In this study, the water quality investigated during 2002s to 2004s for Anyang river and its affluent that was based on biological and chemical methods as well as ecological index of each streams. The improving of water quality and the multiplicity of specious in the most streams except for Anyang, which was due to the improving of water quality and water resource. The seasonal dry states are completely disappeared, but water quality of Anyang main stream was classified as fifth grades water with BIP 8.51~10.00 and BOD 8.16~14.4mg/l in Anyang stream overall. And alpha-mesosaprobic in upper, mid parts and polysaprobic in down parts of Anyang main stream are appeared according to Saprobien system, respectively. The water supply of treated sewage is appeared that upgrading effects of water quality in Anyang main stream and affluents of Anyang city area, but the practical effects of "Saving Anyang River" could not gained because the water quality of other branches in upstream parts than upstream measuring point of Anyang main stream, Wanggok stream Sanbon stream in Gunpo and Eeiwang cities, was not improved.

In order to develop an appropriate set of criteria applicable for environmental impact assessment (EIA) of natural forest 8 items are proposed. The criteria are vegetation distribution area (DA), distribution pattern (DP), size (S), diameter of breast height of tree (DBH), humus (H), sustainment (ST), successional stage (SS) and impact of adjacent ecosystem (IAE), Each criterion has an interval which minimum 1 score to maximum 5 score Forest Evaluation Index (FEI) was obtained as the sum of 8 criteria value. Above 70% is considered to be absolutely conservative and from 50% to 70% range of total score is to be considered conservative. In the case of the Sancho˘ng Pumping-up Power Plant of Mt. Chiri, 8 criteria were applied base on actual vegetation map. Pinus densiflora community got 73%(29 scores) and Quercus variabilis - Q. serrata community got 60%(24 scores). This may be said that this local vegetation has high ecological potentiality. These criteria cannot always be absolutely evaluation tool. So it is expected to take the more time to be developed further, and holistically added by the other field such as fauna, geological feature etc.

Local government with abundant natural resources should consider the nature conservation oriented planning process for the sustainable development. With this regard, the aim of this study is to provide a substantial methodology to support the decision-making process to designate the conservation areas. The objectives of the proposed methodology is to conserve natural resources in the local government's territory through quantitatively assessing the values of the natural resources based on various ecological factors such as topography, flora and fauna. In order to test the usability of the method, Gangneung City in Kangwon-Do is selected considering the latest data availability. Based on the assessment process land use of the subjected city could be categorized into 4 levels of conservative area, conservative level 1 area, conservative level 2 area, and conservative level 3 area. Among them, conservative area and conservative level 1 area could be combined as natural resources conservation area and the others could be regarded as buffer and transitional area. Especially conservation area is surrounded by conservation level 2 area. Conclusively, the GIS methods adopted in this could be the efficient illustrative tool to assess the local natural resource values with the central government established nature-environmental information systems.

산업화로 인한 급격한 도시화와 인구의 증가는 필연적으로 도시의 확장을 초래하였으며 이는 자연성의 감소로 이어져 생태계 선순환의 가장 큰 위협요소로 다가오고 있다. 이러한 생태계의 위기는 인류의 위기를 동반할 것이라는 공통된 인식의 확장으로 세계 각국은 ESI, EPI, SDI 등 범 국가적인 환경지표 이외에 한 국가 단위나 지방자치단체 단위, 또는 개인단위의 환경소비량을 측정하여 각 지역 간의 비교, 또는 개인의 적정한 소비수준을 지표로서 나타내는 연구들이 수행되고 있다. 이러한 배경으로 본 연구는 경상북도지역 23개 지방자치단체별로 환경용량을 추정하고자 수행 되었다. EF지수의 추정 결과 경상북도지역민 1인당 생활에 필요한 EF지수값은 0.9534를 나타내고 있었으며 생태수용력을 고려한 생태적자 분석에서 25.3%의 적자를 보이는 것으로 추정하였다. 또한 경상북도지역 지방자치단체별 EF지수분석에서 EF지수가 가장 높은 지역은 영덕군이며 가장 낮은 지역은 울릉군이었다. 하지만 각 지역의 생태수용력을 고려한 생태적자분석에서 생태적자가 가장 심한 지역은 구미시이며 생태수용력이 가장 큰 지역은 영양군으로 나타났다. 본 연구로 추정된 환경용량은 각 경상북도 지방자치단체별 생태수용력과 생태적자 규모를 수치로 나타낸 것이다. 추정된 각 지방자치단체별 적정 환경용량은 환경의 보존과 적절한 개발의 규모를 제시해 주고 더 나아가서는 개발시설, 또는 보존지역의 위치를 선정할 경우 각 지방자치 단체 소속 구성원들을 설득하기 위한 기초적인 자료로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

The wetlands are facing environmental changes such as desiccation that occurs with the passage of time and reduced ecosystem services from wetlands in the city. In order to maintain the ecosystem services provided by wetlands in urban areas, a system thinking about the trade-off phenomenon of ecosystem services occurring as the wetlands undergo environmental changes is needed. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop strategies for wetland design using system thinking approach to enhance the resilience of ecosystem services degraded by the desiccation of wetlands and other disturbances. The objectives of this study include the system boundary and variables. Second, analyzing the dynamics of wetland design strategy. Third, it analyzes the trade-off phenomenon of ecosystem services in terms of the hydrology, hydric soil, and plants strategies to mitigate these effects. Fourth, wetland basic design to improve the resilience of ecosystem services. A wetland in Abuk-Mountain Neighborhood Park, Miryang-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, has been selected as a case study. Causal loop diagrams(CLDs) are used to analyze feedback in the wetland regime. In summary, hydrology, hydric soil, and plants is suggested as system boundaries to design plan. Design strategies for the wetland focused on robustness, redundancy, rapidity, and resourcefulness as a result of CLD analysis are first proposed in order to effectively maintain the wetland regime over the long term. Secondly, in a section related to hydrology, the CLD results show the trade-offs between provisioning-cultural services and regulating services. In order to control these services, a "water cycling system" has been implemented due to its strength in terms of robustness. The CLDs for hydric soil showed the trade-offs between regulating services and supporting services. An "installation of storm drainage for maintaining water levels" was selected due to the strength offered in terms of redundancy and rapidity. The CLDs for plants showed the trade-offs between provisioning - cultural services and regulating services. In order to control the strategic points, the "planting of indigenous vegetation" was suggested given the strength in terms of redundancy. In this study, a wetland design method is proposed that can improve the resilience of wetland ecosystem services by analyzing the dynamics overtime. The results of this research can theoretically be applied to help restore ecosystem services in wetlands using ecological landscape design. In addition, this study will contribute to reducing maintenance costs by improving wetland resilience.

울산시의 대표적인 5개 도시하천인 무거천, 약사천 여천천, 명정천 및 척과천 등 5개 하천을 대상으로 유지용수 공급방법과 그에 따른 생태복원 정도를 조사하여 비교 검토하였다. 유지용수의 지속적인 공급으로 하천의 수질을 획기적으로 개선시킬 수 있었고 생태계가 점진적으로 복원되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 하지만 염도가 높거나 수질이 좋지 못한 유지 용수는 비록 많은 양을 공급하더라도 생태계 복원에 도움이 되지 못하거나 오히려 악영향을 미칠 수 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 하폭이 좁은 도시하천을 생태하천으로 조성하거나 유지하기 위해서는 산책로 조성 등 시설물 설치는 최소화해야 하고, 적절한 유지용수 확보와 본류 하천과의 연결성이 가장 중요한 것으로 판단되었다.

To improve the ecological function of urban areas, the guideline for applying the Biotope Area Ratio to the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) was developed in 2005 and modified in the July, 2017. This study investigates whether the guideline has been actually practiced in the real world by searching reports including 648 cases of the Strategic Environmental Impact Assessment (SEIA) and 471 cases of the EIA. The results show that the 38% of SEIA and the 43% of EIA include sections about Biotope Area Ratio, and the 15% of SEIA and the 25 % of EIA are satisfied the threshold of the Biotope Area Ratio suggested by the guideline. The statistical analysis results show that this low level of practice was not improved through the modification of the guideline in 2017. This is because the guideline is forcibleness, its explanation is unclear, and stockholders' understanding of it lacks. In addition, lack of tracking management on SEIA and EIA also contributes to the low level of practice of the guideline. To promote the practice, the efforts to legislate and publicize the guideline are required.
