The tremendous flood damage caused by Typhoon Rusa(2002) was occurred at GangNeung City in GangWon Province. Almost of the city region was inundated and most of the stream channel facilities were damaged by flash flood with heavy rainfalls. We have investigated seriously damaged parts of stream bank and tried to analyze the causes of damages focused on flow characteristics in curved channel. We analyzed the damage aspects of curved channel by examining geomorphological survey and hydrographical characteristics. Strong correlation was shown according to the regression analysis between length of stream and meander wave length, and meander belt and length of stream. Furthermore, enveloped curve was presented between bottom slope of channel and meander belt, and meander ratio and channel width. As a result, special consideration about stream flow characteristics are needed for engineers who design stream banks and channels.

This paper examines the evolving role of ijang(village representative) and his job stress during Pyeongchang floods in 2006. Results based on telephone survey and interviews reveal that ijang played a crucial role in evacuating residents, allocating resources and commanding the recovery, although official job description considered him as only a mediator between local officers and villagers. Moreover, unexpected enormous burden created severe job stress to many ijangs; while 60 percent felt like quitting the job, about three fourth felt fretful whenever the telephone rang and lost some weights. Chi-square analysis also indicated that previous job training, villagers' abuse, and disaster damages were significantly related with job stress. These results suggest that the emergent human resources model rather than the command and control model can be an effective approach for a disaster management plan in rural Korea.

국가에서는 수해예방 및 주민들의 삶의 질 향상을 위해 다양한 하천사업을 수행한다. 국토교통부의 경우 매년 막대한 예산을 투입하여 하천정비 및 재해복구사업 등을 추진 중에 있으나, 체계적인 공사관리와 산출물의 전산화를 위한 시스템은 부재한 실정이다. 현재 건설사업정보시스템(건설CALS)을 통해 하천공사에 관한 정보를 확인할 수 있으나 총 공사비, 참여업체 등 기본적인 정보만을 제공하고 있으며, 공정관리 및 예산정보에 관한 상세한 내역을 확인 및 관리할 수 있는 기능은 부재하다. 이러한 문제를 해결하고자 본 연구에서는 하천사업(공사)관리시스템의 필요성을 제시함과 동시에 우선적으로 하천사업 공종 표준화를 수행하고자 한다. 현재 건설공사표준품셈을 통해 건설공사의 공종을 확인할 수 있으나 '제2장 하천공사' 내에는 사석, 돌망태, 하천호안공에 관한 정보만을 담고 있다. 하천공사 공종 표준화를 진행하게 될 경우 공종별 공사 세부정보에 대한 관리가 가능해지며, 현재 하천을 관리 중인 국토교통부, 지방국토관리청 및 지자체 등 하천사업을 수행 중인 기관의 시스템 활용도를 제고할 수 있다. 하천사업 공종표준화를 위해 우선적으로 현재 건설공사표준품셈, 도로대장 전산화 입력지침 등기 수립된 지침 및 기준을 통해 건설토목공사 시의 공종을 조사·분석한 후, 하천공사 준공보고서 및 감리보고서 등 공사 관련 자료를 활용하여 하천공사에 주로 수행되는 공사들에 관한 종류를 도출하였다. 이후 건설토목공사 공종과의 비교·분석을 통해 하천공사에서 주로 수행되는 공종을 도출·표준화하는 작업을 진행하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 하천사업 공종의 경우 향후 하천사업(공사)관리시스템 개발에 활용이 가능하며, 하천공사 관리의 효율성을 극대화할 수 있다.

Flood risk map, flood damage map, disaster information map, inundation trace map are involved with the cartographic analysis of flood inundation based on prevention, preparation, restoration, response from natural disasters such as flood, flooding, etc. In this study, the analysis for channel and basin characteristics Chungju dam to Paldang dam of South han river after four river project. Flood scenario is selected to take advantage of design flood level of schematic design for river. Flood inundation of one dimensional non-uniform flow by using HEC-RAS with basin characteristics is accomplished and two dimensional unsteady flow was interpreted by using FLUMEN. Frequency analysis is carried out about each abundance of South han river for 100 year period, 200 year period and 500 year period. Flooding disaster area of 100 year period on 0.5m damage functions is 2378.8ha, 200 year period on 0.5m damage functions is 3155.2ha, 500 year period on 0.5m damage functions is 3995.3ha respectively. It will be significant data for decision making to establish inundation trace map for providing basic plan for river maintenance, land use plan, flood protection plan, application plan and getting information of flood expectation area.

A chronic drought stress has been imposed during non-rainy season(from winter to spring) since 1990s. We faced the most significant water crisis in 2001, and the drought was characterized by sultry weather and severe drought on a national scale. It has been widely acknowledged that the drought related damage is 2-3 times serious than floods. In the list of the world's largest natural disaster compiled by NOAA, 4 of the top 5 disasters are droughts. And according to the analysis from the NDMC report, the drought has the highest annual average damage among all the disasters. There was a very serious impact on the economic such as rising consumer price during the 2001 spring drought in Korea. There has been flood prevention measures implemented at national-level but for mitigation of droughts, there are only plans aimed at emergency (short-term) restoration rather than the comprehensive preventive measures. In addition, there is a lack of a clear set of indicators to express drought situation objectively, and therefore it is important and urgent to begin a systematic study. In this study, a nonstationary downscaling model using RCM based climate change scenario was first applied to simulate precipitation, and the simulated precipitation data was used to derive Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI). The SPI under climate change was used to evaluate the spatio-temporal variability of drought through principal component analysis at three different time scales which are 2015, 2045 and 2075. It was found that spatio-temporal variability is likely to modulate with climate change.

On July 8, 1977, 432mm of precipitation which is the largest daily storm in Korea fell on the city of Anyang where a nearby suburban community of Seoul. Average storm intensities of 90mm per hour were recorded during the period from 1900~2200 hours on this date. Area of landslides triggered by this storm is about 96 hectares resulting from 1,876 places within about 12,600 hectares of the watershed studied. These hazards injured hundreds of human lives and took 122 human lives. Rail and highway systems were disrupted and about 30 hectares of rice paddies were washed away and hundreds of hectares were inundated. About 500 houses were destroyed. The objectives of this study are (a) to describe the problem areas, identifying critical factors causing the landslide hazards including earth and stone-debris avalanches, (b) suggest measures which might enhance the effectiveness of stabilization measures, and (c) also suggest the landslide and flood damage prevention methods from the point view of the upper-watershed conservation techniques in Anyang hollow-basin.
