In this study, we investigated carabid beetles residing in the wetlands to understand their ecological adaptation and strategy selection associated with restricted resources and habitat limitation. The species richness, abundance, seasonal activity, and spatial distribution of the carabid beetles between the Mujechi Wetlands (wetland sites) and Mt. Jeongjok (mountain sites) have been compared. A total of 1,733 individual beetles from 30 species were collected and classified at the studied sites. The wetland sites were identified as having lower species richness and abundance for carabid beetles when compared with the adjacent mountain sites, whereas these beetles were observed to be dominant in the wetland sites than in the adjacent mountain sites. Calosoma inquisitor cyanescens, Carabus sternbergi sternbergi, and Carabus jankowskii jankowskii species were dominant in both the wetland and mountain sites. These species showed significantly different seasonal activity patterns in the wetland sites relative to the mountain sites. Although the three listed carabid species were observed to be widely distributed throughout the wetland sites, they still showed preference for drier sites, which clearly shows a distinction in their habitats. The results of the spatial-temporal distribution of carabid beetles in the wetland sites reflect their special strategies regarding space and time partitioning for maintaining their population. The distribution patterns of carabid beetles in the wetland sites also showed the desiccation gradient and environmental changes prevalent in wetlands. Ecological surveys, which use carabid beetles in the wetlands, can then be performed when restoring wetlands and for establishing management practices for improving the habitat quality.

한국은 국토의 70%가 산지로 알려져 있으며, 대부분의 사람들은 한국을 산악국가로 인식하고 있다. 이러한 인식은 산림청의 산지 정의에 의해 발생한 것이다. 토지이용에 근거한 산림청의 산지정의에 의하면, 저고도에 분포하는 임 경지도 산지에 포함된다. 본 연구에서는 첫째, Kapos et al.(2000)의 정의에 따라 지형학적 산지를 정의하고 추출했다. 그 결과 남한, 북한, 한반도 전체에서 산지의 비율은 각각 31%, 51%, 42%이다. 그리고 300~1,000m, 1,000~2500m 구간에서 산지와 비산지의 비율은 고위평탄면과 같은 고원의 존재로 인해 차이를 보인다. 둘째, GIS를 이용한 중첩분석을 통해 지형학적 산지의 분포를 Qui and SON(2010)이 정의한 차수산지의 분포와 비교했다. 그 결과 가장 높은 차수의 산지인 5차수 산지에서도 구릉 및 평야, 비산지 지역이 존재했다. 이는 산림청의 산지정의가 학문적, 현실적, 인식론적 산지의 개념이나 물리적 속성에 의해 산지를 분류하기 위해 사용되는 지형학적 산지 정의와는 너무나 다르다는 주장이 가능하다. 그러므로 지형학적 산지정의는 향후 산지의 과학적인 관리를 위한 방법론의 발달에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The evolution of the mining-induced fracture network formed during longwall top coal caving (LTCC) has a great influence on the gas drainage, roof control, top coal recovery ratio and engineering safety of aquifers. To reveal the evolution of the mining-induced stress and fracture network formed during LTCC, the fracture network in front of the working face was observed by borehole video experiments. A discrete element model was established by the universal discrete element code (UDEC) to explore the local stress distribution. The regression relationship between the fractal dimension of the fracture network and mining stress was established. The results revealed the following: (1) The mining disturbance had the most severe impact on the borehole depth range between approximately 10 m and 25 m. (2) The distribution of fractures was related to the lithology and its integrity. The coal seam was mainly microfractures, which formed a complex fracture network. The hard rock stratum was mainly included longitudinal cracks and separated fissures. (3) Through a numerical simulation, the stress distribution in front of the mining face and the development of the fracturing of the overlying rock were obtained. There was a quadratic relationship between the fractal dimension of the fractures and the mining stress. The results obtained herein will provide a reference for engineering projects under similar geological conditions.

The accurate estimation of the buffeting response of a bridge pylon is related to the quality of the bridge construction. To evaluate the influence of wind field characteristics on the buffeting response of a pylon in a trumpet-shaped mountain pass, this paper deduced a multimodal coupled buffeting frequency domain calculation method for a variable-section bridge tower under the twisted wind profile condition based on quasi-steady theory. Through the long-term measurement of the wind field of the trumpet-shaped mountain pass, the wind characteristics were studied systematically. The effects of the wind characteristics, wind yaw angles, mean wind speeds, and wind profiles on the buffeting response were discussed. The results show that the mean wind characteristics are affected by the terrain and that the wind profile is severely twisted. The optimal fit distribution of the monthly and annual maximum wind speeds is the log-logistic distribution, and the generalized extreme value I distribution may underestimate the return wind speed. The design wind characteristics will overestimate the buffeting response of the pylon. The buffeting response of the pylon is obviously affected by the wind yaw angle and mean wind speed. To accurately estimate the buffeting response of the pylon in an actual construction, it is necessary to consider the twisted effect of the wind profile.

To study the relationship between the concentrations of nitrogen in mountain streams, and anthropologic and natural factors, the water chemistry of the mountain streams in the entire Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, were investigated. A thousand mountain streams were investigated between 1998 and 2001. The concentrations of nitrate nitrogen ranged from 2.92 to 0.1 mg/L, with an arithmetic mean value of 0.45 mg/L. A number of streams showing more than 1.0 mg/L of nitrate nitrogen accounted for 8% of the mountain streams investigated. These results indicated that the concentrations of nitrate nitrogen in the mountain streams were low in the entire Hyogo Prefecture. In general, the mountain stream water in Hyogo Prefecture appears to not have been affected by wet and dry deposition originating from anthropologic sources in mountain streams and Japan. On the other hand, sites with more than 0.8 mg/L nitrate nitrogen were distributed over the entire Hyogo Prefecture, which were classified into five groups. Each group showed unique geographical, geological and anthropological characteristics. No common characteristic among five groups were discover. These results suggest that the cause of high concentrations of nitrogen in mountain streams is not from a uniform set of conditions.

Development activities in forest areas are analysed based on degree of slope, altitude, land cover, and prefectures in order to improve the capacity of existing regulations of 'feasibility of forest land conversion' and 'assessment of forest land characteristics' in this research. 959 land based developments between year 2007 and 2013 have been analysed. A development site includes over 50% of forest is categorized as a forest type, degree of slope is steeper than $8.5^{\circ}$ as mountain type, and a development included in the both categories as combined type. Distribution characteristics of the above three types are analysed by development categories and regions adopting Relative Mountain Development Index(RMDI). In results, 44.94% of total development activities have been carried out in Gyeongsang Do in order of urban development, industrial complex, sports facilities, and soil and stone collection quarrying. Developments less than $0.3km^2$ which are exempt from the feasibility of forest land conversion regulation consist 86 cases of forest type, 78 cases in mountain type, and 78 cases in combined type. SAI by slope range showed the highest value of 1.55 in less than $5^{\circ}$ and the lowest value of 0.69 between $20^{\circ}-25^{\circ}$. RMDI value in Gyeongsang Do where mountain ratio is 67.05% appeared 1.17, which is 5 times more than Gangwon Do where mountain area ratio is 81.30%, and 2 times more than Chungchung Do where mountain area ratio is 51.24%. Development activities in forestland in Korea showed unequal distributions and 26% of those developments were not subjected to the feasibility of forest land conversion regulation.

Background: This study was conducted to assess the physicochemical water quality and the altitudinal distribution of low-temperature and mountain epilithic diatom (LTMD) community in Buk and Hangae streams that are located in Seorak Mountain with the height of 1708 m in Korea. And the community characteristics of LTMD found in the Buk and Hangae streams were compared to that of LTMD from the Han River system. Results: The physicochemical water qualities of Buk and Hangae streams were determined to be very clean. As a result of analyzing the community composition, 135 taxa of epilithic diatoms were determined, and 22 taxa appeared including Hannaea arcus var. subarcus which are known to have low-temperature and mountain ecological characteristics in the literatures. The relative frequencies of LTMD were 37.0~0.9% range from the upper to lower regions. Although Diatoma tenuis, Eunotia minor, and Gomphonema affine are known to be ubiquitous in streams and lakes, in this research, the three taxa were added into low-temperature and mountain epilithic diatom, since D. tenuis and E. minor appeared only in altitudes above 600 m, and G. affine had the highest relative frequency during spring and fall in altitudes above 700 m, when water temperature was around $10^{\circ}C$. Conclusions: Among the 24 taxa of low-temperature and mountain epilithic diatom (LTMD) (including the 3 taxa added in this study), 14 taxa (Diatoma hyemalis, D. mesodon, D. tenuis, Hannaea arcus, H. arcus var. subarcus, Ulnaria inaequalis, Eunotia bilunaris, E. implicata, E. minor, E. muscicola, E. silvahercynia, E. septena, Delicata delicatula, and Gomphonema affine) represented the characteristics of LTMD very well; they grow best in water temperatures below $15^{\circ}C$ in Buk and Hangae streams and Han River system.

최근 한국 사회에는 산지의 공간적 연속성을 파악하고자 하는 사회적인 요구가 높다. 이 연구는 이러한 사회적 요구를 수용하면서 한반도의 산지와 유역분수계의 공간적 특징을 효율적으로 표현할 수 있는 '산줄기 지로'의 개념을 제시하는 것이 목적이다. '산줄기 지도'란 지표면에서 일정한 고도를 가지면서 산으로 인식될 수 있는 지점들을 연결한 선을 표시한 지도이다. 이 연구에서는 먼저 우리 사회에서 전통적인 산지 인식체계로 알려져 있는 백두대간 체계가 한반도의 산지특성과 유역분수계를 얼마나 정확하게 설명하고 있는지 에 대한 검증을 실시하였다 백두대간 체계는 유역분수계의 특성을 파악하거나 산지의 연속성을 명확하게 제시하는 목적에 사용되기에는, 1)유역분수계 구분의 대표성 결여, 2)유역분수계 표현의 부정확성, 3) 산지 표현의 대표성 결여, 그리고 4) 지정학적 측면에서의 문제점 등을 안고 있다. 이러한 문제점들을 극복하기 위해 한반도의 산지와 유역분수계의 공간적 분포 특성을 정량적으로 분석하였다. 그 결과를 토대로 한반도의 산지 분포를 유역분수계의 관점 에서 계층화하여 산줄기 지도를 제시하였다. 제시된 산줄기 지도에서는 한반도에서 유역 면적이 $5,000km^2$ 이상 되는 유역분지의 분수계 중에서, 고도가 100m 이상이 되는 지점들을 연결한 선을 1차 산줄기로 규정하였다. 그 다음 차수의 산줄기들은 기준 유역면적을 매 차수마다 반분하여 산줄기를 그릴 수 있도록 설계하였다. 이 과정에서 각 차수의 산줄기 가 표현할 수 있는 각종 지형학적 특성을 제시하는 경험공식들을 개발하였다. 이러한 과정을 통해 한반도 전체 산줄기 의 분포와 특성을 필요한 목적과 표현하려는 지도의 축적에 따라 계층적으로 표현할 수 있는 토대를 마련하였다. 이 지도는 유역분수계에 근거했다는 점에서 산경표의 산줄기 체계와 유사성을 지니고 있으나, 근대 지형학의 관점에서 산지의 규모와 연속성을 보다 체계적으로 해석한 것이다. 제시된 산줄기 체계는 산지의 형성작용과 그 과정을 설명하는 교육적인 모형인 산맥체계와 뚜렷이 구별된다는 점을 유념할 필요가 있다.

This paper proposes an adaptive reclosing scheme which is based on the classification of fault patterns. In case that the first reclosing is unsuccessful in distribution system employing with two-shot reclosing scheme, the proposed method can determine whether the second reclosing will be attempted of not. If the first reclosing is unsuccessful two fault currents can be measured before the second reclosing is attempted, where these two fault currents are utilized for an adaptive reclosing scheme. Total harmonic distortion and RMS are used for extracting the characteristics of two fault currents. And the pattern of two fault currents is respectively classified using a mountain clustering method a minimum-distance classifier. Mountain clustering method searches the cluster centers using the acquired past data. And minimum-distance classifier is used for classifying the measured two currents into one of the searched centers respectively. If two currents have the different pattern it is interpreted as temporary fault. But in case of the same pattern, the occurred fault is interpreted as permanent. The proposed method was tested for the fault data which had been measured in KEPCO's distribution system, and the test results can demonstrate the effectiveness of the adaptive reclosing scheme.
