  • 본 연구는 하천 내 하도 자연성이 어류 건강성에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여, 2008~2016년 간 한강권역의 자연사행하천과 하도정비로 직강화된 하천의 수질환경요인과 FAI를 비교 분석하였다. 하도 자연성에 따른 우점종의 출현빈도를 분석한 결과, 자연사행하천에서 민감성 및 충식성 어종이 우세한 반면, 하도 직강화 하천에서는 내성 및 잡식성 어종이 우점하는 빈도가 높은 양상을 보였다. 하도 및 저수로의 직강화로 인해 하도 자연성이 감소함에 따라 FAI가 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 특히 생태적 어류군집구조 특성이 반영된 메트릭인 민감종수(M3) 및 충식종의 개체수 비율(M6)의 감소와 잡식종의 개체수 비율(M5)의 증가가 FAI 변화에 주요요인으로 나타났다. 하도 자연성 감소에 따른 연도별 FAI 하락은 BOD, TN, TP, 전기전도도, 탁도의 증가와 높은 상관관계를 보여, 하도 및 저수로의 직강화로 인한 수질변화는 물리적 서식환경의 교란과 함께 어류 건강성에 주요 영향요인으로 판단된다.

  • 본 연구는 국내 명승과 미국 국립공원을 대상으로 정의 및 주요 가치, 지정 절차 및 유형, 지정추이를 살펴보고 두 자연유산의 지정 특성을 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 도출하였다. 첫째, 명승은 경관성을 기본 전제로 학술적, 역사적, 인문적 가치를 포함하는 복합유산으로서의 성격을 지니고 있다. 미국 국립공원은 공공성을 기반으로 하는 자연유산으로서 경관의 보호를 통해 국민의 자연유산 향유에 기여하고 생태적·역사적 가치를 동시에 만족하는 것을 목표로 삼고 있다. 둘째, 명승의 지정은 소유자나 관리자, 지자체의 요청이나 문화재청장의 직권으로 지정신청과 지정조사를 거쳐 문화재 위원회의 심의를 통해 지정여부를 결정한다. 지정조사는 기초자원조사와 유형별 자원조사로 구분되며, 1970년 명주 청학동 소금강의 최초 명승 지정 이후 2000년대까지 명승 지정은 저조했으나 2006년 이후 명승 활성화 정책에 힘입어 지정건수가 급격히 증가했고, 자연명승과 역사문화명승의 비중이 균형을 이루게 되었다. 미국 국립공원은 의회나 대통령에 의해 지정이 결정되며 국립공원청에서는 사전검사조사를 통한 잠정자원의 특별자원연구 수행 여부 결정, 특별자원연구 결과에 따른 국립공원 지정기준 만족 여부, 우선순위 결정이 순차적으로 이루어진다. 미국 국립공원은 의회뿐만 아니라 대통령의 국립기념지 지정 권한 부여를 통해 국립공원의 지정경로가 확대되었고, 국립공원청의 통합 운영으로 여러 부처에서 관할하던 유산들이 국립공원에 포함되어 지정건수가 증가하였다. 또한 사적지법의 제정으로 역사유적이 다수 지정되고, 여가공간 제공을 위한 레크리에이션 지역들을 지정하여 총 18개 유닛으로 분류·관리하고 있다. 셋째, 명승과 미국 국립공원의 지정 특성을 비교한 결과 복합적 가치를 지닌 자연유산의 지정, 상호보완적 지정체계와 자원특성에 따른 유형분류, 주무부처 신설 및 지정 정책에 따른 유산의 균형화가 특징으로 확인되었다. 두 유산은 경관성과 공공성을 바탕으로 생태적, 역사적, 학술적 가치를 동시에 충족하는 복합적 자연유산의 특징을 지니고 있었다. 또한 양국 모두 기초자원조사와 심화단계의 지정조사를 통해 순차적, 상호보완적 조사로 유산의 지정을 심의하는 체계가 확인되었으며 자원의 특성에 따라 각 유형을 분류하였다. 이외에 국내 명승 활성화 정책과 미국의 국립공원청 통합운영은 두 유산의 지정 양상에 영향을 미쳤으며, 자연유산과 역사문화유산의 균형을 이루었다. 넷째, 명승과 국립공원의 자원유형과 보존관리 방식은 상당부분 연관성을 지니고 있었다. 미국 국립공원의 자연지역은 국내 천연기념물의 유형들이 주요 자원으로 포함되며, 자연명승과 유사한 특성을 지닌다. 또한 역사유적은 경관성 측면에서 역사문화명승의 지정기준과 유사하며, 전쟁 및 유명인물 관련 유적이 주를 이루는 양상이 사적의 유형과 관련있었다. 보존관리 측면에서 미국 국립공원의 자연지역은 생태계 원상을 그대로 두는 방식을 지니고 있으나 점적 자원에 대한 중점관리는 국내 자연유산 보호체계가 유용할 것으로 보인다. 한편, 역사자원은 사적과 역사문화명승이 전통시대 생활상 전반을 포함하고 있으나, 미국 국립공원의 역사유적은 전쟁사, 유명인 관련 유적을 대상으로 현대까지 시간적 범위를 설정하였으며, 현존 자원을 토대로 적극적인 향유 프로그램 제공이 차이점으로 도출되었다.

  • Malaysia possesses about 1.56 million ha of Peat Swamp Forest (PSF). The PSF safeguard enormous biological diversity, while providing crucial benefits for the sustainable development of human communities. Numbers of threatened plant species are associated with the PSF, including the commercially important Gonystylus bancanus timber. To prevent significant losses of biodiversity, it is important to manage the PSF for both biological conservation and sustainable use. Equally important is to restore all degraded PSF in an attempt to ensure the PSF ecosystem is suitable for the vegetation to grow and rehabilitate back to the normal condition. Prior to plan any forest restoration program, there is a need to properly map the degraded PSF in order to estimate the forest conditions and determine the vegetations status. Most of the time this need to be done at a landscape level and requires a technology that can provide accurate, timely and reliable information for the planner to make decision. This paper describes a study using geospatial technology in combination with ground survey to classify the degraded PSF in South East Pahang Peat Swamp Forest (SEPPSF), Malaysia, into different degree of vegetation classes. With map accuracy of about 83%, the technique proved to be useful in delineating the different degree of PSF degradation from which the information can be used to properly plan forest restoration program in the area. The final output which is in the form of map can be used in developing a Restoration Master Plan for the degraded PSF areas.

  • 본 연구에서는 남강 최상류부의 지우천 유역을 대상으로 침식분지 내 퇴적지형의 형성과정을 고찰하였다. 퇴적 지형의 형태적 특성과 퇴적상 분석을 통하여 밝혀진 형성과정을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 사평, 응암, 내동뒷들 지점의 고위퇴적지는 최종빙기 동안의 한랭한 주빙하 환경하에서 젤리플럭션 작용으로 퇴적되었으며, 상류에서 하류방향으로 하상비고가 낮아진다. 고위퇴적지의 범위는 지우천과 남강이 합류하는 곳에서 하류방향 약 1km지점인 것으로 추정된다. 둘째, 장승불들 지점에 분포하는 완경사면의 퇴적물은 심층풍화된 기반암이 완만한 사면을 형성한 이후 최종 빙기 동안 젤리플럭션 작용으로 운반된 것이다. 셋째, 사평, 용추사, 등방들 지점의 저위퇴적지는 후빙기의 온난습윤한 환경하에서 고위퇴적지가 개석되는 동안 퇴적물의 일부가 하상에 남겨지고, 이후 고위퇴적지의 개석이 완료됨에 따라 하천의 저항(퇴적물양)보다 하천의 운반력이 초과함으로써 하상이 다시 침식되어 형성된 것으로 사료된다.

  • The most limited production resource in Korea is land. During the period from 1995 to 2002, annual farm land area of 17,600ha have been converted to urban and industrial land. The self-sufficiency rate of rice, Korean staple food, is expected to be decreased from 97.5% in 2003 to 60-70% in 2020. Under such conditions, this study is aimed at first identifying multi-functional benefits of the reclamation projects such as agricultural production, industrial water supply, urban land supply, transportation effects, sightseeing effects and environmental values with and without the projects. To carry out the objectives, three existing tideland reclamation projects such as Daeho, Kumgang and Yongsangang irrigation project stage II were evaluated and Saemangeum tideland reclamation project which was jointly revaluated by environmental NGO and Govn't appointed specialists in 2000 was reviewed. According to this study results, tide land reclamation projects were showed financially and economically feasible and environmentally sustainable. The joint cost like estuary dam should be allocated based on the multi-functional benefits of the projects. To allocate the joint cost, legal and institutional improvement should adapt the joint cost allocation method as the specific cost-remaining benefit method. Korea has more than 402,000 ha of tidal flat of which 76,396ha have been reclaimed in 2003. To meet food security and to cope with shortage of land, phil-environmental reclamation projects should be continuously implemented and necessary tidal flats for protecting environmental ecosystem should be remained according to the detail survey results of reclaimable resources.

  • This study was carried out to lead the scientific management of the urban forest by estimating the forest environment. Forest environmental information was constructed using IDRISI system based on survey data, soil, plant, and digital elevation data. Forest environmental information was consisted of soil depth, soil organic content, soil hardness and parent rock as a soil environmental factor, and forest community, tree age, crown density as a plant environmental factor. Plant activity and topographic environment also were analyzed by using remote sensing data and digital elevation data. Environmental function of urban forest was estimated based on results of soil conservation and forest productivity. 70% of urban forest is located in elevation of lower than 200m and 55% of forest area have the slope of lower than 15 degree. Analyzed soil conservation status and forest productivity were almost the same as the soil chemical properties of collected soil sample and the vegetation index estimated using remote sensing data, respectively. Thus, the constructed forest environmental information could be useful to give some ideas for management of urban forest ecosystem and establishment of environmental conservation planning, including forests, in Taejon. The best forest environmental function was appeared at the natural ecology preservation zone. Current natural parks and urban parks were appeared to establish the environmental conservation plan for further development. The worst forest environmental function was appeared at the forest near to the industrial area and an overall and systematic plan was required for the soil management and high forest productivity because these forest was developing a severe soil acidification and having a low forest productivity.

  • The purpose of this study is to present the raw data for management and conservation of tidal flat by objective surveying and analysing the halophytes and vegetation distributed in Seocheon tidal flat wetland conservation area, Korea. The results are as follows. The numbers of halophytes in this site were summarized as 27 taxa including 13 families, 21 genera, 26 species and 1 variety. In the results of ecologically important species, rare plant was 1 taxa, 10 taxa of the specific plants by floristic region, 1 taxa of naturalized plant and 1 taxa of the plant with approval for delivering oversea. The life form spectrum consisted of therophytes(44.4%), hemicryptophytes(25.9%), geophytes(14.8%), nanophanerophytes(7.5%), chamaephytes and hydatophytes(each 3.7%). The types of vegetation of Seocheon tidal flat wetland conservation area were classified with 17 communities including Vitex rotundifolia community, Suaeda maritima community, Calystegia soldanella community and so forth. In the halophytes composition, section C and E-1 had the largest character species and companion species. In the results of vegetation amount, section C, D, E-1 and E-2 were the highest score, on the other hand, section A and B were the lowest. The final rating was calculated by adding up values of two factors, and section C and E-1 had the highest rating of II. In future, we will survey the whole flora in Seocheon tidal flat, we will offer the help to establishing the conservation plan of coastal plant ecosystem in West Sea.

  • Complex physical, chemical and biological interactions off the Korean coast created several striking patterns in the phytoplankton blooms, which became conspicuous during the measurements of ocean color from space. This study concentrated on analyzing the spatial and temporal aspects of phytoplankton chlorophyll variability in these areas using an integrated dataset from a Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS), Advanced Very High Resolution (AVHRR) sensor, and Conductivity Temperature Depth (CTD) sensor. The results showed that chlorophyll concentrations were elevated in coastal and open ocean regions, with strong summer and fall blooms, which appeared to spread out in most of the enclosed bays and neighboring waters due to certain oceanographic processes. The chlorophyll concentration was observed to range between 3 and $54\;mg\;m^{-3}$ inside Jin-hae Bay and adjacent coastal bays and 0.5 and $8\;mg\;m^{-3}$ in the southeast sea offshore waters, this gradual decrease towards oceanic waters suggested physical transports of phytoplankton blooms from the shallow shelves to slope waters through the influence of the Tsushima Warm Current (TWC) along the Tsushima Strait. Horizontal distribution of potential temperature $(\theta)$ and salinity (S) of water off the southeastern coast exhibited cold and low saline surface water $(\theta and warm and high saline subsurface water $({\theta}>12^{\circ}C; S>34.4)$ at 75dBar, corroborating TWC intrusion along the Tsushima Strait. An eastward branch of this current was called the East Korean Warm Current (EKWC), tracked with the help of CTD data and satellite-derived sea surface temperature, which often influenced the dynamics of mesoscale anticyclonic eddy fields off the Korean east coast during the summer season. The process of such mesoscale anticyclonic eddy features might have produced interior upwelling that could have shoaled and steepened the nutricline, enhancing phytoplankton population by advection or diffusion of nutrients in the vicinity of Ulleungdo in the East Sea.

  • The study aims to comprehend the effect of the wetland ecology education on the elementary school students' changes of recognition about wetland through the wetland ecology map program. In this study, the literary research, the experimental research and the survey methods were operated. Through the literary research, the environmental factors were extracted, and the writing item of ecology map was reconstructed based on the literary research, so the experimental research was operated with the wetland ecology map program. Through four areas of test items such as the information and knowledge, values and attitudes, development and conservation, behavior and participation, and the analysis of children's study results, the effect of the wetland ecology map program on changes of recognition about wetland was verified quantitatively and qualitatively. Wetland ecology map program would be able to be an educational approach which can achieve the 'personalization of environment' setting up predictable environmental improvement goals and satisfying the needs of spatial information of the appropriate regions from the holistic perspective that students themselves plan and participate beyond a one-time experience program. Production of ecological map through continuous monitoring is expected to improve the possibility of subjective environmental actions by operating self-directed learning. Based on the conclusion of this study, we would suggest the following. For wetland ecology map program to be supplemented and utilized, the basic education of wetland should be organized in regular school curriculum, ecology map program including various teaching learning methods be prepared actively, and in future studies, studies of ecosystem-wide wetland ecology map program including animals like birds and fish are necessary.
