In 2001, a black scab disease was observed in tea plant (Thea sinensis) cultivated in the hillsides of Hwngaemyon and Hadong-gun, Gyeongnam province, Korea. The disease symptoms initially appeared on leaves, green twigs and stems, showing small dark brown spots on the infected areas, which gradually expanded. A fungus was isolated from diseased leaves and green twigs. It grew readily on potato dextrose agar, forming dark green to dark gray colonies. The optimum temperature for mycelial growth was about 20$^{\circ}C$. The diameter of growing hyphae was 3.5-5.8 $\mu\textrm{m}$. Conidia were ellipsoidal, ovoid or subspherical, and mostly one-celled but occasionally septate. The size of one-celled and septate conidia were 3.7-12.4${\times}$3.4-5.2 $\mu\textrm{m}$ and 9.3-18.7${\times}$3.8-7.2 $\mu\textrm{m}$, respectively. Conidia were formed in long branched chains on the erected conidiophores, which were dark brown in color and 28.9-218.3${\times}$3.0-6.1 $\mu\textrm{m}$ in length. The fungus was identified as Cladosporium herbarum on the basis of its morphological characteristics. The black scab disease occurring in tea caused by Cladosporium herbarum has not been previously reported in Korea.

Initially from the Taoist scriptures, 'Dongcheon' is a term that can be regarded as a symbolic place in the real world for the enlightened ones who received relief and peace by restoring the human nature taught in the Confucian school. The long for an ideal world apart from the reality embodied as the labeling some places 'Dongcheon,' and the term was used to refer to a scenery where the ideal fairyland is reproduced. Besides, 'Dongcheon' was a term often used by Confucian scholars for various purposes including the attachment to the nearby landscapes, expressing homogeneity and superiority through placeness and the beautification of settlement spaces. This paper is the result of a field study on 'Dongcheon' in the Gyeongsang-Do. The research was conducted from March to August 2018, and we carried out firsthand location surveys on Dongcheons, of which some were lost, others were fairly preserved, and still others could not be located as only their existences were passed down orally. According to the field survey, there were total 111 inscriptions or engravings on the plates in Gyeongsang-Do that include the term 'Dongcheon.' There were 79 'Dongcheon' inscriptions confirmed in the Gyeongsangbuk-Do region: twenty in Yeongju-City, sixteen in Bonghwa-Gun, eleven in Andong-City and seven in Yeongyang-Gun and Ulgin-Gun. Among them, two were in the form of a wooden sign, and six were erected as rock signposts. Fourteen stops reported in the literature were lost or unidentified. Also, among the sixteen signs in Bonghwa-Gun, nine were cursive engravings. Meanwhile, there were 26 Dongcheon inscriptions in the Gyeongsangnam-Do region. Hamyang-Gun and Sancheong-Gun anf Hadong-Gun each housed three inscriptions, and seven places were in the form of rock signposts. 'Hwagaedongcheon' and 'Geumsandongcheon' could not be identified in inscriptions although they appear in Jibong Yuseol and Taengniji with stories of Choi Chiwon. The significance of this study is as a reference for future researches in traditional scenery, epigraphs, or as primary data that helps cultural exploration in the region.

There occurred a moderate size earthquake of Magnitude 5 in Whagae-Myun, Hadong-GUn, Kyongsangnam-Do on July 4, 1936. It caused severe damage to the buildings and other structures in Sang-Gye-Sa, a Buddhist Temple. The top component of a five-story stone pagoda was tipped over and fell down to the ground during the earthquake. In order to have accurate and quantitative estimate of the peak acceleration level of that earthquake, a full-scale model was constructed through rigorous verification process. The complete model was mounted on a shaking table and subjected to the dynamic tests. Two kinds of tests were performed: exploratory test and fragility test. The exploratory test was done with low acceleration level. In the fragility test, the behavior of the model was carefully monitored while increasing the acceleration level. The construction details of the model are provided and test procedures are reported. Finally important test results are presented and their implications are discussed.

Most of hydrological processes of groundwater recharge generally are occupied a rainfall, and recharged an aquifer along infiltrate into subsurface. These processes mainly have an influence by hydrological characteristics and topographic gradient of the aquifer. Development of water resources and its management is not good because of temporal and spatial disproportion in local rainfall. In order to deal with insufficiency of water resources from now on, development of groundwater dam requires a plan of a sustainable of new water resources. These are necessary that investigation of construction area of groundwater dam, effective groundwater development interconnected with surface water and groundwater, and assessment of an application of groundwater dam for utilization of water resources. Tn this study we were derived the input data by geological survey, hydraulic and hydrological analysis around Hoengchun-river, located in Hadong-gun, Gyeongsangnam Province where is a plan area for construction of groundwater dam. Based on input data we were carried out the interconnected analysis of surface water and groundwater using the SWAT-MODFLOW, and predicted groundwater fluctuation of its construction before and after.

Angular leaf spot of strawberry caused by Xanthomonas fragariae occurred sporadically in the farmers open field at Sugok-myon, Jinju city, and greenhouse at Okjong-myon, Hadong-gun, Gyeongnam province, Korea. Typical symptoms of angular leaf spot initially appeared as a minute, water-soaked, rotted lesion on the lower leaf surface and the minute spots expanded to form angular leaf spots, usually delimited by small veins. The lesion was translucent under the transmitted light and dark green under reflected light. The slow growing pathogen was a gram-negative, motile bacterium with single polar flagellum, and producing yellowish orange pigment on YDC medium. It showed very strong pathogenicity on the leaves of strawberry. On the basis of biological characteristics and pathogenicity test on host plants, the bacteria was identified as a Xanthomonas fragariae. This is the first report on angular leaf spot of strawberry caused by X. fragariae in Korea.
