  • As disaster risk and climate change volatility increase, there are more efforts to adapt to disasters such as forest fires, floods, and landslides. Most of the research, however, is about influence of human activities on disaster and there is few research on disaster adaptation for species. Previous studies focusing on biodiversity in selecting conservation areas have not addressed threats of disaster in the habitats for species. The natural disasters sometimes play role of drivers of ecological successions in the long run, but they might cause serious problems for the conservation of vulnerable species which are endangered. The purpose of this study is to determine whether soil loss (SL) is effective in selecting habitat management areas for amphibians and reptiles. RUSLE model was used to calculate soil loss (SL) and the distribution of each species (SD) was computed with MaxEnt model to find out the biodiversity index. In order to select the habitat management area, we estimated the different results depending if value of soil loss was applied or not by using MARXAN, a conservation priority selection tool. With using MARXAN, conservation goals can be achieved according to the scenario objectives, and the study has been made to meet the minimum habitat area. Finally, the results are expressed in two; 1) the result of soil loss and biodiversity with MATRIX method and 2) the result of regional difference calculated with MARXAN conservation prioritization considering soil loss. The first result indicates that the area with high soil loss and low species diversity have lower conservation values and thus can be managed as natural disturbances. In the area where soil loss is high and species diversity is also high, it becomes where a disaster mitigation action should be taken for the species. According to the conservation priorities of the second result, higher effectiveness of conservation was obtained with fewer area when it considered SL in addition to SD, compared to when considered only biodiversity. When the SL was not taken into consideration, forest area with high distribution of species were important, but when SL considered, the agricultural area or downstream of the river were represented to be a major part of habitats. If more species data or disaster parameters other than soil loss are added as variables later, it could contribute as a reference material for decision-making to achieve various purposes.

  • Recently check dam construction number have been increased by becoming known that effectiveness in the control of the landslide and debris flow. However, check dam management standards are not setting yet. Therefore, this study was carried by provide a basic data for the check dam management and inspection in the Gangwondo. The followings are the results of safety inspection on the 274 check dams, which are located in mountain streams, Gangwondo, Republic of Korea. 1. It was determined that, of 274 check dams inspected, 267 check dams (97.4%) generally had a safe condition but 7 check dams (2.6%) had a bad condition that repair and/or complementary measures are required. 2. The check dams with a bad condition had the ages greater than approximately 20 years. This result should be reflected to future stream management strategy including a timing of the specific inspection for durability of check dams. 3. Our finding suggests that the safety inspection of check dams is able to provide basic information required to maintain their own functions, and thus it should be widely applied to stream management strategy against to sediment-related disasters in the future.

  • This study applied a real-time IoT (Internet of Things) environmental monitoring system to wooden cultural heritages (WCHs) located in suburbs and forests in Korea. It automated the graphs of seasonal Temperature (T) and relative humidity (RH) changes inside the heritage structures and seasonal Performance Index (PI) values. While utilizing line graphs of the existing T and RH change trends and a bar graph expressing the PI values, this study examined the current status of the conservation environment inside the WCHs throughout the year and its diagnosis. Consequently, at higher latitudes, the organic cultural heritage repeatedly experienced large T fluctuations, and the risk of physical and chemical degradation of the materials was greater. However, the RH showed significant seasonal differences, even within the same latitude, indicating that the impact of latitude was not significant. Therefore, the staff in charge must manage RH by considering the surrounding environmental conditions and adjusting the internal environment of the structures. The PI values for the year-round T and RH inside the heritages were confirmed to only be a maximum of approximately 60% of the environmental suitability for conservation throughout the year, depending on the season. The relationship between the germination and growth potential period of xerophilic fungi and the monthly internal temperature and humidity in five heritages located at different latitudes was analyzed. As a result, we could thus determine that four particular months of the year (June-September) represent the periods with the highest risk of damage from xerophilic fungi in the country, regardless of latitude.

  • 환경정책기본법에 근거하여 수립되는 환경보전계획은 친환경적인 공간구축을 위한 활용 가능성과 잠재성에도 불구하고 선언적이면서 형식적인 계획으로 사실상 인지되고 있다. 이러한 인식의 중요한 요인 중의 하나는 공간개발과 직접적인 관련성이 있는 공간계획(도시기본계획 등)이나 도시개발계획과의 연계성을 확보하지 못한 것에 기인하며, 이는 공간환경계획이라는 계획 간의 연계수단의 필요성으로 종결된다. 이에 환경보전계획의 활용성과 계획 간의 연계성 확보를 위한 공간환경계획의 수립을 위해 선행되어야 할 공간환경정보의 체계화를 제안하고자 하며, 이를 위해 기존의 환경정보를 파악하고 공간환경계획과의 연계방안에 대해서 살펴보고자 하였다. 이와 관련해서 국가차원 및 지자체 차원에서 구축하고 있는 공간정보시스템을 살펴보고, 환경매체별로 활용 가능한 공간정보를 분류하였다. 또한 9개의 환경매체별로 공간환경계획에 포함될 수 있는 공간정보 및 계획 항목을 도출하여, 기존의 공간정보시스템, 공간환경 현황정보, 공간환경 관리계획으로 이어지는 연계체계를 구축하였다. 나아가, 공간환경계획 활성화를 위해 공간환경정보 구축에 관한 개선사항을 제안하였다. 체계적인 공간정보 구축은 공간환경계획 수립을 용이하게 함으로써 환경보전계획을 강화하고 위상을 높임은 물론, 관련 공간계획과의 연계성 강화에도 기여할 것이다.

  • 관광단지 개발사업은 자연환경이 양호하고 경관이 우수한 지역을 대상으로 추진됨에 따라 주변 지역에 대한 환경부하를 지나치게 가중하는 점이 문제로 제시된 바 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 2012년~2021년간 이루어진 국내 관광단지 개발사업의 환경영향평가 결과를 토대로 동 사업으로 야기되는 환경영향을 파악하였다. 특히 다양한 환경영향을 종합적·정량적으로 분석하고자 선행연구를 통해 마련된 EA-INDEX를 관광단지의 사업 특성에 적합하게 신규 도출하였으며, 이를 통해 관광단지 개발사업의 환경영향을 크게 자연환경 보전, 자원 보존, 생활환경 보호 부문으로 구분하여 각 세부 지표별로 살펴보았다. 그 결과 지난 10년간 국내 관광단지 개발사업은 친환경성이 증가하는 방향으로 추진·개발된 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 자연환경 보전 부문에서 그 증가 추세가 뚜렷함이 확인되었다. 반면 자원 보존 부문의 경우 친환경성이 감소하는 것으로 확인되었으므로 추후 신규 개발계획 수립 시 이를 제고할 수 있는 노력하는 것이 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구는 비교적 장기간에 걸친 관광단지 개발사업에 대한 환경적 영향을 파악하고, 특히 개발사업의 친환경성에 대해 각 세부 부문별 영향을 정량적으로 분석한 것에 의의가 있는 것으로 판단된다. 추후 개발사업과 관련한 정책 이벤트, 연관 사회적 이슈 등의 정보를 종합한 분석이 이뤄진다면, EA-INDEX를 활용한 개발사업의 경향 파악에 더욱 폭넓은 해설이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

  • As Our society's environmental awareness and concern the significant increases, the importance of the legal system for environmental conservation such as the Prior Environmental Review System, Environmental Impact Assessment is growing increasingly. but, still critical issues are present such as reliability. Though there could be various causes such as the system or procedures etc. Above all, basically the environmental data problem is the critical cause. Therefore, this study was trying to improve the environmental data accuracy using the high-resolution color aerial photography, LiDAR data and Object Oriented Classification method. And in this study, classification based on coverage percentage of a particular species was attempted through the multi-resolution segmentation and multi-level classification method. The classification result was verified by comparison with 11 points local survey data. All 11 points were classified correctly. And even though the exact coverage percentage of the particular species did not be measured, It was confirmed that the species was occupied similar portion. It is important that the environmental data which can be used for the conservation value assessment could be acquired.

  • A diagnostic investigation of the conservation state of damaged murals of the Payathonzu temple mainly indicated delamination, exfoliation, and contamination of the coloring layer; cracks and damage to the wall; and separation from gaps. In particular, vulnerabilities resulting from cracks in the wall and damage from gaps demand swift reinforcement measures. Ultrasonic testing uncovered damage caused by gaps between the base layer and plastered wall in several areas of the mural, vulnerable parts in the wall around the cracks, and considerable degradation of the physical properties where cracks and gaps were severe. Moisture measurements identified vast disparities in moisture depending on location even within a single area of the mural, and it was clear that these disparities were the result of environmental conditions such as humidity. Damage to the murals in monument 477 was the most severe, and a diagnostic of the physical properties uncovered severe physical damage to the upper part of the mural as well as to the corridor ceiling, thus presenting the need for conservation treatment utilizing scientific diagnosis as well as objective data.
