This study focuses on clothing as one of the most seasonal products and investigates consumer behavior related to climate change adaptation. This study addressed four objectives: (1) to identify the clothing behavior of consumers for the adaptation to climate change; (2) to identify the effects of fashion involvement and climate sensitivity on clothing attitude for the adaptation to climate change; (3) to identify the effect of clothing purchase time on climate sensitivity and clothing attitude for the adaptation to climate change; and (4) to identify the effect of consumer demographics on climate sensitivity and clothing attitude for the adaptation to climate change. A survey questionnaire was developed and implemented to collect data for measuring clothing involvement, fashion involvement, and climate sensitivity. In addition, clothing involvement, clothing assortment needs, and clothing worn for the adaptation to climate change were measured. A total of 349 responses were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA and path analysis with SPSS18.0. The results of the analysis are as follows. Changes in temperature were considered more important than changes in weather for the functional needs of clothing, purchase needs, and assortment items needs. The assortment items wearing for the adaptation to climate change varied depending on the temperature and weather. Fashion involvement directly influenced clothing assortment needs and indirectly influenced the clothing worn for the adaptation to climate change. In terms of clothing purchase time, those purchasing clothing before the season begins, tended to have a high fashion involvement and clothing attitude for the adaptation to climate change. Those in their twenties and single, tended to be more sensitive to climate change. This study also discusses the implications for merchandising strategies.

Climate change effects are particularly apparent in many cool-season grasslands in South Korea. Moreover, the probability of climate extremes has intensified and is expected to increase further. In this study, we performed climate change vulnerability assessments in cool-season grasslands based on the analytic hierarchy process method to contribute toward effective decision-making to help reduce grassland damage caused by climate change and extreme weather conditions. In the analytic hierarchy process analysis, vulnerability was found to be influenced in the order of climate exposure (0.575), adaptive capacity (0.283), and sensitivity (0.141). The climate exposure rating value was low in Jeju-do Province and high in Daegu (0.36-0.39) and Incheon (0.33-0.5). The adaptive capacity index showed that grassland compatibility (0.616) is more important than other indicators. The adaptation index of Jeollanam-do Province was higher than that of other regions and relatively low in Gangwon-do Province. In terms of sensitivity, grassland area and unused grassland area were found to affect sensitivity the most with index values of 0.487 and 0.513, respectively. The grassland area rating value was low in Jeju-do and Gangwon-do Province, which had large grassland areas. In terms of vulnerability, that of Jeju-do Province was lower and of Gyeongsangbuk-do Province higher than of other regions. These results suggest that integrating the three aspects of vulnerability (climate exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity) may offer comprehensive and spatially explicit adaptation plans to reduce the impacts of climate change on the cool-season grasslands of South Korea.

본 연구는 대표적인 아고산식물인 동일속 식물 구상나무와 분비나무의 기후변화 민감성 평가에 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 종 분포 모형을 이용하여 현재 및 미래의 종 분포 확률을 예측하였고 기후변화 민감성 평가를 하였다. MTSS를 기준으로 예측된 잠재 분포지는 분비나무가 구상나무보다 감소율이 많았으며, 스칼라 민감도를 이용한 평가에서는 구상나무의 민감도가 분비나무보다 높았다. 본 연구와 같은 종 분포 모형을 이용한 연구에서는 위치자료 및 환경변수에 따라 종 분포 확률이 달라질 수 있으므로 연구 대상종의 생태 환경에 대한 면밀한 조사가 선결되어야 하며, 본 연구를 기초로 하여 국내에 적용 가능한 기후변화민감성 평가 방법이 개발된다면 기후변화와 생물 다양성 적응 정책의 중요한 의사결정 수단이 될 것으로 기대한다.

This study reports an examination of the sensitivity of water resources in the Keum River basin to climate change. Assuming a doubling in $CO_2$ concentrations, a cooperative study provided four climate change scenarios for this study, which have been translated into temperature and precipitation scenarios on a basin scale. The study utilized these temperature and precipitation data for each climate change scenario as inputs to the NWS-PC model to generate the corresponding streamflow scenario over the Keum River basin. A reservoir simulation model for the Dae-Chung Dam in the Keum River basin has been developed with an object-oriented simulation environment, STELLA. For each streamflow scenario, the performance of the reservoir was assessed in terms of reliability, resiliency, and vulnerability. Although the simulation results are heavily dependent on the choice of the climate change scenarios, the following conclusions can be clearly concluded: (1) the future streamflow over the Dae-Chung Dam tends to decease during the dry period, which seriously increases competitive water use issues and (2) flood control issues predominate under the $2CO_2$-High case.

The impacts of climate change on soil moisture in sub - Arctic watershed simulated by using the hydrologic model. A range of arbitrary changes in temperature and precipitation are applied to the runoff model to study the sensitivity of soil moisture due to potential changes in precipitation and temperature. The sensitivity analysis indicates that changes in precipitation are always amplified in soil moisture with the amplification factor for flow. The change in precipitation has effect on the soil moisture in the catchment. The percentage change in soil moisture levels can be greater than the percentage change in precipitation. Compared to precipitation, temperature increases or decreases alone have impacts on the soil moisture. These results show the potential for climate change to bring about soil moisture that may require a significant planning response. They are also indicative of the fact that hydrological impacts affecting water supply may be important in consider-ing the cost and benefits of potential climate change.

Fisheries are subject to unexpected weather condition. While some change of it may be positive for some fisheries, the current state suggests that the effects will be undesirable for many fisheries. The aim of this study is to assess the vulnerability to climate change in 11 regional fisheries of Korea using the framework of IPCC. The vulnerability assessment depends upon the interrelation of three key elements; exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity, which were derived from Analytical Hierarchy Process method in this study. These elements would contribute to comprehend relative importance at the regional characteristics of fisheries. We compared the vulnerability index of 11 regional fisheries so as to look for strategies and adaptation methods to the impacts of potential climate change. Jeoun-Nam, Kyeong-Nam, and Jeju are identified as the most vulnerable provinces to climate change on their fisheries because they have high level of sensitivity to predicted climate change and relatively low adaptive capacity. The relatively low vulnerability of Ulsan, Gyeonggi reflects high financial independence, well-equipped infrastructure, social capital in these regions. Understanding of vulnerability to climate change suggests future research directions. This paper will provide a guide to local policy makers and fisheries managers about vulnerability and adaptation planning to climate change.

본 연구는 기후변화에 대응하기 위해서 국립공원의 관리방향을 설정하고, 이에 따른 정책을 수립하기 위한 기초 자료를 제공하는 데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해서 국립환경과학원에서 개발한 기후변화 취약성 평가 도구인 LCCGIS 프로그램의 취약성 대용변수 24개를 이용하여 현재와 미래의 국립공원의 기후변화 취약성을 분석하였다. 국립공원의 기후변화 취약성에 대한 현황과 미래전망을 분석하고 평가하기 위하여 기후노출의 대용변수는 기후변화 시나리오 (RCP 8.5)를 적용하여 $1km{\times}1km$ 격자 단위의 GIS 공간주제도를 제작하여 값을 추출하고, 민감도 및 적응 능력의 대용변수의 값은 국립공원 기본 통계값을 이용하여 추출하였다. 3개의 취약성 평가항목의 값은 현재 (2010년대)와 미래 (2050년대)에 대해서 추출하였으며, 미래 예측 시나리오가 없는 민감도 및 적응 능력과 관련된 대용변수는 현재 상태가 지속된다는 가정 아래 현재의 값을 미래에도 동일하게 적용하였다. 현재 (2010년대) 기후노출은 설악산, 오대산, 지리산, 치악산국립공원이 상대적으로 크고, 미래 (2050년대)에는 지리산, 오대산, 설악산, 한려해상이 클 것으로 예상되었다. 특히, 폭염의 변화가 가장 큰 공원은 월출산국립공원이고 가뭄이 크게 변하는 공원은 계룡산국립공원이며, 월악산국립공원이 폭우의 변화가 가장 클 것으로 나타났다. 국립공원 기후변화 민감도는 지리산국립공원이 가장 민감하고 적응 능력도 가장 높게 평가되었다. 민감도가 가장 낮은 곳은 가야산국립공원이고, 적응 능력은 치악산국립공원이 가장 낮았다. 기후변화 취약성은 설악산, 오대산, 치악산, 덕유산, 한려해상국립공원이 현재시기에 높게 평가되었고, 미래 취약성의 변화가 큰 공원은 지리산, 월악산, 치악산, 소백산국립공원 순으로 전망되었다. 전반적으로, 국립공원의 기후변화 취약성을 평가하는 항목인 기후노출, 민감도, 그리고 적응 능력은 국립공원의 지역적인 기후환경에 따라서 상대적으로 차이가 나타나기 때문에 전 공원을 대상으로 획일적인 적응대책을 수립하기보다는 국립공원의 지역적인 기후환경 특성을 반영한 적응대책 마련이 필요할 것이다. 국립공원을 대상으로 기후노출, 민감도 및 적응 능력의 대용변수를 이용하여 기후변화 취약성을 평가한 본 연구의 결과는 국립공원의 지역적인 기후환경 특성을 고려한 기후변화 적응대책을 수립하는 데 기초자료로서 활용될 것으로 기대된다. 하지만 국립공원의 기후변화 취약성 평가와 관련된 연구가 거의 없는 실정에서 LCCGIS프로그램 상에서 제시되는 대용변수만을 사용하여 분석하였기 때문에, 국립공원의 전반적인 환경을 제대로 반영하지 못할 수 있다. 향후 연구에서는 국립공원의 기후변화 취약성을 평가하기 위하여 보다 적합한 대용변수의 객관적인 검토와 함께 가중치 설정에 대한 연구가 진행될 필요가 있다.

In order to assess the impact of climate change on irrigation reservoirs, climate exposure (EI), sensitivity (SI), and potential impact (PI) were evaluated for 1,651 reservoirs nationwide. Climate exposure and sensitivity by each reservoir were calculated using data collected from 2011 to 2020 for seven proxy variables (e.g. annual rainfall) and six proxy variables (e.g. irrigation days), respectively. The potential impact was calculated as the weighted sum of climate exposure and sensitivity, and was classified into four levels: 'Low (PI<0.4)', 'Medium (PI<0.6)', 'High (PI<0.8)', and 'Critical (PI≥0.8)'. The result showed that both the climate exposure index and the sensitivity index were on average high in Daegu and Gyeongbuk with high temperature and low rainfall. About 79.8% of irrigation reservoirs in Daegu, Gyeongbuk, and Ulsan with high climate exposure and sensitivity resulted in a 'High' level of potential impact. On the contrary, 64.5% of the study reservoirs in Gyeongnam and Gangwon showed 'Low' in potential impact. In further studies, it is required to reorganize the proxy variables and the weights in accordance with practical alternatives for improving adaptive capacity to drought, and it is expected to contribute to establishing a framework for vulnerability assessment of an irrigation reservoir.

기후변화 정책 분석 모델 (PAGE, Policy Analysis of Greenhouse Effect)을 이용해 여러 온실가스 배출 시나리오에 따른 기후변화의 피해 비용을 분석했다. 국내외 기후변화 영향에 관한 선행 연구 결과에 따르면 한국의 기후변화의 민감도는 경제 협력개발기구(OECD) 회원국들과 유사한 수준이 될 것으로 전망되었으나 구체적인 한국의 분야별 영향평가가 이루어져야 보다 정량적인 기후변화의 피해함수 추정이 가능할 것이다. 온실가스 배출량, 이산화황 배출량, 적응정책의 정도, 경제 성장, 인구 성장 등 많은 인자들이 기후변화로 인한 피해 정도에 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 PAGE 모델을 이용해 미래의 여러 상황에 따른 기후변화의 피해 정도를 알아보기 위하여 A2, B1, Kyoto, 3가지 시나리오에 대한 분석을 하였다. 만일 전 세계가 온실가스 감축을 위한 아무 대책도 실행하지 않는다면 2100년 한국은 약 3도 정도의 온도상승이 예측되고 이로 인해 12조에서 58조정도의 피해가 일어날 것으로 분석되었다. 1990년에서 2100년까지 기후변화로 인한 누적 피해비용은 약 143조에서 921조에 이를 것으로 분석되었다.그러나 이는 소수의 피해함수에 대한 연구결과만을 반영해 산정한 결과며 분야별로 더 많은 연구가 수행되어야 보다 신뢰도 높은 피해비용을 산정할 수 있다.

Loss of favorable habitats for species due to temperature increase is one of the main concerns of climate change on the ecosystem, and endangered species might be much more sensitive to such unfavorable changes. This study aimed to analyze the impact of future climate change on endangered wild animals in South Korea by investigating thermal sensitivity and vulnerability to temperature increase. We determined thermal sensitivity by testing normality in species distribution according to temperature. Then, we defined the vulnerability when the future temperature range of South Korea completely deviate from the current temperature range of species distribution. We identified 13 species with higher thermal sensitivity. Based on IPCC future scenarios RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5, the number of species vulnerable to future warming doubled from 3 under RCP4.5 to 7 under the RCP8.5 scenario. The species anticipated to be at risk under RCP 8.5 are flying squirrel (Pteromys volans aluco), ural owl (Pteromys volans aluco), black woodpecker (Dryocopus martius), tawny owl (Strix aluco), watercock (Gallicrex cinerea), schrenck?s bittern (Ixobrychus eurhythmus), and fairy pitta (Pitta nympha). The other 10 species showing very narrow temperature ranges even without normal distributions and out of the future temperature range may also need to be treated as vulnerable species, considering the inevitable observation scarcity of such endangered species.
