  • The loss, alteration, and fragmentation of habitat have led to a reduction of biodiversity. The growing awareness of the negative effects of habitat fragmentation on natural systems has resulted in conservation strategy that is concerned with not only population and habitat level but also ecosystem and landscape level. Especially, ecological network to link core areas or major habitat patches is one of the most important issues. Recently, landscape connectivity is increasingly used in decision making for fragmented landscape management in order to conserve the biodiversity in the regional scale. The objective of this study was to find potential forest as a ecological corridor in Go-yang city, Gyung-gi province using cost-distance modelling method that can measure connectivity based on animal movement. 'Least cost-distance' modelling based on functional connectivity can be useful to establish ecological network and biodiversity conservation plan. This method calculates the distance modified with the cost to move between habitat patches based on detailed geographical information on the landscape as well as behavioural aspects of the animal movement. The least cost-distance models are based on two biologically assumptions: (1) dispersers have complete knowledge of their surroundings, and (2) they do select the least cost route from this information. As a result of this study, we can find wildlife moving route for biodiversity conservation. The result is very useful for long-term aspect of biodiversity conservation plan in regional scale, because this is reflection of geographical information and behavioural aspects of the animal movement.

  • 오늘날 지속가능한 발전의 주요 목적으로서 환경의 효과적 보호와 신중한 자연자원의 이용이 강조된다. 이와 같은 목적들을 성취하기 위해서 종합적인 경관 정보가 필수적이다. 한국의 경우, 도시화는 전통적인 농촌 경관 변화, 산림 손실과 단편화 등 많은 환경 문제를 야기했다. 특히 산림이 높은 생물 다양성 가치를 갖고 있는 한국으로서는 산림 손실과 단편화는 생태관점에서 보면 아주 치명적이다. 현재 개인 또는 공공 부분 개발 프로젝트를 위한 환경 영향 평가의 일부분으로 시각 경관 영향 평가가 요구된다. 그러나 이런 시각 경관 영향 평가는 단지 전체 경관의 일부분의 경관 정보만을 제공하고, 특히 현재 경관 평가에서는 경관의 생물 다양성 가치를 평가하지 않는다. 본 연구는 이와 같은 문제점들을 극복하고 한국 상황에 맞는 지속가능한 경관 계획을 위한 필수적인 종합 경관 정보를 제공하기 위해서, 경관 특성과 생물 다양성 가치 평가를 위한 생태 이질성 지수를 결합한 진보된 경관 특성 평가 방법론을 제시하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이 방법론을 통해 경관 특성 평가에서 12가지 경관 특성 유형(type)을 분류하였고 그것의 분포, 경관 특성적 형태, 경관 특성에 부정적인 영향을 줄 수 있는 개발 압력 등을 분석하고 서술하였다. 분석 결과, 주택과 산업 단지 개발, 농지 형질 패턴 변경, 수변 공간 개발 등이 주요 개발 압력으로 나타났다. 경관 생태 이질성 평가 결과에서는 도시근교 지역과 농촌 경관 특성 유형 지역에서 잠재적 생물 다양성 가치가 높았다. 산림 지역 경관 특성 유형에서는 잠재적 생물 다양성 가치가 중간 수치로 나온 반면 도시 경관 특성 유형에서의 잠재적 생물 다양성 가치는 아주 낮았다. 비록 제한된 데이터와 경관 생태 이질성 지수 사용으로 인한 문제점들(스케일 종속적, 변화 패턴이 예측하기 힘든 지수, 자의적인 분류시 다른 결과 발생, 더 종합적인 생물 다양성 잠재력을 평가하기 위해서는 더 많은 다른 경관 생태 지수 필요 등)이 제기되었지만, 이 연구에서 제시된 진보된 경관 특성 평가 방법론을 통해 얻은 종합적인 경관 정보가 지속가능한 경관계획을 할 때 어떻게 잘 활용되어질 수 있는지 예로써 증명하였다. 그 결과 진보된 경관 특성 평가 방법론이 지속가능한 경관 계획을 위한 수단으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

  • The materials that are involved in urban landscaping include plants and the associated animals, soil, water, and other environmental elements. And biodiversity is the substantial base for human beings. The conservation of biodiversity is of great importance in the sustainable development of the society and should not be neglected in the development of sustainable urban landscape. The conservation of biodiversity should be included in the urban landscape planning. The conservation of biodiversity should be emphasized in the construction of urban green space. Every possible opportunity should be used to conserve the species diversity, genetic diversity and ecological diversity. The assessment of biodiversity conservation should be introduced into modern landscape planning.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of natural landscapes in the context of work environments. The study examined the impact of natural landscapes on urban office workers' stress reduction and cognitive performance, using physiological, psychological, and cognitive measures. One-hundred-twenty urban office workers participated in the experiments. The physiological measures used were GSR (galvanic skin response) and IBI (interbeat interval), and the psychological measure was ZIPERS (Zucherman Inventory of Personal Reactions). Cognitive performance was measured using a mental arithmetic test that had been developed by a pretest. The results from the physiological, psychological, and cognitive measures converged to indicate that the natural landscape had more beneficial effects in relieving both psychological and physiological stress and in enhancing cognitive performance of the of office workers than the city landscape. The results suggest wide applications in the fields of workers' well-being and landscape research. First, the results can provide reliable information for promoting natural landscaping in work places in order to relieve worker stress and enhance cognitive performance. Second, the results provide an example for future empirical landscape research using multiple measurements, such as psychological, physiological, and cognitive tests. Third, they can foster experimental research to investigate the relationship between stress reduction and natural landscapes.

  • Comprehensive assessment of ecological riparian zone is to analyze and evaluate the status of riparian zone ecosystem. The existing problem of the ecosystem can be found through the assessment. The AHP-FUZZY method used in the assessment is based on the hierarchy model of index, grade model of object, and attribution degree of index. Accordingly, the four models have been discussed and presented from the aspect of the stability, landscape, eco-health and eco-safety of riparian zone.

  • 본 연구에서는 서식지 질적 평가에 대한 추진체계를 6단계로 구분하고, 평가 대상지 선정 방법과 서식지 질적 평가 항목을 제시하였다. 서식지 질적 평가 항목은 서식지의 건강성, 안정성, 단절화 및 파편화 정도, 서식지 적합성, 위협 정도 등에 대한 종합적인 평가가 가능하도록 구성되었다. 그러나 현시점에서는 자료부족으로 인하여 서식지 질적 평가 체계가 적용 가능한 멸종위기종이 극히 일부에 해당된다. 서식지 질적 평가 체계는 향후 멸종위기종들에 관한 서식환경자료가 축적되고 이를 기반으로 평가항목들에 대한 정량적 기준 및 가중치가 부여되면 멸종위기종별 주요 서식지에 대한 보전방안 마련에 크게 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

  • To determine nocturnal inversion characteristics at the leeward side of high-rise building, air temperature data were observed at 10 minute interval from February 22, 2010 to April 15, 2010. The observed data were compared, analyzed and examined to illustrate air temperature differences between the roof (XAR) and surface (XAG) of X apartment. The wind speed, wind direction and precipitation data were also observed at XAR and YJL (Yangjae Stream) sites at the same time. After the analysis, the maximum nocturnal inversion was observed by $4.0^{\circ}C$ at 3:40, 3:50, 4:10 on February 24th 2010, at that time the weather condition was clear and weak wind. Air temperature inversions at the leeward side of high-rise building were observed on whole day in wintertime and air temperature inversion intensity was also higher than other nearby area (SMG).

  • The watersheds are functional geographical areas that integrate a variety of environmental and ecological processes and human impacts on landscapes. Geographical assessments using GIS recognize the relationship between interdependence of resources and ecological/environmental components in watersheds. They are useful methodology for viable long term natural resource management. This paper performs through the using hydrological analyses, landscape ecological analyses, remote sensing, and GIS. Indicators are items or measures that represent key components of the small watersheds, and they are developed to be evaluated. Some indicators are described that they represent watershed condition and trend as well as focus on physical, biological and chemical properties of small watershed. Also, ecological functions such as stability, resilience, and sensitivity are inferred from them. The model implemented in GIS allows to reflect the ecological and hydrological functioning of watershed. Methodology from image analysis, landscape ecological analysis, spatial interpolation, and numerical process modeling are integrated within GIS to provide assessment for eco-logical/environmental condition. Results are described from the small watershed of Gwynns Falls in Baltimore County and Baltimore City, Maryland, an area of about 66.5 square miles. The small watershed within Gwynns Falls watershed are subject to a number of land-use. But it is predominantly urban, with significantly lesser amounts of forest and agriculture. The increasing urbanization is ass-coiated with ecological/environmental impacts and citizen conflicts.

  • Global warming due to the climate change causes environmental problems such as urban heat island (UHI), air pollutant deposition, urban heavy rainfall, etc. Urban stream plays an important role on mitigating UHI as open space as well as an ecological corridor in urban area. In order to investigate the wind characteristics of urban stream in the case of Yangjae Stream at Daechi-dong, Gangnam-gu in Seoul, the wind direction and wind speed data were observed and analyzed using a propellor type RM-Young wind monitor. The results show that the prevailing wind direction was southwest. However, easterly wind is the prevailing one between 8:00 and 12:00. Strong wind whose Beaufort scale is four or more blew frequently from 12:00 to 18:00. In terms of seasonal frequency, the spring shows the highest frequency, then winter was the next.
