Resource evaluation for environment-friendly regional planning using GIS was implemented in Bonghwa-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do And new paradigms such as 'green tourism', 'eco-tourism', 'eco-village', were considered and applied into resource indicator system. The weighted evaluation was carried out into pixel units and the scores of every 'myeon' were compared with each others. As a result, the area that has the 'Dak-sil-ma-eul' village in Bonghwa-eup got the highest score. When compared every 'myeon' in mean scores, Bonghwa-eup got the first grade, Socheon-myeon the second grade and Choonyang-myeon the third grade. In a comprehensive view, the areas that got higher scores were the lower flat areas and the 'Dak-sil-ma-eul' village in Bonghwa-eup, north-east areas in Choonyang-myeon, north-west areas and south-east areas in Socheon-myeon. In this study, resource evaluation using indicator system and GIS was implemented, and some problems that appeared in this process were resolved.

This study analyzed hierarchy of image for visual evaluation of flare skirt. This study analyzed expression words about flare skirt with frequency data of image expression words with different length and volume of flare. Stimuli for the study were set to be 4 different volume of flare ($90^{\circ}$, $180^{\circ}$, $270^{\circ}$, $360^{\circ}$) and 3 different length of skirt(48cm, 58cm, 68cm). Stimuli were made by using I-Designer which is Virtual Sewing System. From simulation of flare skirt, the subjects were asked to write down suggested adjective freely and selected 210 adjectives. With this, we chose total 38 adjectives considering frequencies in the pre-study. And we analyzed the combination process of expression words according to construction factor of flare skirt and hierarchy of image from dendrogram which was resulted by hierarchical cluster analysis. 'Feminine' got high score in all 12 flare skirt. When the skirt was short, it was vivid, and as the skirt got longer, ordinary and pure image showed. Also, as the volume of flare got larger, the average of visual effect was higher than visual image. Visual hierarchy construction according to construction factors of flare skirt could be divided into visual image and visual effect, and visual image was shown to be form 'A type - large volume of flare and short skirt length', 'H type-small volume of flare and short skirt length' and 'X type - large volume of flare and long skirt length'.

After exposing Olive flounder and Korean rockfish to the concentration ranges of control (0 mg/L), 100 mg/L, 250 mg/L, 500 mg/L, and 1,000 mg/L, to investigate the physiological properties of suspended load on fish AST/GOT, ALT/GPT, ALP and cortisol were analyzed. As a result of the analysis, the AST/GOT, ALT/GPT, ALP and cortisol values were higher in the suspended load concentration section than in the control group. After artificial infection with S. parauberis for Olive flounder and V. harveyi for Korean rockfish exposed to suspended load, the survival rate was higher in the control group than in the suspended load concentration section. These results are related to the previously study results of suspended load that adversely affect fish, suggesting that suspended load affects the health of fish.

In order to evaluate the effect of water soluble extract of lichens (Physcia, Parmelia and Clandonia species) on liver damage, activities transaminase(GPT) and 5'-nucleotidase in serum and liver were measured in rats fed lichens extract. DNA and RNA were measured in liver and spleen, as well as various organ weights and blood components. Control group was fed water to compare with the lichen group. Three sets of experiments were conducted: the first set was done with normal rats, the second one with rats with liver damage induced by $CCl_4$ injection was divided into three subgroups. i.e. no treatment group, pre-treatment group and post-treatment group, and the third one was with rats with acute and chronic liver damage. In normal rats, lichens extract feeding reduced serum GOT and GPT activities. In liver damaged rats, both pre-and post-treatment had suppressing effect against increase of serum enzymes. In rats with acute and chronic liver damage, lichens fed group had lower activities of serum GOT, GPT and 5'-nucleotidase but higher activities of liver enzymes than control group. This effect was more pronounced in rats with acute liver damage. Liver weight increased considerably with lichens intake. Hemoglobin and hematocrit levels were also higher in lichens fed group. Nucleic acid contents in spleen but not in liver were increased in lichens fed group. The latter increase was more significant with chronic liver damage. It is suggested from the present study that water soluble lichens extract play protective and therapeutic roles in organs against infection and atrophic disease.

This study was carried out to provide preliminary data to purify contaminated sites by nickel (Ni). After rooted cuttings of Salix reichardtii had been grown in Ni solution (hydroponic culture), pH changes in the solution and the accumulated Ni amount in plant parts were measured and analyzed. When the Ni concentration was low enough for S. reichardtii cuttings to grow well, the pH value of the solution decreased considerably. As the Ni concentration got higher, the plant growth got poorer and the pH value decreased slowly. Roots accumulated the highest Ni amount. Leaves and stems followed after. When stems were older, the accumulated Ni amount was lower. more Ni was accumulated in the plant parts which had more flexible tissue and live cells. As the Ni concentration in solution got higher up to 50.0 ${\mu}mol$/L, so did the Ni accumulation in the plant parts. However, the plant individuals nearly died and the Ni accumulation tended to drop when the Ni concentration in solution was 100.0 ${\mu}mol$/L. The rooted cuttings of S. reichardtii grew poorer as the Ni concentration in solution got higher. The plants in solution with 100.0 ${\mu}mol$/L of Ni were practically dead in four weeks.

This study was attempted to investigate the acute toxicity of Liocolae vermiculus(Liocola brevitarsis) extract in mice, the effect on GOT, GPT Al.p, LDH activities and level of total cholesterol in serum of $CCl_4-intoxicated$ rats. In acute toxicity test, Liocolae vermiculus extract showed 10% mortality at 2,000 mg/kg, p.o. and at 1,000 mg/kg, i.p.. The Liocolae verculus extract caused a remarkable decrease in serum transaminase as well as Al.p activities in $CCl_4-intoxicated$ rats at $300{\sim}1,000{\;}mg/kg$ dosage ranges. The activities of -LDH and the level of total cholesterol were significantly decreased in all sample-treated group, when compared with the control group. The body weight decreased, and the liver and spleen weight increased in $CCl_4-intoxicated$ rats were significantly recovered by the administration of the extracts.

Water extract from Astragali Radix (AR) was tested for the safety using Ames, Bacillus subtilis Rec, and umu gene expression mutagenicity tests. Mutagenic activity in any assays we tested was not found. In Ames test, Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and TA 100 were used to identify mutagenic property, and the number of histidine revertants was measured. In the Recassay, Bacillus subtilis ${H-17(Rec^+)\;and\;M-45(Rec^-)}$ strains were used to test DNA damage activity. In the SOS umu test, Salmonella typhimurium TA1535 containing plasmid pSK1002 was used as a test strain, and we monitored the levels of umu operon expression by measuring the ${\beta}-galactosidase$ activity. From the results, there was no DNA damage and mutagenicity of AR. Hepatotoxicity of AR to female ICR mice was also monitored by the measurements of s-GOT, s-GPT, LDH activities after oral feeding for 15 days. AR was not shown any significant changes of s-GOT, s-GPT and LDH activities in mice sera.

To investigate effects of Angelica keiskei Koidz green juice on the liver damage of CCl4-treated tats, Sprague-Dawley male rats weighing 80~100g were divided into 4 groups of control group(CON), Angelica keiskei Koidz green juice-treated group(ANJ), CCl4-treated group(CCL) and Angelica keiskei Kodiz green juice and CCl4-treated group(ACL). Each group was sacrified after feeding for 4 weeks and examined the activities of transminase (sGOT, sGPT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px), and contents of lipid peroxide and glutathione in liver. The activities of sGOT and sGPT, and content of lipid peroxide after CCl4 treatment were markedly increased, compared to CON, but those levels were significantly decreased by the pretreatment of Angelica keiskei Koidz green juice as compared to CCL. The activities of SOD, catalase and GSH-Px were elevated by CCl4-treatment as compared to control group, and concomitant treatment of Angelical keiskei Koidz and CCl4 decreased those levels significantly except the activity of catalase. The hepatic content of glutathione was decreased by CCl4 and increased more abundant by Angelica keiskei Koidz administration than CCl4 treated group. These results suggest that Angelica keiskei Koidz green juice is believed to have a possible protective effect for the carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatotoxicity in rats.
