A validation study has been performed using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool(SWAT) model with data collected for the Neponset River watershed, which includes roughly 130 square miles of land located southwest of Boston. All of this land drains into the Neponset River, and ultimately into Boston Harbor. This paper presents the methodology of a SWAT model. The calculated contribution of the baseflow to the streamflow is far too high whereas the interflow is strongly underestimated. Alternatively, the modified and calibrated model yields far better results for the catchment. The modification allows hydrological processes to be modeled while not restraining the applicability of the model to catchments with other characteristics. For this study, the SWAT 2005 model is used with ArcGIS 9.1 as an interlace, and sensitivity analysis is performed to provide rough estimated values before adjusting sensitive input parameters during calibration period.

This paper describes the earthquake risk evaluation of 15 sites of architectural heritages, which are considered ground conditions of sites in Seoul. In order to acquire the input data of earthquake response analysis, surface wave exploration was performed at the site. Earthquake response analysis and 3D earthquake safety evaluation were carried out under the base of scenario earthquakes. Ground displacements of areas, which are located on architectural heritages, are showed about 0.5 mm ~ 9.7 mm, and it was analyzed to small affected by earthquakes. In case of Naksungdae three-story stone pagoda, ground displacement is similar to the others. However, displacement of three-story stone pagoda with granite is 30 mm on the top, because the greatest occurrence of that is caused by stress release at seismic wave effect.

In this paper, we consider a cooperative monitoring network, which consists of a large number of UAVs, in order to promptly detect event in a disaster area. A command center may not be able to control each UAV individually due to resource constraints. Therefore, UAVs need to autonomously construct a mobile monitoring network in order to maximize monitoring coverage and to adapt the network formation according to environment changes in the disaster area. To that end, we propose multiple UAVs-based cooperative monitoring schemes that uses virtual forces. In this monitoring scheme, an effective monitoring is enabled by extending monitoring coverage using each UAV's circle movements. The UAVs-based monitoring network can also be splitted or merged in order to increase the monitoring effectiveness. Through simulations, we show that the proposed scheme can effectively monitor a large area and achieve a high event detection ratio.

Since the last decades, livestock ranching has been fast industrialized and the global trade of meat products is sheer increasing. And the Korean government opened its domestic beef market to meet increasing domestic demand for beef. In this context, domestic beef production took its way to specialization and scale economies, and subsequently the commodity chain of beef became different from the conventional one. Such institutions as beef quality grade, HACCP, and brand marketing have strong influence on current beef production systems. Furthermore, along with the macro-scale change, regional and local systems and actors also transform the beef commodity chain. Hampyong-gun, which had once been a declining rural and under-served region in the past, is now actively reviving its economy by producing industrialized, specialized, and localized beef. Such native beef production is both impacted by and associated with multi-scaled actors, their institutions and supporting discourses. These heterogeneous actors and institutions form a newer form of native beef system in the region.

우리나라 하천의 중류나 상류는 대부분 산지로 되어 있어서 하천경사가 급하고 하상재료가 크며 지질 및 지형적인 영향을 받아 구속사행이 발달 되어 있는 산지하천이다. 산지하천은 홍수 시 만곡수충부 외측에서 홍수위 상승에 따른 범람과 유속 및 소류력에 의한 하상세굴이 발생한다. 특히 강원도는 산지하천을 따라서 도로가 발달되어 있기 때문에 하천피해는 도로피해와 직결되는 경우가 많다. 산지하천 수충부의 홍수피해를 줄이기 위해서는 호우에 따른 하천의 홍수위 및 하상 변동에 대한 자료가 필요하나 산지하천 특성을 고려한 관련 연구가 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 산지하천 발달특성을 평가하기 위한 기초연구로서 유역의 면적-고도곡선을 평가하고자 한다. 산지하천은 하상을 구성하는 재료가 모래에서부터 전석에 이르기까지 그 크기가 매우 다양하게 분포되어 있어 일반 모래와 자갈이 주를 이루는 평지하천과 현저히 다르다. 하천유역의 면적-고도곡선은 유역의 지질 발달상을 판단하거나 홍수효과 또는 지형의 침식과 퇴적 등을 분석하는데 유효한 방법이다. 강원도 영동지역과 영서지역을 발원지로 하는 하천의 면적과 고도관계를 조사하였으며 이를 위하여 영서지역은 제1차 하천인 한강과 그 주요 지류 21개 하천, 영동지역은 제1차 하천 6개와 그 지류 3개 하천을 선정하고 무차원 면적-고도곡선을 작성하여 유역의 발달단계를 분석하기 위한 면적고도 발달계수를 정의하였다. 골지천을 제외한 모든 조사대상 하천에서 최대표고의 70%이상인 지역이 전체 유역면적의 10%미만을 차지하여 우리나라 하천유역이 상류의 경우 전형적인 장년기에서 노년기 지형으로 발달한 것으로 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 유역의 하류지역은 이미 유년기적인 특성을 보이고 있는 것으로 판단된다. 또한 영동 보다는 영서지역 하천이 하류에서 유년기적 특성이 다소 크고 상류는 장년기가 많은 것으로 분석되었다.

The gradual desertification in Northeastern China brought about by the industrial development and global warming, has affected the Korean peninsula as evident by the ultrafine dust geographically and seasonally. People with severe respiratory problems, senior citizens and the infants are susceptible to the ill effects of fine dust which could prove fatal to them. Hence, we need to study the root cause of fine dust emergence and the correlation verification between fine dust and its side effects. This study firstly analyzed clean and contaminated areas classified by industrial elements. We utilized air, weather and industrial data in the area. Next, we detected a change of fine dust in terms of weather and climate. We analyzed correlation of air and weather by influence from domestic and neighboring country. The result indicated that China is the culprit of the emergence of fine dust predicament. Consequently, we can prove that fine dust ($PM_{10}$) and ultrafine dust ($PM_{2.5}$) could arise from geographical, seasonal, and pollutant elements. Therefore, we propose the optimum to make countermeasures about fine dust in terms of industry, topography, population and living residence.

Surface evapotranspiration is one of the most important factors to determine the surface energy budget, and its estimation is strongly related with the accuracy of weather forecasting. Surface evapotranspiration over Daegu Metropolitan was estimated using high resolution LANDSAT TM data. The estimation of surface evapotranspiration is based on the relationship between surface radiative temperature and vegetation index provided by a TM sensor. The distribution of NDVI (Normalized Difference of Vegetation Index) corresponds well with that of land-used in Deagu Metropolitan. The temperature of several part of downtown in Deagu metropolitan is lower in comparison with the averaged radiative temperature. This is caused by the high evapotranspiration from dense vegetation like DooRyu Park in Deagu Metropolitan. But, weak evapotranspiration availability is distinguished over the central part of downtown and the difference of evapotranspiration availability on industrial complexes and residential area is also clear.

The purpose of this study is to examine the features of students moving to other areas for university education in entrance stage. 2018 K-NSSE data were analyzed, and Chi-square test and binary logistic regression analysis were performed. As a result, many students in Seoul area moved to various areas, but students from local areas moved to Seoul area universities with low percentage. In addition, it was confirmed that there was a difference in socioeconomic background, high school type and academic achievement level, career maturity, and university commitment level among the students group moving from Seoul to the local and from the local to Seoul area. This study suggests that the government needs to provide systematic support to overcome the stratification structure of the university centered on Seoul and to secure diversity of student composition to improve the quality of education and contribute to regional development.
