Uvala is one of the geographic features which have been discussed very actively in the field of Karst geomorphology, but most researches in Korea have been staying at the level which uvala were discussed from the viewpoint of the Karst cycle. In this study, the geomorphological characteristics of Kwangduck-ri Uvala will be identified on the basis of the various definitions, and the irrigation systems which have been developed during 250 years will be analysed using a number of data, such as interviews, statistical data, maps, air-photos, especially topographical analysis from GIS. It is concluded that the site of Kwangduck-ri Uvala would have shown the genuine history to adapt and overcome the obstacles of harsh karst environment and to make the stable agricultural and irrigation system in the high plateau karst area.

This study analyzed the characteristics of the soil and hydrological environment of abandoned paddy wetlands examined the changes in land cover type in the ecological affect area, analyzed the environmental factors of abandoned paddy wetlands, and examined the changes in land cover type in the ecological impact area. The ecological environment characteristics of the reference abandoned paddy wetlands were investigated through literature research, environmental spatial information service, and preliminary exploration of the abandoned paddy wetlands, and the basic data for the restoration of abandoned paddy wetlands ware provided by examining the changes in land cover type in the ecological impact area for 40 years. Through this study, it will be possible to manage the rapidly increasing number of abandoned farmland to be converted into wetlands so that it can perform functions equivalent to or greater than that of natural wetlands. In particular, as we checked the clues that abandoned paddy wetlands could spread to surrounding ecological influences through land cover changes, the study sites are highly likely to be reference wetlands, and if the topography, soil, water circulation system, and carbon reduction performance are analyzed carefully, it will be possible to standardize the development process. In addition, through the change in land cover, clues were confirmed that the abandoned paddy wetlands could spread to the surrounding ecological affect areas. The land cover type in the ecological impact area, forests was mainly distributed, but generally decreased rapidly in the last 10-20 years, and forests were changing from coniferous forests to broad-leaved forests, mixed forests, or grassland. It has not yet been fully called to the wetland, and it is found that it has maintained the form of barren or grassland, and as can be seen in the case of natural wetlands after more than 30 years after abandoned, it is expected that the transition will gradually proceed to wetlands that are structurally and functionally similar to natural wetlands.

토양침식은 지표의 토양이 바람이나 물에 의해 분리되어 이송되는 자연현상이다. 우리나라에서는 주로 물에 의한 토양침식이 발생하며 특히 단기간 집중적으로 내리는 강우에 의해 토양침식이 일어난다. 토양의 침식현상은 농경지 유실, 하공구조물에서의 퇴적토 발생, 수질 오염등 다양한 문제를 일으키며 기후변화로 인한 집중강우의 빈도 및 강도 증가는 토양침식에 의한 피해를 증가 시키고 있다. 이러한 문제를 파악하기 위해 경험적 방법에 의해 개발된 범용토양유실공식인 USLE 모형이 널리 사용되고 있으나 연간 토양침식량을 산정하기 위해 개발된 USLE모형은 강우기간이 짧고 강우강도가 높은 집중호우와 같은 단기 강우사상을 모의할 수 없고 모든 지역을 표현하는 데 한계가 있다. 이에 따라 단기 강우사상을 고려할 수 있는 물리기반 침식모형인 SSEM모형을 활용하였다. SSEM모형은 운동파 방정식의 수치해석과 물리적 기반 접근방식을 통해 토양침식과정을 계산하여 집중호우로 인해 발생하는 토양침식을 보다 정확하게 추정할 수 있다. 이러한 모형의 적용성을 확인하기 위해 우리나라의 의암댐유역 선정하였으며, 지형 및 강우 그리고 댐자료 등 기초자료 수집과 수집된 데이터는 연구 대상에 대한 토양침식량 산정 및 매개변수 추정과 보정하는 데 사용되었다. 이 결과 다른 토지이용에 비해 농경지와 나지에서 많은 침식이 일어나며 도심지에서의 퇴적이 발생하였다.

Forests within watersheds are essential in maintaining ecosystems and are the central infrastructure for constructing an ecological network system. However, due to indiscriminate development projects carried out over past decades, forest fragmentation and land use changes have accelerated, and their original functions have been lost. Since a forest's structural pattern directly impacts ecological processes and functions in understanding forest ecosystems, identifying and analyzing change patterns is essential. Therefore, this study analyzed structural changes in the forest landscape according to the time-series land cover changes using the FRAGSTATS model for the dam watershed of the Geum River upstream. Land cover changes in the dam watershed of the Geum River upstream through land cover change detection showed an increase of 33.12 square kilometers (0.62%) of forests and 67.26 square kilometers (1.26%) of urbanized dry areas and a decrease of 148.25 square kilometers (2.79%) in agricultural areas from the 1980s to the 2010s. The results of no-sampling forest landscape analysis within the watershed indicated landscape percentage (PLAND), area-weighted proximity index (CONTIG_AM), average central area (CORE_MN), and adjacency index (PLADJ) increased, and the number of patches (NP), landscape shape index (LSI), and cohesion index (COHESION) decreased. Identification of structural change patterns through a moving window analysis showed the forest landscape in Sangju City, Gyeongsangbuk Province, Boeun County in Chungcheongbuk Province, and Jinan Province in Jeollabuk Province was relatively well preserved, but fragmentation was ongoing at the border between Okcheon County in Chungcheongbuk Province, Yeongdong and Geumsan Counties in Chungcheongnam Province, and the forest landscape in areas adjacent to Muju and Jangsu Counties in Jeollabuk Province. The results indicate that it is necessary to establish afforestation projects for fragmented areas when preparing a future regional forest management strategy. This study derived areas where fragmentation of forest landscapes is expected and the results may be used as basic data for assessing the health of watershed forests and establishing management plans.

Governmental authorities have been trying to develop our city in respect to the growth of economy and it is true that their developmental policies have negative effects on ecosystem without doubt. To estimate these negative effects, this study is mainly focused on analysing the usage of the land according to the urban growth, and the temporal and spatial patterns between the elements which consist of the landscape of Daegu Metropolitan Sphere, by using the GIS method and the landscape indices. The results of the this study are as follow; the urban areas widened for $193.4km^2$ due to the shift of the urban function, and the forest areas were encroached for $455.6km^2$ into other landcover patterns. It was the shift of the agriculture areas that are given the most influence in those procedures since those developmental conditions are relatively satisfactory. Moreover the forest areas are structurally fragmented into the complicated form, and also the patterns of adjacent patches are become complex. These transitions are regarded as causes of increased external interventions to the forest areas, and these could possibly deteriorate the soundness of forest areas by reducing the core areas which are habitats of species. In conclusion, the results of this study evaluate the influence of much broader urban development on environment structure around urban and mutual relationship between them. In addition, it can provide methods and basic informations for the establishment of metropolitan urban plan after due considerations of the landscape ecological principle.

A physically based semi-distributed model, SWAT was applied to the Chungju Dam upstream watershed in order to investigate the spatial and temporal characteristics of watershed sediment yields. For this, general features of the SWAT and sediment simulation algorithm within the model were described briefly, and watershed sediment modeling system was constructed after calibration and validation of parameters related to the runoff and sediment. With this modeling system, temporal and spatial variation of soil loss and sediment yields according to watershed scales, land uses, and reaches was analyzed. Sediment yield rates with drainage areas resulted in $0.5{\sim}0.6ton/ha/yr$ excluding some upstream sub-watersheds and showed around 0.51 ton/ha/yr above the areas of $1,000km^2$. Annual average soil loss according to land use represented the higher values in upland areas, but relatively lower in paddy and forest areas which were similar to the previous results from other researchers. Among the upstream reaches, Pyeongchanggang and Jucheongang showed higher sediment yields which was thought to be caused by larger area and higher fraction of upland than other upstream sub-areas. Monthly sediment yields at the main outlet showed same trend with seasonal rainfall distribution, that is, approximately 62% of annual yield was generated during July to August and the amount was about 208 ton/yr. From the results, we could obtain the uniform value of sediment yield rate and could roughly evaluate the effect of soil loss with land uses, and also could analyze the temporal and spatial characteristics of sediment yields from each reach and monthly variation for the Chungju Dam upstream watershed.

In this study, the satellite images and the GIS technique are used to select the basin characteristics parameters as the basis of water resources management of river basin. The study area is Geum-ho river basin and the hydrologic characteristics data are computed through the database of the basin characteristics parameters classified by subjects with 35 maps correspond to the study basin of 1:25,000 scale as the basic map. As the result, the drawing up of land use map through satellite image processing that provides the quantitative informations for the land is very efficient to analysis the extensive land use information of the basin, and exact analysis of mass surface data is possible and the feasibility of statistic computation between spatial subjects as it superpose on other subject map is ascertained. It is thought also that the analysis of the basin characteristics data can be utilized very effectively for the basin management and the analysis of basin surface area, once it is expressed numerically for database, since the superposition analysis with different subject map and the correlative analysis with the property data are possible although the tracing process of each subject in the basic map is not efficient. Especially, modification and renewal of the data for the change of land surface become easy, therefore more rapid and exact selection of the basin characteristics data and the construction of more efficient basin management plan are possible.

기후변화로 인한 자연재해는 해마다 크게 증가하고있으며, 홍수 및 가뭄의 강도와 빈도 증가, 지구온난화로 인한 하천 건천화 등 많은 문제들이 대두되고 있다. 특히, 물 순환과정의 핵심요소로 설명되는 유출량의 변동은 용수 공급과 홍수 대응 및 관리, 하천생태계 유지를 위한 환경에 영향을 미치고 있다. 따라서, 갈수량, 풍수량 등을 산정하여 하천별 유황특성을 결정하는 방법을 사용하고 있으나, 이와같은 지표는 계측자료가 과소한 경우 하천의 유황특성을 세부적으로 이해하고 정량적으로 제시하는데에 한계가있다. 따라서, 미계측 유역에서 Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT)과 같은 수리해석모델이 광범위하게 이용되고있으며, SWAT 모델은 유역의 수치표고모형, 토양 특성, 토지이용 현황, 기상 현황, 유역의 매개변수 등을 반영하여 모델이 구동되고 있다. 하지만, 광범위하게 이용되고 적용성이 입증된 모델임에도 불구하고 입력자료의 불확실성 및 조사되지 않은 영농활동 등으로 인해 결과에 불확실성이 내포되어있으며, 불확실성을 줄이기 위해 실측된 하천의 유량 자료를 이용하여 검정 및 보정작업을 거치고 있다. 모델의 보정 방법으로는 SWAT-CUP과 같은 프로그램 이용되고 있지만, 모델에서 이용되는 매개변수로는 보정할수 있는 범위가 한정적이기 때문에 모델의 정확성을 높이는데에 한계가 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 선암천 유역을 대상으로 모델의 매개변수를 보정하지 않고도 머신러닝 기법을 이용하여 모델의 결과를 향상시켰다. 보정 결과, 유량의 경우 R²가 0.42에서 0.91으로 향상되었으며, 특히 고유량 구간에서의 정확성이 매우 향상되었다. 본 연구에서 평가된 SWAT+머신러닝 결합 모형은 향후 모델 구동에 필요한 입력자료가 부족한 경우와 빠른 검정 및 보정 작업이 필요할 경우 활용될수 있을것으로 판단된다.
