국내 주요하천은 지속적인 산업화와 난개발로 인해 생태계파괴 및 수변생물의 서식처 환경 악화로 하천 생태계에 많은 악영향을 받고 있다. 그러나 1990년대 이후 국내에서는 하천의 기능과 생물의 다양성, 하천환경 및 생태학적인 가치와 중요성에 대한 인식이 매우 커짐에 따라 하천의 생태적 기능을 매우 중요시 하고 있으며, 하천의 난개발로 인한 피해를 복원하기 위해 활발한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 대표적인 연구로 생태계 건전화 개념을 도입하여 담수성 어류 서식처 제공 및 이동에 필요한 유량을 산정한 한국 수자원공사(1995)의 연구가 있으며, 김규호 등(1996a, 1996b)은 물고기 서식처 환경 중 특히 수심과 유속 등 수리조건을 유지하기 위한 최소유량 산정 방법을 제시하였다. 또한 노경범(2011)은 섬진강의 하천환경 회복을 위한 연구대상 구간에서의 대표어종을 선정하여 서식처 특성 파악을 위해 하천 특성을 연구하였다. 이와 같이 현재 국내에서도 하천의 기능과 생태학적 기능을 위한 노력과 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그러나 생태학적 서식처 연구에서는 아직까진 미진한 부분이 많이 있다. 그 예로 보호종이나 멸종위기어종과 같은 생물의 서식처 확보를 위한 연구가 아직까지는 많은 노력과 연구가 필요한 상태이다. 본 연구에서는 환경부에서 지정한 멸종위기 1급 어종인 퉁사리를 대상으로 서식환경 특성 연구를 진행하였으며, 퉁사리의 생태학적 서식특성과 현재 지석천 상류 유역에서 관찰되고 있는 서식구간을 중심으로 MD-SWMS (Multi-Dimensional, Surface Water Modeling System) 모형을 이용하여 수리특성 분석을 수행하였다. 이를 위해 하상재료 입도분석을 실시하였으며, 그 결과 입도가 큰 굵은모래 및 잔자갈, 굵은자갈로 구성되어 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 수리학적 특성분석결과 서식구간 내에서는 비교적 빠른 유속이 나타났다. 이러한 퉁사리의 서식환경의 특성 분석으로 서식구간 내 입도가 큰 하상재료로 구성되어 있으며, 퇴적구간이 생성되지 않을 정도의 유사이송량과 유속이 필요할 것으로 분석되었다. 향후 퉁사리의 장기적인 서식환경 조성과 보존을 위해 대상구간의 유사이송의 연구와 실측 및 수변환경 모니터링을 통한 다양한 연구가 진행되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

The objective of this study was to analyze the distribution of endangered fish species and elucidate their relations on chemical water quality, physical habitat conditions and ecological stream health. The dominant species in the watershed was Pseudopungtungia nigra (Pn), Gobiobotia macrocephala (Gm), Gobiobotia brevibarba (Gb), Liobagrus obesus (Lo), and Iksookimia choii (Ic) in the order. The species of Pn designated as "critical endangered species (I) (CER)", was most widely distributed species among the endangered species, so the designation of the species should be re-evaluated. The endangered species was most popular (4 species, 384 individuals) in the Cho-River region of eighteen lotic regions. According to the analysis of chemical tolerance limits in the habitats with endangered fish species, biological oxygen demand (BOD) and total phosphorus (TP) was analyzed as "very good" (Ia) and "good condition" in the chemical criteria of the Ministry of Environment, Korea. Also, chemical conditions, based on ammonia-N ($NH_{4+}$), total nitrogen (TN), phosphate-P ($PO_{4^-}P$) were much better in the habitat with endangered species (Hw) than the habitat without endangered species (Ho). In the meantime, the species of Ic showed wide ranges on the chemical tolerance, so physical habitat conditions, such as the size of substrate particles (sand) and hydrological regime, were considered as more important factors than the chemical water quality, if the water quality is not largely degraded. The endangered species were also more distributed in the high-order (4-6) streams than the low-order (1-3) streams. The evaluation of ecological stream health, based on multi-metric model of the Index of Biological Integrity (IBI), showed the large difference between the Hw (21.6, fair condition)and Ho (30.5, good condition), indicating that the habitat maintained well chemically and physically had higher distributions of endangered species. Overall, the designation of CER on the Pn should be re-evaluated due to wide-distributions, and the protections from water pollution and the habitat conservations on the endangered species are necessary in the watershed.

This study aimed to analyze the needs and interests of the public on endangered wildlife using complaint big data. We collected 1,203 complaints and their corresponding text data on endangered wildlife, pre-processed them, and constructed a document-term matrix for 1,739 text data. We performed LDA (Latent Dirichlet Allocation) topic modeling and network analysis. The results revealed that the complaints on endangered wildlife peaked in June-August, and the interest shifted from insects to various endangered wildlife in the living area, such as mammals, birds, and amphibians. In addition, the complaints on endangered wildlife could be categorized into 8 topics and 5 clusters, such as discovery report, habitat protection and response request, information inquiry, investigation and action request, and consultation request. The co-occurrence network analysis for each topic showed that the keywords reflecting the call center reporting procedure, such as photo, send, and take, had high centrality in common, and other keywords such as dung beetle, know, absence and think played an important role in the network. Through this analysis, we identified the main keywords and their relationships within each topic and derived the main issues for each topic. This study confirmed the increasing and diversifying public interest and complaints on endangered wildlife and highlighted the need for professional response. We also suggested developing and extending participatory conservation plans that align with the public's preferences and demands. This study demonstrated the feasibility of using complaint big data on endangered wildlife and its implications for policy decision-making and public promotion on endangered wildlife.

본 연구는 명지산 식생의 보전방안의 수립과 생태계의 건전한 이용을 위해 수행되었다. 인위적인 훼손이 지속되는 등산로 주변은 질경이군란과 쑥-미국쑥부쟁이군락 등 노변식물 군락으로 나타났으며, 등산로 주변과 벌목지는 중부지방에서 잡목림이라 할 수 있는 고추나무-산뽕나무군락으로 나타났다. 그러나 중부지방에 위치한 명지산의 기후적 극상림인 낙엽활렵수림의 군락은 표고 300m 이상의 깊은 계곡과 정상부근에 극상림에 가까운 신갈나무-당단풍군락으로 잔존하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 신갈나무-당단풍군락 주변에는 비교적 인위적인 영향을 크게 받은 병꽃나무-조록싸리 군락으로 구분되었다. 또한 이들 군락 내에서는 금강초롱꽃, 백작약, 도깨비부채, 개족도리 등의 희귀 및 멸종위기 식물들이 다수 관찰되었다.

Koreoleptoxis nodifila (Martens, 1886) is an endangered species only living in the central and north streams of South Korea. However, there is a lack of information on physical habitat characteristics of K. nodifila. We aimed to determine preference ranges for water depth, current velocity, streambed substrate of K. nodifila. The weibull model was used to estimate the habitat suitability based on distribution of individual abundance by physical factors. Optimal depth preferences ranged from 0.53~17.17 cm, current preferences ranged from 48.40~81.03 cm s^-1 and substrate (𝜱_m) preferences ranged from -4.36~ -2.26. Median values of central tendency were determined as follows: water depth 16.73 cm, current velocity 65.23 cm s^-1, substrate -3.51. Mean values of central tendency were determined as follows: water depth 21.32 cm, current velocity 65.65 cm s^-1, substrate -3.63. Mode values of central tendency were determined as follows: water depth 5.17 cm, current velocity 64.77 cm s^-1, substrate -3.24. Based on the habitat suitability analysis, the microhabitat types of K. nodifila were determined as riffle and coarse-grained streambed.

Some of ecological factors and the early life history of endangered freshwater fish, Pseusobagrus brevicorpus, were investigated to proliferate artificially and to restore the population by release seedlings. The density of population in restricted area by small scale dam was 1.25 ind. $m^{-2}$, and the low capacity for reproduction having 200$\sim$250 eggs ind$^{-1}$. were thought to be a reason of this endangered situation. From the result of induction of natural spawning in aquarium after hormone injection it was considered that the spawning substrate would be aquatic plants with slender branches. The hatching was observed after 50 hrs after fertilization and the larvae showed aggressive behavior. Yolk was almost absorbed 3 days after hatching, and the larvae shaped tad-pole grew up to fry after 30 days. We discussed on the strategies for conservation of this species according to those results from investigation on ecology and early life history.
