The development of the method for flood runoff analysis representing Korean mountain basins have been one of big concerns for Korean hydrologists for several decades. Several traditional methods dealing with unit hydrograph have been restricted to be used in Korea basins, because of its drawbacks due to its originality from other countries and the uncertainties of control parameters as well as its linearity assumption between rainfall and runoff relationship. In this paper, several geomorphological similarity relationships for Korean mountain basins was developed by using the experimental data over 40 Korean basins. Then those were applied directly to geomorphological unit hydrograph theory to meet Korean geomorphological unit hydrograph. The developed method was applied to Andong Dam basin. The results show the applicability and simplicity of the developed Korean geomorphological unit hydrograph generally for Korean mountain basins in future. It might be needed for more validations and applications of this method over Korean regions.

A Digital Terrain Model (DTM) consists of two components;one is sampling of the terrain imformation, and the other is interpolation. The present study aims at the investigation of the accuracy and efficiency of Moving Average and Linear Prediction interpolation methods by numerical experiment. Basic input data are the elerations in square grid which procured by photogrammetry, and the accuracy of each interpolation is investigated on different grid size, terrain type and pattern of reference points.

To develop a wind farm in a mountainous terrain like Korea, it is generally more advantageous to install wind turbines along a mountain ridge where has relatively better wind resource because that is open in all directions and free from shielding by the surrounding topography. In this study, the SRTM (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission) v4.1 3 arc-second resolution digital elevation database and the geomorphometric characterization software LandSerf v2.3 are used to extract ridge lines for assessing a wind farm siting in mountainous terrain. The effectiveness of wind farm siting along a ridge line is confirmed that the most of wind turbines in the Gangwon, Taegisan, and Maebongsan wind farms in Korea's mountainous terrain are placed along the primary and secondary ridge lines where wind resource is relatively outstanding.

There is limitation to represent forms and internal process of topography if using simple symbols for geomorphic landscape in the cartography. One of the alternative method to find a solution to these problems is to use association symbol to imagine real landscapes through map reading. This study suggested making method of association symbols to describe geomorphic landscapes effectively. Landforms are not static objects but dynamic pedogenesis and morphogenesis one. It should be consider form, process, and material to make landform mapping, and also, make landform symbols by considering scalable changeability for point-polygon, line-polygon, point-line by scale. As a results, this study expected to help applications for geomorphology as well as environments, ecology, archaeology, and civil engineering etc.

The purposes of this study is to investigate spatial structure characteristics of earthen walled fortresses based on topography, which are locational and Plane morphology, Cross sections of earthworks. Target areas of this study are 37 earthen walled fortresses which are designated as cultural properties. This study is conducted with methodologies of literature review, field investigation, investigation on topography materials and relation analyses of topography&spatial structure. The results from study on spatial structure of earthen walled fortresses are as follows. First, Earthen walled fortresses on flat topography were adjacent to water systems like rivers or streams. Plane morphology showed regular shapes. The cross section morphology presented trapezoid the most with earthworks of which outer and inner walls were built. Second, More than 70% of earthen walled fortresses on hilly topography had water system within close range of approximately 1.5km. Plane morphology was mainly with more than 73% of irregular types. Cross sections of earthworks were of morphology with more than 86% of bordered type and another type leaning against existing topography like mountains. Third, 59% of earthen walled fortresses in mountain areas had water system within their close range, which indicated that they depended on external water system less than those with hilly topography. Plane morphology was mainly with more than 67% of irregular types. Cross sections of earthworks were of monoslope method with more than 94% of bordered type and another type leaning against mountains.

Rock platforms and TTP (breakwater) are dangerous environments commonly subject to tidal and high wave energy on the open coast. This paper is a study on risk assessment to provide risk information, which is a representative method for preventing coastal safety accidents. Risk assessment based on geo-morphological information was conducted for the Halmi-Halabi rock platform in Anmyeon-eup, Taean-gun, Chungcheongnam-do. As a result of the risk assessment in 16 directions, the risk was evaluated high in the NE, ENE, S, SSW, and W directions, where there are many sections with slopes exceeding ±20°, and the NW direction was the lowest. Geo-morphology on rock platform is central to understanding what makes one stretch of complex coastline more hazardous than another, and it can be used to create site-specific morphological risk item. In particular, it will be assisting coastal managers in an effort to reduce the number of injuries and drowning incidents by providing hazard information to assess the relative risk.

Non-point source pollution poses a serious threat to river. therefore non-point pollution model was developed. This non-point pollution model requires detailed spatial data for accurate predictions Geo-spatial Information System(GSIS) is well suited to those needs. The parameters for these models provided by the GSIS were slope, slope shape, field slope length and SCS run off curve number. Hence, this study presents an application of GSIS processing tools for AGNPS model developed by the ARS(Agricultural Research Service) in cooperation with the MPCA(Minnesota Pollution Control Agency) and has developed interface that construct the input data of ASCII type in the AGNPS model using GSIS.

Drainage density, defined as the degree to which a landscape is dissected by streams, is a fundamental property of natural terrain that reflect the comprehensive morphologic response of watershed. In this study the spatial variability of drainage density is analyzed by statistical approach to it and its plotting method is proposed. Overland flow length is confirmed to be a highly variable spatial factor from the result of statistical analysis. Distribution map of drainage density based on spatial autocorrelation length in this study would be a superior tool to the classical definition of drainage density.

본 연구에서는 지역빈도분석을 이용하고 있는 홍수량 산정 지침에서 활용되고 있는 전국대상의 강우관소에 대한 확률강우량과 강원지역에 위치한 강우관측소만을 대상으로 산정한 확률강우량을 비교하였다. 이를 위해서 강원도 지역의 48개 지점의 지속기간별 강우자료를 수집한 후, K-means 기법을 이용하여 6개의 군집으로 구분하였다. 강원도 대부분이 산악지형임을 고려해 산악효과를 야기하는 지형인자와 강우자료의 관계를 파악하였다. 국가수자원관리종합정보시스템에서 수집한 강우자료를 사용하여 지속시간별 최대강우량과 산악효과를 야기하는 지형인자로 선정한 고도 이외에 위도, 경도를 각각 추가인자로 고려해 지역빈도분석을 수행하였다. 위 지형인자와 강우자료를 이용하여 수문학적 동질한 특성을 가지는 군집을 구성하였으며, 위도와 경도를 인자로 추가하면 더욱 강한 상관성을 보임을 알 수 있었다. 군집분석결과를 통해 모수를 추정하고 적절한 분포를 선택하였으며, 이상치검정과 적합도 검정을 통해 최종 분포를 결정하였다. 고도와 위도, 경도를 모두 고려해 이용한 지역빈도분석 결과 강원도의 실제 강우특성과 마찬가지로 고도의 높낮이에 따라 강우형태를 전국단위 지역빈도분석과 비교하였다. 최종적으로 현재 활용되고 있는 홍수량 산정 지침의 확률강우량과 강원지역에 위치한 강우관측소만을 대상으로 한 지역빈도분석의 차이의 발생원인과 강원지역에서의 특이성을 결론으로 제시하였다.

In this paper the quantitative classification parameters of terrain which can be practicable to the interpolation of digital terrain model forming a regular grid pattern have been suggested and objective terrain classification have been established by making a cluster analysis using these parameters. Also, interpolation suitable to the classification of terrain has been used by making a descriminant alaysis from description parameters of terrains. The terrain classification in this paper was dependent upon two parameters of the ratio horizontal area to inclined area and the magnitude of harmonic vectors. And the studying area was seperated to three groups of terrains by these two parameters. Three groups of terrains could be classified into the discriminant functions. By determining the ratio of area and harmonic vector magnitude in any terrains using the above discriminant function, it was possible to discriminate the terrains to apply the interpolation practicable to the terrain characteristics.
