  • Pheromone orientation in moths is an exemplar of olfactory sensitivity. To avoid cross mating, the responses of males to pheromone blends must be high specificity and temporal resolution. We tested the effects of olfactory self- and cross-adaptation of pheromone compounds and mixtures in Spodoptera litura moths by electroantennogram (EAG) recordings. The challenge of S. litura antennae to a pulse train of its own pheromone blends of Z9,E11-14:OAc and Z9,E12-14:OAc with 200 ms on/off and 1 s on/off indicated that the repetitive stimulation by 200 ms on/off with high dosages resulted in greater adaptation than that by 1 s on/off with low dosages and the adaptation index of Z9,E11-14:OAc in all treatments is significantly larger than that of Z9,E12-14:OAc, suggesting that high dosages with more frequent stimulation prefer to induce sensory adaptations and a different odor coding exist between the two components in the antennal periphery in this moth. The cross-adaptation EAG test among the two pheromone compounds and Z7-12:OAc and Z9-14:OH from congeneric species of S. litura showed that each of these compounds adapted the antenna more to that specific compound. The significantly higher adaptation to Z7-12:OAc and Z9-14:OH than to the pheromone components of S. litura induced by themselves suggested that both of them are coded by specific odor receptor neurons which are different from those tuned to the pheromone components of S. litura . Thus, we proposed that Z7-12:OAc and Z9-14:OH may play an important role in avoidance of heterospecific mating between S. litura and its sympatric moth species.

  • Japanese agriculture has faced to several threats: aging and decrease of farmer population, global competition, and the risk of climate change as well as harsh and variable weather. On the other hands, the number of large scale farms is increasing, because farm lands have been being aggregated to fewer numbers of farms. Cost cutting, development of efficient ways to manage complicatedly scattered farm lands, maintaining yield and quality under variable weather conditions, are required to adapt to changing environments. Information and communications technology (ICT) would contribute to solve such problems and to create innovative technologies. Thus we have been developing an early warning and decision support system to reduce weather and climate risks for rice, wheat and soybean production in Japan. The concept and prototype of the system will be shown. The system consists of a weather data system (Agro-Meteorological Grid Square Data System, AMGSDS), decision support contents where information is automatically created by crop models and delivers information to users via internet. AMGSDS combines JMA's Automated Meteorological Data Acquisition System (AMeDAS) data, numerical weather forecast data and normal values, for all of Japan with about 1km Grid Square throughout years. Our climate-smart system provides information on the prediction of crop phenology, created with weather forecast data and crop phenology models, as an important function. The system also makes recommendations for crop management, such as nitrogen-topdressing, suitable harvest time, water control, pesticide spray. We are also developing methods to perform risk analysis on weather-related damage to crop production. For example, we have developed an algorism to determine the best transplanting date in rice under a given environment, using the results of multi-year simulation, in order to answer the question "when is the best transplanting date to minimize yield loss, to avoid low temperature damage and to avoid high temperature damage?".

  • 본 연구에서는 국가 생태분야 기후변화 리스크 평가와 연계한 적응 정책 및 연구의 방향성에 대한 시사점을 마련하고자 하였다. 본 논문에서 검토한 적응 정책과 연구에 대한 해외 모범사례의 공통점은 국가 적응정책 수립 시 과학적 근거기반 구축 및 불확실성 저감을 목표로 국가단위에서 기후변화가 생물다양성과 생태계에 미치는 영향 연구를 강조한다는 점이다. 이에 비추어 추후 국가 정책 마련 시 기후변화 협약과 생물다양성 협약 등 효율적 통합적 준수를 위한 적응체계를 유도하고, 적응의 경제적 가치평가를 통한 정책 반영, 과학적 연구 프로그램 강화 및 기술 개발의 측면을 보강하여 보다 성공적인 국가적응 정책 구조를 정착해 갈 수 있어야 할 것이다. 특히 생태계 분야 적응방안이 보다 실효성 있게 실행되기 위해서는 우리나라 서식지 및 종의 기후변화 리스크 요소(위해, 노출, 취약성)에 대한 과학적 진단과 분석을 바탕으로 리스크를 평가하고 이에 대한 적응방안을 통합하여 고민하는 노력이 필요할 것이다.

  • 우리나라는 유엔 기후변화 협약 상 온실가스 저감과 함께 중요하게 다뤄지고 있는 기후변화적응 문제에 대응하기 위해, 2010년에는 국가기후변화적응대책(2011~2015)의 마련 추진 등 구체적인 기후변화적응체계를 갖추어 나가고 있다. 기후변화적응에 관한 우리의 역량을 선진 외국의 정책 및 관련 도구개발 기술 등과 비교할 때, 기후변화 관련 기반의 정보 부족, 전문 연구 인력의 부족, 기후변화 취약성 평가기술 부족 등 여러 부문에서 한계가 있다. 그러나 기후변화적응과 관련된 우수한 정보체계, 상대적으로 높은 기후변화적응기술을 보유하고 있는 강점이 있다. 2009년 7월에는 기후변화적응 전문연구조직인 한국환경정책?평가연구원/국가기후변화적응센터가 마련되었고, 국가의 기후변화적응능력과 동아시아 등 기후변화에 취약한 국가들을 지원하기 위한 우리나라의 능력을 높이고 있다. 기후변화적응정책 및 기술개발이 환경산업과 밀접하게 맞물려 있음을 볼 때, 이 부문에 대해 우리나라가 추진하는 아시아 지역 개도국들에 대한 협력 및 기술지원 등은 장기적인 투자의 밑거름이라 볼 수 있다. 아시아 지역 국가들과의 기후변화적응 국제협력은 사업-연구-교육-국제 동반자 체계를 묶는 상호보완적인 통합형의 국제협력을 고려할 수 있다. 또한, 개도국과 세계적 관심을 끌 수 있는 공동의 문제를 발굴하여 함께 해결하는 동반자 및 랜드 마크형의 상호 국제협력 등은 효과적이며 지속적으로 추진할 수 있는 사업이 될 것이다.

  • In this paper, we propose a transformation based robust adaptation technique that uses the maximum mutual information(MMI) estimation for the objective function and the linear spectral transformation(LST) for adaptation. LST is an adaptation method that deals with environmental noises in the linear spectral domain, so that a small number of parameters can be used for fast adaptation. The proposed technique is called MMI-LST, and evaluated on TIMIT and FFMTIMIT corpora to show that it is advantageous when only a small amount of adaptation speech is used.

  • This study applies the concept of climate change vulnerability assessment in order to suggest climate change adaptation effects in a quantitative manner, given that previous studies have hitherto rely on qualitative assessment, as climate change adaptive policies are currently being implemented by local governments of Korea. The vulnerability assessment tool used in this study is VESTAP ("Vulnerability assESsment Tool to build a climate change Adaptation Plan"), which was developed by the Korea Adaptation Center for Climate Change (KACCC), and applied to gauge the vulnerability of pine trees to diseases and pests within Chungcheongnam-do. The climate change adaptation project for vulnerability improvement was assessed only in terms of forest disaster prevention and change in regional climate change vulnerabilities within 16 regions of Chungcheongnam-do as the result of 2016 Climate Change Adaptation Project (Forest Disaster Prevention Project). As a result, it was observed that climate change adaptive capacity has improved according to change in the area of forestland with disaster prevention, and the vulnerability indicator decreased, confirming the impact of the climate change adaptation (forest disaster prevention) project. Also, analysis of regional climate change adaptation project scales and change in vulnerabilities allowed us to determine the regional propriety of climate change adaptation (forest disaster prevention) projects launched in 2016.

  • With the recent increase in the number of foreign settlers in our country, we need a societal system which they can adapt well in. In order to successfully settle in our society, the marriage immigrants who especially plan a life in a new environment should be supported with support programs, especially to help them adapt to their very basic housing environment as their daily environment. From this research, through a program analysis of multi-cultural family support centre, the societal support helping to adapt to the residential environment for marriage immigrants in each nation was examined, and grasp an understanding on their adaptation to the housing environment by conducting interviews about housing environment adaptation examples. From the result of analyzing the 100 programs of the multi-cultural family support system, it could be seen that for the marriage immigrants to adapt, various programs are needed. In other words, there are effective programs for the early settlement of the marriage immigrants such as Korean education, tradition culture education, provision of district daily information, but it could be seen that heavier education was needed for, than for the sake of the marriage immigrants who took such education. Through adaptation case examples of 8 marriage immigrants from 5 different countries, it was realizable that the housing problems the marriage immigrants go through, are not limited to themselves, but also are related to the safety of their family and adaptation problems with their children. Therefore, by developing an adaptation program to help with housing environmental adaptation, the lives of the marriage immigrants' families will be supported, and will support early settlement, which then basic preparation for human resources as district societal use will be needed. By developing a program with a housing environmental professional, and if there is a positive effect and achievement, it is expected that there will be a standard program system available for all marriage immigrants.

  • 우리나라 지자체별 기후변화적응과 연관된 필요한 기초 자료를 생산하고 관리하는 도구로서 CCGIS(Climate Change Adaptation Toolkit based on GIS)를 개발하였다. CCGIS 개발의 주요 목적은 기후변화적응대책을 위해 필요한 중요한 정보와 데이터들을 제공할 뿐만 아니라, 기후변화적응 대책 마련에 필요한 기후변화 취약성 지수를 산정하는 데 있다. 본 논문에서는 CCGIS에 탑재된 기후 및 대기환경모델로 모의된 2000년과 2020년, 2050년, 2100년의 IPCC SRES(A2, B1, A1B, A1T, A1FI, A1 시나리오) 배출량 시나리오별 현재 및 미래 기후 자료를 생산하고, 이를 토대로 기후변화 적응에 필요한 자료를 제공하고, 표출하는 과정을 기술하였다. 아울러 한반도 지자체를 대상으로 CCGIS를 이용한 기후변화 취약성지수의 특성과 공간 분포, 그리고 그 산출 과정을 설명하고, 그 활용성을 논하였다.
