4대강 사업 공사로 인해 한강수계에서 자생하던 멸종위기 야생생물 II급인 단양쑥부쟁이와 층층둥굴레의 서식지가 소실되어 이에 대한 대안으로 대체서식지가 조성되었다. 본 연구에서는 조성된 대체서식지가 각 종의 서식에 적합한지를 파악하기 위하여 서식지 적합 지수(Habitat Suitability Index; HSI)를 이용하였다. 2015년 10월부터 2016년 7월까지 경기도 여주 강천섬과 섬강 일대에 위치한 단양쑥부쟁이 대체서식지와 강천섬과 충북 충주 영죽지구에 위치한 층층둥굴레 대체서식지를 대상으로 HSI를 평가하였다. 단양쑥부쟁이의 평가 변수로는 서식 기질(매몰되지 않은 자갈의 비율), 고도 범위, 토양 양분, 광 조건 4가지를 선정하였고, 층층둥굴레는 토성, 광 조건, 동반 위해종의 피도 3가지를 선정하여 HSI를 이용한 대체서식지 적합성 평가를 수행하였다. 평가 결과, 강천섬의 단양쑥부쟁이(HSI = 0.839)와 층층둥굴레(HSI = 0.846)의 대체서식지 모두 비교적 높은 적합지수를 나타내었으나, 섬강 일대의 단양쑥부쟁이 대체서식지와 영죽지구의 층층둥굴레 대체서식지는 대체서식지로서 적합하지 않음으로 판단되었다(HSI = 0). 또한 이들 부적합한 대체서식지의 경우, 자생지 인근에서 서식에 적합한 장소를 새로이 선정하는 것이 더 바람직할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구는 식물종에 대해 HSI를 적용한 국내 최초의 시도로, 식물 서식처에 대한 HSI의 효용성을 증명하였다.

Evaluating the habitat suitability of potential aquaculture sites for cultured species is critical to the sustainable use of tidal flats. This study evaluated the habitat suitability index (HSI) of 12 sites in a tidal flat aquaculture farm at Geunso Bay, Taean, in June 2016. The parameters used to model the suitability index were Growth (water temperature, chlorophyll ${\alpha}$, hydrodynamics), Survival (sediment-sand, mean size, air exposure), and Environment (DO, salinity). The HSI was calculated using weighted and No weighted geometric means. The results showed high habitat suitability at the bay's entrance (HIS; No weighted, 0.60-0.70; weighted, 0.60). Hydrodynamics, air exposure, sediment-sand and mean size are thought to have a significant impact on habitat selection by Manila clams Ruditapes philippinarum. This study explored the optimum habitat for Manila clams by calculating the HSI, providing basic data for tidal flat management.

바다숲 조성 해역에 대상 해조류의 최적 적지를 도출하기위해 서식지 평가 방법을 이용하였다. 서식지 평가 방법은 HEP(Habitat Evaluation Procedure)를 이용하여 대상 해조류가 서식하기에 적합한지를 고려하여 수행하였다. 그 결과 바다숲 조성 해역에서 바다숲을 시설하기에 최적으로 예측되는 곳을 계량적으로 선정할 수 있었으며, 적지 선정에는 수심의 변화에 따른 인자인 광조건과 파랑의 변화 여부가 적지의 공간적 변동에 가장 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 선정된 적지의 총 면적은 18ha로 분석되었으며, 서식 적합 지수(Habitat Suitability Index, HSI)에 의해 분석된 서식지의 질을 계량화한 결과 0.55~0.907(최고치는 1.0) 사이의 범위를 보였고, 선정된 적지가 등 수심선 방향을 따라 분포하고 있기 때문에 바다숲 조성지에 기반 시설인 해중림초를 투하할 때, 수심에 수평 방향의 띠 형태로 시설하는 것이 가장 바람직할 것으로 판단된다.

For biodiversity conservation, Biological Impact Assessment is very important. The focus of the study is to enhance efficient Environment Impact Assessment(EIA) based on collecting existing information of endangered species covering the status survey, estimation of effects and reducing methods. Habitat Suitability Index(HSI) can be applicable to Ecological Impact Assessment and finding various reducing methods based on estimating effects. For this study, the EIA report of Samjang - Sanchung highway construction was chosen as an example and Prionailurus bengalensis euptilura as an endangered species was chosen to assess the ecosystem impact on road construction. Water, road, ground coverage, slope, altitude as variables of habitat were weighted and final HSI map was calculated using Arc map and Arc view. Through comparing of before and after HSI, quantitative estimating on effects was possible to minimize impact of road construction to wildlife habitat.

This study was conducted as a basic study to develop the HSI(Habitat Suitability Index) model of Pelophylax chosenicus based on the research on the ecological and habitat status of Pelophylax chosenicus and the literature research on the HSI model. The habitat variables of Pelophylax chosenicus are the altitude of the spawning pond, the habitat area, the distance from wetland, the soil(aptitude grade for paddy field), the place for eating such as paddy field and wetlands(land cover) and the distance from Predator(Lithobates catesbeianus) distribution area. Based on the existing literature of Pelophylax chosenicus, the results of field surveys and expert opinions, the SI(Suitability Index) model and HSI model were developed and applied to the site to examine the applicability of the HSI model. As a result of application, SI 4 and SI 5 with varying SI values seem to have a major influence on the HSI. In addition, it is considered that the HSI model is an arithmetic mean of SI models, which has a major impact on HSI. The HSI model can be an important basis for the habitat evaluation and restoration model of Pelophylax chosenicus. In particular, it is highly applicable to the selection and evaluation of alternative habitats for Pelophylax chosenicus.

The conservation of stream habitats has been gaining more public attention and fish habitat suitability index (HSI) is an important measure for ecological stream habitat assessment. The fish habitat preference is affected not only by physical stream conditions but also by water quality of which HSI was not available due to the lack of field data. The purpose of this study is to estimate the HSI of Zacco platypus for water quality parameters of water temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) using the water environment monitoring data provided by the Ministry of Environment (ME). Fish population data merged with water quality were constructed by spatio-temporal matching of nationwide water quality monitoring data with bio-monitoring data of the ME. Two types of the HSI were calculated by the Instream Flow and Aquatic Systems Group (IFASG) method and probability distribution (Weibull) fitting for the four major river basins. Both the HSIs by the IFASG and Weibull fitting appeared to represent the overall distribution and magnitude of fish population and this can be used in stream fish habitat evaluation considering water quality.

This study aimed to develop the HSI (Habitat Suitability Index) model of Cypripedium guttatum. and to verify this model by applying to the candidate sites for replacement habitat. The development of HSI and SI (Suitability Index) model was conducted based on the existing literature, field surveys, and expert opinions for information on ecological habitat characteristics. Seven variables were selected as habitat variables including mean maximum temperature in Jul.-Aug., lighting, slope, altitude, effective soil depth, soil texture, and artificial overexploitation (i.e. protected areas). HSI model was developed for C. guttaum based on these variables. This HSI model showed high applicability to selection and evaluation of replacement habitats for C. guttaum. Our findings could provide the basic information on habitat assessment to prevent the extinction of endangered C. guttatum. However, since there is a limitation that the survey data were insufficient, further field surveys should be conducted on several habitat types to improve the accuracy of the HSI model.

This study was conducted to estimate the habitat suitability of 17 benthic macroinvertebrate taxa in the Hwayang stream. Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) of benthic macroinvertebrates from the Hwayang stream was developed based on three physical habitat factors which include current velocity, water depth, and the substrate. The Weibull model was used as a probability density function to analyze the distribution of individual abundance by physical factors. The number of species and the total individual abundance increased along with the increase in current velocity. By means of Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA), the relative importance of each factor was determined in the following order: current velocity, water depth, and the mean diameter. The results depicted that, the most influential factor in the growth of benthic macroinvertebrates in the Hwavang system was current velocity. After comparing the analyzed results from the Hwayang stream with the resukts from the Gapyeong stream, the integrated HSI was drawn. The results indicated that current velocity and substrate had similar distributions of HSI in the two streams. This was due to the addition of unmeasured data from previous surveys, or the fact that benthic macroinvertebrates adapted to deeper waters in the Hwayang Stream. Most taxa showed a clear preference for a fast current velocity, deep water depth and coarse substrate except Baetiella, Epeorus, (mayflies), and Hydropsyche (caddisfly).

The purpose of this research is to develop the Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) for habitat environments of Aix galericulata (A. galericulata) and Dendrocopos major (D. major), which tend to inhabit urban environments. A. galericulata and D. major are the keystone species representing the ecosystem of wetlands and forests. Based on the analysis of their urban habitat environments, this study selects artificially adjustable levels of the environmental index in order to produce the HSI model, which can be used when either restoring or creating the urban habitats for these species. To develop the HSI, we conducted field surveys at Jungnangcheon Stream, Changgyeonggung, Jangneung, Bangbae Neighborhood Park, Gildong Ecological Park, and Seodalsan Mountain. These surveys were conducted between April and August 2020, and this period includes the breeding season of both A. galericulata and D. major. Based on our findings from the surveys, we conclude that there are six SI factors for A. galericulata. These include (1) the presence of alluvial islands, (2) waterfront vegetation cover rate, (3) type of aquatic plants for food, (4) size of forest patch, (5) type of trees in nearby forests, and (6) connectivity of waterfront and forest. We also conclude that there are five SI factors for D. major, which include (1) size of forest patch, (2) rate of broadleaf trees in forest patches, (3) type of nesting trees, (4) diameter at breast height (DBH) of nesting trees, and (5) density of dead trees. The result of this research can provide future studies with useful guidance when both (1) comparing the habitat suitability of the target species in different environments and (2) restoring or creating habitats for these species.

바지락 양식장의 생산력은 적지 선정과 밀접한 관련이 있기 때문에, 생산량 관리를 위해서는 양식품종에 적합한 서식지를 평가하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 2014년 5월 곰소만에 위치한 고창 갯벌어장의 9개 정점에 대하여 서식지 적합지수(Habitat Suitability Index, 이하 HSI)를 평가하였다. 평가인자로 바지락의 성장(해수유동, 클로로필 a), 생존(퇴적물 입도-모래, 실트질 점토), 수질환경(용존산소, 염분)을 선정하였고, HSI기법을 이용한 갯벌어장 적지 평가를 수행하였다. HSI 가점은 객관적 판단을 위해 가중치를 고려한 가정과 고려하지 않은 가정을 함께 시도하였다. 평가결과, 고창 갯벌어장의 하부조간대(HSI; No weight: 0.60~0.76, Weight: 0.47~0.70)가상부조간대(HSI; No weight: 0.25~0.27, Weight: 0.09~0.10)보다 높은 적합지수를 나타내었으며, 해수유동과 퇴적물이 바지락 선호 서식지 결정에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단되었다. 본 연구는 과학적인 접근을 통하여 현재 고창 바지락 양식장 이외의 잠재적인 적지를 고려할 수 있고, 갯벌어장 최적 관리 방안을 위한 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있다.
