Recently, forest fires have become frequent due to climate change, and the size of forest fires is also increasing. Forest fires in Korea continue to cause more than 100 ha of forest fire damage every year. It was found that 90% of the large-scale wildfires that occurred in Gangwon-do over the past five years were concentrated in the east coast area. The east coast area has a climate vulnerable to forest fires such as dry air and intermediate wind, and forest conditions of coniferous forests. In this regard, studies related to various forest fire analysis, such as predicting the risk of forest fires and calculating the risk of forest fires, are being promoted. There are many studies related to risk analysis for forest areas in consideration of weather and forest-related factors, but studies that have conducted risk analysis for forest-friendly areas are still insufficient. Management of forest adjacent areas is important for the protection of human life and property. Forest-adjacent houses and facilities are greatly threatened by forest fires. Therefore, in this study, a grid-based forest fire-related disaster risk map was created using factors affected by forest-neighboring areas using national branch numbers, and differences in risk ratings were compared for forest areas and areas adjacent to forests based on Gangneung forest fire cases.

Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Agency(KHOA) carried out a research project named 'Marine Fisheries Infrastructure Construction and Technology Training for the Philippines' as part of the 1st Official Development Assistance(ODA) from 2015 to 2018. It is preparing for the 2nd ODA project which will begin in 2020. Besides, recently, the Philippines is paying attention to marine territory management and response capability due to problems such as the sea-level rise and coastal erosion caused by climate change. Therefore, before 2nd ODA to the Philippines, this study analyzed the vertical ocean model on the vertical datum in Korea and suggests the direction of development of the vertical ocean modeling system for the vertical datum in the Philippines using the observed data from the permanent tide station which was built by the Philippines ODA research project over the last four years. Moreover, as a pilot study, the Sulu Sea in the Philippines was selected and analyzed by harmonic analysis method. At each tide station, constants for correction had been computed. And the grid-based tidal model was constructed based on this study. As a result of the study, similar tidal characteristic were observed when the prediction and the measured tide were compared by applying the constants for correction between two station in the sea area with similar tidal level. These results could be used as basic data for the 2nd ODA to the Philippines, and contributed to construct and maintain a close cooperation and friendship between Korea and the Philippines.

The height datum of Korea is currently separated into land and sea, which makes it difficult to acquire homogeneous and accurate height information throughout the whole nation. In this study, we therefore tried to suggest the more effective way to transform the height information were constructed separately according to each height datum on land and sea to those on the unique height datum using precise geoid models and tidal observations in Korea. For this, Anmyeon island was selected as a study area to develop the precise geoid models based on the height datums land (IMSL) and sea (LMSL), respectively. In order to develop two hybrid geoid models based on each height datum of land an sea, we firstly develop a precise gravimetric geoid model using the remove and restore (R-R) technique with all available gravity observations. The gravimetric geoid model were then fitted to the geometric geoidal heights, each of which is represented as height datum of land or sea respectively, obtained from GPS/Leveling results on 15 TBMs in the study area. Finally, we determined the differences between the two hybrid geoid models to apply the height transformation between IMSL and LMSL. The co-tidal chart model of TideBed system developed by Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Agency (KHOA) which was re-gridded to have the same grid size and coverage as the geoid model, in order that this can be used for the height datum transformation from LMSL to local AHHW and/or from LMSL to local DL. The accuracy of height datum transformation based on the strategy suggested in this study was approximately ${\pm}3cm$. It is expected that the results of this study can help minimize not only the confusions on the use of geo-spatial information due to the disagreement caused by different height datum, land and sea, in Korea, but also the economic and time losses in the execution of coastal development and disaster prevention projects in the future.

국립기상과학원은 국가 물관리를 효율적으로 지원하기 위하여 TOPLATS(TOPmodel based Land-Atmosphere Transfer Scheme) 지면모델 기반을 활용한 전국 수문기상 분석 및 예측정보 생산체계를 구축하였다. TOPLATS 지면모델에서는 토양, 식생 등을 표현하기 위한 다양한 매개변수들이 사용되고 있으며, 그 중에서도 토양 속성과 관련 매개변수들은 토양수분, 증발산 등의 수문기상요소 생산에 큰 영향을 미치고 있어 현실적인 토양 특성에 대한 고려가 요구된다. 본 연구는 국립농업과학원의 토양도 정보를 이용하여 TOPLATS 지면모델에서 요구되는 토양 속성 및 관련 매개변수를 산정하고 이를 모델에 적용하고자 하였다. TOPLATS 모델에 사용되는 토양 매개변수는 총 22개 이며, 본 연구에서는 국립농업과학원에서 제공한 총 405개의 토양통에 대한 매개변수를 각각 산정하였다. TOPLATS 모델을 강제하기 위한 기상자료는 동네예보 분석자료, KLAPS(Korea Local Analysis and Prediction System) 분석자료, 입사 단 장파 복사량은 ASOS 관측자료를 기반으로 한 5km 해상도의 남한 격자자료이며, 2010~2013년 기간의 토양수분, 증발산량에 대한 검증 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 기존의 11개 토양속성정보로 산출된 결과와 비교 분석하여 추후 제시할 예정이며, 본 연구에서 산출된 국내 토양 특성을 반영한 고해상도 수문기상정보는 향후 홍수 예측 및 가뭄 평가에 활용 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
