2020년은 장마와 태풍으로 인해 중부 및 남부지방에 폭우가 발생하여 강남역을 비롯한 지하철 역사와 지하 주차장 등 많은 지하시설이 침수되었고, 부산에서는 침수된 지하차도에 진입한 차량의 운전자가 사망하는 등의 사고가 발생하였다. 지하에 설치된 시설들은 침수가 발생할 경우 대부분 출입구를 통해 유입되는 물을 거슬러 대피해야 하므로 낙상과 그로 인한 익사 등 자칫 큰 인명피해를 초래할 수 있어 특별히 주의할 필요가 있다. 대피 여부를 결정하고 그에 필요한 시간을 계산하기 위해서는 안전하게 대피 가능한 최대수심(한계수심)을 결정하는 것이 필요하다. 현재 한계수심을 제시한 여러 연구가 있지만 대부분 소수의 성인만을 대상으로 한 실험 결과이기 때문에 성별, 연령, 체중 등 다양한 유형의 사람을 고려한 대피방법 제시가 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 실험 참가자의 유형(성별, 연령, 체중, 신장)에 따른 대피시간의 차이를 고려한 한계수심을 제시할 수 있도록 하였다. 총 308명이 실험에 참여하였으며, 이중 남성은 164명, 여성은 144명이었다. 참가자의 연령은 14세부터 75세까지이며, 신장은 최소 145cm에서 최대 187cm, 체중은 35kgf에서 110kgf 범위이다. 대피시간은 물이 흘러 내려오는 5.1m 길이의 계단을, 난간을 잡은 채 거슬러 올라가는 시간으로 설정하였으며, 계단 상층부의 수심이 30cm일 때와 40cm일 때(한계수심 조건), 2회 측정하였다. 또한, 측정이 종료된 후, '안전하게 대피 가능할 것으로 예상되는 수심'을 선택하도록 하여 참가자가 체감한 실험 난이도를 간접적으로 확인하고 향후 연구에 활용할 수 있도록 하였다. 수집된 자료를 분석한 결과 여성의 경우 수심 30cm와 40cm의 평균 대피시간이 4초 정도의 차이가 나타났으나, 남성의 경우 유의미한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 또한 '안전하게 대피 가능할 것으로 예상되는 수심'에 대한 답변으로 다수가 실험의 최대 수심 조건인 40cm 이상을 선택하였다. 이와 같은 결과를 보아, 실험의 난도가 높지 않았다고 예상할 수 있으며, 그 원인은 참가자의 안전을 고려해 실험 조건을 난간을 잡은 채 보행하도록 설정한 것이 한계수심을 증가시키는 결과를 가져왔다고 볼 수 있다. 유형에 따른 대피시간의 차이를 분석하기 위해서는 실험의 한계수심 조건을 높이거나, 난간을 잡지 않고 보행할 수 있도록 안전장치를 추가하는 등, 실험조건의 변화가 필요할 것으로 판단되며, 추가적으로 난간을 잡은 채 보행하는 것이 한계수심을 얼마나 높일 수 있는지에 대한 검토를 통하여 정량적인 대피가능 시간을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

This study aims to investigate an economical efficiency of two excavation methods with respect to the room-and-pillar method for the underground space and conventional excavation method, i.e. 2-arch tunnelling method. For feasibility study, an excavation cost for both room-and-pillar method and 2-arch tunnelling method was estimated when the same space in operation was required. It was assumed that properties of reinforcements and rock were adopted from literatures. However, an excavation shape of the room-and-pillar method was assumed not to be the rectangular shape which is a general type in the room-and-pillar method but to be an arch shape in order to compare with the conventional excavation method (2-arch tunnelling) and to achieve the maximum bearing capacity of the structure during excavation. Consequently, the wider space in use or required and the better condition of rock we assumed, the more economical advantage we have in the room-and-pillar method than the 2-arch tunnelling method.

This study proposed evaluation indices and weights for objectively evaluating the validity of rail station area development site. In this study, evaluation indices were selected by quantification, application of a new rail station, sustainability of data collection, correlation of indices and expert decision-making. As a result, 8 indices such as railway and subway demand, the ratio of land price etc. were selected and these indices could be classified into demand, feasibility and regionality. AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) result showed that the weights of demand (0.486) and feasibility (0.369) were more important than that of regionality (0.145). The application result on 75 existing railway stations showed that an important consideration of railway station area development site was a rail and subway demand on Seoul metropolitan area and was a feasibility on local area. Therefore, the selection of a rail station area development site may be determined based on demand and feasibility. In addition, these results are expected to be utilized as basic data for making decisions on the rail station area development at an initial stage.

The monitoring of vegetation and water quality before(2003), during(2004) and after(2005) the restoration work of Cheonggye Stream indicated that $BOD_5$ concentration before the project averaged 51.1mg/L and that both the inflow of water from Hang River and the funnel of subway station water into the stream lowered the $BOD_5$ to 3.3mg/L, improving its water quality to the third grade. Species of plants slightly increased from 121 to 132 after the restoration. Specifically, perennial plant comprised 35.6%, an increase from 24.8% recorded before the restoration. Phragmites communis and Zoysia japonica communities were observed as the introduction vegetation. However, Humulus japonicus and Erigeron canadensis communities, which were classified into the first grade according to the vegetation conservation classification, were found to be still prevailing though they were dominant community before the restoration, meaning that the ecological condition of plants had not changed very significantly. An the other hand the water quality of the reference reach was classified into the first grade based on $BOD_5$, which implies the water quality of the section was better than the project reaches. Besides the section had more diverse plant species which numbered 154, and furthermore, the rate of immigrated plants comprised 13% which was lower than 28.8% recorded by the project sections. The project reaches are considered to be inferior to the reference section in terms of ecological condition. The effectiveness of the stream restoration cannot be determined only by such short-term investigation as was conducted in this study, and it is considered that the effectiveness of the restoration of Cheonggye Stream can be determined only if investigations in other major factors are conducted over the long-term period.

Interest in the everyday hazards of radon has recently increased as such, this study attempted to examine the dangers of radon in spilled groundwater by comparing the radon concentrations of the drained groundwater and tap water used in recirculating systems in Incheon Subway restrooms. At five stations of Incheon Subway Line 1 and three stations of Line 2, drained groundwater is recirculated and used in restrooms for toilet flushing. Stations restroom tap water for hand washing that used as a control and the measured values of each were compared. With the cooperation of Incheon Transportation Corporation, samples of spilled groundwater and tap water were collected sealed to prevent contact with the air, and a DURRIDGE RAD7 was used as the experimental equipment. The collected samples were subjected to radial equilibration for approximately 3.5 h, at which the radon concentration reached its maximum, and then calculated as 10 measurements using the RAD7 underwater radon measurement mode. In all eight stations, the radon concentration in tap water was lower than the recommended amount. However, in an average of 7 out of the eight stations, the radon concentration in the effluent groundwater was 100 times higher than that in tap water. Since high radon concentrations in groundwater runoff can be harmful to humans, and there is no accurate standard for radon concentrations in domestic water, it is necessary to continuously monitor radon in water and prepare a guidance of recommended values.

The number of elderly people worldwide is rapidly increasing and the mobility handicapped suffering from inconvenient public transportation service is also increasing. In Korea and abroad, various policies are being implemented to provide high-quality transportation services for the mobility handicapped, and budget support and investment related to mobility facilities are being expanded. The mobility handicapped spends more time for transit transfer than normal users and their satisfaction with transit service is also lower. There exist transfer inconvenience points of the mobility handicapped due to various factors such as long transfer distances, absence of transportation facilities like elevators, escalators, etc. The purpose of this study is to find transfer inconvenience points for convenient transit transfer of the mobility handicapped using Smart card Big data. This study process traffic card transaction data and construct transfer travel data by user groups using smart card big data and analysis of the transfer characteristics for each user group ; normal, children, elderly, etc. Finally, find transfer inconveniences points by comparing transfer patterns between normal users and the mobility handicapped. This study is significant in that it can find transfer inconvenience points for convenient transit transfer of the mobility handicapped using Smart card Big data. In addition, it can be applicated of Smart card Big data for developing public transportation polices in the future. It is expected that the result of this study be used to improve the accessibility of transit transportation for mobility handicapped.

This study was for analyzing the external environment and internal space structure and improving the way of use efficiency in waterfront through the Dragon boat festival to utilize waterfront actively. Through from the four target area, Hongkong, Busan, Incheon and Daejeon, this study was for an importance and satisfaction analysis for users about the element effect on the waterfront use efficiency and the contribution to cultural contents revitalization of waterfront by giving basic data. The result is as follows. First, in the importance analysis about 12 items, modern cultural infra around the waterfront was ranked highest, 8.26 and waterfront landscape, square & openspaces, convenience facilities, transport, green area, quality of viewing space, historic resources, pedestrian, suitability of width, wave, depth, water quality, berth & mooring were ranked in descending order. Second, waterfront landscape was interpreted by rather the external environmental impact according to city size than the matter of spatial structure in target area and judged as an important factor effect on site selection for waterfront. In the analysis of waterfront landscape, the reason of the high satisfaction about domestic target area was that riverside parks were recently made considering their waterfront activities. Viewing space was major infra where people could experience the pleasant waterfront and watch dynamic water leisure sports like Dragon boat three dimensionally and was thought to be improved for the use efficiency. Third, tourism resources were very important element that affect the use efficiency of waterfront, so waterfront users react sensitively to modern tourism resources rather than to historic resources. This meant that tourism infrastructure for shopping and leisure of the young affected the use efficiency of waterfront, so Hongkong and Busan were in a better position in terms of using waterfront that was near the tourism infrastructure. Fourth, in the analysis of traffic accessibility, both Hongkong and Busan were high evaluated in terms of excellent traffic accessibility by subway. Daejeon was low rated in terms of the satisfaction of use efficiency, because of the relative lower place awareness compared with transportation infrastructure. In Hongkong, waterfront was connected with downtown and in Busan, housing complex and shopping centers were located in the place for users in an easily accessible on foot, so the satisfaction was high-pitched. Finally, in the importance of water surface width and the analysis of satisfaction, except Incheon, all the three were over 200m in width of water surface and this meant the surface width above certain level was interpreted to interrupt the concentration of enjoying the water leisure sports. In the analysis of surface condition such as water quality, water depth and wave, through a survey, Busan had a problem with water quality and Gapcheon in Daejeon had a problem with optimal water depth by the festival participants.
