This study investigates the relation between the location of a habitat and the ecological connections according to the habitat type in the riparian zone at the Nonsan Stream and Yanghwa Stream. Stream habitat is classified into nine types for the aquatic insects and fish. For vegetation and birds, habitat is classified into two types of medium-scale streams, including both physical and chemical streams are analyzed accordingly. Nowadays, The fundamental goal of the river environment restoration enterprise is the rehabilitation or the restoration of the characteristic the river scenic or environment. For instance, The Channel habitats which has physical nature environment such as flat, speedy rapids, or closed-channel wetland, pool are constructed by artificial, Consequently, make them autogenesis smoothy eco-environment. However, the river environment are controlled not only physical environment, but it also need reasonable the quality of the water to compose smoothly. Finally, understanding what influence are effecting on physical habitat environment which are made by natural factors to water quality are very important factor for the river environment restoration enterprise Therefore, In this research, we are targeting to a basin to investigate the environment of the physical channel habitat and evaluate the changing of the water quality. This results will be a important characteristic that can judge the physical habitat and reciprocality connected to the water quality or adequacy of restoration technology. Therefore in this study, as a step to quantify functions and values of habitats and definite factors to perform habitat, we selected a representative stream of sand-stream, gravel-stream to classify habitat characteristics and quantified the physical, chemical, biological characteristics.

Background: In Korea, riparian zones and some floodplains have been converted into agricultural fields and urban areas. However, there are essential for maintaining biodiversity, as they are important ecological spaces. There are also very important spaces for humanity, as they perform various ecosystem services in a changing environment including climate change. Due to the importance of rivers, river restoration projects have been promoted for a long time, but their achievement has been insignificant. Development should be pursued by thoroughly evaluating the success of the restoration project. Ecological restoration is to accelerate succession, a process that a disturbed ecosystem recovers itself, with human assistance. Ecological restoration can be a test bed for testing ecological theories in the field. In this respect, ecological restoration should go beyond a 'simple landscaping exercise' and apply ecological models and theories in restoration practice. Results: The cross-section of the restored stream is far from natural rivers due to its steep slope and artificial material. The vegetation profiles of the restored streams did not reflect the flooding regime of the river. The species composition of the vegetation in the restored stream showed a significant difference from that of the reference stream, and was also different from that of an unrestored urban stream. Although species richness was high and the proportion of exotic species was low in the restored stream, the effect was offset by the high proportion of gardening and landscaping plants or obligate terrestrial plants. Conclusions: Based on both the morphological and ecological characteristics of the river, the restoration effect in the restored stream was evaluated to be very low. In order to solve the problems, a systematic adaptive management plan is urgently required. Furthermore, it is necessary to institutionalize the evaluation of restoration effects for the development of river restoration projects in the future.

본 연구는 하상인공구조물에 의해 유도되는 지하수-하천수 시스템의 상호작용을 지하수 순환을 중심으로 연구하였다. 연구지역은 충청남도 금산군 남이면 건천리의 남이휴양림으로 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위해 수리물리적 방법(수위관측)과 수리화학적 특성(pH, EC, 주 이온분석)을 분석하였으며, 이들 자료간의 연관성을 파악하기 위해서 상호상관분석을 실시하였다. 수리물리적 방법에 의한 연구결과 하상 보 수평부의 BH-14의 수위변동은 다른 지하수관정과 비교 할 때 이중퇴행양상이 빈번하게 나타났으며, 그 폭도 크게 나타났다. 또한, 수리화학적 방법에 의해 얻은 결과를 자연추적자의 개념으로 사용해 보면 지하수인 BH-14가 하천에 유사한 성향을 나타내었다. 상관성분석결과에서 수리물리적 측면인 수위에 대한 상관성분석에서 BH-14와 하상 보에서 가장 높게 나타났으며, 반면 수리화학적 측면에 대한 상관성분석에서는 하상 보와 다리의 상관성이 가장 높게 나타났다. 이는 수위와 같은 물리적 상호작용은 용질거동 없이 압력의 전파에 의해 일어나는데 반하여 수리화학적 상호작용은 용질의 거동에 의해 반응이 일어나기 때문에 더 많은 시간이 걸리기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 결과적으로 하상의 불투수성의 보에 의해 하천과 주변대수층의 경계조건이 바뀌고, 이때 지하수 시스템으로 유입되는 하천수에 의해 BH-14의 수위가 즉각적으로 상승하며, 수질에서 하천수적 성향을 나타내는 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 현상은 보의 수위가 높아질수록 더욱 증가하는 경향을 나타낸다.

최근 들어 국내에서도 생태도시를 지향하면서 도시하천을 자연형 하천으로 복원시키고 있는 사례가 증가하고 있어 B시의 상동천을 대상으로 하여 인공하천으로 조성 한 후 식생 및 어류생태계의 모니터링과 어류의 습식에 의한 조류의 제거 특성을 평가하고 하천생태계의 복원과정과 조류의 제거로 인한 수질개선방안을 연구하였다. 그 결과 기초적인 하천생태계는 조성된 후 4년이 지난 시점에서 건전하게 재생 복원되고 있었으며, 식물상 및 식생군락은 모두 관속식물 문으로 44과 73속 79종 14변종으로 총 93분류군이 관찰되었다. 어류는 총 3과 8종 354개체로 일반적으로 수질오염에 내성이 강한 참붕어, 잉어, 붕어 등이 우점 하여 출현하였으며 상대풍부도를 비교할 시 참붕어가 50.5%, 잉어 21.2%, 붕어 20.9%, 버들매치 7.1%, 미구라지 0.3% 순으로 나타났다. 실험하천 특성상 조류의 이상 증식에 따른 어류의 식이물에 대한 분석 결과 조류를 잉어(Cyprinus Carpic)는 90%이상, 붕어(Carassius Auratus)는 30% 이상 섭취하는 것으로 판명 되었다. 표본에 대한 개략적 분석에서 체장 약 34cm 개체의 잉어가 습중량 43.2g의 조류를 섭취한 것으로 조사되었는데 이는 대형개체의 잉어가 조류의 제거에 어느 정도 효과가 있는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구결과 실험하천의 수목과 수생식물은 조성 당시에 임의로 식재되어 하천생태계의 식생 특성과 수질정화 효과를 크게 기대 할 수 없었으며 앞으로 자연형 하천은 조성 당시부터 생태하천공학적인 수질 및 수리 모델링에 의하여 설계한 후 조성이 이루어져야 수질정화기능을 수행할 수 있으며 어류생태계는 잉어를 비롯한 대형개체의 도입으로 인하여 고차 소비자의 생체량이 증가함으로서 먹이사슬의 구조에 많은 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단되었으며 어류에 의한 조류제거는 일부 식이특성에 따라 습식하는 것으로 밝혀졌으나 큰 효과는 없는 것을 알 수 있었고 앞으로 더 많은 연구가 필요한 것으 로 판단되었다.

Yangjae stream was divided with Seoul and Gwacheon reach. Seoul reach was ecologically restored; however, Gwacheon reach was not. Similarity index of the bird communities between the two areas was relatively high, 79.9%. The dominant species in Seoul reach were Passer montanus, Pica pica, Paradoxornis webbianus and Anas crecca. The dominant species in Gwacheon reach were Passer montanus, Pica pica, Paradoxornis webbianus and Streptopelia orientalis. The different species was Anas crecca in Seoul and Streptopelia orientalis in Gwacheon. An eco-park was constructed along the stream of Seoul reach since 1996 but was not in Gwacheon reach; the number of species has increased in Seoul area($r^2$=0.846, p<0.01), but Gwacheon was not change($r^2$=0.023, p>0.05) since 1996. The number of individuals, however, was almost constant in both reaches(Seoul : $r^2$=0.211, p>0.05, Gwacheon : $r^2$=0.032, p>0.05). In Seoul reach, the ecological restoration of stream was helpful to increase bird diversity. The number of waterbirds such as herons, plovers, sandpipers and wagtails was higher in Gwacheon reach than in Seoul reach, but the number of ducks and songbirds was higher in Seoul reach than in Gwacheon reach. We suggest that the ecological restoration in Seoul area might have negative effects on sandpipers, plovers and wagtails inhabiting on the flood plain in stream, but positive effects on other species such as herons, ducks and songbirds. Especially, the increasing number of ducks was attributed to an artificial pond in flood plain. The difference in the number of Streptopelia orientalis between both reaches was owing to the habitat differences such as forest trees playing a role as patch in high revetment. From the present investigation, it could be concluded that the ecological restoration of the local stream must be carried out with consideration of water channels, sand banks and water front in addition to the high revetment for birds to attract diverse bird communities.

Small and large dams are installed in the course of a stream for maintaining the water level of the stream or obtaining agricultural water. Currently about 18,000 of them are installed in Korea to supply water. However, the environmental problems of small dams are well known : the interruption of stream eco-corridors, deterioration of water quality in the upper reaches of the small dam, changes in the habitats of riparian organisms, damages to the stream scenery. In a very few of these small dams artificial eco-corridors like fishways are installed, but the number is very minimal.Accordingly, to efficiently restore stream eco-corridors by removing these small dams, it will be necessary to closely examine physical impacts, such as changes in the riverbed and changes in the shape of the stream caused by the removal, chemical impacts, such as changes in water quality, and transport and accumulation of contaminated sediments and biological impacts, such as changes in the habitats of organisms, and develop related technologies in advance, and have these technologies verified through demonstration application in the sites. In this study, we analyzed the physical, chemical and ecological impacts of the removal of the above-mentioned small dams, and conducted a research on the demonstration small dam removal project for a spot investigation. As a result, the small dam removal will restore the eco-corridor, there by improving the habitat of fishes and crustaceans. The number of major underwater organisms inhabiting the Gokreungcheon, such as Korean spotted sleepers, Chinese minnows, Microphysogobio yaluensis, Abbottina rivularis, stone morokos, striped shinners, long-nosed barbels, and Chinese mitten crabs, is expected to increase, and the food chain in the ecosystem will improve so that species diversity will improve as well.

The purpose of this study is to find the bi-polar adjectives for rural stream landscape evaluation by the semantic differential scale and to suggest the major determinants of visual preference in rural stream landscapes. For this, the bi-polar adjectives for rural stream landscape evaluation was found by the method of the reliability test, and the spatial image was analyzed by the factor analysis. The level of visual preference was measured by slide simulation test, and these data were analyzed by the multiple regression. The major findings of this study can be summarized as follows : 1) Of the bi-polar adjectives expressing psychological and physical characteristics, the hi-polar adjectives which demonstrated reliability and consistency run as follows : Bi-polar adjectives expressing psychological characteristics : 'calm-bustling', 'unfamiliar-familiar', 'still-active','depressing-brisk', 'discomfortable-comfortable', 'suppressed-free', 'lifeless-living', 'quiet-noisy', 'unpleasant-pleasant'. Bi-polar adjectives expressing physical characteristics : 'artificial-natural', 'narrow-wide', 'rocky-not rocky', 'desolate-fertile', 'dirty-clean', 'enclosed-open', 'flat-steep', 'not gravelly-gravelly', 'thicketed-not thicketed', 'not weedy-weedy'. 2) Two factors, the harmony and the movement, were derived from the factor analysis for the psychological variables. Three factors, the naturalness, the rock, and the vegetation, were derived from the factor analysis for the physical variables. 3) Rural stream landscape types were classified into four types by the multi-dimensional scaling method. Type III, IV obtained higher rank of visual preference and type I, II obtained lower. 4) For all types, the factors determining the level of visual preference were found to be the harmony, the naturalness, and the vegetation. The visual preference determinants of rural stream landscape need to be considered in improving or restoring the rural stream landscapes.

Landscape structure, habitat types, vegetation structure and biodiversity in the Bokha stream chosen as a reference stream were investigated to get ecological information necessary for restoration of urban stream degraded by excessive artificial interference. Landscape structure showed a slight change between before and after flooding. Habitat types of nine sorts were identified based on ecological information obtained from field survey such as micro-topography, hydrological characteristics, disturbance regime, and so on. Each habitat holds specific organisms to each site. Consequently, the number of plant communities, and species of benthos and fish increased as the kinds of habitat type increase. Ordination of habitat types based on vegetation, benthos, and fish data reorganized them into three groups of pool types of two kinds depending on whether they are connected to the water course or not and riffle one. Vegetation showed different stratification and species composition depending on topographical position in relation to disturbance cycle. Based on the results from this study, relationship between environmental heterogeneity and biodiversity was discussed and a restoration plan was suggested in a viewpoint of vegetation.

Sediments and river waters form the channel of Hwasun-cheon were studied in sedimentological size and geochemical analyses of metallic elements for the purposes of identification of depositional environments and geochemical characteristics. The sizes of sediments are assigned to pebble to coarse sand in mean size and polymodal in distribution. And the sediments are poorly to very poorly sorted and positively skewed. According to the grain size distributions of the sediments, the Hwasun-cheon belongs to gravel-bed river on the basis of the grain size distribution of the sediments. The behaviors of metallic elements in the sediments mainly depend on not grain size distribution but the geology connected with geomorphological reliefs near the stream. Contamination indices(CI) of Zn, Cu and Pb are 2.83 to 6.96 with average 4.31 in the sediments. Hwasun-cheon is assigned to general stream type in accordance with water quality of physical factors and chemical characteristics by Piper's diagram. Though meaningful values of BOD, T-N, T-P were locally depicted near Masan-ri, Hwasun-eup and Jiseok-cheon areas, artificial metal concentration do not represent in the most area of the stream. Sediments and river water are considered that the relatively more or less high metallic contents in the stream are originated from coal mine and urban area.
