2011년 6월 28일에 파주시 조리읍 장곡리 인근 도로에서 두부쪽이 손상되고, 해당연도에 태어난 맹금류 어린새를 발견하였고, 이를 DNA 바코드 기법으로 동정하였다. Mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA) cytochrome c oxidase I(COI) 유전자의 695bp 절편을 중합효소연쇄반응(polymerase chain reaction, PCR)으로 증폭하고 염기서열을 결정하였다. 결정된 염기서열을 BOLD systems과 NCBI의 BLAST에서 유사도 분석을 수행한 결과 총 5개체의 왕새매가 검색되었고, 염기서열의 동일성은 100%로 조사되었다. 또한, DNA 분자성판별 결과는 해당 개체가 암컷임을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는 경기도 파주에서 1968년 이후 43년만에 왕새매의 번식이 확인된 중요한 정보로, 향후 광역야생동물구조센터는 야생동물의 사체 수거 시 인근 기탁등록보존기관과 연계하여 DNA시료를 확보하고 보다 정확한 종동정과 성판별 정보를 기록하는 등의 체계적인 관리시스템이 필요할 것으로 사료된다. 또한 이렇게 확보한 왕새매의 DNA 시료와 DNA 바코드 COI 유전자 서열은 유사종 연구의 참조표본(reference standard)로 이용될 수 있을 것이다.

본 연구의 목적은 오대산국립공원 내 도로를 대상으로 2003년에서 2007년까지 로드킬 현황을 조사하고 종별 발생특성, 월별 발생분포, 토지이용 현황별 로드킬 특성을 분석하여, 로드킬 저감을 위한 기초자료를 제시하는 것이었다. 로드킬은 총 427건이 발생하였으며, 대부분 소형포유류인 것으로 나타났다. 포유류와 파충류에서는 다람쥐와 누룩뱀, 조류는 노랑턱멧새의 발생빈도가 높았다. 포유류와 파충류는 여름철과 가을철, 조류는 봄부터 여름사이의 발생빈도가 높게 나타났으며, 로드킬은 야생통물의 활통시기 및 번식시기 그리고 차량 이통량 증가와 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 야생동물 로드킬 빈도는 도로변 토지이용형태에 의해 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 도로 양측이 밭인 경우에 가장 높았다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze psychological and physiological effects accordance with viewing and walking in the forest and urban area. In the result of measurement of physiological reactions in nervous system, viewing of the forest had a calming effect on the nervous system by reducing blood pressure and heart rate. The other hand, viewing and walking in the urban area compared to the forest area raised stress by increasing blood pressure and heart rate. In addition, viewing in forest area was effective in stress relief by noticeable reduction of the amylase concentration. In contrast, walking in the urban area was also confirmed an increase of stress by increasing the concentration of the amylase. A viewing and walking in forest area was effective in alleviating depressed on anxiety, anger, fatigue and confusion.

The purpose of this study is to investigate distribution of the vegetation and insects of coastal dunes in the Yangyang area. The field survey was carried out Osan and Dongho coastal dunes during the period from June to July 2008. A total of 68 taxa were identified including 30 families, 60 genera, 59 species, and 9 varieties. 1 species(Glehnia littoralis) was recorded as designated rare plant of Korea Forest Service. The naturalized plants were 8 families, 13 species. The urbanization rate of naturalization index was 4.8% and 19.1% respectively. The land insect appeared with the 10 order, 23 families including 10 Korean specific species and 16 environmental indicator species for coastal dune. The species in Order Coleoptera was most, followed by Hemiptera, Orthoptera and Odonata respectively.

The purpose of this study is to analyze seasonal distribution of insects, birds, fishes, and benthos for Gongji stream in Chuncheon and to explore some strategies towards creating a desirable close-to-nature stream. The number of species occurred in the study stream was 23 for butterflies and 149 for other insects, 23 for birds, 15 for fishes, and 47 for benthos. The study stream was dominated by Artogenia rapae, Polygonia caureum, Cyntia cardui for butterflies, and Passer montanus, Anas crecca, Anas platyrhynchos for birds. The dominant species were Rhynchocypris oxycephalus, Zacco platypus, Carassius auratus for fishes, and Limnodrilus sp. 2, Chironomus sp. 2, Hydropsyche KUb for benthos. Attracting insect species of higher density requires planting of host plant species and stabilization of plant coverage against disturbances. To enhance species diversity and density of birds, it is desirable to provide diverse habitats including preservation of downstream wetland and natural vegetation, creation of sand bars and islands with sand and gravel, and restriction of traffic passing and parking. Restoring fish and benthos habitats needs improvement of water quality, layout of gravels and stones on sand-dominant streambed, and use of close-to-nature revetment techniques.

The purpose of this study is to analyze seasonal changes in structure and landscape of Gongji stream corridor in Chuncheon, and to suggest some guidelines to contribute to creating a desirable close-to- nature stream. The study seasonally surveyed floodplain and revetment conditions, channel micro-topography, streamflow level and velocity, and vegetational cover. Flooding, water level, and vegetation were major factors of affecting seasonal changes in streambed structure and stream landscape. Small sand bars and islands were considerably disturbed by flooding and water level change. However, large islands and sand bars in the upper and middle section of the study stream remained or reappeared even after flooding. Flooding also tended to repeat channel sedimentation at the same spot. Controlling water volume of the Euiam Lake, which is adjacent to the study stream, caused higher water level downstream in the dry seasons. The majority of vegetation in sand bars and islands was washed away by the floods. Vehicle passing, crop cultivation, and ball game were other elements which disturbed vegetation in the floodplain. Creating a close-to-nature stream should reflect micro-topographical changes of channel by flooding, prevent improper vehicle entry and human use, and remove concrete material in the revetment and floodplain.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of the urban landscape by CG(Computer Graphic) pictures and visibility analysis. In this study, the CG picture was created by using zoning data and DEM(Digital Elevation Model) on Chunchon city. The landscape type was classified into three by cluster analysis using the area rate of the element which constitutes CG picture. Visible analysis used DEM as fundamental data, and was performed by using GIS(Geographic Information System). And the frequency seen on viewshed was classified into five grades. The result of this study are as follows: 1. The area rate of the element which constitutes CG picture was high development restriction zone(43%) in type 1, green land area(39%) in type 2, and city area(24%) in type 3. 2. In the analysis results of GIS visibility analysis, it turns out that Euiam lake is important area on the landscape in all types. 3. The land use of high frequency seen on viewshed was water area, residential area in type 1, development restriction area, park area in type 2, and development restriction zone, water area in type 3.
