  • Several large scale reclamation projects are being underway along the coastal line in Korea. Therefore the large quantity of economical backfill material is necessary to cope with the shortage of dredged soil. In this study, the amount of volume reduction of dredged soil from detention basin was evaluated based on the laboratory tests. The percentage of soil particles in dredged organic soil is about 12.5∼21.9% by weight. The content of heavy metal and environmental effect for dredged soil itself and solidified dredged soil were analysed and the results are far below than those of environmental requirement.

  • The family of lemnacae colloquially known as duckweed contains the world' smallest species of flowering plants (macrophytes). Aquatic and free-floating, their most striking qualities are a capacity for explosive reproduction and an almost complete lack of fibrous material. They are widely used for reducing chemical loading in facultative sewage lagoons, but their greatest potential lies in their ability to produce large quantities of protein rich biomass, suitable for feeding to a wide range of animals, including fish, poultry and cattle. Despite these qualities there are numerous impediments to these plants being incorporated into western farming systems. Large genetically determined variations in growth in response to nutrients and climate, apparent anti-nutritional factors, concerns about sequestration of heavy metals and possible transference of pathogens raise questions about the safety and usefulness of these plants. A clear understanding of how to address and overcome these impediments needs to be developed before duckweed is widely accepted for nutrient reclamation and as a source of animal feed.

  • The amount of coal ash has been increasing and development of effective use is urgently needed. Various by-products and waste are expected to be used as resources from the point of reduction in environmental load. This is an experimental study to compare the properties of high volume coal ash concrete using the reclaimed coal ash. For this purpose, authors have started work to develop a production method of hardening coal ash concrete. Laboratory tests show that the optimum mixture of coal ash concrete can be determined from multiple regression analysis. According to test results, it was found that the compressive strength of the concrete can be determined by a single curve. And it is obtained from the analysis of the results tested for concrete with the ratio of total power to water and amount of land reclamation ash.

  • The composition of water-friendly space in the port and harbour developments provides the accessibility to the sea and thus resting & recreational function of the local citizen, which should be treated importantly for the eco-friendly coastal development. However, the high demand on water-friendly space can induce another environmental problem because most port and harbour developments require marine reclamation and the water-friendly space are made up on the reclamation area. The present study analysed the problems and suggested matters to be considered in composing the water-friendly space of port and harbour developments. The study also established the management direction by site characteristics of port and harbour. In addition, we attempt to find a plan to avoid the water-friendly space composition with environmental damage and to secure the environmental and public soundness in site selection, land use and facilities plan based on case studies.

  • This paper presents a recent finding from the progressed research efforts on the application for wastewater reclamation and reuse for agricultural uses. Reclaimed effluents from the Suwon municipal sewer treatment plant has been used to irrigate paddy rice at experimental plots. Three levels of reclamation treatments, filtration, disinfection, and the both, and one treatment to apply heavily polluted stream flow are compared to the control which uses groundwater for irrigation. The rice growth indicated by plant height and tiller number, and the yields were compared statistically among the five treatments. The results showed that the rice yields from polluted stream were greatest, and the control showed the lowest yields. And the first year experiment indicated that the agricultural reuse is promising.

A Study on the Legal System of Compensation for Fishery Loss caused by Public Works (우리나라 어업손실 보상제도에 대한 정선방안 연구;-법제도를 중심으로-)

  • The objective of this study is to analize the system of legal compensation for the fishery loses caused by public works and to suggest alternatives on the current compensation system. Korea government has been performing reclamation activities in coastal region to conduct farm, urban and industrial area, and such activities are still going on in Yeongjongdo airport area, Saemangeum area and so on. Reclamation interrupts fishing activities in or around the reclaiming area, therefore, the compensation for fishery losses incurred by fishermen should be made. The system of legal compensation in Korea, however, is based on the land compensation, and the regulation of the compensation for fishery losses in the Fishery Act can not be applied for the compensation of public works because the procedure of the compensation in the Fishery Act is different from its cause of action. Therefore, this study is caried out to suggest a resonable compensation procedure and to provide a basis for establishing legal system.
