This study was performed to investigate the growth and photosynthetic rate of ten-years old Pinus koraiensis and Pinus rigida in Banwol industrial region comparing with those of the control site in Gwangju, Gyeonggi Province. Surface soil of the damaged site in pH 4.2 was more acidic than control site in pH 4.8, assuming the accelerated soil deterioration by acid deposition. The shoot growth, needle survival rate and net photosynthetic rate of P. koraiensis and P. rigida at the damaged site were lower than at the control site. In addition, the quantum yield and chlorophyll a+b and b contents reduced in damaged treatment. These results suggest that an inhibition of photochemical reaction of P. koraiensis and P. rigida at the damaged site of Banwol industrial region could be attributed to combined influence of atmospheric pollution and soil acidification.

A system for microseismic monitoring due to underground displacements is being operated in several mining areas in order to analyze ground subsidence. Microseismic monitoring system mainly consist of three components; 3-component geophone, data logger and analysis program. The previous analysis program had found the location of microseismic source by analysing only first arrivals of P-waves, but the upgraded analysis program has improved accuracy of the location by analysing both P- and S-waves. This analysis program also has upgraded the function to calculate the microseismic magnitude by using regional specific coefficient and microseismic amplitude. Also the program has upgraded the function to confirm visual location of microseismic source by superimposing field aerial photographs and the results.

This study tried to assess the applicability of a hand-held LiDAR for measuring the geometric structures of forest trees including diameters at a breast height(DBH) and tree height(H). A traditional method using tapelines was conducted to analyze the accuracy of the LiDAR instrument in the Taebaeksan national park in South Korea. Four statistical indices which are bias, root mean square error, mean absolute error, and correlation coefficient were employed to compare the measurements by the LiDAR instrument and traditional method. The DBHs from the LiDAR were very similar to those from the traditional method. And it indicated that the LiDAR is sufficient to be a alternative of a traditional method. However, there was a limitation in assessing the accuracy of LiDAR for measuring tree height by comparing the measurements by observer's eyes since they included different error sources. Further study is needed to assess the accuracy of LiDAR instrument for tree height through more reliable measurements.

Gaesung city of North Korea is meaningful because of the development of Gaesung industrial complex as a peace-building project and economical cooperation works between South Korea and North Korea. This article presents the characteristics of natural landscape of Gaesung through geographical names. This research was studied by literature analysis of North Korea, depth interview of North Korean labour and refugees, and second times fieldwork. The main results of this study are as follows. Firstly, the mountain landscape of Geasung revealed on geographical names characterized mountainousness and round shape. Especially, the places where are enclosed by mountain and streams are foggy and rocky. Next the landscape of stream characterizes sandy, unstable, and tidal river. Thirdly the fauna and flora which are reflected on geographical names are hawk, snake, tiger, homed owl, snapping turtle, chestnut tree, pine tree, pear tree, zelkova tree, and willow etcetera. The environmental conditions of habitation of these are similar to the natural environment of Gaesung. Besides, the geographical names related to soil distributed in northern mountain area of Geasung. The place names implicated cliff located on the riverside. In addition to this, the geographical name of 'Bul' implicated plain distributed in the riverside of 'Seoam' which a branch stream of 'Sacheo'. And the place names related rock located in place enclosed by mountain, river, and village. In cnclusion, Gaesung is more important to us as the Gaesung industrial complex and tourism development. But the fundamental research on Gaesung is a few because Gaesung belongs to North Korea. Therefore, this research will be useful for the control and management of Gaesung in the future.
