This study analyzed the relationship between the geomorphic factor and changes in forest types of the Chungnam coastal area using ASTER DEM and multi-temporal satellite imagery. The results showed that in case coniferous forests vary by altitudinal segments, reduction rate continuously increased up to 500m, but dropped upon exceeding 550 meters. Next, the variation rate of mixed forests by altitudinal segments decreased from less than 50m. However, the variation rate of mixed forests increased from more than 50m to 700m, but dropped upon exceeding 700m. Lastly, the variation rate of deciduous forests according to altitudinal segments increased at all altitudes. A sharp increase was found in segments of more than 550 meters. With regard to the changes in the distribution area of forest types according to slope aspects, coniferous forests showed a reduction in all slope aspects. The reduction rate was especially higher in northern, northwestern, western and northeastern aspects. Mixed forests manifested a high growth rate in northwestern, northern and western aspects, but slightly decreased in eastern and southeastern aspects. In addition, deciduous forests increased in all slope aspects, but the growth rate was especially high in eastern, southeastern, northeastern and southern aspects.

Watershed boundaries and flow paths within the watershed are the most important factors required in watershed analysis. Most often the derivation of watershed boundaries and stream network and flow paths is based on topographical maps but spatial variation of flow direction is not clearly understandable using this method. Water resources projects currently use 1: 50, 000-scale ground survey or aerial photography-based topographical maps to derive watershed boundary and stream network. In basins, where these maps are not available or not accessible it creates a real barrier to watershed geo-spatial analysis. Such situations require the use of global datasets, like GTOPO30. Global data sets like ETOPO5, GTOPO30 are the only data sets, which can be used to derive basin boundaries and stream network and other terrain variations like slope aspects and flow direction and flow accumulation of the watershed in the absence of topographic maps. Approximately 1-km grid-based GTOPO 30 data sets can derive better outputs for larger basins, but they fail in flat areas like the Karkheh basin in Iran and the Amudarya in Uzbekistan. A new window in geo-spatial hydrology has opened after the launching of the space-borne satellite stereo pair of the Terra ASTER sensor. ASTER data sets are available at very low cost for most areas of the world and global coverage is expected within the next four years. The DEM generated from ASTER data has a reasonably good accuracy, which can be used effectively for hydrology application, even in small basins. This paper demonstrates the use of stereo pairs in the generation of ASTER DEMs, the application of ASTER DEM for watershed boundary delineation, sub-watershed delineation and explores the possibility of understanding the drainage flow paths in irrigation command areas. All the ASTER derived products were compared with GTOPO and 1:50,000-based topographic map products and this comparison showed that ASTER stereo pairs can derive very good data sets for all the basins with good spatial variation, which are equal in quality to 1:50,000 scale maps-based products.

It was pointed out that the terrain distortion of SAR image is even worse than that of optical image although SAR imagery has the advantages of being independent of solar illumination and weather conditions. It is thus necessary to correct terrain distortion in SAR image for various application areas to integrate SAR and optical image information. There has to be a clear evaluation of terrain correction of high resolution SAR image according to the quality of DEM because the DEM of study site is generally used in the process of terrain correction. To achieve this issue, this paper compared the effects of quality of Digital Elevation Model(DEM) in the process of terrain correction of high resolution SAR images, using the DEM produced from 1:5000 topographic contour maps, LiDAR DEM, ASTER GDEM, SRTM DEM. We used TerraSAR-X and Cosmo-SkyMed, as the test data set, which are constructed on the same X-band SAR system as KOMPSAT-5. In order to evaluate quantitatively the correction results, we conducted comparative evaluation with the KOMPSAT-2 ortho image of the same region. The evaluation results showed that the DEM produced from 1:5000 topographic contour maps achieved successful results in the terrain correction of SAR image compared with the other DEM data, and the widely used SRTM DEM data in various applications was not suitable for the terrain correction of high resolution SAR images.

A feasibility modeling for potential hydroelectric dam site selection was suggested using 1 sec ASTGTM (ASTER Global Digital Elevation Model) and Terra/Aqua MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) derived land use (MCD12Q1) data. The modeling includes DEM pre-processing of peak, sink, and flat, river network generation, watershed delineation and segmentation, terrain analysis of stream cross section and reservoir storage, and estimation of submerged area for compensation. The modeling algorithms were developed using Python and as an open source GIS. When a user-defined stream point is selected, the model evaluates potential hydroelectric head, reservoir surface area and storage capacity curve, watershed time of concentration from DEM, and compensation area from land use data. The model was tested for 4 locations of already constructed Buhang, BohyunMountain, Sungdeok, and Yeongju dams. The modeling results obtained maximum possible heads of 37.0, 67.0, 73.0, 42.0 m, surface areas of 1.81, 2.4, 2.8, 8.8 ㎢, storages of 35.9, 68.0, 91.3, 168.3×10⁶ ㎥ respectively. BohyunMountain and Sungdeok show validity but in case of Buhang and Yeongju dams have maximum head errors. These errors came from the stream generation error due to ASTGTM. So, wrong dam watershed boundary limit the head. This study showed a possibility to estimate potential hydroelectric dam sites before field investigation especially for overseas project.

홍수 및 침수 등의 재해로부터 사전예방 및 신속한 대응을 위한 기초자료로서 홍수위험지도 및 재해지도는 반드시 필요하고, 이러한 위험지도 제작에 있어 가장 핵심적인 내용은 시나리오별 홍수범람해석이다. 현재 우리나라는 국가하천 규모 및 지방하천 중 침수피해가 큰 구간에 대해 제한적 범위내에 2차원 해석을 적용하여 위험지도 제작을 하고 있지만 지방하천 및 소하천의 경우 각종 기본계획 및 종합계획에서 일부 1차원 수리 해석 후 GIS와 연계를 통해 홍수범람해석이 이루어지거나 대부분 수치지도의 등고선과 홍수위를 이용하여 수작업으로 범람구역을 표기하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 홍수범람해석시 수작업의 동반으로 인한 가장 많은 시간과 인력적 비용이 요구되고 GIS의 고급기능 등을 반드시 숙지해야하므로 인해 범람해석의 걸림돌이었던 하천지형 구축부분에 대해 기존의 방법인 1:5,000 수치지형도부터 DEM 생성 및 적용과 WMS를 통해 전 세계 수치지형을 신속하고 편리하면서 무료로 제공받을 수 있는 ASTE과, SRTM DEM을 각각 적용하여 각각의 하천지형을 구축하여 HEC-RAS 및 HEC-GeoRAS를 이용하여 수리해석 및 범람해석을 수행하였으며 그 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 WMS에서 제공되는 Online DEM을 적용하여 신속하고 편리하게 하천지형을 구축함으로서 시간 및 인력적 비용을 절감하고 비교적 적절한 홍수범람해석 결과를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

GIS-based spatial data integration tasks have used exhaustive thematic maps generated from sparsely sampled data or satellite-based exhaustive data. Due to a simplification of reality and error in mapping procedures, such spatial data are usually imperfect and of different accuracy. The objective of this study is to carry out a sensitivity analysis in connection with input topographic data for landslide hazard mapping. Two different types of elevation estimates, elevation spot heights and a DEM from ASTER stereo images are considered. The geostatistical framework of kriging is applied for generating more reliable elevation estimates from both sparse elevation spot heights and exhaustive ASTER-based elevation values. The effects of different accuracy arising from different terrain-related maps on the prediction performance of landslide hazard are illustrated from a case study of Boeun, Korea.

최근 기후변화의 영향으로 극심한 가뭄과 홍수가 발생하고 기온 또한 꾸준히 상승하고 있으며, 이러한 변화에 대응하기 위해 전 세계에서 이산화탄소를 줄이고 국제 에너지 시장을 재구성하려는 시도가 꾸준히 이루어지고 있다. World Energy Outlook(2012)에 따르면 특히 에너지 시장에서 개발도상국의 수력분야 개발투자가 2035년까지 15,490억 달러에 이를 것으로 전망됨에 따라 국내에서 해외 수력발전사업에 적극적으로 나서고 있다. 그러나 국내와는 달리 댐 건설의 사전조사에 필요한 자료가 없거나 구축하는데 문제가 있어 손쉽게 구할 수 있는 자료로 사전에 수력발전 댐 적지를 조사할 수 있는 기술의 개발이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 수력발전용 댐 위치 결정을 위한 예비 적지 분석 알고리즘을 개발하고, 분석 알고리즘에 위성영상자료인 30m 해상도의 ASTGTM(ASTER Global Digital Elevation Model)와 500m 해상도의 MCD12Q1(MODIS/Terra Aqua Land Cover) 토지피복자료를 사용하고자 한다. 예비 적지 분석 알고리즘은 DEM의 전처리, 하천망생성, 유역분할과 지형정보를 고려한 자동적지탐색과 댐 건설시 수몰면적에 따른 보상면적 산정 알고리즘을 포함하고 있으며 Python기반의 오픈소스 GIS로 구현되었다. 적지산정은 DEM으로부터 낙차, 도달시간, 내용적곡선과 같은 지형정보와 토지피복도를 통한 보상면적을 기반으로 순위를 매겨 사용자에게 최적의 위치들을 표출한다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 해외 수력 댐 적지 예비분석 및 해외 수력산업 진출을 지원할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

홍수해석을 위해서는 DEM, 토지피복도, 토양도 등을 이용해서 대상 유역의 수문지형학적 매개변수를 도출해야 한다. 이때 북한과 같은 비접근 지역이나, 지상 관측에 의한 자료가 부족한 해외 지역에 대한 유출해석을 위해서는 대상 지역에 대한 상세한 자료를 얻기 어려우므로, 위성영상이나 전지구 데이터베이스 등과 같은 글로벌 자료를 이용하는 것이 대안이 될 수 있다. 글로벌 지형공간 자료로는 ASTER GDEM과 같은 DEM, Global Map과 같은 토지피복도, HWSD(Harmonized World Soil Database)와 같은 토양도를 이용할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이 중 HWSD의 적용성을 평가하였다. HWSD는 UN FAO(Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations)의 토지이용변경 프로그램에 따른 지도와 지역 및 국가 토양데이터베이스를 조합해서 만들어 졌으며, 30 arc-second(약 1km)의 해상도를 가진다. 유출해석은 물리적 분포형 모형인 GRM(Grid based Rainfall-runoff Model)을 이용하였으며, 낙동강 수계의 향석 수위관측소 유역을 대상으로 2008년과 2009년에 발생한 2개의 수문사상을 이용하여 연구를 진행하였다. 토양도를 제외한 자료(DEM, 토지피복도 등)는 모두 국내에서 구축된 자료를 이용하였다. 우리나라의 정밀토양도를 이용해서 보정된 모형(매개변수)에 HWSD 자료를 적용한 유출해석 결과, 두 사상에서 모두 유량이 크게 모의되었다. 이는 HWSD에서는 유역 전체가 양토(수리전도도 0.34cm/h)로 정밀토양도(향석 유역 평균 수리전도도 1.07cm/h)에 비해 약 1/3의 수리전도도 값을 가지고, 정밀토양도를 적용한 경우의 평균 토양심은 70cm이지만 HWSD에서는 37cm로 상대적으로 작기 때문에 토양 침투량은 작아지고, 유출량이 크게 계산되는 것으로 판단된다. HWSD를 이용한 모형 보정에서는 토양 수리전도도와 토양심 매개변수를 중심으로 보정하였으며, 그 결과 관측 유량을 잘 재현할 수 있었다. 위성영상을 이용해서 구축되는 토지피복도와는 달리, 토양정보는 원시 자료가 구축된 지역에 따라서 구축방법, 정확도 등에서 크게 차이가 날 수 있다. 그러므로 글로벌 자료를 이용한 유출해석에서는 토양 자료의 적용 및 이와 관련된 매개변수의 주의가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

A crop management system was developed using Visual Basic and ArcGIS VBA. The system is operated on ArcGlS 8.3 with Microsoft Access MOB. Landsat +ETM, KOMPSAT-l EOC, ASTER VNIR and IKONOS panchromatic (pan) and multi-spectral (MIS) images were included in the system to understand what kind of agriculture-related information can be extracted for each images. Agriculture related data inventories using crop cover information such as texture and average pixel value of the crop based on cultivation calendar were designed ,and implemented. Three IKONOS images (May 25,2001, December 25,2001, October 23,2003) were loaded in the system to show crop cover characteristics such as rice, pear, grape, red pepper, garlic, and surface water cover of reservoir with field surveys. GIS layers such as DEM (Digital Elevation Model), stream, road, soil, land use and administration boundary were also supplied and can be overlaid with images to enhance the understanding the general agricultural characteristics and identifying the location easily.

KOMPSAT-2 was successively launched on July 28,06. She carries Fine Spatial Resolution Sensor with three channels. It is 4m monochromatic and 1m panchromatic. The main purposes would derive fine urban map and digital elevation model(DEM).Therefore we extend to coastal environment monitoring using the adjacent effect of radiation due to an interaction of radiation between heterogeneous surface and atmosphere. With data analysis of ASTER on TERA, which is 15m resolution in visible and near infrared wavelengths, we found atmospheric aerosols were always large. Note that data analysis was limited in Nagoya bay, Lake Tahoe, California & La Pozuelos, La Picasa, Argentina. Thus this time we expect data analyses around isolated island and peninsula in west and south coast of Korea.
