This research is primarily intended to propose a new concept for aggregate control of impervious coverage using remote sensing and GIS. An empirical study for a case study site was conducted to demonstrate how a standard remote sensing and GIS technology can be used to assist in implementing the aggregate control for impervious coverage as intermediary between decision makers and scientists. Guidelines for a replicable methodology are presented to provide a strong theoretical basis for the standardization of factors involved in the aggregate control; the meaningful definition of land mosaic in terms of pervious areas, classification of pervious intensity, change detection for pervious areas. Detailed visual maps (e.g. estimation of impervious surface allowable) can be generated over large areas quickly and easily to increase the scientific and objective decision-making for the aggregate control. It is anticipated that this research output could be used as a valuable reference to confirm the potential of remote sensing and GIS in the aggregate control for impervious coverage.

불투수율은 물, 공기, 자연 생태계 등 전체 환경을 악화시키는 요인이 되기 때문에 도시지역의 총체적인 환경 질을 대표하는 지표로서 활용되고 있다. 본 연구는 Google Earth와 수치지도를 이용하여 대학 캠퍼스 불투수율을 정략적으로 비교 평가하는 방안을 제안한다. 경북대학교와 홍콩대학교 사례연구지역으로 선정되었으며 61cm의 공간해상도를 지닌 퀵버드 영상은 수치지도에서 추출한 레이어와 결합되어 도로, 건물, 주차장 등 세부적인 불투수면의 유형을 추출하였다. 경북대학교 캠퍼스는 도로와 주차장의 숲으로 뒤덮여 있는 것이 확인되었으며 반면에 홍콩대학교는 수목비율이 31%로 경북대보다 2배 정도 높은 것으로 평가되었다. Google Earth를 이용한 불투수면 감시기법은 동일한 데이터와 일관된 작업과정을 적용할 수 있어 다수의 조사자에 의한 주관적 판단과 대상 지역의 차이에 따른 불규칙적인 기준 적용의 문제점을 보완할 수 있는 현실적인 대안이 될 수 있을 것이다.

As urbanization proceeds and therefore impervious surface coverage increases, the amount of runoff goes up and the hydrological cycle is also changed. The surface retention and interception of precipitation in the urban area are reduced because the surface area is now slick and solid. Increasing runoff in building areas of the city causes flood damage, water pollution, reduction of ground water recharge, and the other environmental problems. This paper investigates various techniques of increasing rates in a site development performed by Berlin. The techniques offered in this paper improve sit water balance, and thus keep the site ecosystem much healthier.

The urban park has important functions as a habitat for wildlife as well as open space of rest and community for people. This study was carried out to find what factors of structure and vegetation of urban parks could affect forest bird species diversity in Cheonan city. The study surveyed bird and vegetation species in 26 urban parks, Cheonan city. A correlation analysis and multiple linear regressions were performed to test whether habitat structure and vegetation were the major correlate with species diversity. The results showed the Dujeong park was the most high bird species diversity (H' = 2.13), and the Dujeong-8 park (H' = 2.02) and the Cheongsa park (H' = 1.73) were considerably higher than the other urban parks. The variables that were strongly correlated with bird species diversity were park area, number of subtree species, canopy of shrub, number of shrub species, shape index, canopy of subtree, canopy of tree, and impervious surface ratio. The regression of bird species diversity against the environmental variables showed that 3 variables of park area, canopy of subtree, and canopy of tree were included in the best model. Model variable selection was broadly similar for the 5 optimal models. It means park area and multi-layer vegetation were the most consistent and significant predictor of bird species diversity, because urban parks were isolated by built-up areas. Especially the subtree coverage that provides shelter and food for forest birds was an important variable. Therefore, to make parks circular-shaped and abundant multi-layer vegetation, which could be a buffer to external disturbances and improve the quality of habitats, may be used to enhance species diversity in creation and management of urban parks.

On the urban scale, Micro-climate analysis models for urban scale have been developed to investigate the atmospheric characteristics in urban surface in detail and to predict the micro-climate change due to the changes in urban structure. BioCAS (Biometeorological Climate Impact Assessment System) is a system that combines such analysis models and has been implemented internally in the Korea Meteorological Administration. One of role in this system is the analysis of the health impact by heat waves in urban area. In this study, the vegetation cooling models A and B were developed and linked with BioCAS and evaluated by the temperature drop at the vegetation areas during ten selected heat-wave days. Smaller prediction errors were found as a result of applying the vegetation cooling models to the heat-wave days. In addition, it was found that the effects of the vegetation cooling models produced different results according to the distribution of vegetation area in land cover near each observation site - the improvement of the model performance on temperature analysis was different according to land use at each location. The model A was better fitted where the surrounding vegetation ratio was 50% or more, whereas the model B was better where the vegetation ratio was less than 50% (higher building and impervious areas). Through this study, it should be possible to select an appropriate vegetation cooling model according to its fraction coverage so that the temperature analysis around built-up areas would be improved.
