This study is one of the processes to build the artificial wetlands in the urban area. The purpose of this study was to survey biotic or physical environments, and to review modelling techniques to find out the ecological structure and function. Case study site was the Bangdong wetland in the north west side of Taejon metropolitan city. The number of species of insects decreased during monitoring. But the number of individuals of insects decreased abruptly after increasing. And then biodiversity index dropped and dominance index increased. So the structure of biotopes was affected by weather conditions. And in the restricted area such as urban area, the changes of insects were affected sensitively by not physical but environmental changes. As for birds, the number of species was reduced a little, but the number of individuals increased abruptly. And dominance index increased slowly. The changes of water depth and increase of temperature affected the habitat condition of vegetations and birds, so the dominance index of specific species increased. In urban areas it is necessary to continue management for water environmental changes, such as the depth and area of water. The number of species of fishes was reduced a little, but the number of individuals increased abruptly. And dominance index and biodiversity index decreased slowly. But the water environments was so changeable that it is difficult to explain current status as some specific trends. The number of species of reptiles and amphibians changed little, but the number of individuals increased abruptly. And dominance and biodiversity were not changed. The changes of water depth and temperature affected the habitat of every species the environmental changes affected.

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), ocean warming and acidification are accelerating as a result of the continuous increase in atmospheric $CO_2$. This may affect the function and structure of marine ecosystems. Recently, changes in marine environments/ecosystems have been observed (increase in SST, decrease in the pH of seawater, northward expansion of subtropical species, etc.) in Korean waters. However, we still don't understand well how climate change affects these changes and what can be expected in the future. In order to answer these questions with regard to Korean waters, the project named 'Assessment of the impact of climate change on marine ecosystems in the South Sea of Korea' has been supported for 5 years by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries and is scheduled to end in 2013. This project should provide valuable information on the current status of marine environments/ecosystems in the South Sea of Korea and help establish the methodology and observation/prediction systems to better understand and predict the impact of climate/marine environment changes on the structure and function of marine ecosystems. This special issue contains 5 research and a review articles that highlight the studies carried out during 2012-2013 through this project.

Designing environments for the elderly includes studying changes in the elderly themselves, changes in their environment, and changes in the intercommunication between the elderly and their environment. The purpose of this study is to provide guidelines for a ubiquitous environment in which seniors can "age in place," using an environment-behavioral approach. 305 subjects aged 45 to 78 take part in the survey research. Temporal sequence (age groups) and behavior (daily activities) are considered as the significant variables to design digital services for the elderly in the perspective of an environment-behavioral approach. Several conclusions can be made. (1) The characteristics of subjects in the over-65 age group shows that they manage an independent lifestyle even if they realize some body functions deteriorate as they age. (2) Over-65 age group is more engaged in healthcare and pastime activities. The male subjects of it are most inactive. (3) The IDA (importance of daily activities) and FDA (frequency of daily activities) are classified by five to six factors in each group. The IDA and FDA of the group aged over 65 differ from other age groups. (4) Five affordance dimensions of digital services for the elderly are proposed: Healthcare, Domesticity, Mobility & Security, Network, and Recreation & Pastime. These affordance dimensions will help research groups or companies design ubiquitous environments to enhance the quality of life of seniors.

LED lighting has an advantage of adjusting color temperature. This change of color temperature may derive change in behavioral and physiological responses of the visual perception for indoor environments. This research examined the changes of behavioral and physiological responses caused by the color temperature. The environment was configured that the indoor temperature was 20 degrees centigrade or less as the perceived uncomfortable environment in winter. Then, the comfortable sensation vote (CSV) and the results of 3-back working memory test were measured as behavioral responses. In addition, the Electrodermal Activity (EDA) and Electrocardiogram (ECG) were measured as the responses of autonomics nervous system (ANS) in the three conditions of color temperature (red: 3862K, white: 5052K, blue: 11,460K). As a result, behavioral responses were not significant by the condition of color temperature, but the tendency of occupants' physiological relaxation appeared in the blue color temperature condition compared with the white color temperature condition. Although the color temperature of LED lighting might be a small factor in terms of the characteristics of indoor environment, it suggests that the color temperature could have an impact on the physiological changes in the parasympathetic nervous system.

기존의 상황 인식 서비스 모델에서는 리소스에 대한 접근 권한을사용자의 인증으로만 리소스에 대한 접근을 허용하였으나, 사용자의 주변 상황 정보가 빈번하게 변화하는 유비쿼터스 환경에서는 상황 변화에 따른 리소스 접근제어가 제공될 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 사용자의 상황 정보가 변경되는 경우에 따라 리소스에 대한 접근 권한을 동적으로 제어하고자 한다. 접근 제어는 기존의 CASA(Context-Aware Security Architecture)를 기반으로 하지만 현재 서비스를 받고 있는 사용자라 할지라도 리소스 접근 권한을 제한할 수도 있다. 즉, 주위 환경 정보를 실시간으로 검사하여 주위 환경에 따라 동적으로 접근 권한을 달리 부여하여 기존의 상황 인식 서비스보다 리소스에 대한 강인한 보안 서비스를 제공한다.

In case of school buildings, energy consumption has been noticeably on the increase, along with the changes in outdoor temperature triggered by the improvement in national economic development and educational environments. Research on the characteristics of energy consumption in school buildings influenced by the changes in outdoor temperature is considered very significant in social aspects in that it will be fundamental to the suggestion of the alternatives, such as saving energy consumption in construction buildings and control of emitting carbon dioxide. In this regard, this study examined sensitivity to temperature of power consumption in school buildings, based on the changes of outdoor temperature for the past five years in the target buildings of elementary, middle and high schools and the amount of energy consumption. From the results, it has been believed that this study was very significant in terms of figuring out a quantitative, optimum level of energy consumption, maintenance of pleasant environments and functions, and the necessity of effective energy use and management in school buildings.

Since the introduction of the new Variation Type school, few studies have focused on students' adaptation to the changes in their learning environments at school. This paper is based on the Stage-Environment Fit theory, which asserts that a successful school life(in terms of motivation to learn) is ensured only when the school environment meets the social and emotional needs of students. Focusing on the third-grade student's adaptation to a new Variation Type school during their middle school period, the following conclusions were drawn. First, the transition to a new Variation Type school during middle school is much more difficult than adjusting to a new Variatio Type school upon admission to middle school. Second, this difficulty in adaptation is caused by socio-emotional dissatisfaction in adolescent students, for whom deconstruction of previous friendships can hinder motivation to learn. Third, third-grade students who experienced stress due to spatial changes tended to have a negative attitude towards the new Variation Type itself as they feel more tired from failing to use the space properly. Fourth, to transition successfully to a new Variation Type school, socio-emotional problems must be solved through the reduction of scale of the homebase, and the provision of various choices increasing the number of homebase.

Due to the acceleration of an aging society, the need for lower limb exoskeletons to assist gait is increasing. And for use in daily life, it is essential to have technology that can accurately estimate gait phase even in the walking environment and walking speed of the wearer that changes frequently. In this paper, we implement an LSTM-based gait phase estimation learning model by collecting gait data according to changes in gait speed in outdoor level ground and stair environments. In addition, the results of the gait phase estimation error for each walking environment were compared after learning for both max hip extension (MHE) and max hip flexion (MHF), which are ground truth criteria in gait phase divided in previous studies. As a result, the average error rate of all walking environments using MHF reference data and MHE reference data was 2.97% and 4.36%, respectively, and the result of using MHF reference data was 1.39% lower than the result of using MHE reference data.

최근, RSSI 기반의 핑거프린팅 위치추정 기술은 실내 위치 기반 서비스에 널리 사용되고 있다. 기존의 핑거프린팅 기법에서는 위치추정 정확도를 높이기 위해 수신 되는 최대한 많은 수의 AP들을 사용하거나, 측위에 소요되는 시간을 줄이기 위해 RSSI 신호의 세기가 가장 강한 일부의 AP만을 선택하여 사용하였다. 그러나 실제 환경에서 발생하는 사람의 움직임이나 이동하는 장애물등의 주변 환경 변화에 따른 RSSI의 오차가 반영되지 않았다. 이러한 환경변화는 RSSI 신호 세기의 예측값과 실측값과의 차이를 발생시키는 원인이 되며, 위치추정에 예측할 수 없는 오차를 발생시키게 된다. 따라서, 환경요인에 의한 오차 발생을 완화하기 위해서 주변 환경 변화를 고려하여 실내 측위에 적절한 AP들을 선택하여 사용하는 기술이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 주변 환경의 영향을 고려하여 안정적인 AP만을 선택하는 방식과 이에 적합한 측위 알고리즘을 제안한다. 또한 실험을 통하여 제안한 방식과 기존의 AP 선출 방식의 성능을 비교 분석하였다.
