  • The impact on streamflow and groundwater recharge considering future potential climate and land use change was assessed using SLURP (Semi-distributed Land-Use Runoff Process) continuous hydrologic model. The model was calibrated and verified using 4 years (1999-2002) daily observed streamflow data for a $260.4km^2$ which has been continuously urbanized during the past couple of decades. The model was calibrated and validated with the coefficient of determination and Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency ranging from 0.8 to 0.7 and 0.7 to 0.5, respectively. The CCCma CGCM2 data by two SRES (Special Report on Emissions Scenarios) climate change scenarios (A2 and B2) of the IPCC (Intergovemmental Panel on Climate Change) were adopted and the future weather data was downscaled by Delta Change Method using 30 years (1977 - 2006, baseline period) weather data. The future land uses were predicted by CA (Cellular Automata)-Markov technique using the time series land use data of Landsat images. The future land uses showed that the forest and paddy area decreased 10.8 % and 6.2 % respectively while the urban area increased 14.2 %. For the future vegetation cover information, a linear regression between monthly NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) from NOAA/AVHRR images and monthly mean temperature using five years (1998 - 2002) data was derived for each land use class. The future highest NDVI value was 0.61 while the current highest NDVI value was 0.52. The model results showed that the future predicted runoff ratio ranged from 46 % to 48 % while the present runoff ratio was 59 %. On the other hand, the impact on runoff ratio by land use change showed about 3 % increase comparing with the present land use condition. The streamflow and groundwater recharge was big decrease in the future.

  • Thailand had set the National Water Management Strategy which covered main six areas in the next 12 years, i.e., by priority: (1) water for household, (2) water for agricultural and industrial production, (3) water for flood and drought management, (4) water for quality issue, (5) water from forest conservation and soil erosion protection, (6) water resources management. However due to the climate change impact, there is a question for all strategies is whether to complete this mission under future climate change. If the impact affects our target, we have to clarify how to mitigate or to adapt with it. Vulnerability assessment was conducted under the framework of ADB's (with the parameters of exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity) and the assessments were classified into groups due to their different characteristic and the framework of the National Water Management Strategy, i.e., water supply (rural and urban), water for development (agriculture and others), water disasters (floods (flash, overflow), drought, water quality). The assessments identified the parameters concerned and weight factors used for each groups via expert group discussions and by using GIS mapping technology, the vulnerability maps were produced. The maps were verified with present water situation data (floods, drought, water quality). From the analysis result of this water resources management strategy, we found that 30% of all projects face the big impacts, 40% with low impact, and 30% for no impact. It is clear that water-related agencies have to carefully take care approximately 70% of future projects to meet water resources management strategy. It is recommended that additional issues should be addressed to mitigate the impact from climate risk on water resource management of the country, i.e., water resources management under new risk based on development scenarios, relationship with area-based problems, priority definition by viewpoints of risk, vulnerability (impact and occurrence probability in past and future), water management system in emergency case and water reserve system, use of information, knowledge and technology in management, network cooperation and exchange of experiences, knowledge, technique for sustainable development with mitigation and adaptation, education and communication systems in risk, new impact, and emergency-reserve system. These issues will be described and discussed.

  • The red imported fire ant is considered one of the most notorious invasive species because of its adverse impact on both humans and ecosystems. Public concern regarding red imported fire ants has been increasing, as they have been found seven times in South Korea. Even if red imported fire ants are not yet colonized in South Korea, a proper quarantine plan is necessary to prevent their widespread distribution. As a basis for quarantine planning, we modeled the potential distribution of the red imported fire ant under current climate conditions using six different species distribution models (SDMs) and then selected the random forest (RF) model for modeling the potential distribution under climate change. We acquired occurrence data from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) and bioclimatic data from WorldClim. We modeled at the global scale to project the potential distribution under the current climate and then applied models at the local scale to project the potential distribution of the red imported fire ant under climate change. Modeled results successfully represent the current distribution of red imported fire ants. The potential distribution area for red imported fire ants increased to include major harbors and airports in South Korea under the climate change scenario (RCP 8.5). Thus, we are able to provide a potential distribution of red imported fire ant that is necessary to establish a proper quarantine plan for their management to minimize adverse impacts of climate change.

  • The increase of international trade across countries and borders results in increased risks associated with the inflow of new pests and diseases. These risks are likely to be increased more rapidly due to climate change. Some countries implement strict regulations on imports to prevent these risks and protect biosecurity, food safety, and public health. However, the problems arise when the diseases and pests are found in a country where their economic structure largely depends on agricultural exports and cause ripple effects on other industries and ecosystems. Therefore, establishing an effective quarantine system is essential to protect and recover from the damage caused by non-native diseases and pests. This study's objectives are 1) analyzing the agricultural policies relate to the quarantine system on diseases and pests in Korea, 2) evaluating the Korea plant quarantine system's value, and 3) simulating plant quarantine policy strategies. We estimated the Korean quarantine system's benefits on diseases and pests to reach these objectives. The benefits are measured with a willingness to pay from respondents surveyed by the contingent valuation method (CVM). The CVM approach directly asks people how much they would willingly pay for food security. Finally, the Korean quarantine system's values are simulated with several policy scenarios and different scales of infection at the regional level. The results of this study can deliver policy implications on the quarantine system innovation in developing countries including Asia.

  • The purpose of this study is to analyse the hazard risk by examining the magnitude and severity of each type of hazard in order to mitigate and prepare for disasters in medical facilities. Methods: The hazard risk analysis for hazard types was surveyed for team leaders of medical facilities. The questionnaire analyzed data from 27 facilities, which were returned from 41 Local Medical Centers. Results: When looking at the 'Risk' by category type of hazard, the influence of health safety and fire/energy safety comes first, followed by natural disaster, facility safety, and crime safety. On the other hand, as for 'Magnitude', facility safety and crime safety come first, followed by health safety, fire/energy safety, and natural disasters. Most of the top types of disaster judged to have high hazard in medical facilities are health types. The top five priorities of hazard in medical facilities, they are affected by the geographical and industrial conditions of the treatment area. In the case of cities, the hazard was found to be high in the order of infectious disease, patient surge, and wind and flood damage. On the other hand, in rural areas, livestock diseases and infectious diseases showed the highest hazard. In the case of forest areas, the hazard was high in the order of wildfire, fire accident, lightning, tide, earthquake, and landslide, whereas in coastal areas of industrial complexes, the hazard was high due to fire, landslide, water pollution, marine pollution, and chemical spill accident. Implications: Through the research, standards will be established for the design of hospitals with disaster preparedness, and will contribute to the preparation of preemptive measures in terms of maintenance.

  • To protect people and the environment from environmental radiation, the Act on Protective Action Guidelines against Radiation in the Natural Environment was formulated in Korea in 2011. This law regulates matters related to radiation safety that can be encountered in life. In accordance with this law, radiation monitoring equipment is operated at major airports and ports across the country, ensuring radiation monitoring of imported cargo. Currently, six ministries conduct radiation monitoring of imported cargo: the Nuclear Safety and Security Commission; the Korea Customs Service; the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety; the Ministry of Environment; the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs; and the Korea Forest Service. Each ministry designates the relevant cargo items for radiation monitoring. The objective of this study was to comprehensively review the Korean radiation monitoring system for imported cargo and identify the areas and scopes of improvement. This paper also proposes a new law and an integrated supervision plan, which involves establishing a dedicated department to enhance the efficiency and professionalism of the national radiation monitoring system for imported cargo. The review will contribute to the development of a more sophisticated national radiation monitoring system for imported cargo.

  • Multi-temporal optical images have been utilized for time-series monitoring of croplands. However, the presence of clouds imposes limitations on image availability, often requiring a cloud removal procedure. This study assesses the applicability of various machine learning algorithms for effective cloud removal in optical imagery. We conducted comparative experiments by focusing on two key variables that significantly influence the predictive performance of machine learning algorithms: (1) land-cover types of training data and (2) temporal variability of land-cover types. Three machine learning algorithms, including Gaussian process regression (GPR), support vector machine (SVM), and random forest (RF), were employed for the experiments using simulated cloudy images in paddy fields of Gunsan. GPR and SVM exhibited superior prediction accuracy when the training data had the same land-cover types as the cloud region, and GPR showed the best stability with respect to sampling fluctuations. In addition, RF was the least affected by the land-cover types and temporal variations of training data. These results indicate that GPR is recommended when the land-cover type and spectral characteristics of the training data are the same as those of the cloud region. On the other hand, RF should be applied when it is difficult to obtain training data with the same land-cover types as the cloud region. Therefore, the land-cover types in cloud areas should be taken into account for extracting informative training data along with selecting the optimal machine learning algorithm.

  • 유량 및 수질자료가 부족한 미계측 유역의 수질환경 평가를 간편하게 수행할 수 있는 대유역 수질관리를 위한 수질모형 Modified-WASP5을 개발하고, 금강하구 수질재현에 활용을 통해 그 적용성을 입증하였다. Modified-WASP5은 부하모형과, 수리모형, 수질모형으로 구성되어 있으며, 부하모형은 동리 단위로 조사된 점원 및 비점원 자료와 배출원 단위를 입력하여 소유역 배출부하량을 계산하고, 이를 통계적으로 구한 유달함수에 대입하여 유달부하량을 출력한다. 부하모형의 결과, 금강하구 유역의 BOD, TN, TP의 총 유달부하량의 상대오차는 각각 44%, 32%, 26%이고 상관계수는 0.91, 0.96, 0.87을 보였다. 위와 같은 결과를 볼 때, 자료의 분산이 나타나기는 하나, 제한된 자료로부터 실측치와 계산치가 유사한 경향을 가지므로 미계측 유역에 적용이 가능하다고 판단된다. 수리계산에 필요한 유량자료에 있어서, 경계조건으로 분류되는 상류 소유역의 유랑관측자료가 존재하지 않으므로, 부득이하게 비유량 방법을 이용하였으나, 별다른 유출입 유량이 없는 경우에도 하류에서 유량이 급등하는 등 실제 상황을 정확히 재현하는데는 어려움이 따른다. 이러한 특이 값을 제거한 후, 측정지점에 대한 비유량을 각각 구하고 이들 비유량의 평균을 사용하였으나, 현재 가용한 자료의 제한성으로 더 나은 결과를 계산할 수 없다. 수질모형의 결과, 공주와 강경의 평균 BOD 농도는 2.6mg/L 및 2.8mg/L, 모의결과는 각각 2.5mg/L와 2.4 mg/L로 나타나 개발모형에 대한 호수 및 하천구간의 예측에 무리가 없음을 확인하였다. 이와 같이, 본 연구에서는 하천과 호수가 연계된 수계에 적용이 가능한 동적 수질모형(WASP-M)을 개발하여 WASP5의 범용성을 높였으며, 개발된 부하모형과 수질모형을 이용하여 대청호 및 금강하구 유역에 적용한 결과, 그 적용성이 입증되었으며, 위에서 언급한 과제들이 연구개선 될 경우 우리나라 수계에 범용으로 적용가능하고, 미계측 유역의 수질환경평가에 이용될 수 있을 것이다.

  • 기후변화에 따른 작물 재배적지의 이동에 관한 정보는 농업분야 적응전략의 기초이기 때문에 연구자들뿐 아니라 정책결정자들도 큰 관심을 보인다. 하지만 재배적지의 개념을 분석차원에서 구체적으로 구현하는 일이 어렵기 때문에 아직 실용적인 적지판정법이 개발된 적이 없다. 본 연구에서는 미래 시나리오 기후조건에서 사과 '후지'의 재배적지를 조사하기 위해 GIS 기반의 탐색기법을 이용하여 전자기후도, 토양전자지도, 수치지형정보, 농업기후 및 작물품질 예측모형 등을 종합적으로 활용, 체계적인 적지판정기법을 구현하였다. '후지'를 대상으로 한 적지판정 1차기준은 지표피복, 경사도, 토성이며, 2차 기준은 월동기간 중 동해위험도, 늦서리 피해위험도, 생육가능기간 등 기후조건, 3차기준은 과피의 색택, 과형지수 등 품질조건이다. 이들 조건을 지리정보시스템의 속성 레이어로 구현하고 중첩분석을 통해 재배적지를 검색하였다. 이 방법을 현재평년(1971-2000년)과 A1B 시나리오의 미래평년(2011-2040년, 2041-2070년, 2071-2100년) 기후에 적용하여 남한 전역을 대상으로 재배적지를 검색한 결과 현재평년의 경우 전국의 6.5%가 후지 재배적지에 해당하였고 2011-2040년 평년기후에는 전국의 약 1.8%, 2041-2070년 평년에는 0.3%, 2071-2100년 평년에는 전국의 0.1%까지 감소하여 전국규모에서 재배적지의 한계선 북상추세를 감지할 수 있었다. 뿐만 아니라 개별 주산지 내에서도 적지이동 양상을 정밀하게 추적할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

  • 본 시험은 품종별 개화가 가능한 기준온도와 저온($5.0^{\circ}C$) 누적시간 및 발아 후 변온에 따른 평균 개화소요일수를 구명하여 국내 주요 사과품종('후지', '쓰가루')들과 국내에서 육성한 품종('추광', '감홍', '홍안', '홍금', '홍로', '홍소', '화홍', '섬머드림', '선홍')들의 개화기를 예측하고자 군위지역에서 4년(2009-2012년)동안 조사하였다. 또한, 이들 자료를 이용하여 군위 지역 기온이 현재보다 $5.0^{\circ}C$ 상승되었을 때의 개화시기를 추정하였다. 저온($5.0^{\circ}C$) 누적시간(저온요구도)의 처리 범위는 0~1,671hr 정도였고, 저온 처리 후 개화를 위한 고온(고온요구도) 처리 범위는 $5.0{\sim}29.0^{\circ}C$ 정도였다. 발아 후 변온 처리구들은 항온구(대조구), $5.0{\sim}10.0^{\circ}C$ 상승구 및 하강구로 분류하였다. 결과를 살펴보면, 저온에서의 누적시간이 짧을수록 개화소요일수가 길어지는 경향이 있었으며, 0hr 처리구의 발아 후 개화까지의 소요된 일수는 1,335~1,503hr 처리구보다 2~4주 정도 길었다. 품종 별로는 모든 품종이 발아 후 기온이 $10.0^{\circ}C$ 미만일 때 개화를 하지 못하였고, 저온요구도가 낮은 품종일수록 개화에 필요한 고온요구도가 낮았다. 발아 후 기온을 $15.0^{\circ}C$로 조절된 처리구들의 개화소요일수는 $10.0^{\circ}C$ 처리구들보다 1~3주 정도 빨랐다. 발아 후 변온 처리에서는 발아 후 기온 상승 처리구들의 발아 후 개화까지 소요된 일수가 항온 처리구보다 짧았다. 이상의 결과를 종합해보면, 국내 주요 사과품종들의 개화 기준온도는 $10.0^{\circ}C$로 생각되었으며, 군위지역의 기온이 지금보다 $5.0^{\circ}C$ 정도 상승된다고 가정하면, 개화기는 1주 정도 지연될 것으로 예측되었다.
