The Khogno Khan mountain special protected area belongs to Khogno Khan subdistrict of Gurvanbulag district of Bulgan Province and is 46.9 sq.km. with its main feature being mountain forest zone. In this paper we present some results of research of the Anthropological and archaeological team of Mongolian Korean Joint research expeditions carryied out in Khogno Khan mountain special protected area from 27 July to 1 August, 2000. During archaeological reconnaissance we discovered around 27 localities of archaeological monuments belonging to different historical periods (from the Neolithic up to the Mongolian period, $13^{th}-17^{th}$ Century) in the territory of the Khogno Khan special protected area. Based on the results, we especially want to point out 1). The archaeological and historic monuments (from the Neolithic up to modern era) found in the Khogno Khan mountain and its surrounding area show that since the Neolithic period (around 8000 years ago) this area was occupied by the ancestors of Mongolians and it was used during subsequent historic periods on the one hand. 2). On the other hand the Khogno Khan mountain region was one area where there occurred intensive admixture between populations of Kurgan culture, Deerstone culture from the West Mongolia and the population of slab graves culture from Central and East Mongolia during Bronze and Early Iron Age. 3). Today the mountain is one of the area with a unique assemblage of archaeological monuments from different historic periods, what naturally seems like an open-air natural museum of Mongolian Prehistory.

Climate change is considered a severe global problem closely related to carbon storage. However, recent urbanization and land-use changes reduce carbon stocks in terrestrial ecosystems. Recently, the role of protected areas has been emphasized as a countermeasure to the climate change, and protected areas allow the area to continue to serve as a carbon sink due to legal restrictions. This study attempted to expand the scope of these protected areas to an evaluation-based environmental spatial information theme map. In this study, the area of each grade was compared, and the distribution of land cover for each grade was analyzed using the Ecological and Nature Map, Environmental Conservation Value Assessment Map and Urban Ecological Map of Sejong Special Self-Governing City. Based on this, the average carbon storage for each grade was derived using the InVEST Carbon model. As a result of the analysis, the high-grade area of the environmental spatial information generally showed a wide area of the natural area represented by the forest area, and accordingly, the carbon storage amount was evaluated to be high. However, there are differences in the purpose of production, evaluation items, and evaluation methods between each environmental spatial information, there are differences in area, land cover, and carbon storage. Through this study, environmental spatial information based on the evaluation map can be used for land use management in the carbon aspect, and it is expected that a management plan for each grade suitable for the characteristics of each environmental spatial information is required.

Ever-growing recreation, tourism and ecotourism worldwide have become a significant factor of resource degradation in many protected areas. Managers of these areas are increasingly challenged to implement policies, strategies and actions that would protect the resource base while providing quality visitor experience. One major issue in managing protected area visitations is that of carrying capacity, or the question of "how much use is too much\ulcorner". Scientific studies of visitor impacts, often known as recreation ecology, has generated a knowledge base that provides valuable input to the visitor carrying capacity management process adopted by the U.S. National Park Service. This paper aims at (a) providing an overview of recreation ecology research and its application in managing visitor carrying capacity, and (b) examining the relevance of recreation ecology to East Asian protected areas with special reference to the visitor capacity issue.ity issue.

In terms of environmental friendly land use and objective environmental assessment, legislative assessment items of Environmental Conservation Value Assessment Map (ECVAM) consists of designated areas related to conservation and protection, and areas that are planned to be designated in the future. However, the gap with the reality due to omission of several protection areas and land use regulations, and assessment grades according to 3 division land use map of forest, agricultural land, and urbanized area, results in low application and utilization of ECVAM. Therefore in this study, the legislative assessment of the ECVAM was performed with new assessment items and its new ratings, to suggest an improvement in legislative assessment items of the ECVAM. As a result, legally protected areas of inhabited islands under absolute conservation, special wildlife protection districts, protected marine areas, environmental preservation sea areas, scenic spots, forest protection zone, traditional temple preservation zone, and 45 zone or district related to regulation of land use were additionally designated as new legislative assessment items. New grade ratings were given to each additional assessment items in consideration of the restrictions on acts. As a result of the legislative assessment based on the new assessment items and new grades, the 1st grade area increased by 3.47%, and the 2nd grade area increased by 19.35%. The 3rd grade area decreased by 8.54%, the 4th grade area increased by 2.95%, and 5th grade increased by 2.91%. In addition, the out-of-grade area decreased by 20.14%, considered to be a realistic assessment based on land use. With the improved legislative assessment, it is possible to provide a more accurate environmental assessment map. Increase usage of ECVAM is expected in providing regulations of land use and base data for integrated land management of land environmental planning.

국토의 지속가능한 개발과 보전을 위해서는 계획적인 개발과 효율적인 환경보전이 수반되어야 한다. 이를 위해서는 기존에 개발된 지역에 대한 분석을 통해 개발에 영향을 준 요인들을 도출하고, 개발압력이 높은 지역에 대하여 적절한 관리방안을 적용함으로써 개발과 보전이 조화를 이룰 수 있도록 유도할 수 있다. 본 연구는 용인시를 대상으로 토지피복이 산림에서 시가화·건조 지역으로 변화된 지역과 여러 가지 사회·지형·제한적 요소 간의 관계를 로지스틱 회귀분석을 통해 회귀식으로 구현하고, 잠재적 개발지를 분석하였다. 잠재 개발지 분석에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요인은 개발제한구역, 보호지역과 같은 제한요소이고, 영향력이 가장 작은 요인은 인구밀도였다. 용인시 산림의 약 148km²(52%)이 잠재적 개발지로 분석되었고, 잠재개발지 중 보호지역에 해당하면서 국토환경성평가지도 1등급으로 환경적 가치가 우수한 지역은 약 13km²으로 도출되었다. 개발 잠재력이 높은 보호지역은 수변구역과 특별대책지역으로 나타나 수변으로 구성된 자연경관이 우수한 지역들이 개발지역으로 선호되고 있었다. 보호지역은 개인의 재산권을 보호하기 위해 일부 행위에 대해 허가를 내주고 있으나 뚜렷한 허가기준이 부재하고, 허가로 인한 환경적 영향을 파악하고 있지 않다. 이는 보호지역이 제 역할을 하지 못하게 하는 요인으로 파악됨에 따라 명확한 예외적 허가기준과 환경영향 모니터링을 통해 관리될 필요가 있다.

육상구조물의 대형화재는 특수한 소방장비와 그에 적합한 방법에 의해서 소방관에 의해서 진압된다. 하지만 해양구조물은 육상으로부터 어떠한 도움없이 승무원에 의해서 진압되고 이들은 선박의 구조적 특성과 선박의 충돌 및 화재와 같은 여러 가지 원인에 의하여 신속한 탈출이 어렵다. 일반적으로 화재에 의한 인명손상의 경우에는 연기에 의한 질식사가 대부분을 차지하므로 탈출 시간의 단축은 생존율을 향상에 아주 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 3차원 화재 분석 전용 프로그램인 FDS(Fire Dynamic Simulator)를 이용하여 화재 발생 시 승무원 생존율 분석을 위한 거주 공간내의 온도 및 연기유동에 의한 가시거리를 분석한다. 기존의 선박은 화재 경보 발령 시 방화문이 자동으로 폐쇄되도록 설계되어 있다. 이는 화재가 발생한 구역에 승무원이 없을 경우에는 화재의 확산 및 연기의 유동 지연에 아주 효과적이다. 그러나 대피시간이 지연될 경우에는 방화문 안쪽에 위치한 승무원들에게는 치명적일 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 화재로 인해 방화문이 폐쇄되어 승무원들이 이 방화문을 열고 탈출하는 경우와 연구에서 제안하는 차단막을 설치했을 경우의 화재 구역의 온도상승 및 연기유동 속도를 비교 분석한다.

Mangroves are special plant communities that live along intertidal zones in tropical and subtropical areas. They are regarded as one of the most important types of natural ecosystem in the world because of the many ecosystem functions that they perform, of which water purification is the most complex. Mangrove ecosystems are conducive to the deposition and retention of heavy metals. So it is important to understand the impact of heavy metals on mangrove ecosystems, and especially on soil subsystems. We examined the levels of heavy metals in the soil of mangroves in the Dongzhaigang Mangrove National Nature Reserve. Dongzhaigang, the first mangrove nature reserve established in China, is located south of Haikou in Hainan Island and encompasses $33.37\;km^2$, of which mangroves comprise $20.56\;km^2$. To assess the impact of human activities, we collected a large number of soil samples in four sampling areas (the protection station, the harbor, a tour area, and Yeboluo island) in the study area. We measured the concentrations of Cu, Pb, Zn and Cd in the soil samples using the spectra of polyatomic molecules. The average concentrations of Cu, Pb, Zn and Cd were $5.04\;{\mu}g/g$, $10.36\;{\mu}g/g$, $20.06\;{\mu}g/g$ and $0.06\;{\mu}g/g$, respectively, and the heavy metal concentrations were lowest in the protected area, highest in the harbor, and intermediate in Yeboluo Island and the tour area. The heavy metal concentrations in the soil collected from different sample plots are related not only to the physical and chemical properties of the soil, but also to the heavy metal emitted by nearby pollution sources. Our analysis indicates that tourist boats are the main pollution sources in the study area.

Ships' hull is typically protected by a combination of protective coating system and electrical cathodic protection system, which has been an economical and effective measure for ship's hull to date. However, ships' rudder and adjacent hull areas are known to be subjected to premature corrosion damages, which require more frequent coating repair than other hull areas. Conventional organic coating system for ship's hull has been known only to remain intact just for 2~3 months on the rudder and adjacent area, especially for the fast-going ships such as container carriers or naval vessels. In this study, special organic/inorganic coating materials, which are commercially available, were tested in terms of cavitation resistance as an alternative to existing rudder & hull protection system. Both standard ultrasonic tester and in-house developed ultra water jet test method were employed as a means to evaluate their performance against cavitation induced damages. Additionally, the overall cost evaluation and workability at actual shipyard were discussed.
