본 연구는 일본 고베시 로코아일랜드 완충녹지의 공간기능별 지형구조, 식재개념, 식재구조를 조사분석하여 해안매립도시의 토지이용을 고려한 완충녹지 식재기법 연구 기초자료를 제공하고자 수행하였다. 로코아일랜드(총면적 580ha)는 대규모 완충녹지를 박스형으로 조성하여 외곽부의 항만물류 산업용지와 도시내부 도시기능용지로 구획되었다. 완충녹지 지형구조는 편향마운딩형, 병렬마운딩형, 복합마운딩형이었고, 북쪽의 녹지폭은 50m, 동쪽의 녹지폭은 8~32m, 서쪽의 녹지폭은 37.5m, 경사도는 18~25˚, 성토고는 2~15m이었다. 공간기능별 재개념은 해안측 사면부는 경관식재와 완충식재, 도시내부는 경관식재와 녹음식재를 적용하였다. 북측 완충녹지 식재구조 조사결과, 종가시나무, 녹나무, 후박나무, 녹보리똥나무 등 난온대 상록활엽수를 식재하였고, 100mm2단위의 종수 및 식재밀도는 최대 교목 9종 22주, 아교목 9종 15주, 관목 3종 67주로 전 층위 14종 104주이었다. 녹피율은 교목층 69~139%, 아교목층 26~38%, 관목층 6~7%, 전 층위 101~184%, 녹지용적계수는 교목층 1.40~3.12m3/m2, 아교목층 0.43~0.55m3/m2, 관목층 0.06m3/m2, 전 층위 1.89~3.73m3/m2이었다.

In 2003, "The National Land Use and Planning Act" (NLUP Act) was enacted unifying two old laws; "The Urban Planning Act" enacted in 1962 and "The National Land Use and Management Act" enacted in 1972. One of main reasons of unifying two acts was to extend urban planning-based development systems to rural areas for preventing uncontrolled urban sprawl in rural areas and enhancing or settlling plan-based land use system in rural areas. This paper is conducted with the following specific objectives: i) to critically review the contents of NLUP Act in terms of rational rural land use planning; ii) to evaluate plan-based land use practices in rural area by NLUP Act; iii) to appraise performance level for prevention against unplanned development activities in rural areas by NLUP Act. To accomplish these objectives, we surveyed actural state of rural land use and development system by the new act in two case study areas. Ansung city in Gyeongi province as an urban sprawl region and Hamyang county in Gyeongnam Province as a remote rural area. Study results ascertained that the new act can not effectively control rural land use and not prevent over-use of agricultural land in the positive and effective ways because of followering three points.

As a rational decision-making process of county-level area development, this study designed 3-step framework : function-giving(areal analysis) on unit planning area by decision matrix of land suitability, check of typical characteristics of each function area and formulation of its future development strategies. Two alternatives were suggested as the areal analysis method, of which one is equal ordering / valuing technique of checking indices for land suitability classfication and the other preferential weighting technique. And then, under the algorithm specially defined in this study, land suitability maps(Fig.2,3) of the case study area (Seungju-county area, Chonnam-province, Korea) were drawn from the areal analysis results. By use of land suitability classification results, unique characteristics of typical function areas were defined (on 7 types of alternative 1 , 8 types of II ) and their future development strategies were formulated in the case study area, According to the categorization criteria in this study, all the villages of the case area were classfied as a suitable type of function areas illustrated in this study.

This study is to establish a planning methodology for rural area development with land suitability classification. Land suitability classification was carried out by introducing Geographic Information System. The planning methodology was applied to Sunheung district located in Youngpoong county, Kyongbuk Province, Korea. Land suitability classification by the GIS showed that only 29 % of present agricultural land were higher than class 2 and 71 % were in bad condition for agricultural land. Especially, 22.2 % of agricultural land were under class 5 as the lowest level and 265.2 ha of forest were possible to develop as an agricultural land. It was proved that GIS may be a powerful tool in rural planning process. In addition, it is thought that GIS can be applied to the fields of agricultural land management system in many ways.

For formulation of the rational land us2 plan in regional base, it is a basic and prior condition to categorize total planning area into some functional subregions by purposely-selected indicators. As one of quantitive approaches to the areal categorization in rural area, Principal Component Analysis(PCA) was introduced and testified its applicability through a case study on Sunheungdistrict(called as myun in Korea) area, Youngpoong-county, Kyungbuk-province, Korea. Areal analysis by PCA was carried out on rurality and urbanity of parish-level area(ri in Korea) respectively. By use of PCA analysis results, classifying matrix was made through categorization of both index scores. Among 18 ri's of the case study area, 12 was classified as rural-dominated areas, 2 as urban- dominated areas, and reamaining 3 as intermediate areas.

As a initial methodological approach to rational land use planning in the county-level area, three types of land suitability classification techniques were examined from the viewpoint of their practical applicability through the case study of Seungju-gun area, Chonnam-province, Korea : major factors' criteria(method I ), principal component analysis( I ), and local monitoring( R( ). Each method has its strong and weak points as shown in Tab.-5. Therefore, when its practical application, there seem to be wide-range methodological selectivities from exclusive use of the best one to intermethodological combination of related ones In the beginning stage, intermethodological combination of all three types were tried to formulate the best solution possible. However, because of reliability problem of method R accrued from non- uniformity of evaluators'quality, only two methods( 1 , E ) were combined into a new evaluation method The applied results of the new combined method to case study area are shown in Fig.-2, 3 and 4.
