본 연구는 거제시의 마을 이름 중에 그 명명 기반이나 유래가 자연환경, 즉 자연지리적 요소에 있다고 믿어지는 것을 가려낸 다음, 그 속에 담긴 의의를 고찰한 것이다. 거제시의 마을 이름 중에는 해당마을 일대의 특징 있는 지형 기상 토양 등을 명명기반으로 한 사례가 적지 않다. 특히 급사면의 산지가 넓고, 리아스식 해안이 발달한 거제도의 지형 특징이 뚜렷하게 반영되어 있다. 기상(기후)와 토양과 관련된 것으로 추정되는 관련 마을 이름도 여럿이어서 관심을 끈다. 자연지리적 특성이 부각된 마을 이름은 그 자체만으로도 의미가 있으며, 명명 주체인 주민들의 환경지각, 자연환경의 역사적 변천 등과 관련된 연구 자료로도 활용할 수 있다.

Objectives: The water fluoridation program has been implemented since 2008, in a region of Geoje City. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the water fluoridation program on caries prevention in the permanent dentition. Methods: Evaluation surveys were conducted on 8-, 10- and 12-year-old children in the fluoridated and non-fluoridated regions of Geoje City, in 2015. The survey included 834 children from the fluoridated regions and 703 from the non-fluoridated regions. The data obtained from the survey were analyzed using the IBM SPSS statistical package version 23.0. The effectiveness of community water fluoridation in caries prevention was estimated by the differences in the decayed, missing, filled teeth (DMFT) and decayed, missing, filled surfaces (DMFS) scores, between the program and control groups. The mean numbers of fissure-sealed teeth and surfaces were adjusted to reduce their confounding effect. Results: The mean DMFT and DMFS scores (0.69 and 0.91, respectively) of 10-year-olds from the fluoridated regions, after adjusting for the numbers of fissure-sealed teeth and surfaces, were significantly lower than those of the 10 year olds (DMFT: 0.95, DMFS: 1.32) from the non-fluoridated regions. The effectiveness of water fluoridation on caries prevention in the permanent dentition, estimated based on the differences in the mean DMFT and DMFS scores, adjusted for the number of fissure-sealed teeth and surfaces, between the program and control groups of 10-year-old children, was 27.4% and 31.1%, respectively. Conclusions: These results suggest that the effectiveness of water fluoridation on caries prevention in the permanent dentition, in Geoje City was so high that this program should be implemented in other regions in Korea as well.

In this study, the simulations and analyses of flood flow due to a river inundation in a coastal urban area are carried out using a two-dimensional finite volume method with well-balanced HLLC scheme. The target area is a coastal urban area around Gohyun river which is located at Geoje city in Kyungnam province in Korea and was extremely damaged due to the heavy rainfall during the period of the typhoon "Maemi" in September 2003. For the purpose of the verification of the numerical model applied in this study, the simulated results are compared and analyzed with the inundation traces. Moreover, the flood flow in a urban area is simulated and analyzed based on the scenarios of inflow to the river with the increase and decrease of the intensity of the heavy rainfall.

BACKGROUND: Gohyeon Stream is the municipal eco-stream of 7.1km in total length which flows through the downtown area of Gohyeon in Geoje city, rising from the watershed of Mundong Water Fall. Gohyeon district in Geoje city has been a rapid growing area centering in Geoje city and then experienced an rapid increase in population. Large amounts of sewage pollutants have been spewed into Gohyeon Stream from its tributaries, due to the lack of sewer system. Gohyeon Stream is laced with unhealthy levels of fecal coliform (FC). Restoration of water quality in Gohyeon Stream is no less inevitable in behalf of its ecosystem and the citizen. In this study, the water quality of Gohyeon Stream and its tributaries was examined temporally and spatially, and their relationships were comparatively analyzed to give useful basic data applying to a restoration project of the water quality of Gohyeon Stream. METHODS AND RESULTS: The samples ware taken at 20 points in Gohyeon Stream and 19 points in its tributaries during the rainy and dry seasons, respectively, and examined on the parameters of pH, temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen (DO), suspended solid (SS), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN; $NH_3$-N, $NO_3$-N, $NO_2$-N), disolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP; $PO_4$-P) and FC. The data were analyzed using a comparative analysis and Pearson's correlation analysis among the parameters. During the rainy season, the concentration of SS was high in the upper region of Gohyeon Stream, and the concentrations of COD, DIN and DIP were low in the upper region and high in the middle and lower regions. During the dry season, the concentration of SS was low and the concentrations of COD, DIN, DIP and FC were high in all regions. The Pearson's correlation analyses showed that the relationships between DO and FC, COD and DIP, and DIN and FC during the rainy season as well as between DO and DIN, SS and FC, COD and DIP, and DIN and DIP during the dry season were significant. CONCLUSION: During the rainy season, the upper region of Gohyeon Stream flowed the high level of SS, the middle region the high level of nutrients due to an agricultural run-off, and the lower region the high level of nutrients due to a sewage inflow. During the dry season, the water quality of Gohyeon Stream was directly and sensitively influenced on the inflow of sewage from the tributaries.

The creation of marine protected areas is an important aspect of marine ecosystem sustainability. However, South Korea has not achieved its Aichi Biodiversity Target to designate 10% of its sea as marine protected by 2020. Local residents have strong opposition to the designation of protected areas in South Korea; there has been little trust in the government since the 1970s, when residents felt that their property rights were being ignored in favor of creating national parks. Here, we present a case where creation of a marine protected area was led by residents of TongYeong City. The success of a participation income project to remove marine debris in the city seems to be an important factor that led to the designation of the marine protected area. The case of TongYeong City is compared with that of nearby Geoje City, where an ecologically important stream has not been designated as a wetland protection area, although a similar participation income project enrolled the city's residents. The comparison provides a tentative assessment of the conditions needed to increase trust among residents. The results suggest that, if the projects are well-designed and well-managed, participation income projects to remove marine debris can be effective in building trust among stakeholders in potential marine protected areas.

The purpose of this study is to compare the correlation of clinical characteristics and patterns of disease. Subjects of the study were the adults(207) living in Geoje City, the diabetes mellitus and the hypertension patients(166) and the normal people(41). In the diabetes mellitus group and the hypertension group, blood pressure, blood glucose, total cholestero LDL-cholesterol and atherogenic index(AI) were significantly high. As the obesity index was getting higher, the blood pressure of the diabetes mellitus group was high, and the HDL-cholesterol of the hypertension group was low, but AI of it was significantly high. The AI was significantly high as serum lipid index were getting higher in both groups. The rate of the prevalence was very high in the diabetes mellitus group(74.3%) and the hypertension group(73.7%). The pattern in the diabetes mellitus group was in order of the hypertension, the hyperlipidemia, and the obesity but, in the hypertension group was the hyperlipidemia, and the obesity. The obesity index and serum lipid index of complex patient group were higher than single patient group.

본 조사 지역은 도심의 자연공간이 비록 인위적 조성이긴 하나 질적 및 양적으로 식생이 양호하게 잘 관리할 수 있음을 단적으로 보여 주었다. 식물상은 광범위한 조사 지역이 아님에도 불구하고 세 가지 특징이 있다. 첫째는 교과서적인 이차림에 의한 군락이 매우 양호하다는 점이다. 그러나 자연지역에서는 군락 형성이 미미했다. 둘째는 다양도는 자연집단에서는 높게 나타나고 조림지에서는 낮았다. 셋째, 자연 식생과 조림지의 종조성, 종다양도, 산림의 생산력에서 확연히 차이가 드러났다.

지방정부는 자체 관할지역에 위치한 모든 자산들을 공적 업무수행을 통해 보호하고 관리하기 위해 공적문서를 작성할 필요가 있으며, 2007년 1월부터 중앙정부는 복식부기 회계제도를 도입하여 자산 및 채무에 관련된 각종 자산관리보고서를 작성하여 운영할 것을 지자체에 강력히 요구하고 있다. 하지만 지하에 설치된 시설물과 같이 몇몇 시설물들은 정확한 조사가 어려운 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 GIS사업에서 구축한 데이터베이스를 사용하여 복식부기에 근거한 지자체의 사회간접자본시설물의 자산평가를 실시하기 위한 방안을 제시하였다. 경남 거제시의 경우를 분석한 결과, 도로 및 상수도시설물과 같은 시설물에 대해서는 GIS 데이터베이스에 있는 항목의 $70{\sim}80%$는 복식부기에 의한 자산평가에 활용될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 복식부기제도와 GIS사업간의 연계성이 미약한 관계로 향후 지자체에서 복식부기를 실질적으로 사용하기 위한 연구가 더 필요하다고 판단된다.
