The loss of connectivity and fragmentation of forest landscapes are seriously hindering dispersal of many forest-dwelling species, which may be critical for their viability and conservation by decreasing habitat area and increasing distance among habitats. For understanding their environmental impacts, numerous spatial models exist to measure landscape connectivity. However, general relationships between functional connectivity and landscape structure are lacking, there is a need to develop landscape metrics that more accurately measure landscape connectivity in whole landscape and individual patches. We reviewed functional and structural definition of landscape connectivity, explained their mathematical connotations, and applied representative 13 indices in 3 districts of Seoul having fragmented forest patches with tits, the threshold distance was applied 500m by considering the dispersal of tits. Results of correlation and principal component analysis showed that connectivity indices could be divided by measurement methods whether they contain the area attribute with distance or not. Betweenness centrality(BC), a representative index measuring distance and distribution among patches, appreciated highly stepping stone forest patches, and difference of probability of connectivity(dPC), an index measuring including area information, estimated integrated connectivity of patches. Therefore, for evaluating landscape connectivity, it is need to consider not only general information of a region and species' characteristics but also various measuring methods of landscape connectivity.

대부분의 우리나라의 하천은 제방 축조에 의하여 수로와 홍수터 사이의 횡적연결성이 훼손되어 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 GIS를 이용하여 하천 횡적연결성을 간편하게 원격으로 평가하는 기법을 개발하고 중부지방의 대표적인 하천인 청미천에 적용하여 평가법의 효용성을 평가하는데 있다. 원격평가법의 평가항목은 제내지 서식지 환경 항목으로서 (1) 습지 유지 여부와 (2) 토지이용 특성을 연결성 항목으로서 (3) 제방 차단 여부, (4) 하천과의 연결성 및 (5) 육상 자연서식지와의 연결성으로 구성하였다. 개발된 평가법을 청미천에 시범 적용한 결과에 따르면 청미천의 제내지 옛홍수터는 제방 축조와 토지이용 변화로 횡적연결성이 크게 저하되어 있었다. 또한 GIS 원격 평가법에 의하여 청미천 옛홍수터의 횡적 연결성이 다양한 수준인 것으로 평가되었다. 연구에서 개발된 횡적연결성 원격 평가법은 앞으로 하천의 횡적연결성을 복원하는 다양한 시도에서 현재 연결성의 제한 요인을 파악하는데 유용한 도구로서 이용될 것으로 생각된다.

Connectivity is a quantitative indicator of landscape structure, and connectivity of urban green areas is an indicator of ecological integrity in urban landscapes. The purposes of this study are to assess the connectivity of urban green areas in Seoul, and to develop a method of siting new green areas for better connectivity. Diverse methods for connectivity assessment and indices of connectivity are reviewed and applied to the connectivity assesment of green areas in Seoul. The indices of connectivity of green areas in Seoul turned out to be higher than expected, maybe because many of them are rather evenly distributed, serving as stepping stones, and because there are many riparian corridors, including the Han River. Analysis also shows the optimum location of new green space patches or corridors will be those spots that would link the mainland, or large green areas outside the city, and existing green areas in the city. Restoration of urban streams as ecological corridors will significantly enhance connectivity. Three different scenarios with increasing numbers of new green areas in the city were then prepared. The changes of connectivity were measured and the possible success rates of animal dispersal were simulated. The results revealed that restoration of streams will increase the connectivity and success rates of animal dispersal.

Urban Green Area has ecologically deteriorated along with quantitative loss, being developed as a dot itself rather than connected to forests and green networks around the park. The present study aims to propose a connected plan on Urban Ecological Network establishment through 'assessment of the connectivity of the entire urban parks' in accordance with distance of forest and river and 'assessment of trends in connection fragmentation of urban parks' in accordance with the past change of forest and river. According to the result of this study, criteria based on previous research was "directly linked type is less than 300m, conceptually linked type is between 300m to 1km, the isolated type is greater than 1km". And the result of 'assessment of the connectivity of the entire urban parks' is analyzed as the rate of park and green network, 41.7% in Suwon, 80.0% in Seongnam, 88.9% in Namyangju on the basis of office and field investigation. Also, according to the result of 'assessment of trends in connection fragmentation of urban parks', consideration for connection to the original forest is insufficient.

Species distribution modeling is one of the most effective habitat analysis methods for wildlife conservation. This study was for evaluating the suitability of species distribution to distance between forest patches in Seoul city using tits. We analyzed the distribution of the four species of tits: varied tit (Parus varius), marsh tit (P. palustris), great tit (P. major) and coal tit (P. ater), using the landscape indexes and connectivity indexes, and compared the resulting suitability indexes from 100m to 1,000m. As factors affecting to the distribution of tits, we calculated landscape indices by separating them into intra-patch indices (i.e. logged patch area (PA), area-weighted mean patch shape index (PSI), tree rate (TR)) and inter-patch indices (i.e. patch degree (PD), patch betweenness (PB), difference probability of connectivity (DPC)), to analyze the internal properties of the patches and their connectivity by tits occurrence data using logistic regression modeling. The models were evaluated by AICc (Akaike Information Criteria with a correction for finite sample sizes) and AUC (Area Under Curve of ROC). The results of AICc and AUC showed DPC, PA, PSI, and TR were important factors of the habitat models for great tit and marsh tit at the level of distance 500~800m. In contrast, habitat models for coal tit and varied tit, which are known as forest interior species, reflected PA, PSI, and TR as intra-patch indices rather than connectivity. These mean that coal tit and varied tit are more likely to find a large circular forest patch than a small and long-shaped forest patch, which are higher rate of forest. Therefore, different strategies are required in order to enhance the habitats of the forest birds, tits, in a region that has fragmented forest patches such as Seoul city. It is important to manage forest interior areas for coal tit and varied tit, which are known as forest interior species and to manage not only forest interior areas but also connectivity of the forest patches in the threshold distance for great tit and marsh tit as adapted species to the urban ecosystem for sustainable ecosystem management.

생물의 국지적 멸종을 방지하고 생물 다양성을 보전하기 위해서는 서식처 간 연결성을 확보하는 것이 중요하다. 서식처가 다양한 교란요인에 노출되더라도 다른 서식처와 연결되어 있으면 종이 교란에 회피하거나 대응하는 것이 가능하기 때문이다. 서식처 연결성은 다양한 관점에서 평가될 수 있으나 최근 컴퓨터 연산능력과 관련 소프트웨어의 발달로 인해 종의 움직임에 기초하는 기능적 연결성의 중요성이 강조되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 각종 개발사업으로 서식처 파편화가 발생하는 수원시를 대상으로, 종의 이동량을 연결되는 모든 격자에 맵핑할 수 있는 써킷스케이프(circuitscape)를 적용하여 연결성을 평가하였다. 또한, 이에 기초하여 종의 이동이 상대적으로 집중되는 지역을 수원시에서 우선 보전해야 할 생태축으로 제안하고, 2018년도 토지피복과 식생활력도(NDVI)와 비교함으로써 관리의 필요성을 제시하였다. 본 연구결과는 기존에 개념도의 형태로만 제공되었던 생태축 부문을 효과적으로 보완하고, 실제 개발사업 관리 및 도시계획에서의 실효성을 확보할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Objective: In this study, we used resting-state fMRI data to map differences in functional connectivity between a comprehensive set of 8 distinct cortical and subcortical brain regions in healthy controls and Internet addicts. We also investigated the relationship between resting state connectivity strength and the level of psychopathology (ex. score of internet addiction scale and score of Barratt impulsiveness scale). Background: There is a lot of evidence of relationship between Internet addiction and impaired inhibitory control. Clinical evidence suggests that Internet addicts have a high level of impulsivity as measured by behavioral task of response inhibition and a self report questionnaire. Method: 15 Internet addicts and 15 demographically similar non-addicts participated in the current resting-state fMRI experiment. For the connectivity analysis, regions of interests (ROIs) were defined based on the previous studies of addictions. Functional connectivity assessment for each subject was obtained by correlating time-series across the ROIs, resulting in $8{\times}8$ matrixs for each subject. Within-group, functional connectivity patterns were observed by entering the z maps of the ROIs of each subject into second-level one sample t test. Two sample t test was also performed to examine between group differences. Results: Between group, the analysis revealed that the connectivity in between the orbito frontal cortex and inferior parietal cortex, between orbito frontal cortex and putamen, between the orbito frontal cortex and anterior cingulate cortex, between the insula and anterior cingulate cortex, and between amydgala and insula was significantly stronger in control group than in the Internet addicts, while the connectivity in between the orbito frontal cortex and insula showed stronger negative correlation in the Internet addicts relative to control group (p < 0.001, uncorrected). No significant relationship between functional connectivity strength and current degree of Internet addiction and degree of impulsitivy was seen. Conclusion: This study found that Internet addicts had declined connectivity strength in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) and other regions (e.g., ACC, IPC, and insula) during resting-state. It may reflect deficits in the OFC function to process information from different area in the corticostriatal reward network. Application: The results might help to develop theoretical modeling of Internet addiction for Internet addiction discrimination.

개발 과정에서 발생하는 생태공간의 단절과 파편화는 생물다양성의 위협 요소이다. 특히 개발 압력이 높은 도심은 생태공간이 부족하여 연결성이 매우 낮을 것이다. 이러한 문제는 대도시에서 더욱 두드러지게 나타나는 경향이 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 개별 사업이나 도시관리 수준에서 생태적 연결성 현황을 파악하고 개선하는 지속적인 노력이 필요하다. 그러나 대도시의 생태적 연결성 현황 파악과 개선에 대한 논의가 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 우리나라 대도시 서울, 부산, 대구, 인천, 광주, 대전, 울산의 도심이 가진 생태적 연결성을 평가하였다. 평가 결과 도심은 외곽이나 도시 전체와 비교해 연결성이 낮았다. 그리고 종분포모델 등 지역 특성을 반영하여 대전을 대상으로 수행한 생태적 연결망을 분석하여 1ha 이상 산림을 이어주는 최적 경로 510개를 도출하였다. 본 연구는 도시의 생태적 연결성 개선 목표 제시에 필요한 정량적 수치와 생물다양성을 포함한 지역 특성에 따른 연결망을 도출한 사례로서 의미가 있다. 환경영향평가나 도시관리에서 생태적 연결성을 개선하는 방향을 제시하고 평가 체계를 구축하는 데 결과를 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study was established to build and suggest the Ecological Performance Standards for replaced wetlands as the mitigation strategies for the construction projects. The request performance and assessment factors and standards were derived by bibliographic review and verified by the field survey for the reference wetlands. And the weights for each factor were derived by AHP(Analytical Hierarchy Process) method. The results are as follows : 1) Assessment factors were induced by in-depth research of many wetland assessment models and benchmarks evaluated ecological functions. This study proposed final 12 assessment factors through ecological specialist and experts interviews added with literature analysis. 2) 10 natural wetlands were selected as Reference Wetlands as the measure to propose assessment factors and assessment criteria. Those reference wetlands are well-conserved inland natural wetlands classified to the one having worthy to conserve (grade "high") according to RAM(Rapid Assessment Method). Reference wetlands chosen by the study are Parksilji, Jeongyangji, Mulkubi, Bawineupkubi, Jilnalneup, Jinchonneup, Doomoso, Haepyung wetland, Whangjeong wetland, and Whapo wetland. The research developed assessment criteria for the performance assessment factors based on several explorations of the reference wetlands. 3) "Requiring performance" of replaced wetlands is defined as "to carry out similar or same ecological functions provided by natural wetlands", in overall. The detailed requiring performances are as follows; ${\bullet}$ to play a role of wildlife habitats ${\bullet}$ to have biological diversity ${\bullet}$ to connect with other ecosystems ${\bullet}$ to provide water environment to perform good ecological functions 4) The assessment factors for required performance are categorized by wildlife habitat function, biological diversity, connectivity of adjacent ecosystem, and water environment. Wildlife habitat category is consisted of wildlife habitat creation, size of replacement wetland, and site suitability. Biological diversity category contains the number of plant species, the number of wildlife species, and number of protected species as the sub-factors. Connectivity of adjacent ecosystem is comprised of wildlife corridor, green network and distance from other ecosystem. Finally, water environment make up with water quality, depth of water body, and shape of waterfront. 5) Finally, every assessment factors were verified and weighted by the AHP methods and the final standards were proposed. The weights of factors of requiring performance suggested as habitat (0.280), connectivity (0.261), diversity (0.260), hydraulic environment (0.199). And those of detailed sub-factors are site suitability (0.118), protected species (0.096), distance to neighbor ecosystem (0.093), habitat creating (0.091), green corridor (0.090) etc.
