On the basis of vegetation data in the 9.12 ha (380 m ${\times}$ 240 m) permanent sample plot of the spruce-fir valley forest in Liangshui National Reserve of Xiaoxing'an Mountains, the study was conducted to evaluate spatial distribution pattern and spatial association by using point pattern analysis for living and dead trees of Larix gmelini by DBH size class. The number of L. gmelini were counted as 59 living stems/ha (6.42 $m^2$/ha of basal area) and 34 dead stems/ha (2.86 $m^2$/ha of basal area). The distributional curve of diameter class exhibited bimodal shape. The analysis of spatial distribution patterns of all living larch stems noted the clumped distribution on the whole. The size of larch aggregates of dead stems was decreased as diameter class was increased. The distribution of dead stems became gradually randomized with decreased clumped size as the scale increased. Living stems and dead stems of the larch had positive spatial association at most of scales, illustrating that the occurrence of mortality of the larch tree was closely related to the distribution pattern of living larch trees.

This study was conducted to evaluate spatial distribution pattern and spatial association of crowns (${\geq}10m$ of height) and saplings (<10 m of height and ${\geq}2cm$ of DBH) for four major tree species (Pinus koraiensis, Abies nephrolepis, Acer mono, and Tilia amurensis) in the mixed broadleaved-Korean pine forest of Xiaoxing'an Mts. Vegetation data were collected in the 9 ha permanent sample plot, and the analysis adopted the point pattern analysis method. Main results are as follows; 1) crowns and saplings of major species showed clumped distribution pattern in small scale, became random distribution as the scale was increased. 2) Saplings of Pinus koraiensis performed poor regeneration under the crowns of Pinus koraiensis and Abies nephrolepis; Saplings of Abies nephrolepis did good regeneration under the crowns of Pinus koraiensis and Abies nephrolepis; and crowns of Acer mono and Tilia amurensis had little effect on the distribution of saplings of Pinus koraiensis and Abies nephrolepis. Saplings of Acer mono and Tilia amurensis made good regeneration under the crowns of Pinus koraiensis and Tilia amurensis; and the crowns of Acer mono and Abies nephrolepis had little effect on the distribution of saplings of Acer mono.

도시화 지역은 지역발전과 더불어 공간적 범위가 확대되고 있다. 수도권 역시 예외는 아니어서 1960년대 이후 우리나라의 경제개발을 주도하며 도시화 지역의 공간적 범위가 확대일로에 있다. 그러나 도시화 지역의 공간적 분포를 평가함에 있어 그 분포 양상이 집적형태인지 임의적 형태인지 아니면 분산된 형태인지는 정확히 판단하기 어렵다. 즉, 시기가 지남에 따라 도시화 지역이 확대되기는 하지만 정량적으로 그 분포를 판단하기란 쉽지 않다. 본 연구는 GIS의 통계적 분석 기법을 이용하여 도시화 지역의 확대와 성장이 도시화 지역의 분포 패턴에 어떠한 영향을 주었는지를 살펴보고자 하는 것이다. 시계열적 도시성장 과정에서 수도권 내 도시화 지역의 분포패턴을 파악하고자 래스터 기반의 GIS 분석방법, 방격 분석(quadrat analysis), 그리고 최근린 분석(nearest neighbor analysis)을 사용하였다. 실험 결과 수도권의 도시화 지역의 집적정도는 1980년대 초반까지는 증가하다가 그 후로는 약화되는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 1980년대 중반 이후 수도권 내에서는 외연적 성장이 약화되고 비지적 도시성장 또는 도로망과 연계한 소규모 개발이 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

Purpose - This study aims to not only investigate spatial pattern of immigrants' residence and crime occurrences in South Korea, but shed light on how geographic distribution of immigrants and immigrant segregation affect crime rates. Research design, data, and methodology - Th unit of analysis is Si-Gun-Gu municipal level entities of South Korea. The crime data was obtained by Korea National Police Agency and two major types(violence and property) of crime were measured. Most demographic, social, and economic variables were derived from Korean Census Data in 2015. In order to examine spatial patterns of immigrants' distribution and crime rates in South Korea, the present study utilized GIS mapping technique and Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis(ESDA) tools. The causal linkage was investigated by a series of regression models using STATA. Results - Spatial inequality between urban metropolitan vs rural areas was visualized by mapping. Assuming large Moran's I value, spatial autocorrelation appeared to be quite strong. Several neighborhood characteristics such as residential stability and economic prosperity were found to be important factors leading to crime rate change. Residential distribution and segregation for immigrants were negatively significant in the regression models. Conclusions - Unlike the traditional arguments of social disorganization theory, immigrant segregation appeared to reduce violent crime rate and the high proportion of immigrants also turned out to be a crime prevention factor.

해양환경의 시공간적 분포 패턴을 정량적으로 분석하기 위해 남해 광양만 해양환경 관측 자료를 이용하여 글로벌 및 국지적 공간자기상관 통계를 적용하였다. 연구지역 전체의 해양환경 분포 패턴을 이해하기 위해 Moran's I, General G와 같은 글로벌 공간자기상관 지수를 사용하였으며, 대상 피쳐(feature)와 이웃 피쳐들과의 유사성 정도를 측정하고 hot spot 및 cold spot을 탐지하기 위해 국지적 Moran's I ($I_i$), $G_i{^*}$와 같은 LISA(local indicators of spatial association)를 사용하였고, 공간 군집 패턴의 신뢰성은 Z-score를 통한 통계적 유의성 검증을 수행하였다. 공간 통계 결과를 통해 년 중 해양환경 공간분포 패턴의 변화를 정량적으로 알 수 있었는데, 일반 해양수질, 영양염, 클로로필 및 식물플랑크톤은 여름철에 강한 군집 패턴을 보였다. 글로벌 지수에서 강한 군집 패턴을 보였을 때 속성 값의 공간적인 변화가 심한 음적 $I_i$ 값을 가지는 전선지역이 탐지되었다. 또한, 글로벌 지수에서 임의적 패턴을 보였을 때 국지적 지수인 $G_i{^*}$에서는 좁은 지역에서 hot spot과(또는) cold spot이 탐지되었다. 따라서 글로벌 지수는 연구 지역 전체 군집 패턴의 강도와 시계열적 변화 과정 탐지에, 국지적 지수를 통해서는 hot spot과 cold spot 위치 추적에 유용함을 알 수 있었다. 해양환경 공간분포 패턴과 군집 특성을 정량화는 것은 해양환경을 보다 깊이 이해할 수 있도록 할 뿐 아니라, 패턴의 원인을 찾는데도 중요한 역할을 할 것이다.

우리나라에서 산불 발생 공간분포는 인간 활동과 큰 관련성이 있기 때문에, 지역별 군집형태의 강한 공간의존성을 갖는다. 본 연구에서는 공간의존성의 개념에 입각하여 점자료 분석법을 통한 산불발생의 공간분포패턴을 분석하였다. Ripley의 K 함수를 이용하여 산불 발생 원인별 공간분포 형태를 파악하였으며, Kernel 함수를 통해 산불발생의 공간적 집중도를 분석하였다. 그 결과 정도는 상이하지만 모든 원인의 산불이 임의(random) 분포가 아닌 군집화(clustered)되어 발생하는 특징이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 산불 발생의 군집성을 원인별로 크게 두 집단으로 나눌 수 있었다. 첫째는 전국적 발생 패턴을 가지는 원인으로 입산자 실화, 논밭두렁 소각과 같은 활동과 관련된 것이고 또 다른 하나는 국지적 군집성을 가지는 원인으로 담뱃불이나 어린이 불장난, 방화이다. 그 군집성의 범위는 30 km내외로 나타났으며, 그 범위 밖에서는 임의 분포하고 있었다. Kernel 함수에 의한 원인별 집중도 분석에서는 강한 군집도를 나타냈던 3가지 원인(담뱃불, 어린이 불장난, 방화)의 경우 대부분 인구밀도가 높은 수도권을 중심으로 발생하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Nowadays, urbanized area expands its boundary, and distribution of urbanized area is gradually transformed into more complicated pattern. In Korea, SMA(Seoul Metropolitan Area) has outstanding urbanized area since 1950s. But it is ambiguous whether urban distribution is clustered or dispersed. This study aims to show the way in which expansion of urbanized area impacts on spatial distribution pattern of urbanized area. We use quadrat analysis, nearest-neighbor analysis and fractal analysis to know distribution pattern of urbanized area in time-series urban growth. The quadrat analysis indicates that distribution pattern of urbanized area is clustered but the cohesion is gradually weakened. And the nearest-neighbor analysis shows that point patterns are changed that urbanized area distribution pattern is progressively changed from clustered pattern into dispersed pattern. The fractal dimension analysis shows that 1972's distribution dimension is 1.428 and 2000's dimension is 1.777. Therefore, as time goes by, the complexity of urbanized area is more increased through the years. As a result, we can show that the cohesion of the urbanized area is weakened and complicated.

We investigated the relationship between mesoscale spatial distribution of environmental parameters (temperature, salinity, and sigma-t), chlorophyll-a concentration and mesozooplankton in the Yellow Sea during May 1996, 1997, and 1998, with special reference to Yellow Sea Bottom Cold Water (YSBCW). Adult calanoid copepods, Calanus sinicus, Paracalanus parvus s.l., Acartia omorii, and Centropages abdominalis were isolated by BVSTEP analysis based on the consistent explainable percentage (-32.3%) of the total mesozooplankton distributional pattern. The copepods, which accounted for 60 to 87% of the total abundances, occupied 73-78% of the copepod community. The YSBCW consistently remained in the northern part of the study area and influenced the spatial distribution of the calanoid copepods during the study periods. Abundances of C. sinicus and P. parvus s.l., which were high outside the YSBCW, were positively correlated with the whole water average temperature (p<0.01). In contrast, the abundances of C. abdominalis and A. omorii, which were relatively high in the YSBCW, were associated with the integrated chl-a concentration based on factor analysis. These results indicate that the YSBCW influenced the mesoscale spatial heterogeneity of average temperature and integrated chl-a concentration through the water column. This consequently affected the spatial distribution pattern of the dominant copepods in association with their respective preferences for environmental and biological parameters in the Yellow Sea during spring.

Background: Spatial structure of plants in a population reflects complex interactions of ecological and evolutionary processes. For dioecious plants, differences in reproduction cost between sexes and sizes might affect their spatial distribution. Abiotic heterogeneity may also affect adaptation activities, and result in a unique spatial structure of the population. Thus, we examined sex- and size-related spatial distributions of old-growth forest of dioecious tree Torreya nucifera in extremely heterogeneous Gotjawal terrain of Jeju Island, South Korea. Methods: We generated a database of location, sex, and size (DBH) of T. nucifera trees for each quadrat ($160{\times}300m$) in each of the three sites previously defined (quadrat A, B, C in Site I, II, and III, respectively). T. nucifera trees were categorized into eight groups based on sex (males vs. females), size (small vs. large trees), and sex by size (small vs. large males, and small vs. large females) for spatial point pattern analysis. Univariate and bivariate spatial analyses were conducted. Results: Univariate spatial analysis showed that spatial patterns of T. nucifera trees differed among the three quadrats. In quadrat A, individual trees showed random distribution at all scales regardless of sex and size groups. When assessing univariate patterns for sex by size groups in quadrat B, small males and small females were distributed randomly at all scales whereas large males and large females were clumped. All groups in quadrat C were clustered at short distances but the pattern changed as distance was increased. Bivariate spatial analyses testing the association between sex and size groups showed that spatial segregation occurred only in quadrat C. Males and females were spatially independent at all scales. However, after controlling for size, males and females were spatially separated. Conclusions: Diverse spatial patterns of T. nucifera trees across the three sites within the Torreya Forest imply that adaptive explanations are not sufficient for understanding spatial structure in this old-growth forest. If so, the role of Gotjawal terrain in terms of creating extremely diverse microhabitats and subsequently stochastic processes of survival and mortality of trees, both of which ultimately determine spatial patterns, needs to be further examined.
