Riparian management has become important as stream water quality as well as riparian ecosystem gain more public attentions. The objective of this study was to determine riparian widths based on the functions of nutrient removal and wildlife habitat protection and to apply for the Jinwee stream area as a preliminary case. Nitrogen and phosphorus filtration efficiencies were considered in water quality aspect, while the habitat radii of amphibian and reptiles were used for wildlife conservation purpose. In addition, observation of endangered species and human impact on wildlife disturbance in riparian area were also taken into account in determining riparian widths. The stream confluence zone was emphasized by doubling the riparian widths as the focal point for wildlife habitat conservation. As the results, three different levels of riparian widths were proposed depending on the major riparian functions and applied to the Jinwee stream section as the case study. The proposed method can be used to determine riparian width in other stream areas based on different functional focus, ie, water quality or riparian conservation purposes.

The urban stream include the channel and its adjacent banks, or hillslopes and it consists of various landscape elements. The riparian ecosystem is important to people. Its water is extracted for irrigation and drinking supplies. Biodiversity and many wetland species are protected here. The riparian ecosystem is diverse and needs to be preserved well. So, it is necessary to measure the features of the urban stream accurately to figure out the change of the riparian ecosystem. However, the traditional Electronic Distance Measurement(EDM) surveying is difficult to measure the curvilinear features of the stream - e, g, angle, curve. The beacon Differential Global Positioning System(DGPS) can handle to measure the curvilinear shape. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to measure the change of the river bed in urban stream accurately using realtime beacon DGPS, and ultimately to provide the basic data for identifying the change of the river ecosystem.

본 연구는 하천 유역의 정비사업 전 후의 토양유실위험도를 비교하기 위하여 GIS 및 디지타이징 자료를 토대로 수정범용토양유실공식(RUSLE)을 활용하여 분석하였다. 토양유실량을 파악하기 위하여 토지피복지도, 지형도, 토양도, 강수량 등의 자료들을 이용하였으며, 금호강 유역의 수변지역을 범위로 디지타이징한 후, 유역을 행정구역 단위로 분할하여 분석하였다. 하천 정비 전('8)과 후('16)로 토양유실이 전혀 일어나지 않는 지역(클래스 1)에서 심하게 일어나는 지역(클래스 5) 등 총 5단계로 구분하여 분석한 결과, 사업('16) 후 전체지역에 대하여 1, 5 클래스는 감소, 2~4 클래스는 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 대구와 영천은 5 클래스의 면적이 감소하였고, 경산은 5 클래스의 지역이 존재하지 않았다. 이러한 원인은 공원조성과 인공시설물 확대, 농경지 감소 등으로 인하여 5 클래스의 지역이 감소한 것으로 판단되며, 수변지역의 준설 및 공원조성을 위한 하안선 단순화는 하천 유량 및 유속에 의한 토양유실량 증가가 일어난 것으로 추정된다.

The riparian area plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance between the aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. The Korean government has recognized the importance of protecting riparian areas and has taken steps to purchase land and create ecobelt to reduce non-point source pollutants(NSPs) that can negatively impact water quality. However, selecting the catchment area and calculating the pollution load can be challenging due to the small area of the purchased land and the limitations of low-resolution DEMs. To address these challenges, this study proposes the use of unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs) to create a high-resolution DEM and calculate the pollution load through land cover analysis. This approach can provide a more accurate representation of the land use status and help to identify areas that are contributing to NSPs. The quantitative comparison of the difference in water quality improvement ecosystem services according to the scenarios of additional catchment areas shows that even land purchased for the same amount of money may have different ecosystem service values, and this was quantitatively calculated. This can be used to prioritize future land acquisition. Overall, this study's approach could provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of ecobelt in reducing NSPs and inform future efforts to protect riparian areas in Korea and beyond.

This paper describes the ecological structure and function of riparian zone, and their historical changes with land-use. The riparian zone consists of valley floor landform and riparian vegetation. The functions discussed are attenuation of sunlight energy, input of leaves and needles, contribution of woody debris to streams, and retention of flowing material out of transport. These primary functions directly or indirectly influence water and sediment qualities of streams, bars and floodplains, and thereby aquatic biota. Temporal changes in a hydrological system and riparian ecosystem were examined with reference to land-use conversin in order to understand the linkages between these two systems in Toikanbetsu River. The influences of channelization and land-use on discharge of suspended sediment and wetland vegetation was also investigated in Kushiro Marsh. These two examples suggested that the ecological functions of riparian zone have been degraded as flood control and reclamation works have expanded in the past twenty years The author proposes river restoration planning by preserving or creating landscape elements based on the concepts of sustaining physical and ecological linkages.

Riparian vegetation gives basic habitats for animal and other biological organisms. It is one of essential landscapes in river ecosystem. This floral study was conducted to give basic information for management of the Geum river ecosystem. We discovered total 69 plant communities out of 40 sites studied and mean 8 plant communities were analysed per study site. Salix koreensis and Salix subfragilis community were dominant of all communities at tree layer and Salix gracilistyla and Rubus parvifolius were dominant communities at shrub layer. Phalaris arundinacea, Phragmites japonica, Miscanthus sacchariflorus and Artemisia princeps var. orientalis appeared most as perennial grasses and Humulus japonicus, Persicaria thunbergii and Persicaria hydropiper appeared most as annual grasses. Robinia pseudoacacia, Amorpha fruticosa and Bidens frondosa were frequently present as exotic species. Grass communities were higher than tree communities because of human disturbance by artificial banks. The number of species was 182 appeared as 53 families 144 species, 34 varieties and 4 forma and mean species number was 25.5 per site. The most abundant site was Yanggang bridge site (14 vegetation association, 49 species) and the least abundant site was Namdaechon, Muju site (3 vegetation association, 12 species). We suggest that continuous riparian vegetation monitoring should be carried out to manage water environment ecologically.

수변생태벨트는 유역의 비점오염원을 저감시키고 생태적인 연결성과 건강성을 증진할 수 있는 효율적인 기법이다. 국내에서도 수변생태벨트 조성 및 관리를 위한 법적인 제도를 운영 중이나 비점오염물질 제어, 생물서식처 등 완충 기능에 유리한 하천, 호소 내의 홍수터는 제외되어 개선이 필요하다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 금강 수계 대청댐 유역을 대상으로 댐 호소의 소단위별로 댐 홍수터와 수변구역의 수질, 생태계 특성을 종합적으로 평가하는 통합형 수변생태벨트 적지 선정방안을 제시하고 분석하였다. 먼저 GIS로 대청댐 유역을 138개 소단위로 구분하고 홍수터와 인접한 수변구역을 분석하였다. 통합형 수변생태벨트 적지 선정에 영향을 미치는 생태계, 수질 영향 관련 16개의 평가인자를 선정하고 AHP분석으로 인자별 중요도에 대한 가중치를 설정하였다. 소단위에 제내·외지별, 인자별 가중치를 적용한 통합 평가를 실시하여 적지 우선 순위를 도출하였다. GIS 적지 분석을 통해 도출된 대상지들이 실제 조성에 적합한 지역인지 타당성을 판단하기 위해 5개 대상지에 대한 토지이용, 오염원, 생태적인 연계성 등에 대한 현장 검증을 시행한 결과 모든 대상지가 적정함을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 제시된 수변생태벨트 적지 분석 기법은 향후 통합적인 수변관리 정책 설정시 유용한 도구로써 적용될 수 있을 것이다. 단, 대상 댐별 특성과 현안에 따라 다양한 평가인자와 항목별 가중치 적용이 필요할 수 있다. 그리고 통합형 수변생태벨트 지역에 대해 그린-블루네트워크(Green-Blue Network) 측면을 고려한 세부적인 보전·복원방안 마련과 생태계서비스 측면의 평가 및 관련 법, 제도 측면의 상호 연계, 개선방안 등에 대해서도 추가적인 연구가 이루어져야 할 것이다.
