This research investigates the characteristics of meteorological variation and fine particles (PM10 and PM2.5) for case related to the haze occurrence (Asian dust, long range transport, stationary) in Busan. Haze occurrence day was 559 days for 20 years (from 1996 to 2015), haze occurrence frequency was 82 days (14.7%) in March, followed by 67 days (12.0%) in February and 56 days (10.0%) in May. Asian dust occurred most frequently in spring and least in winter, whereas haze occurrence frequency was 31.5% in spring, 29.7% in winter, 21.1% in fall, and 17.7% in summer. PM10 concentration was highest in the occurrence of Asian dust, followed by haze and haze + mist, whereas PM2.5 concentration was highest in the occurrence of haze. These results indicate that understanding the relation between meteorological phenomena and fine particle concentration can provide insight into establishing a strategy to control urban air quality.

A model coupling a meteorological predictive model and a vegetation photosynthesis and respiration model was used to simulate CO2 concentrations over coastal basin areas, and modeling results were estimated with aircraft observations during a massive sampling campaign. Along with the flight tracks, the model captured the meteorological variables of potential temperature and wind speed with mean bias results of 0.8℃, and 0.2 m/s, respectively. These results were statistically robust, which allowed for further estimation of the model’s performance for CO2 simulations. Two high-resolution emission data sets were adopted to determine CO2 concentrations, and the results show that the model underestimated by 1.8 ppm and 0.9 ppm at higher altitude over the study areas during daytime and nighttime, respectively, on average. Overall, it was concluded that the model’s CO2 performance was fairly good at higher altitude over the study areas during the study period.

The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model and Vegetation Photosynthesis and Respiration Model (VPRM) were coupled to simulate atmospheric CO2 concentrations. The performance of the WRF-VPRM to simulate regional scale CO2 concentration was estimated over coastal basin areas. Either Hestia 2011(HST) or Vulcan 2002(VUL) anthropogenic CO2 emission data were used in two numerical experiments for the study regions. Simulated meteorological variables were validated with ground and background CO2 measurement data, and the results show that the model captured temporal variations of CO2 concentration on a daily basis. CO2 directional analysis revealed that the dominant CO2 emission sources are located S and SW. The simulated Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE) agreed relatively well with measured CO2 fluxes at each vegetation class site, showing approximately 40% at max improvement at shrub areas.

인구와 자산이 밀집된 도시에서 침수가 발생할 경우 농촌과 달리 관거월류에 의한 건축물 피해가 지배적이기 때문에 이를 고려한 피해액산정기 법의 적용이 필요하다. 본 연구는 도림천 유역의 도림1 배수분구를 대상으로 침수예측을 다차원 홍수피해산정방법을 통한 침수피해액 분석을 실 시하였다. 과거 침수가 발생한 강우사상을 활용하여 XP-SWMM 모형을 통한 도시유출해석 및 침수해석을 실시하였고, 침수구역의 행정구역별 기 초자료와 유출해석 결과를 활용하여 건물 피해액을 산정하였다. 침수범위를 예측하기 위한 XP-SWMM모형 구동 결과, 관거 월류에 의한 침수 발 생 4시간 후인 16시 30분에 침수면적이 가장 넓게 나타났고, 계산된 침수심 별 침수면적을 다차원법과 연계하여 건물 피해액을 산정하였다. 연구 결과, 최대 침수면적은 305,955 m2으로 나타났으며, 0~0.5 m의 경우 305,190 m2, 0.5 m 이상은 765 m2으로 나타났으며, 침수해석 결과를 활 용한 도림1 배수분구의 건물피해액은 약 155억 원, 건물 내용물 피해액은 약 70억 원으로 산정되었고, 0~0.5 m 이하의 건물 및 건물 내용물 피해 액은 약 224억 원, 0.5 m 이상 약 1억 원으로 산정되었다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 할 때, 도시지역의 침수피해액 산정을 위해 침수심 및 침수시간과 같은 다양한 피해양상에 따라 세분화된 피해액 산정기법이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

The concerns about potential risks and hazards in children’s playgrounds are increasing and the restrictions for environmental harmful substances in playgrounds have been reinforced in many countries. In this study, the concentrations of heavy metals were analyzed in 142 samples including 105 of sand flooring and 37 playing equipment such as swing, slide, sporting equipment, bench and fence in 18 children’s playgrounds. Heavy metals in sand flooring were investigated and categorized by natural environmental factors such as season, rainfall, post-rainy day, and artificial factors as road, type, and material of nearby play equipment. The concentration of heavy metals such as Pb, Hg, Cu, and Zn were significantly higher in sand flooring near the play equipment than at places away from the playing equipment (p < 0.05). Spearman’s rank correlation analysis showed that play equipment had a positive correlation with the sand flooring with regard to the concentration of Pb (r = 0.42, p < 0.01) and Cu (r = 0.39, p < 0.01). The concentration of heavy metals in the sand flooring showed a statistically significant difference depending on the season, post-rainy day, the distance from a roadway, type of equipment, and the material. The play equipment’s heavy metal concentration and other environmental factors contributed to the heavy metal concentration in the sand flooring’s surface in playgrounds.

We investigated on the proper combination of physical parameterization schemes of RegCM4.0 for the simulation of regional climate over CORDEX-East Asia Phase 2 domain. Based on the Lee(2016)’s sensitivity experiments for the four combination using two land surface schemes and two cumulus parameterization schemes during 5 years (1979-1983), we selected the two combinations (CE: CLM+Emanuel and BG: BATS+Grell). The ERA-Interim was used as lateral boundary data of RegCM4.0 for the two experiments during 25 years (1981-2005). Simulation skills of temperature were similar in the two combination of physical processes irrespective of seasons and locations. However, there were a substantial differences in the simulation skills of precipitation according to the combination of physical processes, which were better in CE than BG combination. In general, the CE combination better simulated the precipitation characteristics in July and August over South Korea than BG combination, in terms of frequency and amount of precipitation according to the intensity. The superior skills of CE in simulating precipitation over South Korea can be related to the better simulation of seasonal march of the East Asian summer monsoon including the location and intensity of the North Pacific high pressure system than BG. The results suggested that the CE combination can simulate the climate characteristics in the CORDEX East Asia Phase 2 region better than the BG combination.

Regional climate simulations for the CORDEX East Asia domain were conducted between 1981 and 2100 using five models to project future climate change based on RCP2.6, 4.5, 6.0, and 8.5 scenarios. By using the ensemble mean of five model results, future changes in climate zones and four extreme temperature events of South Korea were investigated according to Köppen-Trewartha’s classification criteria. The four temporal periods of historical (1981-2005), early future (2021-2040), middle future (2041-2070), and late future (2071-2100) were defined to examine future changes. The analysis domain was divided into 230 administrative districts of South Korea. In historical (1981-2005) period, the subtropical zones are only dominant in the southern coastal regions and Jeju island, while those tend to expand in the future periods. Depending on the RCP scenarios, the more radiative forcing results in the larger subtropical zone over South Korea in the future. The expansion of the subtropical zone in metropolitan areas is more evident than that in rural areas. In addition, the enlargement of the subtropical zone in coastal regions is more prominent than that of in inland regions. Particularly, the subtropical climate zone for the late future period of RCP8.5 scenario is significantly dominant in most South Korea. All scenarios show that cold related extreme temperature events are expected to decrease and hot related extreme temperature events to increase in late future. This study can be utilized by administrative districts for the strategic plan of responses to future climate change.

오늘날 지역 캐릭터는 지역의 상징이자 지역브랜드를 대표하는 강력한 마케팅 수단이 되고 있다. 본 연구는 일본 구마모토 현의 지역 캐릭터인 구마몬의 디자인 통합 사례를 연구하고 있다. 구마몬은 탄생 5년 만에 1000억엔 이상의 경제 유발 효 과와 관광 홍보 효과를 거두고 있다. 이는 구마몬 캐릭터를 구마모토 현의 브랜드 가치 향상 추구를 위해 사용하고자 한 목적과 이를 위해 구마몬 캐릭터의 정체성을 위한 디자인 통합 전략 등에 의한 것이라 분석된다. 구마모토 현의 역사, 문화 자원과 특산물을 상징하는 검정과 빨강의 단순한 색상, 둥근 얼굴, 그리고 퉁퉁한 몸매의 구마몬 캐릭터에 명쾌한 표정과 풍부한 동작표현으로 생명력을 주어 다양한 디자인 적용 가능성을 줌과 동시에 화제를 불러일으키는 스토리텔링의 전개는 구마몬 캐릭터의 인기 비결이라 할 수 있다. 구마몬의 사례에서 볼 수 있듯, 오늘날과 같은 글로벌 시대에 차별화된 지역의 고유성을 지닌 캐릭터의 활용은 고부가가치 산업으로의 성장 가능성이 더욱 높이고 있다. 국내 지자체에서도 지역의 가치 를 재창조할 수 있는 창의적인 지역캐릭터를 발굴이 요구되고 있는 이 시점에 본 연구가 성공적인 국내 캐릭터 창출의 기 초 자료가 될 것으로 기대한다.

The purpose of this study is to introduce a rural development project utilized Participatory Rural Appraisal(PRA), which has been widely developed and applied as an approach and methods for participatory rural development since 1990’s. In the ODA project titled as “Happiness Program”, a comprehensive community development program designed and conducted by KOICA for underprivileged ethnic minorities in Lao Cai province, Vietnam, the villagers were able to analyse the realities of their situations, to plan, to act, and to monitor and evaluate their actions for improvement through all the processes of PRA utilization. Apart from the successful implementation of participatory rural development activities, this project also made a contribution to extending our knowledge about PRA by presenting the monitoring and evaluation system built for the project and the impact analyzed by the system such as increase in villagers’ annual income, expansion of infrastructure, capacity development and etc.

IPCC Guidelines have been updated after the first official announcement to get more precise estimation of GHG emissions. The goal of this study is to evaluate the implications of the IPCC Guidelines improvements including equations of country-specific parameter values for estimating GHG emissions for rice cultivation on the agricultural sector. In addition, we analyze the effects of emission factors associated with organic amendment applications. The results of this study are as follows; (1) the total GHG emissions of rice cultivation based on 1996 IPCC GL are 28% lower than those estimated by 2006 IPCC GL with the same year data; (2) GHGs can be reduced up to 60% through the assumption of organic fertilizer applications; (3) Jeonnam and Chungnam are the worst regions for GHG emissions on rice cultivation and Chungbuk shows the highest reduction rate of GHG emissions, about 40%.

This study is to estimate the circuity factors which can be used to assess for public facilities accessibility and analyze traffic in the area. We set the range of the administrative districts by Si‧Gun‧Gu unit and Eup‧Myeon‧Dong unit (more subdivided unit than Si‧Gun‧Gu unit). The average circuity factor in Si‧Gun‧Gu unit is 1.364 (maximum 2.953 and minimum 1.711). The region indicated the highest value of circuity factor is wando-gun in jeollanam-do, which area consists of 4 island and is connected to the bridges. Having to use the bridges for using public facilities hinders its accessibility. In the case of Eup ‧ Myeon ‧ Dong unit, the average circuity factor is 1.353 (maximum 2.950 and minimum 1.154). The region indicated the highest value of circuity factor is buksan-myeon in chuncheon-si, Gangwon-do. This region also has to use bridges for using public facilities because there is the largest lake, called Soyangho. This circuity factor is used to analyze the location of public facilities and assess vulnerability of accessibility. And also the factor can be applied to some policies, such as rural public service planning based on spatial big data.

When an age of low growth and population decline, population migration plays an important role in spatial structure of region. There have been many researches on migration and regional spatial structure. The purpose of this study is to examine the changes of Gwangju and Jeonnam region’s spatial structure and central area using social network analysis methods. For analysis it was used that population and migration data and passenger OD(Origin and Destination) travel data released by Statistics Korea and Korea Transport Database(KTDB). Using Gephi 0.8.2, migration and passenger OD networks were visualized, and this describe network flow and density. The results of the network centrality analysis show that the most populated village is not always network center though population mass is an important factor of central places. The average eigenvector centrality of 2010 migration is the lowest during 2005-2015, and it means few regions have high centralities. When comparing migration and travel networks, travel data is more effective than migration data in determining the central location considering spatial functions.

Rural development policy has changed from hardware based development to community revitalization. The purpose of this study is to analyze social network of collaborative activity among rural organizations as fundamental of community. The material used in this study is a record of collaborative activites in the community newsletter of Hong-Dong area. 161 of collaborative activities (links) and 75 of organizations (nodes) are investigated in network. 6 collaborative activity type (‘Education’, ‘Socializing’, ‘Meeting’, ‘Culture’, ‘Event’ and ‘Labor’) is classified. ‘Socializing’ is inclusive of approximately half of whole network (50.67%).

This study finds its purpose in the detailed analysis of network characteristics of collaborative activity within Hong-Dong area which is representative developed rural community in Korea

산림휴양과 숲체험을 위하여 진주시 근교에 위치한 월아산에 도시숲 프로그램을 제안하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 대상지의 현황 및 역사 등 을 분석하였고, 지역주민을 대상으로 인식과 선호도에 관하여 설문조사 및 통계분석을 실시하였다. 현황분석에서 대상지는 관리부실로 낙 후된 숲 시설, 프로그램 등의 문제점을 파악할 수 있었고, 인접한 진주 혁신도시 인구증가로 인하여 휴게시설 증설이 필요할 것으로 예측되 었다. 설문분석에서 최근까지 월아산 이용목적은 운동 및 산책이며, 주로 가족단위로 자가용을 이용해 찾아오지만 이용빈도는 연중 1~2회 로 낮은 비율을 보였다. 현황 및 설문 분석을 종합하여 도시숲 프로그램 계획에서 3E라는 개념을 설정하였다. 3E는 Experimental(체험할 수 있는 공간), Everlasting(역사를 지닌 공간), Emblematic(상징적인 공간)로 구분하여 정의될 수 있다. 그 개념을 대상지에서 구현하기 위 해서 먼저 낙후된 산림욕장, 청곡사 주변부지, 장군대봉 등을 연결하는 통로를 정비하고 휴게시설을 조성하여 통행 및 휴식의 매력과 이용 편리를 개선하고, 그와 같은 조건에서 방문객을 유인할 수 있는 프로그램 계획하였다. 프로그램 계획의 주요한 특징은 세 가지로 구분할 수 있다. 첫째, 삼림욕장에 학습장을 조성하고 숲 교육 프로그램을 도입하고, 산책로를 건강 및 휴식을 위한 힐링 숲길로 조성하고 산책, 휴식, 자연학습 등의 숲 체험 프로그램을 도입한다. 둘째, 역사 및 문화자원인 청곡사 및 그 주변을 그 맥락에 부합하도록 정비하고 청곡사와 학영 지를 연결하는 학영지의 이름을 딴 학영로라는 역사 및 문화 산책로를 조성하여 역사 및 문화 스토리텔링 프로그램을 도입한다. 부가적으 로 청곡사와 휴게공간 사이의 연결성을 확보하여 기존의 산책 및 운동을 위한 통로에 역사, 휴식 등의 기능을 부여하여 잠재적으로 다양하 고 풍부한 프로그램을 수용할 수 있도록 한다. 마지막으로 상징적인 공간인 장군대봉 주변 부지에서 월아산 정상부로 월아산 이름의 유래 에서 모티브를 얻은 달을 형상화한 조형물을 랜드마크(landmark)로서 설치한다. 이를 통해 등산을 위해 산을 오를 뿐만 아니라 색다른 볼 거리를 즐기기 위해 산을 오르게 함으로써 더 많은 방문객을 유인할 수 있도록 한다.

This study was carried out to elucidate the chemical compositions of water-soluble inorganic ions in PM10 and PM2.5 aerosols collected during summer and winter in downtown Jejusi city. The ratios of NO3 - to the total mass of ionic species in PM10 and PM2.5 aerosols largely increase in winter compared to summer, while SO4 2- ratios in both aerosols appear to follow the opposite trend. Moreover, concentrations of Na+, Mg2+, Ca2+ and Cl- in PM10 and PM2.5-10 aerosols are higher in winter than in summer. The nitrate concentrations in PM10 and PM2.5 aerosols increase with an identical increase in excess ammonium during winter, however, nitrate formation during summer is not important owing to ammonium-poor conditions.

The Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) provides information about the volume growth of a tree. In this study, we estimated the relative growth rates of Castanea crenata and Pinus rigida as 4.07% and 3.73%, respectively. Although the difference was low, we demonstrated that the growth rate of C. crenata is slightly faster than that of P. rigida. After calculating the relative growth rate for each section, we found that the relative growth of C. crenata decreased with time. However, the relative growth rate of P. rigida showed an overall increase. The gap widths of both species showed an increasing trend. However, the gradient of the two species was different. The gradient of C. crenata was approximately 12.0, but that of P. rigida was approximately 4.7. This means that the volume growth of C. crenata was faster than that of P. rigida during 4 years. However, this was relatively a short period for measuring the volume growth pattern, and we believe that additional useful information can be obtained by conducting long-term ecological monitoring. Results of canonical correspondence analysis showed that among the climate variables, temperature was significantly related to the gap widths for both species.

2014년 8월 25일 집중호우시 효암천 상류지역의 도심과 농경지 등에 큰 침수피해가 발생하였다. 이 지역은 고리원전 부지조성을 위해 하구부 의 하천이설과 주변지역에 대한 성토 등 대규모 개발사업이 이루어진 곳이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 개발이 홍수시 침수피해의 원인이 되었는지를 알아보기 위해 HEC-GeoRAS 모형을 이용하여 개발사업 전․ 후에 대한 효암천 유역의 침수심과 침수면적의 변화를 조사하였다. 분석결과, HEC-GeoRAS 모형은 농경지 등 지형변화 및 표고차가 작은 하천유역에 대해서도 홍수시 침수심과 침수면적의 변화를 비교적 정확하게 산정할 수 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 침수심은 개발사업의 영향으로 2014년 8월 집중호우시 0.99 m가 상승하였고, 100년빈도 홍수시에는 0.39 m가 상승 하는 것으로 나타났다. 침수면적은 100년빈도 훙수시 침수심 1.5 m 이하에서는 감소하였으나 침수심 4.5 m 이상에서는 오히려 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로, 하천이설과 개발사업으로 인해 하구부의 농경지와 저지대의 자연저유기능이 상실된 것이 2014년 8월 집중호우시 홍수발 생의 주된 원인이 되었으며, 하천이설에 따라 신설된 하천단면의 총 하폭은 크게 증가하였으나 실질적인 유효하폭은 오히려 축소되어 통수단면적 이 감소되었던 것이 침수피해를 가중시킨 것으로 나타났다. 추후 하천이설이나 주변지역에 대한 성토 등 개발행위시에는 기존의 저유기능이 충분 히 고려된 하천개수계획이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

우리나라에서는 도시 개발사업을 위한 환경영향평가를 실시하는데 있어 개발 전․중․ 후의 강우유출량을 분석하도록 규정하고 있다. 도시개발에 따른 수문학적 변화를 분석하고 대책을 수립하기 위해 수문모델이 사용되고 있으나 대부분의 경우 현장의 자료가 충분하지 않은 관계로 그 산정결 과의 신뢰도가 문제될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 대전의 관평천 일부유역에서 2015년 7월 부터 2016년 7월 까지 자동 모니터링 장치을 이용하고 또 한 및 현장 측정을 통해 확보된 강우량 및 유출유량의 연속자료를 활용하여 SWMM을 이용하는 경우 강우 유출량 예측의 정확도를 제고하고자 하 였다. 토양침투량 산정을 위해 대표적으로 사용되는 Curve Number 방법, Horton 방법 및 Green-Ampt 방법들을 사용한 경우에 대해서 투수지 역과 불투수 지역에 대해 각각 최적의 Manning 조도계수와 지표면 저류깊이를 산정하여 제시하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 우리나라의 도시 유역에 서 실측자료를 이용하여 강우 유출 모델을 보정하였다는 면에서 의미가 있다고 판단되며 추후 유역의 개발등의 상황에 대해는 강우 시 유출량 및 수질현상을 더욱 정확하게 예측하고 나아가서 향후의 유역 내 수문조건 변화 요인에 대한 영향을 분석하는 데 정확도를 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This paper proposes an integrated positioning system to localize a moving object in the shadow-area that exists in the water tank. The new water tank for underwater robots is constructed to evaluate the navigation performance of underwater vehicles. Several sensors are integrated in the water tank to provide the position information of the underwater vehicles. However there are some areas where the vehicle localization becomes very poor since the very limited sensors such as sonar and depth sensors are effective in underwater environment. Also there are many disturbances at sonar data. To reduce these disturbances, an extended Kalman filter has been adopted in this research. To localize the underwater vehicles under the hostile situations, a SVR (Support Vector Regression) has been systematically applied for estimating the position stochastically. To demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithm (an extended Kalman filter + SVR analysis), a new UI (User Interface) has been developed.

Background : Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer is a perennial herb belongs to the family Araliaceae. Wild-cultivated ginseng (WCG) is a specific type of ginseng in Korea which cultivated on artificial forest cultivation method. To obtain a WCG which is similar to wild ginseng (WG), this method usually performed in a mountain using seeds or seedlings of cultivated ginseng (CG) and WG. WCG is very expensive because it is difficult to cultivate. However, systematic cultivation method have not yet been developed compared to high added value. Furthermore, very high price of WCG caused the problem that Panax notoginseng or Panax quinquefolium are sold as WCG in Korean market. In this study, we analyzed the genetic diversity of WCG collected from five areas in Korea using SSR markers. Methods and Results : WCG samples were collected from five areas in Korea (Bucheon, Cheongju, Hoengseong, Judeok and Ulsan). DNA extraction was performed using CTAB method. SSR markers were collected from the published papers. After test PCR using the markers, one of the primer pair was labeled with fluorescence dye (FAM, NED, PET, or VIC) and GeneScan analysis were performed. DNA amplification was conducted using T-100 Thermal Cycler (Bio-Rad). PCR products were separated by capillary electrophoresis on the ABI 3730 DNA analyzer (Applied Biosystems). Conclusion : Eight SSR markers were collected from the published literature and used for the analysis. From the 8 tested SSR markers, 7 SSR markers showed polymorphism between varieties. GenScan analysis were performed using the selected SSR markers to analyze the phylogenetic relationship of WCG. From the results, WCG cultivated in Korea showed that they have a very diverse genetic background.
