본 연구는 서울광역도시권에서 나타나는 도시 스프롤과 통근 패턴간에 어떤 관계가 있는지 분석하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 선행 연구에서 산출된 스프롤 지수들과 사회경제적 특성을 나타내는 주요 지표들을 설명변수로 하고, 자가용 통근시 평균 운전 시간과 대중교통이용 통근자 비율을 종속변수로 하여 두 가지의 회귀모형을 구성하였다. OLS 분석에 비해 GWR 분석에서 모형의 설명력과 적합도가 개선되었으며, 설명변수 중 밀도의 영향력이 가장 큰 것으로 나타났다. 또한 GWR 분석에 의해 전역적 모형에서 는 유의하지 않았으나 국지적으로는 유의하게 나타나는 다양한 설명변수들을 확인할 수 있었다.

도심과 교외에 식재 또는 자생하고 있는 수목의 해충 발생 양상을 파악하기 위하여 2022년 5월부터 9월까지 전남 및 전북 내 총 6개소(전북 익산 2개소, 김제 1개소, 광주 3개소)에서 조사를 실시하였다. 조사지 6개소는 조사지역(공원)이 위치한 지역 특성에 따라 산림인접지역, 수변지 역, 도심지역 세 개의 지역으로 구분하여 각 특성 지역에 따라 확인되는 해충의 다양성을 비교, 분석하였다. 조사 결과 6개소의 조사지역에서 총 5 목 27과 49속 51종의 해충 분류군이 총 13과 21종의 주요 가로수종으로부터 확인되었다. 해충 분류군 중에서 노린재목이 12과 20속 22종으로 가장 많은 종이 포함되어 있었으며, 가로수 수종에서는 왕벚나무가 25종의 가장 다양한 해충의 피해를 입는 것을 확인하였다. 조사지역 특성별 비 교를 하였을 때, 수변지역 공원에 식재 또는 자생하는 수종은 상대적으로 적었지만 산림인접지역과 도심지역 공원에 비해서 가장 많은 해충 종 수 를 확인하였다. 해충이 가해하는 부위로는 잎을 가해하는 해충이 총 22종으로 가장 많았다. 본 조사를 통해 확보한 각 가로수 수종에 발생하는 해 충의 분류군 목록을 작성하였으며, 이 중에서 피해가 심한 6종을 선정하였다. 도심 뿐만 아니라 교외지역에서의 다양한 가로수 분포 범위가 확대 됨에 따라 발생할 수 있는 수목 해충이 증가될 수 있으므로 지속적인 해충 발생 양상 조사와 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단한다.

To analyze the cooling effect of urban green areas, we conducted micrometeorological measurements in these areas and their surroundings in Seoul, Korea. From the average hourly temperature measurements through each month for the last two years (March 2013 to February 2015), we found that the maximum temperature difference between urban and green areas was about 2.9℃ at 16:00 LST in summer, and the minimum was about 1.7℃ at 22:00 LST in winter. In summer, the temperature difference was the largest during the day, rather than at night, due mainly to shading by the tree canopy. The specific humidity difference between the two areas was about 1.5 g kg-1 in summer, and this decreased in the winter. The specific humidity difference between urban and green areas in summer is relatively large during the day, due to the higher evapotranspiration level of biologically active plants.

This study was carried out to investigate and assess the cold tolerance of 24 species broad-leaved evergreen trees in southern region, South Korea, and propose the selection for urban greening responsive to the climate change. The cold stressed impact of each species was measured and calculated by the electrolyte leakage (EL) method, and then the lethal temperature was predicted by the non-linear regression analysis. The scattered plots and fitted curves of most species tended to show sigmoidal response curve. On assessing the EL values and sigmoidal response curve pattern with different temperature, the differences were obviously showed among all the species. Also, among the species within the same family, the differences were obviously showed. The maximum temperature difference among the species was over 10℃. Between Ilex rutunda and Ilex integra within the same family, Aquifoliaceae, it was over 10℃. The results indicate that there are significant differences in cold tolerance among different species in the same region, which are not affected by any environmental factors but affected by any genetical factors. Thus it is valuable to assess the cold tolerance on most broad-leaved evergreen trees in southern region, South Korea. As a result, Euonymus japonicus, Trachelospermum asiaticum, Dendropanax morbiferus, Ilex integra, Machilus thunbergii, Ilex x wandoensis, Cinnamomum japonicum, Distylium racemosum, and Castanopsis sieboldii may have better cold tolerance and survive the region closer to middle region, South Korea compared to the others.

In this study, the regional climate (WRF) and air quality (CMAQ) models were used to simulate the effects of future urban growth on surface ozone concentrations in the Seoul metropolitan region (SMR). These analyses were performed based on changes in ozone concentrations during ozone seasons (May–June) for the year 2050 (future) relative to 2012 (present) by urban growth. The results were compared with the impacts of RCP scenarios on ozone concentrations in the SMR. The fractions of urban in the SMR (25.8 %) for the 2050 were much higher than those (13.9 %) for the 2012 and the future emissions (e.g., CO, NO, NO2, SO2, VOC) were increased from 121 % (NO) to 161.3 % (NO2) depending on emission material. The mean and daily maximum 1-h ozone in the SMR increased about 3 - 7 ppb by the effect the RCP scenarios. However, the effect of urban growth reduced the mean ozone by 3 ppb in the SMR and increased the daily maximum 1-h ozone by 2 - 5 ppb over the northeastern SMR and around the coastline. In particular, the ozone pollution days exceeding the 1-h regulatory standard (100 ppb) were far more affected by urban growth than mean values. As a result, the average number of days exceeding the 1-h regulatory standard increased up to 10 times.

The study area is Cheonjang-ri, also called Alps village, making continuous profit after performing Comprehensive Rural Village Development Projects. This study aims to determine the development process of activities about urban and rural interchange and its characteristics for making continuous profit by residents themselves. A focus on thinking about the process is necessary to make activities in order to achieve continuous profits in the underdeveloped rural village by residents themselves. As a result of this study, Alps village has developed new activities, improving problems which are encountered on the development process of activities. And, Alps village has developed new activities by linking them with previous activities. To improve problems, Alps village has made an effort by itself and cooperated with the subject, both inside and outside of the village. This way has been effective for increasing the number of visitors in village. Increasing the number of visitors in village has been effective in making a continuous profit. Also, continuing to make new activities in order to substitute previous activities including problems has been effective to increase profit.

Numerical simulation is essential to indicate the flow of the atmosphere in the region with a complicated topography which consists of many mountains in the inland while it is neighboring the seashore. Such complicated topography produces land and sea breeze as the mesoscale phenomenon of meteorology which results from the effect of the sea and inland. In the mesoscale simulation examines, the change of the temperature in relation to the one of the sea surface for the boundary condition and, in the inland, the interaction between the atmosphere and land surface reflecting the characteristic of the land surface. This research developed and simulated PNULSM to reflect both the SST and vegetation effect as a bottom boundary for detailed meteorological numerical simulation in coastal urban area. The result from four experiments performed according to this protocol revealed the change of temperature field and wind field depending on each effect. Therefore, the lower level of establishment of bottom boundary suitable for the characteristic of the region is necessary to figure out the atmospheric flow more precisely, and if the characteristic of the surface is improved to more realistic conditions, it will facilitate the simulation of regional environment.

To investigate air quality away from the coastal urban source region, we used a hybrid Eulerian-Lagrangian method which can describe the formation, transport, transformation and deposition processes in complex terrain. with inclusion of shipping sources that were considered to be important emission in the coastal urban region. The result of the Eulerian advection - diffusion prediction was quite similar to that of the Lagrangian particle diffusion prediction. It showed that pollutants emitted from piers can affect the part of inland, especially Dongrae and the coastal area. Those emitted from Sasang and Janglim industrial complexes can affect Hwamyeong and the coastal, respectively. During the daytime the concentration was low due to large deposition flux and terrain effect.

To predict diffusion and movement of air pollutants in coastal urban region a numerical simulation shoud be consider atmospheric flow field with land-sea breeze, mountain-valley wind and urban effects. In this study we used Lagrangian particle dispersion method in the atmospheric flow field of Pusan coastal region to depict diffusion and movement of the pollutants emited from particular sources and employed two grid system, one for large scale calculating region with the coarse mesh grid (CMG) and the other for the small region with the fine mesh grid (FMG). It was found that the dispersion pattern of the pollutants followed local circulation system in coastal urban area and while air pollutants exhausted from Sasang moved into Baekyang and Jang moutain, air pollutants from Janglim moved into Hwameong-dong region.
