Fact and Figures and Characteristics of Dolmen in Gyeonggi Province

There are about 30,000 dolmens in Korea. Among them, approximately 600 dolmens remain in Gyeonggi Province. There exist mixed types of the dolmens including table-shaped type, checker board-shaped type, and the modified form of dolmen, which can help to comprehend various cultural aspects in dolmen society. They were mainly located along the western coast, basin and its branches of Han River, and nearby hilly districts. Some dolmens were found in the top of the hills such as relics in Deokeun-ri, Paju and Seonbu-dong, Ansan.<BR> The study has been conducted starting from excavating dolmens in Okseok-ri and Gyoha-ri in Paju city. In particular, it is noteworthy thing is that we found out the relation between dolmen and location of the houses, structure of special tomb room in a dolmen, connection of tomb rooms inside table-shaped and checker board-shaped dolmens. As for the burial method, it is suspected that stretching-out burial and dual-burial methods were widely used. As for the No.2 dolmen of Seonbu-dong in Ansan city, it has special characteristic to have a panel attached to a tomb room in the dolmen. Many damaged relics were found in broken state including pattern-less wares. From the fact, we suspected that a certain ritual was performed there. Taking another case, in the dolmen in Angdeok-ri, Yangpyong, red soil was found in the tomb room, which means another ritual service was performed. As for grave goods, only Korean-style bronze sword in early times was found in the dolmen in Sangjapo-ri, Yangpyong. Other dolmens had relatively poor relics in which ground stone tools and wares take the most part. Such characteristics suggest many implications for further researches and utilization of dolmens in Gyeonggi Province.<BR>

The purpose of the study is to find the problems related to the current state of the stand age classes and the method of calculating it defined in the existing forest type map and propose the more accurate method of calculating the stand age classes. The object for the study was selected as the forest scattered around the Geesan village Paju city in Kyunggi province. For the accurate method of calculating the stand age classes, such items as, the type of actual vegetation, establishment of grid-type standard area scaled down at the level of the 5% of the actual area, the types, number, DBH and age of tree found by the plots, were investigated. It was found out actual vegetation was divided into the total 24 types and the 20 types of them belonged to the growing tree areas. As the plots, the 125 places(unit area: ) were established the types of the trees found were distributed in the range where the minimum was 1 type, the maximum was 9, the mean was , and the mode was 4 types. The number of the trees found was distributed in the range where the minimum was 17, the maximum was 125, the mean was , and the mode was 70. In the DBH, the minimum was 6 cm, the maximum was 30 cm, the mean was 13 cm and the mode was 10 cm. As the result of measuring the age of the 5 trees corresponding to the value of the mode in DBH, selected among the dominant species by the plots, less than 20 years was 17 places, the 115 places were included in the range from 21 to 30 years, and more than 31 years was the 6 places.

A mark-release-recapture experiment with Anopheles sinensis in the northern part of Gyeonggi-do, Korea.

In order to study the range of flight and feeding activity of Anopheles sinensis, the dispersal experiment was conducted in Paju city, located in the northern part of Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea, during the period of 7th to 28th September 1998. Unfed females An. sinensis were collected in cowshed and released after being marked with fluorescent dye at 23:00 hours on the same day. Released female mosquitoes were recaptured everyday during 21 days using light traps, which were set at 10 sites in the cowsheds located 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 km north-northwest and north-northeast and at 3 sites located 1, 6 and 9 km toward south-west from the release point. In addition, to study the longest flight distance in one night, we set the light traps at 16 and 20 km toward north-northeast from the release site. All the collected mosquitoes were placed on filter papers and observed on UV transilluminator after treatment with one drop of 100% ethanol. Out of 12,773 females of An. sinensis released, 194 marked females mosquitoes were recaptured, giving 1.52% recapture rate. Of 194, 72 mosquitoes (37.1%) were recaptured in light traps from three places set at 1 km from the release point, 57 mosquitoes (29.4%) from two places at 1-3 km, 41 mosquitoes (21.1%) from three places at 3-6 km, 20 mosquitoes (10.3%) from three places at 6-9 km, and 4 mosquitoes (2.1%) from two places at 9-12 km. Since 170 female mosquitoes (87.6%) out of 194 marked mosquitoes were captured within 6 km from the release point, this flight radius represents the main activity area. An sinensis was found to be able to fly at least 12 km during one night.

Detection of vivax malaria sporozoites naturally infected in Anopheline mosquitoes from endemic areas of northern parts of Gyeonggi-do (Province) in Korea.

We investigated population densities of mosquitoes infected with sporozoites in three highly epidemic areas of Josan-ri and Jangpa-ri (Paju City) and Dongjung-ri (Yeoncheon County) in Korea. Anopheline mosquitoes were collected from both indoors and outdoors by human baiting collection method during the period of the first week of June to the second week of September 1999. Total 13,296 female mosquitoes were collected and 8,650 (65.1%) were Anophelines. Thirty seven percent (3,199) of the Anopheline mosquitoes were captured outdoors and 63.9% (5,531) indoors. Employing a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), we analyzed a total of 7,820 Anopheline mosquitoes and found that 7 Anopheline mosquitoes were infected with sporozoites. The positive rate in Josan-ri was 0.14% (5/3,500) and 0.15% (2/1,370) in Jangpa-ri. The total positive rate in all three surveyed areas was 0.09% (7/7,820). The mosquitoes infected with the sporozoites were detected on June 28th (n = 2), July 5th (n = 1), July 19th (n = 1), August 9th (n = 1), September 6th (n = 1), and the last one on September 13th (n = 1). They were all classified as Anopheles sinensis, which showed positive reaction in ELISA test. Therefore it might be concluded that Anopheles sinensis plays an important role in re-emerging malaria transmission in Korea.
