The eastern coast of Seopo-myeon, Sancheon-si in the South Coast is a bay almost completely separated from open sea by Changseon and Namhae Islands. Marine terraces in this area can be classified into geomorphic surfaces with elevations of 10~12m, 15~18m, 20~24m, 25~28m, 30~33m, 35~38m, 40~45m, 45~50m and 54m. This marine terrace system is similar to the Boryeong area in the West Coast. The geomorphic surfaces distribute along ridges and show relatively small areas. The young and old surfaces show a mixed distributional pattern. This distributional pattern contrasts to the East Coast where the oldest surface farthest from the coastline is parallel to the coast and age of the surfaces increases with a distance from the coast. These seem to result in high energy waves by typhoon that developed wave-cut platform on hill areas with relatively complex relief in a short time.

This study investigated the growth pattern and species composition by landform and seaside distribution to evaluate the basic community structure and topographical distribution of the Peucedanum japonicum Thunb. community group in Korea. The appearing plants with the Peucedanum japonicum Thunb. were a total 170 taxa belonging to 130 genera and to 57 families, and the species number by families was the most in Compositae of 30 taxa. The frequency of appearing plants was the highest in the Aster spathulifolius Max.(54.1%), and the east and west seasides were the highest in the Aster spathulifolius Max. and south seaside was the highest in the Miscanthus sinensis Ander.. The ratio of common plants among seasides was the highest between the west and south seasides of 35.6% with 47 taxa. The distribution landforms of the Peucedanum japonicum Thunb. was a $17.4^{\circ}$ slope of the unevenness landform, vertical joint, horizontal joint, blockfield, planation surfaces and the rocky seaside of the sea cliff. The distribution among landforms was the greatest in the rocky seaside of the 61 regions. The sociability on growing pattern was the highest in the 3 sociability rank of 54.6% with the 83 region.

본 연구에서는 해안침식이 진행되고 있는 해운대 해수욕장의 장기 해안지형 변화 및 인근지역의 토지피복 변화에 대해 분석하였다. 지난 60여 년간의 항공사진을 이용하여 해안선을 추출하고 이를 수심측량 및 GPS측량 자료를 이용하여 조위보정한 후, 해빈면적을 추출하여 해안지형 변화를 분석하였다. 또한 환경부 토지피복 세분류를 기준으로 하여 육안판독을 통해 13개년도의 토지피복도를 제작하고 토양유실량을 산정하여 연도별 토지피복 변화를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 해운대 해수욕장의 해안선이 점진적으로 후퇴하고 있으며 해수욕장 면적이 전체적으로 감소하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 춘천천 복개 및 도시개발에 의한 모래 공급원 차단이 이러한 해안침식에 영향을 주는 인위적 원인이라고 사료된다.

The Taeanhaean National Park is located on the middle of the west coast of Korean peninsula. Due to the relatively high wave energy, large tidal range which is about 7m, and extremely complex coastal line, various coastal land-forms such as mud-flats, sand beaches, sand dunes, sea cliffs etc. are well distributed in this area, and thus various coastal ecosystems are well preserved. However, because of reckless sand diggings and construction of artificial structures in the coastal zone, the natural flowing and exchange of coastal deposits were disturbed and the erosion in the beach and the dune has been seriously accelerated. To understand of the causes of these problems, we tried three times periodical measuring with VRS/RTK GPS instrument at the Hakampo and Anmyeon beach. According to seasonal changes of the coast-line, beach area and cross-section of study sites, generally erosion process was dominated in the summer and deposition process was followed after summer.

After the notorious Taean Oil spill in Dec. 2007, a series of sand fences made of fishing net were installed in front of foredune in Shindu dune area. This paper aims to understand the temporal and spatial characteristics of morphological changes of the beach and foredune. About 1m high sand accumulated around sand fences for the last 2 years. While a lot of sand deposited during the winter season (from autumn to spring), small amount of sand eroded and deposited during summer season (from spring to autumn) without big morphological changes. These results mean that sand fences help nature deposit sand near beach and foredune area.

In this paper, previously proposed mechanisms of generation and maintenance of rip currents are grouped into three broad categories; (1) prismatic topography models, (2) non-prismatic topography models and (3) structural controls by natural and/or constructed features, such as headlands, piers. groins, jetties. etc. The prismatic models can explain the occurrence of a rip current on a planar beach, while non-prismatic model needs undulatory topography inside the surf zone to generate and maintain a rip current. Yet more detailed and thorough studies need to be conducted to include all relevant variables and to clarify the mechanism(s) governing rip current. Next a simple model is presented to predict mean longshore currents behind a longshore bar (or submerged breakwaters) by considering mass transport over the bar and the bar morphology. This hydrodynamic model could be extended to include the sedimentary feedback mechanism.

Morphological changes around the groin system in the beach are examined using a numerical model. The model consists of two parts : the hydrodynamic model which calculates the transformation of waves and currents, and the sediment transport model which determines sediment transport rates and bottom topographic changes. The numerical model is applied to single-groin and three-groin systems on a typical plane beach. The changes to the beach system due to waves and currents during 150-day simulation near the groins are calculated using sediment transport rate patterns in the domain. The sand by-passing rate patterns around groins are also evaluated.

This study is aimed to clarify the distribution chracteristics of marine terraces and extract the specific surface at Gampo-eup, Gyeongju city on the map of 1:5,000 using GIS. The effects and problems occurred on the process of using GIS were investigated for the research of marine terrace. The longitudinal profile analysis was carried out along the 12 sections on the geomorphic surfaces of the study area, and actually High higher surface(HH-surface) was found over 100m a.s.l., which has not been reported till now. And the occupancy rate could be calculated by substitution on the height between 4m and 87m a.s.l. for each mean slope degree $1-5^{\circ}$ obtained from the actual measuring along four sections. Consequently the lower-I surface was highly reliable to use as the key bed for studying marine terraces. The accurate and detail analysis about the marine terraces is able to be accomplished on the basis of meaningful actual measuring, though its general possible distribution area can be extracted from GIS with the less effort. Namely the quantified results obtained from GIS could offer the basis for the objective analysis of the geomorphic surfaces. And we can look over the landscape and investigate the surfaces with reliefs effectively in relation to the real geomorphology on the study area, where in situ approach is difficult. But the digital map with a large scale should be offered first of all in order to raise the accuracy of the analysis.

The classified map of geomorphic surfaces is the most basic data for the geomorphological research. Up to recent days, the traditional methods extracting specific geomorphic surfaces are accomplished by analyzing the aerial photographs and topographical maps, and field works. Also it needs a lot of time and expertness. Furthermore it is difficult to gain the aerial photographs in Korea. Since digital maps in Korean Peninsula are almost completed recently, we tried to extract specific surfaces by analyzing the characteristics of marine terraces based on the level of paleoshoreline and slope analysis on the terrace surface using GIS. However, research used GIS was hardly found up to date, therefore many problems are not be solved yet. The aim of this study is to develop the more efficient and objective method for the extraction and classification of specific geomorphic surfaces by using GIS in Gampo-eup, Gyeongju city, Southeastem Coast in Korea, where a lot of traditional research has already accomplished. For this aim, we have designed the process of extracting specific geomorphic surfaces, chosen the factors that was Gyeongiu city, Southeastem Coast in Korea, where a lot of traditional research has already accomplished. For this aim, we have designed the process of extracting specific geomorphic surfaces, chosen the factors that was suitable for classification of specific geomorphic surface, and presented method of setting up optimum criteria of extraction. As last, effectiveness and problems of these methods were investigated through conincidence rate and error rate.

해안구조물의 설치나 해안환경 문제를 다룰때 가장 필수적인 것이 그 지역에서의 정확한 파랑자료이다. 파랑은 천해로 전파해 옴에 따라 수심 및 지형변화로 인한 회절 및 굴절을 겪으면서 변하게 되므로 복잡한 지형을 가진 해안에서의 정확한 파랑계산은 용이한 일이 아니다. 이러한 파랑변형에 대한 연구는 Berkhoff(1972)가 완경사방정식을 발표한 후 큰 진전을 보이게되는데 이로 인해 종래 개별적으로 다루던 굴절과 회절을 함께 취급할 수 있게 되고 파향선이 교차할때 생기는 불합리한 에너지의 집중(caustics)을 해결할 수 있게 되었다.
