulation that examines the insolation analysis using hourly recorded weather data. The analysis results revealed that the site and building envelope integration and the site and building service systems have shown the most frequently employed in the integrated towers through the implementation of renewable resource integration, high performance envelopes and sustainable building service systems. Internal comfort and further energy saving in the integrated towers are offered through an automatic building management system. Due to the dynamic climate conditions, integration of building systems requires a sophisticated approach to building sustainability.

Climate change will affect not only the crop productivity but also the pattern of rice disease epidemics in Korea. Impact assessments for the climate change are conducted using various climate change scenarios from many global climate models (GCM), such as a scenario from a best GCM or scenarios from multiple GCMs, or a combination of both. Here, we evaluated the feasibility of using a climate change scenario from the best GCM for the impact assessment on the potential epidemics of a rice leaf blast disease in Korea, in comparison to a multi?model ensemble (MME) scenario from multiple GCMs. For this, this study involves analyses of disease simulation using an epidemiological model, EPIRICE?LB, which was validated for Korean rice paddy fields. We then assessed likely changes in disease epidemics using the best GCM selected for individual agro?climatic zones and MME scenarios constructed by running 11 GCMs. As a result, the simulated incidence of leaf blast epidemics gradually decreased over the future periods both from the best GCM and MME. The results from this study emphasized that the best GCM selection approach resulted in comparable performance to the MME approach for the climate change impact assessment on rice leaf blast epidemic in Korea.

In this study, we analyzed the extreme rainfall distribution scenarios based on probable rainfall calculation and applying various time distribution models over the landslide high risk zones in urban areas. We used observed rainfall data form total 71 ASOS (Automated Synoptic Observing System) station and AWS (Automatic Weather Station) in KMA (Korea Meteorological Administration), and we analyzed the linear trends for 1-hr and 24-hr annual maximum rainfall series using simple linear regression method, which are identified their increasing trends with slopes of 0.035 and 0.660 during 1961-2014, respectively. The Gumbel distribution was applied to obtain the return period and probability precipitation for each duration. The IDF (Intensity-Duration-Frequency) curves for landslide high risk zones were derived by applying integrated probability precipitation intensity equation. Results from IDF analysis indicate that the probability precipitation varies from 31.4~38.3 % for 1 hr duration, and 33.0~47.9 % for 24 hr duration. It also showed different results for each area. The $Huff-4^{th}$ Quartile method as well as Mononobe distribution were selected as the rainfall distribution scenarios of landslide high risk zones. The results of this study can be used to provide boundary conditions for slope collapse analysis, to analyze sediment disaster risk, and to use as input data for risk prediction of debris flow.

기후변화에 대응하여 보다 적극적인 생물보전전략 수립을 위해 생물 서식환경의 변화예측이 필요하며, 생물기후권역은 유용한 생태계 관리체계를 제공할 수 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 생물기후권역구축을 통해 동북아시아의 생물 서식환경을 파악하고, 생물 서식관점에서 기후변화의 영향을 분석하였다. Worldclim에서 제공하는 현재(1970~2000년) 기후자료 및 17개 전 지구 기후모형의 예측자료(RCP4.5, RCP8.5)를 이용하여 2050년대와 2070년대의 변화를 모의하였다. 먼저 현재와 미래의 주요생물기후변수(Aridity index, growing degree days, potential evapotranspiration seasonality, temperature seasonality)를 구축하여 동북아시아의 생물기후환경 특성을 파악하고, 기후변화에 따른 시공간적 변화를 분석하였다. ISODATA 군집분석으로 현재의 생물기후권역을 구분하고, MLC(Maximum Likelihood Classification)를 통해 미래의 권역변화를 예측하였다. 기후변화에 따라 대부분의 권역이 북상하는 경향성을 확인할 수 있었으며, 권역의 면적과 위도 분포변화를 분석함으로써 권역의 축소가 가장 두드러지게 나타나는 중국 남부에 위치한 권역을 집중 관리권역으로 제시하였다. 본 연구는 한반도를 포함한 동북아시아 지역의 다양한 기후변화 시나리오에 따른 영향평가를 바탕으로 향후 기후변화에 대응한 생물종 혹은 생태계 관련 적응정책 수립 시 활용 가능한 기초자료를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

이 연구는 PRIDE 모델에 기반하여 산출된 $1km{\times}1km$ 공간 해상도의 RCP 4.5와 RCP 8.5 상세 기후변화 시나리오와 수정된 쾨펜-트레와다의 기후구분 기준을 이용하여 우리나라의 아열대 기후대와 극한기온지수의 변화와 전망을 분석하였다. 현재 일부 남부 해안에서 나타나는 아열대 기후대는 미래로 갈수록 서해안 및 동해안을 따라 북쪽으로 확장하며, 대도시 지역에서 나타날 것으로 전망되었다. 극한기온지수의 경우 미래로 갈수록 RCP 4.5와 RCP 8.5 두 시나리오 모두 우리나라 모든 곳에서 추위와 관련한 지수의 빈도는 감소하며, 더위와 관련된 지수의 빈도는 증가할 것으로 예측되었다. 특히 RCP 8.5 시나리오의 경우 2071~2100년에는 해발고도가 높은 일부 산지를 제외한 우리나라의 대부분 지역에서 일최고기온 $33^{\circ}C$ 이상의 폭염이 30일 이상 발생할 것으로 전망되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 강화된 기후변화 대응 프로세스 구축에 중요한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
