Vertical farming systems offer many advantages in urban spaces. They have also been proposed as an engineering solution to increase the productivity per unit area of cultivated land by extending crop production in the vertical dimension. However, soil water retention is a major constraint affecting the plant environment. This study analyzed the effects of growth environment of Tropaeolum majus and Fragaria spp., on the vertical farming system, by using four different types of cover material types including sphagnum moss (Control), a shading net (S.N.), multi-layered fabric (M.L.F.), and non-woven fabric (N.W.F.). The volumetric soil moisture contents and plant characteristics were investigated from May to September 2014. Plant materials were individually cultivated in hanging baskets measuring 30×17×17 cm, filled with a mixture of soil and perlite, and placed at 1.5m height. Each treatment was performed in quadruplicate and consisted of five plants, amounting to a total of 20 plants. The analysis indicated that different covers were associated with multiple functions and soil water retention improvements may have a positive impact on the vertical farming system. The difference in soil water retention increased in the following order: M.L.F. > Control > N.W.F. > S.N.. Furthermore, the differences in plant height and survival rate increased in the following order: M.L.F. > Control > N.W.F. > S.N. Therefore, M.L.F yielded satisfactory good response for the vertical farming system of cover materials. Our results clearly demonstrate that vertical spaces represent an attractive alternative to urban farming and suggest that further increases in yield may be achieved via different cover materials in vertical farming using hanging baskets.

This paper proposes a process to predict the maintenance cost for the aging urban infrastructure and to manage the facilities reasonably by establishing the budget execution plan based on prediction. It is anticipated that preemptive maintenance will be possible through this, and it will be expected that the average performance grade of the facility will be improved and the management cost will be reduced through longevity improvement.

This study was conducted to investigate the influence of hydrophilic polymer (HP) mixture ratio (Control, 1.0%, 2.5%, 5.0%, and 10.0%) on growth of eggplant (Solanum melongena) for lower maintenance urban agriculture via green roofs. Although it was not statistically significant (p > 0.05), substrate temperature was decreased as hydrophilic polymer mixture ratio were increased. High substrate water content (95%) was found consistently in growing media under elevated hydrophilic polymer mixture ratio at over 5% during the entire growing period. Substrate electronic conductivity was increased as hydrophilic polymer mixture ratio were increased. Growth index was decreased as hydrophilic polymer mixture ratio was increased. It was reduced about 1/3 and 1/5 compared to that of Control in HP5.0 and HP10.0 treatment plants, respectively. Number of leaves, leaf length, and leaf width were decreased in following order: Control> HP1.0> HP2.5> HP5.0> HP10.0 treatments. There numbers were significantly lower in HP5.0 and HP10.0 treatment plants. Dry weight of shoot and root were decreased as hydrophilic polymer mixture ratio was increased. They were reduced by 1/4 compared to those of Control treatment plants. In addition, visual value was decreased as hydrophilic polymer mixture ratio was increased. Plants grown in HP1.0, HP2.5, and HP5.0 treatments all survived. However, plants grown in the HP10.0 treatment had the lowest survival rate (56%) after 3 months of growing. These results indicate that the advantage of adding hydrophilic polymer to green roof growing media may greater during dry periods. However, the proper mixture proportion of hydrophilic polymer should be determined according to different characteristics of growing media and plant species.

The purpose of this study was to analyse the runoff characteristics of non-point pollution sources in an urban watershed and determine the effectiveness of newly installed riverwater treatment system to reduce water pollution caused by storm runoff in the urban watershed. The results of this study showed that the levels of BOD5 and suspended solid were highly influenced by first-flush effect and the pollutant load of those two parameters were also very high in the urban watershed. Meanwhile, the effectiveness of riverwater treatment system to reduce the levels of BOD5 and suspended solid was relatively high, but those to reduce the levels of T-N and T-P was low, which needs some additional unit treatment process such as filtration and coagulation. Nonetheless, the riverwater treatment system tested was relatively simple in installation and operation, effective in removing many water pollutants and, most importantly, does not require much space as other treatment systems, so it could be an attractive alternative option to reduce riverwater pollution caused by storm runoff in urban watersheds.

A historic urban landscape has to be preserved wholly, not only as a cultural heritage site, but also as an environment and a neighborhood. However, cultural heritage sites have their own unique social-commercial environments, and these are not easy to integrate during the preservation process even though they are located in the same area. To examine ways of overcoming the difficulty in integrating the preservation of heritages, this study analyzes the historic urban landscape preservation of St. Augustine, Florida in the United States. The preservation of St. Augustine's historic urban landscape can be identified by its unique system of government-academy cooperation. For integrated preservation of the historic landscape of St. Augustine, Florida's state government owns the properties, which are not designated but have a heritage value, and are located next to the nationally designated heritage sites. The properties receive trust administration by the University of Florida. This cooperation between the government and the university can benefit both stakeholders. To the government, the relationship gives the benefit for professional, long-term management for the properties and their environments. To the university, the cooperation provides a place for practical education, funding, and opportunities for research and management. The government-academy cooperation model argued for this study can be applied to many Korean historic cities' urban landscape preservation planning.

도시화의 급격한 변화로 인한 불투수층의 증가는 도시 내의 강우유출수를 아무런 처리 없이 직접 도시 내에 유출되어 홍수, 첨두유량 증가 등의 문제점을 야기 시킨다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 미국, 유럽, 우리나라 등 많은 국가에서 개발 전 자연이 가지고 있던 수문학적 기능을 최대한 유지하면서 개발 후 발생되는 비점오염물질을 효율적으로 관리하는 저영향 개발 기술을 도입하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 도시지역 물순환 관리 및 비점오염물질 저감에 기여하고자 저류와 침투가 가능한 식생체류지를 개발 및 평가하고자 수행되었다. 본 연구는 식생체류지의 물순환 및 비점오염물질 저감 능력을 평가하기 위하여 공주대학교 내 주차장에 설치된 식생체류지의 모니터링을 수행하였다. 모니터링한 수질시료는 수질오염공정시험법에 준하여 입자상물질, 유기물, 영양물질 및 중금속에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 또한 첨두유량 발생시간 및 지체시간, 첨두유량 저감 및 물수지를 산정하여 물순환 효과를 분석하였다. 식생체류지 시설의 모니터링은 2013년 11월부터 현재까지 총 11회가 수행되었으며 모니터링 결과, 강우유출수의 발생시간은 식생체류지를 적용하기 전에 비하여 약 40min 지체되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 첨두유량의 발생 시간은 시설 적용 전에 비하여 약 80min 이후에 발생하는 것으로 분석되었으며, 첨두유량은 약 0.3m3/min 저감되는 것으로 나타났다. 물수지 산정 결과, 시설 내 저류 및 침투되는 양은 90%로 높은 물순환 효과를 나타낸 것으로 분석 되었다. 비점오염물질 저감효율을 산정한 결과, 모든 오염물질에서 90% 이상으로 높은 저감효율을 나타내는 것으로 분석되었다. 이는 여재부에서 일어나는 오염물질 저감 기작이 효과적으로 작용되는 것으로 판단된다.

2009년 이후 서울, 부산, 인천 등 대도시의 집중호우가 증가함에 따라 많은 피해가 발생하고 있다. 도시홍수는 국지적이고 짧은 시간에 발생하는 집중호우로 인하여 피해가 발생하기 때문에 구조적 대책만으로는 한계가 있다. 2014년 부산시 집중호우 피해는 기존 강우 관측 및 예측 체계로는 강우의 감지 및 이동 예측에 한계가 있다는 것을 단적으로 보여준 사례이다. 현재 강우발생에 따른 경보는 기상청에서 발표하는 6시간 및 12시간 강우 기준의 호우 주의보 및 경보 기준에만 의존하고 있어 짧은 시간에 발생하는 도시홍수의 특성을 반영하지 못하고 있으며, 전국 공통 지표를 사용함으로써 지역적 특성을 반영하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 일본의 경우 지역적 특성을 반영한 호우 기준을 사용하고 있으며, 소형레이더를 이용한 초단기 강우 예측정보와 침수예측모형을 연계하는 실시간 경보시스템에 연구결과를 실용화하고 있다. 도시홍수에 대비하기 위해서는 시공간적 고해상도의 강우정보와 우리나라 지형적 특성을 고려한 도시침수해석 모형의 개발 필요하다. 그러나 현재 사용되고 있는 도시침수해석 모형들은 우리나라 도시지역의 특성을 반영하지 못하고 있으며, 최근 침수피해가 자주 발생하는 대형 지하쇼핑몰 및 지하철 등 지하공간에 대한 해석이 불가능하다. 따라서, 본고에서는 일본의 선진 도시홍수관리기술을 통해 시사점을 도출하고, 국립재난안전연구원에서 개발 중인 UFAM(Urban Flood Analysis model)과 X밴드 등 레이더 기반 강우정보를 연계한 새로운 도시재난관리시스템의 구축 전략에 대하여 제시하였다.

최근 웹과 스마트폰 기술의 발전으로 수십 제타바이트를 다루는 빅데이터의 시대가 도래되었다. 이는 기존의 데이터 마이닝의 주 대상이었던 구조화된 데이터뿐만 아니라, 비정형 데이터를 처리가 필수적이 되었음을 의미한다. 시공간 데이터를 포함하는 지오데이터는 빅데이터의 주요한 특징이라 일컬어지는 3V(다양성, 속도, 규모)를 잘 나타낸다. 위성 영상을 포함하는 대용량 지도서비스가 스마트폰에서도 가능하게 되었으며, 센서웹을 통해 스트리밍 기술로 실시간으로 공간정보 확보가 가능하다. 또한, 페이스북, 트위터 등에서 GPS를 통한 위치정보 확보뿐만 아니라, 위치와 연관된 키워드분석을 통해 비정형의 지오데이터 확보가 가능하게 되었다. 그리고 웹상에서 지오데이터를 공개/공유하는 Geo-Linked Data 서비스는 빅데이터 처리의 효율성이 증대시키리라 예상된다. 본 논문은 앞서 언급한 지오 빅데이터의 기술특징을 살펴보고, EU, 미국, 호주 등의 사례와 함께 EU FP7 프로젝트로 제안중인 Stream City 프로젝트를 통해 홍수, 화재, 가스폭발 등 도시재해에 지오 빅데이터 기술의 적용방안을 전망해보고자 한다.

Urban forest area in South Korea has been increased up to 20.8% of national land as of 2007 by the mergence of municipalities and counties. The rate of park and green tract among urban forest averages out to about 4% nationally but the Capital, Seoul, almost 105% level, not easy to split the two. Park and green has positive management system because of its infrastructure attribute and relevant security obligation standard while urban forest left alone with no such concerns. The most important reason of the negligence comes from institutional inertia although it is possible to be managed functionally by forest laws as like forests of park, landscape, wind and noise protection, and timber product. As a results, it reaches below than 92.64% of the national average level of the timber stockpile especially in the metropolitan areas and loses broad acres rapidly due to the easy conversion system to the urban land usage. Therefore, there must be required some alternative methodologies to conserve and foster it. The paper proposes the four urban forest management types and their control methods. The four types divide into conservation, foster, development, and reservation ones. Also it suggests the five furtherance tract types with the combination among the four earlier types, optionally having one of the six aim climaxes and recommends the standardization of operation design. The total green quantity index of urban forest also suggested by the weight method according to location and DBH class. The case study of the suggested model was executed on the Daejon Metropolitan area and its index calculated as 110.4% level compared with the acreage.
