Invasive alien plants were identified and recorded in Ulsan city based on field surveys and related literatures. These plants consisted of 147 taxa in total, belonging to 30 families, 93 genera, 144 species, 2 subspecies and 1 variant. The family of Asteraceae was predominant with 42 taxa, followed by Gramineae with 27 taxa and Leguminosae with 15 taxa. According to the result of life-form based distribution analysis revealed that 62 taxa (42.2%) were annual plants, 48 taxa (33.6%) were perennial plants, 34 taxa (23.1%) were biennial plants, and 3 taxa (2%) were woody perennials. Compare to other administrative districts in Korea, prevalence of invasive alien plants in a certain city of Ulsan showed the seventh highest species number followed after Jeju, Gyeonggi, Jeonnam, Incheon, Seoul and Gangwon. On the basis of the results from the country origin analysis, two dominating taxa were introduced from Europe and America, 55 taxa and 51 taxa respectively. The spreading grade of alien plants was elucidated in order of 1 grade (PS) 67 grade (21.1%)>2 grade (MS) 31 taxa (21.1%) >5 grade (WS) 18 taxa (11.6%)>3 grade (CS) 17 taxa (11.6%)>4 grade (SS) 14 taxa (9.5%). Ulsan city is one of a pivotal conduit for the introduction of invasive alien plants. Thereby, reliable management plans are required to monitor these species.

본 연구는 울산 지역에서 성장 잠재력이 높은 농작물을 선정하고자 농작물의 재배면적 및 농업생산액에 대한 2000, 2005 및 2007년의 공식통계자료와 행정자료를 사용하여 특화계수분석과 지역성장률시차 분석을 하였다. 재배면적과 농업생산액에 의한 특화계수분석에 따르면, 쌀, 배, 감 등은 모든 분석시점에서 특화작목으로 분류되고 있다. 이들 작목들은 지역 내에서 차지하는 비중이 상대적으로 높아서 중요하기 때문에 지역농업인들의 영농활동지원 차원에서 단기적인 정책에 반영하는 것이 유용할 것이다. 2000~2007년의 농업생산액을 기준으로 한 지역성장률시차분석결과에 의하면, 딸기, 감, 감자, 옥수수, 고구마 등이 성장작목으로, 배가 경쟁우위작목으로 분류되고 있다. 재배면적 기준에서는, 딸기, 감자, 옥수수 등이 성장작목으로, 고구마가 경쟁우위작목으로 분류되었다. 이들 작목은 시장의 선호도와 생산자의 의지를 반영한 전국적인 추세와 지역의 생산 활동을 고려한 시계열 분석이라는 차원에서 지방자치단체는 중장기 농업정책 수립에 활용하는 것이 유익할 것이다.

꼬마잠자리 서식지의 보전 및 복원을 위한 기초자료를 제공하기 위해, 2008년 6월부터 2011-7월까지 4년에 걸쳐 울산광역시 중구 다운동에 위치한 휴경지를 대상으로 서식지 변화와 휴경지 내에 서식하는 곤충상과 식물상을 조사하였다. 그 결과 곤충은 총 10목 32과 53종이 조사되었고, 잠자리목, 노린재목, 딱정벌레목이 총 18.9%로 우점하였다. 식물은 총 23목 30과 60종이 조사되었고, 사초과(13.3%)와 벼과(11.7%)가 우점하였다. 본 조사지역에는 목본 식물이 유입되면서 천이가 빠르게 진행되고 수생식물의 서식지를 잠식해 육지화되고 있다. 또한 이 지역에서의 식식성 곤충과 산지성 곤충이 증가하고 있다. 그 결과 꼬마잠자리의 서식지는 수심이 2.5~9.5cm로 일정하게 유지되고, 수면이 개방되어 있는 곳으로 이동되었다. 따라서 이 지역에서의 꼬마잠자리 서식지의 지속적인 보전과 유지를 위해서는 생태특성을 파악하여 장기적인 모니터링과 적절한 관리가 필요하다.

This paper is an effort to describe dietary behaviors to keep them healthy among adults. A probability sample was drawn from residents aged between 15 and 60 living in Ulsan City area through a multi-staged cluster sampling method. The data collected by face-to-face interview includes 1,232 respondents. Both univariate and bivariate analyses were employed to describe the dietary behaviors. The dietary behaviors in this study includes preference of taking fat-part of meat, fried food, salty food, hot-taste food, drinking coffee and milk, and taking supplementary medicine. About half of the respondents reported to take fat removed when eating meat, and more than 68% of them preferred not to take any kinds of fried food. With respect to preference of salty and hot-taste food, 39.6% of the respondents take medium-salty and 39.4% do hot-taste food. A third of the respondents drink two-four cups of coffee a day. Those who reported not to drink milk at all were prevalent(37.4% of the respondents) than expected. However, less than 20% of the respondents reported to have any kinds of supplementary health food in a year. These dietary behaviors were examined by sociodemographic characteristics for bivariate analyses.

Since climate change increases the risk of extreme rainfall events, concerns on flood management have also increased. In order to rapidly recover from flood damages and prevent secondary damages, fast collection and treatment of flood debris are necessary. Therefore, a quick and precise estimation of flood debris generation is a crucial procedure in disaster management. Despite the importance of debris estimation, methodologies have not been well established. Given the intrinsic heterogeneity of flood debris from local conditions, a regional-scale model can increase the accuracy of the estimation. The objectives of this study are 1) to identify significant damage variables to predict the flood debris generation, 2) to ascertain the difference in the coefficients, and 3) to evaluate the accuracy of the debris estimation model. The scope of this work is flood events in Ulsan city region during 2008-2016. According to the correlation test and multicollinearity test, the number of damaged buildings, area of damaged cropland, and length of damaged roads were derived as significant parameters. Key parameters seems to be strongly dependent on regional conditions and not only selected parameters but also coefficients in this study were different from those in previous studies. The debris estimation in this study has better accuracy than previous models in nationwide scale. It can be said that the development of a regional-scale flood debris estimation model will enhance the accuracy of the prediction.

Ulsan made its contributions to modern Korea as an industrial city. In the 1960s, Ulsan was appointed as a special industrial zone. After that, industrial complexes were built without environmental considerations so Ulsan was once called “the polluted city”. However, in the early 2000s, the main concern of Ulsan’s policies was gradually shifted from the economic growth to the environmental issues. In order to enhance the environmental quality and to make the Ulsan more environmentally friendly eco-city where human and nature coexist, Ulsan city declared “The Eco-polis Ulsan” in 2004 based on “The Master Plan for Eco-polis Ulsan” which included the eco-industrial park as an action plan. This study aims at defining the concepts of eco-city and policies to build Ulsan-style eco-city as environmentally friendly city and proposing Ulsan as a role model to cities and towns of developing countries. In addition, Ulsan’s EIP project which will be implemented for 15 years from 2005, is elaborated including regulatory issues and technologies to be applied.

전 세계적으로 지구온난화에 따른 기후변화가 심각해짐에 따라 자연재해 발생빈도 및 피해 규모가 대형화/광역화되고 있으며 자연재해 발생 유형 또한 다양화 되며, 자연재해에 의한 경제적 손실이 전 세계적으로 발생되고 있다. 특히 단시간 동안 특정지역에 집중되는 국지성 집중호우가 빈번히 발생하고 있으며, 산업화에 의한 인구의 도시지역 집중현상으로 토지이용도가 극대화되면서 하천변, 홍수터 등 저지대에까지 생활공간이 확대됨에 따라 과거에 비해 동일한 호우에 대해서도 침수피해가 증가하고 있다. 그러므로 수해 위험도 산정을 통하여 예방 및 대비 대책 수립에 활용함으로써 경제·산업적으로 피해를 완화할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 울산시의 102개 하천을 대상으로 하천정비기본계획에서 제시된 계획홍수위를 이용한 홍수위 수치표고모델과 울산시의 지형적 특성이 반영된 10m10m 격자 크기의 지형 수치표고모델의 차이로부터 침수심 및 면적을 산정하여 수해 위험도 분석을 수행하였다.

Daily living area can be delimited differently depending on what area is to be focused. Based on regional interaction, the present study empirically analyzed the difference between living areas focusing on rural area and ones relying on urban area. We established two types of living areas in Busan-Ulsan mega city with different focus areas (rural versus urban), using travel OD data (2006). According to the result, the fonn of spatial clusters in urban living area differed from that of spatial clusters in rural area; the boundaries of living area were not fit to those of administrative areas in both types; and living areas in both types tended to extend over more than two administrative areas. The results cast some implications concerning spatial planning and policy for living area delimitation. First, since the spatial structure and interconnection of urban area differs to those of rural area, it is required to delimit living areas discriminatively depending on the objectives of the spatial plan. Additionally, the living area should be established more specifically and systematically by further subdividing the form of spaces depending on the objectives and types of the plan. Second, the administrative areas should be consolidated now that the difference of boundaries of administrative and living areas lead to inconvenience of residents, increased administration costs and scale diseconomy. Lastly, the living areas should be delimited by the metropolitan or mega city planning and thus be reflected to its offsprings.

The high surface area polymer, AquaMatsⓇ was used for the leachate purification process originated from the Samsan Dong Landfill in Ulsan Metropolitan City. And then, three species of dominant microbes were isolated and identified from AquaMatsⓇ. Gram staining revealed these microbes to be Gram-negative rod strains: They were identified as Agrobacterium radiobacter, Pseudomonas cepacia, Flavobacterium indologenes. All they showed no growth on media in which the leachate was added alone, but a rapid proliferation rate on media with yeast extract as nutrient requirements.
