The objective of this study is to predict and reduce potential damage caused by chlorine gas leaks, a hazardous material, when vehicles transporting it overturn due to accidents or other incidents. The goal is to forecast the anticipated damages caused by chlorine toxicity levels (ppm) and to design effective response strategies for mitigating them. To predict potential damages, we conducted quantitative assessments using the ALOHA program to calculate the toxic effects (ppm) and damage distances resulting from chlorine leaks, taking into account potential negligence of drivers during transportation. The extent of damage from toxic gas leaks is influenced by various factors, including the amount of the leaked hazardous material and the meteorological conditions at the time of the leak. Therefore, a comprehensive analysis of damage distances was conducted by examining various scenarios that involved variations in the amount of leakage and weather conditions. Under intermediate conditions (leakage quantity: 5 tons, wind speed: 3 m/s, atmospheric stability: D), the estimated distance for exceeding the AEGL-2 level of 2 ppm was calculated to be 9 km. This concentration poses a high risk of respiratory disturbance and potential human casualties, comparable to the toxicity of hydrogen chloride. In particular, leaks in urban areas can lead to significant loss of life. In the event of a leakage incident, we proposed a plan to minimize damage by implementing appropriate response strategies based on the location and amount of the leak when an accident occurs.

This study investigated the damage range of the debris flow to predict the amount of collapsed soil in a landslide event. The height of the collapsed slope and the distance traveled by the collapsed soil were used to predict the total trajectory distance using a random walk model. Debris flow trajectory probabilities were calculated through 10,000 Monte Carlo simulations and were used to calculate the damage range as measured from the landslide scar to its toe. Compiled information on debris flows that occurred in the Cheonwangbong area of Mt. Jirisan was used to test the accuracy of the proposed random walk model in estimating the damage range of debris flow. Results of the comparison reveal that the proposed model shows reasonable accuracy in estimating the damage range of debris flow and that using 10 m × 10 m cells allows the damage range to be reproduced with satisfactory precision.

도심지내에 위치한 부천 LPG충전소 사고 조사를 통하여 가장 피해효과가 큰 탱크로리 폭발에 따른 결과를 분석하였다. 분석범위는 BLEVE 현상에 의한 방출열과 과압이 충전소 주변에 위치한 구조물이나 인체에 미치는 영향을 대상으로 실제 현장조사를 통하여 수집된 피해결과와 이론적인 모델(PHAST-Process Hazad Analysis Software Tools) 분석 결과를 비교하였다. 부천 LPG 충전소 폭발 사고의 피해효과는 방출열의 경우 두 가지 모두 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으나 과압의 경우, 실제 피해는 이론적 모델 분석결과의 약 15%정도에 해당하는 축소된 거리에서 나타났다. 또한 충전소 인근에 위치한 구조물에 대한 피해효과는 부분적으로 과압에 의한 균열 및 붕괴 현상보다는 열 효과에 의한 콘크리트 강도 저하와 성상변화가 크게 나타났다.

This study attempted to derive an equation for calculating the damage impact distance using CARIS so that local governments can quickly determine evacuation and notification of residents in the event of an ammonia-release accident. Ammonia is an accident-causing substance and one of 16 substances to prepare for resident evacuation. It is the most frequently occurring chemical with 58 chemical accidents from 2014~2019. The study derives an equation for calculating the damage impact distance according to the exposure time of ammonia based on AEGL, an acute exposure standard applicable to the general population, which is includes vulnerable groups such as infants, children and the elderly and designated by the EPA. The calculation formulas for each concentration and exposure time to classify the hazardous area according to AEGL-3 and the semi-dangerous area according to AEGL-2 were derived. A comparison of the relative standard deviation between the damage impact distance values of CARIS revealed that is was in the range of 0~2%. Local governments should consider the actual accident situation and apply the appropriate damage-affected distance calculation formula derived from the study to evacuate residents near the origin of the accident or use for protective measures such as indoor evacuation notification.

오늘날 인류가 누리는 문명은 자연에 대한 인류의 끊임없는 도전으로 이루어진 성과이지만 인류의 능력이 지나치게 거대화되어 자연의 평형상태를 깨뜨린 것이다. 또 산업 발달로 대량의 오염물질이 자연계에 확산됨으로써 자연계뿐아니라 인류 자신에게도 직접, 간접적인 피해를 주게 되었다. 근대화의 폐해로 생긴 다양한 환경오염과 생태파괴로 인해 위협받는 우리 삶을 반성적으로 성찰하고 지속 가능한 미래를 위해, 우리 먹을거리의 생산지이자 물질순환의 핵심고리인 농업의 피해를 개선해 나가고자 하는 것이다.

Ambrosia beetle, Platypus koryoensis, is a vector of oak wilt disease caused by Raffaelea sp. in Korea. The degree of damage by oak wilt disease was dependent on the density of the beetles in the oak trunk, a relationship between the degree of damage by oak wilt disease and the density of beetle on the basis of the number of entry hole was studied. Entry hole distribution within tree trunk was analyzed by the nearest neighbor method. Thirty four oak trees (Quercus mongolica) located in survey area were selected and then degree of damage, the number of attack hole/$623cm^2$ in upper (50cm from the surface) and lower (surface) trunk and the nearest neighbor distance between the holes were measured. The number of hole and the nearest neighbor distance in upper and lower part were positively correlated with each other. As the degree of damage was severer, the number of the holes increased, whereas the nearest neighbor distance decreased. The distribution pattern of the hole was changed from clumped one to uniform as the severity of damage increased. These results suggested that Platypus koryoensis attacked the oak tree in concentrative manner at initial stage of attack but at final stage, it distributed uniformly to reduce intraspecific competition between the beetles.

조명탄 탄체 착발거리 전투실험은 탄체 착발거리에 대한 전문가 및 학계의 의견이 상이하고, 또한 교리적인 면에서도 조명제 파열후 탄체에 대한 거리 규명과 탄저마개 낙탄지대에 대한 교리가 미정립되어 있다. 따라서 이러한 교리적인 분석결과를 토대로 안흥종합시험장에서 국방과학연구소, 국방품질 관리소 및 탄약 제조업체가 참여하여 탄체 착발거리를 규명하기 위한 전투실험을 실시하여 탄체 착발거리 뿐만 아니라 탄저마개의 낙탄지대도 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 전투실험결과는 창군이래 처음 실시해서 새롭게 발견한 귀중한 산물로 평시 및 국지도발 작전시 조명탄 사격간 대민 피해예방에 획기적으로 기여할 것이라고 본다.

The main purpose of this study is to address flooding resilient land use management strategy based on the distributional characteristics of storm damage areas in Gyeonggi-do. The employed methods are 1) Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (ESDA) to understand the spatial patterns of storm damage areas occurred from 2005 to 2009, 2) Local Indicator of Spatial Association (LISA) to examine spatial autocorrelation existed in storm damage areas for the year of 2009. The results show that 1) crop land damage is very sensitive to heavy precipitation, 2) damaged buildings are found in all over the Gyeonggi areas, but relatively more damages are in the regions closed to the City of Seoul, 3) damaged roads-bridges, streams, and reaches are found in mostly rural areas, 4) building and crop land damage occurs mostly in lowlands with different spatial patterns. These findings imply that 1) it will be useful to consider the average distances and slopes of damaged building and crop lands from streams for the decision making of land use management strategy, 2) further management efforts are required in the north, east, and south regions of Gyeonggi areas to prevent roads-bridge, stream, and reach damages, 3) the present land use pattern needs to be carefully investigated by considering the damage clustered areas for the year of 2009 based on watershed and municipality boundaries.

건물에 있어서 주요 재해는 지진, 폭풍, 홍수 등의 자연현상에 의한 피해와 인위적인 화재에 의한 피해가 있다. 화재는 도시가 확대됨과 동시에 그 빈도가 높아지고 화재규모는 대형화되는 추세며 이에 따른 인적ㆍ물적 피해의 가능성이 높기 때문에, 도시에서는 큰 고민거리가 아닐 수가 없다. 도시는 경제와 산업이 집중하고 인구밀도가 높으며, 건물은 점차 고층화 및 다양화되고 더욱 복잡한 기능을 갖게 되었다. 따라서 대도시가 될수록 건물의 화재예방 및 소방, 재해 후의 조치가 중요시되며, 또한 앞으로의 과제이기도 하다.(중략)

There is growing interest in solar power generation due to global warming. As a result, demand for polysilicon, which is the core material for solar cells, is increasing day by day. As the market grows, large and small accidents occurred in the production process. In 2013, hydrochloric acid leaked from the polysilicon manufacturing plant in SangJu. In 2014, a fire occurred at a polysilicon manufacturing plant in Yeosu, and in 2015, STC(Silicon Tetrachloride) leaked at a polysilicon manufacturing plant in Gunsan City. Leakage of chemicals in the polysilicon manufacturing process can affect not only the workplace but also the surrounding area. Therefore, in this study, we identified the hazardous materials used in the polysilicon manufacturing process and quantitatively estimate the amount of leakage and extent of damage when the worst case scenario is applied. As a result, the damage distance by explosion was estimated to be 726 m, and the damage distance to toxicity was estimated to be 4,500 m. And, if TCS(Trichlorosilane), STC(Silicon Tetrachloride), DCS(Dichlorosilane) leaks into the air and reacts with water to generate HCl, the damage distance is predicted to 5.7 km.
