The purpose of this study is the analyses of the relationship between geology and terrain/satellite image in the southern part of the Bandung, Indonesia to provide basic information fur geological survey. For this, topography, geology and satellite image were constructed to spatial database. Digital elevation, slope, aspect, curvature, hill shade of topography were calculated from the topographic database and lithology was imported from the geologi-cal database. Lineament, lineament density, and NDVI were extracted the Landsat TM satellite image. The results showed the close relationship between geology and terrain and satellited image. Each sedimentary rocks seldom correspond with geology and analyses of topography but as a whole fur sedimentary rocks coincide with them. Tuff and volcanic breccia in the volcanic rocks correspond with the result of terrain analyses. Talus deposit is well matched with the analyses of topography/satellite image.

In order to examine the primary trends and characteristics of geological lineaments along the southwestern boundary of Okcheon zone, we carried out the analysis of geological lineament trends over six selected sub-areas using Landsat-5 TM images and digital elevation model. The trends of lineaments is determined by a minimum variance method, and the resulting geological lineament map can be obtained through generalized Hough transform. We have corrected look direction biases reduces the interpretability of remotely sensed image. An approach of histogram modification is also adopted to extract drainage pattern specifically in alluvial plains. The lineament extracting method adopted in this study is very effective to analyze geological lineaments, and that helps estimate geological trends associated various with the tectonic events. In six sub-areas, the general trends of lineaments are characterized NW, NNW, NS-NNE, and NE directions. NW trends in Cretaceous volcanic rocks and Jurassic granite areas may represent tension joints that developed by rejuvenated end of the Early Cretaceous left-lateral strike-slip motion along the Honam Shear Zone, while NE and NS-NNE trends correspond to fault directions which are parallel to the above Shear Zone. NE and NW trends in Granitic Gneiss are parallel to the direction of schitosity, and NS-NNE and NE trends are interpreted the lineation by compressive force which acted by right-lateral strike-slip fault from late Triassic to Jurassic. And in foliated Granite, NE and NNE trends are coincided with directions of ductile foliation and Honam Shear Zone, and NW-NNW trends may be interpreted direction of another compressional foliation (Triassic to Early Jurassic) or end of the Early Cretaceous tensional joints. We interpreted NS-NNE direction lineation is related with the rejuvenated Chugaryung Fault System.

Nowadays, a satellite image is widely utilized in identifying and predicting urban spatial growth. It provides essential informations on horizontal expansion of urbanized areas. However, its usefulness becomes very limited in analyzing density of urban development. On the contrary, zonal data, typically census data, provides various density information such as population, number of houses, floor information within a given zone. The problem of the zonal data in analyzing urban growth is that the size of the zone is too big. The minimum administration unit, Dong, is too big to match the satellite images. This study tries to derive synergy effects by matching the merits of the two information sources-- image data and zonal data. For this purpose, basic statistical unit (census block size) is utilized as a zonal unit. By comparing the image and zonal data of 1985 and 2000 of Daegu metropolitan area, this study concludes that urban growth pattern is better explained when the two types of data are properly used.

KIGAM (Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources) launched a new project to develop the low-enthalpy geothermal water in the area showing high geothermal anomaly, north of Pohang city, for large-scale space heating from KORP (Korea Research Council of Public Science & Technology) funding. Surface geologic and geophysical surveys including Landsat TM image analysis, gravity, magnetic, Magnetotelluric (MT) and controlled-source audio-frequency MT (CSAMT) and self-potential (SP) methods have been conducted and the possible fracture zone was found that would serve as deeply connected geothermal water conduit. By the end of 2003, two test wells of 1 km depth will be drilled and various kinds of borehole survey along with additional MT measurements and sample analysis will follow and then the detailed subsurface condition is to be characterized. Next step would be drilling the production well of 2 km depth and all further steps remain to be determined depending upon the results of the test well studies.

This paper discusses the prediction of deforestation areas using probability models from forest census database, Geographic information system (GIS) database and the land cover database. The land cover data was analyzed using remotely-sensed (RS) data of the Landsat TM data from 1989 to 2001. Over the analysis period of 12 years, the deforestation area was about 40ha. Most of the deforestation areas were attributable to road construction and residential development activities. About 80% of the deforestation areas for residential development were found within 100m of the road network. More than 20% of the deforestation areas for forest road construction were within 100m of the road network. Geographic factors and vegetation change detection (VCD) factors were used in probability models to construct deforestation occurrence map. We examined the size effect of area partition as training area and validation area for the probability models. The Bayes model provided a better deforestation prediction rate than that of the regression model.

Eucalyptus plantations play a major role in the China's ecological, social, economic and other aspects and presently China is the second largest producer of Eucalyptus in the world next to Brazil. It was introduced as an ornamental tree during 1890 but later it became a commercial crop. During 1960s large number of Eucalyptus timber were used for railway sleepers and it was also used as shelter belt for rubber trees. It becomes one of the important national resources of commercial timber once the production reached to 5 million $m^{3}/yr$. Through Eucalyptus oil, it brought about 20% of foreign exchange. In the present study, it was aimed to estimate the Eucalyptus growing area in the southern Guangdong in China in terms of aerial extent and changes between 1991 and 2001 using Landsat TM and ETM+ data. Object based classification technique and subsequent temporal change detection analysis were followed to identify the changes between the periods. In the present study, the total area was divided into three classes viz., plantation area with trees, plantation area without trees and others. Object oriented classification was found to be more accurate in the present study. Overall increase of about 23.62 $km^{2}$ was noted between 1991 and 2001 in the plantation area. With reference to the present study area, the growth of Eucalyptus growing area was 7.4% in the 10 year periods. From this study it is clear that the area under Eucalyptus cultivation is growing considerably year by year in China. However, elaborate study must be conducted considering larger areas to accurately predict the growth of Eucalyptus growing areas.

The need to predict the rate of soil erosion, both under existing conditions and those expected to occur following soil conservation practice, has been led to the development of various models. In this study Morgan model especially developed for field-sized areas on hill slopes was applied to assess the rate of soil erosion using RS/GIS environment in the Dukchun river basin, one of two tributaries flowing into Jinyang lake. In order to run the model, land cover mapping was made by the supervised classification method with Landsat TM satellite image data, the digital soil map was generated from scanning and screen digitizing from the hard copy of soil maps, digital elevation map (DEM) in order to generate the slope map was made by the digital map (DM) produced by National Geographic Information Institute (NGII). Almost all model parameters were generated to the multiple raster data layers, and the map calculation was made by the raster based GIS software, IL WIS which was developed by ITC, the Netherlands. Model results show that the annual soil loss rates are 5.2, 18.4, 30.3, 58.2 and 60.2 ton/ha/year in forest, paddy fields, built-up area, bare soil, and upland fields respectively. The estimated rates seemed to be high under the normal climatic conditions because of exaggerated land slopes due to DEM generation using 100 m contour interval. However, the results were worthwhile to estimate soil loss in hilly areas and the more precise result could be expected when the more accurate slope data is available.

국립공원의 뛰어난 경승지와 생태적으로 보존가치가 높은 지역은 다음 세대에게 물려줄 국가의 귀중한 자원으로서 잘 보존되고 관리되어야 하나 한국의 국립공원에서는 공원의 자연환경을 해치는 개발행위가 이뤄졌거나 제안되고 있다. 이러한 개발행위를 효과적으로 평가하기 위해서는 관련 환경자원의 활용이 필요하고 특히 토지이용변화의 파악이 요구되나 한국의 국립공원은 적절한 토지이용도가 결여되어 있다. 그러므로, 본 연구의 목표는 토지이용변화도를 제작하여 향후 국립공원에서 제안되는 개발행위가 해당국립공원의 토지이용변화에 미친 영향을 파악함으로써 국립공원의 환경 및 경관 관리에 기여하는 데에 있다. 본 연구는 계룡산국립공원을 대상으로 1988년도부터 1998년까지의 토지이용변화를 파악하기 위해 원격탐사 자료를 이용하여 2개년도의 Landsat TM 영상을 기하보정하여 토지피복분류를 추출하였다. 이를 바탕으로 항공사진과 현지조사를 통해 확인하여 작성한 토지이용현황도와 토지이용변화도를 GIS에 입력하였으며 GIS의 분석기능을 이용하여 10년간의 토지이용변화에 대해 파악하였다. 토지이용변화 파악 결과, 농지와 나대지가 계룡산국림공원 전체에서 43.7ha, 102.2ha 각각 감소하였고 산림과 개발지는 121.Oha, 24.8ha. 각각 증가하였다. 산림의 증가는 1988년 영상분류당시 산림의 가장자리 유령림이 농경지로 분류되었던 것이 10년 뒤 영상에서는 산림으로 분류된 결과로 파악되며 개발지의 증가는 계룡산국립공원 동학사 제2집단시설지구의 개발로 기존 농경지가 감소, 전용되었고 나대지는 개발로 인해 감소되었다. 개발지의 증가는 취락지구와 집단시설지구에서 두드러졌으며 이들 두 지구에서 산림, 농경지, 나대지 모두 감소하고 대신 개발지가 증가하였다. 본 연구를 수행한 결과 계룡산 국립공원의 가장 큰 토지이용변화는 건물 신축이었으며 이는 집단시설지구의 신설에 기인하고 있다. 취락지구도 개발 행위가 증가하고 있어 집단시설지구와 취락지구의 이용후 평가가 이뤄져야 한다고 생각한다. 본 연구에서 작성한 토지이용변화도는 향후 국립공원의 경관 변화를 파악하는 데에 효과적으로 이용될 수 있다고 판단된다.

The purpose of this study is to estimate not only the watershed soil loss but also its temporal changes of Kyungan River basin, the study area, due to the land development. To analyze the soil loss of the river basin, USLE was employed. GIS and remote sensing were also utilized to estimate the soil loss. The data for this analysis consist of a series of thematic map and remotely sensed data. The remotely sensed images for this study are Landsat TM(Oct, 28, 1997 & Sep. 22, 1992), In Kyungan River basin, not only the detection of temporal changes of land use and GVI, but also the estimation of soil loss provided very significant factors that affect to the watershed environment quality. The management of the factors of vegetative cover, slope steepness and length were the keys to reduce soil loss and solve conservation and protection issues of Kyungan River basin. GIS application with USLE to the watershed analysis allows the planner to recognize sensitive sites and to plan strategies to minimize soil loss.
