본 연구에서는 해안 매립도시인 안산시 철도변 완충녹지를 대상으로 완충녹지의 문제점을 분석하고, 완충녹지의 공간기능과 식재개념에 적합한 식재방안을 제시하였다. 안산시 철도별 완충녹지의 식재밀도는 0.04~0.17주/m2 이었고, 녹지용적계수는 0.15~1.65m3/m2로 녹량이 부족하여 완충기능이 미흡하였다. 마운딩 완충녹지의 토양경도는 2.72~15kg/cm2로 식생생육에 적합하지 않았다. 완충녹지의 기능을 향상시키기 위해 야생조류 서식 측면의 생물서식기능, 주변 토지이용 측면의 도시공원기능, 식재수종 계절성 측면의 경관개선기능을 검토하였다. 완충녹지를 기능에 따라 생물서식기능의 완충녹지, 완충 및 경관개선기능의 완충녹지, 경관 및 도시공원기능의 완충녹지, 완충 및 생물서식기능의 완충녹지로 재설정하였다. 완충기능 식재방안에서는 곰솔 등을 주요종으로 선정하고, 교목종 0.4주/m2, 관목종 0.5주/m2로 식재밀도를 설정하였고, 경관개선 기능에서는 느티나무, 산벚나무, 살구나무 등을 주요종으로 선정하고 교목종 0.2주/m2, 관목종 0.5주/m2로 식재밀도를 설정하였다. 생물서식기능에서는 상수리나무, 산벚나무, 팥배나무 등을 주요종으로 선정하고, 적정 식재 밀도를 교목종 0.06주/m2, 아교목종 0.1주/m2, 관목종 0.8주/m2로 식재밀도를 제시하였다.

In the present study, the community distribution, functional feeding groups, and habitat groups of the benthic macroinvertebrates from Gayasan National Park were investigated at eight different sites from 2015 to 2016. The correlation between habitat altitude and each group type was analyzed statistically. Biodiversity indices, including dominance, diversity, richness, and evenness indices, were calculated. The results showed a total of 4,216 individual benthic macroinvertebrates were collected, including 4 phyla, 6 classes, 16 orders, 40 families, and 100 species. Gammarus sobaegensis was dominant with 0.141% dominance, and the subdominant species was Epeorus nipponicus with 0.088% dominance. The EPT group(Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Tricoptera) accounted for 71.00% of the total species and 67.69% of the total individuals. The number of scraper species was highest, and the number of gathering collector individuals was highest among functional feeding groups. The individual number of scrapers(r=-0.358, p ˂ 0.05) and gathering collectors(r=-0.343, p ˂ 0.05) decreased with increasing altitude. The numbers of species and individuals of clingers and sprawlers were highest among the habitat groups. The individual number of clingers(r=-0.547, p ˂ 0.01) and burrowers(r=-0.331, p ˂ 0.05) significantly decreased with increasing altitude. The diversity and richness indices were higher in St. 3 than in the other sites. The dominance index was highest in St. 2, and the evenness index was highest in St. 7. We evaluated the biological water quality with several known methods, and concluded that ESB(Ecological score of benthic macrovertebrates community) and GPI(Group polution index) were more suitable than KSI(Korean saprobic index) and BMI (Benthic macrovertebrate index) to assess the biological water quality of Gayasan mountain stream water.
