  • In many very high density cities in Asia in which there is limited area to expand, growth is forced upward as well as outward. Densely packed detached houses and low-rise buildings are replaced by lower density high-rises, leaving open spaces between high-rise buildings. Through this process, areas that formerly did not have much green space gain valuable green spaces, and new ecological corridors and patches are created. In this study, the demographic and housing-type changes of Wonju City were delineated using land use maps, aerial images, census data, and other administrative data. Green area changes were calculated using land cover data derived from multi-year Landsat TM satellite imagery. The values were then compared against demographic and housing-type changes for each administrative unit. The overall results showed a decrease of forested area in the city and an increase of developed area. Urban sprawl was clearly visible in many of the suburban areas. However, as expected, we also detected areas in which greenness did not decrease when the population greatly increased. These areas were characterized by residential building complexes of ten or more stories. If an equal number of housing units had been built as detached houses, these areas would not have kept as much green space. Our research result showed that high-density and high-rise residential structures can offer an alternative means to protect or create urban green spaces in high-density urban environments.

  • Background: The population of Gangneung City in South Korea has shown a gradual increase in the proportion of individuals aged 65 years and older, and the most frequently reported diseases for several years have consistently been periodontal diseases, including gingivitis and periodontitis. The regional imbalance in the distribution of dental personnel and resources has emerged as a problem of inequality in the use of dental care. It has been advocated to identify areas with disadvantages in dental care and develop public dental policies based on that. This study aimed to develop a customized oral healthcare program for local seniors based on a Public-Private-Academic Partnership, and to evaluate the oral health status of older adults in Gangneung City. Methods: The participants were residents aged 60 years and above in Gangneung City. A questionnaire including general information, systemic health status, and oral health status was administered to the participants. In addition, oral healthcare and education tailored to each individual's health status were provided once or twice based on their oral health status. The collected data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 25 for descriptive statistical analysis. Results: Among the older adults in Gangneung City, 75% had at least one prosthesis and exhibited symptoms of gingivitis or periodontitis. Additionally, the modified sulcus bleeding index decreased among participants who underwent the program twice. Over 90% of the participants expressed satisfaction with the program. Conclusion: The program appeared to contribute positively to the oral health promotion among local seniors. Further oral healthcare programs should focus on seniors in rural and old urban areas to reduce disparities in oral health across regions.

  • 최근 농경지의 급격한 감소와 더불어 도시화, 경지정리, 도로공사 및 혁신도시 건설 등으로 토지이용의 변화가 심하게 발생되고 있다. 특히, 토지이용 변화심화지역인 경기도 고양시, 충청남도 천안시, 강원도 원주시를 대상으로 토지 이용변화실태, 토양특성변화양상, 토양도수정내용 및 기업도시 등으로 편입되는 지역의 토양환경분석을 하였다. 이에 대한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 우리나라의 경지면적 (2011년)은 2009년대비 17.3 ha가 감소되었다. 논의 경우 24.2 ha가 감소되었으나, 밭의 경우에는 7.0 ha가 증가하였다. 2. 논의 면적 감소사유로는 논밭전환 (20.7 ha) > 공공시설 (3.2) ${\geq}$ 건물건축 (3.2) > 유휴지 (1.3) > 기타 (0.9) 순이며, 밭 면적의 증가원인은 논밭전환 (20.7 ha) > 개간 (4.5) > 복구 (0.3) 순이었다. 논밭전환의 이유는 논농사에서 농가소득이 높은 밭작물 내지 시설작물로 전환하는 것으로 생각된다. 3. 토지이용변화가 심한 해당시군의 농경지감소 (논, 밭, 과수)는 밭토양조사 (1995~1999) 당시와 비교 (2011년)할 때 고양시는 1,466 ha, 천안시 9,708, 원주시 6,980 ha가 감소되었으며, 1999년 대비 45%~25%의 농경지가 급격히 감소되었다. 4. 환경부 토지이용피복도의 통계자료 활용성을 검토하기 위해 농식품부 통계자료와 비교시 지목별로 큰 차이가 있었다. 따라서, 추후 면밀한 검토를 통하여 활용 방안을 마련해야 할 것이다. 5. 원주시의 토양정보 변경내용을 보면 곡간지의 일부 논토양이 밭 또는 과수원으로 토지이용이 변경되었으며, 배수등급의 경우 도로건설 등으로 인해 저습화되는 등 해당 토양의 일부 특성정보가 변경되었다. 특히, 논토양의 경우 시설재배지, 밭, 과수원, 휴경, 성토화 등으로 토지 이용의 변화가 심하였다. 6. 원주시 혁신도시에 편입되는 논토양은 급지가 떨어지는 3~4급지가 대부분으로 3급지 70.8%, 4급지 29.2%이었다. 밭토양 역시 4급지가 88.7%인 토양으로 우량 급지가 혁신도시 건설에 속하지는 않았다. 앞으로 우량농경지 보전을 위해 제도적 장치의 마련이 필요하다고 생각한다.

  • Urban Air Mobility is gaining attention as a solution to traffic congestion and air pollution in large cities, but Gangneung, the case area of this study, is a medium-sized city focusing on tourism and connectivity with other public transport rather than congested traffic. Introducing UAM here focuses on integrating aircraft that carry people, vertiports for vertical take-off and landing, and corridors through which UAM can fly. While research on aircraft and vertiports is actively conducted, studies on corridors are still lacking. Thus, this study selected a route in Gangneung, a medium-sized city in Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province, that allows UAM flights with minimal risk. For this, a safety distance specific to building heights was determined, and the damage radius in case of aircraft crashes was calculated to select the route with the least possible damage during crash or collision incidents. For analysis, aerial photos and digital maps of Gangneung City, along with building information data, were used to create high-resolution orthophotos and digital elevation models. Based on the created data, GIS-based spatial analysis and three-dimensional visualization were conducted, and a suitable UAM route for Gangneung City was determined.

  • This study aims to provide the biological and geographical materials to identify the changes in population of Family Ardeidae included Egretta alba modesta, Egretta garzetta, Bubulcus ibis, and Nycticorax nycticorax and establish their conservation measurement in terms of the fragmented and deteriorated habitat by human development such as housing and park projects. Wonjucheon Stream was measured the highest species diversity since the survey site was relatively less interfered by the surrounding human beings showing lower disturbance elements. However, the closer the stream comes downstream, the more the artificial disturbance elements generate, confirming that the species better adapted to contamination grow in more density so that the species composition becomes simplified. It implies that feeding place as well as breeding-growing places is also more closely related to the changes in population structure and species composition of Family Ardeidae. The results of Family Ardeidae immigration in Taejang-dong, Wonju, among the other survey sites, revealed that a total of 231 came to the site in 2006; and 210 in 2011, showing more or less reduction in the population. In the mean while, Namyang-dong in Hwaseong City showed the continuous decrease in population number of Family Ardeidae with 135 before development and 60 during development, resulting in the number never growing but continuously narrowing over and over after development. As a result of surveying the number of Family Ardeidae that bred following the findings above, Taejang-dong in Wonju City had 4 species of Family Ardeidae being bred, however, showing the decrease in number of population from 998 in 2006 to 589 in 2011. Namyang-dong in Hwaseong was confirmed to have as many as 352 of the population in 2006 and 230 in 2008; after the deforestation on their habitat, they had not lived in the site any longer, suggesting that the development would significantly affect Family Ardeidae.

  • A gradual increase in the number of people with disabilities and the elderly in our everyday life has changed our perceptions toward them. The concept of barrier free space has been gradually incorporated into the social system and into our everyday life, and has further developed into the universal design concept so that creating an environment where all inhabitants of a city are able to enjoy the space of everyday life. Against this backdrop, this study has conducted research on how to improve the accessibility of major public spaces in Wonju, Chuncheon, and Gangneung, or major metropolitan cities of Gangwon Province. The research has been conducted under the assumption that the conditions of utilizing public spaces in those cities will not meet public expectations compared to private spaced despite being iconic cities of Gangwon Province. The field survey results show that the concept of barrier free space is reflected, to some extent, in planning and development although its role in terms of using such space is not up to expectations. In particular, the buildings and facilities built prior to the enforcement of relevant policies are found to leave much to be desired due to unsatisfactory development plans between architecture and urban public space, which necessitates improvement on relevant policies, sincere efforts of local governments, and practical guidelines that can be useful in the implementation stage. Above all, building owners and public administrations are advised to raise their awareness on the concept of universal design so that it is firmly rooted in our everyday life as one of the universal values. It should lead to the efforts of the members of local cities in providing the environment where people are able to enjoy these utilities from the perspective of promoting public welfare.

  • 측량법 개정으로 세계측지계를 전면 사용하게 됨에 따라 기존 한국측지계로 구축된 원주시 UIS DB의 좌표 변환을 수행해야 한다. 그러나 원주시는 한국측지계의 구성과와 신성과로 이원화된 기준점 성과를 이용하여 지형공간정보 자료가 구축되어 있어 좌표체계가 통일되어 있지 않음으로 각 기준점 성과에 대한 세계측지계 변환 방안이 요구된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 한국측지계의 기준점 성과별 좌표변환계수를 산출하고, 변환계수에 대한 정확도를 검증하여 한국측지계상 이원화된 원주시 도시기반정보 DB를 효과적으로 세계측지계로 전환할 수 있었다.

  • The writer measured methemoglobin formation with solvent (n-hexane, ethylacetate and methanol) organic extracts from the sediments of the Wonju stream run through Wonju city on Octover 2nd, 1985. Hemoglobin was converted to methemoglobin with the n-hexane extract obtained from the sediment of the St. C and St. D was polluted industrial wastewater, but not with that from the St. B was polluted with the urban wastewater. The formation of methemoglobin was remarkable with the all solvent extracts from the sediment of the uper stream of the Wonju stream. Doses of the solvent extracts for 20% methemoglobin formation in the researched Wonju streams were as follows; 0.095~0.28 mg/m.$\ell$ in n-hexane extract. 0.85-1.3 mg/ m$\ell$ in methanol extract and 1.95~2.80 mg/m$\ell$ in ethylacetate extract.
