  • It is important to consider urban parks and greenery not only from the viewpoint of amenity or aesthetics but also from the viewpoint of biodiversity. In this study, we focused on bryophytes (mosses), and analyzed how existence of artificial structures in urban greeney, such as concrete curbs and stone walls, affect species diversity of bryophytes. Kyoto Gyoen in Kyoto City, western Japan, was selected as the study site. In consideration of kinds of substrates on which bryophytes grow, microhabitats of Kyoto Gyoen were divided into ten types including concrete curbs and stone walls. In each type of microhabitats, we selected the area where bryophyte diversity was highest, and established a quadrat for bryophyte flora survey. Our results showed that the number of bryophyte species and growth forms and the value of diversity indices on concrete curbs or stone walls were higher than the averages of those. The bryophyte species were divided into the four groups by TWINSPAN as follows: Group A (epiphyte species), Group B (rocky species), Group C (roadsides, grassland or forest species), and Group D (waterside species). Bryophytes classified into Group B (rocky species) were mainly recorded on concrete curbs or stone walls. It was considered that the existence of artificial structures (concrete curbs and stone walls) provided favorite habitats for the bryophytes classified into Group B (rocky species), which mainly grows on concrete or rocks, and enhanced species diversity of bryophytes in Kyoto Gyoen.

  • 도시유역의 소하천은 불투수 면적의 증가 및 우수관거의 설치로 인해 오염물질 및 강우의 유달률이 증가한 반면 침투 및 저류 기능의 감소로 인해 지하수위가 저하되어 비강우시에 현저하게 유량이 감소되어 하천환경에 심각한 문제를 나타내고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 다수의 연구에서 유역에 저영향개발기술을 제안하고 있으나 이들은 과다한 면적을 필요로 함에 따라 설치 및 유지관리에 많은 비용이 발생하고 기존에 개발되어 있는 도시유역에 적용하기 어렵다는 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 도시 소하천의 유량과 수질 문제를 저감하기 위해 위와 같은 문제점을 고려하여 하천 제외지 지하공간을 이용하여 초기 우수 제어 시스템을 개발하고자 하였다. 본 시스템은 도시유역에서 강우에 의해 초기에 오염물질이 다량으로 유출되는 소위 초기세척효과를 제어하기 위해 침전시스템을 설치하고 및 교체가 가능한 카트리지형 여과 시스템으로 구성하였다. 여과 시스템에서 섬유필터를 이용하여 수질을 개선하고 또한 침전 및 여과시스템에 저류가 가능하도록 하여 도시 소하천의 유량에 따라 방류를 조절함으로써 도시 하천의 건천화 감소에 도움이 되도록 구성하였다. 또한 초기우수 제어 시스템을 효율적으로 운영하기 위해 SWMM(Storm Water Management Model) 적용 결과와 자동모니터링 스시템을 활용하는 종합설계 및 관리시스템을 개발하고 있다. 이를 위해 시범 유역에 SWMM을 구축하고 보정 및 검증을 실시하였다. ?측 및 SWMM을 이용하여 계산한 결과 연구대상 지역에서 처리시설에서 수용할 수 있는 초기우수유출량의 적정량은 초기강우 4시간 또는 6 mm의 누적강우량으로 산정되었으며 이를 토대로 현장의 지형여건에 따라 시스템의 설계기준이 수립될 수 있다.

  • This study aimed to identify the initial migratory macroinvertebrate species in two newly created mountain wetlands. To analyze the initial immigration species of macroinvertebrates, two experimental sites and two control sites were selected after habitat creation and investigated thrice from spring to fall. Benthic macroinvertebrates were collected quantitatively from each site using a Surber sampler and Modified D-frame deep net. After restoration at the two experimental sites, the number of macroinvertebrate species and individuals gradually increased from spring to fall and continued to increase over time with the development of waterside vegetation and habitat stabilization at the experimental sites. The species initially introduced to mountain wetlands after their creation were Ephemera strigata, Ephemera orientalis, Chironomidae sp., and Aquaris paludum. Subsequently, predators such as Davidius lunatus, Sieboldius albardae, Oyamia nigribasis, and Sialis longidens were introduced. Additionally, as a differentiating physicochemical factor between the two habitats, current velocity, which determines the distribution characteristics of benthic macroinvertebrates, and water temperature, which impacts the growth of organisms, showed a relatively stronger influence.

  • The purpose of this research provides the basic solution about waterfront and promotes the inherent capability, that recoveries both the river and gives the river for water quality to improve plan. In this study, we compare and analysis the slope contact between filter media of the porous concrete and planting concrete. As a result, when appling the porous concrete, it can show the removal efficiency is SS 53%, BOD 39%, COD 20%, T-N 36% T-P 42% and appling planting concrete is SS 58%, BOD42%, COD 26%, T-N 45%, T-P 53%. Therefore, planting concrete is higher removal efficiency (SS 5%, BOD 3%, COD 6%, T-N 9%, T-P 10%) than porous concrete. The experimental results show that using purification filter media on planting concrete is better than on porous concrete, because it have the higher purification filter efficiency. The quality of water improves vegetarian concrete, that can expect the increase of the self-purification capacity and improve the spectacle for providing the waterside and planting of planting concrete. In addition, it can complete and apply the research if having enough time for experimentation and accurate study for mechanism by plant, we can use both planting concrete filter media and the existing dike. As a result, we can gain the better quality of the water of the city's rivers and good economic value, that is spread by all cities applicable technologies. So it can be expected using well for future.

  • In this study, the seismic vulnerability of public river levees was analyzed quantitatively. Input seismic waves were generated in Pohang seismic waves in return periods of 200, 500, 1000, and 2400 years. The behavior of the levee was analyzed by seismic vulnerability analysis according to the return period. The displacement that occurs during an earthquake showed the same tendency as the input seismic wave and was largest in the return period of 2400 years. An analysis of the sliding stability revealed a 31.5% and 26.7% decrease in the sliding safety factor for the return period of 2400 for the landside and waterside, respectively. An examination of liquefaction by the q/p' ratio showed that the seepage line inside the embankment rises due to earthquakes. As a result, in the case of a return period of 2400 years, most embankments generate liquefaction, making them vulnerable to earthquakes. Through this research, it will be necessary to re-establish domestic seismic-design standards and establish clear standards for the results through a dynamics method.

  • A modified electrical resistivity survey has been suggested and applied to a leakage detection problem of concrete barrage. We suggest the modified electrical resistivity methods using electrodes floating on the water and apply line current sources instead of conventional point current sources in order to facilitate simple analysis. In addition, the study introduced the following three variations of modified electrode array: Direct potential array, Parallel potential array and Cross potential array. These arrays were tested and investigated through numerical experiment, physical model experiment and geophysical field exploration in order to verify their applicability to the water leakage detection of a concrete barrage. When water leakage occurred, all kind of array operations demonstrated distinct changes of aspects of potential difference in graphs obtained by not only the numerical and physical model experiments but also geophysical field exploration. Therefore, this modified electrode arrays of electrical resistivity survey, which has been adapted to the concrete barrage, has been found to be a useful method to detect water leakage.
