The most of natural disasters that occur in North Korea are flood, typhoon and damage from heavy rain. The damage caused by those disasters since the mid-1990s is aggravating North Korea's economic difficulties every year. By recognizing the seriousness of the damages from the floods, the North Korean government has carried out the river maintenance, farmland restoration, land readjustment and afforestation projects since the last-1990s, but it has failed preventing the damages. In order to estimate the degree of flood risk regarding damage from chronic floods that occur inveterately in North Korea, this research conducted an additional simulation for rainfall-runoff analysis to reflect the characteristics of the ungauged area that make foreign countries hard to obtain the hydrological data and do not open the topographical data to public. In addition, this research estimates the degree of flood risk by selecting the factors of the hazard, exposure and vulnerability by following the standards of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

최근 우리나라에서는 국지성호우로 인해 발생하는 돌발홍수에 방어하지 못하는 소규모 저수지에 대한 붕괴사고가 빈발하고 있다. 붕괴된 저수지를 살펴보면, 대체적으로 규모가 작아 체계적인 안전관리가 이루어지지 않거나 경과연수가 50년 이상인 필댐(fill dam) 형식으로 축조된 노후저수지로서 갑작스러운 홍수를 대응하는데 있어 매우 취약한 상태이다. 체계적으로 운영되는 대형댐에 비해 축조기간이 오래된 소규모 저수지의 경우, 저수지에 대한 수문학적 정보가 거의 없거나 미계측되어 보수보강이 필요한 저수지를 선정하거나 정량적인 위험도를 분석하는데 매우 어려운 실정이다. 이러한 이유로 본 연구에서는 노후된 소규모 저수지에 대한 수문학적 파괴인자들을 선정하여 Bayesian Network기반의 소규모 저수지 위험도 분석 모형을 구축하였다. 구축된 모형을 기준으로 고려될 수 있는 다양한 위험인자 및 이들 인자간의 연관성을 평가하였으며, 각각의 노드에 파괴인자를 노드로 할당하여 소규모 저수지의 위험도를 분석하였다. Bayesian Network기법의 도입으로 불확실한 상황을 확률로 표시하고, 복잡한 추론을 정량화된 노드의 관계로 단순화시켜 노드의 연결 관계로 표현하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 모형은 노후된 소규모 저수지의 수문학적 위험도를 정량으로 분석하는 모형으로서 활용성이 높을 것으로 기대된다.

In this paper, we develop 'the Danger Map' of a workplace to identify risk and harmful factors by analyzing images of each process within the manufacturing plant site using artificial intelligence (AI). We proposed a system that automatically derives 'the risk and safety levels' based on the frequency and intensity derived from this Danger Map in accordance with actual field conditions and applies them to similar manufacturing industries. In particular, in the traditional evaluation method of manually evaluating the risk of a workplace using Excel, the risk level for each risk and harmful factor acquired from the video is automatically calculated and evaluated to ensure safety through the system and calculate the safety level, so that the company can take appropriate actions accordingly. and measures were prepared. To automate safety calculation and evaluation, 'Heinrich's law' was used as a model, and a 5X4 point evaluation scale was calculated for risky behavior patterns. To demonstrate this system, we applied it to a casting factory and were able to save 2 people the time and labor required to calculate safety each month.

Although drought is a natural phenomenon, its damage occurs in combination with regional physical and social factors. Especially, related to the supply and demand of various waters, drought causes great socio-economic damage. Even meteorological droughts occur with similar severity, its impact varies depending on the regional characteristics and water supply system. Therefore, this study assessed regional drought risk considering regional socio-economic factors and water supply system. Drought hazard was assessed by grading the joint drought management index (JDMI) which represents water shortage. Drought vulnerability was assessed by weighted averaging 10 socio-economic factors using Entropy, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM). Drought response capacity that represents regional water supply factors was assessed by employing Bayesian networks. Drought risk was determined by multiplying a cubic root of the hazard, vulnerability, and response capacity. For the drought hazard meaning the possibility of failure to supply water, Goesan-gun was the highest at 0.81. For the drought vulnerability, Daejeon was most vulnerable at 0.61. Considering the regional water supply system, Sejong had the lowest drought response capacity. Finally, the drought risk was the highest in Cheongju-si. This study identified the regional drought risk and vulnerable causes of drought, which is useful in preparing drought mitigation policy considering the regional characteristics in the future.

In this study, the evaluation to probability of failure for risk assessment of port structures on DCM reinforced soils, where stability and risk assessment are increasing in importance, was performed. As a random variables affecting the risk of DCM improved ground, the design strength, superposition (overlap) of construction, strength of the natural ground, internal friction angle and unit weight of the modified ground were selected and applied to the risk assessment. In addition, the failure probability for the entire system under ordinary conditions and under earthquake conditions were analyzed. As a result, it was found that the highest coefficient of variation in the random variable for the risk assessment of the DCM improved ground is the design strength, but this does not have a great influence on the safety factor, ie, the risk of the system. The main risk factor for the failure probability of the system for the DCM reinforced soils was evaluated as horizontal sliding in case of external stability and compression failure in case of internal stability both at ordinary condition and earthquake condition. In addition, the failure probability for ordinary horizontal sliding is higher than that for earthquake failure, and the failure probability for ordinary compression failure is lower than that for earthquake failure. The ordinary failure probability of the entire system is similar to the failure probability on earthquake condition, but in this case, the risk of earthquake is somewhat higher.

Recently, the frequency and intensity of meteorological disasters have increased due to climate change. In South Korea, there are regional differences in vulnerability and response capability to cope with climate change because of regional climate characteristics. In particular, drought results from various factors and is linked to extensive meteorological, hydrological, and agricultural impacts. Therefore, in order to effectively cope with drought, it is necessary to use a composite drought index that can take into account various factors, and to evaluate future droughts comprehensively considering climate change. This study evaluated hydrologic risk(${\bar{R}}$) of future drought in the Nakdong River basin based on the Dynamic Naive Bayesian Classification (DNBC)-based composite drought index, which was calculated by applying Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), Streamflow Drought Index (SDI), Evaporate Stress Index (ESI) and Water Supply Capacity Index (WSCI) to the DNBC. The indices used in the DNBC were calculated using observation data and climate scenario data. A bivariate frequency analysis was performed for the severity and duration of the composite drought. Then using the estimated bivariate return periods, hydrologic risks of drought were calculated for observation and future periods. The overall results indicated that there were the highest risks during the future period (2021-2040) (${\bar{R}}$=0.572), and Miryang River (#2021) had the highest risk (${\bar{R}}$=0.940) on average. The hydrologic risk of the Nakdong River basin will increase highly in the near future (2021-2040). During the far future (2041-2099), the hydrologic risk decreased in the northern basins, and increased in the southern basins.

Damage of landslide due to earthquake covers a considerable part of total damage due to earthquake. Landslide due to earthquake affects direct damage of human lives and structures, and social system can be paralyzed by losing functions of roads, basic industries, and so on. Therefore, systematic and specialized research examining the factors affecting the slope stability by earthquakes should be needed. However, method of evaluation of slope stability problems due to earthquake contains somewhat uncertainty since many soil properties are predicted or assumed. In this study, influences of change of soil properties such as degree of saturation and cohesion value are analyzed in factor of safety and displacement using seismic landslide hazard maps based on GIS. As the degree of saturation increases or cohesion decreases, it is found that seismic landslide hazard area marked with factors of safety or displacements tends to increase. Therefore, to draw more exact landslide hazard map during earthquake, it is necessary to obtain accurate soil property information preferentially from site investigation data in the field.

해양사고는 발생 직후의 적절한 초기대응 여부에 따라 사고 이후 다양한 사건 전개 양상을 보이게 되며, 이러한, 해양사고 발생 시 초기 대응을 효과적으로 수행하기 위해서는 발생한 해양사고의 속성을 명확하게 파악하는 작업이 선행되어야 한다. 또한, 얼마나 빨리 사고 상황에 대한 정확한 정보를 수집하고, 사고 대응을 위하여 필요한 장비 / 물자를 조달할 수 있느냐에 따라 신속한 사고 대응이 될 수도, 그렇지 못할 수도 있다. 이렇듯, 효과적이고 신속한 초기 대응을 위해서는 선박 종류 및 사고 종류 별 다양한 조건의 선박 사고에 대한 정보를 갖춘 사고 대응 시스템이 마련되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는, 해양사고 발생 이후 전개되는 시나리오들에 대한 위험도를 비교 평가할 수 있는 방법론을 개발하기 위한 일환으로, 해양사고 대응 사례 조사를 통하여 해양사고 대응 시 필요한 정보들을 식별하고, 사고 대응 시 사용되거나 고려되었던 대응 방법들을 식별하여 정리하였다. 또한, 식별된 정보들을 바탕으로, 유조선, 컨테이너선 및 여객선에 대한 해양사고 발생 후 사건전개 시나리오들을 식별 및 분석하였다.

재난발생 위험은 불확실성을 내포하고 있으며, 이러한 불확실성 요인을 줄이고 사전에 소멸시키는 일은 매우 중요한 사항이 될 수 있다. 또한 재난관리 관점에서 그것이 발생했을 때 어떤 식으로 대응할지에 대한 과정이 체계적으로 갖추어져 있어야 하며, 복구 및 재발 방지를 위한 지속적인 노력이 수반될 필요성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 기후정보를 활용한 중장기 수문예측을 실시하고 통합홍수위험평가 시스템 구축을 통한 홍수위험도 분석을 실시하였다. 이를 위하여 우리나라 243개 지자체를 대상으로 홍수관련 위해성, 노출성, 취약성 자료를 수집하여 표준화하였으며, 전문가 Delphi-AHP 설문조사 분석을 통하여 가중치를 적용하고 위험도를 예측 평가하였다. 이러한 중장기 위험 예측 정보는 한 달 또는 수개월 전에 지자체 행정력을 집중 및 분산시키고, 수재해(홍수/가뭄 등) 위험관리 계획 수립이 가능하여 재난관리자에게 유용한 정보로 활용될 수 있을 것이다. 또한 재난의 생애주기(Life Cycle)별 예방, 대비, 대응, 복구 단계에 따라 사전과 사후에 가능한 주요 활동들을 구체화 할 수 있으며, 시간 스케일별 기후예측 정보를 활용한 재난관리 패러다임 전환과 골든타임 확보 등 수자원예측 분야 기술적 진보를 이룰 수 있을 것으로 기대한다. 향후 통계 역학 모형 기반 중 장기 예측 정보의 신뢰도가 향상 된다면 보다 다양한 분야 예측 정보 서비스 및 활용이 가능할 것이다.
