Heatwaves are one of the most common phenomena originating from changes in the urban thermal environment. They are caused mainly by the evapotranspiration decrease of surface impermeable areas from increases in temperature and reflected heat, leading to a dry urban environment that can deteriorate aspects of everyday life. This study aimed to calculate daily maximum ground surface temperature affecting heatwaves, to quantify the effects of urban thermal environment control through water cycle restoration while validating its feasibility. The maximum surface temperature regression equation according to the impermeable area ratios of urban land cover types was derived. The estimated values from daily maximum ground surface temperature regression equation were compared with actual measured values to validate the calculation method’s feasibility. The land cover classification and derivation of specific parameters were conducted by classifying land cover into buildings, roads, rivers, and lands. Detailed parameters were classified by the river area ratio, land impermeable area ratio, and green area ratio of each land-cover type, with the exception of the rivers, to derive the maximum surface temperature regression equation of each land cover type. The regression equation feasibility assessment showed that the estimated maximum surface temperature values were within the level of significance. The maximum surface temperature decreased by 0.0450˚C when the green area ratio increased by 1% and increased by 0.0321˚C when the impermeable area ratio increased by 1%. It was determined that the surface reduction effect through increases in the green area ratio was 29% higher than the increasing effect of surface temperature due to the impermeable land ratio.

본 연구는 지속가능한 옥상녹화 식재계획을 위하여 관리조방형 옥상녹화 식재식물에 대한 다년간 조사결과를 토대로 피복률 변화의 양상을 분석하고 피복특성을 유형화하였다. 실험대상지는 2007년에 조성된 서울여자대학교 행정관 옥상녹화지이며 식물은 기린초 등을 포함한 4종류의 세덤류와 층꽃나무 등 다년생 초화류 14종을 포함하여 총 18종 이식재되었다. 식재식물 피복변화 모니터링은 2007년부터 2009년까지 3년간 실시하였다. 조사결과 피복률은 식재 후2년이 경과한 2008년에는 전반적으로 안정세를 보이거나 다소 증가한 반면 2009년 들어서는 세덤류와 섬백리향 등총 6종을 제외하고는 대다수 감소하는 양상을 보였다. 피복양상을 관찰한 결과 크게 4가지 유형으로 식재지유지형, 인접지역 잠식형, 포복 확산형, 산발 확산형으로 분류하였다. 또한 주요기간의 피복률 데이터를 종속변수로 하여 식재후 경과 시간과 단순회귀분석을 실시하였으며, 최종적으로 총 8종에서 통계적 유의수준 하에서 피복률 변화양상 예측모델이 도출되었다. 향후 다양한 식물들에 대한 장기적인 피복특성 모니터링을 통해 지속가능한 옥상녹화 식재계획을 위한 다양한 식물정보 구축이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

본 연구는 공동주택단지 용적률변화에 따른 녹지면적 및 녹지구조의 변화파악을 목적으로 수행하였다. 대상지는 용적률 100%이하, 용적률 250%이하, 용적률 250%이상의 세 유형으로 구분하여 각 유형별로 2개소씩 선정하였다. 1970～1980년에 조성한 용적률 99%인 화곡제2주공아파트와 용적률 73%인 개포주공아파트는 녹지면적 비율 40.23～44.23%, 녹지 폭 3～ 15m 녹지 량 1.06～1.71㎥／m2, 교목층 식재밀도 0.04～0.06주／m2 관목층 식재밀도 0.06 ～0.20주／m2이었다. 1990년대에 조성한 용적률 226%인 등촌주공아파트와 용적률 240%인 개화 아파트는 녹지면적비율 24 16～26.16%, 녹지폭3～7m, 녹지량 0.84～l.54㎥／m2, 교목층 식재밀도 0.18～0.31주／m2, 관목층 식재밀도0.15～0.35주／m2이었다. 1990년대말에 조성한 용적률 269%인 한보구암아파트와 용적률 376%인 동아3차아파트는 녹지면적비율 23.47～25.53%, 녹지폭 2～6m, 녹지량1.06～2.12㎥／m2, 교목층 식재밀도 0.25주／m2, 관목층 식재밀도 0.22～0.37주／m2이었다. 용적률변화에 따른 녹지구조 분석결과 녹지면적은 용적률이 높을수록 넓었으나, 녹지량과 식재밀도는 용적률의 변화와 상관없이 전체적으로 낮은 상태이었고 식재구조는 외래종위주의 단층구조이었다.

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 objectives of this study were to compare growth of Pllioblastus pygmaed and soil characteristics as affected by difference of soil thickness and mixture ratio in shallow-extensive green roof module system, and to identify the level of soil thickness and mixture as suitable growing condition to achieve the desired plants in green roof. Different soil thickness levels were achieved under 15cm and 25cm of shallow-extensive green roof module system that was made by woody materials for 500×500×300mm. Soil mixture ratio were three types for perlit: peatmoss: leafmold=6:2:2(v/v/v, P6P2L2), perlit: peatmoss: leafmold=5:3:2(v/v/v, P5P3L2) and perlit: peatmoss: leafmold=4:4:2(v/v/v, P4P4L2 ). On June 2006, Pllioblastus pygmaed were planted directly in a green roof module system in rows. All treatment were arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replication. The results are summarized below. In term of soil characteristics, Soil acidity and electric conductivity was measured in pH 6.0∼6.6 and 0.12dS/m∼0.19dS/m, respectively. Organic matter and exchangeable cations desorption fell in the order: P4P4L2> P5P3L2> P6P2L2. P6P2L2 had higher levels of the total solid phase and liquid phase, and P4P4L2 had gas phase for three phases of soil in the 15cm and 25cm soil thickness. Although Pllioblastus pygmaed was possibled soil thickness 15cm, there was a trend towards increased soil thickness with increased leaf length, number of leaves and chlorophyll contents in 25cm. The growth response of Pllioblastus pygmaed had fine and sustain condition in order to P6P2L2 = P5P3L2 > P4P4L2. However, The results of this study suggested that plants grown under P4P4L2 appear a higher density ground covering than plants grown under P6P2L2. Collectively, our data emphasize that soil thickness for growth of Pllioblastus pygmaed were greater than soil mixture ratio in shallow-extensive green roof module system.

본 연구는 다양한 옥상의 환경조건을 감안해 볼 때 지속적인 생장과 생존이 가능한 범위 내의 토양 토심 및 토양배합비에 따른 토양수분변화를 검토함으로써 현재 일률적으로 규정되어 있는 토심을 줄여 하중을 줄이고, 최소한의 관수만으로도 적정수준의 생육에 필요한 토양층 조성을 도출하고자 하였다. 또한 순비기나무 생육에 효과적인 관리방법과 토양조건의 조합형을 탐색제안함으로써 설계 및 시공관리기술의 개발에 필요한 기초자료와 정책에 반영할 수 있는 방안을 모색하고자 하며, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 대체적으로 모든 실험구에서 토양수분함량이 점점 감소하는 경향을 보이다가 관수를 포함한 강우 시 수분함량이 올라갔으며, S10, S7L3, S5L5 실험구의 경우에는 강우 후 수분함량이 급격히 떨어지는 경향을 나타내었다. 이에 비해 피트모스와 펄라이트가 포함된 P7P1L2, P6P2L2, P5P3L2, P4P4L2 실험구는 완만하게 감소하여 저관리를 위한 옥상에서의 인공토양 사용은 불가피할 것으로 판단된다. 인공토양을 이용한 적정토심 및 토양 배합비는 관수시점 및 강우와 밀접한 관련이 있다고 판단되며, 7㎝ 토심의 경우 잦은 수분관리가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 15㎝ 실험구의 14일 무관수에서도 충분히 순비기나무가 생육한 점과 P6P2L2 이상의 피트모스 배합비에서 왕성한 생육이 이루어진 점에서 미루어 볼 때 15일 이상의 저관리에 필요한 인공토양의 배합비는 펄라이트 피트모스 부엽토가 6:2:2, 5:3:2, 4:4:2가 될 것으로 판단된다. 다만, 펄라이트가 많이 배합된 토양에서는 토양이 물을 흡입하는 힘인 토양수분장력(kPa)이 높은 수치로 올라가 추후 순비기나무가 활발히 성장할 수 있는 수분장력의 범위를 설정하는데 연구가 지속되어야 할 것이다. 토심 및 토양배합비에 따른 순비기나무의 광합성특성을 살펴보면 수분함량이 적은 7㎝ 실험구에서는 거의 이루어지지 않았으며, 15cm나 25㎝ 실험구 중 인공토양이 배합된 곳에서 활발하게 이루어진 것으로 나타났다. 또한 통계적으로 살펴볼 때 수분함량이 1%씩 증가할 때 광합성률은 2.82%씩 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며 99%의 유의수준을 보였다. 추후 연구에서는 순비기나무의 생육에 필요한 최소한의 수분함량을 판단하고 그에 따른 토양토심별 적정 관수시점을 찾아내 저관리 옥상녹화와 더불어 식물소재 개발에 이바지 하고자 한다. 또한 순비기나무 이외에 옥상녹화에 적합한 목본을 선정하고, 도시열섬현상 완화 효과를 규명하며, 이를 바탕으로 우리나라 중부지역에 알맞은 저관리형 옥상녹화시스템을 구축하고자 하는 연구가 진행되어야 할 것이다.

The present study examined the relation between land cover condition and temperature in various types of urban green spaces. The diagram of temperature distribution showed that high-temperature zones are formed around paved areas, and low temperature zone around planted areas and grassy areas. Even in planted areas where low-temperature zones were formed, temperature was different according to hierarchical structure. That is, temperature was relatively low in areas covered with arbor + sub-arbor. With regard to land cover ratio, the increase of planted areas and grassy areas had an effect on the fall of temperature and the effect was higher in order of planted areas and grassy areas. On the contrary, paved areas and bare areas had an effect on the rise of temperature. According to the results of factor analysis, in case of the highest temperature, planted area and grassy area were put together into a factor lowering temperature, paved area and temperature into a factor raising temperature, and bare area alone into a factor of low significance. In case of the lowest temperature, grassy area and bare area were put together into a factor, and the validity of the factor analysis was proved by the analysis of urban heat islands. An increase in the number of trees by height was effective in lowering temperature, and the effect was high in order to arbor and sub-arbor, and the source of coldness in planted area was tall trees.
