Within the urban area, over the past decades unused land and public land such as streams and road sides have given urban residents a space for farming (urban farms). However, because this use is illegal, farming in unused and public lands could cause conflicts between urban farm users and land owners, degrade the quality of the urban landscape and contaminate the environment. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to provide a way of legalizing these farming practices that have been cultivated in unused urban areas and public lands. This study analyzed the status of distribution and use of the urban farms that have been scattered around urban areas in many different forms. The survey was conducted through on-the-spot investigation and in-person interviews with farm users and those who were operating weekend farms in the Siji region of Daegu Metropolitan City. According to the results of this study, urban farms were mainly found in green areas that were easily accessible from residential districts and prohibited from development. It was also revealed that the nearer to the border of the residential districts the sites of urban farms were, the larger the number of urban farms was. When it comes to the type of land use, although the proportion of urban farms located in farmlands was very high, the proportion of those located on state-owned lands such as roads, railroads and streams was also high, over 1/3 of that of the former sites. Among the users of urban farms, the percentage of users who were farming private-owned land for free was highest and that of state-owned land without permission ranked second. Most people who were farming unused lands or state-owned lands without permission, such as streams, roads, railroads, were the elderly. This shows the potential of farms in urban area as leisure activities spaces for the elderly. Even though this study has limitations in that the survey target area was selected in a certain area and the sizes of all urban farms were not measured by surveying apparatus and instruments, it helps to determine the characteristics of use and distribution associated with the spaces of urban farming, and to raise the importance and necessity of legalizing urban farms cultivated illegally in public land.

More recently, there have been significant changes in the forms of channels due to runoff characteristics driven by climate changes and other alterations in basin/channel environments. Particularly, increasing local deposition in major channels is being observed nationwide. Of such phenomena, it is noteworthy that flood-plains show unidirectional growth and lowering of channels within compound channels in the form of a high-flow plain. These changes are supposed to affect management of the river ecology as well as flood control. In this study, the research on channels in Korea confirmed that the phenomenon of local deposition in those channels is actually taking place, rendering a problem to be urgently addressed. Previous studies on bed changes have been focused on low channels based on bed materials distributed over the channels. However, this research has proved that surface-layer deposition of a high-flow plain is closely related with changes in the conditions of ground surfaces and, ultimately, affects the bed of the entire channel as well. According to the intensive research on the condition of the high-flow plain of the mouth of the Han River, the silt deposited in the high-flow plain was the main cause of settlement/growth of vegetation. And this leads to landforming along with woods-forming, disturbing flood control as well as the normal river ecology.

현재 도시침수는 외수에 의한 침수보다 국지성 호우 등 홍수방어 시설의 설계빈도 이상의 강우 발생으로 내수에 의한 침수피해가 증가하고 있다. 국지성 호우의 증가로 하천지대 및 저지대로의 유출량이 증가하고 있으며, 우수관거의 노후화 및 통수능 부족으로 침수피해가 증가하는 실정이다. 따라서 홍수방어를 위한 다양한 대책들이 이루어지고 있으나 하수관거 교체 및 대규모의 우수유출저감시설은 막대한 예산과 부지가 소모되므로 대도시에서는 이러한 홍수방어 대책들이 시행되기 어려운 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존의 도로 배수시설에서 도로 표면 유출수의 수로역할을 하던 측구부를 저류시설로 활용하여 대규모의 부지와 큰 예산이 소요되지 않는 측구 저류시스템을 개발하였다. 측구 저류시설의 관련 특성인자 분석을 위하여 세장형, 중간형, 집중형 등 3가지 형상의 가상유역을 대상유역으로 선정하여 측구 저류시설 설치 및 유역 특성인자의 변화에 따른 관계를 분석하였다. 측구 저류시설 설치 위치에 따른 유출저감효과 분석을 위하여 전체 유역면적에 대한 저류시설 상류부 면적의 비를 변화시키면서 분석을 수행하였으며, 매개변수 분석 및 관계식을 도출하였다. 또한 유역형상에 따른 유출구 첨두유량을 분석하였으며, 그 결과를 바탕으로 유역 특성인자 변화에 따른 민감도를 분석하였다.

In this study, it was investigated if the outflow from incised slope in a new constructed landfill site flowed into it from the neighboring existing landfill site. The water quality of the outflow was compared with the leachate of the neighboring existing landfill site, monitoring well, stream water, and underground water near by the new constructed landfill site. We examined a result of filtering experiment of the leachate and $NH_3$ and $H_2S$ analysis of odor in the outflow site. The results of the experiments were the pollution level of the outflow from the constructed site was quiet high, relatively, and that the micro-analysis of organic materials from the outflow and the odor analysis of organic materials were related with the outflow results. So we supposed that the outflow was affected with the leachate of the neighboring existing landfill site and countermeasures should be made prior to construction.

Recently, existing river improvement methods for flood control purpose have changed into nature friendly river improvement methods and the efforts to improve the river environment including river restoration have been made, and close-to-nature river improvement and nature friendly river restoration are actively conducted all over the country. In the present situation where various revetment methods are used after the introduction of the concept of close-to-nature river improvement, the environmental characteristics of rivers need to be considered to apply more suitable revetment methods. Therefore, as a precedent study for the development of revetment evaluation techniques and methods for close-to-nature river improvement, the present study suggested evaluation techniques using detailed survey items through field survey. Evaluation items of hydraulic stability consist of mode of streamline, stream bed gradient, flow velocity and tractive force ratio and those of environmental efficiency consist of revetment of vegetation, state of river water, land use of the terrace land on the river, vegetation and materials of the terrace land on the river. Each item was graded with the point 1 through 5. Hydraulic stability and environmental efficiency was evaluated by the points which were averaged in each items. As the result of the application of the proposed evaluation technique, it was found that a number of existing revetments excessively focus on hydraulic stability with little consideration about environmental term. It is expected that the proposed technique in the present study can be used as a base for providing guidelines to construct the design and construction of revetments in the future.

It is a general trend that golf courses have been developed on mountain areas or in valleys due to economical or legal reasons in Korea. Therefore, most of golf courses have special landscape characteristics of brooks and ridge lines as well as peaks. Development of golf courses in the regions of intermediate valley significantly influences ecological factors such as biodiversity, hydrology, and biogeochemical cycles due to changes in original ecosystems of valleys, ridges, and peaks. This study developed a comprehensive framework to incorporate ecological principles and examples into the landscape planning and design process. The restoration system fur water environment may significantly minimize the ecological impacts from developing golf courses. Biotops and artificial damps have been applied to a golf course construction site in southern part of Korea, requiring a restoration of existing water ecosystem by the local EPA. The detailed drawings and water restoration plans were presented in this paper.

In this study, the HEC-GeoRAS model was used to estimate the changes of flood inundation depth and area of the Hyeoam-cheon basin after the channel migration and river improvement. The target area was extremely damaged due to the heavy rainfall on 25th August, 2014 after the costruction. According to the results of the analysis, the HEC-GeoRAS model can be used to accurately estimate the changes of flood innundation depth and area in agrecultural lands and lowlands of which the topographic changes and elevation differences are small. The inundation depths were increased 0.99 m in heavy rainfall and 0.39 m in 100 year frequency flood. The inundation areas in 100 year frequency flood were reduced in inundation depths under 1.5 m while they were increased in depths above 4.5 m. It was concluded that the loss of natural resevoir capacity of agricultural lands and lowlands due to the channel migration and river improvement caused the damage of flood in 2014 and the decrease of actual effective widths of the channel added the damage.

본 연구는 현재와 과거의 하도 지형자료 분석을 통하여 만경강에서 나타나는 폐천(Abandoned channel)을 파악하고, 유형을 폐쇄형, 개방형, 육화형 폐천으로 구분하여 각각의 본류구간과 함께 식물상 및 식생분포 특성을 비교하였다. 만경강의 경우 1918년 하도 형태가 경지정리 및 치수사업에 따른 제방축조 등 인위적인 절단(Engineered cutoff)으로 8개소 이상의 구간에서 하도 선형이 크게 변경됨으로써 폐천이 형성되는 것으로 나타났다. 현재 폐천부지는 육화형태의 농지 이용 및 개방형 또는 폐쇄형의 습지로 유지되는 것으로 조사되었다. 폐천 유형에 따라 나타난 식물상은 폐쇄형 56종류, 개방형 31종류로 조사되었다. 육화형의 본류의 경우 보에 의한 영향으로 달뿌리풀 (Phragmites japonica)과 저수로 검정말(Hydrilla verticillata) 등의 수생식물이 우점하는 정체수역이 나타났다. 개방형 폐천은 갈수기에도 수심이 깊은 수역이 확보되어 본류에 비하여 출현종수가 높았다. 폐쇄형 폐천은 연꽃(Nelumbo nucifera), 애기부들(Typha angustifolia) 등의 다양한 수생식물이 출현하여 본류에 비해 안정된 습지 생태계를 유지하였다. 만경강의 개방형과 폐쇄형 폐천은 수생식물의 증가와 전형적인 습지생태계를 유지하고 있었으며 본류의 정체수역이 관찰되었다. 본래 하천의 연속성을 향상하기 위한 유수생태계의 복원은 하천의 건강성을 향상하기 위한 방안이 될 것이다.

본 연구에서는 완경사 계단형 낙차공에서 하류수심 변화에 따른 도수 형태의 변화와 WTF 흐름 특성에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 일정한 유량에서 하류수위를 증가시키면 도수 형태가 달라지는데 특히 계단 끝단에서 완전도수, 잠김도수(B점프), downward curved jet, upward curved jet, wave type flow(WTF)가 차례로 나타났다. 잠김도수에서는 표면 롤러 현상이 관찰되었고 curved jet에서는 큰 유속 감세 없이 파가 하류까지 전달되었다. WTF에서는 사류흐름이 바닥 recirculation 구역의 영향으로 변형되면서 wave 형태의 도수를 발생시켰다. 하류수위를 점점 증가 시키면 도수의 발생 위치가 계단 위쪽으로 이동하며 잠김도수와 WTF가 번갈아가며 발생하였다. 하류수위가 높아질수록 도수의 규모는 작아졌으며 표면 롤러도 미약해지는 경향을 보였다. 세 가지 유량조건에 따른 WTF의 규모를 비교한 결과 유량이 증가할수록 WTF의 크기가 증가하였으며 무차원화한 WTF의 형상은 거의 비슷한 것으로 나타났다. 계단형 낙차공은 기존낙차공에서 발생하는 도수와 달리 WTF가 발생되므로 이에 대한 분석이 필요하다. WTF가 발생하는 구간의 수위는 하류수위보다 높아지기 때문에 하천 설계 시 하천 접합부의 조건(구수부지설치, 제방설치 등)에 따라 wave의 높이가 설계의 중요 인자로 고려되어야 할 것이다. WTF는 지금까지의 계단형 낙차공 설계 시 고려되지 못한 부분으로서 차후에 계단형 구조물 또는 계단식 변형 구조물 설계 시 주요 자료로 활용 될 것이다.
