Forest degradation reduces ecosystem services provided by forest and could lead to change in composition of species. In North Korea, there has been significant forest degradation due to conversion of forest into terrace fields for food production and cut-down of forest for fuel woods. This study analyzed the phenological changes in North Korea, in terms of vegetation and moisture in soil and vegetation, from March to Octorber 2013, using MODIS (MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) images and indexes including NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), NDSI (Normalized Difference Soil Index), and NDWI (Normalized Difference Water Index). In addition, marginal farmland was derived using elevation data. Lastly, degraded terrace fields of 16 degree was analyzed using NDVI, NDSI, and NDWI indexes, and marginal farmland characteristics with slope variable. The accuracy value of land cover classification, which shows the difference between the observation and analyzed value, was 84.9% and Kappa value was 0.82. The highest accuracy value was from agricultural (paddy, field) and forest area. Terrace fields were easily identified using slope data form agricultural field. Use of NDVI, NDSI, and NDWI is more effective in distinguishing deforested terrace field from agricultural area. NDVI only shows vegetation difference whereas NDSI classifies soil moisture values and NDWI classifies abandoned agricultural fields based on moisture values. The method used in this study allowed more effective identification of deforested terrace fields, which visually illustrates forest degradation problem in North Korea.

The objective of this study is to establish implications for forest restoration planning in North Korea by analyzing spatio-temporal forest changes and detecting bio-physical factors driving forest degraded. We measured the relationship and spatial distribution between shifting cultivation and sparse forest. We also analyzed between degraded forest land and ecological variables by binary logistic regression to find biophysical drivers of forest degradation and deforestation in North Korea. Between the sparse forest and the shifting cultivation, a positive relationship is found (r=0.91) and scattered discontinuously throughout the country (Moran's I = -1, Z score = -13.46 (p=0.000)). The sparse forest showed a negative relationship with the warmest month(bio 9), the coldest month(bio10), and the minimum of soil water contents (swc_min), while the shifting cultivation had a negative relationship with the warmest month(bio 9) and the minimum of soil water contents(swc_min). However, the most critical drivers convert forests into sloping farmland were the three months rainfall in summer(bio8) and the yearly mean of soil water contents. Such results reflect the growth period of crops which overlaps with the rainy season in North Korea and the recent land reclamation of uplands where the soil water contents are maintained with a dense forest. When South Korea aids forest restoration projects in North Korea, in consideration of food shortage due to North Korea's cropland deficiency, terrace farmlands where soil water contents can be maintained should be excluded from the priority restoration area. In addition, an evaluation method for selecting a potential restoration area must be modified and applied based on multiple criteria including altitude and socio-economic factors in the respective regions.

In order to improve water quality of upper watershed of Paldang reservoir, it is necessary to evaluate non-point source pollution loads and identify critical watershed pollution sources. A GIS based Soil and Water Assessment Tool was applied to evaluate model application and reliability, estimate NPS pollution load, identify critical watershed by NPS pollution sources, and suggest various best management practices for Kyongan Stream watershed. Yearly NPS pollution loads were estimated 30.0% SS, 60.1% TN and 35.4% TP, respectably. The watershed pollution load is mainly decided by precipitation condition and SS and nutrients load have a significant regression relationship. Based on 10-year average yearly NPS pollution load, critical sub-watersheds were identified. The No. 5 and 17 which have lots of relatively intensive agricultural fields and scattered industrial area were vary critical sub-watersheds and under more intensive pollution load. In order to control critical watershed, watershed best management practices such as scientific fertilizer, contour farming and parallel terrace, transferring the sloppy farmland to grass or forest and constructing a buffer zone, and constructing wetlands and retention ponds will be applied. Overall the SWAT model can be efficiently used for identification of critical sub-watersheds in order to develop a priority watershed management plan to reduce water pollutions.

본 연구는 DMZ 및 민통선지역의 토지피복 변화양상을 생태학적 측면에서 파악해보는데 목적을 두고 있다. 한반도 허리를 가르는 대상형 지역인 DMZ에 대하여 남북간 왕래가 잦은 서부지역에 대하여 토지피복특성을 파악해 보았는데, 비접근지역인 연구지역 특성상 본 연구에서는 위성영상자료를 활용하여 토지피복의 현황 및 변화특성을 파악해 보았다. '80년대 중반(Landsat TM, '87.05.20) 및 2000년대 초반의 영상(Landsat ETM+, '02.06.06)을 활용함으로써 최근 15년 동안 토지피복이 어떻게 변화했는지 파악하였으며, 생태적 가치가 큰 DMZ 지역의 토지피복 분류정확도를 높이기 위하여, 선형분광혼합화소분석(linear spectral mixture analysis : LSMA)을 이용하였다. 이 분석법은 하나의 화소를 단일한 지표물로 가정하여 영상을 처리하는 기존의 기법과 달리, 각 화소의 토지피복의 혼합정도를 세분화 한 후 대상지의 토지피복 특성을 가장 잘 반영하는 순수한 화소값 별로 분할영상(fraction image)을 생성하였는데, 본 연구에서는 식생, 토양, 수문의 3가지 화소에 대한 분할영상을 생성하였다. 분석결과 토지피복 가운데 산림지역의 면적이 가장 많은 감소를 가져왔는데, 남한지역의 경우 산림의 $39.04km^2$가, 북한지역은 $52.37km^2$가 다른 토지피복으로 변화되었다. 농경지의 경우 북한은 농경지 면적의 $56.15km^2$가 나대지로 변화되었는데, 이는 남한에 비하여 농경지 관리가 소홀하여 나대지 상태로 방치되고 있음을 알 수 있다. 공간적인 측면에서 볼 때, 민통선지역의 경우 전반적으로 토지피복의 변화가 나타나고 있으며, DMZ 내부의 경우도 장단반도 주변지역, 파주시 및 북한 판문군지역의 경우 그 변화가 민통선지역과 비슷한 양상을 보이고 있다.

The objectives of this study were to establish the slope criteria and analyze the forest land restoration plan in North Korea. Reviewing the literature of the countries, the relationships among the climate, erosion controls, and slope criteria with forest restoration programmes, implemented were analyzed. Comparison of forest land management policies was conducted between South and North Korea. The soil erosion controls using biological barriers were at $15{\sim}20^{\circ}$slopes in arid climate regions and $25{\sim}30^{\circ}$ in humid climate regions. In the case of South Korea, an afforestation policy from the "Act on Clearance Project of Slash-and Burn Agriculture" of 1966 was enforced on mountains with slope greater than $20^{\circ}$, however, at present, the "Marginal Cropping Land Policy" recommends cropping lands with slope bigger than $8.5^{\circ}$ to forest land. In 1961, in "Land Reclamation of One Million Hectare", North Korea reclaimed additional cropping lands with slope bigger than $8.5^{\circ}$, and currently, the "Act on Forestry" states to enforce reforestation with slope bigger than $20^{\circ}$. This study recommends that South Korea aids for forest land restoration in North Korea based on the different stages of their development on reconciliation and cooperation between South and North Korea.

Instead of fertilizing the lands they moved to find other fertile lands and lived a feudal life agriculture and various machincs played a main role in the land reclamation. The best method of land clearing, the time and capacity in the operation and the effect of growing crops should systematically analized prior to the time of 3rd Five-year Economic Development(1972-1976) in order to cultivate 210,000ha of wasteland or the modernization of our country. The present study was investigated to find out a new working-system of mechanical land clearing and development of fertile soil. The results are as follows: 1) The first stage of productive power increases when weeds were mixed soil in the land clearing work in order to supply organic materials and to make soil swollen instead of burning or just removing. 2) The equipments such as bulldozers, harrows, power tillers and so on should be prepared in order to do a systematic work in the land clearing. 3) The work of pulling-up roots is dependent upon the forms of roots spreading under the ground. The work of the pulling-up of the straight roots was most difficult. But before the roots are pulling-up we do not know the forms of roots. 4) The cutting of soil from upside to under side land clearing method (II) Spent 6 hr 7 min 43 sec per 1 Danbo in doing land clearing and control method spent 4 hr 52 min 30 sec per 1 Danbo in doing land cearing. No significant difference could be found between II treatment type and I treatment type. 5) The volume of soil carried by bulldozer $270.38m^3$ per 1 Danbo in I type and in II type, $368.58m^3$ per 1 Danbo or about 36% increased in II type then in I type. But that is not a significant difference when considering the whole productive power of soil. 6) The land clearing of terrace by bulldozers cannot escape making the embankment slope of about $45^{\circ}$, and 25.3% should be decreased in the area. It is recommended to make use of the embankment slope by planting grass for cows. 7) The time of retary tilling increased 2.3 times or 1 hr 42 min 22 sec per 1 Danbo compared to the timesrequired in the harrowing. Because it mixed the Organic matter on ground and the harrowing of subsoil. 8) The havest of pasture growing on the land reclamation in natural slope is as follows. (a) The none fertilizers with reclaimed block of productivity decresed 1/10 than that of the farmland. Therefore the none fer tilizing in the cultivated pasture is unprofitable. (b) The havest of the manured IV treatment block was the best not only in the kinds of fertilizers but also in the kinds of pasture grass.

등고선에서 생성된 DEM(digital elevation model)은 고도 간격에 따라 미지형 요소 표현에 절대적인 영향을 받기 때문에 미기복 지형이 잘 표현되지 않는 문제가 발생한다. 이를 보완하기 위해 지표피복에 고도정보를 입력하여 buffering과 지도대수 연산기법을 적용하며 미기복 지형을 복원하는 Landcover burning 기법을 개발하고자 하였다. 미지형복원과정은 등고선에서 일차 DEM 생성, 지표피복도 제작, 지표피복요소 중 미지형요소에 대한 buffering 기법에 의한 고도정보 복원, 피복인자에 대한 지도대수 연산을 통한 고도정보 입력에 의해 DEM을 복원하였다. 미지형복원은 하천지형을 중심으로 적용하였다. buffering에 의한 지형복원은 면적인(polygonal) 요소인 사력퇴, 습지에 대해서 지형형상이 오목 혹은 볼록 지형의 특성에 맞추어 일정간격의 등고선을 생성하여 지형을 복원한 후, 고도 정보를 입력하여 복원하였다. 선형적인 요소인 제방, 도로, 수로, 지류는 지도대수함수를 이용하여 지형을 복원할 수 있었다. 하상, 하안단구, 인공지물(농경지)과 같은 면적인 요소들은 평탄하기 때문에 일정한 고도값을 입력하여 지형면을 복원하였다. 연구결과는 단면도를 제작하여 원래의 DEM과 복원된 DEM의 지형표현 정도를 비교 분석하였다. 분석한 결과, 기존의 방법으로 제작된 DEM은 미지형적인 요소들이 거의 표현되지 않았다. 본 연구에서 개발된 방법은 습지, 사력퇴, 하천주변의 지형, 농경지, 제방, 하안단구, 인공지물 위치가 비교적 잘 표현되었다. 본 연구는 중소규모의 저기복 구릉대나 평야지대의 미지형분류와 분석, 하천 주변 미지형복원이 필요한 생태 및 환경분야 연구에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.
