Abstract

Currently, the floodplains of major rivers are transforming into various types of waterfront spaces according to the increase in leisure activities and improved accessibility. In general, waterfront activities in river channels tend to be concentrated in summer, and the waterfront activities during this period directly affect water quality. Accordingly, it is necessary to accurately compare and evaluate the characteristics and water quality of waterfront activities during the period when waterfront activities are concentrated. In this study, the following research was conducted to compare and analyze the current status of waterfront activities of users of waterfront areas and the water quality of waterfront areas. First, three waterfront areas were selected for investigation using the information from the Ministry of Environment's water quality measurement network. Second, a survey was conducted on the satisfaction and types of waterfront activities targeting users of waterfront areas. Third, water quality grades were calculated based on monthly water quality measurement factors and compared. Fourth, statistical analysis (one-way analysis of variance) was conducted to see if there was a significant difference in water quality characteristics between periods of high waterfront activity and periods of low waterfront activity using water quality measurement data for the last 5 years. As a result of this analysis, the following conclusions were drawn in this study. First, the use of waterfront activities was investigated in the order of camping, water skiing, fishing, swimming, and rafting. Second, satisfaction factors for waterfront activities were investigated in the order of activity convenience, water quality, waterlandscape, transportation access convenience, and temperature. Third, it was found that satisfaction with water quality in waterfront areas was generally unsatisfactory regardless of the water quality grade presented by the competent authority. Fourth, as a result of comparing the water quality measurement network data of the Ministry of Environment by water quality grade, generally good grades were found, and in particular, there was a difference in grade frequency by season in the BOD category. Fifth, as a result of statistical analysis (one-way ANOVA) of water quality monitoring network data by season, there were statistically significant differences in COD, BOD, TP, and TOC except for DO. Considering the results of these studies, it is judged that it is necessary to prepare a comprehensive management system for water quality improvement in the waterfront zone and to improve water quality during periods of high waterfront activity, and to prepare a water quality forecasting system for waterfront areas in the future.

현재 주요하천의 홍수터는 레저활동의 증가와 접근성 개선에 따라 다양한 형태의 친수공간으로 변모하고 있다. 일반적으로 하도내의 친수활동은 여름철에 집중되는 경향이 있고 이 시기의 친수활동은 수질에 직접적 영향을 미친다. 이에 따라 친수활동이 집중되는 시기의 친수활동의 특성과 수질에 대한 정확한 비교평가가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 친수지구 이용자의 친수활동 현황과 친수지구 수질을 비교분석 하기 위해 다음과 같이 연구를 수행하였다. 첫째, 환경부 수질측정망 정보를 이용하여 조사대상 친수지구 3개소를 선정하였다. 둘째 친수지구 이용자를 대상으로 친수활동 만족도 및 유형에 대한 설문조사를 실시하였다. 셋째, 월별 수질측정 인자를 기준으로 수질등급을 산정하고 이를 비교하였다. 넷째, 최근 5년간의 수질측정 자료를 이용하여 친수활동이 높은 시기와 그렇지 않은 시기의 수질특성에 유의한 차이가 있는지를 통계분석(일원배치 분산분석) 하였다. 이러한 분석결과 본 연구에서는 다음과 같은 결론을 도출하였다. 첫째, 친수활동 이용도는 캠핑, 수상스키, 낚시, 수영, 래프팅 등의 순으로 조사되었다. 둘째, 친수활동 만족요소는 활동편이성, 수질, 수변경관, 교통접근 편의성, 기온 등의 순으로 조사되었다. 셋째, 친수지구 수질만족도는 관할기관에서 제시되는 수질등급과는 상관없이 대체로 만족하지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 환경부 수질측정망 데이터를 수질등급으로 비교결과 대체로 양호한 등급이 나타났고 특히 BOD항목 등은 계절별로 등급 빈도간의 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 다섯째, 수질관측망 자료를 계절별로 통계분석(일원배치 분산분석) 결과 DO를 제외한 COD, BOD, TP, TOC는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 이러한 연구 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 친수지구내의 수질개선에 대한 종합적 관리체계 마련과 친수활동이 높은 시기에 대해서는 수질개선 노력이 더 필요하며 향후 에는 친수지구의 수질예보 체계 마련이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
