Spatio-temporal projection of evapotranspiration over croplands would be useful for assessment of climate change impact and development of adaptation strategies in agriculture. Potential evapotranspiration (PET) and dryness index (DI) during rice growing seasons were calculated using climate change scenario data provided by the National Institute of Meteorological Research (NIMR). A data processing tool for gridded climate data files, readGrADSWrapper, was used to calculate PET and DI during the current (1986-2005) and future (2006-2100) periods. Scripts were written to implement the formulas of PET and DI in R, which is an open source statistical data analysis tool. Evapotranspiration in rice fields ($PET_{Rice}$) was also determined using R scripts. The Spatio-temporal patterns of PET differed by regions in Korean Peninsula under current and future climate conditions. Overall, PET and $PET_{Rice}$ tended to increase throughout the $21^{st}$ century. Those results suggested that region-specific water resource managements would be needed to minimize the risk of water loss in the regions where considerable increases in PET would occur under the future climate conditions. For example, a number of provinces classified as a humid region were projected to become a sub-humid region in the future. The Spatio-temporal assessment of water resources based on PET and DI would help the development of climate change adaptation strategies for rice production in the 21st century. In addition, the studies on climate change impact would be facilitated using specialized data tools, e.g., readGrADSWrapper, for geospatial analysis of climate data.

Remote Sensing has been very useful tool in monitoring of cities and updating of GIS database compare to traditional methods due to its benefit; wide range covering on low cost and advanced data collection. However it had come to a limited method in limited researches because of its relatively poor spatial resolution in scanning. Recently launched satellites are able to produce improved imageries, and new commercial services have been commenced for the use of general public with higher spatial resolution up to $1m{\times}1m$. This study tackled a potential use of these improved satellite imageries in urban planning based on the Multi-temporal satellite imagery with particular reference to monitoring on urban areas, for example urbanization and its expanding. i) Portion of individual features and elements in each pixel of satellite imagery was computed based on 'Endmember' of targeted elements. ii) Urbanized areas were categorized based on the 'Fraction imagery' derived from the 'SMA algorithm'. iii) Alterations and expanding of urban areas were identified based on the Multi-temporal satellite imageries. Tested method showed a strong potential to produce more advanced monitoring skills of urban areas.

This paper demonstrates Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) has to be applied for development projects with regard to the ecological, economical and social aspects before any decisions made in the project. Korea has confronted various environmental problems during the last fifteen years, even though EIA has been enacted since 1981. The role of impact assessment in planning and policy processes should be emphasized to investigate the magnitude and intensity of the adverse influences of economic development. In the Seoul Metropolitan Region, it is necessary to apply EIA all urban projects to reduce the adverse effects of urbanization. Special attention should be given to the climatological effects throughout the urbanization process in Korea to keep the urban area energy-efficient. This study intends not only to establish basic data for national-and regional-based land-use policy in the environmental aspects, but also to provide the basic data for the possible climate model (scenarios) that may provide spatial and temporal variability by analyzing the actual climatic record. There is a noticeable impact of urbanization on the atmospheric environment in the Seoul Metropolitan Region. In this sense, the climatic aspect must be taken into consideration in the process of EIA to mitigate the well-known climatic alterations of urbanization. Moreover, the techniques of assessment should be improved by developing geo-reference data sets to build models of the global climate in response to the man-made environmental change.

Since the human civilization, people's livelihood is dependent on natural resources primarily on forest. Human dimensions such as population, poverty, agricultural expansion and infrastructure development are some of the underlying factors and their interrelated associations which could play a vital role in deforestation and forest degradation. This process is not only related to the human population but also connected to the various socioeconomic factors. This paper focuses to link the spatio-temporal extent of population, poverty incidence and forest dependency and their severity on Terai forest of Nepal. Secondary data on censuses were used. ArcGIS and descriptive statistics were also used for data analysis. Based on analysis & literature review we concluded that population, poverty and forest dependency have largely expanded over time in Terai and their interrelated associations substantively influence on deforestation. However, the direct relationship of such factors with deforestation and forest degradation found to be incompatible, complex and hard to perceive with fragmented and inconsistency censuses data. So, deforestation and forest degradation issues intertwined with socioeconomic factors need detailed analysis to comprehend where these linkages are still unravel.

A terrestrial LiDAR was used to acquire precise and high-resolution topographical information of Malipo beach, Korea. Terrestrial LiDAR and RTK-DGPS (VRS) were mounted on top of a survey vehicle and used to scan 20 times stop-and-go method with 250 m spacing intervals at ebb tides. In total, 7 measurements were made periodically from 2008 to 2009 and after each beach replenishment event. We carried out GIS-based 3D spatial analysis such as slope and volume calculations in order to assess topographical changes over time. In relation to beach replenishment, comparative analysis of each volume change revealed them to be similar. This result indicates that the terrestrial LiDAR measurements are accurate and can be used to analyze temporal topographical changes. In conclusion, the methodology employed in this study can be used efficiently to exercise coastal management through monitoring and analyzing beach process such as erosion and deposition.

Recently, various new devices have been introduced, which are capable of quickly measuring river hydrodynamic and morphologic features in the very broad riverine area. These devices are changing paradigm of understanding river characteristics in terms of data-driven aspect rather than the conventional numerical modeling approaches based on the limited field observations. This paper demonstrates the representative features and applications of the several recent riverine devices such as ADCP, LSPIV, MBES and ABL. In addition, the paper introduces an example of river information system that incorporates and relates such two- and three-dimensional hydrodynamic and morphologic data on top of geographic information system, where their spatio-temporal variations are also able to be tracked.

최근 GPS를 이용한 위치기반서비스(LBS)는 일상생활의 큰 변화를 가져왔다. 이러한 LBS 중에서도 가장 흔히 접할 수 있는 것이 차량 항법용 장치인 네비게이션이다. 초창기의 네비게이션이 단순히 목적지까지 가기 위한 가장 짧은 도로를 안내해 주는 것이 목적이었다면 최근에는 TPEG과 같은 실시간 교통 상황 안내, 이용자 선호도를 고려한 경로탐색, 에코 드라이빙과 같은 좀 더 높은 수준의 서비스가 개발되고 있다. 하지만 현재의 차량항법 시스템은 교통상황 안내 이외에는 현실적인 도로상황 반영이 어렵고 시간대별 통행량의 차이가 큰 국내 교통상황에 대한 고려가 미흡하다. 또한 교통정보 수집장치가 설치되지 않은 도로는 교통상황 안내마저도 제공되지 않는다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 임베디드 DBMS를 이용하여 과거 통행이력정보를 저장하고 활용할 수 있도록 도로망 DB스키마를 정의하였다. 그리고 이를 탐색경로의 소요 시간 산출에 활용하여 실제적인 도로상황을 고려한 경로안내 방법을 제안한다. 실제주행이력은 네트워크 데이터의 링크단위로 관리되며 저장된 주행이력은 경로탐색에 필요한 정보인 진입시각, 진출시각, 요일, 통행횟수로 관리된다. 이렇게 단말기에 저장된 주행이력은 중앙DB를 통해 사용자간 공유가 가능하고 향후에는 실시간 동기화를 통해 더욱 신뢰도 높은 경로탐색에 활용될 수 있다.

Exact estimation of evapotranspiration is important to understand natural phenomena and social issues associated with the climate such as irrigation scheme, reservoir water management, and many other meteorological and climatological problems. To overcome limits of point measurement of evapotranspiration, several models have been developed through the techniques of remote sensing and Geographical Information System. SEBAL model is one of them, based on the energy balance equation, and it has a lot of advantages such as that it requires relatively small empirical relations. In this study, the SEBAL model has been calibrated and validated in Geumgang upper basin, Bochung-stream basin, Korea with 5 satellite images Landsat 5 TM. In validation, the results of SEBAL model were compared with those by Merton method. After validation, the spatial and temporal characteristics of the distribution of evapotranspiration within the basin were analyzed with 3 factors, the aspect of slope, the angle of slope, and the land cover.

서울은 인구 1000만이 넘는 세계적인 대도시로 발전하였다. 1970년대 이후로 급속적인 경제발전과 더불어 서울의 도시화는 급속히 이루어졌으며 이에 따른 인구집중 역시 빠른 속도로 진행되었다. 본 연구에서는 서울과 그 주변 도시를 대상으로 인구자료와 행정구역도 그리고 Landsat 위성영상을 사용하여 인구밀도의 변화에 따른 도시의 성장형태를 분석하여 도시의 관리와 발전계획을 위한 기초 자료로 활용하고자 한다. 도시성장 분석을 위한 기존의 연구방법은 행정구역에 따른 인구밀도를 통해 수행되었으나 이는 행정구역 내에 일률적인 인구데이터의 분배로 실제 경우와 다른 해석이 가능할 수 있는 오류를 포함하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 실질적인 대부분의 인구가 도시지역에 거주한다는 가정 하에 1985년부터 2000년까지의 5년 간격의 Landsat 위성영상을 사용하여 도시지역을 추출하고 이를 기초로 행정구역 내에 포함되어 있는 도시지역에만 인구를 배분하는 새로운 방식으로 인구밀도의 변화 추이를 나타내었다. 연구결과 기존에 방법에서는 발견되지 않았던 서울의 확장형태를 알 수 있었으며 또한 인구데이터의 경계현상을 Pycnophylactic 보간 알고리즘을 통해 제거함으로써 보다 실질적인 도시지역 인구밀도의 변화를 알 수 있었다. 이러한 인구밀도의 변화는 도시의 성장과 밀접한 상관관계를 갖기 때문에 이를 통해 서울 및 주변도시의 성장 형태를 확인할 수 있었다. 마지막으로 4장의 서울-경기 도시지역의 인구밀도 변화도를 제작하여 GIS를 이용한 관련 분야의 활용에 도움이 되고자 한다.
