Neutral genetic diversity found in plant species usually leaves an indelible footprint of historical events. Korea's main mountain range (referred to as the Baekdudaegan [BDDG]), is known to have served as a glacial refugium primarily for the boreal and temperate flora of northeastern Asia. In addition, life-history traits (life forms, geographic range, and breeding systems) influence the within- and among-population genetic diversity of seed plant species. For example, selfing species harbor significantly less within-population genetic variation than that of predominantly outcrossers. A previous study of two Liparis species (L. makinoana and L. kumokiri) emphasizes the role of the abovementioned factors shaping the levels of genetic diversity. Liparis makinoana, mainly occurring on the BDDG and self-incompatible, harbors high levels of within-population genetic diversity (expected heterozygosity, H_eP = 0.319), whereas there is no allozyme variation (H_eP = 0.000) in L. kumokiri, which is self-compatible and mainly occurs in lowland hilly areas. To determine if this trend is also found in other congeners, we sampled five populations of L. krameri from the southern part of the Korean Peninsula and investigated the allozyme-based genetic diversity at 15 putative loci. The somewhat intermediate levels of within-population genetic variation (H_eP = 0.145) found in L. krameri are most likely due to its occurrence in mountainous areas that, despite being outside of the main ridge of the BDDG, still served as refugia, and a self-incompatible breeding system. Management strategies are suggested for L. krameri and L. makinoana based on the levels and distribution of genetic diversity and inbreeding.

우리나라 하천의 대부분은 산지에서 발원하며 전 국토의 약 70%가 산지하천 유역에 포함된다. 최근 기후변화로 인해 여름철 집중호우가 증가하고 있는 상황에서 강우의 예측이 어렵고 경사가 급한 산지하천 유역의 피해가 가중되고 있으며 산지하천의 강우를 정량적으로 파악하고 상시 모니터링 할 수 있는 체계의 구축이 요구된다. 한국건설기술연구원(2011)에서는 산지 하천유역 모니터링 시스템을 구축하여 재해위험지역의 현장관측시스템과 레이더강우를 기반으로 하는 강우유출 시스템을 연계운영하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 하천유역 모니터링 시스템을 통해 수집되고 있는 강원도 인제군 가리산리의 관측강우량을 이용해 산지하천유역의 강우특성을 분석하고 산지유역의 강우추정을 위한 레이더 자료의 활용성을 제시하였다. 대상유역인 가리산천 유역을 대상으로 작성된 티센 면적평균 강우량과 기상레이더를 이용한 레이더 강우량에서 가리산리 관측시스템 위치의 픽셀을 추출한 후 각각의 방법으로 추정된 강우량이 관측값과 어떤 차이를 갖고 있는가를 비교하였다. 또한, 모니터링 사이트 주위의 AWS를 이용해 레이더 강우를 보정한 후 동일한 방법으로 관측강우 위치의 셀 강우를 비교하여 레이더 강우의 보정 효과를 제시하였다. 연구결과 600m 이상의 고지대에 위치한 현장관측시스템의 강우는 고도가 낮은 인근 강우관측소와 큰 차이를 나타냈으며 티센면적 평균 강우의 경우 산지하천의 강우특성을 반영하기에 한계가 있는 것으로 판단되었다. 레이더 강우 역시 실제 관측강우량에 비해 과소추정되며 대상유역 주변의 AWS를 이용해 보정한 레이더 보정강우를 활용시 현장관측시스템의 강우가 가장 유사한 결과가 도출되었다. 본 연구를 통해 산지하천 유역의 강우특성을 파악하기 위해서는 지상관측소와 레이더 자료를 병행하여 활용하는 것이 필요하며 산지하천유역의 강우를 효과적으로 모니터링 하기 위해서는 고도에 따른 관측망의 구성이 필요할 것으로 판단되었다.

Given the mountainous nature of Korea, cutting slopes are bound to happen. Every you, slope failures lead to enormous human and material losses. More recently, reckless development and subsequent degradation of forests has brought about soil erosion, which coupled with heavy rainfall, contaminates rivers, raises the level of river bottoms and thereby deteriorates their discharge capacity. In Korea, environmental impact assessments and disaster impact assessments have been conducted to come up with proper countermeasures. In order to perform quantitative analysis for this purpose, reliable slope information is quintessential. This study aims to obtain slope-related digital images using an RC model helicopter with a non-metric camera embedded, and to process these images to gain more accurate slope information. To this end, digital images obtained regarding cutting slopes were processed to gain numerical information of slopes and, on the basis of slope information gained here, reliable soil erosion factors were estimated.

In the recent years, due to long-lasting heavy rainfall events, a large number of landslides have been observed in the mountainous area of the world. Such landslides can also form a dam as it blocks the course of a river, which may burst and cause a catastrophic flood. Numerical analysis of landslide dam formation is rarely available, while laboratory experimental studies often use assumed shape to analyze the landslide dam failure and flood hydraulics in downstream. In this study, both experimental and numerical studies have been carried out to investigate the formation of landslide dam. Two case laboratory experiments were conducted in two flumes simultaneously. The first flume (2.0 m 0.6 m 0.5 m) was set at $22^{\circ}$ and $27^{\circ}$ slope to generate the landslide using rainfall intensity of 70.0 mm/hr. On the other hand, the second flume (1.5 m 0.25 m 0.3 m) was set perpendicularly at the downstream end of the first flume to receive the landslide mass forming landslide dam. The formation of landslide dam was observed at $15^{\circ}$ slope of the second flume. The whole processes including the landslide initiation and movement of the landslide mass into the second channel was captured by three digital cameras. In numerical analysis, a two-dimensional (2D) seepage flow model, a 2D slope stability model (Spencer method) and a 2D landslide dam-geometry evaluation model were coupled as a single unit. This developed model can determine the landslide occurrence time, the failure mass and the geometry of landslide dam deposited in the second channel. The data obtained from numerical simulation results has good agreement with the experimental measurements.

우리나라는 전 국토의 70%가 산지이고 하천경사가 다른 나라에 비해 상대적으로 급하여 홍수 관리에 매우 불리한 조건을 가지고 있으며, 특히 홍수기간의 집중호우 및 돌발홍수는 인명과 재산의 막대한 피해를 입히고 있다. 최근은 기후변화의 영향으로 집중호우 및 돌발홍수는 증가하는 추세에 있다. 이것은 홍수의 위험성 및 자연재해의 발생을 증대시키므로 이에 대한 하천유역 단위의 홍수량 예측 및 재해방지를 위한 설계기법의 개선과 개발, 신뢰성 있는 수문정보 획득을 위한 정밀 수문조사는 매우 필요한 상황이다. 기후변화에 대응하기 위한 수문조사의 방향은 새로운 국면에 접하였다고 볼 수 있다. 기존의 수문조사 방법을 통해 획득했던 수문량의 초과치를 벗어난 극대값의 수문량 관측 및 측정을 극복하는 문제, 홍수량 산정 및 예측을 위한 새로운 설계기법의 개발 또는 기존 방법의 개선 등 문제 해결을 위한 방향이 모색되어야 한다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서는 중 소규모 유역 단위를 대상으로 지속적이고 신뢰성 있는 자료의 획득과 축적이 중요하나 시 공간적으로 모두 충족된 수문자료를 획득하기에는 불가능한 일이다. 따라서, 중 소규모 유역 단위의 대표성 있는 Test-bed 유역(설마천 유역/차탄천 유역)의 운영이 요구되며, 이를 통하여 얻어진 수문자료는 상기에 기술한 문제를 해결 가능하게 한다. Test-bed 유역에서 생성되는 수문자료에는 강우량, 하천수위, 지하수위 및 기상 등의 관측자료와 유량측정성과 자료가 있다. 관측된 수문자료를 이용하여 강우-유출량 분석, 증발산량 분석, 지하수함양량 분석 등 기본적인 수문특성을 분석하였다. 홍수량 예측 설계기법 개선으로는 홍수도달시간 산정방법을 검토하였으며, 최대강우강도-도달시간관계를 이용하여 도달시간을 개발하였다. 그리고 RDAPS 예측강우량과 수문모형을 이용하여 홍수량을 예측할 수 있는 시스템을 구축하였다. 유역 단위의 수문조사를 통해 생성된 수문자료는 다양한 분석과 설계에 응용되므로 지속적인 Test-bed 유역의 운영은 매우 필요한 실정이다.

In Korea, more than 60% of the whole lands are mountainous area. Since many decades ago, hydroelectric power plants have been constructed and eco-friendly energy has been produced. Hydropower can cope with the rapidly changing energy supply and demand, and produce eco-friendly energy. However, when the reservoir is built, it is often inevitable to damage the environment due to construction of large structure. In this study, the optimal reservoir operation model was developed to maximize power generation by monthly operation for long-term operation planning. The dam operation model was developed using the linear programming which is widely used in the optimal resources allocation problems. And the reservoir operation model can establish monthly operation plan for 1 year. Linear programming requires both object function and constraints to be linear. However, since the power generation equation is nonlinear, it is linearized using the Taylor Expansion technique. The optimization results were compared with the 2009-2018 historical data of five hydropower reservoirs. As a result, the total optimal generation is about 10~37% higher than the historical generation.

In meteorology Korea has 2/3 of rain of annual total rainfall at the month of Jun through Sept and it has possibility to have serious flood damage because geographically it is composed of mountainous area with steep slope which account for 70% of its country. Also, the increase of impervious layer due to industrialization and urbanization causes direct runoff, which deteriorates contamination of rivers by moving the contaminated material on the surface at the beginning of rain. In particular, the area of leisure facilities needs the management of water quality absolutely because dense population requires space of park function and place to relax and increases moving capability of non-point pollution source. For disposition of rainfall & runoff, the standard of initial rainfall, which is to be used for the computation of disposition volume, is significant factors for the runoff study of non-point pollution source, Until now, a great deal of study has been done by many researchers. However, it is the current reality that the characteristics of runoff varies according to land protection comprising river basin and the standard of initial rainfall by each researcher is not clearly defined yet. Therefore, in this research, it is suggested that, with the introduction of SOM (Self-Organizing Map), the standard of initial rainfall be determined after analyzing each sectional data by executing pattern classification about runoff and water quality data measured at the test river basin for this research.

This study, the one concerning the evaluation analysis of the function of the wind generation using KLAM_21, has examined closely how the wind really flows on the space of the city, working with the object of case location. In the first place, the cold air formed at upper stream of Sincheon river, a ravine of whole area of Gachang gully and an inclined plane of neighboring mountainous district, flows to the north and expands itself along the upper stream of the Sincheon river, and as the time passes, it is tending upwards in the change of the volume and height as well as of the velocity and direction, of the cold air. It was learned that this phenomenon has made it clear that the spatial features of this area give rise to very good condition in generating and flowing the cold air. Meanwhile, it has been shown that in the area of park in the Ap-mountain, the generation and flow of the cold air are much interrupted because of the overpass traversing the whole area of the park of Ap-mountain, the congested area of large-scaled apartments and the urban development activities constructing the building in the park, and the volume and height of the cold air has been grown very small. In conclusion, It has been learned that for maximization of the spatial effect of the wind corridor, the areas where the cold air is generated, flowed, accumulated, and maintained, have to be connected spatially, and this spatial connection has a close relation with spatial features of the area.
