주민참여형 탁도 모니터링을 활용한 비점오염원 관리 방안 연구

초록

This study evaluated the effectiveness of non-point source pollution management projects and the changes in residents’ awareness and capabilitiesthrough community-led turbidity monitoring activities. By voluntarily measuring turbidity and monitoring environmental changes, residents were able tocomplement data collection during periods that are difficult for experts to access. The process significantly improved residents’ awareness of waterquality improvement and their understanding and practical capabilities regarding non-point source pollution reduction activities. The findings identifiedkey challenges, including the difficulty of changing traditional agricultural practices and a lack of understanding of non-point source pollution reductionmeasures, highlighting the need for ongoing education and expanded participation programs. Residents showed a strong preference for non-structuralBest Management Practices (BMPs), emphasizing the need for support to promote these methods. Despite limitations such as the difficulty of datacollection due to regional climate and topographical characteristics and the constraints of short-term research, this study suggests that community-drivennon-point source pollution management can contribute to environmental improvement and enhance residents’ awareness. It is essential to expand thismodel to more regions, enabling residents to participate voluntarily in environmental protection and establish sustainable management systems.
