In this paper, I tried to interpretate the matter and form of Chumsungdae, which has been mainly assumed as an facility for astronomical observaton of ancient Shilla dynasty, located on Kyongju, Korea. Basically, I took the thoughts of the place and the theory of cognition on landscape as a research tool, and the research was undertaken through the surveying the physical surroundings of chumsungdae and studying the references related to a myth, thoughts, and a tale of shilla era. This research was anticipated to find out the various symbolic meanings and functions of Chumsungdae and its place, which is somewhat different from the view of scientific uses of it. The matter and form of the Chumsungdae realizes the archetypal form of the well and meanings of petition for agricultural abundance, leading to a wishing for political stability of the nation, especially an authority of a reign of the queen, named Sun-duk who is the first one in Shilla Dynasty. The chumsungdae was located on the very sacred place surrounded by the tumulous and Kyerim forest which was birth and death place of the founder and king of a family of Kim. It does mean that the Chumsungdae was very scared work, and made place with combination of meaning above mentioned and natural environment. Finally, this paper suggested the neighboring area of the Chumsungdae be restored with the forest as an archetypeof old picture and environment of Kyerim.

Chumsungdae is an ancient astronomical observatory whose main role was doing 'chunmoon'. It was administrate by a royal advisory agency on state affairs. The observers observed the heaven on the observatory platform, recorded peculiar events, and watched and interpreted the signs displayed in the heaven. Chumsungdae is an stonemasonry which represents almanac principles with its peculiar shapes and the numbers of strata and stones. The numbers were thoroughly invented to match exactly the almanac constants. Chumsungdae is comprised largely of three main parts, namely the square base, the stratified cylindrical body, and the top #-shaped stonework, and the total number of stones is 404. The number of the strata (27) and the height of the cylindrical body (27 尺) stand for the days in a sidereal month (27.3 days), which implies that the motion of the Moon with respect to the stars was given more priority than to the Sun at that time of geocentricism. And the cylindrical body was thoroughly designed to consist of 365 stones, which is of course the number of days in a solar year. In addition, there are 12 strata each under and above the south entrance and this in sum makes the 24 divisions of the year. Also there is 182 stones below the 13th stratum and this represents the number of days in the winter ~ summer solstice period, and the rest 183 stones the vice versa. The #-shaped top stonework was aligned in such a way that one of the diagonals points the direction of sunrise on the winter solstice. The square base also layed with the same manner. The south entrance was built 16 degrees SE, and the upright direction of the right pillar stone coincides with the meridian circle. This was a kind of built-in standard meridian circle facilitating the observations. In a symbolic sense, Chumsungdae was thought as the tunnel reaching the heaven, where the observers wished to be enlightened with the signs and inspirations in need. With the craftsmanship and skill, the builder reinforced the stratified cylindrical body with two sets of #-shaped beam stones, piercing at a right angle at 19th ~ 20th and 25th ~ 26th strata. Likewise, by placing the double #-shaped stonework with 8 beam stones on the platform of the observatory, both the stability of the stonemasonry and a guard rail for the nightly observers were securely provided.

감은사는 첨성대가 건축되고 46년 후 서력 682년에 세워진 신라시대 사찰로 현재는 금당터와 석탑 및 각종 석조 유물로 전해지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 1959년 1차 발굴 때 감은사지 금당터의 동편에서 발견된 동편 태극 장대석과 2차 발굴 때 감은사지 남편 연못에서 발견되어 1993년 인위적으로 서편에 배치된 서편 태극 장대석에 대한 과학적 의미를 파악하기 위하여 유물에 각인된 도형의 기하학적 분석을 한다. 그리하여 감은사지 태극 장대석이 의미하는 수학적, 천문학적인 도형의 현대적 해석을 통하여 당시의 과학 수준을 가늠할 중요한 척도를 얻게 되었다. 또한 동편 및 서편 태극 장대석이 나타내는 이등변삼각형들의 배치가 각각 해와 달과 관련된 책력과 연관함을 추론하게 된다. 이러한 엄밀한 수학적 개념 조사를 통하여 역사적 사실이 빈약한 오래된 역사적 구조물을 이해하고 고증하는데 새로운 연구 방향을 제시해준다.

본 연구는 실제크기의 첨성대 모형을 피사체로 선정하여 측정용 카메라에 의해 원형 strip과 Block을 형성한 후, bundle조성으로 촬영거리와 기준점 배치에 따른 정확도를 다양하게 분석하고 strip조합해석의 특성을 규명하므로써 전면(全面)해석을 요하는 각종 문화재 특히 원통형 구조물에 대한 최적 해석기법을 제시한 것이다. 연구결과 어느 일면에 배치된 기준점 만으로도 전면해석이 가능하며, 기준점수에 비해 그 배치가 정도에 보다 큰 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었다. 또한 구조물의 전면해석시 기준점은 X, Y, Z축 평면상에 고루 배치하는 것이 이상적이며, 근접촬영하여 strip조합수에 증가시킴에 따라 정확도가 현저히 향상되었다.

In order to monitor local climatic information, twelve automated weather stations (AWS) were installed in alpine area by the Alpine Agricultural Experiment Station, Rural Development Administration (RDA), at the field of major crop located in around highland area, and collected data from 1993 to 2000. Hourly measurements of air and soil temperature (underground 10 cm,20 cm), relative humidity, wind speed and direction, precipitation, solar radiation and leaf wetness were automatically performed and the data could be collected through a public phone line. Datalogger was selected as CR10X (Campbell scientific, LTD, USA) out of consideration for sensers' compatibility, economics, endurance and conveniences. All AWS in alpine area were combined for net work and daily climatic data were analyzed in text and graphic file by program (Chumsungdae, LTD) on 1 km $\times$ 1 km grid tell basis. In this analysis system, important multi-functionalities, monitoring and analysis of local climatic information in alpine area was emphasized. The first objective was to obtain the output of a real time data from AWS. Secondly, daily climatic normals for each grid tell were calculated from geo-statistical relationships based on the climatic records of existing weather stations as well as their topographical informations. On 1 km $\times$ 1 km grid cell basis, real time climatic data from the automated weather stations and daily climatic normals were analyzed and graphed. In the future, if several simulation models were developed and connected with this system it would be possible to precisely forecast crop growth and yield or plant disease and pest by using climatic information in alpine area.
