We described the above-ground plant species composition and measured a range of soil physico-chemical properties and the composition and size of the soil seed bank in the remnant natural vegetations on the flood plains of the Han River within Seoul, South Korea. We used analysis of variance and multivariate analyses to analyse the data and S${\o}$rensen's similarity index to compare the composition of the vegetation and seed banks. The soils were circum-neutral and composed of mainly sand and silt fractions with a very limited clay component; a gradient based on sand/clay proportions was identified. The soil seed banks varied markedly between- and within-sites and had much greater species diversity than the above-ground vegetation. Two of the major dominants in the vegetation (Miscanthus saccariflorus and Phragmites australis) were found at very low densities in the seed bank. The site differences appeared to be correlated with the sand-clay gradient, suggesting that the soil properties differentially affected seed inputs into the soil, or that the processes than controlled sediment deposition during floods was also important in differentially affecting seed deposition. Lastly, there was relatively little similarity between the vegetation, dominated mainly by perennials, and the seed bank which contained a relatively large proportion of annuals and biennials. This result suggests that after disturbance caused by flooding there is the potential for many other species to colonize. This may impinge on the regeneration potential of the sites and cause concern for the future conservation of these important remnants of natural vegetation.

하천은 크게 하도와 홍수터 그리고 제방으로 나눌 수 있으며, 국내에서는 다른 국가들과 다르게 대하천사업 이후 하천의 홍수터에 생태공원이나 체육시설 등과 같은 다양한 친수시설들을 조성하여 활용하고 있다. 하지만 최근 이상기후로 인해 홍수의 발생빈도 및 강도가 증가하고 있으며 여름철 집중호우에 의한 하천의 홍수위 상승은 이러한 친수시설의 침식과 퇴적 등과 같은 침수피해를 가중시키는 원인이 되기도 한다(Ku et al., 2013). 따라서 이와 같은 홍수피해를 예측하기 위해서는 홍수터를 포함한 복단면에서의 수치해석이 선행되어야 하며, 일반적으로 2차원 수치해석이 바람직한 것으로 제안되고 있다(Sato et al., 1989). 또한 하천에서의 2차원 수치해석 결과를 이용하여 침식과 퇴적에 관한 친수시설 안정성 평가 지수를 산정할 수 있으며, 산정된 지수를 통해 홍수터에서의 홍수피해를 예측할 수 있다. 다른 국가에서는 국내와 다르게 홍수터에 대한 활용이 거의 없기 때문에 홍수에 따른 홍수터에서의 위험도를 평가한 연구는 거의 없는 실정이며, 한국에서도 홍수터에서의 홍수위험도 평가에 대한 연구는 Song et al.(2016)이 다른 국가에서 활용하고 있는 제내지에서의 홍수위험도 평가 지수를 홍수터에 도입하여 실제 태풍에 의한 홍수위험도를 간접적으로 평가한 연구 정도가 대부분이라고 볼 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Einstein-Krone 공식(1962)을 이용하여 침식과 퇴적을 동시에 고려할 수 있는 Transient Erosion and Deposition Index(TEDI)와 Steady Erosion and Deposition Index(SEDI)를 개발하였다. 또한 개발된 지수를 실제 자연하천에 적용하여 태풍 사상에서의 산정된 지수를 통해 홍수터 안정성을 평가하였다.

The catch canal for a natural drainage, the excavation of tunnel for a stable irrigation, the artifical channelization of yazoo stream, many kinds of the pumping and drainage systems are found around Daedong-myeon, Gimhae-si. It could be confirmed that the deveolpment, maintenance and management of those facilities in the floodplain are mainly controlled by the geomorphological conditions. In case of Unha-chon, especially, the water can always be supplied only by openning the gate of irrigation tunnel and the Woldang pumping station as the largest pumping station in this area can supply water to Unha-chon area directly from the main river, Nakdong-gang. Because the Gamnae-chon which was an upper reach of the Unha-chon and is now connected to the Nakdong-gang through the Deoksan catch canal, the damage of flood and the burden of drainage are mitigated at the lower area of the Unha-chon.

This study investigated compound open channel flow using OpenFOAM Large Eddy Simulation (LES). Large eddy simulations were carried out by solving the filtered continuity and momentum equations numerically. One equation LES and non-uniform grid were applied to capture the anisotropic turbulence and secondary flow near the wall. The results of large eddy simulations of turbulent flow in a compound open channel with deep and shallow flood plain depths are presented. These LESs are validated with experimental data, resulting in a good agreement between measured and calculated data. The role of anisotropic turbulence in generating secondary currents is illustrated.

Heavy metal contamination of soil and water from industrial sources remains a worldwide environmental concern. Concentrations of toxic metals were measured in soil from banks of the Han and Anyang rivers. Pre-monsoon samples contained the highest heavy metal concentrations (Cu > As > Pb > Cd > $Cr^{6+}$; up to 57.80, 38.23, 25.43, 2.21, 0.32 mg/kg, respectively), but concentrations decreased at all sites during the monsoon and post-monsoon seasons. Higher heavy metal concentrations in pre-monsoon samples may be attributed to dust pollution, especially from roads near the river. A gradual reduction in heavy metal concentrations during the rainy season may be due to washing out. The high concentration of metals could cause health problems, especially in residential areas.

In recent years owing to extensive land reclamation, increased river engineering activites and morer intense flood plain use, river geomorphology has attracted considerable attention. One of outstanding problems has been maintenance of river meanders and nearly all natural river exhibit the tendency to meander. Often the meander geometry was fitted in to various idealized model. COnsequently, both the selection of data and the methods to determine the geometric parameters were highly subject to individual preferences. This study applied statistical analysis in tipifying their shape and analysised meander characteristics by channel model of line generalization algorithm. This method is applied to Geum river system. The results show that the variance of curvature is a better index to describe the meander intensity and the kurtosis is a good index to characterize the total length of the straight sections for a given reach. The results also show that channel model of line generalization algorithm is a good model in analysis of meander characterisitics.

The purpose of this research is to develop a decision-making model for the calculation of the National Disaster Management System's standard prevention workforce quota. The final purpose of such model is to support in arranging a rationally sized prevention workforce for local authorities by providing information about its calculation in order to support an effective and efficient disaster management administration. In other words, it is to establish and develop a model that calculates the standard disaster prevention workforce quota for basic local governments in order to arrange realistically required prevention workforce. In calculating Korea's prevention workforce, it was found that the prevention investment expenses, number of prevention facilities, frequency of flood damage, number of disaster victims, prevention density, and national disaster recovery costs have positive influence on the dependent variable when the standard prevention workforce was set as the dependent variable. The model based on the regression analysis-which consists of dependent and independent variables-was classified into inland mountainous region, East coast region, Southwest coastal plain region to reflect regional characteristics for the calculation of the prevention workforce. We anticipate that the decision-making model for the standard prevention workforce quota will aid in arranging an objective and essential prevention workforce for Korea's basic local authorities.

In recent years, an increment of river engineering activities and more intensive use of flood plain, the river geomorphology has attracted considerable attention owing to an extensive land reclamation. One of the important problems is the maintenance of river meanders and almost all natural rivers exhibit the tendency to be a meander. A statistical analysis is applied to typifying their shapes and the meander characteristics are analyzed by channel model of line generalization algorithm in this study. This method is applied to Han River System. The results show that the variance of curvature is a better index to describe the meander intensity and the kurtosis is a good index to characterize the total lengh of the straight sections for a given reach. The channel model of line generalization algorithm gives good results in analysis of meander characteristics.

Leaf blotch of wheat caused by Bipolaris sorokiniana is a major constraint to wheat production, causing significant yield reduction resulting in severe economic impact. The present study characterizes to determine and compare pathogenic variability exist/not based on components of leaf blotch disease development and level of aggressiveness due to agroclimatic condition of B. sorokiniana in wheat. A total of 169 virulent isolates of B. sorokiniana isolated from spot blotch infected leaf from different wheat growing agroclimate of Bangladesh. Pathogenic variability was investigated on a susceptible wheat variety 'kanchan' now in Bangladesh. A clear evidence of positive relationship among the components was recorded. From hierarchical cluster analysis five groups were originating among the isolates. It resolved that a large amount of pathogenic diversity exists in Bipolaris sorokiniana. Variation in aggressiveness was found among the isolates from different wheat growing areas. Most virulent isolates BS 24 and BS 33 belonging to High Ganges River Flood Plain agro-climatic zones considered by rice-wheat cropping pattern, hot and humid weather, high land and low organic matter content in soil. Positive relationship was found between pathogenic variability and aggressiveness with agro-climatic condition.

하천 설계를 위한 다양한 수치모의 프로그램을 활용하여 홍수위, 침수심, 침수면적 등을 검토 분석하여 실시설계에 반영하고 사업을 추진하고 있으나, 실제 호우사상과 수치모의 모형에 대한 결과 분석은 매우 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 경기도 양평군 흑천 하류부를 대상으로 2006년 7월 집중호우 시 침수흔적도 및 HEC-GeoRAS에 의한 침수영향 비교 검토와 함께 하천 흐름의 주요 영향계수인 조도계수를 다양화하여 침수변화 양상 등에 대해 분석하였다. 모의 결과 흑천 하류부에 대한 침수영향은 침수흔적도와 서로 상이한 결과를 나타내고, 조도계수의 증가에 따라 침수면적은 증가 양상을 보이고 있다. 상기 결과를 볼 때 침수흔적도와 HEC-GeoRAS의 침수구역 비교 검토시에서는 피해당시의 하천환경에 대한 조사 및 피해원인에 대해 정밀 검토후 다양한 사례 연구 후 적용이 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 또한 침수모의 분석이 가능한 다양한 프로그램을 적용하여 향후 실제 침수흔적을 잘 반영할 수 있는 프로그램 개발과 적용시 착안 사항 등에 대한 검토도 병행할 필요가 있는 것으로 판단된다.
