Recent earthquakes in Gyeongju and Pohang have raised interest in liquefaction in South Korea. Liquefaction, which is a phenomenon that excessive pore pressure is generated and the shear strength of soil is decreased by repeated loads such as earthquakes, causes severe problems such as ground subsidence and overturning of structures. Therefore, it is necessary to identify and prepare for the possibility of liquefaction in advance. In general, the possibility of liquefaction is quantitatively assessed using the Liquefaction Potential Index (LPI), but it takes a lot of time and effort for performing site response analysis which is essential for the liquefaction evaluation. In this study, a simple method to evaluate the liquefaction potential without executing the site response analysis in a downtown area with a lot of borehole data was proposed. In this simple method, the correlation between the average shear wave velocity of the target location ground and the LPI divided by thickness of liquefiable layer was established. And the applicable correlation equation for various rock outcrop accelerations were derived. Using the 104 boreholes information in Seoul, the correlation equation between LPI and the shear wave velocity (ground water level: 0m, 1m, 2m, 3m) is obtained and the possibility of liquefaction occurrence in Seoul and Gyeongju is evaluated. The applicability of the proposed simple method was verified by comparing the LPI values calculated from the correlation equation and the LPI values derived using the existing site response analysis. Finally, the distribution map of LPI calculated from the correlation was drawn using Kriging, a geostatistical technique.

A privacy model is a technique that quantitatively restricts the possibility and degree of privacy breaches through privacy attacks. Representative models include k-anonymity, l-diversity, t-closeness, and differential privacy. While many privacy models have been studied, research on selecting the most suitable model for a given dataset has been relatively limited. In this study, we develop a system for recommending the suitable privacy model to prevent privacy breaches. To achieve this, we analyze the data features that need to be considered when selecting a model, such as data type, distribution, frequency, and range. Based on privacy model background knowledge that includes information about the relationships between data features and models, we recommend the most appropriate model. Finally, we validate the feasibility and usefulness by implementing a recommendation prototype system.

This study is to examine a relation between coal mining subsidence occurrence at abandoned underground coal mines and underground goaf with respect to surface geology, subsurface structure, depth and thickness of coal beds and the distribution of drifts. A study is carried out at the site where susceptibility of coal mining subsidence was proven high in a previous study. In that previous study, the susceptibility of coal mining subsidence was spatially analyzed by GIS using digitized geological maps, investigation reports, digitized mining tunnel maps without consideration of subsurface structure and the multi-level arrangement of drifts. Here we analyze geological characteristics around the goaf and the distribution of coal seam based upon digitized geological maps and investigation reports on the study area. And digitized mining tunnel maps are also used to analyze the depth and multi-level arrangement of drifts. The results show that weakened surface rock strength, relatively shallow depth and large thickness of coal seam below the surface are closely related to the coal mining subsidence occurrence. Complicatedly inter-connected drifts, shallow depth of drifts and surface rock fractures are revealed as additional control factors affecting coal mining subsidence. These factors examined in this study as well as original factors should be taken into account for the quantitative estimation of coal mining subsidence occurrence at abandoned underground coal mine.

Automatic Mountain Meteorology Observation System (AMOS) is an important ingredient for several climatological and forest disaster prediction studies. In this study, we select the optimal sites for AMOS in the mountain areas of Honam and Jeju in order to prevent forest disasters such as forest fires and landslides. So, this study used spatial dataset such as national forest map, forest roads, hiking trails and 30m DEM(Digital Elevation Model) as well as forest risk map(forest fire and landslide), national AWS information to extract optimal site selection of AMOS. Technical methods for optimal site selection of the AMOS was the firstly used multifractal model, IDW interpolation, spatial redundancy for 2.5km AWS buffering analysis, and 200m buffering analysis by using ArcGIS. Secondly, optimal sites selected by spatial analysis were estimated site accessibility, observatory environment of solar power and wireless communication through field survey. The threshold score for the final selection of the sites have to be higher than 70 points in the field assessment. In the result, a total of 159 polygons in national forest map were extracted by the spatial analysis and a total of 64 secondary candidate sites were selected for the ridge and the top of the area using Google Earth. Finally, a total of 26 optimal sites were selected by quantitative assessment based on field survey. Our selection criteria will serve for the establishment of the AMOS network for the best observations of weather conditions in the national forests. The effective observation network may enhance the mountain weather observations, which leads to accurate prediction of forest disasters.

Hydrogen energy technology is gaining importance in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, offering military advantages when applied to military vehicles due to its characteristics such as reduced greenhouse gas emissions, noise, and low vibration. Korea's military has initiated the Army Tiger 4.0 plan, focusing on hydrogen application, downsizing, and AI-based smart features. The Ministry of National Defense plans to collaborate with the Ministry of Environment to expand hydrogen charging stations nationwide, anticipating increased deployment of military hydrogen vehicles. However, considering the Jet Fire and VCE(Vapor Cloud Explosion) nature of hydrogen, ensuring safety during installation is crucial. Current military guidelines specify a minimum safety distance of 2m from adjacent buildings for charging stations. Scientific methods have been employed to quantitatively assess the accident damage range of hydrogen, proposing a minimum safety distance beyond the affected area.

One of the most important issues for projecting future water resources and establishing climate change adaptation strategies is 'uncertainty'. In Korea, climate change research results were very heterogeneous even in a same basin, but there have been few climate change studies dealt with the uncertainty reduction. This is because emission scenarios, GCMs, downscaling, and rainfall-runoff models that were used in the previous studies were almost all different. In this research, fifty one GCM scenarios based A and B emission scenarios were downloaded and then compared with the observed values for a period from January 2001 to December 2008. The downloaded GCM scenarios in general simulated well the observed but did not simulated well the observed precipitation especially for the flood season in Korea. The accuracy of each GCM scenario was measured with the model efficiency, PDF-based, and Relative Entropy methodology. Among the selected GCM scenarios with three methodologies, the four common GCM scenarios(CGCM2.3.2(MRI-M, B1), MIROC3.2medress(NIES, B1), CGCM2.3.2(MRI-M, A2), CGCM2.3.2(MRI-M, A1B) were finally selected. Results of the four selected GCMs were heterogeneity and projected increases of precipitation for the Korean Peninsula by from 27.36% to 12.49%, respectively. It seems very risky to rely a water planning or a management policy on use of a single climate change scenario and from this research results. Therefore, the four selected GCM scenarios proposed quantitatively were considered firstly for the water supply in the dry season and the drought management strategy in the Korean Peninsula for the future.

충적하천에 댐이 건설되면 하류 하천의 식생환경에 변화를 주게 된다. 이입, 활착 및 성장과정을 거치는 제외지 식생은 하천의 유량이 증가하면 소류력과 세굴로 인해 쓸려 내려가기 때문에, 일반적으로 홍수기를 거치면 식생 활착 및 성장 이전의 사주 모습으로 복귀하게 된다. 그러나 댐의 홍수조절 기능은 홍수기에도 하류 하천에 식생을 정착시킬 만큼 큰 소류력을 발생시키지 않아 결국 식생의 성장에 기여하게 된다. 또한 댐은 상류로부터 공급되었던 세립토를 차단시켜 하류 하천의 하상 표면을 조립화 시키게 되는데, 이는 하상의 고정력을 증대시켜 식생의 안정적인 성장을 돕게 된다. 하천에 식생이 자리잡게 되면 홍수 시 흐름에 대한 저항력의 증가로 수위가 높아질 수 있고 제방에 자리 잡은 식생의 이탈은 제방의 붕괴 위험을 증가시킬 수 있고, 식생 사주의 발달이 지속되면 이동사주에서 정지사주로 변화되어 기존의 충적하천 자체가 사라지게 될 수도 있고, 하류 하천의 수리 및 유사 거동 특성도 변화시켜, 기존과 다른 하천 경관 및 수생태계 출현할 수 있다. 국내에서는 2000년대부터 이러한 하천 제외지 사주의 식생 활착이 가속화되어 왔으며, 특히 내성천, 황강 등 댐이 건설된 낙동강 지류 하천에서 이런 현상이 두드러지게 나타났다. 이에 따라 관련된 많은 조사·연구들이 수행되었으며, 변화 원인으로 홍수조절, 유사공급 변화 및 기후변화가 제시되었다. 그러나 댐이 건설되지 않은 하천(비조절 하천)에 대한 조사와 같은 비교군 지역의 정량적 분석은 상대적으로 부족하여, 정확한 제외지 식생 증가에 대한 원인을 규명하지 못하였다고 판단된다. 이에 비조절 하천이라 판단되는 감천을 대상으로 식생의 변화 양상을 분석하고, 유사 및 기후변화 등과의 관계를 본 연구에서 제시하였다. 감천은 상류에 김천부항댐이 건설되었으나, 댐의 영향범위가 전체 유역면적의 약 6%로 비조절 하천에 가깝고 사주가 발달된 충적하천이므로, 하천 본류에 댐이 건설된 다른 지역과의 비교군으로 적합하다고 판단하였다. 대상 지점은 상, 중, 하류의 사주가 발달된 지역으로 선정하였고, 본 연구에서 개발된 이미지 처리기법을 적용하여 사주 면적을 계산하였다. 분석결과 식생역으로 전환된 모래 사주의 면적은 봄~초여름 강우량과 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 파악되었다. 특히 초여름까지 가뭄이 지속될 때, 식생역은 증가하였다. 그러나 식생 활착 이전에 큰 유량 발생 시 식생이 쓸려 내려가고 유사가 그 자리를 대체하여 다시 사주가 발달하는 과정을 보여 주어, 감천의 사주 식생역의 증가 추세는 없는 것으로 파악되었다. 향후 댐이 본류에 건설된 조절 하천과의 비교를 통해 사주의 식생역 증가에 대한 댐 건설의 영향을 파악할 것이다.
