In order to investigate the hydrogeochemical characteristics and contamination of dissolved major ions and heavy metals in the Tancheon River, river water and sediment samples were collected at 18 locations, along a distance of 69 km, between Yongin-si in Kyunggi-do and Samsung-dong in Seoul on October in 2000 and April in 2001. After appropriate sample preparation, waters were analyzed for the dissolved constituents and sediments. The pH values of river waters were in the range of 7.0 to 9.3 and could be plotted in the area of surface environment. The level of $Ca^{2+}$, , CI-, sol-, N0$_{3}$ and HC0$_{3}$ in the Tancheon River were higher than those in world average river water. Most of dissolved constituents in the river waters increased toward downstream from upstream. In particular, high concentrations of Zn2+, Na$_{+}$, CI$^{-}$, SO$_{4}^{2-}$ and N03- were found near densely residential areas and the Sungnam waste water treatment plant. The relative ion enrichment was caused by the inflow of local domestic and industrial sewages. Also, Ca2+ and HC03- concentrations were enriched in the middle of the Tancheon River due to the dissolution of cements. This indicates that the apartment complexes were built on a large scale in the upriver since these ten years and large amounts of construction materials such as cements were flowed into the Tancheon River. Concentrations of heavy metals (Mn, Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn) in sediments from the Tancheon River exceeded the lower limit of tolerence level in bottom sediment established by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment (OME) of Canada. In particular, these metals were highly elevated in sediment (TSM-12) collected from near the Sungnam waste water treatment plant. Heavy metals were higher enriched in sediments collected from dry period rather than wet period.

Intercountry adoption, one type of forced migration, has increased significantly in recent decades. The adoption of Korea-born children by Americans has been the strongest intercountry adoption linkage in the world. The intercountry adoption stream was strongly influenced by intercountry adoption policies, and socio-cultural settings in both South Korea and the United States. Socio-cultural factors in South Korea made local adoption undesirable and helped for abandoned children to be adopted by Americans, while socio-cultural factors in the United States had reduced the number of locally available infants for adoption, and increased the demand for infants from abroad. Distribution of Korea-born adoptees shows concentration in the Pacific Northwest, Upper Midwest and Northeast areas which have not attracted Korean immigrants so generally. The trend of concentration shows some increased importances in the outlying states in the northern United States. The location and activity of agencies shaped the spatial distribution of Korea-born adoptees in the United States.

경기도 용인시, 오산시와 화성시 지역의 농업용수와 공업용수의 공급원으로 이용되고 있는 신갈호는 현재 유입하천으로부터 미처리된 도시하수, 공장 폐수, 축산 폐수 등의 점오염원 및 도시 지역 불투수층에 쌓여있는 오염물질인 비점오염원이 무분별하게 유입되어 수질이 매우 악화되어 용수로의 사용이 어려운 지경에 달하였으며, 자연정화능력도 감소하는 등 심각하게 오염되었다. 또한 최근에는 신갈호 유역의 개발에 따른 토지이용 변화로 신갈호 유역의 총오염부하량이 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 현재 날로 심각해지는 신갈호 유입하천의 비점오염원 조사를 통해 신갈호 및 유입하천의 기초데이터의 확충 및 현황 파악을 하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 강우 시 신갈호로 유입되는 3개의 유입지천인 신갈천(SG), 지곡천(JK), 공세천(KS)에서 비점오염부하량을 산정함으로써 강우 시 호소로 유입되는 총오염부하량 및 비점오부하량의 비율을 알아보고자 하였다. 강우사상에 따른 총 오염물질 부하량은 EMC 농도를 구한 후 총 유출유량을 곱하고 총 강우지속시간을 곱하여 산정하였다. 조사결과 강우기에 있어서 거의 모든 항목의 농도는 평수기보다 매우 높은 수치를 나타냈다. 특히 SS 농도는 토사의 하천유입으로 인해 다른인자에 비해 큰 변동폭을 나타내었으며, COD와 T-P는 토양입자에 흡착되어 함께 이동하기 때문에 SS와 밀접한 관계를 가졌다. 강우시의 각 유입하천별 오염부하 기여율은 SG의 경우 SS 74.1%, BOD 64.4%, COD 65.7%, T-N 63.8%, T-P 73.8%를 나타내었다. JK의 경우 SS 25.4%, BOD 31.5%, COD 30.5%, T-N 32.5%, T-P 24.2% 였고, KS의 경우 SS 0.5%, BOD 4.1%, COD 3.8%, T-N 3.7%, T-P 2.0%를 나타내었다. 강우시의 각 유입하천별 오염부하 기여율을 평수기때의 오염부하 기여율과 비교하였다. 비교결과 SS의 경우는 SG가 강우시에 74%, 평수기에 83%, BOD의 경우는 강우시 64%, 평수기 80%, T-N은 강우시 64%, 평수기에 84%, T-P의 경우는 강우시 74%, 평수기에 82%로 모든 항목에서 평수기에 신갈천이 신갈호의 오염부하에 미치는 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 강우시 지곡천의 기여율이 평수기 보다 상대적으로 높아지기 때문인 것으로 판단된다.

The unit load has simply been used to estimate total pollutant loading from non-point sources, however, it does not count on the variable pollutant loading according to land use characteristics and rainfall intensity. Since pollutant emission from the watershed is strongly dependent on the rainfall intensity, it is necessary to find out the relationship between pollutant loading and rainfall intensity. The objective of this study is to develop simple and easy method to compute non-point source pollution loads with consideration of rainfall intensity. Two non-point source removal facility at Gyeongan-dong (Gwangju-si) and Mohyeon-myeon (Yongin-si), Gyeonggi-do was selected to monitor total rainfall, rainfall intensity, runoff characteristics and water quality from June to November, 2010. Most of Event Mean Concentrations (EMC) of measured water quality data were higher in Gyeongan which has urban land use than in Mohyeon which has rural land use. For the case of TP (Total Phosphorus), Mohyeon has higher values by the influence of larger chemical uses such as fertilizer. The relationship between non-point source pollution load and rainfall intensity is perfectly well explained by cubic regression with 0.33~0.81 coefficients of determination($R^2$). It is expected that the pollution loading function based on the long-term monitoring would be very useful with good accuracy in computing non-point source pollution load, where a rainfall intensity is highly variable.

The study was planned to detect resistance levels of striped rice borers (Chilo suppressalis Walker) and green rice leafhoppers(Nephotettix cincticeps Uhler) from different localities to organophosphate and carbamate insecticides using topical application. Strains of overwintering striped rice borers were collected from 7 different areas in Gyeonggi Province and they were kept under conditions of about $25^{\circ}C$ for 10 days. Overwintered and reared larvae of striped rice borers were compared for response to insecticides. The strains of green rice leafhopper were collected from Iri, Milyang, Pyongtaek, Echeon and Suweon. Insects were multiplied in the lab. All insecticides tested were organphosphates(MPP, MEP and Diazinon) and carbamate (NAC), which have been used in control of rice insect pests for over past 10 years. The results obtained were as follows; a. With MPP compound, resistant levels of the Joam, Suweon, and Echeon strains of C. suppressalis were from 2 to 4 times as compared with the Yangpyong strain. b. With MEP insecticide, resistant levels of the Kimpo, Pyongtaek, Yongin, Echeon, Suweon, and Joam strains of C. suppressalis were from 2 to 6 times as compared with the Yangpyong strain. c. With Diazinon, resistant levels of the Suweon strain of C. suppressalis were 3 times greater than the Yangpyong strain; but the resistant levels of Kimpo, Pyongtaek, Yongin, and Echeon strains approximated the later. 4. The overwintered larvae of C. suppressalis were more tolerant to the insecticides than the larvae reared in the lab. e. With MEP, resistant levels of the Iri, Milyang, and Pyongtaek strains of N. cincticeps to the Suweon strain showed 13, 8, 7 and4 times, respectively. f. With MPP, resistant levels of the Iri and Pyongtaek strains of N. cincticeps were 7 and 4 times as compared with the Suweon strain, respectively. g. With NAC, resistant levels of the several strains of if. cincticeps showed no difference, and seemed not to have developed resistance yet.

We investigated the diversity pattern of spring moths across two regions of South Korea, Yongin city (middle part) and Muan gun (southern part) and the effects of climatic variables on moth species richness and abundance. Moths were weekly collected using UV light trap in April from 2013 to 2015. Climatic factors included growth degree day with base temperature 8 (GDD8), average temperature, precipitation, duration of sunshine, wind speed, and snow cover. The climatic effects on moth species richness and abundance were analyzed by short (0~3 weeks before collecting) and long (4~12 weeks before collecting) time periods, respectively. The diversity of spring moths showed the similar pattern of species composition at family level. However the dominant family differed depending on the region: Geometridae at middle part and Noctuidae at southern part. In addition the dominant species of Noctuidae occurred early in April and that of Geometridae moths occurred later in April. Three short-term climatic factors, GDD8, duration of sunshine, and precipitation one week before collecting were significant on moth species richness and abundance, while only one long-term climatic factor, temperature four weeks before collecting was significantly affected on moth species richness. We found that both Geometridae and Noctuidae were dominant in spring moth fauna across South Korea and they were different in the dominance and flying time in April. The occurrences of spring moths were largely affected by warmness and precipitation. The current global warming could affect the occurrence of spring moths and this should be monitored consistently.

The dark-winged fungus gnats are one of the most serious fly pests attacking the mushroom cultivation in Korea. They cause severe damage to the artificial sawdust beds used to cultivate mushroom, and reduce the production of button mushroom, Agaricus bisporus, in greenhouses. In this study, we collected nine species of the mushroom flies in order to identify the dominant species of the dark-winged fungus gnat attacking the A. bisporus plantation using the yellow sticky trap in Buyeo-gun, Boryeong-gun, Yongin-si and Chilgok-gun from April to June 2015. The collected samples were used to determine the DNA sequence of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) of the nine different species by DNA barcoding. The sequencing results showed that Lycoriella ingenua was the dominant dark-winged fungus gnat species destroying A. bisporus cultivated on the artificial sawdust beds in Korea.

The purpose of this study is to explore the improvement method of the emergency safety system as a social protection scheme for the elderly living alone with severe disabilities. The study was conducted by randomly choosing three regions in the metropolitan area (Jongno-gu, Seoul), the small-medium city (Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do) and the rural area (Geochang-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do) among 17 cities and counties nationwide. The study method is based on the interview form of the structured questionnaires with city officials, county officials, and center operators. According to the results of the interview analysis, it was recognized that there was a need for an emergency safety system for the elderly living alone with severe disabilities. In spite of this necessity, there were problems about publicity for the discovery of victims of the blind spot in welfare, about inconvenience due to frequent malfunctions of the emergency equipment, about insufficient awareness of the security of the emergency officials and about supply and demand of manpower for 24-hour monitoring service. In order to improve the effective operation of the emergency safety system, it was the most urgent issue to formulate the legislation for responding to the crisis management of the vulnerable. A suggestion of this study is to build a safety system in which one-stop service is provided for the realization of compact welfare through the establishment of a MOU for linkage with community organizations, the full inspection of emergency equipment to solve safety equipment malfunction problems and the manpower supplement for 24-hour monitoring.

This study aims at investigating the major symptoms that help family carers detect mental illness in elderly patients. Another purpose of this study is to empirically verify the major factors determining the utilization of mental health services with a focus on family carers. The results of this study are as follows. First, the most commonly detected symptoms that caused the family carers to suspect mental illness in the elderly patients were memory decline and other forms of cognitive function decline. Second, the determinants of the elderly's utilization of mental health services included the patient's long-term care insurance level, the age of the family carer, the period of care, the level stress associated with the provision of care felt by the carer, his understanding of geriatric mental illness, and the level of perception about community mental health services. Based on these findings, this study suggests policies and practical implications for the early detection of and response to elderly mental health problems and the utilization of related services from the viewpoint of the family carers of the elderly.
