Bed changes in the Nakdong River were analyzed with long-term monitoring data for analyzing riverbed change patterns after Four Major Rivers Restoration Project (FMRRP). Also, possible long-term bed changes were predicted using one-dimensional numerical model for the section where the largest change was observed after FMRRP. The sensitive analysis was performed with different incoming sediment discharge conditions and sediment transport equations. The numerical model was calibrated by comparing short-term monitoring data and simulated results, and was applied for predicting bed change after 10 years. As a result of monitoring data analysis, the largest change in bed elevation occurred at the section between the Changnyeong-Haman and Hapcheon-Changnyeong weirs. The result of one-dimensional numerical modeling for 10 years indicated that maximum depositions of 2.07 m and 3.26 m were produced in this section.

Interest in communities continues to grow. Policies to support the community are also being strengthened. However, the problem of developmentalism that destroys the community is still present. Although it has been revealed clearly in the Four Major Rivers project, developmentalism still dominates the community. Reform of developmentalism is very important for the protection and upbringing of the community. It can be done through reforms of institutions that make developmentalism work. It can also be a result of reforms in development laws and development agencies. The reform of laws related to the land compulsory acceptance system and the reform of the development corporations including the Water Resources Corporation(the K-Waters). Here, it is necessary to transform the composition of 'community versus state' into a composition of 'community and state'. Communities and states should have complementary relationships for good societies. The reform of developmentalism is a core task.

The Youngsan River Restoration Project(YRRP) is to bring back the original appearance of the stream and to create a new waterfront. This project, which id part of the Four Major Rivers Restoration Project, began in 2009, and Juksan and Seungchon beams was completed, and waterway of Youngsan river also was constructed. Both sides of the river, bike trails, waterfront park of 70 places, including the composition and the amenities were installed. The purpose of this study is to analyze the useage behaviors and satisfaction on visitors of waterfront parks in Yeongsan River. Many visitors visit waterfront in order to walking and biking, there were many people who visit family and hobbyists club units. Visitors showed a relatively high level of satisfaction about the waterfront in the new composition such as bike trails, walking roads, and ecological parks created by the YRRP. However, the major problems was the lack of amenities in the waterfront.

This study aims to survey whether local governments have legislated laws and regulations on environment impact assessment system, to compare and analyze specific projects and their scale, assessment items, and procedures & discussion process, to identify issues and generate improvement plans, and to suggest a direction for future legislation to local governments that plan to legislate laws and regulations in the future. Major outcome of the study are as follows. First, terminologies used for environment impact assessment by local governments need to be unified. Also, laws and regulations need to be legislated soon. Second, in "urban development project" areas, a total of nine project areas including "quarrying of soil and stone, sand, gravel, and minerals" was essential common projects. A total of six project types were added or newly established compared to national systems. Among them, four project types were added within national-level project areas and two project types were not available under the national-level project areas and newly added due to the nature of local governments. Third, in terms of project scale, scale enhancement of "urban development project" was most common. Analysis showed that in case of clean natural environment such as Cheju Island, it is necessary to consider reinforcing project areas where development activities take place directly in forests or rivers such as "industrial base and complex development", "water resource development", and "development of tourism complex." Fourth, the discussion and review procedures of assessment reports were similar to those at government level. However, in case of Seoul city, it is required to write a "preparation plan" before drafting an assessment report. The city features partial introduction of scoping and screening, which allows to exempt discussion procedures if impact on environment is found to be minimal after drafting the assessment report. In case of national-level, it has a dual system that is split between Ministry of Construction and Transportation and Ministry of Environment. However, in case of environment impact assessment of local governments, it is a single system where city mayors and provincial governors are in charge of both project execution and environmental assessment. Therefore, the most important task is how to satisfy objectiveness and accountability.

As part of the Four Major Rivers Restoration Project, multifunctional weirs have been constructed in the rivers and operated for river-level management. As the weirs play a role in draining water from tributaries, the aim of this study was to determine the influence of the weirs on the water level of the Nam River, which is one of the Nakdong River's tributaries. Self-organizing maps (SOMs) and a locally weighted scatterplot smoothing (LOWESS) technique were applied to analyze the patterns and trends of water level and quality of the Nakdong River, considering the operation of the Changnyeong-Haman weir, which is located where the Nam River flows into the Nakdong River. The software program HEC-RAS was used to find the boundary points where the water is well drained. Per the study results at the monitoring points ranging between the junction of the two rivers and 17.5 km upstream toward the Nam River, the multifunctional weir influenced the water level at the Geoyrong and Daesan observation stations on the Nam River and the water quality based on automatic monitoring at the Chilseo station on the Nakdong River was affected strongly by the Nakdong River and partly by the Nam River.

Unlike in the past, the world is facing water shortages due to climate change and difficulties in simultaneously managing the risks of flooding. The Four Major Rivers project was carried out with the aim of realizing a powerful nation of water by managing water resources and fostering the water industry, and the construction period was relatively short compared to the unprecedented scale. Therefore, the prediction and analysis of how the river environment changes after the Four Major Rivers Project is insufficient. Currently, part of the construction section of the Four Major Rivers Project is caused by repeated erosion and sedimentation due to the effects of sandification caused by large dredging and flood-time reservoirs, and the head erosion of the tributaries occurs. In order to solve these problems, the riverbed maintenance work was installed, but it resulted in erosion of both sides of the river and the development of new approaches and techniques to keep the river bed stable, such as erosion and excessive sedimentation, is required. The water agent plays a role of securing a certain depth of water for the main stream by concentrating the flow so much in the center and preventing levee erosion by controlling the flow direction and flow velocity. In addition, Groyne products provide various ecological environments by forming a natural form of riverbeds by inducing local erosion and deposition in addition to the protection functions of the river bank and embankment. Therefore, after reviewing the method of determining the shape of the Groyne structure currently in use by utilizing the mobile limit flow rate and marginal reflux force, a new Critical Movement Velocity(${\bar{U}}_d$) and a new resistance coefficient formula considering the mathematical factors applicable to the actual domestic stream were developed and the measures applicable to Groyne installation were proposed.

This research is carried out for the land cover change detection in the Nakdong River basin before and after the 4 major rivers restoration project using the LiDAR DEM(Digital Elevation Model) and the multi-temporal Landsat imagery. Firstly the river basin polygon is generated by using the levee boundaries extracted from the LiDAR DEM, and the four river basin imagery are generated from the multi-temporal Landsat-5 TM(Thematic Mapper) and Landsat-8 OLI(Operational Land Imager) imagery by using the generated river basin polygon. Then the main land covers such as river, grass and bare soil are separately generated from the generated river basin imagery by using the image classification method, and the ratio of each land cover in the entire area is calculated. The calculated land cover changes show that the areas of grass and bare soil in the entire area have been significantly changed because of the seasonal change, while the area of the river has been significantly increased because of the increase of the water storage. This paper contributes to proposing an efficient methodology for the land cover change detection in the Nakdong River basin using the LiDAR DEM and the multi-temporal satellite imagery taken before and after the 4 major rivers restoration project.
