  • The sicence of ecology was introduced into Korea as a part of biology translated into Chinese or Korean from western biology textbooks imported by way of China or directly from the West at the end of 19th c. to the beginning of 20th c. After the Japanese annexation of Korea in 1910, Japanese technologists had studied applied ecology to exploit the natural resources of Korea. Reforestation, begetation eclogy, riparian vegetation, etc. were investigated by workers from the West. Such ecological researches, however, did not contribute to the introduction of ecology into Korea, and the anture of the Korean peninsula was utilized by foreign ecologists as ecological research sites. Several Korean ecologists, not many, worked actively at the end of Japanese rule, and contributed to the settlement ecology in Korea since 1945.

  • This study was designed to establish the standing of Human Ecology by discussing the integrity and practicality of Human Ecology and viewing it from various angles. We dealt with objects of study, viewpoints, and the adoption of research results in discussing the integrity of Human Ecology. We also discussed the practicality of Human Ecology focusing on family welfare, health and policy. This study revealed that integrity and practicality were closely connected and played important roles in the identification of Human Ecology.

  • The spring home range and habitat use of the spot-billed duck in Korea were studied using GPS-mobile phone-based telemetry (WT-300). The study areas were Anseong-si, Seosan-si, Nonsan-si, and Sejong-si. Analysis was performed using minimum convex polygon (MCP) and kernel density estimation (KDE) spot-billed ducks had an average home range of 70.28 km2 (standard deviation [SD]=84.50, n=6), and a core habitat (50%) 2.66 km2 (SD=2.60, n=6), according to MCP and KDE, respectively. Wetlands (41.5%) and rice fields (35.7%) were highly used as habitats. The rice field use rate was high during the day, and the wetland utilization rate was high at night. Rice fields and wetlands were the primary habitats in spring.
