Climate change effects are particularly apparent in many cool-season grasslands in South Korea. Moreover, the probability of climate extremes has intensified and is expected to increase further. In this study, we performed climate change vulnerability assessments in cool-season grasslands based on the analytic hierarchy process method to contribute toward effective decision-making to help reduce grassland damage caused by climate change and extreme weather conditions. In the analytic hierarchy process analysis, vulnerability was found to be influenced in the order of climate exposure (0.575), adaptive capacity (0.283), and sensitivity (0.141). The climate exposure rating value was low in Jeju-do Province and high in Daegu (0.36-0.39) and Incheon (0.33-0.5). The adaptive capacity index showed that grassland compatibility (0.616) is more important than other indicators. The adaptation index of Jeollanam-do Province was higher than that of other regions and relatively low in Gangwon-do Province. In terms of sensitivity, grassland area and unused grassland area were found to affect sensitivity the most with index values of 0.487 and 0.513, respectively. The grassland area rating value was low in Jeju-do and Gangwon-do Province, which had large grassland areas. In terms of vulnerability, that of Jeju-do Province was lower and of Gyeongsangbuk-do Province higher than of other regions. These results suggest that integrating the three aspects of vulnerability (climate exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity) may offer comprehensive and spatially explicit adaptation plans to reduce the impacts of climate change on the cool-season grasslands of South Korea.

In this study, we monitored the status of marine environment of olive flounder, Paralichythys olivaceus, culture ground in Jeju-do, Republic of Korea. It reported the consumption of raw olive flounder meat containing of Kudoa, Kudoa septempunctata, could induce vomitting and diarrhea in Japan. The Kudoa is a new mycosporean species, researchers found Kudoa from the muscles of olive flounder cultured at western Japan and imported from Jeju-do. We choose two Kudoa positive farms and two negative farms in the mid of concern about the relation between Kudoa and habitat. We found two marine invasive species at the water-pumping seabed at one of the Kudoa positive farm. The concentration of pH and DO at on-growing flounder farms showed the decreasing pattern along side the raceway (influent sea waters > on growing sea waters > outfluent sea waters). The TN and TP values increased gradually following to the raceway (influent sea waters < on growing sea waters < outfluent sea waters). The concentration of COD and SS were in the range of $0.100-2.581mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$, $1.00-12.70mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$, respectively. The calculated residence time was 4hr 32minutes at F1, 11hr 21minutes at F2, and 9hr 50minutes at F3, respectively. It was calculated same distance of 4 km away from effluent pipes. Although direct relation between Kudoa and marine environment could not define well based on this study result, the more studies on marine environmental stressors for olive flounder are required to conduct as a reliable method including socio-economic group and environmental group.

In this study, the evaluation standard for nitrate nitrogen contamination degree (WELCUP) was established using six factors that influence the groundwater quality in Jeju Island. To do this, weightings, ranges, and ratings were assigned for each factor and the relative possibility of nitrate nitrogen contamination degree was evaluated using WELCUP index for each well. As a result of calculating the WELCUP index using groundwater quality data of 5,112 wells in Jeju Island for 27 years (1993-2019), all 61 wells with the WELCUP index value higher than 100 are distributed in Daejung and Hangyung watershed with relatively large area of farmland in Jeju Island. In particular, as the ratio of private wells is more than 64%, it is necessary that systematic management is needed for private wells in terms of nitrate nitrogen contamination. Consequently, based on the results of applying the WELCUP evaluation standard, it is necessary to select the prioritization of nitrate nitrogen contamination pathways project for groundwater wells in Jeju Island.

This study reports, for the first time, the ivestigation of the distribution of Korean saxicolous lichens in the coastal rocks of U-do islet, which is known as an unpolluted zone in Jeju. More than thirty lichens were obtained and investigated from the coastal rocks frequently contacted by seawater. A molecular analysis using PCR amplification of the rRNA ITS regions revealed the coastal rock lichens could be placed into 8 families and 14 genera, Ramalinaceae (Bacidia, Ramalina), Physciaceae (Buellia, Dirinaria, Phaeophyscia, Physcia, Pyxine), Lecanoraceae (Candelaria, Lecanora), Parmeliaceae (Xan­thopannelia), Graphidaceae (Graphis), Pertusariaceae (Pertusaria), Rhizocarpaceae (Rhizocarpon), and Teloschistaceae (Caloplaca), showing a diversity of lichens, with foliose (flat leaf-like), crustose (crust­like), and fruticose (miniature shrub-like) life forms might be distributed in the coastal rocks. These findings suggested the possibility that the lichens identified in the present work might be resistant to a salty environment.

Leptolyngbya sp. KIOST-1 (LK1) is a newly isolated cyanobacterium that shows no obvious cytotoxicity and contains high protein content for both human and animal diets. However, only limited information is available on its toxic effects. The purpose of this study was to validate the safety of LK1 powder. Following Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) guidelines, a single-dose oral toxicity test in Sprague Dawley rats was performed. Genotoxicity was assessed using a bacterial reverse mutation test with Salmonella typhimurium (strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, and TA1537) and Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA, an in vitro mammalian chromosome aberration test using Chinese hamster lung cells, and an in vivo mammalian erythrocyte micronucleus test using Hsd:ICR (CD-1) SPF mouse bone marrow. After LK1 administration (2,500 mg/kg), there were no LK1-related body weight changes or necropsy findings. The reverse mutation test showed no increased reverse mutation upon exposure to 5,000 ㎍/plate of the LK1 powder, the maximum tested amount. The chromosome aberration test and micronucleus assay demonstrated no chromosomal abnormalities and genotoxicity, respectively, in the presence of the LK1 powder. The absence of physiological findings and genetic abnormalities suggests that LK1 powder is appropriate as a candidate biomass to be used as a safe food ingredient.

2014년 제주도가 말 산업특구 1호로 지정된 후, 2015년에는 경기도 이천, 용인과 함께 경상북도가 말 산업특구로 추가 지정되면서 제주도는 이제 더 이상 말의 고장이라는 수식어는 사라지게 되었다, 또한, 환경 및 접근성으로 인해 타 지자체와의 경쟁력에서도 뒤쳐질 수도 있으며, 과거에 회자되었던 "사람이 태어나면 서울로 보내고, 말이 태어나면 제주도로 보내라"라는 말은 머나먼 속담 같은 옛말이 되어버렸다. 하지만, 제주도는 말 산업특구 1호로 지정되면서 제주도가 우리나라 말 산업육성의 선도지역으로 역할을 수행할 것을 기대하고 있으며, 말 산업을 6차 산업으로 육성한 모범적 사례를 창출해야 하는 과제를 안게 되었다. 또한 말 산업특구 진흥계획에 의해 2017년 까지 엘리트 국산 경주마 공급, 승마 수요기반 확충, 마육 산업 육성 등 9개 분야 35개 사업에 1142억 원을 투자해 나갈 계획이다. 그러나 시설확충과 승마 저변 확대에 나서고 있지만, 현장에서는 정책 지원이 피부에 와 닿지 않고 사업 집행의 효율성이 떨어진다는 의견이 제기되었고, 과도한 규제로 인한 승마시설의 공급부족과 승마 수요확대의 한계 등 많은 문제점들의 노출로 인하여 말 산업 성장의 제약요인으로 작용하고 있으며, 말 산업이 발전되기 위해서 말의 사육, 승마시설의 설치 등 각종 말 산업 관련 투자에 대한 규제가 완화되어야 하는데, 발전을 저해하는 가장 큰 규제로는 농어촌 승마시설의 농지설치 규제 개선과 함께 이를 통해 무허가로 운영 중인 승마시설들을 양성화하여 승마산업의 질적 성장을 도모해야 한다. 아울러 단순히 체험하는 관광형승마가 아닌 정기적으로 안전하고 건전한 레저승마를 즐길 수 있도록 정책과 안전관리가 필요하며, 승마자격을 갖춘 지도사양성과 배치에 노력을 기울여야 할 것으로 사료된다.

This research aimed to identify transition process of invigoration project of the small-scale schools and status of promoting project of multi-family housing for rental and vacant housing remodeling in Jeju-do, Korea. The results are followings. First, invigoration project of the small-scale schools had been started in villages communities themselves and was institutionalized to local government. To invigorate the small-scale schools was started vacant housing remodeling first in the village itself from 1992. After twenty years had passed, the project was institutionalized to local government in 2013. Second, to enact ordinances about invigoration project of the small-scale schools is the accomplishment of participations and activities of residents who predicted decreasing the number of students in elementary schools. These activities have influenced their communities positively. Finally, to supply multi-family housing for rental or to remodel vacant housing is more effective in increasing residents through influx of students of elementary schools. The average number of students increased from 56.8 in 2013 to 73 in 2018 in 30 elementary schools targeted for invigoration project of the small-scale schools. In particular, the effect in schools targeted the project of rental housing is shown more than schools targeted the project in vacant housing remodeling. In addition, low ratio in the number of closed school is shown in Jeju-do.
