Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the natural river conservation work and to find remedies for them, targeting Jangsu-cheon with high frequency of use by citizens among the rivers in Incheon Metroplitan City, Korea; for this, this study conducted investigations and analyses of Jangsu-cheon completed in December, 2008. As a result of investigating 3 spots for the water system of Jangsu-cheon over a total of 3 years (2009, 2010, 2014), it was found that benthic macro-invertebrates of a total of 3 phyla, 5 classes, 11 orders, 26 families, 56 species, and 980 specimens were distributed there. When they were analyzed by year, 18 families and 30 species in 2009, right after the natural river conservation work, and 22 families and 37 species in 2010, 2 years after the work, were found, with 7 species increasing in number; after that, as a result of the investigation in 2014, 22 families and 38 species were found, which tells the river has entered the stabilization stage since the recovery in 2010.Therefore, this study could identify: the water environment of the river was improved due to the natural river conservation work for Jangsu-cheon; in addition, Jangsu-cheon showed good ecological environment due to the continuous maintenance of the good wetlands in Incheon Grand Park in the upper area of the river; and the natural river conservation work of Jangsu-cheon created positive effects.

인천광역시 관내에 분포하는 하천 중 시민의 이용 빈도가 높은 장수천을 대상으로 자연형 하천 조성에 따른 영향 및 개선방안을 도출하기 위해 연구를 수행하였으며, 이를 위해 2008년 12월에 준공된 장수천에 대하여 조사 및 분석을 실시하였다. 장수천 수계에 대해 3개 지점을 대상으로 총 3차년도(2009, 2010, 2014)에 걸쳐 조사한 결과 총 3문 5강 11목 26과 56종 980개체의 저서성대형무척추동물이 분포하는 것으로 조사되었다. 이를 각 연차별로 분석해 보면 자연형 하천 공사 직후인 2009년에 18과 30종, 공사 후 2년차인 2010년에는 22과 37종으로 7종이 증가한 것으로 조사되었으며, 이후 2014년 조사 결과 22과 38종으로 2010년 회복 후 안정화 단계에 들어선 것으로 볼 수 있다. 이는 장수천 자연형 하천 조성사업으로 인해 하천 수환경의 개선이 이루어진 것을 확인 할 수 있었으며, 아울러, 장수천의 경우 상류부 지역의 인천대공원 내 양호한 습지지역의 지속적인 유지 관리 노력으로 인해 양호한 생태환경을 보여주고 있으며, 장수천 자연형 하천조성 사업과 함께 긍정적 효과를 내고 있는 것으로 확인되었다.
