Developable areas nearby metropolitan areas, which has high the density of population are limited by highly industrialized. In recent, the redeveloping plans for the finished industrial and resident areas are pushing to resolve this problems. Getting to the exact properties for reclaimed wastes is very important to reuse of landfill. Also, a strategy for how to deal with follow-up measures have to based on the waste characteristics. A lot of environmental problems have been happened in finished waste landfill such as a nasty smell by seepage, pollution of surface and ground water, a poisonous gas and soil contamination. The environment pollution in waste landfill have been studied by many researchers. The goal of this study is estimate the effects for the ground properties with the environmental properties of waste in finished landfill. As the results, the chemical characteristics of seepage in landfill may effect directly or indirectly to capping layer. Therefore, sustainable researches are needed to develop a secure landfill over the long term.

According to the policy of coal industry promotion, a lot of mines were abandoned. As the abandoned mines were neglected, environmental pollution such as settlement of ground, ground-water run-off, landscape damage etc were accompanied around abandoned mines. The government was promoting countermeasures of environmental contamination but most of the Countermeasures were aimed at protecting the ecological system not infrastructure. For this reason, abandoned mines impact on infrastructure has been relatively neglected. Most mines are located in mountainous so there is a tunnel among typical infrastructure around abandoned mines. In this paper, the effect of Mine drainage, Typical pollution source of abandoned mine, was introduced into the using tunnel focusing on the types and examples.

To evaluate the value of a preserved tree as rural landscape resource, the growth environment and health condition was investigated, and the image evaluation was implemented on land~ape architectural major undergraduate students for zelkova trees in Yesan-gun. The image evaluation results of zelkova trees were as followings; 1) Typical image of preserved tree examined by Semantic Differential Scale were 'Old', 'Big', and 'Good'. 2) The 'big' image of zelkova tree and the height of tree, the width of tree crown, the breast girth of tree, the root girth of tree, the external formation of tree, and the health of tree bark is mutually related. Especially, the correlation between the 'big' and the external formation and the width of tree crown is high. 3) Typical image of preserved tree examined by Likert Scale were 'Natural', 'Green', 'Peaceful', and 'Rural'. 4) The preservation necessity for preserved tree was highly related with the state of ground, and the management necessity for preserved tree was highly related with contamination level and the state of ground. The appropriate management plan for preserved tree are proposed to improve the quality of rural landscape(basis of these results).

This study assesses groundwater vulnerability to contaminants in industrial and residential/commercial areas of the city of Changwon, using DRASTIC technique and groundwater data. The DRASTIC technique was originally applied to situations in which the contamination sources are at the ground surface, and the contaminants flow into the groundwater with infiltration of rainfall. Mostly the industrial area has higher DRASTIC indices than the residential/commercial area. However, a part of the residential/commercial area having much groundwater production and great drawdown is more contaminated in groundwater than other industrial and the residential/commercial areas even if it has lowest DRASTIC indices in the study area. It indicates that groundwater contamination in urban areas can be closely related to excessive pumping resulting in a lowering of the water level. The correlation coefficient between minimum DRASTIC indices and the degree of poor water quality for 10 districts is as low as 0.40. On the other hand, the correlation coefficients between minimum DRASTIC indices and the groundwater discharge rate, and between minimum DRASTIC indices and well distribution density per unit area are 0.70 and 0.87, respectively. Thus, to evaluate the potential of groundwater contamination in urban areas, it is necessary to consider other human-made factors such as groundwater withdrawal rate and well distribution density per unit area as well as the existing seven DRASTIC factors.

We have applied the geophysical survey, mainly electric and electromagnetic (EM) methods, to a test site contaminated by hydrocarbon waste disposal and local spill. The multi-frequency, moving source & receiver EM survey along with ground penetrating radar (GPR) showed a fairly good performance in detection of buried metal pipes and objects. Magnetic survey measuring vertical and horizontal gradients were so sensitive to the small metallic objects spread over the surface that it's hard to discriminate the buried pipe. We chose electrical resistivity, EM and GPR survey to examine the soil contamination. Depth slices of resistivity distribution as the results of the inversion of resistivity and EM data coincided each other and closely matched the contaminated area determined by chemical analysis of the soil samples. GPR images did not show the reflection events related with contamination plume since there are no distinct spill in this site. We inferred the contamination using the penetration depth of the GPR energy, which could be used as auxiliary information to the resistivity and EM results. We summarized the applicability of each survey methods based on this results and proposed a desirable survey scheme for the determination of hydrocarbon contaminated site.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the contamination rates of Keratinophilic fungi in soils In Chonju. From september to November 1986, 98 soil samples were collected at the school and children's play ground, dog barn, pig barn, cow barn, horse barn and fowl barn( total 33 sites ). The samples were collected at the different depths(0～2cm, 30cm, 50cm ) in each of the sites, respectively. Each sample was cultured at 25$^{\circ}C$ according to Modified hair baiting method by using horse mane hair as a bait. The results obtained were summerized as follows ; 1. Eighty one of the 98 soil samples were found to be positive for Keratinophilic fungi. 2. In the examination of keratinophilic fungi in 98 soil samples, the organisms isolated weie as follows; Microsporum gypseum 20, Trichophyton ajelloi 15, Chrysosporium tropicum 40, C. Keratinophilum 24, C. tuberculatum 6 and Chrysosporium spp. like organism 4 strains. 3. The positive rates of keratinophilic fungi in each of the depths were 87.9%(29/33) in surface layer, 90.9%(30/33) in middle layer and 68.8％(22/32) in deep layer. 4. The positive rates of Keratinophilic fungi in each of the sites were 100%(3/3) in horse barn 91.7％ (l1/12) in dog barn, 88.9%(16/18) in pig barn, 86.7%(13/15) in cow barn, 76.2%(16/21) in fowl barn and 75.9%(22/29) in school and children's play ground. 5.

This study is objected to identify the relations between surface- and shallow ground-water and the seasonal variation of their qualities in watersheds near Muju area. The water type shows mainly Ca-$HCO_3$type. Heavy-metal contamination of surface water is locally detected, due to the mixing with mine drainage. In October nitrate concentration is especially high in densely populated area. Cluster Analysis and Principal Component Analysis are implemented to interpret the complexity of the chemical variation of surface- and ground-water with large amount of chemical data. Based on the cluster analysis, surface-water was divided into five groups and ground-water into three groups. Principal Component Analysis efficiently supports the result of cluster analysis, allowing the identification of three main factors controlling the water quality. There are (1) hydrogeochemical factor, (2) anthropogenic factor and (3) heavy metal contaminated by mine drainage.

Consistent observation with high temporal and spatial resolution is required for an efficient monitoring of coastal environments. Remote monitoring system installed on the ground is capable of simultaneous observation of wide coastal area and consistent observation with high frequency, which a small number of in-situ measurements cannot manage. This paper studies two typical ground based coastal monitoring system, marine radar and camera system. Marine radar can produce time series of frequency spectrum by integrating wave number spectrum calculated from spatial and temporal variation of waves in the radar image. The time averaged radar images of waves can analyze wave breaking zone, rip currents and location of littoral bars. Camera system can observe temporal variation of foam generation originated from coastal contamination as well as shoreline changes. By extracting the part of foams from rectified images, quantitative analysis of temporal foam variation can be done. By using the two above systems of different characteristics, synergetic benefit can be achieved.

For mapping the distribution of heavy metals in the mining area, field spectroscopy and hyperspectral remote sensing were used in this study. Although heavy metals are spectrally featureless from the visible to the short wave infrared range, possible variations in spectral signal due to heavy metals bound onto minerals can be explained with the metal binding reaction onto the mineral surface. Variations in the spectral absorption shapes of lattice OH and oxygen on the mineral surface due to the combination of heavy metals were surveyed over the range from 420 to 2400 nm. Spectral parameters such as peak ratio and peak area were derived and statistically linked to metal concentration levels in the streambed samples collected from the dry stream channels. The spatial relationships between spectral parameters and concentrations of heavy metals were yielded as well. Based on the observation at a ground level for the relationship between spectral signal and metal concentration levels, the spectral parameters were classified in a hyperspectral image and the spatial distribution patterns of classified pixels were compared with the product of analysis at the ground level. The degree of similarity between ground dataset and image dataset was statistically validated. These techniques are expected to support assessment of dispersion of heavy metal contamination and decision on optimal sampling point.

Designing the bridge with wider span is the present-day trends. Therefore, constructing the foundation on the suitable ground is one of the important factor for the safety of bridge. But, getting a subsurface information under the river is not easy problem. This paper shows results of electrical resistivity survey at the river. Electrical resistivity survey have revealed geoelectrical structure successfully. The result is well matched with boring and can provide useful information on the geological structure such as fault fracture zone for suitable location of foundation. It is expected that application of electrical resistivity survey at the river will be helpful in preventing modification of design due to unexpected ground condition during the construction, or water contamination and increment of costs accompanied with ground reinforcement.
