The Government had devised legislation of Special Act and drew up guidelines for improving air quality in Seoul Metropolitan area. In 2007 local government of Seoul, Incheon and Gyeonggi conducted the results of application policy by reduced air pollutants emission for the first time. Although there was reduction of air pollutant emission in each local government, it was ineffective as expected using air pollution monitoring database. Therefore we worked out a way to prepare modeling input data using the results of enforcement plan. And we simulated surface $NO_2$ and PM10 before and after decrease in air pollutants emission and examine reduction effects of air pollution according to enforcement regulation except other influence, by using MM5-SMOKE-CMAQ system. Each local government calculated the amount of emission reduction under application policy, and we developed to prepare input data so as to apply to SMOKE system using emission reduction of enforcement plan. Distribution factor of emission reduction were classified into detailed source and fuel codes using code mapping method in order to allocate the decreased emission. The code mapping method also included a way to allocate spatial distribution by CAPSS distribution. According to predicted result using the reduction of NOx emission, $NO_2$ concentration was decreased from 19.1 ppb to 18.0 ppb in Seoul. In Gyeonggi and Incheon $NO^2$ concentrations were down to 0.65 ppb and 0.68 ppb after application of enforcement plan. PM10 concentration was reduced from 18.2 ${\mu}g/m^3$ to 17.5 ${\mu}g/m^3$ in Seoul. In Gyeonggi PM10 concentration was down to 0.51 ${\mu}g/m^3$ and in Incheon PM10 concentration was decreased about 0.47 ${\mu}g/m^3$ which was the lower concentration than any other cities.

대기순환모형(GCM)에 의하면 온실가스농도의 증가는 전구와 국지규모의 기후변화에 중요한 관련이 있음이 알려져 있다. GCM은 단일지점의 기상학적 순환과정을 분석하는데는 불확실성을 지니고 있기 때문에 현재로서는 축소기법이 대기순환모형(GCM)의 개발자들이 제공할 수 있는 것과 모형을 이용하여 기후영향을 평가하는 연구자들이 요구하는 것 사이의 차이점을 연계하기 위해 이용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 통계학적 축소기법을 이용하여 국지 규모의 기후변화의 영향을 평가할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고자 하였다. 본 방법을 이용한다면 현재와 미래의 국지적 규모의 기후강제력 하에서의 지표 기상변수의 시나리오를 저 비용으로 신속하게 작성할 수 있다. 기후변화시나리오의 작성은 통계학적 회귀방법인 전이함수와 추계학적 일기발생모형을 이용하였다. 전이함수는 저해상도의 GCM 격자 변수들을 고해상도의 단일 지점의 변수들로 변환시키며, 이 변수들은 단일 지점의 특정 일 지표 기상 변수를 모의하기 위해 추계학적 일기발생 모형의 매개변수를 수정하는데 이용되었다. 본 연구에서는 YONU GCM을 이용하여 제어실험과 점증실험을 실시하여 전구규모의 기후변화시나리오를 작성하였다.

Adaptation of climate change is necessary to avoid unexpected impacts of climate change caused by human activities. Vulnerability refers to the degree to which system cannot cope with impacts of climate change, encompassing physical, social and economic aspects. Therefore the quantification of climate change impacts and its vulnerability is needed to identify vulnerable regions and to setup the proper strategies for adaptation. In this study, climate change vulnerability is defined as a function of climate exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. Also, we identified regions vulnerable to ozone due to climate change in Korea using developed proxy variables of vulnerability of regional level. 18 proxy variables are selected through delphi survey to assess vulnerability over human health sector for ozone concentration change due to climate change. Also, we estimate the weighting score of proxy variables from delphi survey. The results showed that the local regions with higher vulnerability index in the sector of human health are Seoul and Daegu, whereas regions with lower one are Jeollanam-do, Gyeonggi-do, Gwangju, Busan, Daejeon, and Gangwon-do. The regions of high level vulnerability are mainly caused by their high ozone exposure. We also assessed future vulnerability according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRES) A2, A1FI, A1T, A1B, B2, and B1 scenarios in 2020s, 2050s and 2100s. The results showed that vulnerability increased in all scenarios due to increased ozone concentrations. Especially vulnerability index is increased by approximately 2 times in A1FI scenarios in the 2020s. This study could support regionally adjusted adaptation polices and the quantitative background of policy priority as providing the information on the regional vulnerability of ozone due to climate change in Korea.

Global warming melts polar ice, changes ocean currents, creates variation of local climate, and inundates low-altitude regions resulting in disasters to mankind. Accordingly, developed countries including U.S.A. and U.K. spend great amounts of efforts and money to plan and manage research activities on polar ice which is regarded as a key indicator of climate change. The proposed research aims to provide basic information for chasing and monitoring the melting phenomena of polar ice through multiple GPS to enhance the GPS quality.

기후변화와 도시 문제를 고려해 다양한 영역에 걸친 환경계획의 수립과 비교를 위해서는 일관된 기준으로 분류된 지역 규모 수준의 공간자료 구축이 중요하다. 본 연구는 World Urban Database and Access Portal Tools(WUDAPT)에서 제시한 절차를 사용하여 기후 및 환경 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있는 창원시의 Local Climate Zone(LCZ)를 분류하였다. 또한, 동질적인 기후 특성을 가진 지역일지라도 일부 격자가 다른 기후 특성으로 분류되는 파편화 문제를 개선하기 위해 필터링 기법을 적용하고 필터링 반경에 따른 LCZ 분류 특성을 비교하였다. 위성영상과 지상참조자료, 감독분류 머신러닝 기법인 Random Forest를 활용하여 필터링하지 않은 분류지도와 필터링 반경이 1, 2, 3인 분류지도를 제작하여 정확도를 비교하였다. 또한, 도시지역의 건물 유형에 따른 LCZ 분류특성을 비교하기 위해 GIS를 활용한 분류방법론에서 사용되는 도시형태지수를 제작하여 선행 연구에서 제시한 범위와 비교하였다. 그 결과, 전체 정확도는 필터링 반경이 1일 때 가장 높은 값을 보였다. 도시형태지수를 비교하였을 때 LCZ 유형별 차이는 적었고 대부분 선행연구의 범위를 만족하는 것을 확인하였다. 그러나 연구 결과를 통해 건물의 높이 정보를 반영하지 못하는 한계를 확인하였고, 이를 보완할 수 있는 데이터를 추가하여 분류한다면 더 높은 정확도의 결과물을 획득할 수 있을 것이라 판단된다. 연구 결과는 국내 도시기후 관련 환경 연구분야의 기초 공간자료 제작하기 위한 참고자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Orographic effect is one of the important factors to induce Local circulations and to make atmospheric turbulence, so it is necessary to use the exact topographic data for prediction of local circulations. In order to clarify the sensitivity of the spatial resolution of topography data, numerical simulations using several topography data with different spatial resolution are carried out under stable and unstable synoptic conditions. The results are as follows: 1) Influence of topographic data resolution on local circulation tends to be stronger at simulation with fine grid than that with coarse grid. 2) The hight of mountains in numerical model become mote reasonable with high resolution topographic data, so the orographic effect is also emphasized and clarified when the topographic data resolution is higher. 2) The higher the topographic resolution is, the stronger the mountain effect is. When used topographic data resolution become fine, topography in numerical model becomes closer to real topography. 3) The topographic effect tends to be stronger when atmospheric stability is strong stable. 4) Although spatial resolution of topographic data is not fundamental factor for dramatic improvement of weather prediction accuracy, some influence on small scale circulation can be recognized, especially in fluid dynamic simulation.

Global environmental changes have the capacity to make dramatic alterations to floral and faunal composition, and elucidation of the mechanism is important for predicting its outcomes. Studies on global climate change have traditionally focused on statistical summaries within relatively wide scales of spatial and temporal changes, and less attention has been paid to variability in microclimates across spatial and temporal scales. Microclimate is a suite of climatic conditions measured in local areas near the earth's surface. Environmental variables in microclimatic scale can be critical for the ecology of organisms inhabiting there. Here we examine the effect of spatial and temporal changes in microclimates on those of carabid beetle communities in Hyangnobong, Korea. We found that climatic variables and the patterns of annual changes in carabid beetle communities differed among sites even within the single mountain system. Our results indicate the importance of temporal survey of communities at local scales, which is expected to reveal an additional fraction of variation in communities and underlying processes that has been overlooked in studies of global community patterns and changes.

South Korea's energy policy has been historically established through an energy production structure that relies on thermal and nuclear power generation in relation to a centralized 'Hard Energy System'. However, climate change issues are forcing the transition to renewable energy, and it is crucial for local governments to enable this. This study analyses Seoul city's local energy governance, which is known as One Less Nuclear Power Plant Initiative, by applying the collaborative governance framework inspired by Ansell and Gash (2008) and the Reflexivity framework of Confucianism. It is considered that the local energy governance model of Seoul city can be used as a model by other local governments, and it will eventually lead to a decentralized energy system in this era of energy transition.
