  • Recently there have been increasing demands and desire for the urban open space due to urban development or environmental deterioration. Urban natural parks in Seoul provide citizens with comfortable open space and thus play an important role as learning spaces to experience nature and understand the environment. Accordingly, this study aims to analyze existing vegetation and provide basic data for the conservation and management plans of urban natural parks and education programs. The contents of the study encompass natural environment such as topography, altitude, slope and aspect and botanical ecosystem including the structure of plant communities and tree growth. According to the result of topography analysis, the overall altitude was not high but the slope was relative steep. Vegetation of Seoo Royal Tomb, a urban natural park has been classified into 12 types, and they include; Quercus acutissima community(lowland type), Quercus acutissima community(valley type), quercus variabilis community, Quercus mongolica community, Castanea crenata community, Capinus laxiflora community, Pinus densiflora community(lowland type), Pinus densiflora community(slope type), Robinia pseudo-acacia community, Populos$\times$albaglandulosa community, Pinus rigida community, and Pinus koraiensis community. Based on the survey and analysis results, we have classified the study area into conservation, buffer, and utilization zones for the effective management. This study provides basic data to support the establishment of master plans for urban natural parks by analyzing vegetation conditions at Seoo Royal Tomb, an urban natural park, Based on the results presented in the study, consistent monitoring work needs to be conducted, and elaborate management plans also should be prepared.

  • This study analyzed the factors affecting urban residents' expectations and participation in community gardens to present basic data of guidelines for community garden management. Urban citizens valued the necessity of community gardens overall, especially residents with outdoor gardens. The experience of private gardens was important in perceiving the need for community gardens, which are public spaces. The creation of community gardens had high expectations for social aspects such as improving quality of life, health promotion, and community revitalization. In particular, residents living in individual housing have high expectations for revitalization of the community, and community gardens can be a mediator for forming and maintaining local communities. Through this, the citizens' perception on the role and function of the garden as a community space could be examined. Expectations for quality of life, health promotion, and community revitalization are factors affecting the necessity of community garden. Participation was high in the creation and management of the community garden, and the necessity of community gardens, expectation for community revitalization, and expectation for environmental purification are factors that affect participation in the management of community gardens. The amount of donations that the residents are willing to pay for community garden management was KRW 75,222 /year on average. Overall, residents with higher need for community gardens and higher social expectation showed higher participation. Urban citizens have high expectations for community gardens, and they perceive the importance of social aspects more than personal aspects such as community revitalization and quality of life. As a strategy for increasing community involvement, it is necessary to set up the processes, determine participants' composition and roles, and establish a system to promote participation. Considering welfare aspects such as community revitalization and improvement of residents' quality of life, motivation and administrative support for participation in the creation and management of community gardens will serve as important factors.

  • An attempt to clarify the landscape structure of urban areas was carried out on Mt. Hwangryung located in the center of Pusan, southern Korea. By means of aerial photographs and field survey, a vegetation map including land-use pattern was made. Landscape structure was described by analyzing the vegetation map. Landscape element types were classified into secondary forest, introduced plantation, and other elements including urbanized area. almus firma and Pinus thunbergii communities, introduced plantation elements, formed matrix and some secondary forest elements and the other artificial plantations of small scale tended to distribute as small patches in such matrix. The number of patches per unit area in secondary forest elements was more than that in introduced plantation element. The result on patech size was vice versa. As the results of landscape ecological analyses, it was estimated that differentiation of patches recognized in community level would be related to artificial interference and those in sub-communities levels to natural process such as progression of succession. On the other hand, restoration plans in viewpoints of restoration and landscape ecology were suggested to improve ecological quality of Mt. hwangryung.

  • The relation of food and supplemental intake of iron, vitamin E and ascorbic acid and other lifestyle variables to packed cell volume (PCV) and serum vitamin levels was studied in urban and rural (71% Amish) communities. Subjects were interviewed (24-h dietary recalls) on three occasions over 18-months, and blood samples were taken (maximum observations = 442). Mean PCV was lower in rural males (43.3) than in urban males (45.4) despite higher man food iron intake (18.7 and 14.4 mg/day, respectively). Mean meal iron availability was higher at lunch and lower at breakfast and dinner for rural than for urban subjects. Smoking was the number one variable in males and females explaining variance in PCV. Supplemental vitamin E and ascorbate intakes explained the most variance in serum vitamin E and ascorbate levels, respectively. Serum vitamin E was also associated with supplemental ascorbate intake (r=0.29). Serum ascorbate was also associated with food ascorbate intake (r=0.28) and body weight (r=-0.24).

  • The rising urban space in the United States at the turn of the twentieth century was an exemplary site of struggles between the dominant white population and those who migrated from the imperial peripheries. By setting up the space of Chinatown as a segregated sphere within the urban space, the dominant white American society attempted to recreate the sense of distance between themselves and the racial "others." Accordingly, the dominant narrative representations of San Francisco Chinatown at the turn of the century endeavored to produce and maintain the spatial dichotomies between the orderly spaces of natives and the disruptive immigrant communities within the larger boundary of modern American city space. As a Eurasian woman writer, Sui Sin Far attempted to provide distinctive portrayals of the space of Chinatown and its inhabitants that were far different from those of her contemporaries. Through her portrayals of San Francisco Chinatown in her collection of short-stories, Mrs. Spring Fragrance and Other Writings (1912), Far challenges against the false stereotypes and misreading of this unique immigrant space within and efforts to present the Chinatown as a heterotopic diaspora space where the "insiders" and the "outsiders" of the American urban space intermingle and influence each other.

  • The purpose of this research was to investigate and analyse how Community Forest Initiatives as urban fringe management initiatives made alliances with a variety of interest groups, enrol them in the urban fringe management processes using the Actor Network Theory. The Thames Chase Community Forest Initiative was selected and its area of operation included a $97 km^2$ area of green-belt area in East London. It was a instrument far improving and protecting the unique characteristics of the countryside landscape from urban developments as well as evaluating the impact of forestry inclusion in land use planning in the urban fringe. It was operated through a tiered structure comprising the Thames Chase Joint Committee and the management team. They employed a variety of devices to speak with one voice to bring about an effective operation process and to secure the enrolment of a variety of interest groups in its operational processes. Of note, the initiative's actor network impacted on improvement to and management of the countryside landscape despite not owning any land itself. As a result, when urban fringe management initiatives will be launched in South Korea to achieve a more effective and efficient urban fringe management, local councillors and representatives from public and non-government bodies should be more responsive to local communities' views and needs and work more vigorously on their behalf through lobbying, seeking media support, and so on. Moreover, better understanding and communication between local authorities' officers and management initiatives' teams are essential to avoid duplication of work practice.

  • 서울 남동부에 위치한 도시하천인 양재천의 복원구간에서 7년간 식물상과 식생 분포 및 구조의 변화를 모니터링하였다. 1998년 가을부터 1999년 봄까지 복원구간에서 다양한 친자연 하천복원기법이 채택되어 시공되었다. 복원시공 7년후에 복원구간의 식물종수와 다양도지수는 비복원구간보다 높았다. 그러나 1999-2001년 사이의 복원후 초기단계로부터 복원후 7년까지는 다양도지수는 감소하였다. 우점종은 황무지식물인 환삼덩굴로부터 다년생인 갈대로 변화하였다. 복원공사에 의하여 새로 형성된 교란지에 식재되거나 도입된 종과 외래 혹은 황무지 식물이 복원공사 후 감소됨에 따라서 주요인분석의 결과에서 복원후 초기와 7년후 식물상 구조가 뚜렷이 구분되었다. 복원 시공 후에 시간이 경과함에 따라서 환삼덩굴과 망초 군집의 분포면적은 감소하였고 갈대와 물억새 군집의 면적이 증가하였다. 식물 군집의 DCA(detrended correspondence analysis) 결과에서 복원공사후 교란된 식생에서 안정된 자연식생으로 변화하였다. 복원구간에서 총 7종의 버드나무가 발견되었는데, 이중 2종은 식재된 것이고 나머지는 자연적으로 유입된 것이었다. 모니터링 결과로부터 양재천 복원구간에서 식물상과 식생구조는 성공적으로 회복이 되었으며 이 구간이 도시하천에서 하천복원의 모델 장소가 될 수 있다고 판단되었다.

  • 본 연구는 도입단계에 있는 우리나라 민 관 파트너십 도시공원의 실태 분석결과를 성숙단계에 있는 다양한 국외사례와 민 관 파트너십 도시공원의 계획과정(민 관 파트너십 형성${\rightarrow}$공원조성${\rightarrow}$공원 운영 관리) 속에서 비교분석(Gap Analysis)함으로써 우리나라 민 관 파트너십 도시공원의 전개방향과 파트너 십 활성화를 위한 단서를 찾는다는 것에 연구의 의의가 있다. 국내외 민 관 파트너십 도시공원 사례를 비교분석 결과, 앞으로 우리나라 도시공원의 전개방향은 다음과 같이 요약될 수 있겠다. 첫째, 지금까지 민 관 파트너십 도시공원 사례가 지자체 중심의 단일 또는 소수 파트너가 주도해 조성 관리했다면 앞으로는 도시공원의 유형별로 효율적인 다 부문간의 파트너십(Multi-Sector Partnership)을 형성해 도시공원을 조성 관리해 나가야 할 것이다. 도시공원은 공익이 우선 시 되는 공간이므로 장기적인 관점에서 다양한 민 관 부문 관계자들의 목소리를 반영시켜야 하겠다. 둘째, 도시공원은 완성되는 것이 아니라 계속 만들어져 가는 공공 공간이다. 따라서 결과 중심이 아닌 과정 중심으로 접근해야 한다. 지금까지 국내 사례분석 결과, 민 관 파트너십의 개념이 도시공원의 조성과정에 적용되는데 치우쳐 있다는 것은 도시공원의 양적 확충에 중심을 두고 있었다는 것을 의미한다. 도시공원이 지역사회 내에서 공공 공간으로서의 가치를 지속적으로 만들어내기 위해서는 결국 공원의 조성과정뿐 아니라 이후 운영 관리 과정에서의 민 관 파트너십이 요구된다. 셋째, 민-관 파트너십 도시공원 관리가 효과적이고 지속적이기 위해서는 결국 지역사회 참여가 바탕이 되어야 하겠다. 지역사회의 참여는 도시공원의 가치에 대한 민 관 부문 모두의 의식 전환이 전제되어야 하므로 오랜 시간이 소요된다. 따라서 우리나라에서는 서울그린트러스트와 같은 비영리단체가 민 관 파트너십을 통해 크고 작은 도시공원을 조성 및 관리하면서 성공사례들이 축척 될 필요가 있겠다.

  • 녹색 섬의 형태로 존재하는 도시숲은 대도시에 서식하는 생물들의 주 서식공간이다. 도시숲은 면적이 적고, 임연부의 비율이 높다. 이러한 특성 때문에 도시 외곽의 산림의 나비군집에 비해 도시숲의 나비군집는 종다양성이 낮고, 초지종, 숲가장자리종과 생태지위 범위가 더 넓은 일반종의 비율이 높을 것으로 예상된다. 이러한 사실을 밝히기 위해 전형적인 도시숲인 홍릉숲에서 나비를 선조사법으로 주별로 조사하였다. 홍릉숲의 나비군집은 도시외곽의 산림에 사는 나비군집에 비해 종다양성이 월등히 낮았고, 초지종, 숲가장자리종과 일반종의 비율이 높아 예측되는 것과 동일한 결과를 얻었다. 홍릉숲에서 멸종위기 2급종인 쌍꼬리부전나비가 관찰됨으로서, 도시숲은 희귀종의 보존에 중요한 역할을 한다고 할 수 있다.
