Rainfall infiltration velocity into the surface of the earth is influenced by time sequential change of the urban surface spatial structure following urban expansion, and is the key factor in determining runoff discharge. In this regard, a comprehensive assessment and understanding of surface runoff associated with land cover change, as well as the changed structure of the landscape, is required to establish landscape planning. Sustainable development, planning and maintenance of the green space inside the city, based on results of the above, are a fundamental countermeasure for relieving fragmentation of the urban green space and increasing urban flood damage, directly or indirectly. In this study, we conducted analysis of landscape structure and change of Surface Runoff Reduction Capacity (SRRC) using the land cover maps from 1975 to 2000 at the lower reaches of the Jungrang stream (LRJS). The results are expected to provide baseline data for sustainable landscape planning that is ecologically healthy and can improve SRRC during torrential rains. The results of this study are as follows. Analysis of the results showed that land cover type underwent a remarkable change in terms of the total area of farm and urban types from 1975 to 2000. The total area of farm decreased by approximately 27.05% during the 25 years, while that of urban increased by approximately 25.61%. In this regard, the results of the landscape structure assessment using FRAGSTATS showed reciprocal tendencies, which intensified fragmentation of the landscape, as measured by all 6 of the selected factors, including LPI, NP, PD, LSI, AI and PLADJ. The Runoff Curve Number (CN) value steadily increased in the results of the time series landscape change assessment of the SRRC from 1975 to 2000. Based on analysis of the changed area associated with SRRC classes, the high SRRC class 1 area showed a steady decrease in accordance with the progression of the time series land use change associated with urban development.

Taereung National Training Center is the most significant place in elite sports history of Modern Korea. There is filled with the collective memory of athletes even most of the Korean. This study interpreted an implicit meaning, symbol, action and relation to the place of memory. For this purpose were conducted open interviews and applied to the cultural valuation model. It sought to reveal the intrinsic value of cultural heritage for the conservation. As a result, the center is the cradle of elite sports, sense of kinship and Patriot on Korea. However, the site also has various places of memory where are contained intrinsic meaning and iconic symbol. For example, Wolgaegwan and rope-climbing show the place as a field of publicity for the raising of patriot on Korean. Mt. Buram training course remembers the place as a comradeship and specific training landscape for insiders, although not an official training ground. Playground means a rootage of athletes. Dormitories and champion house show the place of communication and rest as an ordinary life. Besides, gold medal, a symbol of perspiration and impression, and Dr. Min, the father of the center, are also important places of memory. This paper attempt to reveal the intrinsic values of authenticity and integrity of the modern cultural landscape. This study is an initial research about the place of memory. It will help to understand not only cultural heritage but also urban and landscape.

This paper analyzes the location, landscape elements, and outdoor space composition in the Korean Sosu seowon and Chinese Bailudong seowon. The Sosu and Bailudong seowons were designed to fit well into similar valleys, and they share the approach of Jwa hak woo myo, which means the sacrificial space is on the right and the educational space is on the left. The two seowons each have unique layout characteristics, which reflect topographical features. In the case of the Sosu seowon, the buildings have different orientations, creating a natural arrangement of structures. By contrast, in Bailudong seowon, buildings have a fixed orientation and a formal serial-parallel arrangement along five abscissa axes and one longitudinal axis. Pedestrian systems were established in both seowons, designed to reflect the hierarchical order of the buildings. The Sosu seowon adopted the pedestrian system that encouraged strolling, while the Bailudong seowon’s orthogonal circulation system was set up lengthwise, in parallel with the transverse. The component buildings used for worshiping ancestors and giving lectures, as well as the supporting spaces, were created at the start of the building process, while various other buildings were built to meet the needs of later periods. The two waterscape facilities are also very different: the Takcheongji (pond) at the Sosu seowon symbolizes clarifying the mind through study, while the Panchi (pond) at the Bailudong seowon merges with the Lishengdian (shrine) to contain and represent Confucian culture. The rock carvings at the two seowons differ in both quantity and content. However both sets of rock carvings incorporate Neo-Confucian meanings designed to encourage students to cultivate themselves. From the perspective of earlier literature, both seowons took the meaning of trees very seriously, although they planted different types of trees in their grounds.

This study using TWINSPAN and Ordination target Mt. Mireuk analyzed the relationship between vegetation and environment. In addition, direction of the succession to predict the future by examining diameter of breast height and actual vegetation and proposed vegetation landscape management plan that meets them. As a result of the classification by TWINSPAN, communities of vegetation landscapes were composed in six communities such as Quercus mongolica, Pinus densiflora, Q. variabilis, Q. serrata, Q. acutissima, P. thunbergii community. DCCA ordination analysis, and distribution of Q. mongolica community where there is high altitude and low P. densiflora community. The analysis is expected to be diameter of breast height of vegetation Mt. Mireuk result, the dense P. densiflora dominated in large objects, but the young forward the succession to a high density object and Q. mongolica community of intermediate objects progress. The vegetation landscape was subdivided into the priority management zone, core management zone, restoration management zone, and buffer management zone. In particular, the study suggests the ecotone of Mt. Mireuk, which, as it borders Mireuksaji, seems to require management to be redeveloped into a forest of world cultural heritage, should be configured into a scenery forest using Pinus densiflora. We also suggest management of visitors via year breaks for hiking roads, as well as the removal of artificial vegetation species and control of density, which will lead to succession.

The aim of this study is to improve satisfaction with Namhae coastal landscape by analysing the image and satisfaction level that visitors have of Daraengyi village. The result of study is summarized as follows. According to the analysis of image and satisfaction, ‘harmony with nature and ecology (sea and mountain)’, and ‘cleanliness of travel destination’ were evaluated highly while ‘variety of several events’, and ‘appropriacy of education program’ got a low evaluation and ‘the satisfaction level’ was found to be high. The image and satisfaction with coastal landscape variables were; experience factor; familiarity factor; variety factor; scenery factor; service factor etc. The image and satisfaction factor of the target area was found to affect overall satisfaction. It was also found that overall satisfaction differed depending on use pattern (the reason of visit, the length of one’s visit and the repeat visit intention). To improve satisfaction with coastal landscape and induce revitalization, Daraengyi village should solve the problems highlighted by the five factors, and strive for the image improvement and management development.

This research seeks ways to convert the landscape resources of rural village forest into a tourist resource. The study area was restricted to rural village forests in the city of Namwon; we selected 10 village forests using the evaluation indicators of size, landscape, accessibility, connectivity, historicity, and enhancement possibility. We selected five historic/cultural type groves among the preselected village groves as final target areas for planning and then carried out an analysis of their current status and conditions, which has been included in this research. For Naein village forests, themes concerning the winds of Inpoong-ri and the poongchinadae form of feng shui were used. For Haengjeong village forest, preferentially considered ecological of carpinus laxiflora but that introduced the Dokkaebi, which concerns village forest legends. In the Sagok village forest, the beauty of old pine trees and the champan (vice minister) forest were symbolized; in the Jeonchon village forest, the Battle of Hwangsan was symbolized by connecting it to a location in the neighboring village, the Hwangsan Battle Monument site. The themes of Walgil village forest included the historical culture of the village forest, such as Cheonikseong (a person’s name), a famed doctor who practiced good deeds, stonepiles (stacking of stones), and the pine resin delivery of the Japanese colonial era (the Japanese collected resin from the pines). The tourism resources of village forests is expected to provide residents with a amenity space for relaxation and leisure activities and visitors with a space to experience history and culture.

This plan aims to seek ways of regeneration in active utilization of local assets’ potentials such as historic and cultural resources and human resources as well as natural landscape resources of Samnye-eup, which was prosperous as the largest station town during the Joseon dynasty period and as an agricultural center around Mangyeong plain during and after the Japanese colonial era. The plan consists of the theoretical investigation, analysis of current conditions, basic concept, and business plan in the order. As for the theoretical investigation, domestic researches on the use of local assets in the context of urban regeneration and existing plans for regeneration projects were examined to come up with ways of utilizing local assets for the Samnye-eup regeneration plan. In the analysis of current conditions, specific information on Samnye-eup was collected to verify the need for the general regeneration project that embodies original projects for local asset utilization in each district. As for the basic conception, this regeneration plan envisions the reutilization of three types of storage facilities, utilizing closed grain warehouses scattered about in that region. The focus of filling ‘Farming Storages’ is to strengthen the residents’ capability through creative education customized for each generation and class based on the characteristics of the education city and in association with the local university. Second, filling of ‘Sensible Storages’ has the objective of filling the largest posthouse town in Honam region, the historic place of food plundering during the Japanese colonial era, with sophisticated cultural arts. Third, filling of ‘Food Storages’ is to establish a cooperative economic community in harmony with the local food, natural landscape, and cultural environments to overcome the general agricultural decline. The business plan includes collecting opinions from and discussing with local residents and related divisions in addition to expert forums. The filling of three types of storages are classified to the physical regeneration project, social regeneration project, and economic regeneration project, each of which forms a cycle in mutual complementation. In addition, this plan seeks synergy effects by complementing existing projects conducted by the central division and Wanju-gun.

This study presents a potential environmental design, rather than the application of the environmental design technique model, to enhance the biodiversity of desolate space. Utilizing the main theories of landscape ecology in relation to vegetation and habitat restoration models, can allow for environmental restoration and the creation of climate change adaptation models to develop existing areas with specific topographical conditions, and allow for the utilization of the ecological base as a terrain recovery plan derived from the application of environmentally friendly design. We believe that the implications of this study will allow for the future creation of urban public parks and restoration of the ecological environmentally friendly design by using applied modeling techniques. Finally, we believe the suggestions outlined here provide a pilot case that delineates the value of the shared space as well appropriately address climate change.
