본 연구는 우리나라에서 발생된 57개의 땅밀림지를 대상으로 땅밀림의 내부요인인 지질특성을 분석하여 땅밀림지에 영향을 미치는 지질 인자를 찾아내기 위해 실시하였다. 발생한 57개소의 땅밀림지 규모는, 평균 폭 208.2 m (52.8m ~ 1,001.3m), 평균길이 200.3 m (22.1m ~ 920.6m), 평균깊이 3.9 m (0.2m ~ 47.8m)이었다. 땅밀림지의 지질 시대는 백악기가 23개소(약 40.4%)에서 가장 많이 발생하였으며, 경상누층군에서 가장 많이 발생하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 상관분석 결과, 땅밀림이 발생한 피해지의 폭과 길이, 길이와 깊이는 1% 수준에서 유의한 정의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 지층과 주 구성암석 그리고 누층군과 지층, 주 구성암석과는 상관분석결과 1% 수준에서 유의한 정의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 땅밀림지는 퇴적암지역이 가장 많았다. 땅밀림 발생유형은 붕적토땅밀림, 풍화암땅밀림, 점질토땅밀림, 암반땅밀림 순으로 빈도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 땅밀림이 우려되는 지질적인 요인을 가진 지역에 대해서는 개발 등에 대한 신중한 검토와 사전 조사평가가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

This study was carried out to analyze water cycle characteristics and evaluate water retention function in Jeju Gotjawal forest from 2013 to 2017. The average ratio of throughfall, stemflow, interception loss in Seonhul Gotjawal (SH) and Cheongsu Gotjawal (CS) was 43.1%, 15.8%, and 41.1%, respectively. Rainfall-throughfall, rainfall-stemflow, and rainfall-interception loss were expressed as linear regression equation (p<0.001). The comparison results showed that SH was higher than CS (p<0.05), indicating that the canopy area had an important effect on the difference in stand structure. The average water resources retention rate of the Gotjawal region was 41.9%, which is similar to the total water resources retention rate (40.6%) of Jeju Special Self-Governing Province (JSSGP). Currently, the development of Gotjawal is in progress in JSSGP. The development of Gotjawal will lead to a decrease in the water resources retention rate due to changes in the surface environment such as an increase in impervious areas, which will affect the total groundwater content of JSSGP. Therefore, the conservation of the Gotjawal area is judged to be very important from the point of view of water conservation.

This study was carried out to investigate the characteristics of suspended solid concentration in small forest watershed, Hwacheon, Gangwondo. For five rainfall events from July 2013 to August 2013, rainfall, discharge, and suspended solid load has been measured. The results showed that the fist flush effect was observed for suspended solid in each rainfall event, sediment rating curve was obtained with y=3.029x1.573 at rising limb and y=12.902x1.8827 at falling limb, and EMC (event mean concentration) of suspended solid was calculated to 9.4 mg/L. EMC was compared to the values from the watershed that has various land use types and EMC from forest watershed was much lower that from the crop, paddy or low covered forest watershed.
