This study analyzed the relationship between spatial characteristics and heat waves in the distribution area of the elderly population in Changwon, Gyeongsangnam-do. For analysis, the Statistics Census data, the Ministry of Environment land cover, Landsat 8 surface temperature, and the Meteorological Agency's heat wave days data were used. The spatial characteristics of the distribution of the elderly population was classified into 5 types through K-mean cluster analysis considering the land use types. The characteristics of the elderly population by spatial type were higher in the urbanized type(cluster-3), but the proportion of the elderly population was higher in the agricultural and forest area types(cluster-1, cluster-2). In the characteristics of the surface temperature and the heat wave days, the surface temperature was the highest in the urban area, but heat wave days were the highest in the rural area. As a result of analyzing the heat wave characteristics according to the spatial type of the distribution area of elderly population, cluster-2 with the largest area in agricultural areas was highest at 15.95 days, and cluster-3 with a large area in urbanized types was the lowest at 9.41 days and 9.18 days. In other words, the elderly population living in rural areas is more exposed to heat waves than the elderly population living in urban areas, and the damage is expected to increase. The results of this study could be used as basic data to prepare various policy measures for effective management and prevention of vulnerable areas in summer.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of fragmentation on the bird community in Seongduck-ri and Hanggum-ri agricultural landscapes of Kangha-myon, Yangpyong-gun, Kyonggido. We analyzed the composition of tree species, forest environmental structures, structures of agricultural landscapes, avifaunas and guild structures. Number and density of tree species ranging from 6 to 10cm in D.B.H. were high in Seongduck-ri, but basal area was high in Hanggum-ri. Coverages of foliage layers under two meters and over 12 meters were high in Hanggum-ri. Meanwhile, Seongduck-ri agricultural landscapes consisted of twelve patches, dominated by Larix leptolepsis and Robinia pseudoacacia Hanggum-ri landscapes was composed of eleven patches, and dominated by Pinus rigida, Castanea crenate, Larix leptolepsis and paddy field. Dominant bird species showed the same order in two study areas, thirty-six species of birds were observed in Hanggum-ri landscapes, but twenty species were in Seongduck-ri landscapes. Number of species and density belonging to hole-, bush-, ground-nesting and water-, bush-, ground-foraging guild were high in Hanggum-ri landscapes. Number of species and density belonging to hole-nesting guild showed the high value in Hanggum-ri landscapes that was not fragmented. It could be attributed to the low human disturbance and relative high density of medium and large trees in D.B.H. Also, number of species and density belonging to bush-, ground- and water- foraging guild showed the high value in Hanggum-ri landscapes that had the high foliage amounts in the foliage layer under two meters. It will be related with the paddy field, dry field and brook, which patches covered the 28.4% of Hanggum-ri landscapes. Therefore, road not only dominate the heterogeneous patch in agricultural landscapes, but also easily cause the human disturbance. Thus, road construction would decrease the natural patch diversity and edge effects that are important for sustaining the diverse avifauna in agricultural landscapes.

Properties of wood charcoal made from the domestic wood species at $300-900^{\circ}C$ have investigated to understand the correlation between carbonization temperature and chemical and physical characteristics of wood charcoal. In terms of charcoal yield at particular carbonization temperatures, it was drastically decreased until the temperature reaches up to $600^{\circ}C$ and the decrease ratio of yield was reduced at higher temperatures. As the carbonization temperature increased, pH of the wood charcoal increased so that it became basic at last. The wood charcoal prepared at $600{\sim}700^{\circ}C$ showed the highest caloric value and those of wood charcoals made at higher temperature became plateau at a little lower level than the peak. The caloric value of Japanese larch charcoal was a bit higher than that of Red oak charcoal. The carbon content in the wood charcoal was increased as the carbonization temperature increased, whereas the hydrogen content was decreased. Specific surface area of the wood charcoal became larger with increase in temperature up to $600^{\circ}C$ but it was decreased or reduced in the increasing ratio after, and then it rose again at higher temperature than $800^{\circ}C$. Absorption capacity of the wood charcoal against iodine and gaseous acetic acid became greater as the carbonization temperature increased. Japanese larch charcoal presented higher absorption capacity than Red oak charcoal. As the above results, it is revealed that carbonization temperature affects the chemical and physical properties of wood charcoal. Therefore, to use wood charcoal with maximum effect it should be prepared at optimum temperature for proper use.

Three phases of development in construction projects (i.e. pre-development, construction and post construction) diversely effect the environment, hydraulics and ecosystem. Currently, the domestic environmental policy is in control of the various environmental hazards produced after completion of development operations. Nevertheless, with the enforcement of water pollution total amount management system, improving the water quality; also the water and ecosystem preservation law recommends enforcing the sediment management for development operations in order to lessen the negative impacts to the environment. Recently, the country is experiencing difficulties in various development project locations due to insufficiency of interpreting the fundamental data for sediment loss and miscalculation of soil loss unit loads of sediment. This research utilizes data from 2000 to 2005 discussing a total of 1,036 environment impact assessment projects gathered from various ministries and offices namely Ministry of Environment (MOE), Ministry of Agriculture, the Office of Forestry, and Ministry of Construction and Transportation. Moreover, quantity of sediment from high land agriculture reports involving contaminant discharge characteristic investigation previously did concerning old land agriculture and So-Yang lake non-point pollution source management area as well as management measured data from MOE. The findings of this study reveal that the highest soil loss rate occurred from mountain district for pre-development and post construction and sports facility during construction.

소하천은 하천 네트워크의 최상류에 넓게 소재하는 하천이다. 본 연구의 목적은 올바른 소하천 수생태계 관리방안을 도출하기 위하여 소하천의 건강성을 분석하고 현행 소하천 관리제도의 개선점을 모색하는 것이었다. 본 연구에서는 다음과 같은 분석방법을 이용하였다. 첫째, 2007년 한강수계 소하천 28개 지점에서의 부착조류($DAI_{PO}$, TDI), 저서성 대형무척추동물(KSI), 어류(IBI), 서식환경, 수변환경 등 6개 항목에 대한 수생태 건강성 조사결과를 토대로 공간적 분포와 수질현황을 조사하여 소하천에 대한 종합적인 건강성 평가를 실시하였다. 둘째, 분석대상지역을 각각 소하천 구간스케일(28개 지점)과 유역스케일(팔당호, 안성천 유역)로 선정, 하천차수도(1:25,000)를 활용하여 해당 구간과 유역의 소하천도를 작성하였다. 셋째, 작성된 소하천도 는ArcGIS(ver. 9.3)에서 30, 60, 90, 120, 150-m Buffering을 하였다. 다음으로 소하천 구간은 중분류(23개 항목, $2000{\sim}2006$ 또는 2007년) 토지피복도를, 팔당호 및 안성천 유역의 소하천은 대분류(8개 항목, $1975{\sim}2000$년) 토지피복도를 적용하여 분류항목별 면적변화비율을 산정하였다. 끝으로 소하천 정비에 대한 제도적 문제점을 분석하여 소하천 관리의 개선점을 연구하였다. 그 연구 결과, 첫째 연구대상 소하천(28개)의 건강성은 도심 소하천에서 가장 낮게 조사되었고, 일부 소하천은 비록 상류에 위치함에도 불구하고 부착조류의 유기물, 영양염류 평가가 낮게 평가되었다. 둘째, 소하천 구간 스케일의 수변토지피복변화 분석결과 소하천 수생태 건강성은 거시적으로 산림, 도시화, 밭 등의 피복변화에 민감한 것으로 나타났으며 도시화 피복변화의 영향은 수변 30m에서 60m보다 3배 정도 큰 것으로 나타났다. 유역 스케일 분석에서는 상대적으로 도시화가 많이 진행된 안성천 유역의 소하천이 팔당호 유역보다 낮은 건강성일 것으로 예측되었다. 결론적으로 적절한 소하천 수변관리는 지역 하천의 건강성을 온전히 회복시키고 개선 유지하기 위한 중요한 수단들 중에 하나이며 수변토지피복의 변화율은 (소)하천 건강성 또는 유역관리의 지표로 활용될 수가 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 이와 더불어 본 연구를 통해 소하천 복원 및 관리는 소하천 특성을 고려한 장기적인 계획과 관리대상의 우선순위를 바탕으로 점진적인 대안마련이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

This study was accomplished for verifying the biotope field survey accuracy in the forests. Biotope data is used as the standard for the preservation and restoration of the urban ecosystem. The study area is the forests of Gwanak-gu, Seoul. For verifying accuracy, first we compared biotope field survey results between 2000 and 2005, second we compared between field survey results and satellite imagery. For comparing with satellite imagery, we delineated the evergreen-coniferous forests from imagery taken during winter season. As a result of comparison, the ratio of most actual vegetation types by delineated detail field surveys were matched around 92% between 2000 and 2005. But, between 2 field surveys, around 60% of total vegetation type was regionally matched. Evergreen-coniferous forests extracted by satellite imagery were regionally matched 69.4% of field survey result in 2000, and matched 80% of the result in 2005. If we consider the delineating errors from deciphering the picture, the results have high accuracy, especially 2005. The processes of verifying accuracy have not been proceeding in the part of delineating actual vegetation works. The verification of accuracy is important for the renewal process. Thus, the various verification methods will be studied and criteria should be developed for enhancing objectivity.

오늘날 열대림 면적의 급격한 감소, 지구온난화등 지구환경 보전의 관점에서 이들 목재이외의 자원의 활용 및 양마와 같은 새로운 비목재자원 개발의 중요성이 재인식되기에 이르렀으며, 이 가운데서 양마는 생장이 라르고 수확량이 크며, 목질부의 단섬유는 물론 긴 섬유장을 가진 인피부섬유로 구성되어 있고, 실리카함량도 매우 적어, 특히 산림자원이 부족한 개발도상국에서 펄프.제지용 자원으로서 주목되고 있다. 양마가펄프.제지용자원으로서 오늘날과 같은 세계적 주목을 받게 된 것은 미국 농무성 북부지역연구센타 에서 이루어진 “새로운 섬유작물”에 관한 기초연구에서 양마가 제지용 섬유작물로서 높이 평가되고 있다. 양마의 경우 인피부는 비교적 리그닌함량이 적고, 목질부는 활엽수재에 가까운 리그닌을 함유하고 있는데다, 섬유형태에 있어서도 인피부와 목질부간에 큰 차이가 발견된다. 본 연구에서는 양마를 중성아황산법으로 전처리하여 제조한 반화학펄프로 부터 제조한 종이의 광학적 성질을 검토하였다 펄프의 광학적 성질은 원료의 화학적 조성,섬유의 형태, 부위.화학적 처리정도, 원료의 저장기간 및 충전제의 첨가에 따라 크게 영향을 받았다. 장섬유와 낮은 리그닌함량을 가진 전간부 펄프시트는 불투명도가 낮았으며, 목질부 펄프로부터 상대적으로 밀도가 다소 높고, 불투명도도 높은 종이를 만들 수 있었다. 펄프원료의 저장기간이 백색도를 낮추었으며, 불투명도에는 그다지 영향하지 않았다. 약품전처리 및 표백이 백색도 및 불투명도에 크게 영향하였고, 특히 충전제 첨가로 광산란을 증가시켜 불투명도가 높은 종이를 제조할 수 있었다.6. CL종의 난황콜레스테롤 수준에 대한 계란의 일령 상호간에는 전체적으로 상호간에 차이가 없었다. 7. 26주령시 혈중콜레스테롤 수준은 CL종이 다른 두 육계종들 보다 유의적 (P$\leq$0.05)으로 높았다. 8. 성별간 혈중콜레스테롤 수준의 차이는 CL종, BR1 및 BR2 중에서 CL종에서만 나타났으며, 수컷은 암킷보다 혈액 100 mL당 약 90 mg이 낮았다.구체적인 생화학적인 연구가 이루어져야 될 것으로 여겨진다.야 할 것으로 사료된다. 냉장 저장을 하고 저장기간이 길어질 경우는 냉동저장을 사용하는 것이 바람직하다고 생각된다.S, FOS나 말티톨로 대체된 스폰지 케익은 설탕 100% 사용한 케익과 비교하여 크게 나쁘지 않거나 휠씬 나은 특성을 보이므로 스폰지 케익 제조에 그들의 이용이 가능함을 확인하였다.thione 같은 다른 항산화제의 절약 효과, CYP2El의 유도 저하를 통하는 것으로 생각되며 그중 어떤 것에 가장 큰 영향을 받는 지는 아직 알려지지 않았고 더욱 많은 연구가 요구된다.우와 사료에 $\omega$3계 지방산 급원을 첨가, 동물에게 이행시켜 $\omega$3계 지방산 강화식품을 제조하는 두 가지 방법이 있을 수 있는데 전자는 통조림, 과자, 건강보조식품류에 다용되며 후자는 다양한 기능성 축산식품에 활용되고 있다. $\omega$3계 지방산 강화 축산식품에는 돼지고기, 우유, 치이즈, 계란, 분유, 햄 등 다양한 제품에 활용, 개발되고 있으며 최근에는 이러한 식품 개발에 더욱 박차가

This study defined and classified no-net-loss-of-greenness (NNLG) based on the law, and then assessed the NNLG index by metropolitan cities and provinces in Korea after estimating NNLG evaluation indicators for the introduction of NNLG for health improvement of urban ecosystems. The results are as follows. First, NNLG was the comprehensive meaning that was included in the greenbelt and park greenbelt and the green area which was defined by the Act on Urban Parks, Greenbelts, etc. and the National Land Planning and Utilization Act respectively. Second, NNLG was classified as a park greenbelt which was included urban parks and greenbelts such as buffer greenbelts, scenic greenbelts, and connecting greenbelts, green areas which was included in green conservation areas, green production areas, green natural areas, and green coverage which is included forests, grasslands, and wetlands that were occupied by vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and plants. Third, NNLG index by cities and provinces was assessed based on the estimation of NNLG evaluation indicators, which included parks and greenbelt areas per capita, green areas per capita, green coverage per capita, ratio of parks and greenbelts, ratio of green areas, and ratio of green coverage. As a result, Sejong city got the highest point of NNLG index and Seoul and Daegu got lowest points of NNLG index among metropolitan cities in Korea. Chungbuk got the highest point of NNLG index and Kyonggi and Jeju got lowest points of NNLG index among provinces in Korea.
