Landscape change is the modification and replacement of landscape elements in accordance with human management and natural disturbance on land mosaics. During landscape change, changes in patterns such as heterogeneity, diversity and shape, and juxtaposition of spatial elements are also accompanied. For the sustainable landscape system, therefore, spatial characteristics of the landscape should be considered in implementation of landscape conservation and restoration planning. Short-term changes of land-use and landscape pattern during the 10 years of 1980s and 1990s were investigated in the agriculture-forestry dominated landscape system through the statistics and the analysis of landscape-vegetation map. Study area is Yangdong-myon, Yangpyung-gun (37°27′30"N, 127°46′50"E), Kyonggi-do, in central Korea. Landscape change of this region was significantly related to the recent industrialization according to socio-economic development. Analyses of landscape pattern show that the area of secondary forest sustained by human activity decreased and it was replaced with large exotic plantations during this period. Area of paddy field was also extended. Fractal dimension of the total landscape increased, but that of paddy field area decreased due to rearrangement for mechanized farming. Moreover, the area of landscape management regimes such as plantation and cultivation increased in land mosaics during this period.

Landscape structure is important to understand a complex patterns and interaction with adjacent habitat in rural area. The aim of this study is to analyze relationship between landscape structure and insect spatial distribution in rural area to suggest applicable possibility of landscape structure as biological indicator. For this purpose, first, four landscape structure criteria such as distance from the forest; density of farmland-forest ecotone; landscape continuity; and field size are selected. Secondly, these criteria are applied to Gangsang-myeon, Yangpyeong-gun where mosaic feature are conserved at various spatial scale. Thirdly, application of landscape structure criteria is verified using correlation with species number, species diversity, and species richness of insect. As a result, it could be suggested that the landscape structure criteria are useful for explaining insect spatial distribution.

Spatial variations of physicochemical and microbiological variables were examined to understand spatial heterogeneity of those variables in intertidal flat. Variograms were constructed for understanding spatial autocorrelations of variables by a geostatistical analysis and spatial correlations between two variables were evaluated by applications of a Cross-Mantel test with a Monte Carlo procedure (with 999 permutations). Water content, organic matter content, pH, nitrate, sulfate, chloride, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), four extracellular enzyme activities (${\beta}-glucosidase$, N-acetyl-glucosaminidase, phosphatase, arylsulfatase), and bacterial diversity in soil were measured along a transect perpendicular to shore line. Most variables showed strong spatial autocorrelation or no spatial structure except for DOC. It was suggested that complex interactions between physicochemical and microbiological properties in sediment might controls DOC. Intertidal flat sediment appeared to be spatially heterogeneous. Bacterial diversity was found to be spatially correlated with enzyme activities. Chloride and sulfate were spatially correlated with microbial properties indicating that salinity in coastal environment would influence spatial distributions of decomposition capacities mediated by microorganisms. Overall, it was suggested that considerations on the spatial distributions of physicochemical and microbiological properties in intertidal flat sediment should be included when sampling scheme is designed for decomposition processes in intertidal flat sediment.

본 연구는 도시 공간적 특성에서 살인사건의 발생 원인을 규명해보고자 한다. 이에 살인사건에 영향을 미치는 도시 공간적 특성요인으로 주택 유형, 인종적 이질성, 거주 불안정성, 인구 과밀화, 상업지역, 청소년과 성인 초기 그리고 노인 인구비율을 선정하였다. 분석자료는 229개 시군구를 대상으로 2016년 국가통계포털, 17개 광역자치단체의 통계연보 등을 활용하여 수집하였으며 공간오차모형(SEM)을 활용한 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 공간회귀분석을 실시한 결과, 주택 유형 중 아파트, 인종적 이질성, 거주 불안정성, 인구 과밀화는 유의수준 0.01에서 그리고 주택 유형 중 다세대 주택은 유의수준 0.1에서 살인사건에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 도시 공간적 특성요인으로 확인되었다. 하지만, 주택 유형 중 단독주택과 연립주택, 상업지역, 거주민의 특성인 청소년과 성인 초기 그리고 노인 인구비율은 유의미한 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 선행연구에 비해 확장된 연구모형을 적용함으로써 사회구조적 측면에서 살인사건의 원인에 관한 이해와 설명을 확대하는데 기여하였다. 향후 살인사건의 발생 원인을 사회행태적 측면과 사회구조적 측면을 결합한 후속 연구의 필요성이 적지 않다.

데시메트릭 매핑은 행정구역 단위로 집계된 인구자료를 행정구역 내부의 공간적 변이에 따라 재집계하여 고해상도의 인구분포 자료를 작성하는 가장 보편적인 기법이다. 본 연구에서는 데시메트릭 매핑을 이용한 인구분포 추정의 장단점을 검토하고, 그 개선방안으로서 지리가중회귀모형을 이용한 다변량 데시메트릭 매핑 기법을 제안하였다. 기존의 지표피복 데이터와 인구센서스 자료를 기반으로 지리가중회귀모형을 적용하여 각 집계단위별로 지표피복 유형과 인구밀도의 상관관계를 분석하고, 모형에서 산출된 회귀계수를 이용해 하위 공간구획의 인구 총수를 산정하였다. 그 결과 지리가중회귀모형 기반 다변량 데시메트릭 매핑 기법을 이용했을 때, 면적가중 보간법, 이진 데시메트릭 매핑, 피크노필렉틱 보간법, 최소자승회귀모형 기반 데시메트릭 매핑 기법 등 다른 지능형 보간법에 비해 정확한 인구분포 추정이 가능하다는 것을 확인하였다. 이는 지리가중회귀모형을 통해서 인구센서스 집계 단위별로 상이한 구역 내 공간적 이질성이 인구분포 추정에 적절히 반영되었기 때문인 것으로 평가할 수 있다.

The objectives of this study were to introduce spatial interpolation methods which have been applied in recent papers, to apply three methods (nearest monitor, inverse distance weighting, kriging) to domestic data (Ulsan cohort) as an example of estimating the personal exposure levels. We predicted the personal exposure estimates of 2,102 participants in Ulsan cohort using spatial interpolation methods based on information of their residential address. We found that there was a similar tendency among the estimates of each method. The correlation coefficients between predictions from pairs of interpolation methods (except for the correlation coefficient between nearest montitor and kriging of CO and $SO_2$) were generally high (r=0.84 to 0.96). Even if there are some limitations such as location and density of monitoring station, spatial interpolation methods can reflect spatial aspects of air pollutant and spatial heterogeneity in individual level so that they provide more accurate estimates than monitor data alone. But they may still result in misclassification of exposure. To minimize misclassification for better estimates, we need to consider individual characteristics such as daily activity pattern.

Purpose: In this study, we examine the effects of circulatory diseases mortality in South Korea 2005-2013 using the air pollution index, Methods: We cluster the region of high risk mortality by SaTScan$^{TM}$9.3.1 and compare this result with the regional distribution of air pollution. We use the Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) to consider the spatial heterogeneity of data collected by administrative district in order to estimate the model. As GWR is spatial analysis techniques utilizing the spatial information, regression model estimated for each region on the assumption that regression coefficients are different by region. Results: As a result of estimating model of the collected air pollution index, circulatory diseases mortality data combined with the spatial information, GWR was found to solve the problem of spatial autocorrelation and increase the fit of the model than OLS regression model. Conclusion: GWR is used to select the air pollution affecting the disease each year, the K-means cluster analysis discover the characteristics of the distribution of air pollution by region.

Probabilistic approaches are applied to the problem of groundwater remediation design to consider the risk of design and heterogeneity of real condition. Hydraulic conductivity fields are generated by two methods. First, the homogeneous domains which have the hydraulic conductivity with log-normal distribution are constructed by using Latin Hypercube method. Second, random fields with a certain spatial correlation are also generated. The optimal solutions represented by cumulative distribution function (CDF) of relative cost are calculated by three different manners. The one uses the homogeneous domains with the optimal design of base condition. It shows that ver)'wide range of cost and the influences of different penalty values. The other one uses the random field with same design and shows narrow range of cost. These CDF can reflect on the risk of optimal solution in a simple exampie condition and be effective in estimating the cost of groundwater remediation.

This study is to present the method for estimating groundwater recharge with temporal-spatial variability using the SWAT model which can represent the heterogeneity of the watershed. The SWAT model can simulate daily surface runoff, evapotranspiration, soil storage, recharge, and groundwater flow within the watershed. The model was applied to Musimcheon watershed located in the upstream of Mihocheon watershed. Hydrological components were determined for the period 2001 - 2004, and the validity of the results was tested by comparing the estimated runoff with the observed runoff data at the outlet of the catchment. The results of temporal and spatial variations of recharge were presented, This study suggests that variations in recharge can be significantly affected by subbasin slope as well as land use changes.

A new approximation method was proposed for treating the non-resonant spatial self-shielding effects of double heterogeneous region such as the double heterogeneous effect of VHTR fuel compact in the thermal energy range and that of BP compact with BISO. The method was developed based on the effective homogenization method and a spherical unit cell model with explicit coated layers and a matrix layer. The self-shielding factor was derived from the relation between the collision probabilities for a double heterogeneous compact and the effective cross section for the homogenized compact. First, the collision probabilities and transmission probabilities for all layers of the spherical model were calculated using conventional collision probability solver. Then, the effective cross section for the homogenized sphere cell representing the homogenized compact was obtained from the transmission probability calculated using the probability density function of a chord length. The verification calculations revealed that the proposed method can predict the self-shielding factor with a maximum error of 2.3% and the double heterogeneous effect with a maximum error of 200 pcm in the typical VHTR problems with various packing fractions and BP compact sizes.
