Tree canopy is a valuable component consisting of urban ecosystem. The purpose of this study was to classify urban tree canopy (UTC) by using high resolution imagery and object-oriented classification (OOC), which was used to classify the different land cover types. With an urban canopy mapping system based on OOC and Decision Tree Classification (DTC), a site mapping was carried out by merging spectral data of high resolution imagery. This methodological approach showed high classification accuracy to distinguish small patches and continuous UTC boundaries on the high resolution imagery. For shadow removal, decision tree classification with various environmental variables such as brightness channel and band combination could effectively work. Our proposed methodology can be successfully used for the assessment and restoration of fragmented urban ecosystem and offer an opportunity to obtain high classification accuracy for the distinction of UTC components in urban landscape areas.

This study was performed to grasp the introduction of Korean wild evergreen broad-leaved tree, Ternstroemia gymnanthera, as a plant of indoor garden, and to figure out the light-adaptability under the four types indoor lighting and to provide the introduction plan. The experimental plants, Ternstroemia gymnanthera was purchased from the farmhouse in Jeju-do as a year plant, and it was experimented after the acclimation in the glass-green house of general farm of Gyeongnam National University of Science and Technology for 40 days. The experiment was performed for 1 year more from September 10, 2014 to September 30, 2015. The results of the experiment are as follows. When Ternstroemia gymnanthera is introduced as a plant of the indoor garden, the optical fiber, fluorescent lamp, and LED light in order are suitable to introduce as the proper lighting. In the case of the three-wave light, the growth and development was the worst among the 4 introduced lighting systems, therefore, the growth of Ternstroemia gymnanthera under the three-wave light was incongruous generally. The withering appearance was existed seriously by 500lux. Some leaves were fallen off, but generally smooth growth and development was done in the range of the 1,000lux to 2,000lux. The best intensity for the growth was under the condition of the 1,000lux. When the fluorescent lamp, and LED light are introduced, the most proper luminous intensity is the 2,000lux. When the optical fiber is introduced, the most efficient intensity is the 1,000lux. Generally the smooth growth and development is done under the more luminous intensity. As the result, the wild Ternstroemia gymnanthera is the species of tree to substitute the Ficus benghalensis, or Ficus retusa which is the foreign species, as a central tree or upper tree as well as pot tree, and it is expected to introduce sufficiently as a plant of the indoor garden.

Freesia is one of the most popular flowers over the world including Korea, due to the fragrance and beauty of the plant flower. The first domestic freesia cultivar ‘Shiny Gold’ was developed by NIHHS, RDA, in 2003, which has yellow double and large petals and strong fragrance. Ten years have passed since ‘Shiny Gold’ was cultivated at floral farms, and the deterioration of cut flower quality and yield are reported from the farms. Virus infection causes a reduction in the quantity and quality of the cut freesia flowers and is one of the most serious problems in Korea. Virus detection was carried by reverse transcription polymer chain reaction (RT-PCR) for FreMV, FreSV, BYMV, CMV, and TRV, as known to infect freesia. FreMV, FreSV, BYMV, and TRV were detected single or multiply, and CMV was not found in the freesia leaves collected from the farms. To produce virus-free freesia, meristem culture of ‘Shiny Gold’ was conducted in MS medium added ribavirin at different concentration. As the increased of ribavirin concentration, the growth of ‘Shiny Gold’ plantlets was inhibited in freesia’Shiny Gold’. The plantlets produced by meristem culture in ‘Shiny Gold’ were virus free at the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) level.

This paper presents a study to identify the relationship between vegetation phenology and landslide using remote sensing to access landslide prone areas in an event of an earthquake. A landslide triggered after the April 2015 earthquake in Manaslu Conservation Area in Gorkha District of Nepal was used as a study site. The method proposed in the paper uses pre- and post-event LANDSAT8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) images and uses Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) for understanding the correlation between vegetation phenology of the study site to the landslide. Comparative study of the result shows lower NDVI mean value after the earthquake and shows that a slope with NDVI mean value lower than 0.247 could be landslide prone. Implication of the result, if confirmed, could aid in identifying landslide prone areas and implementing mitigation programs to either re-vegetate the slope or relocate residents directly under threat.

With the object of examining the effects of horticultural therapy based on structural recall by developmental stage on cognitive, emotional, and hand functions of institutionalized elderly, this study executed a horticultural therapy program once a week and through a total of 14 sessions during the period from May 2 to December 5, 2013. The subjects of this study were 34 elders admitted to S Geriatric hospital for geriatric diseases, and they were divided into a control group and an experimental group. Because the program was designed for institutionalized elders who were able to do only indoor activities, it provided various seasonal horticultural activities that could be done even in a limited space by giving materials and subjects that could be recalled by developmental stage. The results of this study are as follows. As to changes in cognitive functions (MSQ) after the horticultural therapy program, the control group showed a decrease as having more negative ranks, and the experimental group showed an increase as having more positive ranks, but such changes in the control and experimental groups were not significant. As to changes in emotional functions after the horticultural therapy program, the control group showed a decrease but without significance in ego integrity as having more negative ranks, and the experimental group showed an increase with significance as having more positive ranks (P=0.020). As to the experimental group’s changes in the sub factors of ego integrity, positive ranks increased in all the sub-factors and the increase was particularly significant in satisfaction with present life (P=0.038). As to changes in life satisfaction, the control group showed increased positive ranks but without significance, and the experimental group showed significantly increased positive ranks (P=0.022). As to the experimental group’s changes in the sub-factors of life satisfaction, changes in denial of the past (P=0.029) and denial of the future (P=0.016) were particularly significant. As to changes in hand functions, both the control and experimental groups showed some improvement in pinch after the horticultural therapy program but the changes were not significant. Grip strength did not change in the control group, and in the experimental group right-hand grip strength was improved slightly more than left-hand one, the difference was not significant. The results of this study suggest that horticultural therapy based on structural recall by developmental stage is effective in improving institutionalized elders’ emotional functions and, consequently, can contribute to higher quality of life, which is the ultimate goal of elders.

The objective of the study is to establish principles of space planning required to create community gardens for improving self-support capability of vulnerable groups. The characteristics of community garden users and the purposes of community gardens were considered when setting these principles. The target users are vulnerable groups. In considering the circumstance of the homeless who have difficulties in overcoming physical, mental, social and financial risks, 13 universal design principles were applied: Equitable use, flexibility in use, simple and intuitive use, perceptible information, tolerance for error, low physical effort, size and space for approach and use, self-supporting, aesthetics, economic feasibility, environment friendly, healthiness, and sustainability. As the space planning principles based on the community garden purposes are set to achieve mental, social and financial self-support, healing garden and urban agriculture were combined in the principles. Maximally efficient division of space where various programs are available, privacy-protected space, rest areas for strengthening resilience and health, pleasant and beautiful spaces with plants, easily accessible and safe space, and easy maintenance and sustainability are required factors for community gardens. As the ultimate goal, financial self-support, a space where they can develop acquired skills and then proceed with productive activities was included in the space planning principles. Additionally, ecological aspects such as cycle of materials, efficient energy use and expanded biodiversity were combined and supported by local communities to secure sustainability of the use of space.

Horticultural therapy (HT) is the engagement of a person in gardening related indoor activities by a trained professional to achieve specific treatment goals. It was effective as an alternative medicine and played an important role in rehabilitation of stroke patients, especially in psychological aspects. While the psychological benefit has been clearly demonstrated, the evidence of the physical benefit is insufficient. We report three stroke patients treated with HT and they were evaluated from the standpoint of physical, psychological, and cognitive outcomes. HT program consisted of 10 sessions during 2 weeks with 1 hour per session. The assessment of outcomes and positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) were performed before and after treatment. Two patients showed improvements in physical and psychological aspects. But the other patient showed no outstanding outcome. These results suggest the possibility of HT as a complement to conventional occupational therapy.

In 2013, the Suncheon Bay Garden Expo was successfully accomplished in Korea. This has increased Koreans’ interest in garden and its industry. Although Korea central and local governments make efforts to support the garden industry, there isn’t a sufficient data or statistics for the garden industry and its economic impacts. It is necessary to make a practical and meaningful definition and range of garden industry in Korea. This study is designed to overcome these problems by defining a garden and the garden industry, estimating garden industry’s statistics, and pointing a favorable direction of the industry. According to Huh et al. (2015b), the garden industry is defined with garden material production, garden service and distribution, and garden tourism. Estimating based on this definition and range, Korea’s garden industry generates 1.2 billion dollars in production, 1.5 billion dollars in distribution, and 80 million dollars in tourism (consumption). In total, about 2.7 billion dollars are generated in the garden industry in Korea. I suggest three strategies for a favorable development in Korea garden industry. First, in garden material production, private gardens need management improvement, while public gardens and Korean traditional gardens need government sustainable supports and R&D. Second, in garden distribution, a specific role should be assigned in Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Cooperation aT Center to connect the garden industry and distribution sectors. Third, a government-leading new industrial strategy should be made to promote consumption and tourism in the garden industry in Korea.

During recent decades, considerable amount of attention and resources have been invested to promote community vitalization and develop areas that are suitable for gardening in close proximities to cities. Frequent occurrences and wide-spread public events based on the gardening theme today such as garden show are prominent examples of such social tendencies. However contrarily to popular beliefs, such efforts have been very marginally realized in rural areas, in which tools and natural elements necessary for growing and cultivating plants are already in place. In reality, production-oriented life-style in modern rural society has degraded recreational aspects of living standards of rural habitants. And thus, implementation of the gardening space holds important merit and is a necessity to vitalize community in rural areas. In this work, we performed an extensive survey on rural community resting area garden elements that were previously established since 1990s. In particular, we look into garden elements of whether functionalities of such facilities are adequate to provide suitable gardening spaces. This manuscript consists of two major parts (1) identifying constituent elements for gardens and (2) analysis of garden elements in existing community resting areas for its conversion to a community garden. Ultimately, identifying necessities for gardening and finding proper locales are two of the most important steps in implementation community garden in rural areas. As the result, rural community resting area is proper to community garden because most of them has a good accessibility. But garden elements improvement such as flower bed except for convenience facilities and plants planning for four season garden is needed for improving the resting area.
