This study explained the historical changes in the habitat structures based on the aerial photographs (1948, 1967, 1973, 1989 and 2010) of the mid-stream reach of the Mangyeong River. The habitat structure was divided into landforms and aquatic habitats. The landform was classified into bare land, vegetated land, water surface, farmland and artificial land. The aquatic habitat was classified into natural riffle, artificial riffle, run, head wando, tail wando, mid wando, pond and chute channel. The ratio of bareland decreased, and water surface and vegetated land increased after the excavation in 1970s and since the construction of weir in 1980s. As historical changes of aquatic habitat, ratio of run decreased sharply while mid wando increased sharply. aquatic habitats such as head wando, tail wando, and pond located on bars decreased dramatically.

This paper presents the development and application of a riparian buffer zone design model(RBZDM). The model was developed as a decision-making tool for watershed management, by integrating geographic information system(GIS) and analytical hierarchy process(AHP) theory. Several factors for watershed management, such as pollution removal capacity, land aquisition cost, distribution of point and non-point pollution sources, and possibility of new pollution source location, were analyzed based on AHP theory. The vegetated buffer zone width was designed using GIS-based riparian buffer analysis. The developed model was applied to the Kyoungan Stream watershed, which is an important part of Paldang lake catchment area. The Kyoungan stream watershed was divided into sixteen subbasins. Six of them belong to the main stem, where the model was applied. Ten alternatives of buffer zone width and five hierarchial levels were designed. The relative importance and the relative preference were computed by pair-wise comparison of evaluation criteria given in hierarchial levels. The buffer zone width was determined by linear function of the given alternatives and relative preferences. From this study, it was determined that the six buffer zone widths of Kyoungan main stems would be 1,594, 1,744, 1,856, 1,782, 1,338, 1,780 meter, from upstream to downstream.

In this study, the characteristics of nonpoint pollutant outflow and contribution rate of pollution in Songya-stream mainstream and tributaries were analyzed. Further, water pollution management and improvement measures for pollution-oriented rivers were proposed. An on-site investigation was conducted to determine the inflow of major pollutants into the basin, and it was found that pollutants generated from agricultural land and livestock facilities flowed into the river, resulting in a high concentration of turbid water. Based on the analysis results of the pollution load data calculated through actual measurement monitoring (flow and water quality) and the occurrence and emission load data calculated using the national pollution source survey data, the S3 and S6 were selected as the concerned pollution tributaries in the Songya-stream basin. Results of cluster analysis using Pearson correlation coefficient evaluation and Density based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) technique showed that the S3 and S6 were most consistent with the C2 cluster (a cluster of Songya-stream mainstream owned area) corresponding to the mainstream of Songya-stream. The analysis results of the major pollutants in the concerned pollution tributaries showed that livestock and land pollutants were the major pollutants. Consequently, optimal management techniques such as fertilizer management, water gate management in paddy, vegetated filter strip and livestock manure public treatment were proposed to reduce livestock and land pollutants.

The purpose of this study is to specify the prior eco-preserve zone by establishing the eco-landscape unit on the stream corridor and evaluating the stream ecosystem in the dam basin. The fundamental ecological data was surveyed and collected through "the ecosystem project on Yongdam multipurpose dam watershed" from 2008 to 2009. The Yongdam Dam Watershed has several streams, Jujacheon, Jeongjacheon and Guryangcheon, of which the area is $930km^2$, stretching to Jinangun, Jangsugun and Mujugun Jellabukdo. In spite of being used for drinking purpose, the dam water quality and ecosystem is threatened by in-watershed pollution produced by development, golf course grounds and sports complex, etc. The landscape unit of stream corridor was zoned across by 250m, 500m, and 750m from the vicinity line of stream, which was decided to the accuracy of mapping and surveying. Types of evaluation are the Stream Corridor Evaluation(SCE) and the Vegetated Area Evaluation(VAE). In the process of SCE, several indices were analysed, fish species diversity, species peculiarity, and stream naturality. Indices for VAE were forest stand map, vegetation protection grade, species diversity and peculiarity for wild bird and mammal life. The importance of the ecological items is categorized into three levels and overlapped for specifying the prior preserve zone. The area at which legally protecting species appeared is categorized as absolute preserve area. This study might be meaningful for proposing the evaluation process of a stream corridor ecosystem, which can synthesize a lot of individual ecological surveys. We hope further research will be actively performed about the ecotope mapping which is based on a individual wildlife territory and habitats and also their relationships.

This study examined the changes of water quality in relation to distribution of hydrophytes, and the purification capacity of Zizania latifolia to improve the effluent from Munpyeong stream from March 1997 to December 1999. While the concentration of nitrogen and phosphorous in water were increased during the farming season, those decreased, during the streaming down to paddy and drainage areas. In investigated sites, the Z. latifolia was dominant community according to the development of the natural wetlands. Furthermore, it formed a large community owing to its high adaptability to environmental changes in the agriculture lands. In September, the leaves productivity of the Z. latifolia were 4,032g D.W/$m^2$and roots were 7,680gD.W/$m^2$. The purification capacity of the Z. latifolia for NH$_3$-N, $No_3$-N, and PO$_4$-P were 13.41, 17.07, and 4.58 respectively during 5 days. The results suggested that it needs to establish wetlands vegetated by hydrophytes to improve the water quality of the effluent from agricultural lands.

최근 활발한 하천개발을 통하여 하안에는 많은 식생도입이 주류를 이루고 있다. 통상 하안에 자생하고 있는 조밀한 식생은 수리학적 저항이 증가되고 통수능이 감소되어 수위상승을 초래한다. 본 논문에서는 수리 해석 모형을 활용하여 중소규모 3개소의 하천을 대상으로 자연 상태와 조밀한 식생 분포에 해당하는 11가지 조도계수 모델조건을 적용하여 수리특성 변화를 분석하였다. 각 하천별 전 구간에서 식생에 의하여 하천정비계획에서 분석된 수위보다 1.2~2.7m가 상승하는 것으로 분석되었다. 각 하천별로 계획된 여유고 0.6~1.2m를 감안하면 계획홍수 이상의 강우가 발생될 경우 적절한 대책수립이 필요한 것으로 분석되었다. 분석 결과에 의하면, 하천변 식생이 활착되면 하천의 규모, 하상경사에 관계없이 수리학적 흐름 특성은 매우 민감하게 변화되는 것을 알 수 있었다.

This study investigated the application of terrestrial light detection and ranging (LiDAR) to inspect the defects of the vegetated levee. The accuracy of vegetation filtering techniques was compared by applying filtering techniques on photogrammetric point clouds of a vegetated levee generated by terrestrial LiDAR. Representative 10 vegetation filters such as CIVE, ExG, ExGR, ExR, MExG, NGRDI, VEG, VVI, ATIN, and ISL were applied to point cloud data of the Imjin River levee. The accuracy order of the 10 techniques based on the results was ISL, ATIN, ExR, NGRDI, ExGR, ExG, MExG, VVI, VEG, and CIVE. Color filters show certain limitations in the classification of vegetation and ground and classify grass flower image as ground. Morphological filters show a high accuracy of the classification, but they classify rocks as vegetation. Overall, morphological filters are superior to color filters; however, they take 10 times more computation time. For the improvement of the vegetation removal, combined filters of color and morphology should be studied.

The Naeseong Stream is a meandering sand-bed stream flowing through mountains and has so long maintained its geomorphological uniqueness characterized by extensive braided bare bars. Recently, its long-lasting landscape has been changed due to encroachment of vegetation. In this study being a part of long-term monitoring research morphological changes of the 56.8 km long study reach of the Naeseong Stream, which occurred during the period of 2012 - 2016 were analyzed. Airborne LiDAR and terrestrial cross-section surveys were carried out. Hydrological and on-site investigation data were also collected. Among the main four sites, two bend reaches showed point bars enlarged, while along the other two straight reaches mid-channel bars were either newly formed or increased in area and height. At the highest deposition point of each bar, vertical changes which were caused by one or two times of sediment deposition amounted to 0.6 - 1.4 m. On the contrary channel bed degradation was not obvious. Overall morphological changes in the study reach were attributed to deposition of sediment which occurred during the flood in July 2016 on the bar surfaces vegetated during the precedent dry seasons. These kind of geomorphological processes are thought to be the same as those related to the existing mid-channel islands along the mid- and downstream reach of the Naeseong Stream.

수목이 존재하지 않는 하천과 비교하여 하천 내에 수목이 존재하는 경우, 수목에 의한 항력에 의하여 수위는 상승하지만 차이는 크지 않으며, 수목이 식재된 구간의 유속이 현저하게 저하되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 식재구간과 비식재구간의 현저한 유속차이는 활발한 에너지 교환에 기인한다. 이러한 특성은 하천에 여러 가지 시설물 설치 및 수목 식재 계획 수립 등에 있어 고려되어야 할 사항이다. 또한 수치해석을 통한 정확한 흐름예측을 위해서는 두 구간 사이의 합리적인 에너지 교환계수를 결정하여야 한다. 수목 식재구간과 비식재구간의 에너지교환 특성에 대한 연구는 대부분 모형식생(단순한 봉 형태 위주)을 이용한 소규모 개수로 실험장치를 이용하거나, 이론적으로 접근하고 있다. 이러한 연구는 흐름 상사 등을 고려할 때, 정성적인 분석에 그치고 있으며, 정량적인 분석을 위해서는 원형에 가까운 실험시설을 이용하는 것이 타당할 것으로 생각된다. 본 연구에서는 단면의 높이, 상단폭, 저면폭이 각각 2 m, 11 m, 3 m인 소하천에 가까운 실험수로에 관목류(왕버들)를 식재하여 실험을 수행하였다. 수로의 중앙부와 사면에 식재된 경우, 식재 패턴이 다른 경우(parallel space, staggered space) 등 다양한 조건에 대하여 흐름특성을 분석하였다. 각 경우에 대하여 배수곡선을 측정하여 흐름저항 특성을 분석하였으며, 50Hz의 자료 획득이 가능한 micro-ADV를 이용하여 횡단면의 난류량을 측정하였다. 측정된 난류량을 이용하여 전단속도의 변화, 난류에너지 변화 등을 분석하였다. 이 연구는 하천내 수목식재 계획 수립, 수치모형의 중요한 매개변수인 에너지교환계수의 합리적 결정에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

Diffuse pollution management in Korea initiated by the Ministry of Environment (MOE) resulted to the construction of pilot facilities termed Best Management Practices (BMPs). Twelve BMPs installed for the diffuse pollution management in the Kyung-An Stream were monitored since 2006. Data on the mass loading, removal efficiency, maintenance activities, etc. were gathered and utilized to conduct the evaluation of long-term performance of BMPs. The financial data such as actual construction, design and maintenance cost were also collected to evaluate the lifecycle cost (LCC) of BMPs. In this study, most of the maintenance activity was focused in the aesthetic maintenance that resulted to the annual maintenance cost of the four BMP types was closely similar ranging from 8,483 $/yr for retention pond to 8,888 $/yr infiltration system. The highest LCC were observed in constructed wetland ($418,324) while vegetated system had the lowest LCC ($210,418). LCC of BMPs was not so high as compared with the conventional treatment facility and sewage treatment plant. On the other hand, the relationship of removal efficiency on unit cost for TSS and TN was significant. This study will be used to design the cost effective BMP for diffuse pollution management and become models for LCC analysis.
