Damage assessment based on in situ surveys for oil spills in marine environment is limited by fundamental difficulties as well as tremendous expenses. Except for intertidal zones, the damage is not preserved well. Also such surveys are usually confined to adult organisms. To overcome these limitations a computer model, NRDAM/CME, was developed in the case of USA (Reed et al., 1989), where an acute toxicity data base was used to assess indirect damages through food webs and loss due to recruitment as well as adult losses. In the present study damage assessment of natural biological resources for hypothetical oil spills is attempted using a computer model for hypothetical spills of Bunker C and heavy crude oil. In the model, the logical structure of NRDAM/CME was adopted, and biomass and productivity database were compiled for the Korean waters. The results showed that the damage increased in a nonlinear fashion as the spill amount increased. The magnitude of the damage depended upon the chemical properties of oil viscosity and solubility in particular, which implies that usage of oil dispersant might increase the damage by dispersing oil. The results also indicate that long term damage due to recruitment loss could be greater than short term damage.

This study has attempted to calculate the intensity of illumination for the optimal growth environment of indoor plants after analyzing both damage to plant species and growth conditions as impacted by light conditions for the Kyobo Life Insurance greenhouse. The optical intensity of illumination has been estimated after investigating the problems of growth conditions based on an analysis of illumination by light condition, dead tree replacement cycle(weeks) and rate of damage of plant species. According to the investigation of illumination, the lowest difference was observed between the shaded spot in the south(531lux) and the sunny spot(602lux) while the largest difference(nearly 500lux) was detected between the shaded spot in the central area(210lux) and the sunny spot(782lux). According to an analysis of dead trees from 1990 to 2004, in terms of dead tree replacement cycle, Viburnum awabuki was the highest(161weeks), followed by Phyllostachys spp.(84weeks), Camellia japonica and Ternstroemia japonica(40weeks). Regardless of plant species, damage rate of plant were lower in the shaded spot and higher in the sunny spot. According to correlation and regression analyses with the intensity of illumination as an independent variable and the damage rate of plant species as a dependent variable, the damage rate of plant species increased as the intensity of illumination decreased. A dramatic decline in the rate of damage was observed at $500{\sim}600lux$. At 700lux, it reached the lowest level.

There are more than 2,800 different species of termites in the world, but just there is one species (Reticulitermes speratus kyushuensis Morimoto) in Korea. Once wooden structures are damaged by termites, we are applying chemical control methods such as fumigation, treatment of insecticidal and antiseptic chemicals, soil termiticide treatment, and termite colony elimination system to pest control. But in Korea, the termite infestation is gradually increasing, so it is essential to study on the present situation of termite control in US or Japan. Accordingly, in this part we have studied focusing on the case of US. In the US, there are three groups of termites : Subterranean, Drywood, Dampwood termites, and they caused more severe infestation compared with Korea. When a structure has become infested with termites, it is important that appropriate action must be taken: the chemical pest control (soil treatment, termite baiting, termite colony elimination), the modification and maintenance of buildings and the regular inspection for follow-up. And with consideration for different characteristics of termites, the process of pest control is made according to each species of termites. Most of the subterranean termite control is done by applying either termiticide to the soil or termite monitoring and baiting system around the structure. On the other hand, drywood termite control methods can be categorized as either the treatment for the whole structure or the treatment for localized area. Applications to the whole structure are done by fumigants or heat and the localized treatments are carried out with chemicals as well as heat, freezing, microwave and electricity.

Recently, large scale natural disasters such as floods and typhoons due to climate change have been occurring all over the world causing severe damages. Among the various efforts to reduce and recover damages, recently, advanced information technology and remote sensing techniques are applied in disaster management. In this study, a real-time automated damage estimation system using information technology and spatial imagery was developed to accomplish prompt and accurate disaster damage estimation. This system is able to estimate the damage amounts of public facilities such as roads, rivers, bridges automatically through spatial imageries including ground based digital images, aerial photos, satellite images of disaster sites. Based on these spatial imageries, the damage amounts are analyzed in the Web-GIS based analysis system. Consequently, the digital damage reports such as digital disaster information sheets and damage maps can be made promptly and accurately. This system can be a useful tool to carry out prompt disaster damage estimation and efficient disaster recovery.

홍수 피해 특성을 파악하고 영향 인자를 평가하여 홍수 피해로 인한 손실을 추정하는 것은 홍수 예방과 피해 저감을 위한 대책 마련 및 정책수립을 위해 매우 중요하다. 이 중 홍수로 인한 주거건물의 피해는 일반 주민들과 직접적인 관련이 있다. 그러나 국내의 경우, 홍수피해 정보를 수집하기 위한 체계적인 조사 방법이 확립되어 있지 않아 주거건물 및 내용물의 피해가 과소평가되는 경향이 있다. 본 연구에서는 주거건물 및 내용물에 대해 홍수피해 정보의 체계적인 수집을 위해 주거건물 설문조사지를 활용하였다. 수집된 홍수피해 정보는 주거건물과 건물내용물의 홍수피해율과 영향인자간의 관계 분석에 활용하였으며, 국내 실정에 적합한 홍수피해 손상함수를 개발하고 적용 및 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 홍수로 인한 주거건물의 피해에 영향을 주는 대표 인자는 건물내 침수심과 출입구 높이로 평가되었으며, 건물내용물에 영향을 주는 인자는 건물내 침수심, 이송잡물로 나타났다. 한편, 주거건물과 내용물에 대한 손상함수를 건물내 침수심을 활용하여 회귀분석을 통해 개발하였으며, 개발된 손상함수는 국내 홍수피해 평가 모델인 다차원법과 비교 평가하였다. 평가 결과, 주거건물 피해액은 다차원법이 크게 산정되었으며, 건물내용물 피해액은 손상함수가 크게 산정된 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 수행한 주거건물과 건물내용물의 홍수피해 영향인자 평가 결과는 홍수피해 저감 대책 수립 및 향후 홍수피해를 추정하는데 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The annual increase in chemical accidents is causing damage to life and the environment due to the spread and residual of substances. Environmental damage investigation is more difficult to determine the geographical scope and timing than human damage investigation. Considering the reality that there is a lack of professional investigation personnel, it is urgent to develop an efficient quantitative evaluation method. In order to improve this situation, this paper conducted a chemical accidents investigation using unmanned aerial vehicles(UAV) equipped with various sensors. The damaged area was calculated by Ortho-image and strength of agreement was calculated using the normalized difference vegetation index image. As a result, the Cohen's Kappa coefficient was 0.649 (threshold 0.7). However, there is a limitation in that analysis has been performed based on the pixel of the normalized difference vegetation index. Therefore, there is a need for a chemical accident investigation plan that overcomes the limitations.

To find out the effect of the vegetation recovery and the problems of forest land, the researches of the mortality in pine stand and vegetation recovery have been carried out from the burned site. In area which is damaged by fire scar on crown and stem, rate of dead is higher. Where stand growing stocks were totally damaged by crown forest fire, most of vegetation was recovered by sprouts and planted seeds. Vegetation recovery power were depending on the condition of soil depth condition. For the artificial recovery, the damage happened by insects in the planted birches plantation. Rate of growth was somewhat different between Pinus densiflora and Pinus thunbergii in the plantation, because of individual growth rate.

우리나라는 지구온난화에 따른 기후변화에 의해 홍수피해가 점점 늘어나고 있는 실정이다. 이에 따라 홍수피해를 최소화 하는 주민대피체계를 제시하고 있지만 각각의 지자체의 특성을 반영하지 못하고 있다. 이재민 수용소의 인원이 부족하거나, 대피로 경로가 안전하지 못하여 2차 피해가 일어날 수 있는 가능성을 가지고 있는 곳들이 존재하고 있다. 이러한 상황에서 재해가 발생한다면 2차 피해가 발생할 가능성을 가지고 있기 때문에 이재민 수용소의 추가 지정과 대피로 경로를 새로 지정한다면, 재해 발생 시에 피해를 줄이고 보다 신속하고 안전한 대피가 이루어 질 것을 기대할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 의령군이 현재 지정하고 있는 이재민 수용소 및 대피로를 평가하여 이재민 수용소를 재선정하였다. 의령군은 위험지역에 대해서 32개의 이재민 수용소를 지정하여 운영하고 있었으며, 그 규모는 7,165명을 수용할 수 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 하지만 이 중 봉수면과 의령읍은 이재민 수용시설의 규모가 대상지역의 대피 인원보다 작게 조사되어 이재민 수용소의 증원이 필요한 것으로 나타났으며, 가례천의 대피로는 하천을 wlsk가야 하는 경로로 지정되어 있어 2차 피해의 우려가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같이 수용인원이 부족한 이재민 수용소에 대해서는 증원을 통하여 문제를 해결하였고, 이재민 수용소의 위치는 피재자의 평균보행속도를 고려하여 15분 동안에 남녀가 이동할 수 있는 보행거리인 1,125m 이내에 위치하는 이재민 수용소를 채택하였다(유완, 도시의 재해대피소 적정 위치선정 2005). 이재민 수용소의 적절한 위치 선정을 통하여 지정한다면 재해발생시 피해를 최소화 할 수 있으며, 신속하고 안전한 대피를 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
