본 연구는 대전천과 유등천의 하천변에 서식하는 육상곤충을 이용해 하천정비공사가 인근 생물에 끼치는 영향을 알아보기 위한 것으로 2008년 4월부터 10월까지 총 7회에 걸쳐 조사를 수행하고 그 결과를 분석하였다. 조사기간 동안 출현한 곤충은 총 10목 110과 428종으로 대전천에서 조사된 곤충은 11목 99과 335종, 유등천에서 조사된 곤충은 11목 98과 350종이었다. 대전천은 D-1지점과 D-2지점에서 178종이 출현하여 가장 많은 종수가 확인되었고, 유등천은 Y-1지점에서 179종이 출현하여 가장 많은 종수가 확인되었다. 유사도 지수를 근거로 각 지점별 클러스터 분석을 실시해본 결과, 하천정비공사가 진행되지 않은 지역(A그룹)과 하천정비공사가 진행된 도심관통 지역(B그룹)으로 그룹화 되었다. 또한 A그룹에서도 각 조사지점이 대전천(A-1그룹)과 유등천(A-2그룹)으로 나뉘어 하천의 지역적 차별성에 따른 곤충의 출현이 상대적임을 알 수 있었다.

According to the survey map, the altitudes of up and down the Ansungchon were 242m and 49m accordingly. The width of the river was 4m at upperstream and became wider, 28m at midstream and 114m at downstream. Water pH of the Ansungchon was measured variously in the range of 6.0-7.9 according to the surveyed times and areas. The water pH measured during June through August decreased continually and suddenly increased at the end of October. Phragmites japonica, a major species of the fresh water emergent anchored hydrophytes, was surveyed mostly in the area of upperstream, Phragmites communis, Miscanthus sacchariflorus and Typha orientalis were surveyed in the areas of midstream and downstream, and Zizania latifolia was found in all areas of the river. The total of 101 taxa dividing into 32 families, 71 genera, 88 species, and 13 varieties have been inhabited in these areas. Among the inhabited plants, Poaceae was 21.8%, which appeared in the highest percent. Compositae was 20.8%, and Polygonaceae was 11.9%. In the surveyed areas, herbaceous plants were 95.1% and mostly occupied, and woody plants were 4.9%. Among the herbaceous plants, perennial plants were 52.5%, and annual and biannual plants were 28.7% and 13.9% accordingly. Naturalized plants dividing into 8 families and 18 genera have been found in the surveyed areas. The number of the naturalized plants increased from upperstream to downstream as the environmental disruption became worse. Only 2.5% of the total naturalized plants were appeared in up, 17.7% in midstream, and 28.6% in downstream. Shannon-Weiner's index for the degree of diversity was 2.898-3.666 in the area of upperstream, but 3.708-4.135 in downstream, which was little higher.
