The study area is located on the western coast, and the inner development construction has been ongoing since 2011. The purposes of current study are to effectively simulate and quantitatively predict a temporal and spatial distributions of water temperature and salinity due to the stages of inner development construction in saemangeum reclaimed area. The transient-state numerical modeling using EFDC model is done, and the numerical simulation results are validated reasonably by repetitive numerical model calibration procedures with respect to field measurements of water temperature and salinity. The spatial distributions of water temperature and salinity show similar trends before and after construction of the dikes. In spring season, the salinity has maximum value of 21 psu, while, in summer season, the salinity shows 7 psu in a whole modeling domain. Thus, it is clearly observed that salt water is replaced by freshwater. However, the salinity and temperature reach their initial conditions at the end of the year. The salinity after construction of the dikes is lower than that before construction of them at Mankyeong area. On the other hands, after construction of the dikes, the salinity after dredging operations is higher than that before dredging. Because drastical increasing of water volume in Saemangeum Lake leads to increasing of stagnation time at bottom layer, and salt water is easily intruded to the two estuaries. Therefore, it may be concluded that hydrodynamic characteristics on Saemangeum are dominated by either Mankyeong and Dongjin discharge or sluice gates in/out-flow amounts, and thus they must be properly considered when rigorous and reasonable predictions of water temperature and salinity according to the stages of inner development construction.

본 연구는 준설선을 이용하여 가덕수도를 횡단하며 준설공사를 하는 동안에 선박들의 안전한 통항방안을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 부산-거제간 연결도로 건설공사 중 가덕수도의 해저로 횡단하는 침매터널을 건설하기 위해서는 준설작업이 필요하다. 이에 따라 불가피하게 준설선이 가덕수도 항로를 횡단하며 준설을 해야 한다. 이는 상대적으로 가덕수도를 통항하는 선박들의 잠재적인 위험상황으로 충돌 등의 해양사고가 발생할 가능성이 있다. 따라서 이에 대한 선박의 안전통항방안을 모색하고 대책을 제시하였다. 먼저 해상교통량을 추정하고 교통혼잡도를 평가한 결과 장래(2009년)까지 주간 중에 통항량이 최대통항능력에 대비하여 20%미만으로 예상되었다. 그리고 항로설계원칙의 검토를 통해 임시항로를 설정하여 준설공사를 3단계로 나눠 실시하는 대안을 제시하였다. 끝으로 부산신항 VTS 센터의 역할을 강조하였다.
