Recently, local government has established a development strategy which takes into account the quality of each area, in order to solve the problems posed by poor development, hindrance of the urban landscape, the limits imposed by relevant laws, etc. However, the number of floors is an important factor which determines the urban landscape, planning density and quality of the external space. This planning factor has a very different effect according to the terrestrial circumstances, number of households, underparking ratio, green space ratio and floor area ratio. Therefore, in this study, a case analysis and case study are conducted and the correlation between each index is clarified. The conclusions of this study are follows. Firstly, flexibility should be ensured by taking into consideration the density indicators, average number of floors, and residential environmental performance measures in related laws and systems. Secondly, it is necessary to develop a wide-area planning method that extends the planning concept from the beginning of planning to neighboring blocks or cities. Thirdly, deregulation measures should be implemented, such as establishing specialized strategies for each region, and regulatory measures for encouraging different types of development.

The U.S. Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) resulted in the conversion of approximately 14.8 million ha(36.5 million acres) of cropland to grassland, woodland, and other conservation uses throughout the U.S. between 1986 and 1992. One of the major results of CRP has been the addition of millions of hectares of potential wildlife habitat. primarily as grassland. In this study, we examined regional changes in landscape structure caused by the introduction of CRP. Utilizing multi-seasonal Landsat Thematic Mapper imagery, we produced maps of cropland and grassland for the pre- and post- CRP enrollment periods for a six-county region in southwest Kansas. We then applied post-classification differencing to identify regions of cropland that had been converted to CRP. Using the FRAGSTATS spatial pattern analysis program, we calculated a variety of spatial statistics to analyze changes in landscape structure due to CRP. The major impact of CRP in the six-county study area has been the reversal of an overall trend of grassland habitat fragmentation. From the standpoint of potential wildlife habitat, the introduction of CRP has greatly increased the number of patches, mean patch size, and the interior or core area of grassland patches. In addition, CRP has increased connectivity and aggregation between grassland patches, potentially important factors for species of conservation interest, particularly those that require larger expanses of unbroken habitat. Finally, the distance between neighboring patches of grassland has decreased, reducing travel distance between patches. Clearly, the introduction of CRP has substantially modified the spatial structure of the southwest Kansas landscape, with important implications for wildlife habitat.

The purpose of this study was to find the changes in the habitat of wild birds caused by climate change in urban rivers and protected areas that greatly require ecological functions. In the future, this study can be used as a management index to protect the urban river ecosystem and maintain the health of sustainable urban rivers, thereby ensuring biodiversity. The Tancheon Ecological and Landscape Conservation Area, selected as a target site, has been affected by climate change. The four seasons of Korea have a distinct temperate climate, but the average annual temperature in Seoul has risen by 2.4-2.8℃ over the last 40 years. Winter temperatures tended to gradually increase. Precipitation, which was concentrated from June to August, is now changing into localized torrential rain and a uniform precipitation pattern of several months. Climate change causes irregular and unforeseen features. Climate change has been shown to have various effects on urban river ecosystems. The decrease in the area of water surface and sedimentary land impacted river shape change and has led to large-scale terrestrialization. Plants showed disturbance, and the vegetation was simplified. The emergence of national climate change indicator species, the development of foreign herbaceous plants, the change of dry land native herbaceous species, and wet intelligence vegetation were developed. Wild birds appeared in the territory of winter-summer migratory. In addition, species change and the populations of migratory birds also occurred. It was judged that fluctuations in temperature and precipitation and non-predictive characteristics affect the hydrological environment, plant ecology, and wild birds connecting with the river ecosystem. The results of this study were to analyze how climate change affects the habitat of wild birds and to develop a management index for river ecological and landscape conservation areas where environmental and ecological functions in cities operate. This study can serve as a basic study at the level of ecosystem services to improve the health of urban rivers and create a foundation for biodiversity.

Global warming has a significant impact on diverse ecosystems including agroecosystem through; changing of phenology, physiology and distribution. Monitoring of biological responses emanating from global warming is required to understand the challenges of biological diversity conservation posed by climate change. The Korean government selected four butterfly species as indicators of climate change in agroecosystem: Papilio xuthus, Pieris rapae, Colias erate, and Eurema mandarina. The aim of this study was to investigate the different monitoring methods of the butterflies in Korea and suggest a suitable monitoring method to track the population trends of butterflies in the agroecosystem. Butterfly monitoring was conducted in eight sites throughout Korea from April to October, 2018 using three survey methods: point census at rice paddy area, point census at the border between rice paddy and hill and line transect along the rice paddy and hill. Each method took approximately 30 min. to count the butterflies. A total of 4,691 butterflies and 92 species were counted: The most dominant species was Pieris rapae with a total count of 1,205 individuals followed by Polygonia c-aureum, Zizeeria maha, Colias erate, Cupido argiades and Papilio xuthus. Among the three census methods, the total number of species and individuals when using line transect method was statistically higher than in the other methods. However, the numbers of the four butterflies indicators showed no difference throughout three census methods. Based on the number of species and the total individuals butterflies in agroecosystem, we advocate for the application of line transect method as it can find more butterflies in agroecosystem. In addition, we advised for the implementation of education programs on the line transect method in butterfly identification to participants of the national monitoring program.

우리나라는 계절에 따라 수량의 변화가 커서 하천에 흐르는 유량의 변화가 심하지만 대부분의 하천은 갈수기에도 각각 일정량의 유량을 가지고 흘러간다. 그러나 충적층을 통과하는 소하천의 경우에는 계절에 상관없이 하천수가 지하로 침투하여 지표수가 감소한다. 소하천의 하천수량이 갈소되거나 건천화 될 경우 수질이 악화되거나 하천의 바닥이 드러날 경우 수중생태계는 파괴됨 것이다. 현재 지하수를 개발하여 부족한 하천수를 보충하는 방법을 모색하고 있으나 하천수의 지하침투가 심각한 경우에는 지하수만으로는 하천수의 부족분을 보충하는데 한계가 있다. 충적층을 통과하는 소하천의 침투수를 차단하는 방법으로 충적층에 불투수 매트를 설치하여 사용하면 하천의 건천화를 방지할 수 있으며, 충적층의 침투수를 차단하기 위하여 충적층위에 점토층을 설치하여 투수계수를 저하시키는 방법을 사용하면 부족한 하천유지용수를 확보할 수 있다. 따라서 충적층을 통과하는 소하천의 건천화를 방지하고 자연형 하천으로 개발할 경우 수중생태계 복원성이 우수하며, 자연경관의 복원에도 효과가 있다.

The paradigm of the use and management of natural resources is changing. Wise use of natural resources can be achieved by enhancing their conservation value and, at the same time, taking them as an opportunity for regional development. It leads to an idea of pursuing regional development by making good use of natural resources. In this paper, natural resources were classified as living species resources, ecosystem and landscape resources, and non-living resources. The resources were divided into 27 detailed analysis indices. The administrative boundaries of 165 municipalities in Korea were defined as spatial analysis units. Finally, a spatial database of natural resources was built. To classify the regional types, we conducted factor analyses with a detailed index of natural resources and a cluster analysis with the factor value. As the result of the factor analysis, six factors have been deduced as follows: forest resources, landscape resources, coastal ecology resources, inland water resources, landform resources, and ecology visit resources. In addition, the cluster analyses were conducted for the points of the factors drawn. The final classification consists of nine groups, and appropriate methods for each regional development have been suggested. Results of this study will contribute to providing fundamental materials for site selection and objective-setting for regional development policies and planning in consideration of natural resources.

Human responses, such as construction of levees, are a spatial representation of the place vulnerability which is induced by a geomorphic hazard like flooding. Human responses include all forms of human activities to reduce the place vulnerability and they seem to be related with reducing vulnerability rather than reducing geomorphic hazards. Diverse human responses to the perceived environment bring about changes in the place vulnerability. People respond spatially to their vulnerability of the place in diverse ways from their experience and perceived risk. Human responses have quantitative possibilities in predicting and modeling the place vulnerability. Building the model of a dynamic place vulnerability to the diverse geomorphic hazards requires basic maps of geomorphic processes and human responses in the region.

This research was conducted to investigate the impact of viewing scenery and walking in the urban forest on physiological relaxation of humans. The experiment was conducted in Hanbat Arboretum located in Daejeon, and the control experiment was conducted in front of Daejeon City Hall. The subjects that participated in the experiment comprised 24 Korean male university students in their 20s (average age, $21.1{\pm}2.5years$), participated in the experiment as the subject, and these subjects were classified into three groups divided into three locations such as the pine forest in Arboretum, the pond in Arboretum, and the city. The subjects sat down and viewed scenery for 10 min, and they then walked for 15 min. Further, physiological changes were measured using indicators such as heart rate variability (HRV), blood pressure, and pulse rate. As a result, when subjects viewed scenery and walked in the urban forest, a statistically significant increase in the high frequency (HF) power of HRV and decrease in systolic pressure was observed compared with when subjects viewed scenery and walked in the city. Through this research, it was found that activities like viewing scenery or walking in Arboretum of the city are effective in increasing the physiological relaxation of the city residents.

기후변화의 영향으로 기온과 강수량의 증가가 나타나고 있으며, 이러한 변화는 수문 순환 및 강우-유출의 변화로 인해 하천의 수질에도 영향을 미치게 된다. 수질 오염원 중 배출원의 형태가 명확하지 않은 비점오염원은 강우의 유출과 함께 발생하는 특징을 띤다. 비점오염원은 지표면에 존재하던 오염 물질이 지표면에서 유출이 발생함에 따라 하천으로 유입되는 오염물이다. 이에 따라 강우량에 비례하는 특성을 띠며 점 오염원과 달리 변동 폭이 크다. 대표적인 비점오염물로 알려진 질소, 인과 같은 영양물질은 하천으로 유입 시 부영양화를 야기하는 물질로 우리나라와 같이 계절별 강수량의 차이가 큰 환경에서 비점오염물의 지속적인 관리는 필수적이라 할 수 있다. 비점오염원은 오염원을 특정할 수 없기 때문에 하천으로의 유입을 최소화하는 최적관리기법(Best Management Practices)을 통해 관리한다. 국내외에서 가장 널리 이용되는 비점오염원 최적관리기법은 식생형 시설로, 나지에 식물체를 파종함으로써 토양의 유실을 방지하여 비점오염물의 하천 유입을 저감시키고, 자연경관으로써 기능한다. 미래 수자원의 효과적인 이용을 위해서는 기후변화에 따른 수문 변화, 그로 인한 수질 변화 특성을 파악하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기후변화 시나리오를 통해 기온, 강수, 습도와 같은 기후 조건의 변화를 고려하여 예측되는 비점오염물의 유출 저감 대책의 영향을 분석하고자 한다. 이 때, 기후변화 시나리오는 그 자체로 불확실성을 포함하는 자료이기 때문에 특정 시나리오를 분석하기 보다는 기후변화 진행 정도에 따른 비점오염물 유출을 산정하고 저감 대책의 영향을 분석한다. 연구를 수행하기 위해 장기간의 강우-유출 특성의 모의가 가능하고 저감 대책을 제공하는 SWAT 모형을 이용한다. SWAT 모형에서는 여러 최적관리기법을 제공하는데, 가장 널리 이용되는 것이 식생형 시설인 것에 기초하여 적용할 저감 대책으로 계단식 산비탈(Terracing)을 선정하였다. 저감 대책의 적용으로 비점오염물질이 적게는 약 30%에서 많게는 60%까지 변화하며 매우 효율적으로 저감되는 것이 확인되었다. 저감 시설의 적용을 통해 총 량 뿐만 아니라 시간에 따른 비점오염물 유출의 변동성 또한 감소시킬 수 있음이 확인되었다.
