The estuary in Nakdong River has changes by the construction of harbors, land reclamation and artificial waterway changes. These resultslead to changes of extinction and creation of deltaic barrier island. The deltaic barrier island changes in the Nakdong River estuary affect the function of the barrier islands and cause environmental changes. Therefore, it is important to monitor the changes in the area of the Nakdong estuary. In this study, long-term changes of the area and suspended sediment of deltaic barrier island in the Nakdong River estuary were analyzed using Landsat TM/ETM+ images. As a result, end point rate (EPR) values of shoreline in Jinwoodo and Sinjado are about 5m/yr and about 50 m/yr, respectively. The EPR values of north-south and east-west direction in Doyodeung are 20 m/yr and -20 ~ 10 m/yr. The suspended sediment concentration (SSC) has a maximum value of $25g/m^3$ in the vicinity of Jinwoodo and Sinjado, while it has a maximum concentration of $40g/m^3$ in the vicinity of Shinjido and Doyodeung. In other words, the area and the SSC change are small in Jinwoodo, and the area change and the SSC variation are large in Sinjado and Doyodeung. As a result of analysis of correlation between area change and SSC variation using all data, the Pearson coefficient value (r) is 0.36 and it is 0.32 in winter data. In other words, it is considered that the SSC variation affectsthe deltatic barrier island area change. However, verification using advanced altimetry data is necessary in the future. These studies can be used for coastal monitoring and environmental monitoring.

The purpose of this study is to identify the long-term area changes in the subalpine coniferous forests in Korea in order to understand the changes in the subalpine forest ecosystems vulnerable to climate change. We analyzed 20 years of time-series Landsat satellite images (mid 1990s, mid 2010s) for change detection of coniferous forests and compared with the long term changes of climate information to identify their relationship in the study area. As a result, the area of coniferous forests in the study region decreased by 25% over 20 years. The regions with largest changes are Seoraksan, Baegunsan-Hambaeksan-Jangsan, Jirisan, and Hallasan. The region with the largest decrease in area was Baegunsan (reduced area: 542 ha), and the region with large decrease in area and the largest rate of decrease was Hallasan (rate of decrease: 33.3%). As the Jeju region has the most rapid temperature rise, it is projected that Hallasan is the most vulnerable forest ecosystem affected by climate change. The result of this study shows that from a long-term perspective the overall coniferous forests in the subalpine region are declining, but the trend varies in each region. This national and long-term information on the change of coniferous forests in the subalpine region can be utilized as baseline data for the detailed survey of endangered subalpine coniferous trees in the future.

This study was conducted to derive implications for the dissemination and expansion of subtropical crops in farms. To this end, the cultivation trends and main producing areas of promising subtropical crops in Korea were analyzed. Analysis results found that the cultivation area of crops, excluding mango, was stagnating or decreasing. The main producing areas of domestic subtropical crops are located on Jeju Island (mango, dragon fruit), in Gyeongsangnam-do (papaya), and in Jeollanam-do (turmeric). Guava and Yeoju could not define the main producing area. For all crops, the percentage of cultivated area in the top 10 regions was high, but only half of the regions maintained the ranking. These results imply that the introduction and abandonment of subtropical crops are frequent. The dissemination and expansion of subtropical crops are justifiable in terms of responding to climate change in the future and creating new income for farms. Therefore, government support policies and agricultural promotion agencies need to be established.

In order to respond to the increase in water disasters due to climate change and urbanization, research on low impact development (LID) techniques and application to cities are expanding. The LID technique is a technology that reduces rainwater runoff in the city, controls various water disasters such as flash floods, etc. in an eco-friendly way, and restores the urban water circulation system to a natural water circulation system. However, quantitative analysis of stormwater runoff reduction through the LID technique is insufficient. Therefore, this study analyzed the ratio of the permeable area required to reduce the surface runoff of rainfall (25 mm/hr, 50 mm/hr, 100 mm/hr) with respect to the impervious watershed area of the old city using the permeable pavement. As a result of the analysis, it was found that a permeable area ratio of 7.14 to 12.63% of the total area was required for 25 mm/hr, 15.79 to 26.97% for 50 mm/hr, and 30 to 55.81% for 100 mm/hr.

This study analyzes universities in Japan, which haves many similarities with those in Korea in certain aspects of the educational system and a common problem of reduced university admission resources, Korea's national university facility standards, policy related to nation-level university facility, and practical campus case. Through this, the study aims to examine the difference in the national approach and basic philosophy about university facilities in Korea and Japan, and also identify the major planning factors and improvement directions when establishing plans for university campuses in the future. The results of this study are as follows. First, Korea tends to promote policies related to university facilities by individual projects centered on a major pending problem or issue, while Japan has been shown to promote national university facility policies under a comprehensive mid-to-long-term plan by establishing a maintenance plan aimed at national university facilities every five years. Second, In the case of the university facility areas, the average university facility area of the examined universities in Japan is about 5.6% larger than the average university facility area in Korea. Additionally, the university facility area per student in Japan is about 13% wider than that of Korea. The total floor area of university facilities in Japan is also about 20.7% larger than that of Korea, and the university facility area per student in Japan is about 56.7% wider than that of Korea as well. Among support facilities, the total floor area of dormitories in Korea was 2.5 times wider than that of Japan, however, the acceptance rate of dormitory in Korea was 5.6% higher than Japan. Third, the university facility criteria items and systems of two countries are similar. but there are slight differences in the content such as the method of calculating student capacity, division classification, and the method of calculating the number of teachers.

This study was to find out the correlation between abdominal surface temperature and abdominal fat areas. CT and MRI methods have been used to assess abdominal fat area. Abdominal surface temperature according to abdominal fat area was also measured by DITI. 20 college students were selected as the subjects for the study. The results, showed that there were statistically different significance in abdominal fats measured by CT and MRI according to weight groups. Abdominal surface temperature gap were measured by DITI and there was a statistically significant difference in only T12 region. temperature gaps between weight groups were over $0.7^{\circ}C$. In conclusion, CT method is the most accurate method to measure abdominal fat. However, weak points are radiation exposure and high cost for study. The correlation between abdominal surface temperature and abdominal fat areas were strong. Therefore, DITI may be considered as useful convenient method to evaluate the abdominal obesity and clinical usefulness.

Three grades of activated carbon fibers (ACFs) were prepared from various precursors of plantic, synthetic, and mixed fabrics of viscose rayon and cotton. The ACFs an exhibited type I isotherms on the adsorption of nitrogen or argon. Micropore analysis revealed that the ACFs have uniform micropore size distribution in which their peak diameters were in the range of $5.6{\pm}0.3{\AA}$. The BET surface area of ACFs up to $1600m^2g^{-1}$ was proportional to the adsorption capacity of iodine. The BET values of the ACFs prepared were proportional to the burn-off degree of the products.

Effect of physical property of activated carbon on its carbon dioxide adsorption was investigated for the effective control of carbon dioxide. Pinewood sawdust and coal were used as raw materials of activated carbon. Specific surface area, micropore volume and mesopore volume of the prepared activated carbons were determined, respectively. The prepared activated carbons were analyzed for their adsorption capacity of carbon dioxide. The adsorption capacity was then presented with respect to the surface area, micropore volume and mesopore volume, respectively. As a result, the specific surface area and micropore volume of both pinewood and coal activated carbon were highly related to its carbon dioxide capacity. Its mesopore volume hardly affected its carbon dioxide capacity. Preparation of activated carbon with high specific surface area and micropore volume was found to be critical to the effective control of carbon dioxide.

CCTV for crime prevention is expanding; however, due to the absence of guidelines for determining installation locations, CCTV is being installed in locations unrelated to areas with frequent crime occurrences. In this study, we developed a CCTV Priority Installation Index and applied it in a case study area. The index consists of crime vulnerability and surveillance vulnerability indexes, calculated using machine learning algorithms to predict crime incident counts per grid and the proportion of unmonitored area per grid. We tested the index in a pilot area and found that utilizing the Viewshed function in CCTV visibility analysis resolved the problem of overestimating surveillance area. Furthermore, applying the index to determine CCTV installation locations effectively improved surveillance coverage. Therefore, the CCTV Priority Installation Index can be utilized as an effective decision-making tool for establishing smart and safe cities.

설계홍수량 산정 시, 지점강우량을 대상 유역 내 면적강우량으로 환산하기 위해 면적우량환산계수(ARF, Areal Reduction Factors)를 적용한다. ARF를 산정하는 방법은 크게 면적고정형법(Fixed-Area Method)과 호우중심형법(Storm-Centered Method)로 나뉜다. 면적고정형법은 현재 국내 하천설계기준에서 활용하고 있는 방법이지만, 공간적 관측밀도의 제약으로 정확한 ARF 산정에는 한계가 있다. 또한 연 최대치계열의 독립적인 빈도해석을 통해 지점강우량과 면적강우량을 산정하므로 동시간(Synchronized)에 발생하는 강우 사상이라고 볼 수 없기 때문에 산정된 ARF는 실제 강우사상으로부터 산정된 값과 편차를 보인다. 반면 호우중심형법은 각각의 강우사상을 분석 대상 유역 중심에 공간전이 시켜 최대 강우량이 발생하도록 하는 방법으로, 레이더 강우 자료를 활용하면 현실적 ARF값의 산정이 가능해진다. 레이더 강우는 기상청에서 제공하는 2007-2012년 홍수기(6-9월)의 10분 단위 단일편파 전국합성 레이더 자료를 활용하였으며, 대상지역으로는 한강 권역을 선정하였다. 그러나 기상청 레이더강우 자료의 경우 가용기간이 아직까지 충분하지 않아 다양한 빈도의 강우사상을 확보하는데 한계가 있어, 보조적으로 한강 권역의 지상강우 관측 자료를 수집하여 높은 재현기간의 강우사상이 부족한 문제점을 해결하고자 하였다. 산정된 레이더 및 지상강우 호우중심형 ARF는 통계적 분석을 통해 비초과확률 90%, 95%의 값을 추출하였으며, 지속시간 1시간, 3시간, 6시간, 12시간, 24시간과 재현기간 0~10년, 10~20년, 20~50년, 50~80년, 80~100년에 대한 호우중심형 ARF 회귀상수를 제시하였다. 비초과확률 95%에서 기존 국토해양부(2011)에서 제시된 ARF와 호우중심형 ARF는 대체로 유사한 경향을 보이고 있었으나, 지속시간이 비교적 긴 12시간, 24시간에서는 호우중심형이 기존 ARF보다 다소 작게 산정되는 패턴을 보이고 있어 설계적용 시 유의해야 할 것으로 사료된다.
