To assessment the disturbances of the Namgang caused by dam construction, upstream area was selected for the reference reach and downstream area was selected for the comparison reach. And these reaches were surveyed and analyzed according to the assessment criteria of the river disturbances.The artificial factors of river disturbances were classified as river improvement works, dam construction and aggregate dredging. The indexes were physical factors as like epifaunal (bottom), embeddedness, velocity/depth regime, sediment deposition, channel flow status, channel alteration, frequency of riffles, bank stability, vegetative protection, riparian zone etc.The assessment results showed 46% of the assessment criteria which was serious status in dam downstream area and 89.5% of it which was excellent status in dam upstream.Finally, the results showed that physical river environment in downstream area was disturbed by the discharge control and the interception of sediment discharge by dam, consequently this disturbance give rise to impact of ecosystem in river.

The objects of study is to propose criteria for physical river disturbance assessment and as case study to show the application results for river improvement. For this purpose, the river disturbance assessment method for past disturbance process and the present-day potential natural state of stream is proposed. To assess the disturbance of the Youngcheon River caused by river improvement, One ares of Nam River was selected for the reference reach and two areas of Youngcheon River were selected for the comparison reach. And these reaches were surveyed and analyzed according to applying criteria of the river disturbances assessment. The assessment indices were physical factors as like epifaunal (bottom), embededness, velocity/depth regime, sediment deposition, channel flow status, channel alteration, frequency of riffles, bank stability, vegetative protection and riparian zone etc. The results showed that physical river environment in Youngcheon River area was disturbed by artificial revetment and bed excavation, consequently this disturbance give rise to impact of ecosystem in river. Hereafter, the criteria for river disturbance assessment are needed to consider various river characters as bed materials and bed slop etc.

In Germany has a long history of ecological restoration and restoration management. At the beginning of the 1990s, the "Erfolgskontrolle" was used as an evaluation program after the restoration project and many exchanges of views took place. It is the time, in Korea, there is a need for a comprehensive evaluation program after the restoration project, as there is no evaluation method yet. At this time it may be the "Erfolgskontrolle" in Germany as a practical model for the Korean restoration management program. The purpose of this study is to identify the concept and character of the "Erfolgskontrolle" and to demonstrate the implication and potential of application, through the analysis of the implementation example of the revaluation of river revitalization. To achieve the goal was carried out theoretical and 3 exemplary revitalization research cases. And it was endeavored to deliver the German way of acting and the basic idea to Korea. For the restoration, the "precautionary principle" should be considered first, the upper legal regulation should not be violated. In order to apply "Erfolgskontrolle" in practice, the goal formulation should be clear and systematically evaluated. And through the collection of typified cases, the comprehensive and unified theory should be established, it is possible, thus the qualitative assessment of the restoration project.

The environmental damage caused by river-improvement and slope of incision cliff can dest habitations of animate nature and it takes long time for restoration. River system constructed with stability of flood control, fine biotope, harmony with surroundings should be need to protect and restore nature. Therefore, in this study, conduct comparative experiment in various methods which are stable hydraulically and develop vegetation on revetment of bank, stream bed protection and disaster prevention aspect.

The function of river navigation is being reconsidered from the viewpoints of environment-friendly and energy-efficient, easing traffic congestion, emergency transport in disaster, and supporting tourism and recreation activities, etc. The purpose of this study is to identify current trends and problems of river navigation in Japan and indicate the role that river navigation should play in future and the directionality of development. This study focused on disaster prevention function with especially high importance degree in metropolitan area from among various functions of river navigation, and showed potential of river navigation corresponding to stranded commuter who is examined as a serious problem in government.

The evaluation methods of river naturalness were reviewed, and one of the best methods was applied to three sample rivers-Narinchun, Bokhachun, Anyangchun. As a result, Narinchun with well preserved state, Bokhachun with being to restoration stage from the damaged, Anyangchun with severe damaged state showed 2$^{nd}$ , 3$^{rd}$ and 4$^{th}$ Grade. The application result shows the method is reliable for evaluating the damaged habitat in river. The method was improved on the evaluation items to apply lager river systems. This suggested method have 14 evaluation items with two category-river shape and river environment and five different Grades for evaluation degree according to state of natural closeness. The every 2,000-3,000m along the river system is recommended as the interval of evaluation unit. According to calssification of evaluation items, this method can supply various information related to river environment and ecology such as ecological deformation and diversity, cross sectional structure and continuity of river shapes..

River restoration has recently been performed not only for the improvement of the artificial parts in the past but also for the restoration of abandoned river reaches which were blocked and isolated. For the restoration of abandoned river reaches, it is important to recover the hydraulic and ecological connectivity in the isolated space by longitudinal structures like levees. But because the assessment tools to determine whether the river restoration is performed properly are so rare at present, we aim to provide a tool for assessing ecological connectivity in a target river in this study. In the first step, one-dimensional numerical model for rainfall-runoff and channel routing was developed and then applied to the watershed of the Cheongmi Stream. In this step, a numerical model was developed to assess the restoration of connectivity. The model consists of two parts: one part is to convert the results of one-dimensional channel routing into two-dimensional spatial distribution. The other is to calculate the habitat suitability index according to time steps by using two-dimensional hydraulic features. The model was applied to a restoration area of the Cheongmi Stream. The advantage of this study is that two-dimensional hydraulic analysis can be easily obtained from one-dimensional hydraulic analysis without a complex and time-consuming two-dimensional analysis. HHS (Hydraulic Habitat Suitablility) by sections of target reaches and target species can be easily obtained using the results of this study.
