  • The constant evolution of society, culture and scientific technology, coupled with changes in life style and behavioral patterns, has led mankind to peroeive diverse needs for space. Particularly, the rapid structural change in the field of marketing has entailed changes in techinques for construction and presentation of space for an improved marketing environment. To satisfy such new, diverse needs for space, interior designers will have to redefine the "mankind and environmen( concept and examine their design methodology anew. The question of how to design available space for a certain purpose will remain a daunting task for designers in the future, as it has been in the past. In the pursuit of convenience and conformity to mankind's surroundings, every nation has, in common with other nations, basic design elements, design skills and other factors. In designing camercial space in a particular region, it is essential, however, to have a proper understanding of the social economic and cultural context indigenous to that region, as well as the impact on environmental and ecological change and marketing strategy. This study discusses design metholdology for the comming camercial space on the basis of the space concept and current status in Korea, with major emphasis on Korea's regional characteristics.

  • Both Cobitis lutheri Rendahl and C.striata Ikeda previously regarded as the subspecies of C.taenia are revised here and raised to the species rank based on the distinct color pattern on their body sides in relation to the shpae of lamina circularis and suborbital spine, and distinct distributional patter. C. lutheri was similar to C. striata in chromosome number and karyotype, but chromosomal polymorphism as Robert sonian event was confirmed only in the population of C.lutheri studies. Both, C. kutheri and C..striata have disjunct ranges : the former in western Korea and east-northern China Mainland, the latter in the Smjin River of korea and west-southern Japan. hybridization between C. lutheri and C. striata by secondary contact appeared in the limited zone of the Dongjin River, Chllabuk-do province, korea, but the evidence for habitat segregation between them suggests the possibility that natural hybridization occurs between the two species and introgression results. We consider that the two species were produced as ecological equivalent species in the different branch stream of the Paleo-Hwangho River , The time of recession of sea level during the gracial period.

  • Aphelenchoides nonveilleri $Andr{\acute{a}}ssy$, 1959, belonging to the family Aphelenchoididae Skarbilovich, 1947, is first reported from South Korea. The genus Aphelenchoides Fischer, 1894 includes about 200 species worldwide, but to date only nine Aphelnechoides species have been reported from South Korea. Specimens of A. nonveilleri were collected from the roots and shoot tips of chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat, 1792) from a greenhouse. This species is distinguished from other Aphelenchoides species by its star-shaped mucro on the female tail tip, three lateral incisures, and the length of the post-vulvar uterine sac. Here we provide details of the morphological characters and morpometrics of A. nonveilleri based on optical microscopy.

  • Whiteflies harbor several secondary endosymbionts, which are maternally inherited from mother to offspring, that have major effects on host preferences, biology, and evolution. Here, we identified Wolbachia bacteria in sweetpotato whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) as well as whitefly popluations from other countries by comparison of 16S rDNA sequences. Wolbachia were detected in all tested indigenous B. tabaci populations (Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal, and the Philippines) as well as Q1 biotype of Korea, whereas they were absent from B biotype of Korea and Q biotype of China. Wolbachia were also detected in all five tested Aleurodicus dispersus populations as well as Tetraleurodes acaciae, whereas they were not detected in all seven Trialeurodes vaporariorum populatuions. In addiiton, Wolbachia were detected in parasitic wasp (Encarsia formosa) of B. tabaci as well as honeybee (Apis mellifera). Among the 19 whitefly populations from different countries, our analysis identified four phylogenetic groups of Wolbachia, thereby demonstrating the high diversity of this genus. Wolbachia phylogeny suggests a correlation of geographical range with ecological variation at the species level.

  • The bamboo katydid, Palaeoagraecia lutea (Matsumura et Shiraki, 1908) is newly reported in South Korea. Previously, the species was only known in Japan, but currently its occurrence is confirmed in the far southern locality of Hampyeong, Jeollanam-do province of Korean Peninsula. This katydid was collected using a light trap and sound tracing in the bamboo forest. It is regarded as a rare stenotopic species. The features of male Palaeoagraecia lutea are illustrated and discussed in terms of song characteristics, and a key is provided for the genus Palaeoagraecia. A new synonym is proposed: P. philippina (Karny, 1926)=P. globicerata (Vickery et Kevan, 1999) syn. nov.

  • This study reports the pagurid hermit crab Porcellanopagurus japonicus in Korean waters for the first time. This species has a right cheliped larger than the left one, reduced and globular abdomen, and symmetrical uropods. Porcellanopagurus japonicus is similar to P. nihonkaiensis, a previously reported congeneric species in Korea, but also has distinguished morphological and ecological characters. There are currently issues with the Korean scientific name for P. japonicus, we suggest a reasonable Korean scientific name of this organism with its etymology. In addition, this species inhabits bivalve shells, which is not a typical habitat for hermit crabs, and the unique habitats of this and several other Korean hermit crabs are reviewed.

  • An aegid species, Rocinela niponia Richardson, 1909, is a Far Eastern species known from Korean and Japanese waters. In this study, mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences of R. niponia were determined based on four specimens collected from the subtidal zone of Chujado Island, South Korea. We compared DNA barcoding data of this species with its congeners. As a result, there was no intra-specific genetic distance between the four COI sequences of R. niponia. Inter-specific distances between R. niponia and other five aegid species ranged from 23.8% to 35.6%. Morphological diagnosis and images of R. niponia are also provided as a valuable contribution toward the identification of Rocinela species in further taxonomic and ecological studies.

  • A rare genus Leptodromiella Tuomikoski, 1936, which belongs to the subfamily Ocydromiinae in the family Hybotidae contains only one recorded speices, L. crassiseta (Tuomikoski, 1932). Until now, there is still no known ecological information about this genus, and its distribution was restricted to only in central and northern Europe, such as Finland, Sweden and Russia. In Korea, only one species, Bicellaria koreana Barták, Plant & Kubík, 2013, was recorded in the family Hybotidae from Mt. Baekdusan so far. Herein, the second genus Leptodromiella is newly recorded along with the nominate species, L. crassiseta (Tuomikoski, 1932) in Korean fauna. Re-description and illustrations of external features and male genitalia of the newly recorded species are provided in this paper.

  • The Aphis solanella, had been classified as a subspecies of Aphis fabae, is currently recognized as a separated species with A. fabae. The A. solanella is morphologically similar to A. fabae and has the same primary host, but there are differences in the range of the secondary host, physiological and ecological traits, so it has been suggested as a separated species. Since it had not been covered when recording the A. fabae at least including three subspecies in 2006 from South Korea, we recently collected and reconfirmed A. solanella in Busan. Therefore, we report the Aphis solanella as a new record with its description and illustrations.

  • This paper is to reclassify systematically the functions of urban river: that is, water supply, land management, transportation and energy source as social and economic function; formation of geomorphic surface, water-side landscape, community constitution and boundary and separation between regions as spatial function; and drainage of waste water, purification, habitation, and weather regulation as ecological function. On the basis of this reclassification, it can be argued that the socio-economic functions (eg. water supply) of the river among the functions of the river have been strongly mobilized in the process of modernization, while the spatial function and ecological function of urban river have been ignored. The Kumho river which flows through Daegu and the adjacent area has made a great contribution to the modem development process of the river basin area, but as a result of a selective development of a specific function of the river, that is the social and economic function, it now suffers from the lack of instream flow and is deprived of its original functions with the water pollution and degradation. Moreover the Daegu region seems no longer possible to develop on the dependence of the river. In order to overcome this kind of social and environmental crisis, this paper is to suggest both some principles and main evaluating indicators to restore the original and comprehensive functions of the river, and important measures to make the co-evolution of the city and the river possible.
