Abstract

A geographical information systems(GIS) was a useful aid in the assessment of urban nonpoint source pollution and the development of a pollution control strategy. The GIS was used for data integration and display, and to provide data for a nonpoint source model. An empirical nonpoint source loading model driven by land use was used to estimate pollutant loadings of priority pollutant. Pollutant loadings were estimated at fine spatial resolution and aggregated to storm sewer drainage basins(sewershedsl. Eleven sewersheds were generated from digital versions of sewer maps. The pollutant loadings of individual land use polygons, derived as the unit of analysis from street blocks, were aggregated to get total pollutant loading within each sewershed. Based on the model output, a critical sewershed was located. Pollutant loadings at major sewer junctions within the critical sewershed were estimated to develop a mi t igat ion strategy. Two approaches based on the installat ion of wet ponds were investigated -- a regional approach using one large wet pond at the major sewer outfall and a multi-site approach using a number of smaller sites for each major sewer junction. Cost analysis showed that the regional approach would be more cost effective, though it would provide less pollution control.

지리 정보시스템(Geographical Information System)을 이용하여 도심지 Non Pount Source오염 물질의 양이 오염원 종류별로 확인되고 적절하한 오염감소를 위한 대책이 마련되었다. 경험에 의한 공해물질 예측모델을 운용하기 위한 모든 입력 자료들이 도심지의 거리 구획별(Street block)별로 제공되어 각 거리 구획별 오염량이 계산되었다. 계산된 오염량은 각 우수 배출구별로 합산되어 오염량이 많은 지역이 판명되었다. 또한 오염량을 줄이기 위하여 인공호수를 만들기 위한 적지분석이 수행되었으며, 그에 따른 비용분석이 이루어졌다. 본 연구는 지형정보시스템의 도심지 공해연구에의 기여도를 입증시켜 주었다.
