Urban development and population have augmented the increase of impervious land-cover. This phenomenon has amplified the effects of climate change and increasing urban island effects due to increases in urban temperatures. Seoul, South Korea is one of the largest metropolitan cities in the world. While land uses in Seoul vary, land cover patterns have not changed much (under 2%) in the past 10 years, making the city a prime target for studying the effects of land cover types on the urban temperature. This research seeks to generalize the urban temperature of Seoul through a series of statistical tests using multi-temporal remote sensing data focusing on multiple scales and typologies of green space to determine its overall effectiveness in reducing the urban heat. The distribution of LST values was reduced as the size of urban forests increased. It means that changing temperature of large-scale green-spaces is less influenced because the broad distribution could be resulted in various external variables such as slope aspect, topographic height and density of planting areas, while small-scale urban forests are more affected from that. The large-scale green spaces contributed significantly to lowering urban temperature by showing a similar mean LST value. Both of concentration and dispersal of urban forests affected the reduction of urban temperature. Therefore, the findings of this research support that creating urban forests in an urban region could reduce urban temperature regardless of the scale.

The purpose of this study is to address the progress of the heat island phenomenon and the scheme to decrease in heat island phenomenon through analysis of micro-climates according to land use and make a plan to construct wind ways. The result is: 1) Analysis of temperature and humidity at 6 spots for 24 hours showed that heat island phenomenon was considerably intense around center road of Gwangju and can be mild through making lakes and green zones. 2) Analysis of the direction and velocity of the wind at 2 spots for 24 hours showed that the direction of the wind at the center of Gwangju was SSW(South-South-West) and average velocity of the it was $1.2{\sim}1.5\;m/s$. To make the inflow of the low-temperature air current from Mt. Mudeung into the city through Gwangju river, efficient management of Gwangju riverside parks should be considered for Gwangju river itself to be wind way. 3) Analysis of mobile temperature measurement on 3 courses for 24 hours showed that the low-temperature air current of Mt. Mudeung and a micro-climate of Gwangju river can lighten thermal storage phenomena of the city in that the temperature was lowest at Gwangju riverside. These outcome is from a day term measurement. So, to figure out accurate condition of heat island phenomenon in Gwangju City, it is needed to have long term measurements and accumulation of those information.

As a series of basic research to draw the pilot design measures for developing the habitat apparatus of Sulculus diversicolor supertexta inhabiting the coastal area of Jeju island, this study conducted a water tank experiment to understand the habitat marine environment of Sulculus diversicolor supertexta and the preference of habitat space focusing on the research fisheries performing the discharge of marine products. In the composition degree of marine algae in both fisheries, Donggwi-ri showed the highest gulfweed (79.3%) as brown algae and there were some coralline algae (17.2%) as red algae. Hansu-ri yielded the highest gulfweed (48.1%) as brown algae, which was followed by sea lettuce (10.4%) as green algae. In the preference of habitat space, the shelter angles 40° showed the highest adhesion as number of 82.9, which was followed by 60° and 70° as 69.2 and 68.2 respectively (P<0.05) by reviewing the environmental characteristics of habit of Salculus diversicolor supertexta in the coastal fishery of Jeju Island, when considering the adhesion rate in each of five shelters with different angles. In the future, there should be continuous research and monitoring for designing the fish shelters suitable for the coastal fisheries of Jeju island, and it would be also necessary to add the field-centered sustainable concrete research.

Urban atmospheric conditions are usually settled as warmer, drier and dirtier than those of rural counterpart owing to reduction of green space and water space area heat retention in surfaces such as concrete and asphalt, and abundant fuel consumption. The characteristics of urban climate has become generally known as urban heat island. The purpose of this study is to investigate the temporal and spatial distribution of the heat emission from human activity, which is a main factor causing urban heat island. In this study, the anthropogenic heat fluxes emitted from vehicles and constructions are estimated by computational grid mesh which is divided by 1km $\times$ 1km. The anthropogenic heat flux by grid mesh can be applied to a numerical simulation model of the local circulation model. The constructions are classified into 9 energy-consumption types - hospital, hotel, office, department store, commercial store, school, factory, detached house and flat. The vehicles classified into 4 energy-consumption types - car, taxi, truck and bus. The seasonal mean of anthropogenic heat flux around central Daegu exceeded $50 W/m^2$ in winter. The annual mean anthropogenic heat flux exceeded $20 W/m^2$. The values are nearly equivalent to the anthropogenic heat flux in the suburbs of Tokyo, Japan.

The purpose of this paper is to present the environment change of Cheju Island as land development process using GSIS(Geo-Spatial Information System) technique. We implemented the process based on the maps of soil color, underground water pollution points, land use, land development planning and land sight seeing supported by Cheju Province Office. To use the maps for GSIS data, first we transformed the picture data of the office into raster structured picture data using scanner. Second, the coordinate system was added to raster data using 1/50000 geographic map. Third, we estimated land planning process using GSIS technique(overlay and reclass technique). The results showed that land development effected the natural environment(forest, green field, farm land). However, the chemical pollution and land sight seeing was not so much effected by the land development that was found.

신작물로 주목을 받고있는 괴경 형성 콩과식물인 아피오스(Apios americana Medikus)를 국내에 도입하여 특산작물로 개발하기 위하여 제주지역에서 2000년과 2001년도에 생육특성 조사와 재배 가능성을 검토하였다. 시험 재배한 두 계통(red-vine, green-vine) 모두 꼬투리 또는 종실은 형성하지 않고 지하부에 지하경이 비대하여 염주상의 지하 괴경을 형성하였으나 10a 당 수량은 $500\~800kg$ 사이였다. 계통별로는 red-vine이 green-vine보다 수량성이 높았는데, 주로 포기당 괴경수가 높은 것에 기인하였다. 파종시기별로는 4월 16일 파종시가 4월 1일 및 5월 1일 파종시보다 수량성이 높았다. 또한 지주재배가 무지주 재배보다 수량성이 높았다. 1년생의 경우도 $20\~80\;g$의 큰 괴경을 형성하는 주가 있어, 앞으로 특산작물화를 위해서는 다양한 용도개발과 아울러 우량 계통의 선발과 품종화가 중요할 것으로 판단되었다.

기후변화로 인해서 전 세계적으로 온도가 상승하고 있다. 도시를 중심으로 급속한 성장을 이룬 우리나라는 도심지역에 대해서 열섬현상, 대기 오염 등 환경문제가 심각하게 발생하고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해서 중앙정부와 지방자치단체들은 도시 숲, 공원 조성 등의 나무심기운동을 활발하게 추진하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 나무심기운동에 따른 도심지역의 녹지 증가와 식생의 생장 상태를 정량적으로 산정하였고 이에 따른 도심지역의 지표면 온도 변화를 분석하였다. 구미지역에 대해서 Landsat 영상을 이용하여 나무심기운동이 진행되기 전, 실행된 직후, 사업이 중간 정도 진행된 시점, 최종적으로 완료된 시점에 대해서 녹지면적과 식생지수, 지표면 온도를 산정하였다. 연구 결과, 두 지역에 대해서 녹지면적이 각각 7.24km², 4.93km² 증가하였고 식생지수는 0.14~0.16 증가하였으며, 지표면 온도는 0.8~1.2℃ 감소하였다. 나무심기운동은 도시의 지표면 온도를 낮추는 역할뿐만 아니라 공기 정화, 탄소 흡수, 녹색 휴식 공간 제공 등 다양한 역할을 수행하기 때문에 지속적으로 진행되어야 한다.
