The purpose of this study is to interpret a house as material into culture. Main method is an ethnographic interview with dwellers as a part of a participant observation, a kind qualitative study. Significantly two different types of folk housing are discovered in East and West areas of the Cheju Island. In the East, kitchen itself forms a separated building, Jeongji-gori, whereas in the West, kitchen is within a main building, An-gori. Different type of kitchen is formed by the different family system. While independent family system of son and father selects a separate kitchen building as a general rule of Cheju Island, an extended family system between father and son selects same kitchen, Jeongji-gori, in the east area. Natural environment of infertile soil of east area makes family work together and eat together. Inner space of the kitchen building is utilized not only in cooking but also in eating, working, and sleeping. In order to explain folk house type, a 'culture area' concept is suggested. The interrelated 'cultural type' of architecture behind a physical surface 'type' is suggested as a new typology.

This study was conducted to provide the basic information for making the plans on reasonable conservation of inland wetlands by analysis the vascular plant and life form at Dongpan and Sannam wetland in Junam reservoir, Changwon City. The vascular plants at Dongpan and Sannam wetland were 162 taxa, 58 families, 130 genera, 148 species, 2 subspecies, 1 forma, 11 varieties, and 117 taxa, 45 families, 97 genera, 107 species, 1 forma, and 9 varieties, respectively. The Pte-Q (Pteridophyta Index) was 0.31 at Dongpan and 0.43 at Sannam. The endangered plants by designated Korea Forest Service were 3 taxa including Euryale ferox, Aristolochia contorta and Hydrocharis dubia. The specific plants by floristic region were 11 taxa at Dongpan wetland, and 8 taxa at Sannam wetland. The naturalized plants were 28 taxa including Rumex crispus, Phytolacca americana at Dongpan wetland, and 12 taxa including Lepidium apetalum, Erigeron annuus at Sannam wetland. Therophyte by life form had the highest ratio at two wetlands. Hydrophyte at Dongpan and Sannam wetland were 22 and 21 taxa, respectively.

This study aims at classifying and interpreting on the vegetation structure, the correlation between a vegetation and an environment, a species diversity and a life-form of Evergreen Broad-Leaved Forest(EBLF) located in Gageo-do Island. It is also the objective that the estimation of vegetation change founded on the species composition and characteristics. The vegetation of EBLF was classified into three forests or four community units as Machilus thunbergii forest (Polystichum polyblepharon-M. thunbergii community and Phaenosperma globosum-M. thunbergii community), Ilex integra-Castanopsis sieboldii community, Quercus acuta community and Neolitsea sericea stand. The ordination analysis by DCA is analogous with the vegetation structure analysis. As a result of the correlation (Pearson's correlation coefficient) with environmental conditions, the Altitude has the significance with the distribution of communities. The total vegetation change by progress of succession will not be wandered away from the present vegetation structure practically, and the vegetation on the underlayers will be a little changed.

기후적인 인자와 양치식물과의 관계를 밝히기 위한 선행연구로서, 우리나라 양치식물 총 321분류군을 대상으로 이들의 생활형에 대하여 휴면형태 및 잎의 계절성을 중심으로 한 분류군별 구성 분석을 수행하여 국내 양치식물의 life-form spectrum을 제시하고자 하였다. 휴면형의 경우, Raunkiaer의 기준으로, 국내 외 표본관의 소장표본 및 전문 연구 자료를 조사하여 구분 정리하였으며, 잎의 계절성에 대하여는 문헌, 개인관찰기록, 개인서신 등에 기초하였다. 아울러 분류 정리된 생활형을 중심으로 각 과별 특성도 살펴보았다. 잎의 계절성 양상에 따른 구분 결과로는 하록성(d), 상록성(e), 동록성(sd)이 각각 37.4%, 59.2%, 1.9%으로 상록성 양치식물이 상대적으로 많이 분포하는 것으로 나타났으며, 분류군별 휴면형에 따라서는 반지중식물(Hemicryptophytes: H)이 42.1%로 가장 높은 비율로 나타났고, 다음으로 지중식물(Geophytes: G)과 착생식물(Epiphytes: E)이 각각 25.5%, 15.9% 이었으며, 지표식물(Chamaephytes: Ch)이 11.8%로 조사되었다. 향후 지역별 식물상에서 양치식물상을 추출하여 유사한 spectrum을 나타내는 지역을 연결한 양치식물 생활형선(Ptph. life-form line)을 도출함으로써 우리나라 양치식물의 분포역 고찰이 가능할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

According to previous research on evaluating vegetative value of wetland and RAM evaluation targeting the man-made wetland in Gunsan, Gunsan Reservoir and Gongchang Reservoir had been found to have satisfactory results while Anjeong Reservoir and Changan Reservoir had been found to have unsatisfactory results. Aimed at those reservoirs, a vegetation survey was conducted to analyze differences in terms of flora and growth habit. As for the flora, Gunsan Reservoir ranked first with 433 kinds of plants, followed by Gongchang Reservoir with 306, Changan Reservoir with 176 and Anjeong Reservoir with 167. As for specific plant species by floristic region, it was identified that Gunsan Reservoir had 18 species, larger than other wetlands and also, it had more species of naturalized plants than others. This phenomenon is related to various wetland environments resulted from wider area of Gunsan Reservoir. In the case of dormancy form, hemicryptophytes were mainly distributed in Gunsan Reservoir and Gongchang Reservoir while annual plants were mainly distributed in Anjeong Reservoir and Changan Reservoir with heavy disturbance.

This study was survey a flora and life form spectrum of 11 uninhabited islets, in jeju-do. The vascular plants of each uninhabited islets were summarized as Beomseom 159 taxa, Chagwi-do 136 taxa, Daryeo-do 81 taxa, Hyeongje-do 61 taxa, Jigwi-do 39 taxa, Munseom 147 taxa, Ran-do 58 taxa, Saeseom 65 taxa, Seogeondo 60 taxa, Seopseom 183 taxa and Wa-do 46 taxa. Floristic richness was in order analyzed to be Seogeon-do 28.62, Ran-do 19.24, Daryeo-do 18.53, Wa-do 16.42, Munseom 16.14, Hyeongje-do 14.76, Seopseom 13.32, Beomseom 13.24, Chagwi-do 6.15, Saeseom 5.86 and Jigwi-do 2.51. Life form spectrum was surveyed to H-D5-R4-e; hemieryptophyte(H) 26.8％, not production seeds(D5) 54.4％, clonal growth by stolons and struck roots(R4) 46.9％ and erect form(e) 30.3％. According to the life form spectrum hemieryptophyte dominated high portions, which suggests islet in jeju-do has hemieryptophytic climate and similar to middle parts in Korean Peninsular. However, were noticed by that it has more therophytes. As a result, Partially shows the characteristics change from the temperate climate to the warm temperate climate or a semitropical climate by a climatic change.

This study was performed to get more knowledge on the flora and their life form spectrum in the Hallasan Natural Reserve. The vascular plants include 83 species 35 genera 12 families of pteridophytes, 5 varieties 5 species 3 families of gymnosperm, 100 taxa in 2 varieties 98 species 58 genera 8 families of monocotyledon and 362 taxa in 3 forma 10 varieties 349 species 186 genera 65 families of dicotyledon in Hallasan Natural Reserve. The total of vascular plants is 550 taxa in 3 forma 11 varieties 536 species 284 genera 88 families. Among these, 204 species in total including 19 species of pteridophytes, 2 species of conifers, 45 species of monocotyledon and 138 species of dicotyledon are found only in the Hallasan Natural Reserve. The pteridophyte-quotient is 4.52 and floristic richness is 1.94. In the analysis of life form spectrum, there are 190 species (34.5%) of hemicryptophytes and 122 species (22.2%) of geophytes so that two life forms take large portions, 312 species (56.7%) of the vegetation in Hallasan Natural Reserve. Megaphanerophytes and microphanerophytes take 14.5% including 80 species followed by 83 species (15.1%) of nanophanerophytes, 42 species (7.6%) of chamaephytes, 29 species (5.3%) of therophytes, 24 species (4.4%) of hydrophytes and 18 species (3.3%) of epiphytes. According to the life form spectrum hemicryptophytes dominated high portions, which suggests Hallasan Natural Reserve has hemicryptophytic climate and similar to middle parts in the Korean Peninsular. The differences, however, were noticed by that it has more chamaephytes and less therophytes than that of the Peninsular and partially shows the characteristics of artic or subalpine climate.

광릉숲 양치식물을 중심으로 한 집중적인 조사를 통하여 이 지역에 분포하는 양치식물을 정확히 밝히고자 하였다. 광릉숲에는 9과 17속 43종 3변종 총 46종류의 양치식물이 분포하고 있으며, 지역별 출현식물을 보면, 쇠뜨기, 고사리삼 등 26종류가 광릉숲 전지역에 걸쳐 분포하는 것으로 나타났으며, 꿩고비, 지리개관중 등 5종류가 소리봉 일대를 중심으로 하여 한정 분포하는 것으로 나타났다. 또, 산림동물원 계곡부를 중심으로 낚시고사리, 광릉족제비고사리 등이 분포하였고, 왕지네고사리, 참새발고사리 등은 외국수목원 일대에 국한된 분포역을 형성하고 있었다. 생활형을 보면, 휴면형(Domancy form)은 H(Hemicryptophyte)의 비율이 56.5%로 가장 높았으며, HH(Hydatophyte)가 2.2%로 가장 낮은 값을 보였다. 번식형(Propagation form)의 지하기관형(Radicoid form)은 대부분이 근경이 짧게 분지하고 가장 좁은 범위의 연결체를 갖는 R3으로 39.1%이며, 근경이 옆으로 벋고 약간 넓은 범위의 연결체를 갖는 R2가 2.2%이었고, 산포기관형(Disseminule form)은 모두 포자가 바람이나 물에 의해 운반되는 D1이었다. 생육형(Growth form)은 t(Tussock)와 e(Erect)가 각각 67.4%와 32.6%로 나타나 광릉숲 양치식물의 대표적인 생활형은 H-R3-D1-t로 정리되었다. 광릉숲의 양치식물계수(Ptph.-Q.)는 1.28로 한반도 중부지역과 비교하였을 때 상대적으로 다소 높은 수치를 보이고 있어, 이 지역이 학술림으로서 안정적으로 보전 관리되고 있음을 알수 있다.
