Minimum magnitudes $(M_c)$ for estimation of seismicity parameters were analyzed for the earthquake catalog of Korea Meteorological Agency (KMA). The temporal variation of earthquake frequency suggests that a proper $M_c$ be 3.0 for the whole southern part of the Korean Peninsula. The b-value with $M_c$ of 3.0 is estimated to be 1.11, which is larger than those of the previous studies. To see the spatial variation of $M_c$, the southern part of the peninsula were divided into grids of $0.1{\times}0.1$ degree. At the greater portion of grid points, the local earthquake catalogs do not satisfy given statistical criteria. The grid points whose local earthquake catalogs meet the criteria mostly distribute in the eastern part. $M_c$ at these points range 2.4 to 3.5 and b values range 0.75 to 1.73 with the average of 1.08 which is comparable to that for the whole southern part of the peninsula.

The Yangsan fault system of Kyungsang Basin in the southeastern part of Korean peninsula is one of the most important structures in the peninsula. A number of strong earthquakes occurred in the vicinity of the fault. It was suggested that this fault can be divided into three segments: northern, central and southern ones. Earthquake data around the Yangsan fault were classified into two groups as incomplete and complete ones; the former is the data before the Choseon Dynasty and the latter is those since the dynasty. The maximum likelihood method was applied to compute seismicity parameters such as earthquake occurrence rates, b-values of frequency-magnitude relation and maximum possible magnitudes for each segment and the entire fault. These parameters show considerably different values from segment to segment. The b-value for the entire fault turned out to be 0.85 and maximum possible magnitudes for the northern, central and southern segments are 5.2, 6.8 and 6.0, respectively. The mean return periods for the maximum possible magnitudes for each segments are greater than 1000 years. In addition, according to the analysis of the frequency-magnitude relation, the occurrence pattern of earthquakes around the Yangsan fault show more similarity to the characteristic earthquake model than the Gutenberg-Richter model. The data for each segments are, however, too scarce to obtain any physically meaningful results.

An estimation of seismic risk parameters by seismic zones of the Korea Peninsula in order to calculate the seismic hazard values using these was erformed. Seven seismic source zones were selected in consideration of seismicity and geology of Korean Peninsula. The seismicity parameters that should be estimated are maximum intensity, activity rate and b value in the Gutenberg - Richter relation. For computation of these parameters, least square method or maximum likelihood method is applied to the earthquake data in two ways; the one for the data without maximum intensity and the other with maximum intensity. Earthquake data since Choseon Dynasty is regarded as complete and estimation of parameters was made for these data using above two ways. And recently, a new method is published that estimate the seismicity parameters using mixed data containing large historical events and recent complete observations. Therefore, this method is applied to the whole earthquake data of the Korean Peninsula. It turns out that the b value computed considering maximum intensity is slightly lower than that computed considering without maximum intensity, and it becomes still lower when the incomplete data prior to Choseon Dynasty is used. In the case of the activity rates, the values obtained without maximum intensity and that with maximum intensity are similar, though they are lower when the incomplete data is used. The values of maximum intensities are usually lower when considering incomplete data. In the seismic source zone including the Yangsan Fault zone, however, the values are higher when considering the incomplete data.

본 연구에서는 2020년 산사태가 발생한 곡성지역을 대상으로 무인항공기 사진측량을 통하여 산사태 지역의 범위와 변위를 조사하고 이를 기반으로 산사태에 의한 피해범위를 LS-RAPID에서 분석하였다. LS-RAPID는 지진과 강우의 영향을 반영하는 산사태 시뮬레이션 모델이며, 산사태 운동시작여부를 평가하며 만일 발생 시 토사의 이동, 퇴적 범위, 토사층의 깊이를 예측할 수 있다. 산사태 시뮬레이션에서 중요한 변수 중의 하나는 지중의 활동층의 깊이와 분포이다. 재해현장에서 이런 자료를 신속하고 정량적으로 측정하기 위한 방법으로서 무인항공기를 이용한 측량을 실시하였다. 또한 산사태 토사의 이동과 퇴적을 검증하기 위한 자료도 획득하였다. 매개변수의 추정 시선행연구에서 제시된 값을 참고하여, 재해현장의 피해범위와 규모를 비교하여 매개변수를 추정하여 다른 연구사례에서 이용한 값들과 비교, 분석하였다. 또한, 시뮬레이션의 지형입력자료로서 무인항공기 사진 측량자료에서 생성된 DSM(Digital Surface Model)과 수지지도에서 생성한 DEM(Digital Elevation Model)을 적용한 경우, 시뮬레이션 결과에 영향을 비교, 분석하였다. 결과적으로 DEM보다 DSM을 적용하는 것이 퇴적범위가 크게 확대되지 않으며, 현장을 잘 반영한 결과가 얻어지는 것으로 평가되었다.
