지진 피해조사 사례와 지질도 지층의 특성 및 건물구조의 특성으로 지진 피해 취약도 분석방법을 제시하였다. 지진피해 예방을 위하여 최근 경주지역 지진발생으로 조사된 피해사례를 검토하여 정책마련에 도움 되기를 바라는 경우가 있다. 그러나 대부분의 조사사례는 피해규모를 정량적으로 분류하기 어렵다는 점에서 지진에 최적화된 기초자료 조사가 필요하다. 따라서 지진피해 예방을 위하여 기존 조사 자료와 함께 공간정보를 이용한 취약도 분석이 유망한 지진방재 방법론 중 하나가 될 수 있다. 다양한 공간자료를 기반으로 지진피해 취약도를 분석하는 방법론은 보다 수치적이고 객관적이어서 지진피해 예방을 위한 도시설계와 안전정책으로 반영할 수 있다. 앞으로 수치적인 분석을 실시한다면 지진에 대한 전국적 취약정도를 구분하고 우선적 안전관리 대상지를 선정하여 국가 및 지자체 예산적용에 효율적 관리방안이 도출될 수 있을 것이다.

Parameters including the seismic sources and the elastic wave propagation characteristics were analysed using the observed ground motions from 3 Kyoungju region earthquakes. The Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm was applied to invert all the variables non-linearly and simultaneously with S wave energy In frequency domain. Average stress drop of 3 events and local attenuation parameter ${\kappa}$ were estimated to about 48-bar and 0.0312 respectively. Regional attenuation parameter, Qo and ${\eta}$, were also estimated to be about 417 and 0.83. ${\kappa}$ values are much higher than that of EUS, even though smaller than that of WUS. All these values resultant from this study show that there are differences in some parameters of other studios due to differences in the governing equation. of acceleration motions

The source parameters of 85 events ($1.6\;{\leq}\;M_L\;{\leq}\;4.9$) that occurred in and around the Korean Peninsula during 2006 and 2007 were analyzed by an iterative spectral fitting procedure. The data set consists of 487 S-wave trains on three-component seismograms recorded at broadband seismograph stations in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. Moment magnitudes for each event were determined using spectral analyses of the seismograms, and the results were compared with the variation in corner frequencies with hypocentral distance. Corner frequencies have a tendency to decrease with increases in hypocentral distance, and the decrease is smaller the larger the moment magnitude. We define the measured corner frequency on a displacement spectrum as the apparent corner frequency. Although it was reported that the distance dependency of the corner frequency was found in some regions, such as the eastern Canadian Shield and the Baltic Shield, the origin of the phenomenon is not certain yet.

Many large earthquakes have continuously been reported and resulted in significant human casualties and extensive damages to properties globally. The accident of Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan was caused by a mega-tsunami, which is a secondary effect associated with the Tohoku large earthquake (M=9.0, 2011. 3. 11.). Most earthquakes occur by reactivation of pre-existing active faults. Therefore, the importance of paleoseismological study have greatly been increased. The Korean peninsula has generally been considered to be a tectonically stable region compared with neighboring countries such as Japan and Taiwan, because it is located on the margin of the Eurasian intra-continental region. However, the recent earthquakes in Gyeongju and Pohang have brought considerable insecurity on earthquake hazard. In particular, this region should be secure against earthquake, because many nuclear facilties and large industrial facilities are located in this area. However, some large earthquakes have been reported in historic documents and also several active faults have been reported in southeast Korea. This study explains the evaluation methods of geological structures on active fault, fault damage zone, the relationship between earthquake and active fault, and respect distance. This study can contribute to selection of safe locations for nuclear facilities and to earthquake hazards and disaster prevention.

As the number of earthquakes gradually increases on the Korean Peninsula, much research has been actively conducted to detect earthquakes quickly and accurately. Because traditional seismic stations are expensive to install and operate, recent research is currently being conducted to detect earthquakes using low-cost MEMS sensors. In this article, we evaluate how a low-cost MEMS acceleration sensor installed in a smartphone can be used to detect earthquakes. To this end, we installed about 280 smartphones at various locations in Korea to collect acceleration data and then assessed the installed sensors' noise floor through PSD calculation. The noise floor computed from PSD determines the magnitude of the earthquake that the installed MEMS acceleration sensors can detect. For the last few months of real operation, we collected acceleration data from 200 smartphones among 280 installed smartphones and then computed their PSDs. Based on our experiments, the MEMS acceleration sensor installed in the smartphone is capable of observing and detecting earthquakes with a magnitude 3.5 or more occurring within 10km from an epic center. During the last several months of operation, the smartphone acceleration sensor recorded an earthquake of magnitude 3.5 in Miryang on December 30, 2019, and it was confirmed as an earthquake using STA/LTA which is a simple earthquake detection algorithm. The earthquake detection system using MEMS acceleration sensors is expected to be able to detect increasing earthquakes more quickly and accurately.

Recently earthquakes have been increasing worldwide, and the largest earthquake of 5.8 on the Richter scale occurred on September 12, 2016 in the Gyeongju area. After the earthquake, more than 200 aftershocks have occurred from January 2017 to December 2017. The largest earthquake in 2017 was a 4.3-magnitude earthquake near Pohang on November 15. In this study, we tried to analyze the coordinate change due to the earthquake using the data of the CORS(Continuously Operating Reference Station) in Korea. In order to analyze the change of coordinates due to the earthquake in Pohang area on November 15, 2017, data processing was performed by kinematic method. And from January 2017 to December 2017, observation data of 9 stations in Korea were analyzed by relative positioning method and the change of coordinates due to earthquake was analyzed. As a result of the study, it was possible to estimate the instantaneous coordinate change due to the earthquake through the kinematic positioning, and it was suggested that there is no change in the coordinates of the domestic CORS by the relative positioning results. After the 2017 Gyeongju earthquake, aftershocks continue to occur, and it is necessary to monitor the area continuously.

Focal mechanism of the real and imaginary faults in the western coast of Japan has been assumed by examining the previous studies on the seismicity, seismic gap, fault behaviors, seismic zoning, and faults. In the area of no seismic information, the focal mechanism has been assumed to have the maximum influence on the tsunami height in the eastern coast of Korea. The tsunami height in a particular point of the eastern coast of Korea can vary up to 7 orders with the variation of the strike of the fault in a particular source point of the western coast of Japan with constant magnitude. Tsunami scenario DB including tile arrival times and tsunami heights has been constructing by using the assumed focal mechanism of the western coast of Japan. Tsunami warning system will be reinforced by using this tsunami scenario DB near future.

국내 지진관측소로부터 분석된 지진기록에는 자연지진 이외의 상당수의 인공발파를 포함하는 것으로 해석된다. 자연지진에 대한 지진특성연구, 지질학적 지진의 진원지연구 등을 위 해서는 지진목록에서 인공발파를 식별할 필요가 있다. 한국자원연구소는 인공발파 식별을 위한 연구의 일환으로 지진-공중음파 관측망을 운영 중에 있다. 지진-공중음파 자료분석으로 구분된 인공발파 기록의 대부분이 발파를 실시하는 산업현장과 일치하고 있음이 확인되었다. 발파장의 위치, 발파시간, 규모 및 발파방법 등의 정보는 공중음파를 이용한 인공발파 식별에 관한 정량적 연구와 자연지진에 관한 연구 등에 기본적인 정보(Ground Truth Database)를 제공하리라 판단되므로 국내에서 실시되는 인공발파에 대한 정보가 요구된다.

지진해일은 한 번 발생하면 매우 큰 피해를 주는 자연재해 중 하나이다. 특히 최근에 일어나고 있는 지진해일에서 주목할 점은 해저지진의 규모가 커짐에 따라 그로인해 생긴 지진해일이 발생 인접지역에만 피해를 주는 것이 아니라 2010년 칠레지진과 2011년 동일본 대지진으로 생긴 지진해일과 같이 태평양을 가로질러 먼 거리에까지도 영향을 준다는 것이다. 하지만 이러한 지진해일에 대하여 피해 경감 및 재해대책을 수립할 때는 지진해일의 발생시간에 대한 정확한 예측이 불가능하기 때문에 연구하는데 여러 가지 어려움이 있으므로 역사 및 가상지진해일의 수치모의실험 결과를 이용한다. 그래서 이렇게 활용성이 높은 지진해일 수치모의실험 결과의 정확도 검증을 위하여 본 연구를 시작하게 되었다. 본 연구에서 사용한 수치기법으로는 분산항을 제외한 선형 천수방정식을 이용하였고, 이를 차분하는 과정에 나타나는 수치분산을 조정하여 선형 Boussinesq 방정식의 분산항을 대체할 수 있도록 하였다. 그리고 실제 동일본 대지진으로 발생한 지진해일을 전파모의하여 분산항을 고려한 수치모의실험 결과와 이 당시 태평양에서 수면변화양상을 기록한 DART buoy 관측값과의 비교를 통해 정확도를 확인해보았다.
