Accurate information on habitat distribution of protected fauna is essential for the habitat management of Korea, a country with very high development pressure. The objectives of this study were to develop a habitat suitability model of wild boar based on GIS and logistic regression, and to create habitat distribution map, and to prepare the basis for habitat management of our country s endangered and protected species. The modeling process of this restudyarch had following three steps. First, GIS database of environmental factors related to use and availability of wild boar habitat were built. Wild boar locations were collected by Radio-Telemetry and GPS. Second, environmental factors affecting the habitat use and availability of wild boars were identified through chi-square test. Third, habitat suitability model based on logistic regression were developed, and the validity of the model was tested. Finally , habitat assessment map was created by utilizing a rule-based approach. The results of the study were as folos. First , distinct difference in wild boar habitat use by season and habitat types were found, however, no difference in wild boar habiat use by season and habitat types were found , however, ho difference by sex and activity types were found. Second, it was found, through habitat availability analysis, that elevation , aspect , forest type, and forest age were significant natural environmental factors affecting wild boar hatibate selection, but the effects of slope, ridge/valley, water, and solar radiation could not be identified, Finally, the habitat at cutoff value of 0.5. The model validation showed that inside validation site had the classification accuracy of 73.07% for total habitat and 80.00% for cover habitat , and outside validation site had the classification accuracy of 75.00% for total habitat.

The purpose of this study was to ascertain and analyze environmental factors of subgenus Lycoctonum in Korea for conservation and management of rare high land plant species by GIS. We derived the habitat model of Lycoctonum from GPS coordination, habitat factors and digital topology maps. Suitable altitude fur the subgenus Lycoctonum is from 470m to 1320m, and northern slopes(between 15.5 and 36 degrees) are ideal for the Lycoctonum populations. In addition to altitude, slope and aspect, deciduous forest and approximation to water source were found as important factor. Using GIS and the Lycoctonum habitat model, we overlaid elevation, aspect, slope and land cover layers and analyzed buffer from the water source on two topology maps, Yang-Soo and Mock-Dong. After making prediction map for Lycoctonum habitat, we verified the existence of Lycoctonum populations on the predicted sites through field survey. Through this research, we're convinced that GIS software is powerful tool for plants conservation, such as finding unknown habitat or selecting alternative habitat.

1990년대 후반부터 시작된 자연형 하천정비 사업은 기존의 수질보전정책 외에도 하천생태계에 대한 관심이 부각되는 계기로 작용하고 있다. 이 중 환경생태유량은 기존의 하천유지유량보다 확대된 개념으로 수생태계 건강성 회복을 위한 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 도시하천 수생태계 건강성 회복방안 마련을 위한 기초자료 마련을 위해 부산의 대표적인 도시하천인 온천천과 학장천을 대상으로 환경생태유량을 산정하였다. 환경생태유량은 하천의 물리적 특성 및 어류·유량을 조사하는 하천현장조사, 서식지적합도지수 산정의 과정을 통해 산정된다. 온천천과 학장천에서 각각 3개의 대표지점을 선정하고 각 지점별로 2회의 현장조사를 통해 각 지점에서의 수심, 유속, 하상재료, 어류 조성을 조사하였다. 조사결과를 바탕으로 붕어와 참갈겨니를 대표어종으로 선정하고 Instream Flow and Aquatic Systems Group(IFASG, 1986)에서 제시한 방법을 이용하여 서식지적합도지수를 산정한 후, 미국지질조사국의 물리적서식지모의시스템(PHABSIM)을 이용하여 하천별, 어종별 환경생태유량을 산정하였다. 온천천의 경우, 붕어와 참갈겨니 모두 약 0.7~0.8m³/s에서 가용서식지면적이 가장 크게 산정되어 일 60,000~70,000m³ 가량의 환경생태유량 공급이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 학장천의 경우, 붕어는 약 0.6~0.7m³/s, 참갈겨니는 약 0.3~0.4m³/s에서 가용서식지면적이 가장 크게 산정되어, 각각 일 50,000~60,000m³, 25,000~35,000m³ 가량의 환경생태유량이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구로부터 산정된 환경생태유량을 금번 관측유량 및 현재의 하천유지용수 공급계획량과 비교해보면 온천천에서는 일 15,000m³ 이상, 학장천에서는 어종에 따라 일 7,000m³ 이상의 추가유량 확보가 필요한 것을 알 수 있었다. 특히 학장천의 경우, 어종에 따른 환경생태유량의 차이가 크게 나타나 하천 구간별 유량조사를 통해 어종별 주요 서식지 구간 설정 및 관리가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
