Land cover changes associated with urbanization have driven climate change and pollution, which alter properties of ecosystems at local, regional, and continental scales. Thus, the relationships among urban ecological variables such as community composition, structure, health, soil and functioning need to be better understood to restore and improve urban ecosystems. In this study, we discuss urban ecosystem management and research from a futuristic perspective based on analyses of vegetation structure, composition, and successional trends, as well as the chemical properties of soils and the distribution of heat along an urban-rural gradient. Urban thermo-profile analysis using satellite images showed an obvious mitigating effect of vegetation on the Seoul heat island. Community attributes of Quercus mongolica stands reflected the effects of urbanization, such as pronounced increases in disturbance-related and pollution-tolerant species, such as Styrax japonica and Sorbus alnifolia. Retrogressive successional trends were detected in urban sites relative to those in rural sites. Changes in the urban climate and biotic environment have the potential to significantly influence the practice and outcomes of ecological management, restoration and forecasting because of the associated changes in future bio-physical settings. Thus, for management (i.e., creation and restoration) of urban green spaces, forward-thinking perspectives supported by historical information are necessary.

Since it is important to understand the bio-climatic change in Seoul for ecological city planning in the future, this paper gives an overview on bio-climate analysis of urban environments at Seoul. We analyzed its characteristics in recent years using the observations of 24 of Automatic Weather Station (AWS) by Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA). In urbanization, Seoul metropolitan area is densely populated and is concentrated with high buildings. This urban activity changes land covering, which modifies the local circulation of radiation, heat and moisture, precipitation and creating a specific climate. Urban climate is evidently manifested in the phenomena of the increase of the air temperature, called urban heat Island and in addition urban sqall line of heavy rain. Since a city has its different land cover and street structure, these form their own climate character such as climate comfort zone. The thermal fold in urban area such as the heat island is produced by the change of land use and the air pollution that provide the bio-climate change of urban eco-system. The urban wind flow is the most important climate element on dispersion of air pollution, thermal effects and heavy shower. Numerical modeling indicates that the bio-climatic transition of wind wake in urban area and the dispersion of the air pollution by the simulations of the wind variation depend on the urban land cover change. The winds are separately simulated on small and micro-scale at Seoul with two kinds of kinetic model, Witrak and MUKLIMO.

본 연구에서는 부산의 지난 25년간 장기적 토지피복변화를 조사하고, 이어서 지표면 온도와 기온자료를 이용해서 열섬포텐셜을 평가하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1975년부터 2000년까지 지난 25년 동안 부산의 도시면적은 2.5배 이상 증가하였다. 이처럼 단기간에 도시의 포장면적이 빠르게 증가한 것은 다른 나라에서는 유례를 찾아보기 어려운 우리나라 독특한 현상으로 판단된다. 이러한 과정을 통해서 도시열섬현상이 심화되었을 것이라는 것을 추정할 수 있었다. 지표면 피복에 따른 지표면 온도를 분석한 결과 도시화 지역과 산림지역의 온도가 현저히 차이가 나타났다. 특히 여름철에는 공단지역에서 $36{\sim}39^{\circ}C$로 높게 나타났으며, 반면 도시의 중심에 산지가 위치한 지역에서는 $22{\sim}24^{\circ}C$로 낮은 지표면 온도를 나타내었다. 토지피복도에 따른 열섬포텐셜은 지표면 피복 상태에 따라서 그 값이 달라짐을 알 수 있었다. 도시화지역 중 공업지역의 열섬포텐셜은 $6{\sim}8^{\circ}C$, 주거지역과 상업지역은 $0{\sim}5^{\circ}C$로 도시열섬을 유발할 가능성이 높음을 확인할 수 있었다. 반면 산림지역이나 농업지역 수변지역 열섬포텐셜 값은 $-6{\sim}-3^{\circ}C$로 나타났다. 본 연구결과를 통해 도시의 토지이용에 따른 기온상승효과를 평가하여 도시의 열환경 개선 및 환경친화적 도시개발 계획에 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

A fast running model comprising the climate change effects is proposed for urban heat environment simulations so as to be used in urban heat island studies and/or the urban planning practices. By combining Hot City Model, a high resolution urban temperature prediction model utilizing the Lagrangian particle tracing technique, and the numerical weather simulation data which are constructed up to year of 2100 under the climate change scenarios, an efficient model is constructed for simulating the future urban heat environments. It is applicable to whole city as well as to a small block area of an urban region, with the computation time being relatively short, requiring the practically manageable amount of the computational resources. The heat environments of the entire metropolitan Seoul area in South Korea are investigated with the aid of the model for the present time and for the future. The results showed that the urban temperature gradually increase up to a significant level in the future. The possible effects of green roofs on the buildings are also studied, and we observe that green roofs don't lower the urban temperature efficiently while making the temperature fields become more homogeneous.

기후변화로 인한 도시열환경 악화, 온열질환자 발생은 중요한 사회 문제 중 하나로 대두되었다. 이에 폭염 등의 기후변화에 관한 연구가 활발해졌으나 주로 기후요소에 집중되고 있다. 그러나 도시열섬현상은 여름철 폭염을 가속화시키며, 도시지역에서의 온열질환자가 급증하는 추세로 미루어 도시의 환경의 영향을 짐작할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 서울시와 경기도를 대상으로 도시지역의 물리적·사회적 특성이 온열질환자에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 분석을 위해 본 연구에서는 음이항회귀분석을 활용하였다. 분석 결과, 토지이용현황 중 주요열에너지방출원인 주거·상업·공업시설 연면적의 비율은 통계적으로 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타났지만, 도로면적과 녹지면적은 각각 양과 음의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 사회적 특성 변수에 포함된 인구밀도와 65세 이상 인구 비율, 독거노인 비율, 기초생활수급자 비율은 모두 유의한 것으로 나타났는데, 독거노인 비율과 인구밀도 비율만 음의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 연구의 결과는 지역별 온열질환자와 관련한 도시 정책적 대안을 마련하는데 활용할 수 있다.

Significant efforts are being devoted in mitigating the urban heat island effect, and extensive green roofs are an option for mitigation. The purpose of this study was to compare the surface temperature, vegetation types, and plant species on an extensive green roof. Test beds were created in May 2015, and the surface temperature was monitored from June to August. The test beds comprised polyculture and monoculture. Polyculture was divided into three types, and monoculture comprised eight plant species. An extensive green roof is effective in reducing temperature by forming a shade and preventing sunlight from falling on the surface of buildings, which mitigates the urban heat island effect. Consequently, the surface temperature of the green roof and that of concrete during summer reduced from $17.8^{\circ}C$ to $7.3^{\circ}C$. The temperature reduction was greater on using polyculture than on using monoculture, but monocultures of Sedum takesimense, Hemerocallis dumortieri, Allium senescens, Aster yomena, Belamcanda chinensis, and Aster koraiensis also produced good results. The temperature reduction effects of Polygonatum odoratum var. pluriflorum f. variegatum, Phlox subulata, and Thymus quinquecostatus var. japonica were excellent compared with those of concrete but were less than those of other plant species. Careful attention is needed for the management of extensive green roofs. Studies on the plant species and types of extensive green roof should continue to mitigate the urban heat island effect.

The urban thermal environment can be an important index to detect heat island phenomena and manage it to improve urban life quality. Cheongju is a typical plain-city that main part has been formed and developed in lowland. The Mushim stream crosses the city from south to north. We reviewed the use of thermal remote sensing in stream around areas and the thermal environments, focusing primarily on the Urban Heat Island(UHI) effect. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between the stream nearby urban area and the stream cooling effect of UHI. The objectives are to determine the usefulness of KOMPSAT-2 bands MS3 and MS4 for vegetation cover mapping, and the usefulness of LANDSAT TM band 6 in identifying thermal environmental characteristics and UHI. Land Surface Temperatures (LST) are retrieved by single-channel algorithm to study the UHI from the 6th band (thermal infrared band) of LANDSAT TM images and thermal radiance thermometer based on remote sensing method and the LST distribution maps are accomplished according to the retrieval results. There is also comparison of satellite-derived and in situ measured temperature. The results indicated that the LST of urban center is higher than that of suburban area, the temperature of mountain and water are the lowest area, so it is clearly proved that there are obvious UHI effects by stream. The surface temperature distribution of Mushim stream is detected $2^{\circ}C$ lower than urban area.

To meet with the nation's policy of Green Growth, local governments are rushing to propose an ecological urban development plan. And although various studies stress on the need of ecological planning to harmonize development with preservation, we have come to a point in which a quantitative evaluation of how much ecological planning contributes to the environmental load is needed. Through the increasing tendency of making plans based on the development of IT technology, capability of gathering environmental data and scientific instrument, studies on ecological planning's effect towards environmental load has recently begun. This study aims to perform a quantitative evaluation on how ecological planning mitigate urban heat island in the region of Namyang-ju Wallsanli. Three theories were used to mitigate urban heat island ; White network, Green network and Blue network. As a result, the atmosphere temperature was reduced the whole site $1.1^{\circ}C$ and partly $7^{\circ}C$ and the mean radiant temperature was reduced the whole site $1.1^{\circ}C$ and partly $8.7^{\circ}C$ on the modified ecological landscape plan in summer. The PMV index is 0~1 in ecologically modified landscape plan otherwise almost 3 in landscape plan. This study has its limits on the fact that results may differ from the actual plan as the study was performed based on the land use plan and building plan. However, what is important is that it shows a quantitative result of the effect that ecological planning has on surrounding environment and reducing environmental load.

The street trees increase the liveability of cities by reducing stormwater runoff, improving air quality, storing carbon, providing shade, and ameliorating the urban heat-island effect. In this study, the health status of street trees in Suwon was evaluated, and the factors affecting the growth of the trees were also derived. In order to evaluate the growth and health of street trees, field survey was carried out on a total of 125 trees in 25 sections of the Deogyeong-daero where is through the city. During the field survey, the following items were examined: Street trees health status (i.e. species, height, DBH (diameter at breast height), planting types, vigor, etc.), soil factors (i.e. soil temperature, humidity, pH, hardness, etc.), and environmental factors (i.e. landuse, road width, etc.). As the results of field survey, the main species of the street trees was Zelkova serrata, which was healthy in most of the sections. The factors such as planting types, soil temperatures, tree root cover, road extension, distance from the road were derived to affect the growth and health of street trees, and the differences were significant. The results of this study were derived the following conclusions for vigorous street trees: First, it is important to install and maintain the protection facilities like tree root cover for the growth of trees. Second, it is necessary to discuss how to plant multiple trees in narrow spaces like a street green space. Third, it is important to provide appropriate soil conditions continuously for growth of threes. Finally, it should be utilized as a mitigation measure of urban heat island effects.

도시 열섬현상을 완화하기 위하여 본 연구는 아파트 단지 내 바람의 흐름과 열쾌적성을 고려하여 녹지 연결성을 향상시키기 위한 효과적인 녹지 계획 시나리오를 제안하는 것에 있다. 연구의 사례 대상지는 서울특별시를 대상으로 2020년 6월부터 8월까지 수집된 온도 및 불쾌지수 자료를 비교하여 강동구 고덕동에 위치한 아파트 단지로 선정하였다. 먼저, 연구대상지 현재의 열환경과 바람환경을 분석하였다. 이를 바탕으로 녹지의 패치와 코리도 형태의 요소를 고려하여 시나리오 1(패치), 시나리오 2(코리도), 시나리오 3(패치+ 코리도)의 세 가지 시나리오를 계획하였다. 이후, 각각의 시나리오별 풍속, 풍향, 그리고 열쾌적성을 ENVI-met로 분석하여 도시 열섬현상의 완화효과를 비교하였다. 연구의 결과, 패치 형태의 녹지는 풍속의 증가 및 풍량 개선에 기여하여 예상온열감(PMV)가 31.20% 감소하는 효과를 보였으며(시나리오 1), 열쾌적성 지표(PET)가 68.59%감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 코리도 형태의 녹지로 계획한 경우 바람길의 연결이 용이하여 패치 형태의 녹지 계획에 비하여 풍속이 더욱 높아지는 결과가 나타나 예상온열감(PMV)은 92.47%, 열쾌적성 지표(PET)는 90.14% 감소하였다 (시나리오 2). 녹지 패치와 녹지 코리도를 복합적으로 계획한 경우 가장 큰 풍속의 증가와 연결성을 보여 예상온열감(PMV)에서 95.75%, 열쾌적성 지표(PET)에서 95.35% 감소하는 것으로 나타났다(시나리오 3). 그러나 대상지 내에서 협소한 지역의 경우 패치형 녹지계획이 코리도형의 녹지 계획에 비하여 열쾌적성을 개선하는 데에 더 효과적으로 나타났다. 따라서, 연구의 결과에 근거하여 도시열섬현상을 효과적으로 완화하기 위해서는 패치형태의 녹지와 코리도 형태의 녹지의 계획의 복합적인 형태로 계획될 수 있도록 제안하고자 한다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 도시형 아파트단지의 도시열섬현상 완화를 위한 녹지계획의 가이드를 제시하여 도시열섬현상에 따른 회복력을 향상시키기 위한 기초자료를 제시할 수 있을 것이다.
