  • The purpose of this study was to give a suggestion for vitalizing rural area's community, with respect to the components of community; 'locality' and 'communality'. The survey was conducted at Hondong, Hodongseong-gun, Chungcheongnam-do, which was a representative area for active rural area community. For the survey, we interviewed an activist on the village in November $9^{th}$, 2014, and let 81 residents fill the questionnaires during March $7^{th}$ to $14^{th}$, 2015. Major findings were as follows. 1) As for the 'locality' factor, the motives of residents' immigration were influenced by the availability of facilities for agriculture education, living, and convenience in the area. Most of residents recognized that the area comprises their own community facility area and expanded area with concentrated facilities of 'li', minimal adminstration unit. It means that their usage pattern of community facilities influences their conceptions of the village. 2) As for the 'communality' factor, original residents and immigrant back-to-farm residents showed different pattern in communicating with neighbors and community facility usages. Residents communicated with neighbors by meeting up or using the concentrated facilities in Gatgol, and visited the Balmak library frequently. Residents' sense of belonging was high with mean 4.16 point of 5.0 in Likert scale.

  • This work examines the delimitation of metropolitan areas in Canada, focusing on the Census Metropolitan Areas/Census Agglomerations(CMAs/CAs) that the Statistics Canada defines every Census year. The CMA/CA is built upon the functional-area method which is among the three approaches (i.e., density-based, land use-based, functional-area approaches) to the definition of an urban area. Importantly, the delimitation of a CMA/CA employs the Urban Area(UA) which the Statistics Canada defines via density-based and land use-based methods. In particular, the UA which has 10,000 or more residents is the urban core of a CMA/CA. Our examination of the CMA/CA in Canada also presents some points to be considered with regard to the delimitation of metropolitan areas in Korea which has yet to be implemented.

  • The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of the urban landscape by CG(Computer Graphic) pictures and visibility analysis. In this study, the CG picture was created by using zoning data and DEM(Digital Elevation Model) on Chunchon city. The landscape type was classified into three by cluster analysis using the area rate of the element which constitutes CG picture. Visible analysis used DEM as fundamental data, and was performed by using GIS(Geographic Information System). And the frequency seen on viewshed was classified into five grades. The result of this study are as follows: 1. The area rate of the element which constitutes CG picture was high development restriction zone(43%) in type 1, green land area(39%) in type 2, and city area(24%) in type 3. 2. In the analysis results of GIS visibility analysis, it turns out that Euiam lake is important area on the landscape in all types. 3. The land use of high frequency seen on viewshed was water area, residential area in type 1, development restriction area, park area in type 2, and development restriction zone, water area in type 3.

  • This study was carried out to correct shadow area in urban area on KOMPSAT-3 satellite image. For this study, we analyzed characteristics of the shadow area represented by artificial structures in urban area. The proposed shadow correction method divides shadow area into umbra and penumbra areas according to intensity of darkness. The umbra area was detected through the histogram analysis and the statistical method of the NIR image, and then penumbra area and the sunlit area were detected from around the detected umbra area. The correction of the detected umbra and penumbra area were performed by applying the linear correlation correction method. As a result, it was confirmed that the proposed shadow correction method was visually performed well. Quantitative analysis was performed through profile analysis. It is proved that proposed method is useful for shadow area correction.

  • The objective of this study is to review and verify whether the functions and effect of roadside trees generally hewn in theory are actually realized in urban roads and how well they are performed if the function and effect are realized. The study was conducted with a focus on 3 functions and effects including roadside tree's urban landscape improvement function (green area visibility ratio), effect of introducing green area within a city, and urban green network building function. The major study results are as follows: First, the average green area visibility ratio of 41 study areas is currently about 25.90%. The green area visibility ratio of commercial area within downtown was lowest among 5 road types. It showed that it is possible to raise the average green area visibility ratio up to 32.49% through roadside tree management and additional plantation. Second, in a section between Paldal Mountain and Suwon City Hall where there is no forest fragments and parks at all, a green area of 4,826 roadside trees represented 2.4% of total area and served as the only linear green area. Third, an analysis of 15 cities in Kyonggi province showed that urban forests are concentrated in outskirts. The suey showed that because forest fragments and parks exist in a form of points in urban areas, roadside trees are the only green areas that link each other and build a network.

  • The agricultural area is a priority to develop than the natural area for land developments. However, the importance of agricultural biodiversity is emphasized recently. The agricultural area does not only provide food for human and habitat for wild life but also contribute to improve biodiversity. It is necessary to preserve the agricultural area with rich biodiversity. The study was conducted to analyze biodiversity of insects for conservation value assessment of agricultural areas. According to the results of field survey, there is higher biodiversity index in agricultural areas surrounding the forest or small size agricultural areas. By contrast, the index is lower in agricultural areas near roads or in the intensive agricultural area. The results show that there is high biodiversity in agricultural areas, especially margin agricultural area such as below 2ha and over slop rate of 15%. Therefore, further studies should be conducted field survey more to generalize for biodiversity in agricultural area, and establish the criteria to protect agricultural area from land developments.

  • This paper presents a calculation method of the area of severity for the stochastic assessment of voltage sags. In general, the annual expected numbers of voltage sags at an individual load point can be estimated stochastically. However, in order to assess the system voltage sag performance considering many sensitive load points together, it is necessary to determine and analysis the area of severity for the load points. The area of severity to voltage sags is the network region where the fault occurrences will simultaneously lead to voltage sags at different load points. In this paper, the concept of the voltage sag assessment and the calculation method of the area of severity are addressed. The analysis of the area of severity is performed on the IEEE 30-bus test system by using the proposed method. The method is useful for the stochastic assesment of voltage sags and the establishment of systematic plans for voltage sag mitigation.

  • The purpose of the study was to construct a forecast system of flood inundation area at natural stream channels. The study built the system to interpret the flood inundation area in four stages ; constructing topography data around the stream channel, interpreting flood discharge, interpreting flood elevation in the stream channel, and interpreting the flood inundation and mapping. According to the result of the analysis, as for the characteristic of flood inundation around the area within the purview of this study, although there were areas where flood inundation over a bank caused a flooded area, the failure of the internal drainage in the ground lower than flood elevation caused more serious problems. Rather than the existing method where only the estimated flood elevation data is used based on the hydrographical stream channel trace model(such as the HEC-RAS model) to establish the flood inundation area, if the procedure introduced in this study was applied to interpret the floodplain, actual flood inundation area could be visibly confirmed.
