We need to use aesthetic landscape assessment(ALA) as the means of riparian buffer zone(RBZ) management. This study verified the political validity of designation policy of RBZ and land purchase policy. The purpose of this study was to propose RBZ landscape management strategies through ALA of RBZ in Gyeongan Stream for the better attractive and healthy riparian landscapes. The natural type landscape units(LUs) covered 40.9% of the entire area and the cultivated land type LUs covered 20.58%. Landscape assessment consisted of landscape quality and landscape integration assessment. The criteria for assessing landscape quality(LQ) were naturalness, interest, uniqueness, and landscape function. LQ was ranked into five grades using a matrix. The landscape integration assessment consisted of an inner integration assessment in each LU and outer integration assessment among LUs. To review the propriety of designating the riparian area and the riparian ecological belt, differences in ecological appraisal and aesthetic valuation were reviewed through a t-test, Oneway ANOVA, and logistic analysis. The results of ALA, 29.15% of the entire area scored at grade 1 in LQ, while 31.95% scored at grade 5, indicating that grade 5 areas occupied a high share. Surveyed areas were divided into designated RBZ and undesignated RBZ. Results indicated that designated RBZ scored grade 1 in LQ took up 33.2% of the total, significantly higher than the 23.3% taken up by undesignated RBZ. When examined according to buffer distance, grade 1 areas within 50m took up 50.2% of the total area, lower than the 32.7% at buffer distances of 500m-1km. Results indicated a 1% statistically significant difference. Accordingly, analysis was undertaken for the expansion of designation of the riparian area and the selection of appropriate land for formation of a riparian ecological belt, and was designated at priority 1 and 2 for land purchase. This study can also contribute to the formation of a riverine eco-belt through discovery of design factors for upgrading the ecology, aesthetics, and landscape of the riparian area and application in determining land purchase priorities.

Japanese is a language having intonations, which are indicated by the relative differences in pitch heights and the accentual phrases (APs) are placed according to the changes of the accents while a break occurs on a boundary of the APs. Although a break can be predicted by using J-ToBI, which is a rule-based or statistical approach, it is very difficult to predict a break exactly due to the flexibility. Therefore, in this paper, a method which can enhance the quality of synthesized speech by reducing the errors in predicting break indices (BI), are proposed. The method is to use a new definition for the phonetic symbols, which combine the phonetic values of Japanese words with the accents information. Since a stream of defined phonetic symbols includes the information on the changes in intonations, the BI can be easily predicted by dividing the intonation phrase (IP) into several APs. As a result of an experiment, the accuracy of break generations was 98 % and the proposed method contributed itself to enhance the naturalness of synthesized speeches.

This study aimed at reviewing the case examples of environmental assessment of development projects within management zones, identifying problems and improvement opportunities and suggesting the direction of environmental assessment for management zones that are increasingly segmented Findings showed that first, the assessment of environment soundness in management zones must incorporate the national land environmental map and wide-area ecological axes established by the Ministry of Environment. Second, regarding development activities in management zones, rather than an issue of simply destroying natural environment in a development site itself during a development period, an issue of permanently isolating ecosystems from surrounding areas in a mid/long-term perspective and continually polluting water in mid-stream/upstream regions where sites are located must be considered. Third, in the case of development projects with vast areas, existing plant communities will be disturbed and the naturalness of vegetation will gradually decline due to foreign tree species introduced for landscape architecture. Therefore, creating buffer forests at forest boundaries and planting native tree species that are same as nearby tree species must be examined. Last but not least, when assessing the environmental soundness of management zones, it would be crucial to comprehensively review the environmental, social and locational features of management zones, including surrounding areas, and set the direction of environmental assessment accordingly.

It is said that the goal of the design of good acoustical environment is at first the reduction of undesirable sounds. and in addition the introduction of desirable sounds by which our minds are soothed. The task of creating the desirable sounds leads to the realization of a comfortable acoustic environment and the design of soundscape. It may be an important starting point of soundscape design to select suitable sounds for the target spaces. because each space has a different surrounding condition and requires a special ambient sound. This paper aims to survey preference of the environmental sounds suitable for the public spaces in urban areas such as parks. bus terminals. 35 kinds of natural sounds are. rated by 26 pairs of adjectives. The results of psycho-acoustic experiments are as follows. 1. The proper adjectives for expressing the environmental sounds are classified into 6 groups of comfort, pleasure, fullness. variety, distinctness. and naturalness. 2. Bird singing. murmuring of a stream, artificial sounds. singing of insects and animals are the affirmative rank of preference. 3. Green musics consisted of music and natural sounds are preferred to the pure natural sounds. 4. Sound level relative to background noise causes various preferences to natural sounds in public spaces.

하천자연도 평가는 하천이용과 보전, 복원계획에 대한 적합성의 근거를 파악하고 이에 가치를 부여하기 위해 주로 평가가 이루어진다. 최근 많은 하천들이 자연형 공법을 적용하여 정비되고 있지만 하천 정비에 따른 실효성 검토가 제대로 이루어지지 않고 있다. 자연형 하천으로 정비된 하천의 실효성을 검토하는 하나의 방법으로 지속적인 모니터링을 통해 하천생태계의 구조와 기능을 파악하고 수집된 자료를 분석하여 공사전과 공사후 하천자연도를 평가할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 GIS를 이용하여 공사전과 공사후의 하천자연도 평가를 수행하였다. 평가항목은 종단면, 횡단면, 하상구조, 하천주변, 하천수질, 식생, 어류, 조류 등 8개 부문 29개 항목을 반영하였고 공사전과 후의 자연도 평가를 비교하기 위해 공사전 모니터링을 통해 얻은 자료를 바탕으로 부문별 평가항목 7개 부문에 17항목을 평가하였다. 평가의 척도는 정량적 지수로서 $1\~5$의 점수로 하였고 하천자연도의 표현은 5등급 체계로 구분하고 가중치는 부문별로 동일하게 하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 공사전 평가지수 3.3으로 하천자연도 III등급이었으나 공사후에는 평가지수 2.7로 II등급을 나타내었다.

근래에 들어 환경문제의 사회적 부각과 함께 생태파괴적인 하천 정비 방식에 대한 대안으로 자연형 하천 환경 복원기법에 대한 시험 적용이 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 그러나 하천 복원에 앞서 하천 환경의 상태를 파악하고 진단할 수 있는 방법에 대한 연구가 미흡한 실정이다. 기존에 개발된 하천 질 평가 방법은 수질에 편향된 경향이 있으나 수질의 개선만으로는 생물 다양성의 발생 기반으로서 물리적 구조가 훼손된 상태에서는 생태적 복원의 효과를 달성하기 어렵다. 따라서 하천의 물리적 조건에 의한 구체적이고 비교적 객관적인 평가가 필요하며, 본 연구에서는 상기 평가를 바탕으로 작성된 하천 자연도 평가 지침에 의거하여 곡릉천 하류 일부 구간과 곡릉천의 지류인 벽제천을 대상으로 자연도를 조사하였다. 평가 결과 곡릉천 봉일천교 상류 2km구간의 저수로는 사행을 보였으며, 강변 사주 및 하중도는 없었으나 갈대 등과 같은 저수로변 식생이 있고 흙으로 조성된 인공제방으로 되어 있어 도심지의 정형화된 하천들에 비해 비교적 자연에 가까운 모습을 하고 있었다. 한편 하천 인근에 있는 아파트 등 주거지와 논, 밭 등의 경작지로 인한 오염원 유입 및 자전거 도로와 산책로 등 사람의 접근이 용이한 제외지의 이용으로 동식 물서식처로서의 기능이 저하될 것으로 우려된다. 곡릉천의 지류인 벽제천은 저수로가 사행을 유지하고 하중도와 사주가 형성되어 있으며 여울을 확인할 수 있었다. 하천 인근에 경작지와 제방도로가 있으나 인적이 드물고 차량 통행량이 적어 생태환경 훼손에 대한 우려는 적은 것으로 판단되 었다.

This thesis has an intention to reorganize the topic of Ontology that has not unnoticed, investigating the symbolic signs of Zhuxi. The symbols in Ontology visualize in an anthropomorphic form or a form of animals that we can usually find in the nature. The visible symbols have characteristics of the dynamic rather than the stillness. The symbols of human and a horse have developed as different interpretations depending on the relative importance. The movement of stream symbolize the Movement of Daoti that manifests thorough all things in the Dao and have a structure of 'Ti-Xiang-Yong'. The Substance of Metaphysics embodies an action thorough 'Metaphysics' or 'with Metaphysics'. Accordingly, 'a stream' symbolizes 'the Movement of Daoti' in that it manifests the form of Daoti makes body. A kite and a fish symbolize the form of a kite flies up into the sky and the shape of a fish plays in the pond. These not only represent an outlook on the world, but also symbolize the stage of the Movement of Daoti. 'Human', 'a stream', 'a kite' and 'a fish' include activeness, domination, dynamics, manifestation, visibility, naturalness.

The goal of this research is to evaluate landscape-ecological characteristics of watersheds in the Nakdong River Basin by using Geogaphic Information System (GIS) and landscape indices for integation of spatio-temporal informations and multivariate statistical techniques for quantitative analysis of forest landscape. Fragmentation index and change matrix techniques using factor analysis and grid overlay method were used to efficiently analyze and manage huge amount of information for ecological-environmental assessment (land-cover and forest landscape patterns). According to the results based on the pattern analysis of land-cover changes using the change detection matrix between 1980s and 1990s, addition on 750km$^2$ became urbanized areas. The altered 442.04km$^2$ was agricultural areas which is relatively easy for shifting of land-use, and 205.1km$^2$ of forests became urbanized areas, and average elevation and slope of the whole altered areas were 75m and 4$^{\circ}$. On the other hand, 120km$^2$ of urban areas were changed into other areas (i.e., agricultural areas and green space), and fortunately, certain amount of naturalness had been recovered. But still those agricultural areas and fallow areas, which were previously urban areas, had high potential of re-development for urbanization due to their local conditions. According to the structural analysis of forest landscape using the landscape indices, the forest fragmentation of watersheds along the main stream of the Nakdong River was more severe than my other watersheds. Furthermore, the Nakdong-sangju and Nakdong-miryang watersheds had unstable forest structures as well as least amount of forest quantity. Thus, these areas need significant amount of forest through a new forest management policy considering local environmental conditions.
