This study analyzed the ecological characteristics of the wetland protection area at tthe Nakdong River through vegetation and biota surveys, which showed that brackish water meets fresh water, a unique ecological environment has been created, biodiversity is high, and diverse habitats are distributed. Eleven plant communities, including four woody communities and seven grass communities, are distributed along the coast, and a total of 514 species, including 11 endangered wildlife species, were identified in terms of species diversity. Among them, the species diversity of the Eulsuk-do area was found to be relatively higher than that of other Barreir Islands areas. The presence of a population of Sterna albifrons on Sinja-do and a population of Eremias argus on Jinwo-do, an area outside the boundaries of the wetland protection area, confirmed the conservation value of the wetlands and the need to expand the boundaries of the wetland protection area. It is judged that this information can be used as basic information for a systematic conservation and management plan for the wetland protection area at the Nakdong River Estuary and as basic data to support the establishment of a policy.

This study was conducted to prioritize land purchase in Hwapocheon wetland protection area by reflecting the conservation value of wetlands considering HSI(Habitat Suitability Index) for flagship species. As a result of this study, the flagship species, Oriental White Stork and Been Goose, which can represent the Hwapocheon wetland protection area, were selected through selection criteria and expert feedback. Based on the habitat requirements of the selected flagship species, SI(Suitability Index) for the flagship species was reviewed and the conservation value of wetlands was assessed. The conservation value of the wetlands was divided into five grades from very high to very low. The areas with high conservation value were mainly distributed around wetlands and waters in upstream and downstream of Hwapocheon wetland protection area. The land purchase priorities were divided into five grades by overlapping the thematic maps of the conservation value of wetlands, the economics, and the urgency of restoration. The arable lands which can disrupt wetland ecosystems are analyzed as priority areas where priority purchasing is required. Relatively well-preserved wetlands and areas have low land purchase priorities. This study is meaningful in that biodiversity is considered in land purchase priorities.

In order to investigate the topography and exposure duration of the Siheung tidal flat, tidal ranges and DEM constructed by remote sensing techniques were analyzed. A cross-sectional diagram of the intertidal area reveals that it is relatively flat in the upper zone and then abruptly plunges into the bottom of the main channel where elevations increase in an upstream direction. The waterline during the Highest Low Water (HLW) is drawn back to the bottom of the channel at the middle part of the tidal flat and is formed along the slant of the channel during the Lowest High Water (LHW). The intertidal zone is located between -410 cm and 510 cm in terms of elevation and its total area is $0.65km^2$. An area between the Highest High Water (HHW) and Lowest High Water (LHW), occupying about 80% of the total area, occupies $0.52km^2$ of total area and accounts for 56% of the exposure duration. The boundary of wetland protection area in the Siheung tidal flat did not exactly coincide with the intertidal regime and differs by more than 15%. This study, which precisely analyzed the tidal flat area, tidal environment, and topography, would be useful in making a conservation plan and in learning how to use a wetland protection area in a sustainable manner.

Groundwater is the main source of water on which relies many countries in case of emergency, this is the case of Japan in 2011 after the great Sendai Earthquake. This important resource is found to be heavily influenced by human induced factors such as wetland area reduction. For groundwater sustainable management in perfect cohesion with wetland it is important to understand the relationship between both resources. Wetlands have a strong interaction with both groundwater and surface water, influencing catchment hydrology and water quality. Quantifying groundwater-wetland interactions can help better identify locations for wetlands restoration and/or protection. This study uses observation data from piezometers and wetland to study the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the correlation. Groundwater level, wetland area, chemical, organic and inorganic contaminants are the important parameters used. the results proved that few contaminants in the wetland are found in groundwater and in general the wetland quality does not affect that much groundwater quality. The strong linear relationship found between wetland water level and nearest groundwater level proved that, in term of quantity, groundwater and wetland are strongly correlated. While wetland becoming dry, groundwater level has dropped in the region about 0.52m. The area of wetland was found to be lightly correlated with groundwater level, proving that wetlands dry has contributed to groundwater level declining. This study has showed that whilst rainfall variability contributed to the decline and loss of wetlands, the impacts from landuse changes and groundwater extraction were likely to be significant contributors to the observed losses.

상주 공검지는 8세기에 축조된 고대 유적 저수지로서 습지보호지역으로 지정되어 있다. 이곳에서 지속가능한 보전 전략을 수립하는데 필요한 기초자료를 수집하기 위하여, 현존 식생을 분류하고 식생도를 작도하며 식생의 구조적 특징을 파악하고 환경과의 관계를 규명하였다. 공검지 습지보호지역에서는 저습지, 하천, 산림, 초지, 농경지, 과수원 식생에 속하는 총 26개 식물군집이 분류되었다. 탈경향대응분석 (detrended correspondence analysis) 결과에 따르면 습지 식생의 구조는 주로 수심과 인간 교란에 따라서 영향을 받았다. 저수지 습지에서는 통발, 마름과 같은 부수식물과 연꽃, 부들류와 같은 정수식물이 수면을 완전히 피복하고 있었다. 2014년 이후에 점차 정수식물과 습생식물의 분포 면적이 늘어나는 육역화가 빠르게 진행되고 있었다. 습지보호지역의 지속가능한 보전과 복원을 위하여, 지형과 식생을 복원하고, 수문 체계를 회복시키며, 습지로부터 산지까지의 생태계 연결성을 회복한 것이 필요하다고 생각된다.

본 연구는 습지보호지역인 장도습지에 대한 식생의 다양성과 공간적 분포 특성 파악을 통해 습지의 보전 및 복원 방안 마련의 기초자료 제공을 위해 이루어졌다. 종조성을 기반으로 하는 Z.-M. 학파의 식물사회학적 연구 방법에 의한 식생 조사 및 버드나무의 매목 조사, 좌표결정법에 의한 식물군락과 환경요소들 간의 관계 규명이 이루어졌다. 총 88종으로 이루어진 7개의 식물군락이 분류되었으며 습생식생과 건생식생으로 대분류되었다. 식물군락의 공간적 분포는 일차적으로 토양 수분조건에 의해 결정되고, 이차적으로 유기물 양에 의해 결정되는 것으로 드러났다. 습지식생 면적은 $7,337m^2$로서 습지보호지역의 약 8%이며, 습지보호지역 이외의 공간에도 분포하고 있어 보호지역 경계 재조정 필요성이 제기되었다. 버드나무의 분포 확산은 1990년대 이후 휴경과 가축 방목이 통제 되면서 습지 가장자리부터 중앙부로 확장된 것으로 드러났다. 이상의 연구 결과들을 토대로 보호지역 보전 및 복원 방안이 제시되었다.

This study was conducted to utilize as basic information for the construction of conservation and estimation system for Palustrine wetland, which was badly managed and imprudently reclaimed, through the analysis of distribution characteristics and the estimation of conservation value for sample sites (eight wetlands) in rural area. As the result of wetland type classification, these wetlands was classified by 4 types (Permanent freshwater marshes/pools, ponds, Aquaculture ponds, and Seasonally flooded agricultural land) by Ramsar system, 3 types (Emergent Wetland, Aquatic Bed, and Scrub-Shrub Wetland) by NWI (Cowardin) System, 5 types (Farm Pond Depression, Under-flow wetland, Man-made Pond Depression, Abandoned Paddy Fields Wetland, and Reservoir Shore) by National Wetland's Categorical System, and 3 types (Aquatic Bed Wetland, Emergent Wetland, and Forested Wetland) by Lee (2000) System. These results suggest us developing the new type classification system for small Palustrine wetland in Korean rural areas. The score of function assessment (The Modified RAM) for small Palustrine wetlands was high at the wetlands nearby hills and rice paddy fields, and low at those nearby upper fields, which was mainly affected by land-use and vegetation. The functions as 'Flood/Storm Water Storage', 'Runoff Attenuation', 'Water Quality Protection' were resulted by the structural difference of inflow and outlet. Some functions as 'Wetland size', 'Wetland to immediate watershed ratio', 'Presence of boat traffic', 'Maximum water depth', 'Fetch of water's body' of RAM were not appropriate in evaluation of small wetlands in rural area. Which suggest us developing the new function assessment system for small Palustirne wetland in Korean rural areas.

본 연구는 갯벌의 생태계 및 환경 현황, 갯벌 주변의 사회경제적 이용현황, 지역주민 설문조사 등의 다양한 자료를 활용하여 갯벌을 관리유형별로 구분하였고 이에 대한 기본 관리방안을 도출하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 간의 사회경제활동과 환경과의 관계를 규명하기 위해 채택한 압력-상태-대응 구조(PSR 구조)를 활용하였고, 갯벌 유형을 보호습지대상지역, 습지개선지역, 이용조정지역으로 구분하였다. PSR 평가체계를 활용하여 보호습지대지역은 34개, 습지개선지역은 26개, 이용조정지역은 9개의 단위 갯벌로 나타났다. 갯벌 관리의 기본방향은 갯벌 유형에 따라 지역의 특성을 고려하여 구체적인 방안을 달리하여야 할 것이다. 보호습지대상지역은 습지보호지역 지정시 우선적으로 검토되어야 하며 갯벌목록 및 모니터링을 통해 지속적인 연구와 관리계획 수립이 이루어져야할 것이다. 습지개선지역은 자연상태로 개선이 가능한 곳으로 판단되는 지역이고 이를 위해 압력요인 완화와 복원이 이루어져야 할 것이다. 이용조정지은 보전 및 개선의 필요성이 낮은 지역으로 심각한 위협을 줄 수 있는 이용행위의 조정이 필요한 지역이다. 그러나, 기본적으로 갯벌의 보전과 장기적으로 지속가능한 이용에 우선순위를 두어 관리방안을 마련하는 것이 중요하다.

A wetland is an ecosystem which is the most useful and highly-energetic transition area. This study has been carried out to develop the wetland function assessment methods and apply on the natural wetlands (Mul-young-ari wetland in Jeju-island and Bangdong wetland in Taejon Metropolitan city) using RAM (Rapid Assessment Method). The RAM is useful method for assessing the wetland functions in terms of general functions acquired by once or twice onsite surveying. Eight functions of 2-12 variables each are analyzed for assessing the wetland functions. The results are as follows : 1) The conservation values of two wetlands are "High". 2) In Mul-young-ari wetland, such functions as groundwater discharge, floral diversity and wildlife habitat, shoreline/stream bank protection are relatively high, but some functions such as flood/storm water storage, aesthetics and recreation are "Moderate" - "High". 3) In Bangdong wetland, such functions as floral diversity and wildlife habitat, groundwater discharge, flood/storm water storage, aesthetics and recreation are high, and another functions are "Moderate" - "High". The taxonomy of this study stems from assessing functions of inland wetlands using indices of RAM. So It is needed that consequent studies are to be performed with verifying the variables and indices.
