To reduce the damage of extreme flooding caused by climate change and to create flood mitigation sections in a nature-friendly riparian area, it is necessary to restore the floodplain area by referring to the past floodplain section of the current inland waterfront area before the levee was built. This study proposed a method of selecting a location for floodplain restoration using old maps of the Geum River study section and analyzed the effect of flood level reduction through unsteady flow numerical simulations using the floodplain as a flood mitigation space. As a result of analyzing changes in the river areas using old maps, the river section was estimated to gradually reduce by 27.8% (1,059,380 m²) in 2020 compared to 1919, and it was found to have an effective storage capacity of 2,200,868 m³ when restored to offline storage. The flood level and discharge control effects analyzed based on HEC-RAS unsteady flow simulation were 16 cm and 219.01 m³/s, respectively, in the downstream cross-section. In the numerical simulation in this paper, the flood mitigation space was applied as an offline reservoir. The effect of reducing the flood level may differ if levee retreat/relocation is applied.

In recent times, the sharp increase in extreme flood damages due to climate change has posed a challenge to effectively address flood-related issues solely relying on conventional flood management infrastructure. In response to this problem, this study aims to consider the effectiveness of nature-based flood management approaches, specifically levee retreat and relocation. To achieve this, we utilized a 1D numerical model, HEC-RAS, to analyze the flood reduction effects concerning floodwater levels, flow velocities, and time-dependent responses to a 100-year frequency flood event. The analysis results revealed that the effect of creating a flood buffer zone of the nature-based solution extends from upstream to downstream, reducing flood water levels by up to 30 cm. The selection of the flow roughness coefficient in consideration of the nature-based flood buffer space creation characteristics should be based on precise criteria and scientific evidence because it is sensitive to the flood control effect analysis results. Notably, floodwater levels increased in some expanded floodplain sections, and the reduction in flow velocities varied depending on the ratio of the expanded cross-sectional area. In conclusion, levee retreat and floodplain expansion are viable nature-based alternatives for effective flood management. However, a comprehensive design approach is essential considering flood control effects, flow velocity reduction, and the timing of peak water levels. This study offers insights into addressing the challenges of climate-induced extreme flooding and advancing flood management strategies.

This study analyzed the effect of flood level reduction in the case of creating and operating offline storage for the Jangdong district, which can be used as a flood buffer space for the Geumgang River, through one-dimensional unsteady flow numerical simulation. In particular, the sensitivity analysis of changes in the height and width (length) of transverse weirs on flood level changes was performed to provide quantitative information necessary for flood control facility (embankment) design. As a result of analyzing the flood control effect of the offline storage based on the peak flood discharge and level, spatially, the flood control effect at the planned flood buffer space site and the downstream end was confirmed, and it was confirmed that the flood reduction effect at the downstream occurred the most. By design conditions of the transverse overflow weir, the greatest flood reduction effect was found under the condition that the overflow weir height based on the 50-year frequency flood level and the transverse overflow weir width (length) of 125 m were considered. The effect of delaying the time to reach the maximum flood due to the operation of the offline storage site was also presented based on unsteady flow modeling.

Flooding is an unavoidable natural disaster for the city. Flood disasters seriously undermine the city's economy, safety, and sustained development. In the course of development and construction of waterfront space in the same city, the construction of basic disaster prevention facilities cannot be avoided completely even if huge amounts of capital are invested to reduce the economic damage of flooding. The cost of rebuilding the city after the disaster is much higher than the cost of building disaster prevention facilities. In recent years, the theory of elasticity in urban reconstruction and so on has been a subject of city problem solving, creating widespread discussion and attention in academia. In other words, how to transform the concept of elasticity into practice based on theoretical and empirical factors is a real problem facing urban disaster. Through theoretical literature on the waterfront (space) buffer zone of a city (flood-weak area) and the case study of the city's practice, this paper tries to clarify the element of 5R, the theory of elastomeric fire prevention, and present detailed measures accordingly. In addition, the following two problems are addressed while emphasizing the feasibility of implementing the urban waterfront (space) plan of the elastomeric element around the urban water buffer zone. First, the means of disaster prevention planning are used to mitigate conflicts between individual utility of urban waterfront and disaster prevention functions in waterfront buffer zones, and second, the waterfront buffer zone can respond to flood-causing problems in terms of disaster prevention as much as possible through the elastic disaster prevention plan.

The magnitude and frequency of extreme floods are increasing owing to the effects of climate change. Therefore, multipurpose flood management techniques incorporating nature-based solutions have been introduced to mitigate the limitations of flood management and river design methods relying on existing observation data. Nature-based solutions to prepare for such extreme flooding events include ways to retreat the embankment, expand the floodplain, and reduce flood damage. To apply these technologies, adopting appropriate location selection methods based on various evaluation factors, such as flood damage reduction effects, sustainable ecological environments, river connectivity, and physical channel structure enhancements, should be prioritized. Therefore, in this study, the optimal location for implementing the multipurpose floodplain construction project was determined by selecting the location of the floodplain expansion with objectivity in the river waterfront area upstream of Daecheong Dam to downstream of Yongdam Dam. Through the final location determination, the Dongdaeje and Jeogokje sections were included in the optimal location considering both flood damage reduction and water environment improvement.

우리나라는 하상계수가 큰 하천의 특성 때문에 콘크리트 구조의 고정보를 설치하여 하천수위를 유지하고, 취수용으로 사용하여 왔다. 그러나 고정보는 유수방해, 토사퇴적으로 인한 홍수위 상승 등의 다양한 문제를 야기시키고 있다. 이에 따라 4대강에는 다양한 형상과 운영방식이 적용된 가동보가 설치되었으며, 소하천과 중규모 하천 역시 하천기능의 복원을 위한 정비사업이 진행되고 있다. 하천관리의 목표는 하천의 이수, 치수 및 생태환경 기능의 종합적이며, 유기적인 관계를 조화롭게 유지하면서 각 기능을 극대화시키는 것이다. 우선, 토사의 퇴적을 사전에 예방하고, 퇴적된 토사는 유수에 따라 배출될 수 있도록 하단방류 형식으로 개선되어야 한다. 또한 홍수기에는 통수가 원활하도록 보의 기능을 해제할 수 있어야 하는 한편, 하류구간이 범람하지 않도록 상류구간에서의 완충기능을 가져야 한다. 이러한 요구조건을 충족하기 위해서 다단형태의 하단방류형 가동보 수문 시스템을 고려할 수 있다. 다단형태의 하단방류형 가동보 수문시스템은 경사 하천에 가동보에 의해 물을 저수하고, 저수된 물을 보 상류에서 유입되는 유입수량 만큼만을 수문 하단 개도부를 통하여 방류하도록 하여, 일정량이 항상 저류되면서 퇴적토사가 배출되도록 하여 수질을 개선하는 방식이다. 본 연구에서는 금강의 지류인 치성천 9Km 구간을 대상으로 HEC-RAS 4.1 모형을 적용하여 하단방류형 가동보를 하류부터 상류구간까지 다단형태로 설치하였을 경우, 하천의 저류와 분배기능 회복에 따른 홍수위 저감 효과를 고정보 설치의 경우와 비교 분석하였다. 홍수소통 능력을 검토하기 위해서 연구대상 구간을 200년 빈도의 확률홍수량 별로 10개 구간으로 나누어 검토한 결과, 고정보 설치의 경우에는 여유고 기준을 초과하는 부분이 나타났으나, 다단식 하단방류형 가동보를 설치하고, 수문개도를 조작하여 운영할 경우에는 여유고 기준을 초과하는 부분이 없어, 홍수위 저감 효과를 기대할 수 있는 것으로 나타났을 뿐만 아니라, 홍수기이후에도 하천유지용수 기준을 만족하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 설치 및 유지관리의 비용측면과 용수확보 및 홍수피해 절감의 편익측면에서도 50년 운영주기의 비용편익성은 양호한 것으로 나타났으며, 생태환경보전과 친수공간 확보측면의 편익성을 추가로 고려할 경우, 경제성은 충분히 확보될 것으로 판단되었다.
