Aquatic and riparian vegetation of river ecosystems are very important both in ecological and management perspectives. Vegetation surveys were conducted to understand the characteristics of riparian vegetation in the mid and lower reaches of the Nakdong River, Korea. A total of 68 families and 260 species were identified at eleven survey sites. The numbers of taxa were similar to those reported in a previous survey in 1996,but the percentage of naturalized plants increased more than two times compared to that in the previous survey. Survey sites near Yangsan Bridge and Nambu Park in Yangsan showed the highest percentage of naturalized plant species. Urbanization indices of the survey sites were high at 18.8% on average. Therophytes were the most dominant plant life form at the survey sites with 39.2% of total plants identified, followed by phanerophytes (19.2%), hemicryptophytes (18.9%), aquatic plants (13.9%), cryptophytes (5.8%), and chamaephytes (3.1%). The relative composition of hemicryptophytes decreased whereas those of therophytes and chamaephytes increased compared to those in the survey in 1996. This may be due to increase in dryness of riparian soils or degradation of riparian areas. Plant compositions at sites near Jeokpo Bridge and Hwoicheon suggest that the composition and distribution of riparian vegetation are affected by land use pattern surrounding riparian areas or human accessibility to the areas.

Fish community structure in the Pyeongchanggang River was investigated from April to November 2009. About 900 individuals representing 24 species from eight families at six sites in the Pyeongchanggang River were collected. It was similar to the 2001's survey and it was less than 2006's survey. The Korean endemic species, Zacco koreanus was the most abundant, whereas subdominant species were native species, such as Pungtungia herzi, Zacco platypus, Rhynchocypris kumgangensis and Rhynchocypris oxycephalus. Three endangered species were collected at the sampling area, Acheilognathus signifier (relative abundance [RA] 0.9%), Pseudopungtungia tenuicorpa (RA 1.4%), and Cottus koreanus (RA 3.6%). One natural monument species, Hemibarbus mylodon, was included. According to the analysis of ecological indicator characteristics, the relative proportion of tolerant species was 6.3% (57 individuals), whereas the proportion of sensitive species was 65.9% (593 individuals). Species evenness, richness and diversity indices decreased gradually through the month from April to November during the study. Community indices in Pyeongchanggang River showed a high evenness index (J'>0.6), a low level of species richness (R<3.5) and a medium level of diversity (1.5

영산강은 내륙수로로서 중요한 기능을 수행하였으나, 1981년 영산강하구둑 축조 이후에 주운기능이 소멸되었다. 그 이후에 영산강 하류지역을 중심으로 주운복원과 활용방안에 대한 주장이 제기되어 지금까지 지속되고 있으나, 이러한 논의들이 영산강의 지형적, 수문학적인 특성에 충분히 기초하지 못하고 있다. 영산강 주운복원 및 활용은 과학적인 타당성을 기초로 추진되어야 하는데, 영산강의 특성을 고려할 경우, 주운복원은 구진포에서 영산강하구둑까지 수심이 얕은 일부 구간의 저수로를 준설하여 환경탐사, 생태관광을 목적으로 하는 소형 선박을 운항하는 방안이 바람직하다. 영산강 주운복원 및 활용방안을 모색하기 위해서는 자치단체, 유관기관, 전문가, 민간단체 등이 거버넌스에 입각하여 참여와 협력 체계를 구축하는 것이 필요하다.

River channel dredging and riparian development have been influenced morphology and quantity of natural river habitat. We compared distribution of riverside land and alluvial island in the Nakdong River with field survey and remote sensing analysis after the 4 Large River Project in South Korea. We digitized geomorphological elements, includes main channel, riverside land, and alluvial island by using georeferenced aerial photos taken in pre-dredging (2008) and post-dredging (2012) periods. Field survey was followed in 2012 for a ground truth of digitized boundaries and identification of newly constructed wetland types such as pond, channel, branch, and riverine type. We found that during the dredging period, riverside land and alluvial island were lost by 20.2% and 72.7%, respectively. Modification rate of riverside land was higher in the section of river kilometer 50~90, 140~180, and 210~270. Alluvial island had higher change rate in the section of river kilometer 50~70, 190~210, and 270~310. Average change rate for the riverside land and alluvial island was $-1.02{\pm}0.14km^2{\cdot}10km^{-1}$ and $-0.05{\pm}0.05km^2{\cdot}10km^{-1}$, respectively. Channel shaped wetlands (72.5%) constituted large portion of newly constructed wetlands.

This study was conducted to provide the basic information on environment effects on appearance of ichthyoplankton in the Yeongsan River Estuary in Spring and Summer from 2018 to 2020. Data were obtain from the database of 'Coastal Ecosystem' in "National Survey of Marine Ecosystem." Among the abundance ichthyoplankton species, the Gobiidae spp. dominated, accounting for 85% of the total abundances with the secondary dominant species being the Parablennius yatabei, representing 3% of the abundances. Cluster analysis results revealed a composition differentiated between spring and summer. The Yeongsan River Estuary is known to be significantly influenced by the opening and closing of estuarine gates. In this study, the fluctuation in the number of occurrence groups and abundance among the years and season is attributed to the phenomenon of high water temperature period and the freshwater discharge.

Long-term and systematic monitoring of phytoplankton is important, as phytoplankton serve as indicators of water quality status in aquatic environments. In the present study, the plankton community structure of the Nakdong River estuary over the past 30 years was investigated by literature survey to provide references for the occurrence of planktonic species. A total of 876 species from 18 taxonomic lineages were reported and, among them, 569 species were identified to occur seasonally at the Mulgeum, Seonam and Eulsukdo sites. Diatoms and chlorophytes were dominant in the microscopic studies. The 54 species at the Mulgeum and the 96 species at the Eulsukdo sites have not been reported since the river barrage construction in 1987. The majority of reports speculate that there has been a change in the aquatic environment, particularly the plankton community structure, due to operation of a river barrage since 1987.

The purpose of this study is to analyze present condition and users' behavior on waterfront in local city. To analyze the current physical statues and behavioral issues, 3 cities including Jinju city(Nam river), Ulsan city(Taewha river), and Dae-gu city(Gumho river) has chosen as research areas, the questionnaire and field survey were conducted in research areas focusing on post occupancy evaluation. In this study, it was found that main behaviors of waterfront were rest and exercise and overall satisfactions of waterfront were related to the decision-making for revisitation. However, unsatisfactory physical factors of waterfront were the position and number of facilities related to the behaviors such as rest, exercise, and bicycle riding. Especially, most unsatisfactory factor was the inadequate lighting in respect of intensity of illumination and position although much people had been used each waterfronts at nighttime. In conclusion it was thought that it was necessary to reinforce the program related to culture and leisure such as public performance and to establish infrastructure related to life-time sport and various outdoor exercise for waterfront activation.

하천의 체계적 관리와 계획을 위해서는 정확도 높은 측량자료가 요구되며, 이를 통해 재해예방과 환경보호, 주요 인프라인 댐이나 보 같은 하천의 관리가 가능해 진다. 본 연구는 재난관리, 건설산업의 지원 등에 다양하게 활용되는 하천측량을 현재의 토털스테이션을 이용한 측량 방법과 최근 들어 활발히 이용되고 있는 항공라이다측량 방법을 이용하여 동일지역의 데이터를 취득하고 그 성과를 비교 분석하는데 목적을 두었으며, 실험 대상지로는 강원도 북한강 상류지역을 선정 하였다. 선정된 실험 지역을 대상으로 총 2개의 횡단면도를 추출하였으며, 추출된 횡단면도를 상호 비교 분석하였다. 분석 결과 일반적인 육지부에서는 두 자료간 수준고의 평균제곱근 오차가 0.017m로 그 차이가 거의 없었으나 수직위치만 변하는 특이점이나 수심부에서는 항공라이다측량이 해당 지점의 수준고를 정확하게 측정하지 못하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 도출된 문제점을 극복하기 위해서는 향후 지속적인 연구와 실험으로 항공라이다측량을 이용한 세부 시설물의 정확한 측정 방안이나 수심부를 투과하여 하천 바닥면을 육지부와 동일한 오차범위 내로 측정할 수 있는 대안이 마련되어야 할 것으로 보이며, 실용화 단계가 될 시점에서는 대규모 지역이나 사람의 접근이 불능한 지역에 대하여 하천뿐만 아니라 각종 엔지니어링 사업분야에서도 계획 및 설계 등 의사결정 수단으로 다양한 활용이 기대된다.
