This study aims to review the existing forms and farmers'perception of the agricultural dry stonewalls under agricultural environment, based on the case of Hado-ri, Gujwa-eup, Jeju Province. The study results are as follows: First, agricultural dry stonewalls in Hado-ri are most external walls, many of which are curvy. Concrete walls have recently shown up to enclose fields. Second, the height of agricultural dry stonewalls varies according to the location, and their length was calculated 16.514km(two farming region) based on a field survey and numerical cadastral maps. Third, farmers in Hado-ri perceive a great need for agricultural dry stonewalls. This means that agricultural dry stonewalls have a sustainable value despite rapid social change. Fourth, the methods for the sustainable preservation of agricultural dry stonewalls involve improving eco-friendly agricultural environment for the stonewalls, building database by village about them, carrying out their transformation and building according to promulgated ordinances, promoting the value of the stonewalls to Jeju citizens, and educating them to perceive the value of the stonewalls.

Concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), dissolved organic nitrogen (DON), dissolved organic phosphate (DOP), and colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) were measured in the coastal sea off inland aqua farms in northeastern Jeju Island in summer 2015. The highest concentrations of DOC, DON, and DOP were revealed in the surface water off Hado-ri where the lowest salinity conditions prevailed (31.6). The concentrations of DOC, DON, and DOP in the surface water were lower in the inner stations (SH1-1, 1-2, and 1-3) near the aqua farms of the Haengwon-ri than in the outer stations. The concentrations of DOC, DON, and DOP negatively correlated with salinity. These results indicate that the contribution of dissolved organic matter (DOM) from the aqua farms seems to be not significant. On the other hand, the higher concentrations of DON and DOP in the inner stations of Hado-ri (HD 1-1) seem to be attributed to excrement of migrating birds. The three components of CDOM (T, M, and C peaks) showed no relationship with salinity, perhaps due to various in situ productions by marine organisms and decomposition by ultraviolet radiation. The observed lower C:M ratio, an indicator of terrestrial source, and the higher biological index (BIX) of CDOM in the station off Hado-ri indicate that DOM is produced mainly by biological activity. Based on the higher humification index (HIX) of CDOM and the higher DOC:DON ratio off Haengwon-ri, refractory DOM in the inland aqua farms is likely transported to the coastal sea.
