This study is described in heavy metal pollution by the stony mountain development using field case. The heavy metal pollution is investigated for nearby area (soil and stream) of the developed stony mountain, and then the countermeasure using contamination analysis is suggested. The investigation result indicated that contamination of Sammak stream caused by the stone dust and leachate at the stony mountain development. Therefore, the heavy metal pollution is evaluated by using Pollution Index(PI). The evaluation results confirmed that the contaminated groundwater was the leading cause of the contamination in Sammak stream and nearby soil. Therefore, the Permeable Reaction Barrier(PRB), which has a environmentally-friendly reactant, should be applied to control a heavy metal of groundwater, and it will be a reasonable countermeasure.

Relationships between soil factors and the growth of annual ring of Pinus densiflora grown on stony mountain were investigated at two sites of the different parent rocks: the one was formed by granite at Mt. Gwanag, Seoul and the other feldspar porphyry at Mt. Bipa, Daegu. The growth of annual ring was influenced by the physical factors of soil, such as soil depth, field caacity and water content of soil, rather than by the KDICical factors, such as total nitrogen, potassium, and calcium of soil. Of the soil factors affecting the growth of annual ring, soil depth, field capacity, water content of soil and organic matter closely interrelated with each other. All of these factors influenced water content of soil which might affect the water potential of Pinus densiflora leaves. In fact, the leaf water potential, affecting as the main factor for the growth of annual ring, of the pine grown in a deep soil was higher than that of the pine in a shallow soil.

To investigate the heart rate changes under the influence of physical conditions on mountain trails, heart rates of 3 subjects were recorded on 9 routes in Kyeryongsan National Park and Odaesan National Park. Maximal heart rate during uphill walking recorded between 84% and 96% to individual maximal heart rate using ergometer, thus uphill walking on mountain trail was an exhaustive exercise. The ratio of maximal heart rate during downhill walking indicated between 78% and 93% to maximal heart rate during uphill walking. And gradient of trail influenced on heart rate, but width of trail didn't. The heart rate on wooden- or stony-step-trail were rapidly increased in comparison with the heart rates on soil-trails.

The forest vegetation occurring mainly at the mountain areas in periphery of Seoul were inversigated phyeosociologically. The granitic rocky outcrops are typical physiognomy on the study areas. The greater part of forests was the secondary vegetation to be disturbed by hyman impacts, because of being situated near the metropolis with a highly dense population. Four community types were largely differentiated by species composition. The representitive ones were the Quercus monogolica community and Pinus densiflora-Juniperus schinensis community, which are predominantly gorwing at the slopes above about 100m in altituse and the rocky ridges, respectively. The Betula chinensis-Potentilla dickinsii community at several single-peaks of windswept and the Zelkova serrata-Prunus padus community at stony valley are sporadically growing in a small area.

This study analyzes stability and the reason of slope failure about cut slope on stony mountain in Acheondong, Guri and suggests the reasonal reinforce method. Based on the results of the subsurface exploration, laboratory tests, and the numerical analysis of finite element method, the potentials of plane and wedge failure are highly estimated. The safety factor was 1.2 under dry and 1.06 wet condition. The most proper reinforce method to raise the safety factor more than 1.5 was the way to control displacement by using step retaining wall, earth anchor, wire mesh, and rock anchor.

This study analyzed ancient documents and established petrological database through extensive field investigation of provenance sites to presume stone source areas of the Seoul City Wall. By summarizing the ancient documents, the rampart stone was mostly supplied from a stony mountain adjacent to the City Wall in the early Joseon period, whereas the stone was provided from fixed quarry outside the City Wall in the late Joseon period. As a result of the petrological investigation based on quarries recorded in the ancient documents, pinkish granite and leucogranite were distributed as a whole, and the granitoid rocks are similar in mineralogical compositions and geochemical behavior characteristics. However, the pinkish granite with magnetic-series show that the magnetic susceptibility increased from the north slope of Namsan Mountain to Bulamsan Mountain. The leucogranite with ilmenite-series mainly occurred along the boundary between granite and gneiss from Yongmasan Mountain to Inwangsan Mountain. Consequently, the important petrological indicators for presumption of stone source areas are the rock color and the magnetic susceptibility. In addition to the petrological features, the reliability for provenance interpretation should improve considering stone quantities in the quarries, transportation distance and technical skills.

Deutzia paniculata Nakai, a rare and endemic plant, has limited distribution throughout the North and South Gyeongsang provinces of South Korea. The D. paniculata community grows mostly on the stony slopes of forests, valley edges, and rock layers at 250-960 m in altitude, where deciduous trees are dominant and high humidity is maintained. Correlation analysis of vegetation and environmental factors found that the Walter's dogwood-mulberry community was correlated with soil acidity (pH). Whilst the queritron community had correlations with distance from the valley, rock rate and slope. The natural habitat of the Palgongsan Mountain in Daegu is known to have high genetic diversity, had eight D. paniculata individuals recorded from 2014 to 2018, and 12 individuals recorded in 2020 (new individuals due to a newly created space within the herbaceous layer caused by grass mowing works), it is therefore unlikely that the community would perish unless there was an artificial disturbance. To conserve the natural habitats of D. paniculata, oppression by Sasa borealis, damage, increase in crown density of the upper layer, overexploitation, and absence of seedlings should be carefully investigated. In addition, response measures should also be established and the impact on seed fullness and the reproductive characteristics of D. paniculata recorded. To restore declined genetic diversity, individuals from high genetic diversity regions, such as Palgongsan Mountain, should be artificially transplanted.

Stone Industry in our country is classified mainly in view of supply of raw materials ingredients, as follows: Stone-Quarrying Industry who develops the natural resources, Stone Processing Industry who processes the quarried raw ore into construction materials and stone-products, Stony Mountain-Aggregate Industry who supplies the elementary raw materials ingredients to construction section, respectively. Among them, while Stone Processing Industry sells its turnover around billion-Won level per annum per a company, most of other job sites are paltry, adopting less than 10 employees, and it is real state that their working environments are also very coarse. The Noise originated from processing-instrument which generates at such Stone Processing Industry is as so repeatedly reiterating Loud Noise that most of the spot workers are forcedly imposing such dangers as the severe unpleasant feeling and hearing impairments. On this viewpoint, this Research is now analyzing on the frequency characteristics with regard to the Noise that generated from various processing-instruments, and then based on this, in order to grasp the influence of the Loud Noise generating when process the stone materials, this study has ever evaluated it with PSIL and NR. It is considered that such data could be used as the valuable material for establishment of a comfortable working environment hereafter.

Baekdudaegan field survey has been proposed and presented as a various plan such as field survey analysis, management and restoration plan, etc. Whereas, the concerns of the Jeongmaek has increased continuously, nevertheless there is no research of present condition for Jeongmaek. This paper is to contribute to suggest for management and restoration as a basic study of vegetation structure in Yongso valley. We set up 30 plots($100m^2$) to verify the vegetation structure. As a result of classification analysis used by DCA, the type of 5 communities i.e. Pinus densiflora community, Betula schmidtii community, Populus maximowiczii community, Quercus mongolica community, Q. variabilis community were the most representative of Yongso valley vegetation communities. P. densiflora community was mainly distributed in the ridge of mountain, ridge of steep slope and stony area. In that reason, they avoid to compete with B. schmidtii community and Q. spp. community. In addition, the appearance of Rhododendron micranthum was mainly characteristics in the P. densiflora community. Species diversity indices(H') of groups were ranged from 0.7914~0.9942, the tree ages were 30~115 years. According to these results, the forests of Yongso valley not only form muti-layer vegetation structures but also have a great ecological value for protection and preservation.
