In slope stability analysis for landslides, mountains have various slopes and geographical features, and hence it is necessary to estimate stability using rigorous analysis methods. In this study, after the analysis of infiltration behavior through unsaturated layers due to rainfall, the stability of landslide was estimated to account for the variation of pore water pressures. In the analysis of slope stability, a three-dimensional slope analysis was compared with an infinite slope analysis in a case study of terrain in which an actual landslide occurred. In the three-dimensional slope stability analysis, it was found that the location of the failure and the failure area were predicted accurately based on the detailed geological information despite the variation of geographical features.

In recent years, university education has emphasized a learner-centered education model with a change in educational paradigm. This study aims to explore students' diverse opinions and improve the quality of education by analyzing the open-ended responses of university lecture evaluations using topic modeling. To this end, a total of 45,001 open-ended responses based on the results of lecture evaluations from 2017 to 2022 in non-metropolitan universities were divided into majors and liberal arts, and a short-form optimized Biterm Topic Modeling (BTM) analysis was conducted. As a result of the analysis, major lectures were divided into "attitude toward non-face-to-face classroom experience", "attitude toward questions and discussions", "attitude toward attendance and grading", "attitude toward practical activities and presentations", and "attitude toward communication and collaboration", while liberal arts lectures were divided into "attitude toward non-face-to-face classroom experience", "attitude toward grades and evaluations", "attitude toward attendance and syllabus", "attitude toward academic knowledge and interest", and "attitude toward communication and questions". The results of this study, which analyzed various feedback from students, provide insights that can be used to compare the characteristics of majors and liberal arts courses and improve teaching and learning experiences.

The purpose of this study is to investigate what image and perception of the engineering scientifically gifted students have. For this, we conducted a survey of 182 students who are freshman or sophomore in science high schools. First, we analyzed the image of the engineering and science based on the survey. Second, we investigated the perception of the engineering and the need for engineering education. Third, we analyzed the attitude toward the engineering. The result of this study is as follow. We found that they perceived engineering positively as much as that they gave an affirmative answers to the most of questions about engineering and field of engineering. Even though engineering careers and fields of career are very important particularly for gifted students, they have not only lack of recognition and negative image of engineering but also a misconception. It seems to be due to the lack of opportunities for engineering education. In addition, gifted students have meaningful differences according to gender, grade level, future career group. In conclusion, compared to the importance of engineering for them, the image and perception and attitude of the engineering gifted students have were examined to be very lacking.

The purpose of this study is to compare men and women's different perceptions on Women engineers' career barriers. In order to achieve the purpose, we initially analyzed various references on perception of career barrier, and organized survey questions. We used the context from Sung sik Lee's doctoral dissertation(2007) and modified it for making survey questions. We conducted a survey with 691 senior students of engineering department around the capital. As a result of the study, male students seemed to be more positive about women's career barriers (social/interpersonal, attitudinal, and interactional barriers). It represents that male students evaluate highly on women's ability and also feel less sensitive about social discrimination toward women's position. In consequence of group interview, it is also revealed that women engineers understand well about difficulties of being female at any workplace.

SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) remote sensing data is a very useful tool for near-real-time identification of landslide affected areas that can occur over a large area due to heavy rains or typhoons. This study aims to develop an effective algorithm for automatically delineating landslide areas from the polarimetric SAR data acquired after the landslide event. To detect landslides from SAR observations, reduction of the speckle effects in the estimation of polarimetric SAR parameters and the orthorectification of geometric distortions on sloping terrain are essential processing steps. Based on the experimental analysis, it was found that the IDAN filter can provide a better estimation of the polarimetric parameters. In addition, it was appropriate to apply orthorectification process after estimating polarimetric parameters in the slant range domain. Furthermore, it was found that the polarimetric entropy is the most appropriate parameters among various polarimetric parameters. Based on those analyses, we proposed an automatic landslide detection algorithm using the histogram thresholding of the polarimetric parameters with the aid of terrain slope information. The landslide detection algorithm was applied to the ALOS-2 PALSAR-2 data which observed landslide areas in Japan triggered by Typhoon in September 2011. Experimental results showed that the landslide areas were successfully identified by using the proposed algorithm with a detection rate of about 82% and a false alarm rate of about 3%.

안동호는 상류지역의 휴·폐광산과 비점오염원으로부터 발생하는 각종 오염물질이 유입되고 있어, 호소 부영양화에 대한 문제가 계속 제기되고 있다. 이러한 안동호의 수환경은 댐 하류 유역과 같은 수계의 임하호의 수환경에도 영향을 미치기 때문에, 안동호 수질 및 수생태 건강성 평가가 계속 수행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 SWAT-WET(Soil ad Water Assessment Tool-Water Ecosystems Tool)을 이용하여, 안동호의 수질 및 수생태 건강성을 평가하고자 한다. 이를 위해 안동댐 유역(1,584 km²)을 대상으로 SWAT 모형을 구축하였으며(2010~2019년), 댐의 운영을 고려하여 도산 관측소(안동댐 유입지점)와 안동1 관측소(안동댐 하류지점)의 실측 유량 및 수질(SS, T-N, T-P)에 대한 검보정을 수행하였다. SWAT 검보정 결과, 유유출량의 R², NSE(Nash sutcliffe efficiency)는 각각 0.76, 0.74 이상, SS, T-N, T-P의 R²는 각각 0.71, 0.81, 0.62 이상으로 분석되어 적용성을 확인하였다. 그리고 검보정한 SWAT의 유출량 및 수질 결과를 1차원 수생태계 모델인 WET에서 안동호의 유입자료로 적용하여, 안동호의 수심에 따른 수온, 수질, 저서동물 등의 수환경 결과를 모의할 예정이다. SWAT-WET 모의 결과는 수온, 수질, 저서동물 관측값과 비교하여 SWAT-WET 모델의 적용성을 평가하고, 안동댐의 상류 유출 특성 변화에 따른 안동호의 수질 및 수생태 건강성을 평가할 예정이다.

유역의 형상은 강우, 산사태 등과 같은 지배적인 침식작용과 더불어 지형 지질학적 요인들에 의해 결정되어 진다. 그러므로 유역형상에 대한 공간특성 분석을 위해서는 지형학적 요인과 다양한 침식작용에 대한 분석이 필요하다. 국내 외 많은 연구결과에 의하면 지형학적 인자에 의한 침식 형태는 국부경사와 집수면적의 크기에 의해 다양한 구간으로 나뉘며, 그 특성에 따라 지표침식, 세굴, 산사태 등으로 구분되는 것으로 연구된 바 있다. 일례로 유역 내 세굴과 관련된 지배인자는 집수면적보다는 국부경사에 반대로 지표침식, 산사태는 국부경사보다는 집수면적의 크기에 따라 영향을 받는다. 따라서 지형학적 인자(국부경사, 집수면적)의 임계치(threshold) 산출을 통해 침식특성(불안정지역)을 검토할 수 있으며, 이에 대한 물리적 검증은 여러 연구를 통해 물질플럭스(유량, 에너지)에 대한 Power Law로써 검증된바 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 지형학적 침식특성 분석을 위하여 2006년 집중호우에 의해 광역적 산사태가 발생한 강원도 평창군 진부면 일대의 $10m{\times}10m$ DEM로부터 국부경사, 집수면적을 산출하고 경사-면적한계곡선(Slope-Area Threshold Curve, SATC), 배수면적 확률분포곡선(Probability distribution of Drain Areas Curve, PDAC), 에너지지수 확률분포곡선(Probability distribution of Energy Index Curve, PEIC)를 실제 산사태지점과 중첩하여 도시하였다. 그 결과, 특정 임계구간(Threshold Area, Unstable area, 2~3권역)내에서 산사태 발생지점이 분포하는 것으로 분석되었다. 이를 통해 지형학적 인자만을 고려하여 미계측 유역에 대한 잠재적 불안정지역의 판별이 가능할 것으로 판단되며, 추후 광역적 사면안정해석에 적용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Forest fires are representative natural disasters resulting from dramatic global climate change in these modern times. When forest formation is insufficient due to forest damage caused by fire, secondary damages such as landslides occur during the winter thawing period and heavy rains. In most countries, only a limited area is managed as CCTV-centered monitoring systems for forest management. For the landslide prediction, markers containing 3D spatial coordinates were located on the slopes of the danger areas in advance. Then 3D mapping and angle of repose were obtained by periodic drone imaging. The recognition range and angle of view of markers were defined, and a new method for predicting signs of landslides in advance was presented in this study.
