Because of the continuing rapid increase in pesticide usage in Taiwan, much attention has been focus on pesticide contamination of food and effect of pesticides on human and environmental health. The Plant Protection Center (PPC) conducts safety evaluation of pesticides usee! in Taiwan. The pesticides are classified into different groups based on their acute toxicities. Pesticides which are classified into extremely toxic group are not allow to used on short term crops or the continuously harvest crops. The acute toxicity of pesticides to the beneficial insects are also studied, special attention has been paid to the two predators of rice brown planthopper. 60% of cultivated land in Taiwan are paddy field; therefore, acute fish toxicity was taken into consideration when a pesticide was applied for registration to be used in the paddy. Fish toxicities were evaluated by the dangerous rating value which is the amount of pesticide residue in the field water over the TLM value. Mutagenicity of pesticides was continuously evaluated by using Arne's microbial testing method. Island wide survey of residual levels of pesticides of known pollutants such as chlorinated hydrocarbon . insecticides, mercurial compounds in soil, water and biological samples were carried out constantly. The potential of a new1y Imported esticides to pollute the environment were studied by using model ecosystem. Ecological magnification (EM) of a chemical was calculated from model ecosystem. A chemical was considered as a pollutant when its EM value over 5000. In order to ensure the levels of pesticides residue of the crop within the safety limit. The 'tolerance' of pesticides on different crop groupings were established base on 1) acceptable daily intake value of individual pesticides, 2) average daily consumption of each crop groupings by Chinese person, 3) Actual residues of pesticides. on different crops obtained from supervised trials. Total about 79 pesticides for which the tolerances have been established on different crop groupings. Because the intensive agricultural system was adopted in Taiwan. The phytotoxicity of pesticides to the non-target crops was therefore become one of the important factor in the safety evaluation of pesticide usage. These will include 1) direct injury, 2) injury caused by pesticide polluted irrigation water, 3) injury caused by the pesticide polluted soil, 4) reduction of growth caused by the effect of pesticide on the soil microorganisms. This paper will reviewed all the aspects mentioned in the previous .paragraphs. Most the works have done in Taiwan by the PPC.y the PPC.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the creation techniques of artificial wetland, one of biotopes developed to promote biodiversity in urban areas, and to look for improvement steps. Specifically, artificial wetland creation techniques were categorized into living environment and living creature classification. Being living conditions for creations, habitat environment was reviewed with a focus on water and soil environments. Living creatures were classified into plants, insects, fish, and birds. The evaluation of creation techniques was done in post-construction evaluation while considering the creation of habitats for living creatures. Intervention by users, changes in living environment and living species, and relevance of creation techniques were reviewed. Key results of this study are as follows. (1) Water environment for the living environment of creatures provides a suitable environment conditions for the living of creatures through a process easing the use of piped water. Various water depths and embankment appear to have a positive impact on the living of aquatic life. In particular, embankment covered in soil naturally played an important role as a place for the activities of aquatic insects and young fish as well as the growth of aquatic plants. (2) Various aquatic and ground plants to promote insect-diversity, shallow water, and old-tree logs had contributed greatly in increasing the types and number of insects. Aquatic insects. Aquatic insects were seen much particularly in areas where aquatic plants are rich but water is shallow than any other areas. (3) A space piled with stone to provide habitats for fish was not much used. However, it was observed that fish used embankment built with natural stones and embankment using logs in areas where water is deep. In addition, it was confirmed that 1,500 fish that had been released propagated using various depths and places for birth. (4) It was analyzed that techniques (creation of island, log setting, and creation of man-made bird nests) to provide habitats and to attract birds are not serving their roles. In such a case, it is believed that species had not increased due to the smallness as well as isolated features of the area. Based on theoretical review, they are judged to be areas that are likely to be used when a greater variety of birds is introduced. It is judged that attracting and keeping more birds at the site, such spaces need to be linked systematically in the future in terms of building eco-network while ensuring an adequate living areas. (5) In the study areas, users intervened greatly. As a result, a blockage was created preventing the normal growth of plants and non-indigenous plants were introduced. In order to limit the intervention by users, setting enough buffer zones, and environment education programs were urgently required. D/H=1>Hyangkyo> houses on the river>temples>lecture halls. D/H ratio of the backside areas is as follows. D/H=1>Hyangkyo>houses on the river>lecture halls. 4. Inner garden were planted deciduous than evergreen trees with Lagerstroemia indica. Enclosed dominant trees were planted by Pinus densiflora, Querces seuata. construct GEM strain, and examined for the expression and functional stability in microcosms.

The effectiveness of rehabilitation programs for coal mining spoils in Samcheok, Jeongsun, and Mungyung were evaluated based on the physicochemical properties of soil in the rehabilitated areas. These spoils were reclaimed by introducing plants such as black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia), pitch pine (Pinus rigida), birch (Betula platyphylla var. japonica), alder (Alnus hirsuta), bush clover (Lespedeza cyrtobotrya), and grass (Lolium perenne) in planting beds covered with forest soil. In the surface soil, the pH, organic matter, total N, available P, and exchangeable Ca showed significant changes over the years after reclamation. The pH and exchangeable Ca content decreased exponentially over time, whereas organic matter increased linearly and total N and available P increased exponentially. Changes in the physicochemical properties of subsurface soils displayed a different pattern. There were significant changes over time in the organic matter, available P, and exchangeable Ca and Mg contents of the soil. Organic matter increased logarithmically with years since rehabilitation and available P increased exponentially. Meanwhile, exchangeable Ca decreased exponentially, and Mg decreased logarithmically. The changes in the subsurface soil were not as dramatic as those in the surface soil. This result suggests that the ameliorating effects of the establishment and growth of plants more pronounced on the surface soil layer. Stand ordination data showed different relationships with time since rehabilitation in the early and later stages of the rehabilitation process. In the early stages of rehabilitation, stands tended to be arranged in the order of reclamation age. However, in the later stages, there was not a clear relationship between reclamation age and vegetation characteristics. This result suggests that soil amelioration is required for the early stages, after which an autogenic effect becomes more prominent as the vegetation becomes better established.

최근 기후변화로 인해 강우강도와 홍수 발생빈도가 증가하고 있으며 여름철 태풍으로 인한 침수피해의 가능성이 높아지고 있다. 대하천 사업 이후 하천의 홍수터를 활용하여 생태공원이나 체육시설 등과 같은 다양한 친수시설들이 조성되었으나 태풍으로 인한 하천의 홍수위 상승은 이와 같은 친수시설들에 대한 직접적인 침수피해를 야기할 수 있다. 이러한 홍수터 친수시설에 대한 수리학적 영향 분석이나 안정성 평가를 위해서는 수치해석이 선행되어야 하며, 수위의 상승 및 하강에 의해 발생하는 마름/젖음 현상에 대한 처리가 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 마름/젖음 해석이 가능한 Nays2D 모형을 이용하여 마름/젖음이 발생하는 단순 지형에 대한 적용성을 분석하고, 마름이 발생하는 자연하천에 적용하였다. 실제 태풍 사상에 대한 모형의 현장 적용결과를 수위관측소에서 실측된 실측수위와 비교했으며, 그 결과 $R^2$, AME, RMSE 값이 각각 0.988, 0.208, 0.239로 통계적으로 높은 상관관계를 보였다. 또한, 모형의 결과를 이용하여 홍수위험도 지수를 산정하였으며, 연구결과를 통해 홍수터 친수시설 홍수위험도 평가를 실시하였다.

본 연구의 목적은 다각적 수환경지표를 이용하여 영산호의 현재 상태를 평가하고 더 나아가 영산호의 수질 관리 및 생태계 보전에 활용하기 위함이다. 본 연구에서 적용한 정수생태계 건강성 평가 모델은 U.S. EPA(1998)의 정수생태계 평가 기법 (Lake and Reservoir Bioassessment and Biocriteria)에 기초를 두었고, 이 모델을 바탕으로 우리나라 호소의 특성에 맞게 수정 보완한 안과한(2007)의 모델을 따랐다. 또한 영산호의 물리적 서식 환경을 평가하기 위하여 Plafkin et al.(1989)에 의해 개발된 물리적 서식지 평가 모델을 이용하여 호소환경에 맞는 7 메트릭 모델을 적용하였다. 조직별 수은 분석은 수은 직접분석기(DMA-80)를 이용하여 U.S. EPA 7473 method로 측정하였다. 본 연구의 조사 결과, 채집된 어류는 1차 조사에서 7과 22종 389개체, 2차 조사에서 7과 21종 631개체, 3차 조사에서 7과 19종 330개체로 총 30종 1,350개체가 채집되었다. 생물학적 건강성 평가 지수는 평균 19로 악화상태(범위: $14{\sim}26$, n=15)인 것으로 나타났고 지점별 큰 변이는 보이지 않았다. 이는 외래종의 우점, 생태계 교란에 의한 기형어종과 사체의 빈도가 높았기 때문인 것으로 사료되었다. 물리적 서식지 평가 결과에 따르면 영산호의 서식지 건강도는 평균 72로 보통$\sim$양호상태(범위: $48{\sim}99$, n=15)를 보였고, 영산호 하류쪽이 상류에 비하여 물리적 서식지 건강도가 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 일반 수질 항목 측정 결과, 염도는 하구둑에 가까워질수록 증가하는 것으로 나타나 해수의 영향을 반증하였다. 총수은 농도는 조직별, 지점별로 일부 차이를 보였으나, 전반적으로 수은농축의 영향은 미미한 것으로 사료되었다. 영산호의 생태 건강성 향상을 위해 외래종에 의한 교란 억제, 물리적 서식지의 복원 등이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

During the Joseon period, the East Sea would be called 'Gyeonghae' due to a large number of whales. In the Republic of Korea, whaling was locally permitted in 1946. However, the number drastically dropped because the hunting of the marine mammal had already been carried out in Russia, the U.S. and Japan since 1800s. Before a moratorium on commercial whaling was introduced by the International Whaling Commission(IWC) in 1986, whale populations in the East Sea had plunged. Furthermore, Korean gray whales and fin whales weren't found anymore in that area. With the suspension, whale hunting was banned in Korea as well. Even so, accidentally caught whales have been allowed to be distributed on the market with respect for local food culture. With the establishment of Whale Museum and hosting of the 57th Annual Meeting of the International Whaling Commission(IWC) at Jangsaengpo in 2005, whale tourism was facilitated in earnest. This whale tourism has been operated by Nam-gu Office and Nam-gu City Management Corporation in Ulsan. However, the popularity of whale tourism has increased a demand for whale meat. At the same time, there has been concern over decrease in whale populations because of illegal whaling. In addition, a conflict between the use and protection of whales has caused confusion in tourism identity. Actually, there is a serious doubt on the sustainability of whale tourism due to the decade-long deficit and excessive investments. This study attempts to define a concept of whale tourism and propose a future direction for the sustainable growth and development of Korea's whale tourism industry after developing such comprehensive assessment indicators as a basic research for the introduction of sustainable whale tourism. To achieve the aim of this study, AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) was chosen as a main research tool and the factors were ranked by a comprehensive analysis of principal factors and detail factors. The current study showed the following results. First, ecological environment(0.430) was indicated the most important factor of whale tourism assessment indicators. Moreover, Population(0.1302), Action for Cetacean protection(0.1031), Governance(0.0898) were critical factors. On the other hand, Accommodations(0.0085), Whale meat(0.0088) were unimportant factors than others.
