In this study, the flood inundations of the Nam River catchment running through the Uiryeong and Haman regions have been simulated using the numerical model based on quadtree grids. The nonlinear Saint Venant equation is employed as the governing equation for a numerical model in this study. The governing equations are discretized explicitly with a finite difference leap-frog scheme on adaptive hierarchical quadtree grids. Results from this study are compared with those of established numerical models such as the HEC-RAS and the FLUMEN. A numerical model is also simulated according to the frequency variations of flood event. Obtained numerical results show good agreements with them of commercial models. It is found from this study that the flood inundations in the studied area can be occurred at a 500 year frequency event.

This paper presents the development and application of a riparian buffer zone design model(RBZDM). The model was developed as a decision-making tool for watershed management, by integrating geographic information system(GIS) and analytical hierarchy process(AHP) theory. Several factors for watershed management, such as pollution removal capacity, land aquisition cost, distribution of point and non-point pollution sources, and possibility of new pollution source location, were analyzed based on AHP theory. The vegetated buffer zone width was designed using GIS-based riparian buffer analysis. The developed model was applied to the Kyoungan Stream watershed, which is an important part of Paldang lake catchment area. The Kyoungan stream watershed was divided into sixteen subbasins. Six of them belong to the main stem, where the model was applied. Ten alternatives of buffer zone width and five hierarchial levels were designed. The relative importance and the relative preference were computed by pair-wise comparison of evaluation criteria given in hierarchial levels. The buffer zone width was determined by linear function of the given alternatives and relative preferences. From this study, it was determined that the six buffer zone widths of Kyoungan main stems would be 1,594, 1,744, 1,856, 1,782, 1,338, 1,780 meter, from upstream to downstream.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to describe and compare trends in suicidal ideation, suicidal attempt and suicide in Republic of Korea from 2006 to 2011. Such data are needed to guide policies to reduce suicidal behaviors. Methods : Data came from the 2006-2010 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, Korea National Statistical Office and 2006-2011 Korean Epidemiologic Catchment Area Study Replication and 2007-2011 National Emergency Department Information System. Results : No change occurred between 2006-2011 in suicidal ideation, suicidal attempt, whereas suicide rate increased annually. Suicidal attempt events was decreased in age over 50. Suicidal attempts by poisoning and hanging have increased, although suicide caused by poisoning of insecticide have decreased. Especially, suicides caused by hanging have gradually increased in both sex. Conclusions : These finding suggest that fatal suicidal methods may influence increased suicidal rate. Instead of traditional suicidal process, investigation of other pathway about suicidal behaviors should be needed.

A number of planning models that are used for preliminary design of detention ponds in urban area were compared with consideration of urbanization effects. The characteristics of hydrological parameters $\alpha$, $\gamma$ which are used in planning models wee analyzed. And a new planning model for detention ponds was suggested. The required storage volumes of the Sinjung I, Myunmock, and Hannam detention pond were calculated by the planning models with the catchment data. The applicability of planning models to estimate the required storage volume of detention pond was investigated. Mori and Rational model have the trend of overstimation of storage volumes of detention ponds, on the other hand Abt & Grigg and Kadoya model show the trend of understimated values, and the rest of the planning models show the reasonable volumes.

Hypotheses In health services research are becoming increasingly more complex and specific. As a result, health services research studies often include multiple independent, intervening, and dependent variables in a single hypothesis. Nevertheless, the statistical models adopted by health services researchers have failed to keep pace with the increasing complexity and specificity of hypotheses and research designs. This article introduces a statistical model well suited for complex and specific hypotheses tests in health services research studies. The covariance structure modeling(CSM) methodology is especially applied to regional relevance indices(RIs) to assess the impact of health resources and healthcare utilization. Data on secondary statistics and health insurance claims were collected by each catchment area. The model for RI was justified by direct and indirect effects of three latent variables measured by seven observed variables, using ten structural equations. The resulting structural model revealed significant direct effects of the structure of health resources but indirect effects of the quantity on RIs, and explained 82% of correlation matrix of measurement variables. Two variables, the number of beds and the portion of specialists among medical doctors, became to have significant effects on RIs by being analyzed using the CSM methodology, while they were insignificant in the regression model. Recommendations for the CSM methodology on health service research data are provided.

자연유역은 주어진 강우에 대해 다양한 형태의 유출반응을 나타내는데, 이는 순간반응함수(Instantaneous Response Function; IRF)로 표현될 수 있다. IRF는 유역의 DEM(Digital Elevation Model)으로부터 지표수 흐름방향을 추출한 뒤 지형분석을 통하여 구한 인자를 이용해 구하는 것이 일반적인 이론이다. 여기서 DEM의 모든 셀에 대해 흐름방향을 부여할 수 있지만, 모든 셀이 하천에 해당하지는 않는다. 따라서 최상류의 셀들은 사면으로, 하류의 셀은 하천으로 구분하여 IRF모의에 적용하게 된다. 사면과 하천은 지표수이송에 전혀 다른 경향을 보이므로 전체적인 유역의 유출반응에 큰 영향을 미친다. 예를 들어 사면과 하천에서의 유속 차이는 IRF의 왜도(skewness)에 주된 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있다 (Botter and Rinaldo, 2003). 하지만, DEM에서 사면과 하천을 정확하게 구분하는 것은 매우 어렵기 때문에 하천시점을 정의하는 데에는 불확실성이 내재되어 있으며, 이러한 점은 추정된 IRF의 불확실성으로 연결된다. 본 연구에서는 하천시점의 불확실성으로 인한 IRF의 불확실성을 정량화하고, 그것의 유의수준을 평가하고자 한다. 이를 위해 다양한 유원면적 기준에 대해 IRF를 계산하고, 그 결과를 심도 있게 고찰한다.

Nature-based solutions (NBS) offer a wide variety of techniques that promote cost-efficient stormwater management practices. In particular, low impact development facilities utilize NBS principles to restore the ecosystem services in a highly-urbanized area. Despite the advancements in these technologies, several considerations should still be addressed to ensure optimum functionality and attainment of desired pollutant removal efficiency a LID facility. This study evaluated the mass flushing characteristics of pollutants in an urban catchment and the efficiency of a small constructed wetland (SCW) in treating urban stormwater runoff. 21 rainfall events from 2010 to 2018 were monitored to determine and quantify stormwater pollutants. The highest pollutant washoff was observed on rainfall depths ranging from 0.1mm to 10mm, whereas events with greater rainfall depths exhibited lower pollutant concentrations due to dilution effect. However, the SCW manifested lower pollutant-removal performance on rainfall depths exceeding 10mm due to the exceedance of the facility's design rainfall. This study is beneficial in assessing the dynamics of pollutant washoff and efficiency of LID facilities subjected under various external factors.

In South Korea, the concept of water environment was expanded to include aquatic ecosystems with the Integrated Water Management implementation. Watershed-scale modeling is typically performed for hydrologic component analysis, however, there is a need to expand to include ecosystem variability such that the modeling corresponds to the social and political issues around the water environment. For this to be viable, the modeling must account for several distinct features in South Korean watersheds. The modeling must provide reasonable estimations for peak flow rate and apply to paddy areas as they represent 11% of land use area and greatly influence groundwater levels during irrigation. These facts indicate that the modeling time intervals should be sub-daily and the hydrologic model must have sufficient power to process surface flow, subsurface flow, and baseflow. Thus, the features required for watershed-scale modeling are suggested in this study by way of review of frequently used hydrologic models including: Agricultural Policy/Environmental eXtender(APEX), Catchment hydrologic cycle analysis tool(CAT), Hydrological Simulation Program-FORTRAN(HSPF), Spatio-Temporal River-basin Ecohydrology Analysis Model(STREAM), and Soil and Water Assessment Tool(SWAT).

집중호우는 전 세계적으로 큰 기후변화 문제 중 하나다. 극심한 집중호우의 빈도수는 지구 온난화로 인해 지난 세기 중반 이후부터 점차 증가하고 있으며 그로인한 인적 및 물적인 피해 또한 증가하고 있다. 이러한 손상을 방지하기 위해서는 적절한 설계 홍수량을 계산하는 것이 중요하다. 최근에는 미계측지역의 유출량 추정 시 분포형 강우-유출 모델을 이용한다. 분포형 모델의 가장 큰 장점은 소유역의 분할 과정을 거칠 필요 없이 유역에서 무작위 점의 유출을 시뮬레이션 할 수 있다는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 2000년 11월 니스에 발생했던 강우를 기반으로 Var 유역의 소유역이자 미계측 지역인 프랑스 니스의 Ubac Vallone의 유출량 및 유출계수를 지형 데이터 등의 물리적 인자와 분포형 강우-유출모델인 MIKE SHE를 이용하여 추정하였다. 또한, 입력되는 인자의 상대적 중요성을 파악하기 위해 민감도 분석을 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 각 인자에 대한 상대민감도 분석을 바탕으로, 유출량에 상대적으로 큰 영향을 미치는 인자를 제안하였다. 연구 결과, 50년, 100년 및 162년 빈도별 확률강우량에 따른 유출량을 추정하였으며, 162년의경우 총 유출량은 124,384.8m³, 최대 유출량 1.512m³/s, 유출계수 0.53으로 나타났다. 총 유출량과 첨두유량에 대한 상대 민감감도 분석 결과, 수리전도도가 1.5로 첨두유량과의 민감도가 높게 나타났으며, 대수층의 수평방향 수리전도도는 0.48로 총 유출량과의 민감도가 높게 나타났다
