The purpose of this paper is to discuss the function of microclimate amelioration of urban trees regarding the environmental benefits of street trees in summer, focusing on the heat pollution-urban heat island, tropical climate day's phenomenon and air pollution. We measured the diurnal variation of air/ground temperatures and humidity within the vegetation canopy with the meteorological tower observation system. Summertime air temperatures within the vegetation canopy layer were 1-2$^{\circ}C$ cooler than in places with no vegetation. Due to lack of evaporation, the ground surface temperatures of footpaths were, at a midafternoon maximum, 8$^{\circ}C$ hotter than those under trees. This means that heat flows from a place with no vegetation to a vegetation canopy layer during the daytime. The heat is consumed as a evaporation latent heat. These results suggest that the extension of vegetation canopy bring about a more pleasant urban climate. Diurnal variation of air/ground temperatures and humidity within the vegetation canopy were measured with the meteorological tower observation system. According to the findings, summertime air temperatures under a vegetation canopy layer were 1-2$^{\circ}C$ cooler than places with no vegetation. Due mainly to lack of evaporation the ground surface temperature of footpaths were up to 8$^{\circ}C$ hotter than under trees during mid-afternoon. This means that heat flows from a place where there is no vegetation to another place where there is a vegetation canopy layer during the daytime. Through the energy redistribution analysis, we ascertain that the major part of solar radiation reaching the vegetation cover is consumed as a evaporation latent heat. This result suggests that the expansion of vegetation cover creates a more pleasant urban climate through the cooling effect in summer. Vegetation plays an important role because of its special properties with energy balance. Depended on their evapotranspiration, vegetation cover and water surfaces diminish the peaks of temperature during the day. The skill to make the best use of the vegetation effect in urban areas is a very important planning device to optimize urban climate. Numerical simulation study to examine the vegetation effects on urban climate will be published in our next research paper.

The purpose of this paper is to suggest practical suggestions to mitigate Urban Heat Island(UHI) problems in Daegu regarding urban surface temperature. Urban street trees's size and the relations between urban land use types and surface temperature are analysed using aerial photos, the numerical value map and Landsat TM image with special reference to Jung-gu. Total urban street tree's crown size is $156,217.6m^2$ and it is equal to 2.24% of study area. In addition, the size of 'city and residential area' is $6,681,870m^2$(95.7% of study area), which causes UHI and the total size of 'river' shows the lowest surface temperature area and 'road' and 'business and service area' are the highest surface temperature zones. Therefore, it is probable that the network between urban street trees and the lowest surface temperature areas mitigate UHI effects.

Street trees have been incorporated into urban forests to regulate the microclimate and provide shade as well as provide aesthetic and environmental functions and to evaluate their physiological characteristics. Zelkova serrata is a major tree species that has been planted on various South Korean streets. We determined the physiological characteristics of Z. serrata in street trees of Goyang and Paju in Gyeonggi Province. According to survey sites, net CO₂ assimilation rates was 13.9-16.4 µmol CO₂ m^-2s^-1, chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv/Fm) was 0.80-0.82, and proline contents was showed 3.4-3.7 mg g^-1 FW. The studied trees were assumed to be physiologically stressed, but it was found that Z. serrata was planted as street trees were not significantly stressed when compared to chlorophyll fluorescence responses and proline contents. In the future, the continuous monitoring system is needed to evaluate the physiological characteristics of urban trees.

도시의 인구 집중과 무분별한 개발은 대기오염, 열섬현상과 같은 다양한 환경 문제들을 유발하며, 자연재해로 인한 피해 상황을 악화시키는 등 인재의 원인이 되고 있다. 도심 수목은 이러한 도시 문제들의 해결방안으로 제시되어왔으며, 실제로 환경 개선 기능을 제공하는 등 중요한 역할들을 수행한다. 이에 따라 수목이 도시 환경에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 도심 수목에서 개별목에 대한 정량적인 측정 및 분석이 요구된다. 그러나 도심 수목의 복잡성 및 다양성은 단일 수목 탐지 정확도를 낮추는 문제점이 존재한다. 따라서 본 연구는 수목 개체에 대해 효과적인 탐지가 가능한 고해상도 항공영상 및 object detection에서 뛰어난 성능을 발휘한 You Only Look Once Version 5 (YOLOv5) 모델을 사용하여 도심 수목을 효과적으로 탐지하는 연구를 진행하였다. 수목 AI 학습 데이터셋의 구축을 위한 라벨링 가이드라인을 생성하고 이를 기준으로 동작구 수목에 대해 box annotation을 수행하였다. 구축된 데이터셋으로부터 다양한 scale의 YOLOv5 모델들을 테스트하고 최적의 모델을 채택하여 효율적인 도심 수목 탐지를 수행한 결과, mean Average Precision (mAP) 0.663의 유의미한 결과를 도출하였다.

본 연구는 미국 샌프란시스코시 수목 음영이 개별 건물 지붕 및 옥상에 입사되는 태양에너지 잠재량에 미치는 영향을 LiDAR를 이용한 고해상도 3차원 수치모델을 이용하여 공간적으로 정량화하였다. 최근 분산형 태양광 발전이 기후변화 대응에 중요한 부분으로 주목받고 있으나, 이러한 도심 태양광 발전은 주변부의 지형, 건물, 지붕모양, 수목 등의 음영에 의해 발전량이 제한되는 특성이 있다. 특히 건물 주변의 수목의 경우 도시열섬현상의 저감, 냉난방 에너지 수요량의 절감 등의 순기능과 태양광 발전량 감소의 역기능을 동시에 가지고 있어 두 가지 효용의 상충을 최소화하기 위해 해당 위치에 대한 공간적 분석이 요구된다. 샌프란시스코시 전체 건물 지붕면적의 태양에너지 총량은 년간 18,326,671 MWh으로, 수목의 음영에 의한 감소량은 326,406 MWh로 총량의 1.78%에 해당하였다. 건물지붕의 단위 면적당 일조량은 $34.4kWh/m^2/year$에서 $1,348.4kWh/m^2/year$ 범위로 산출되었다. 본 연구를 통해 도심 수목에 의한 건물별 일조에너지 감소량의 공간자료가 구축되었으며, 개별 건물지붕에 일조량의 변이를 주변 수목의 밀도, 평균수고, 수고의 분산값을 이용한 회귀모델을 통해 설명하였다. 본 연구는 도심수목의 환경적 순기능을 유지함과 동시에 태양광 발전 감소량의 최소화 할 수 있는 방법을 제공함으로써 지속가능한 도시를 구축하는데 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

21C는 문화 예술의 시대가 될 것임을 예고하고 있다. 따라서 전통적으로 지역을 연구해 온 지리학은 지역 문화에 대한 심층적 연구를 필요로 하게 되었다. 지역 문화를 밝힐 수 있는 중요한 것 중의 하나가 지역의 상징이다. 오늘날 지구 도시의 출현과 더불어 특히 도시 문화에 대한 연구는 시대적 요청이 되고 있다. 도시 문화를 도시의 상징 즉 한국 각 도시가 제정하고 있는 상징 노래(시가(市歌)), 상징새(시조(市鳥)), 상짐꽃(시화(市花)), 상징 나무(시목(市木))를 통해 분석하여 도시 상징의 공간 환경을 밝혀 보고자 한다. 한국 도시의 상징 노래를 분석해 보면 노래가사 속에는 공간 환경 요소를 포함하고 있는데, 그 중 지형 주로 산과 강의 명칭 그리고 해당 지역의 지명은 거의 모든 노래 가사 속에서 나타나고 있다. 이러한 공간 환경 요소들은 특정 도시의 정체성을 나타내 주며, 그 시민들의 통합성과 일체감을 불러일으키는 상징적 공간으로 볼 수 있다. 특히, 산 및 강과 관련된 지명은 국토의 70%가 산지지형인 우리나라에서는 풍수의 기본 요소로서 산 및 물과 관련된 상징적 공간으로 볼 수 있다. 지명 또한 그 지역의 이미지를 잘 나타내는 상징적 공간이 핀다. 한국 도시의 상징물 즉 상징새, 상징 나무, 상징꽃 분석을 통해 한국 도시의 상징물은 중복 제정이 많다. 특히 상위 계층의 상징물이 하위 계층에서 중복 제정되었다는 점이다. 이러한 상징물들은 우리 민족의 삶을 통해 내려온 상징의 공간 환경으로 볼 수 있으나, 해당 도시의 기후, 토양 등 공간 환경적 특성과 상관없이 중복 제정된 점과 정체성이 없는 외래종이 많은 점은 시대적으로 상징물을 재검토해야 할 필요성이 있다. 가장 지방적인 것이 가장 지구적인 것이 되어야 할 시대에 우리의 기후, 토양, 문화적 특성에 맞는 도시의 상징물을 정할 것이 요망된다.

Recently 3D city models are required for many applications such as urban microclimate, transportation navigation, landscape planning and visualization to name a few. The existing 3D city models mostly target on modeling buildings, but vegetation also plays an important role in the urban environment. To represent a more realistic urban environment through the 3D city model, in this research, an investigation is conducted to extract the position of trees from high resolution IKONOS imagery along with Airborne Laser Scanner data. Later, a tree growth model is introduced to simulate the growth of trees in the identified tree-positions.

Urban green spaces offer a variety of benefits to living things and humans. However, existing green spaces have been reduced and fragmented due to urbanization, and there is a limit to creating new large green spaces in densely developed cities. Street trees have fewer restrictions on land use, which can be a measure to secure green areas in cities. In Korea, excessive pruning is being done on some street trees for reasons such as blocking of building signboards, contact with electric wires, and restrictions on sidewalk widths. Therefore, it is necessary to quantitatively understand the relationship between the benefits provided by street trees and their structures to come up with an efficient and systematic planning and management plan for urban street trees. In this study, we quantitatively analyzed the relationship between the thermal comfort improvement by the shades of street trees and the vertical structure, planting environment, and types of street trees. To calculate the thermal comfort felt by human body, we calculated UTCI (Universal Thermal Climate Index) of each street tree. For the vertical structure of street trees, we used Terrestrial LiDAR and the point clouds of street tree's crown was sliced vertically at 1m intervals. We conducted a multiple regression analysis on the thermal comfort improvement using the variables we obtained from fields. As a result, in the case of a street tree's vertical structure, the lager the volume of tree's crown located 3-4m (β=0.298, p<.05) and 6-7m (β=0.568, p<.001) above clear length, the better the cooling effect. In addition, the thermal comfort improvement was assessed to decrease as the DBH increased (β=-0.435, p<.001). In general, the crown diameter and DBH are positively correlated, with a cooling effect occurring as crown diameter increases. In this study, the opposite result was obtained due to the small number of trees measured, so additional research is needed by increasing the number of tree samples. In the case of the planting environment, the effect of improving thermal comfort was higher in the shaded area of trees planted to the south (β=-0.541, p<.001). Since unsystematic management of street trees can deteriorate the function of them, quantitative evaluations of the vertical structure of street trees are required, which can provide specific measures for planning and management of urban street trees with thermal comfort effect.

Carbon storage is one of the regulating ecosystem services provided by urban street trees. It is important that evaluating the economic value of ecosystem services accurately. The carbon storage of street trees was calculated by measuring the morphological parameter on the field. As the method is labor-intensive and time-consuming for the macro-scale research, remote sensing has been more widely used. The airborne Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) is used in obtaining the point clouds data of a densely planted area and extracting individual trees for the carbon storage estimation. However, the LiDAR has limitations such as high cost and complicated operations. In addition, trees change over time they need to be frequently. Therefore, Structure from Motion (SfM) photogrammetry with unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is a more suitable method for obtaining point clouds data. In this paper, a UAV loaded with a digital camera was employed to take oblique aerial images for generating point cloud of street trees. We extracted the diameter of breast height (DBH) from generated point cloud data to calculate the carbon storage. We compared DBH calculated from UAV data and measured data from the field in the selected area. The calculated DBH was used to estimate the carbon storage of street trees in the study area using a regression model. The results demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of applying UAV imagery and SfM technique to the carbon storage estimation of street trees. The technique can contribute to efficiently building inventories of the carbon storage of street trees in urban areas.

The objective of this study is to review and verify whether the functions and effect of roadside trees generally known in theory are actually realized in urban roads and how well they are performed if the function and effect are really realized. The study was conducted with a focus on air purification effect of roadside trees. The m헤r study result is as follows. First, calculation of air purification effect of roadside trees showed that it is minimal. However, 7.4 units of broad-leaved trees is necessary in order to purify $SO_2$ discharged by one passenger car and 1,803.3 trees to purify $NO_2$. Second, regarding pollutant absorption capacity, air pollutant absorption capacity increased as the number of rows planted gets higher (i.e., 2-row plantation absorbs pollutant better than I-row plantation). In particular, "2-row plantation + lower-level shrub + buffer green belt" was as eight times high as "I-row plantation" in absorption capacity. Third, out of 30 roads with over 8 lanes in 15 cities, only 33.3% or a total of ten roads in seven cities had a median strip. Out of these ten roads, nine roads were planted in a double-layer consisting forest trees, shrubs, ground plants (grass). Analysis showed that out of six tree species planted along these roads, about a half of them were weak to air pollution. Also, based on the outcome of this study, charging a "plantation due" when people purchase a new car, improving layout of roadside trees, and reinforcing plantation of air purification tree species when selecting tree species for roadside trees were proposed.
