Introduction Te Republicof Korea or South Korea (Map 1) is located atthe easter tip ofthe Asian continent, where its bound fon the north by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea for North Korea. In the east, itis characterized by high _mountain anges, whereas the westis composes of flat coastal plains, The annual average precipitation is about 2ram, 70 percent of which falls curing the flood season from Jane to September. This s the largest river basin as it covers about 23400 ki: area and therefore Han River basin locate i the Centre of the Korean Peninstila accounts 23 percent ofthe territory of the Republic of Korea. The Basin re large and divided into two, je. Han River and lnyjin River basin, The present study is based on that patch ofthe Han River basin for which the jn is very tellite image is available. The Han River basin is consicered the heart of South Korea Annual renewable water resources in the Han River basin areestimated at 16bilion m’, Asof2005 only SSbillion sof this amount was in actual use, Owing to the high rate of urbanization, the household sector, which accounts for 28 billion m: (39% of averall consumption), isthe number fone source of consumption followed by agriculture (1.6 billion m’ or 19%) and industry (88 billion m3 or 9%). The remaining 3.3 billion mis allocated for environmental purposes. The quality of surface water varies by location, with downstream Seoul being the worst. However, {implementation of the Environmental Water Management Master Plan should make a big difference throughout the basin. aims tobring drinking water source quality to“good” fr ‘better’ by 2015 by increasing the number ancl capacity of waste water treatment facilities, 86 ACT EAST: Tramitons in nda'sEmpgment with South Kore Map 1: Roputle of Keroo and the sy roa In the present study, only a particular part ofthe Han River basin is considered due fo non-availability of the satellite image of the other part. Availabilty of the satellite ‘mage with same date, even after a gap of one week i also ‘ot available, Therefore, due to this technical snag, Landsat mages forthe path number 113 and row number M are used and the same area of the Han River basin is maintained as the area of interest for this study. The area of interest (study area) is clearly mentioned in the above Map 1 with red patterned lines ‘The Han River basin is almost plain (Map 2) towards the South West and West, hence provides suitable comparative conditions for the development of the urban Cat Varihti, Land Land Lan Cor Change (LULC. 87 areas with large expansions. The riparian area of the river basin is benefitted by the Han river water, 0 the physiogtaphy of riparian area suits the development of dlfferent urban and rural activites. Map 2: Dig ekvaton modo of Hen iver ban ne = Climate variability isa major cause of changing LULC across diferent parts ofthe world because it modifies the natural characteristics of the average climatic conditions. Important major classes of LULC classification are: forest, agriculture, built-up area, water body and shrub lands, and they consist of various subtypes within them. Impact of climate variability is mainly measured wit the help of the distribution of rainfall and prevailing temperature in the region. Consistent fluctuation in these tivo important elimate variables at different timescale leads to the changein LULC. ‘Changing LULC is the responseby nature and human beings due to the consistently varying climate in the region; SS ACT EAST Tums Fc’ Expo ith Soh Kare otherwise both the stakeholders will have to face the repercussions of the varying climate, ‘The impacts of climate variability ate leary visible in the various river basins ofthe world and a large population ofthe affected cites isa the receiving end of environmental impacts dueto varying climate conditions. As perthestuies done all over the world, it has been well establishes that hile the causes of changing LULC are many, the consistent varying climate contributes the most tothe changing LULC. ‘Taking this nto consideration, the study focuseson the Following points () Analyze the trend of land-use and landcover lasses in Han basin (3) Compare the connection of elimate variability and LULC lasses While comparing both the trendsin the changing LULC for the year 1985, 1959, 2008 and 2013, its found thatthe variancein the climate condition led to the change in LULC 2.
