  • The purpose of this study is to propose an evaluation method to assess green environments of streetscapes to improve urban street green spaces in Jeonju City. Through a rapid assessment of urban street green spaces, we suggest an objective basis for expanding street green space as well as for adopting sustainable maintenance and improvement measures. We choose 12 sections of streetscapes (roads and sidewalks) to investigate existing street conditions which have more than four lanes and function as major road axes. Six large roads and six medium roads of Jeonju City center area are investigated as pilot assessment study sites. Site inventory checklists consist of environmental characteristics of streetscape, street tree status, and planting condition evaluation. Environmental characteristics of streetscapes are composed of physical and neighborhood factors. For instance, items for physical factors are types and width of road/sidewalks, paving materials, tree protection materials, and green strip. And surrounding landuse is a neighborhood factor. Assessment items for street tree status are street plant names (tree/shrubs/ground cover), size, and planting intervals. Planting condition evaluation items are tree shape, damage, canopy density, and planting types with existence of adjacent green space. Evaluation results are classified into three levels such as A(maintain or repair), B(greening enhancement), and C(structural improvement). In case of grade A, streetscapes have enough sidewalk width for maintaining green strip and a multi-layered planting(in large road only) with fairly good growing conditions of street trees. For grade B and C, streetscapes have a moderate level of sidewalk width with a single street tree planting. In addition, street tree growing conditions are appeared poor so that green enhancement or maintenance measures are needed. For median, only grade B and C are found as its planting growing foundations are very limited in space. As a result, acquiring enough sidewalk space is essential to enhance ecological quality of urban street green. Especially, it is necessary to have green strip with reasonable widths for plant growing conditions in sidewalks. In addition, we need to consider native species with multi-layer plant compositions while designing street green.

  • The Under Space Integrated Map has been constructed consistently from '15 construction projects until the present time in an effort to implement the "ground sinking prevention method" for the purpose of strengthening underground safety management. The constructed Under Space Integrated Map is utilized to provide information to the person in charge at local government through application of the system of underground information based on the administrative network and to deliver this to specialized underground-safety-effects -evaluation organizations through map extraction based on a floor plan. It suffers from a limitation in its practical use, however, since information is only provided, without promoting a separate renewal project. Although in Section 1 of Article 42 in the Special Law Concerning Underground Safety Management the content pertaining to submission obligations of completion drawings related to underground information including change and renewal are stated explicitly in order to solve this problem, submission is not sufficient since a submission window based only on the administrative network is operated. Accordingly, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport constructed an online system for submitting completion drawings, in an attempt to change the method by which entities involved in underground development directly submitted completion drawings. In this study, a DB standard relating to submitting completion drawings was designed and applied in order to construct an auto-renewal system based on submitted completion drawings, which will be extended to cover the range to underground structures hereafter.

  • Vegetation structure, composition and diversity were quantified for 10 samples ($10m{\times}10m$) representing woody vegetation and for 30 samples ($1m {\times}3m$) representing understory vegetation in Pinus parviflora and Tsuga sieboldii forest of Taeharyeong, Ulleung-gun (Gyeongsangbuk-do). P. parviflora was limitedly advanced to sapling layer from seedling stage, and based on Mantel tests, composition of canopy layer was not established in ground woody vegetation. Non-metric multidimensional scaling revealed influence of biotic and abiotic factors in species composition of woody and understory vegetation. In the result of multiple regression model, abundance of P. parviflora (density and breast height area) and percent cover of woody debris were significant predict variables for understory diversity. These results suggest that relatively large disturbance is required for regeneration of P. parviflora and T. sieboldii forest, and control of expansion of monocultural understory species that monopolize resources such as Carex blepharicarpa and Maianthemum dilatatum, is necessary for maintenance of diversity.

  • The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for the establishment of future countermeasures by diagnosing the growth status and actual condition of undesignated old trees distributed in Hyeongok-myeon, Gyeongju, Gyeongsangbuk-do. The number of old trees surveyed was 2 weeks in Gajeong-ri, 2 weeks in Haguri, 3 weeks in Nae-Tae-ri, 1 week in Nawon-ri, 6 weeks in Oryu-ri, 3 weeks in Sangguri, and 2 weeks in Sohyeon-ri, The trees species composition was 6 trees Celtis sinensis Pers., 1 Diospyros lotus L. trees, 4 trees Salix chaenomeloides Kimura trees, 2 Styphnolobium japonicum L. trees, and 7 Zelkova serrata (Thunb.) Makino trees. Growth status is 7.1~22.0m in height, 14.6~25.1m in long axis, 10.2~19.2m in short axis, root diameter is 76.0~236.4cm, diamter at breast height is 67.0~220.0cm, soil acidity is pH4.9~7.0, soil The hardness was measured to be 4.0-27.0mm. The result grade of the scoring data of health information is represented by monitoring generally, monitoring critically, and absolute monitoring, and it was confirmed that out of the 20 trees population in Hyeongok-myeon, the general monitoring grade was 7 weeks, the major monitoring grade was 13 weeks, and there was no absolute monitoring grade. Accordingly, the number of old trees of the general surveillance level was maintained at the current level, and ecological surgical operations were introduced for the major surveillance level, but the case of village forests should be different, and sequential treatments were the old tree urgently needed. The level and bark of the target tree, the state of the crown, the root exposure, the presence of pests and pests, the vitality and the ground condition, the degree of pollution are normal, poor, or very poor, operation and protection management, soil improvement, removal of cover, and disinfection were urgently needed for the old trees with the surveyed data. In order to compensate for these matters, continuous monitoring and management measures for the old number should be sought.

  • Elsholtzia byeonsanensis is a Korean native plant of the Lamiaceae family, and was first introduced in the Korean Journal of Plant Taxonomy. This plant has a short plant length of 20-35 cm, with leathery and glossy leaves. The purple flowers bloom in November, so they are highly useful as potted or ground cover ornamental plants. In this study, tray cell size (128, 162, and 200-cell trays), soil composition [horticultural soil (HS): decomposed granite (DG) 1:1, 1:2, and 1:4 (v:v)], seeding rate (1, 2, and 3 seeds per cell) and additional fertilizer concentrations (0, 250, 500, and 1000 mg/L Hyponex) were tested to find out the optimum seedling growth conditions. As a result of the study, E. byeonsanensis growth increased proportionally as the cell size of the tray increased. The growth was inhibited as the percentage of DG increased. As for the growth according to the seeding rate, plant height, plant width, leaf length, and leaf width decreased as the seeding rate increased, but there was no difference in the number of leaves, stem diameter, and root length. There was an increasing trend in seedling growth as the additional fertilizer concentration increased. Therefore, for producing E. byeonsanensis seedling, it is most effective to fill HS or HS:DG 1:1 in 128-cell trays, sow one seed per cell, and spray the seedling at 1000 mg/L for additional fertilizer.

  • This study conducted interviews with former and current managers of Cheongwadae landscape architecture to provide basic information necessary to preserve, manage, and utilize Gyeongbokgung Palace's back garden, and the main conclusions summarized are as follows. First, the topography changed a lot with the construction of the main building and the official residence under President Roh Tae-woo. The water system was connected to Gyeongbokgung Palace in the past, but is now disconnected. Second, in the case of planting, the most important principles were the president's security and protocol, and accordingly, trees were placed or managed. Trees were planted by introducing excellent trees in various regions, and wildflowers and ground cover plants were frequently replaced according to the season. Third, facilities and roads were arranged for the president's protocol, hobbies, and workers' rest, and fire-fighting facilities were installed to prevent disaster in the forest area of Baegaksan Mountain. Fourth, the biggest inflection point of Gyeongbokgung Palace's back garden during Cheongwadae period was the change in topography due to the new construction of the main building and official residence during President Roh Tae-woo, the removal of A and B barbed wire fences that separated space during President Roh Moo-hyun, and the extensive landscaping carried out for the G20 Summit under President Lee Myung-bak. The area of Gyeongbokgung Palace's back garden is expected to face another inflection point due to the opening of Cheongwadae on May 10, 2022, and the work of evaluating the historical, academic, and landscape values of Gyeongbokgung Palace's back garden should be carried out while preserving the status.

  • The purpose of this study is focused on the development of compound classification process by mixing multitemporal data and annexing a specific image enhancement technique with a specific image classification algorithm, to gain more accurate land information from satellite imagery. That is, this study suggests the classification process using canonical correlation classification technique after principal component analysis for the mixed multitemporal data. The result of this proposed classification process is compared with the canonical correlation classification result of one date images, multitemporal imagery and a mixed image after principal component analysis for one date images. The satellite images which are used are the Landsat 5 TM images acquired on July 26, 1994 and September 1, 1996. Ground truth data for accuracy assessment is obtained from topographic map and aerial photograph, and all of the study area is used for accuracy assessment. The proposed compound classification process showed superior efficiency to appling canonical correlation classification technique for only one date image in classification accuracy by 8.2%. Especially, it was valid in classifying mixed urban area correctly. Conclusively, to improve the classification accuracy when extracting land cover information using Landsat TM image, appling canonical correlation classification technique after principal component analysis for multitemporal imagery is very useful.

  • 본 연구는 7~10월에 백색 꽃이 개화하는 화훼류인 너도개미자리[Minuartia laricina (L.) Mattf.]를 지피용 관상식물로 활용하기 위한 재배방법을 개발하기 위하여 수행되었다. 유용식물증식센터에서 종자를 분양 받아 2019년 4월 19일에 트레이에 파종하여 충북대학교 유리온실에서 육묘한 유묘를 7월 4일에 정식하여 실험재료로 사용하였으며, 9월 24일까지 약 11주 동안 재배하였다. 식재 용기에 따른 너도개미자리의 생육을 알아보기 위하여 비닐 포트 2, 3, 4치를 이용하였다. 토양 실험은 단용토로 원예상토를 사용하였으며, 혼용토는 마사토와 중화 피트모스를 2:1, 3:1 비율로 혼합한 후 토양 9L당 퇴비 1L를 첨가하였다. 묘 소질에 관한 실험은 파종립수(1, 2, 4, 6립)와 파종용기(162, 200, 288구 트레이)를 각기 달리하여 육묘한 유묘를 정식한 후 생육을 비교하였다. 대조구는 비닐 포트 3치에 원예상토를 충진하고, 200구 트레이에 1립씩 파종하여 생산된 1셀을 정식하였다. 연구의 결과, 식재 용기에 따른 너도개미자리의 생육은 4치 비닐 포트에서 가장 효과적이었다. 그러나 경제적 측면을 고려하면, 개화율이 양호하였던 3치 포트를 이용하는 것도 고려해볼만한 것으로 판단된다. 토양 종류별로는 원예상토에서 생육이 가장 양호하였다. 그러나 너도개미자리는 배수가 잘되는 산지에 자생하는 것으로 알려져 있어, 생육이 비교적 양호한 결과를 보인 마사토와 피트모스를 3:1로 혼합한 토양에서 재배하는 것도 이용가치가 높을 것으로 생각된다. 파종 립수에 따른 너도개미자리의 개체당 생육은 셀당 파종된 립수가 적을수록 왕성하였으며, 1립과 2립 파종묘가 우수하였다. 2립 파종묘의 포트당 생체중이 가장 무거운 결과를 보였으며, 4립과 6립 파종묘는 개체당 생육이 크게 억제되어 2립 파종묘에 비해 저조하였다. 파종 용기에 따른 생육은 육묘에 사용된 용기의 크기가 클수록 정식 후 모든 생육이 왕성하였으며, 162구에서 생산한 묘가 가장 우수하였다. 한편 개화율은 200구 생산 묘가 가장 높았으며, 생육이 가장 왕성하였던 162구 생산 묘는 왕성한 생육으로 인해 개화가 비교적 지연되는 경향이었다. 결론적으로 너도개미자리의 재배는 4치 비닐 포트에 원예상토를 충진하여 200구 트레이에 셀당 2립 파종하여 생산된 유묘를 정식하는 것이 지피용 재배에 가장 효과적인 것으로 생각된다. 경제적인 측면을 고려할 때 3치 비닐 포트에 마사토와 피트모스를 3:1로 혼합한 토양을 이용하는 것도 효율적일 것으로 생각된다.

  • 털부처꽃(Lythrum salicaria L.)은 예로부터 발효해서 술로 마시고, 잎은 채소로 식용하며, 식중독 치료 및 설사를 멈추게 하는 효과가 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 한국, 중국, 아프리카, 유럽, 북아메리카 등의 습한 지역에 분포하며, 7~8월에 취산꽃차례로 붉은 자주색의 꽃이 핀다. 본 연구는 털부처꽃을 지피용 소재로 개발하기 위한 최적의 재배기술을 확립하기 위해 수행되었다. 재배방법의 확립을 위하여 2019년 4월 27일에 파종하여 생산된 유묘를 7월 4일에 정식하여 9월 24일까지 12주 동안 재배하였다. 공통 조건은 3치 비닐 포트에 원예상토를 충진하고, 200구 트레이에 셀당 1립씩 파종하여 생산된 1셀 묘를 정식하였으며, 추비, 차광, 적심 등은 처리하지 않았다. 추비 실험은 hyponex 하이그레이드(N-P-K, 7-10-6)를 0, 500, 1000, 2000mg·L-1를 4주간 간격으로 총 3회 엽면시비 하였다. 차광 정도 실험은 0, 35, 55, 75% 차광막을 이용하였으며, 적심은 무적심과 4주차에 1회 적심처리 하였다. 연구의 결과, 털부처꽃은 추비 농도가 증가할수록, 생육이 감소하는 결과를 보였다. 차광처리 별로는 무차광 조건에서 생육이 가장 왕성한 결과를 보였고, 광량의 부족은 전반적으로 생육을 억제하는 경향이었다. 적심 처리는 줄기 신장을 크게 억제하였으며, 측지수를 증가시키는 결과를 보였다. 엽수는 무처리와 비교하였을 때 유의적인 차이가 없는 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 털부처꽃은 적심을 하는 것이 효과적인 것을 알 수 있었으며, 적심 시기에 관한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다. 결론적으로 추비처리는 털부처꽃의 생육에 부정적인 영향을 주므로 처리하지 않고, 무차광 조건에서 재배하는 것이 전반적인 생육에 유리하였다. 또한 도장이 잘되는 식물임으로 적심처리하는 것이 좋을 것으로 판단된다.

  • The reflectance observed in the visible channels of a geostationary meteorological satellite can be used to calculate the amount of cloud by comparing the reflectance with the observed solar radiation data at the ground. Using this, the solar radiation arriving at the surface can be estimated. This study used the Meteorological Imager (MI) reflectance observed at a wavelength of 675 nm and the Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) reflectance observed at similar wavelengths of 660 and 680 nm. Cloudy days during a typhoon and sunny days with little cloud cover were compared using observation data from the geostationary satellite. Pixels that had more than 40% reflectance in the satellite images showed less than 0.3 of the cloud index and blocked more than 70% of the solar energy. Pixels that showed less than 15% reflectance showed more than 0.9 of the cloud index and let through more than 90% of the solar energy to the surface. The calculated daily accumulated solar radiation was compared with the observed daily accumulated solar radiation in 22 observatories of the Korean Meteorological Administration. The values calculated for the COMS and MTSAT MI sensors were smaller than the observation and showed low correlations of 0.94 and 0.93, respectively, which were smaller than the 0.96 correlation coefficient calculated for the GOCI sensor. The RMSEs of MTSAT, COMS MI and GOCI calculation results showed 2.21, 2.09, 2.02 MJ/$m^2$ in order. Comparison of the calculated daily accumulated results from the GOCI sensor with the observed data on the ground gave correlations and RMSEs for cloudy and sunny days of 0.96 and 0.86, and 1.82 MJ/$m^2$ and 2.27 MJ/$m^2$, respectively, indicating a slightly higher correlation for cloudy days. Compared to the meteorological imager, the geostationary ocean color imager in the COMS satellite has limited observation time and observation is not continuous. However, it has the advantage of providing high resolution so that it too can be useful for solar energy analysis.
