The watersheds are functional geographical areas that integrate a variety of environmental and ecological processes and human impacts on landscapes. Geographical assessments using GIS recognize the relationship between interdependence of resources and ecological/environmental components in watersheds. They are useful methodology for viable long term natural resource management. This paper performs through the using hydrological analyses, landscape ecological analyses, remote sensing, and GIS. Indicators are items or measures that represent key components of the small watersheds, and they are developed to be evaluated. Some indicators are described that they represent watershed condition and trend as well as focus on physical, biological and chemical properties of small watershed. Also, ecological functions such as stability, resilience, and sensitivity are inferred from them. The model implemented in GIS allows to reflect the ecological and hydrological functioning of watershed. Methodology from image analysis, landscape ecological analysis, spatial interpolation, and numerical process modeling are integrated within GIS to provide assessment for eco-logical/environmental condition. Results are described from the small watershed of Gwynns Falls in Baltimore County and Baltimore City, Maryland, an area of about 66.5 square miles. The small watershed within Gwynns Falls watershed are subject to a number of land-use. But it is predominantly urban, with significantly lesser amounts of forest and agriculture. The increasing urbanization is ass-coiated with ecological/environmental impacts and citizen conflicts.

Knowledge about how to stabilize soil structure is essential to conserve soil systems and maintain various biogeochemical processes through soil. In urban area, soil structural systems are degraded with inappropriate management and land use and become vulnerable to erosion. We analyzed the structural changes of surface soils with different land uses, i.e., forests, parks, roadside green area, riparian area, and farmlands (soybean fields), in the Anyang Stream Watershed in order to find the factors influencing the stability of soil structure and the implication for better management of surface soil. Soil organic matter contents of other land use soils were only 18~52% of that in forest soils. Soil organic matter increased the stability of soil aggregates in the order of soybean fields < roadsides < riparian < parks < forests and also reduced soil bulk density (increased porosity). The lowest stability of soybean field soils was attributed to the often disturbance like tillage and it was considered that higher stability of park soils comparing to other land use soils except forests was owing to the covering of soil surface with grass. These results suggest that supply of soil organic matter and protection of soil surface with covering materials are very important to increase porosity and stability of soil structure.

Many researchers have evaluated the influence of vegetation cover on slope stability. However, due to the extensive variety of site conditions and vegetation types, different studies have often provided inconsistent results, especially when evaluating in different regions. Therefore, additional studies need to be conducted to identify the positive impacts of vegetation cover for slope stabilization. This study used the Transient Rainfall Infiltration and Grid-based Regional Slope-stability Model (TRIGRS) to predict the occurrence of landslides in a watershed in Jinbu-Myeon, Pyeongchang-gun, Korea. The influence of vegetation cover was assessed by spatially and temporally comparing the predicted landslides corresponding to multiple trials of cohesion values (which include the role of root cohesion) and real observed landslide scars to back-calculate the contribution of vegetation cover to slope stabilization. The lower bound of cohesion was defined based on the fact that there are no unstable cells in the raster stability map at initial conditions, and the modified success rate was used to evaluate the model performance. In the next step, the most reliable value representing the contribution of vegetation cover in the study area was applied for landslide assessment. The analyzed results showed that the role of vegetation cover could be replaced by increasing the soil cohesion by 3.8 kPa. Without considering the influence of vegetation cover, a large area of the studied watershed is unconditionally unstable in the initial condition. However, when tree root cohesion is taken into account, the model produces more realistic results with about 76.7% of observed unstable cells and 78.6% of observed stable cells being well predicted.

환경변화(체류 시간)에 따른 조류발생기작 및 이동특성 연구를 위해 현장규모 모의실험장치를 제작하여 낙동강 수계의 강정 고령보를 대상으로 체류 시간에 따른 조류발생 및 이동특성을 파악하고자 하였다. 현장규모 모의실험장치는 조류배양의 효율성 및 조류성장 관찰의 편리성 등을 고려하여 투명아크릴로 제작하였다(직경 1 m, 높이 4 m, 가변형 원통수조, 3 sets). 빛 차단장치, 수심별 유입장치, 재이용수 저류조 등의 부대시설을 설치하였다. 본 연구에서 체류 시간 조건은 2일(보설치 전, 실험조 1), 8일(보설치 후 2013년 체류 시간, 실험조 2), 30일(2014년 체류 시간, 실험조 3)로 선정하였다. 실험결과, 실험조별 수온은 실험조 1에서는 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으며 실험조 3에서는 표층(0 m)과 저층(4 m) 간 약 $3^{\circ}C$ 이상의 차이를 보였다. 용존산소(DO), pH 변화 분석 결과 모든 실험조에서 표층 0 m에서 저수심(2 m, 4 m) 보다 상대적으로 높은 값을 보였다. 영양염류(TN, $PO_4-P$)는 모든 실험조에서 부영양 상태를 나타냈다. Chlorophyll-a 분석 결과 실험조 1은 평균 $19.8{\mu}g/L$, 실험조 2는 평균 $35.0{\mu}g/L$, 실험조 3은 평균 $36.6{\mu}g/L$로 실험조 1 보다 실험조 2, 3에서 약 2배 높은 농도를 나타냈다. 따라서 환경 요인 중 체류 시간은 식물플랑크톤 발생에 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단된다.

기후 변화로 인한 국지성 호우의 증가로 도시의 내수침수피해가 증가함에 따라 이중배수체계 모형의 중요성이 증가하였다. 이중배수체계 모형은 지표면의 흐름과 관거의 흐름의 현상을 보다 정확히 표현하기 위하여 표면유출과 관거 유출을 각각의 관련 방정식과 매개변수들을 통해 해석하며, 이를 시각별로 연동하여 동시에 시뮬레이션하는 모형으로 이중배수체계 모형의 침수해석 결과는 도시계획 및 침수예방을 위한 계획 수립시 중요한 자료로 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 자연유역과 도시유역이 혼재되어 있는 복합유역에 이중배수체계를 접목하여 해석이 가능한 COBRA 모형을 실제 유역에 적용하여 그 적용성을 파악해 보고 다른 이중배수체계 모형인 XP-SWMM, UFAM과 비교하여 결과의 적합성을 판단해 보았다. 동일한 대상유역에 대해 3가지 형태의 이중배수체계 모형의 침수해석 결과 및 침수양상을 분석한 결과를 종합해볼 때 우수관망의 용량 부족으로 발생하는 내수침수 특징은 XP-SWMM이 비교적 잘 모의하는 것으로 보였으며, UFAM은 도로의 빗물받이를 고려하는 특징에 따라 타 모형에 비해 가장 낮은 침수해석 결과를 나타내었다. 마지막으로 COBRA는 침수면적과 침수면적의 비율, 최대침수심이 강우량 증가에 비례하는 일반적인 결과와 토양조건에 따라 유효우량을 세밀하게 분류하여 모의하는 모형 특성 및 지표 저류에 의한 침수양상이 나타나는 현실성을 고려할 때 모형의 안정성 측면에서 양호하다고 판단되었다.

The objective of this study were to develop landscape scale ecosystem assessment model, and apply the model for the assessment of the state and change of ecosystem of the study area, Yongin, Korea. Since natural ecosystem of the site has been deteriorated significantly during recent extensive residential development, it is essential to correctly assess ecosystem of the study site. Traditional ecosystem assessment mainly utilizing intensive field survey requires high cost, but the outcome rarely represents spatial pattern of the regional ecosystems. Ecosystem assesment of landscape scale based on landscape ecology can resolve most of the shortfalls of the traditional approach. The research method can be summarized as follows. First, extensive literature review on such topics as spatial pattern of ecosystem, ecosystem assessment of landscape scale, ecological analysis was carried out. Second, a model for the ecosystem assessment of landscape scale emphasizing spatial pattern of ecosystem was developed. This model evaluates three indicators; ecological integrity and biological diversity, watershed integrity, and landscape resilience of 11 watersheds in the study area. Finally, ecological assessment utilizing two sets of indicators, enhancement of and disturbance of ecosystem stability, was carried out. This assessment method is based on Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program´s Landscape component(EMAP-L) of EPA(1994). The results of this study are as follows. First, the ecosystem assessment of landscape scale of the study area of Yongin, Korea, showed that escosystems of Tanchun01 and Chungmichun01 watersheds had the worst state in the study site in 1991. On the other hand, the ecosystems of Jinwechun01, Kyunganchun02, and Bokhachun01 watersheds had the most stable ecosystem in 1991. Second, ecosystems of Tanchun01, Shingal reservoir, and Kyunganchun01 watersheds were evaluated to be the worst state in the study site in 1996. And, ecosystems of Jinwechun01 and Gosam reservoir watersheds had the most stable ecosystem. Third, ecosystem of Tanchun01 watershed which incudes Suji residential development project site changed the most drastically between 1991 and 1996. The ecosystem of the watershed the most drastically deteriorated due to it´s proximity to Seoul and Bundang new town.

This study conducted an evaluation of the extent of debris flow damage using SINMAP, which is slope stability analysis software based on the infinite slope stability method, and FLO-2D, a hydraulic debris flow analysis program. Mt. Majeok located in Chuncheon city in the Gangwon province was selected as the study area to compare the study results with an actual 2011 case. The stability of the slope was evaluated using a DEM of $1{\times}1m$ resolution based on the LiDAR survey method, and the initiation points of the debris flow were estimated by analyzing the overlaps with the drainage network, based on watershed analysis. In addition, the study used measured data from the actual case in the simulation instead of existing empirical equations to obtain simulation results with high reliability. The simulation results for the impact of the debris flow showed a 2.2-29.6% difference from the measured data. The results suggest that the extent of damage can be effectively estimated if the parameter setting for the models and the debris flow initiation point estimation are based on measured data. It is expected that the evaluation method of this study can be used in the future as a useful hazard mapping technique among GIS-based risk mapping techniques.

As meteorology is the driving force for lake thermodynamics and mixing processes, the effects of climate change on the physical limnology and associated ecosystem are emerging issues. The potential impacts of climate change on the physical features of a reservoir include the heat budget and thermodynamic balance across the air-water interface, formation and stability of the thermal stratification, and the timing of turn over. In addition, the changed physical processes may result in alteration of materials and energy flow because the biogeochemical processes of a stratified waterbody is strongly associated with the thermal stability. In this study, a novel modeling framework that consists of an artificial neural network (ANN), a watershed model (SWAT), a reservoir operation model(HEC-ResSim) and a hydrodynamic and water quality model (CE-QUAL-W2) is developed for projecting the effects of climate change on the reservoir water temperature and thermal stability. The results showed that increasing air temperature will cause higher epilimnion temperatures, earlier and more persistent thermal stratification, and increased thermal stability in the future. The Schmidt stability index used to evaluate the stratification strength showed tendency to increase, implying that the climate change may have considerable impacts on the water quality and ecosystem through changing the vertical mixing characteristics of the reservoir.
