This study has developed Forest Fire Occurrence Danger Index (FFODI) using fuel and topographical characteristics for the practical purposes of forecasting forest fire occurrence danger rating. This was made on the basis of the 126 forest fire site according to field survey. The result of fire frequency analysis showed 87 sites on conifer $(69\%)$, 21 on mixed $(16.7\%)$ and 18 $(14.3\%)$ on non-conifer. The scale for Fuel Model Index(FMI) ranges from 1 to 10 and Topography Model Index(TMI) from 1 to 5. FMI is 10 on the conifer, 3 on the mixed and 2 on the non-conifer. In case of topographical analysis, it was estimated that 90 site $(71.4\%)$ of ignition point was bottom foot hill and 22 site $(17.5\%)$ was on the southwest. TMI in southwest direction is 5.0, 4.5 in the northwest and the northeast, 4.0 in the southeast and the south, 2.5 in the north and the west and 1.5 in the east. TMI in the bottom foot hill is 5 in the bottom foot hill, 1.5 in the upper foot hill, 1.0 in the bottom middle slope and 0.5 in the upper middle slope and bottom ridge.

우리나라는 산림은 단순림이 많고 밀도가 높기 때문에 산불이 한번 발생하면 대형 산불로 확산될 우려가 크다. 이 때문에 산불 발생을 미리 예측하여 대응할 필요가 있다. 산불 발생예측을 위해서는 산불 발생에 영향을 미치는 인자와 산불 발생의 관계를 파악하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구는 1997년부터 2006년까지 발생한 전국에서 발생한 산불의 point data를 이용하였다. 산불 발생 지점의 지형인자와 지리인자, 그리고 산불 발생 당시의 기상인자로 DB를 구축하고 산불 발생과의 관계를 구명하였다. 지형인자 분석은 고도, 방위, 경사에 따른 산불 발생 빈도를 분석하였고, 그 상관관계를 분석하였다. 지리인자 분석에서는 인구밀도, 산불 발생지역의 접근성(도로에 따른 접근성, 대도시와의 거리에 따른 접근성)에 대한 산불 발생의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 기상인자와 산불 발생의 관계는 전국 76개소에서 관측된 온습도 데이터를 보간한 자료와 산불 발생과의 관계를 분석하였다. 기상인자 분석은 산불이 가장 빈번하게 발생하는 3월 하순, 4월 초순, 4월 중순 자료를 평균하여 산불 발생 빈도와의 상관관계를 분석하고 산불 발생 위험지역을 도출하였다. 본 연구를 통해서 각 인자와 산불 발생의 관계를 분석해보았다. 하지만 각 인자간의 관계를 분석하지 못한 것이 한계점이라고 할 수 있다. 차후 연구에서는 각 인자간의 관련성을 분석하고 산불 발생의 원인과 인자간의 구체적인 인과관계를 밝히는 것도 필요할 것으로 보인다.

기상레이더는 강우의 공간분포를 관측하고 강우장 이동특성을 예측하여 집중호우, 태풍 등에 대비할 수 있는 시간을 확보하기 위하여 운용되고 있다. 기상레이더는 전파를 송신하고 대기 중의물체(수상체, 건물 등)에 부딪혀 되돌아오는 신호를 수신하여 강우의 양, 분포, 이동방향 등을 산정할 수 있으며 세부적으로 입체관측(volume scan)을 반복하여 고도각 별로 거리와 방위각에 따라 다양한 합성영상을 산출할 수 있는 특성이 있다. 본 연구는 구름의 수평적 분포를 파악하는데 용이하여 기존에 널리 사용된 CAPPI 합성영상과 최근 현업에서 복잡한 지형으로 인한 오차를 해소하고자 광범위하게 사용되고 있는 다중 고도각 기반 레이더 강수량(hybrid surface rainfall, HSR) 합성영상을 취득하여 수문해석을 위한 유역단위 면적강수량의 추정오차를 검토하였다. HSR 합성영상은 우리나라와 같이 산악지형이 많이 존재하는 경우 지형의 영향을 받지 않아 지면에 가장 가까운 고도각의 관측자료를 사용하므로 지상관측소 강수량과 비교한 결과에서 기존의 CAPPI 합성영상 레이더 강수량과 통계적 효율 기준을 산정하여 레이더 강수의 품질이 개선되는 것을 확인하였다. 최근 환경부에서 추진하고 있는 인공지능(AI) 홍수예보 및 가상모형(Digital Twin)을 활용하여 홍수정보를 생산 및 전달하는 과정에서 유역의 지형적 특성을 현실적으로 고려한 레이더 강수량을 사용함으로 기후변화에 따라 국지적으로 발생하는 집중호우 대응 및 과학적 홍수관리를 실현할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Geological structures such as fault and fracture patterns provide important information about preliminary exploration of mineralized areas and geological characterization. They may be recognized and interpreted from satellite images as line-like features usually referred to as lineaments. A proposed filtering method taking the sums azimuth angle into account is utilized, by which linear edges from low contrast areas where features extend parallel to the sun direction and in mountain shadow can be effectively extracted. Then, generalized Hough transform is applied to extract lineaments which correspond to fault and fracture patterns.

Solar energy is a viable source to replace fossil fuels. However, challenges associated with site selection for solar panel installation inhibit the uptake of solar energy systems. Expressway slopes offer a potentially attractive alternative for solar panel installation for the following reasons: expressway slopes are vacant public sites, they are abundant (about 4,193km in South Korea), and they are linear in nature. Traditoinally when selecting sites for solar systems conventional surveying methods are employed. Unfortunately, these methods can be dangerous, time consuming, and labor intensive. To overcome these limitations of conventional site selection methodologies, we propose an automated approach using numerical maps. First, contour and expressway polylines are extracted separately from numeric maps. The extracted contour lines are then converted into a digital terrain model; this is used to calculate aspect and slope information. Next, the extracted expressway lines are projected onto a binary image and refined to recover the disconnections, and then applied to create a buffer zone to narrow the search space. Finally, all data sets are overlaid to identify candidate sites for solar panel systems and are visually verified through comparisons with aerial photos.

To investigate edge vegetation structure and edge species in Chiak Mountain National Park, field survey was executed from July to September, 1988. Canonpy drip-line type, cantilevered type and advancing type of edge vegetation were observed on site. The relative importance values of major species in each crown layer were changed along distance from edge to forest interior differently by aspect and present tree layer vegetation. Especially light-oriented edge species as codominant species were observed in Pinus densiflora forest interior at south slope and moisture - oriented species as codominant species were observed with light-oriented species in north edge beside torrential stream. No. of species and individuals by crown layer, species diversities and dissimilarities were decreased according to the distance from edge to forest interior, and edge depth was estimated as 15-20m. Dominant species of edge in shrub and ground layer were different by altitude and topographic locations; valley, ridge, summit and edge species at summit were not observed at other area. Floristic similarities between edge vegetations at different environments were affected by altitude, aspect and topographic location. Frequency classes of edge species were different by aspect, altitude and topographic location. Weigela subscssilis showed high frequency class in all environment conditions and Quercus mongolica, Lindera obtusiloba, Symplocos chinensis for, pilosa, weigela subscssilis, Fraxinus rhynchophylla, Actinidia arguta, Rubus crategifolius. Pinus densiflora, Aralia elata etc, were observed as edge species at all environmental conditions, respectively.

Most steep slope failures tend to take place in geographically unstable areas. Mt. Baekdusan is known as a potentially active volcano in a typical mountainous terrain. This study prepared a digital elevation model of Mt. Baekdusan area and created a hazard map based on topographical factors and structural lineament analysis. Factors used in vulnerability analysis included geographical data involving aspect and slope distribution, as well as contributory area of upslope, tangential gradient curvature, profile gradient curvature, and the distribution of wetness index among the elements that comprise topography. In addition, the stability analysis was conducted based on the lineament intensity map. Concerning the disaster vulnerability of Mt. Baekdusan region, the south and south west area of Mt. Baekdusan has a highest risk of disaster (grade 4-5) while the risk level decreases in the north eastern region.

The present study evaluated the blocking effect of natural and artificial topography on sunshine duration in the southern coastal area of Haui-do. The geospatial data for the target area was constructed by geographic information system(GIS) data. Three-dimensional modeling based on solar azimuth and altitude angles was conducted for the assessment of sunshine environment. The sunshine area was evaluated over 80~90% of the target area in the daytime, especially in summer. The blocking effect of mountainous terrain on sunshine duration was presented at the northern residential area in the late afternoon. There was also the effect of artificial topography by construction of fill-up bank on sunshine environment at the southern residential area early in the morning and the south-western part of salt field in the late afternoon.

The study was conducted to make a map for selecting righteous tree species for each site by digital terrain analysis. We set an algorithmic value for each tree species' characteristics with distribution pattern analysis, and the soil types were digitized from data indicated on soil map. Mean altitude, slope, aspect and micro-topography were estimated from the digital map for each block which had been calculated by regression equations with altitude. The results obtained from the study could be summarized as follows 1. We could develope a method to select righteous tree species for a given site with concern of soil, forest condition and topographic factors on Muju-Gun in Chonbuk province(2,500ha) by the terrain analysis and multi-variate digital map with a personal computer. 2. The brown forest soils were major soil types for the study area, and 29 tree species were occurred with Pinus densiflora as a dominant species. The differences in site condition and soil properties resulted in site quality differences for each tree species. 3. We tried to figure out the accuracy of a basic program(DTM.BAS) enterprised for this study with comparing the mean altitude and aspect calculated from the topographic terrain analysis map and those from surveyed data. The differences between the values were less than 5% which could be accepted as a statistically allowable value for altitude, as well as the values for aspect showed no differences between both the mean altitude and aspect. The result may indicate that the program can be used further in efficiency. 4. From the righteous-site selection map, the 2nd group(R, $B_1$) took the largest area with 46% followed by non-forest area (L) with 23%, the 5th group with 7% and the 4th group with 5%, respectively. The other groups occupied less than 6%. 5. We suggested four types of management tools by silvicultural tree species with considering soil type and topographic conditions.

본 연구는 산림 내 임상을 구획하기 위해 고해상도 IKONOS 위성영상을 객체 지향기반으로 분할 및 분류하였다. 영상분할 시 분광정보와 공간정보를 동시에 이용하여 모양이나 분광정보에 있어서 동질한 영역이라고 정의되는 영상객체를 생성하였다. 분할된 영상을 분류계급(class)으로 분류하기 위하여 NDVI와 경사, 방위, 고도 등 지형인자를 새로운 레이어로 추가시키고, 분류개념을 형성하기 위하여 퍼지 규칙을 사용하였다. 영상의 획득시기가 5월초인 점을 감안하여 NDVI는 0.2, 경사 $^{\circ}5^{\circ}$ 그리고 고도 130m를 기준으로 산림과 비산림지역을 분류할 수 있었고, 지형인자에 영향을 많이 받는 굴참나무와 신갈나무 또한 효율적으로 분류할 수 있었다.
