Cities in Korea have rapidly urbanized and they are not well prepared for natural disasters which have been increased by climate change. In particular, they often struggle with urban flooding. Recently, green infrastructure has been emphasized as a critical strategy for flood mitigation in developed countries due to its capability to infiltrate water into the ground, provide the ability to absorb and store rainfall, and contribute to mitigating floods. However, in Korea, green infrastructure planning only focuses on esthetic functions or accessibility, and does not think how other functions such as flood mitigation, can be effectively realized. Based on this, we address this critical gap by suggesting the new green infrastructure planning framework for improving urban water cycle and maximizing flood mitigation capacity. This framework includes flood vulnerability assessment for identifying flood risk area and deciding suitable locations for green infrastructure. We propose the use of the combination of frequency ratio model and GIS for flood vulnerability assessment. The framework also includes the selection process of green infrastructure practices under local conditions such as geography, flood experience and finance. Finally, we applied this planning framework to the case study area, namely YeonJe-gu an Nam-gu in Busan. We expect this framework will be incorporated into green infrastructure spatial planning to provide effective decision making process regarding location and design of green infrastructure.

Green infrastructure(GI) is considered a key strategy in establishing sustainable communities. However, research on GI from the perspective of urban system dynamics and resilience lacks depth, as does its integration with physical design. This research addresses two primary causes. First, there is a gap in methods between existing GI planning, which considers static variables, and urban modeling research, which addresses dynamic variables. Second, there is a gap in information between landscape design and urban modeling research. To address these issues, this study proposes an integrated modeling approach in consideration of design decision-making. By combining the LEAM model and MCDA model, this study evaluates the relationship between GI services and socioeconomic growth, while spatially forecasting the geographies of GI demand in 2050. The resulting information reveals a potential degradation in ecosystem services over the region due to Chicago's sub-urbanization. This indicates that there would be a spatial shift in GI demand, emphasizing the need for comprehensive, dynamic GI strategies. This study further discusses the applications of evidence-based design in a studio environment. This study aims to contribute to the GeoDesign literature in terms of the creation of a more resilient urban environment by facilitating efficient evidence-based decision-making.

The border area between the South and North Korea is considered a stage for promoting Green Détent through the transformation of the Demilitarized Zone into the Green Peace Zone. This paper proposes 'Prosuming-index' composed of items to evaluate the multi-layered nature of industrial and infrastructure projects in the ecological and environmental fields planned in the border area. Based on the prosuming-index, we derived the following four types of potential for Green Detent practice in the border area-first, the Incheon and Ganghwa regions as 'a logistics/human network and agricultural/fishery production area', second, the northern Gyeonggi region as a 'cooperative network area based on the smart technology industries', third, the western Gangwon and the parts of nothern Gyeonggi region, as 'a multiple prosumer's area based on carbon neutral technologies', lastly, the eastern Gangwon region, as 'a transition area from idle or aged infrastructure to green infrastructure through the renewable energy industries'.

최근 전 세계는 급격한 기후변화와 도시화의 집중 등으로 인해 예상치 못한 수문학적인 문제, 특히 도시 내 홍수 피해 규모와 빈도가 매년 증가하고 있다. 기존의 도시 개발은 그레이 인프라(Gray Infrastructure)형을 중심으로 불투수 포장면의 증가를 가져왔다. 그 결과로 자연적 투수층이 감소하여 첨두유량 증가, 침투량 감소와 같은 도시물 순환의 문제점이 부각되기 시작했다. 이에 많은 국가들이 그린 인프라(Green Infrastructure)의 중요성과 필요성을 인지하고 그와 관련된 정책 마련에 나서고 있다. 그린 인프라는 모든 개발사업의 계획 이전에 고려되느냐 기타 기반 시설의 계획 후 입지를 결정하느냐에 따라 입지 선정 기준을 크게 두 가지로 구축할 수 있는데, 본 연구는 도시 내 물 순환을 관리하여 유출수를 지표로 침투시켜 도시의 회복력을 평가하는 것이기 때문에 후자에 해당된다. 자연과 분리되거나 별도로 적용하지 않으면서 기후변화에 대응할 수 있는 지속가능한 도시를 만들 수 있으며 소규모로도 물 순환을 가능하게 해 도시의 큰 구조적 변화 없이 적용 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 서울 신월지구에 선행 된 시험 관측 결과를 토대로 도시 내 그린 인프라의 설치에 따른 도시 회복력에 대한 정의를 내려보았다.

Green infrastructure planning represents landscape planning measures to reduce particulate matter. This study aimed to derive factors that may be used in planning green infrastructure for particulate matter reduction using text mining techniques. A range of analyses were carried out by focusing on keywords such as 'particulate matter reduction plan' and 'green infrastructure planning elements'. The analyses included Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) analysis, centrality analysis, related word analysis, and topic modeling analysis. These analyses were carried out via text mining by collecting information on previous related research, policy reports, and laws. Initially, TF-IDF analysis results were used to classify major keywords relating to particulate matter and green infrastructure into three groups: (1) environmental issues (e.g., particulate matter, environment, carbon, and atmosphere), target spaces (e.g., urban, park, and local green space), and application methods (e.g., analysis, planning, evaluation, development, ecological aspect, policy management, technology, and resilience). Second, the centrality analysis results were found to be similar to those of TF-IDF; it was confirmed that the central connectors to the major keywords were 'Green New Deal' and 'Vacant land'. The results from the analysis of related words verified that planning green infrastructure for particulate matter reduction required planning forests and ventilation corridors. Additionally, moisture must be considered for microclimate control. It was also confirmed that utilizing vacant space, establishing mixed forests, introducing particulate matter reduction technology, and understanding the system may be important for the effective planning of green infrastructure. Topic analysis was used to classify the planning elements of green infrastructure based on ecological, technological, and social functions. The planning elements of ecological function were classified into morphological (e.g., urban forest, green space, wall greening) and functional aspects (e.g., climate control, carbon storage and absorption, provision of habitats, and biodiversity for wildlife). The planning elements of technical function were classified into various themes, including the disaster prevention functions of green infrastructure, buffer effects, stormwater management, water purification, and energy reduction. The planning elements of the social function were classified into themes such as community function, improving the health of users, and scenery improvement. These results suggest that green infrastructure planning for particulate matter reduction requires approaches related to key concepts, such as resilience and sustainability. In particular, there is a need to apply green infrastructure planning elements in order to reduce exposure to particulate matter.

최근 기후변화로 발생되는 폭우, 강풍 등의 기상현상으로 인해 하천범람, 내수침수, 해수범람 등 특히 해안도시지역에서의 물 문제는 날로 심화되고 있다. 이에 정부에서는 저영향개발(Low Impact Development, LID) 사업 및 친환경그린인프라(Green Infrastructure, GI) 기술요소의 적용확대를 추진하고 있다. 이에 환경부에서는 환경기술개발사업의 일환으로 '그린인프라 제도/정책 및 재원관리의 선진화(2021)' 연구용역을 통해 관련 추진체계 구축, 제도 개선방안 등을 모색하였다. 해당 연구에서는 기존의 LID 및 GI 관련 정책·제도 개선, 강우유출수 관리목표 설정방안, 투수/불투수도 제작 지침 마련, 시민인식조사 등을 통해 그린인프라 확대를 위한 과학적 근거 및 통합관리제도를 마련하였다. 이와 더불어 2013년부터 도시지역의 우수유출 저감, 물순환 구조 개선, 비점오염원 관리를 위해 '그린빗물인프라(Green Stormwater Infrastructure, GSI) 조성 사업'을 추진하여 국비지원을 지속하고 있다. 'GSI 조성사업'은 2014년 공공청사 중심에서 학교, 도서관, 체육시설, 공원 등 적용 범위를 확대 하고 있는 추세이나, 수도권지역과 물순환선도도시 조성사업이 진행중인 5개 지역(김해시, 광주시, 안동시, 울산시, 대전시)을 제외한 각 지자체에서는 실효성 있는 추진체계 및 가이드라인 부존 등의 문제로 적용에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이에 경상남도는 지역적 특성을 반영한 GSI 조성 추진체계 마련을 목표로 본 연구용역을 추진하였으며, GSI 관련 국내외 현황조사, GSI 조성을 위한 공공청사의 우선순위 선정, 지형적(토지피복, 토양형 등), 기상학적 현황을 토대로 한 우선순위 선정, 이를 통합한 경남형 GSI 조성 추진체계를 제시하고자 한다.

최근 기후변화에 따른 집중호우, 태풍의 규모 및 빈도가 증가하고 있다. 도시지역은 전통적인 배수체계가 한계에 도달함에 따라 기후변화에 대한 취약성이 다른 지역에 비하여 더욱 크게 나타나 기후변화에 효과적으로 적응하기 위한 방안으로 도심녹지, 빗물정원, 투수포장 등 그린인프라 확충의 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 도시하천 유역 내 그린인프라 확충에 따른 강우유출특성의 변화를 살펴보고자 하였다. 그린인프라의 확충은 불투수층을 투수층으로 변화시켜 물순환 건전화에 기여한다. 본 연구에서는 부산의 대표적인 도시하천 유역인 온천천유역을 대상으로 강우유출모형인 HSPF를 적용하여 유역 내 투수층 증가에 따른 유출특성의 변화를 살펴보았다. 온천천 유역을 세 개의 소유역(온천천 상류, 세병교, 온천천 하류)으로 구분하고 현재 상황(불투수면적비 각각 90.98, 92.96, 94.25%)에서 불투수면적을 10%씩 감소시켜가며 유역 내 지표유출량, 침투량의 변화를 살펴보았으며, 온천천 유량(갈수량, 저수량, 평수량, 풍수량, 홍수량)의 변화를 분석하였다. 분석 결과 유역 내 불투수면적 감소에 따라 강수의 침투가 증가하고 이에 따른 지표유출이 감소함을 확인할 수 있었다. 유역 내 불투수층이 감소함에 따라 지표유출량은 최대 32%까지 감소하고 침투량은 최대 71%까지 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 온천천의 갈수량, 저수량, 평수량, 풍수량은 증가하는 반면, 홍수 시의 유량을 의미하는 홍수량은 최대 15% 이상 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이는 유역 내 불투수층의 감소를 통해 평상시에는 추가적인 하천유량 확보가 가능하며, 홍수 시에는 반대로 홍수량을 저감시킴으로써 이에 따른 피해를 줄일 수 있음을 의미한다. 본 연구를 통해 그린인프라가 하천유량 확보 및 홍수량 저감을 통해 유역의 물순환 건전화에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 효과적인 기후변화 적응을 위해 도시하천 유역의 그린인프라 확충을 위한 노력을 기울일 필요가 있다.

Green Infrastructure(GI) is suggested to recover urban water circulation system as a newly conceptual alternative methodology by Korean landscape field in recent years. In this context, the study considers the essential meaning of GI. The methodology of this study is literature review with 47 published papers which were peer-reviewed in international journals in the recent 5 years. These papers were collected from online database and academic archives. The main analysis targets are definition sentences about GI. The each sentences were interpreted by semantic structure between verbs and objects in the definition sentences. As the results, it figured out 5 aims('Provide', 'Improve', 'Produce', 'Conserve', 'Reduce'), 4 objects('Humanistic', 'Environmental', 'Ecological', 'Hydrological') and 3 spaces('Object space', 'Technically available spaces', 'Object or technically available spaces'). The '5 aims' connected with the elements of '4 objects' based on the '3 spaces'. The elements was connected to the '5 aims' via single form or 2~3 forms of the essential meaning networks of GI. The study provides 83 meaning networks to use landscape architecture planning and urban planning.

Diverse types of meteorological disasters that are frequently occurring at the present time, such as urban flooding, draught, heat waves, or tropical nights do not only cause casualties and property damages but also make it difficult to preserve the natural environment of the city. That is why Low Impact Development or Green Infrastructure has recently received lots of attention as a means to minimize meteorological disasters, adapt to climate change and to leave a better urban environment for the next generation. As of now, Korea's low impact development and green infrastructure technology are standing at the stage of incubation or demonstration. Both central and provincial governments have accelerated the updating of laws and regulations, which allows us to turn the Gray City with Gray Infrastructure that only uses water into a Green City with Green Infrastructure that manages the water. To spread and distribute such a notion in a systemic way, it requires new technology development tailored to Korea, verification of technology, and maintenance of related technological standards, cooperation with other industries, training & promotion, and the participation of citizens.
