최근 치수의 기능을 수행하면서 원래 자연하천의 모습을 보전 혹은 복원하는 "생태하천 복원 공법"의 필요성이 대두되고 있으나 구체적인 공법에 대한 연구는 미미한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 하천 내 시설물의 조성 시 유황에 따른 자연 하안 유도와 습지형태의 생물 서식공간 조성 유무를 평가하기 위하여 평창강 일원에 목재 유도틀을 설치하고 이에 따른 지형변화, 저서무척추동물을 포함한 수생생물들의 서식특성을 분석하였다. 평창강 금당계곡 일원을 대상으로 RMA-2 모형의 범용프로그램인 SMS 모형을 통해 수리 특성분석을 실시하였고 안산에 있는 수리모형 실험장에서 기본 수리특성 실험 후 수리적 안정성이 확보된 지점에 목재 유도틀을 2009년 9월에 설치하여 유도틀 설치 전과 설치 후 2010년 10월까지의 지형변화를 분석하였다. 지형의 측량은 광파측정기(니콘 DTM-520)로 하였으며 측량된 자료를 이용하여 Contour Map을 작성하여 지형변화를 분석하였고, 유도틀 설치지역을 중심으로 2010년에 3차에 걸쳐 지형 및 생물상 변화에 대한 정량 및 정성조사를 실시하여 비교분석 하였다. 유도틀 설치 후 2010년 하절기에 집중호우에 의한 유도틀의 파손 및 형태변형 등 문제가 없어 수리적으로 안정한 것으로 판단되었다. 지형 변화의 측면에서는 유도틀 조성 전 사질로 되어있던 단순한 선형의 하안이 유도틀 설치 후 다양한 하상재질 및 형태가 변화했으며 유도틀의 배치에 따라서 굼치 및 둠벙형 습지가 형성되었다. 유도틀 설치지역의 3개지점(상부, 중간배후습지, 하부)에서 저서무척추동물에 대하여 모니터링한 결과, 설치된 유도틀의 중간지점에서 가장 높게 종의 서식이 확인되었으며 상부지점과 하부지점은 상대적으로 낮게 나왔으나 상부지점 보다는 하부지점이 양호하게 나타났다. 조사시기별 개체수의 변화에서는 종수변화와 패턴이 유사하게 나타났으며 깔다구와 꼬마줄날도래등 특정종의 증식이 많았다. 또한, 굼치 및 둠벙형 습지 내에 어류의 치어 및 유어, 양서류, 파충류등 다양한 생물의 서식이 확인되었다. 이는 유도틀에 의해 생성 및 유도된 지형변화가 하천을 기반으로 생활하는 생물들에게 다양한 피난처 및 은신처 역할을 잘 제공하고 있음을 보여준다.

It is difficult to analyse geomorphic landscape changes effectively by a field survey. A satellite image interpretation may play an important role to overcome such a problem. The purpose of this study is to assess the accuracy of different method to identify geomorphic landscape change by using satellite imagery. The study area is the Yongjong coastal wetland in which a huge man-made environmental change occured to build a new international airport in the past decade. These changes may be summarized that a coastal landscape has been changed to a terrestrial landscape, and also a natural landscape to a man-made landscape. In order to detect these changes, we applied three different satellite interpreting methods, including a binary change mask using band difference. a binary change mask using normalized band difference. and a binary change mask using NDVI. We concluded that a binary change mask using NDVI is the best method among three different methods analysing the coastal geomorphic-landscape changes.

대규모 연안개발은 연안지형의 변화와 함께 다양한 식물상의 변화를 만드는 원인이 되고 있다. 때문에 시화방조제， 새만금방조제， 남양만 방조제 등의 대규모 방조제 공사 이후에 연안갯벌에서 나타나는 식물상의 변화를 관측하는 것은 연안습지환경의 변화를 분석하는 중요한 척도가 된다. 본 연구에서는 아리랑 2호 의 고해상도 자료를 바탕으로 연안습지의 지형변화에 따라 나타나는 생물상의 식생지수를 분석하고 이들의 시-공간적변화가 연안지형의 특성과 공간규모의 대칭적 특성을 나타내고 있음을 제시하였다. 특히，중급해상도에 의해 분석되었던 식생지수를 고해상도 위성관측 자료와 현장조사 자료를 비교하여 이를 검증하였다.

Wetlands, defined as lands periodically inundated or exposed during the year, are crucial for sustaining biodiversity and filtering environmental pollutants. The importance of mapping and monitoring their topographical changes is therefore paramount. This study focuses on the topographical variations at the Incheon River estuary wetland post-restoration, noting a lack of adequate prior measurements. Using a multi-temporal Sentinel-1 dataset from October 2014 to March 2023, we mapped long-term variations in water bodies and detected topographical change anomalies using a pixel-frequency approach. Our analysis, based on 196 Sentinel-1 acquisitions from an ascending orbit, revealed significant topography changes. Since 2020, employing the pixel-frequency technique, we observed area increases of +0.0195, 0.0016, 0.0075, and 0.0163 km² in water level sections at depths of 2-3 m, 1-2 m, 0-1 m, and less than 0 m, respectively. These findings underscore the effectiveness of the wetland restoration efforts in the area.

In line with the rapid settlement of information society, the demand for geospatial information and its applications are dramatically increasing. The Project of National Geographic Information System(NGIS) is actively on going to meet up-to-dateness and accuracy of geospatial data. It is fact that the public interest in environmental issues is increasing than ever in accordance with the restoration of the four major rivers, core project of Green New Deal Policy, and the event of the Ramsar General Meeting. Because the Nakdong River Estuary is a place of great importance in both aspects of wetland and environment conservation, a variety of researches related to this area are progressing. Although artificial developments and natural phenomena are rapidly changing the topography and ecosystem of this area, the effort to build topographic DB for change monitoring is very slow. This study describes a Lidar surveying project over the restored wetland Eulsukdo, the southermost part of the Nakdong River, to establish precise topographic DB throughout producing 3D topographical maps and wetland classification maps. The results of this study will make a large contribution to the systematic maintenance and management for the restored Eulsukdo wetland.

The Sincheon wetland shows a remarkable diversity of fluvial landforms, such as river islands, anastomosing channels, braided channels, and sand-gravel bars, which contribute to its rich ecological habitat. The wetland area is characterized by a ecological diversity of herbaceous and woody plants. Significant changes in land cover within the wetlands were observed from 2008 to 2020. Notably, there was a rapid decrease in agricultural area from 18% to 0.04%, while the vegetation area expanded from 45% to 54%. Concurrently, the water area also experienced a notable increase from 34% to 41%. The surface sediment composition in the studied area displays sandy loam characteristics and exhibits acidic soil properties. Sediment acidity tends to increase downstream and in the central part of channels. Variations in acidity are also observed at nearby collection sites due to the tributaries and local discharge. The presence of dense vegetation in river islands and bars has led to a significant transformation of sediments into soil, with this change being more pronounced downstream, particularly near the weirs. The installation of a weir in Sincheon wetland is believed to have a significant impact on altering flow velocities between upstream and downstream sections, as well as influencing erosion and sediment deposition patterns. However, given the formation of landforms in response to weirs, effective administration and management are essential to address potential risks of catastrophic environmental disruptions, such as the removal of weirs and/or the maintenance of river channels.

습지, 호수 및 강 등을 포함하는 수체는 증발 및 비교적 높은 열용량을 통하여 주변 기온에 영향을 미친다. 이러한 효과는 수체의 크기, 형태, 그리고 깊이 등 수체의 특성에 따라 다르게 난다. 대부분의 경우 수체는 주변 기온을 저감시키지만, 특정 경우 반대로 기온을 상승시키는 효과를 불러온다. 아울러, 같은 수체라도 수체 주변 지역의 구조나 형태, 그리고 기후 조건에 따라 그 영향이 다르게 나타난다. 이에 대부분 연구자는 수치해석, 원격탐사 기법, 혹은 관측을 사용하는 방법 등을 사용하여 경험적으로 수체마다 기온변화 효과를 달리 평가하였다. 하지만, 이러한 평가는 대부분 국외에서 수행되어왔으며, 강, 하천, 그리고 호수 등이 주로 연구되어왔다. 탄소저감 및 높은 기후조절 효과를 가지는 습지는 물을 포함하고 있어, 당연히 수체로 취급될 수 있다. 습지의 다양한 기능 중 기온조절 효과는 습지의 가치 및 중요성을 평가하기 위하여 반드시 연구되어야 한다. 국외의 경우, 관련 연구가 수행된 바 있지만, 우리나라의 경우 관련 연구가 아직 수행되지 않았다. 수체의 기온조절 효과는 수체의 특성, 주변 지형의 특성, 그리고 기후 조건 등에 영향을 받음으로 국외 연구 결과들을 국내 습지에 그대로 적용할 수 없다. 따라서, 우리나라습지에 대한 평가가 달리 수행되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 습지의 기온조절 효과를 평가하고자 광주호 습지를 대상으로 ENVI-met 수치해석 모형을 사용하여 그 지역의 여러 가상의 발전시나리오를 구축하고 모의 결과를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 광주호 습지의 기온저감 효과는 약 2km 정도까지 미치는 것으로 확인되었고, 그 규모는 기후 조건 및 주변 지형의 특성에 따라 달리 나타났다.

The Jangdo wetland is located on a very gentle slope of the mountain area in Daejangdo island, Shinan-gun, Korea, in which the area of the watershed is estimated at 147,000 m². The wetland has been regarded as a peat bog without any sedimentological evidence. This study was conducted to analyze the geomorphological and sedimentological characteristics of the wetland. The geographic information system (GIS) was used to analyze the drainage system, and field surveys were conducted to measure the range and depth of wetland deposits. The grain size analysis, organic matter determination, elements analysis and radiocarbon dating were performed on samples from the wetland. As a result, the wetland deposits were about 30 cm deep on average, the mean grain sizes ranged from 50 to 500 μm, and the average C/N ratio was 11.5. The portion of organic matter it contained was only 5~26%, which did not satisfy the peat standards. The radiocarbon ages from the wetland deposits range 180±50 ¹⁴C yr BP to modern, which indicated that natural and anthropogenic interferences including agricultural activities have continuously happened. We conclude that the Jangdo wetland is still in its infancy, not a steady state, so that it could be very sensitive to a small disturbance.

We suggested several implications by examining geochemical properties of sediments in Simjeok, Jangdo, and Hwaeomneup mountain wetlands which are natural preservation areas. Geochemical properties of wetland sediments show that all wetlands were included in the type of fens, but their distribution patterns were different from one another. We classified three sub-groups of sediments using the two step cluster analysis on the ratio of exchangeable cations. Wetland sediments can be grouped into Ca-dominated, Mg-dominated, and K-dominated types. Simjeok wetland have Ca-dominated sediments, while the sediments of Jangdo wetland indicate the Mg-dominated and Ca-dominated characteristics. Hwaeomneup wetland is composed of K-dominated sediment mainly. Different properties in the ratio are affected by various environmental factors such as geological, pedological, and vegetational settings. Because these geochemical properties will be affected by climate change and human impacts, these will be environmental indicator in mountain wetlands and be used in wetland management. This scheme can be used for classification of mountain wetlands. Therefore, we should work on geochemical properties of wetland sediments and classification schemes based on geochemical properties not only to widen understanding in geomorphic system or ecosystem of mountain wetlands but to conserve mountain wetlands properly.

Estuary is unique habitat ground under substantial changes of water quality, river side, bed material, and micro topography. Construction of SinGok underwater weir with excessive dredging for downstream of weir has changed hydraulic conditions of Han River. This study investigates spatial changes of estuary and expansion process of vegetation on sandbar for JangHang estuary in Han River through analysis of physical and ecological characteristics. As a result of investigation, we found that area of sandbar in JangHang estuary is expanded six times compared between 1985 and 2006, and area of Phragmites australis is gradually decreased while area of Salix subfragilis Anderson. is increased. Also the analysis result of soil layer shows that the Jang-Hang wetlands are created by effect from river, and woody plants are settled from middle part of wetlands, then spread to upper and lower part of wetlands.
