Flood disasters on the metropolis where population and facilities were densely concentrated cause an enormous damage, therefore it is important to find risk and vulnerable area for floods, and then mid-long term disaster reduction plan should be established by the results. However, there is no rational method which reflects urban characteristics to estimate the regional safety for flood. so it is necessary to develop the standardized method of regional safety assesment due to urban flood. The proposed regional safety assesment model in this study was combined risk and mitigation score which consisted of three and two element, and 12 assesment factors which effect flood disasters were selected. And then the integrated regional safety was estimated by subtracting mitigation score from risk score. GIS tool was used to estimate the factor assesment and integrated regional safety. Developed regional safety assesment model was applied in Seoul to evaluate the suitability.

A virtual flood scenario has been constructed to investigate the overflowing process in the flooding area. The topography is constructed using the airborne LIDAR data. In addition, the frequency and scale of the flooding and the destruction condition of the flooding defensive structure are used as input to the scenarios. Through the scenario, the inundation depth with respect to time and maximum depth has been analyzed. This analysis shows the water level variation with time which show the flooding process. Moreover, a flooding map is drawn using the results from the scenario, distribution of the defensive structure, vulnerable area, and expected destruction points in the study area. It is expected that this study can be effectively used to examine the flooding process and flood disaster management. Furthermore, it could provide important basic information for the land development and the city planning of a possible flooding area.

강우레이더는 넓은 공간에서의 조밀한 정보를 제공하여 돌발홍수 정보 제공에 많은 장점을 보유하고 있다. 이에 한국건설기술연구원은 강우레이더의 장점을 활용하여 행정동(읍면동) 단위로 3시간 전 3단계 돌발홍수 예측 정보(주의/경계/심각)를 제공하는 돌발홍수예측 시스템을 구축하였다. 행정동 단위의 돌발홍수 예측 정보가 제공됨으로써 기존 국가 하천 중심의 홍수 예보 시스템에서 제공되지 못했던 홍수예보 취약지역에서의 홍수 예보가 가능해졌다. 하지만 돌발홍수예측 시스템에서 제공되고 있는 돌발홍수 예측 정보의 신뢰성을 높이기 위해서는 제공되고 있는 정보의 정확도가 확보 되어야 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 돌발홍수 예측 정보의 실증을 위해 낙동강홍수통제소 유역 내에서의 홍수예보 취약지역 지점을 선정하였다. 취약지역은 도심지, 산지·소하천, 해안지역으로 구분하여 선정되었다. 또한 돌발홍수예측 시스템 내에서의 돌발홍수위험 기준은 전국 피해사례에 대한 통계적으로 추정한 값으로, 실제 홍수취약 지역에서의 위험 기준과 다소 차이가 나타날 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 선정된 시범 지역에서의 돌발홍수 위험 기준을 추정하기 위해 시범 지역에서 발생한 강우 특성을 분석하였다.

This study aims to propose the methods for urban flood risk maps which are useful in strengthening urban planning toward disaster prevention by climate change. Selecting the Gwangju city, Gyeonggi-do as study area, it analyzes urban flood at a RCP 8.5 scenario, and develops gridded information regarding risk components such as hazard, exposure, and vulnerability. It turns out that flooding would occur at a bend interval of the Mokhyun stream and also at the joint of the Gyungan and the Mokhyun streams, showing the similarity with the inundation trace map. In particular, the Songjeong dong is analyzed to be seriously exposed and to be highly vulnerable to flood inundation. With all results together, this study concludes that the proposed methods could be used as a basis for strengthening urban planning toward flood disaster prevention system.

A drought-flood abrupt alternation event is an overlapping extreme event that is harder to cope with than a single event of drought and flood. It is also expected to have a significant adverse impact on ecosystems as well as industries and agriculture. However, there has not yet been a comprehensive study that characterizes the drought-flood abrupt alternation events in Korea. Therefore, this study employed a standard weighted average precipitation (SWAP) index, which is efficient to analyze not only individual events of drought and flood but also the drought-flood abrupt alternation events considering various time scales. The SWAP standardized the weighted average precipitation (WAP) by adding temporal weights to the precipitation. The SWAP indices were calculated for middle-sized watersheds of the Han River basin using the area average precipitation during 1966 and 2018. The severity K was calculated to represent the relative regional severity considering normal rainfalls, and used to characterize the drought-flood abrupt alternation in the study areas. The results indicated that 20 of the 30 middle-sized watersheds in the Han River basin were confirmed to increase the severity of drought-flood abrupt alternation over time. Considering the frequency and severity of drought-flood abrupt alternation events in each watershed, vulnerable areas and dangerous areas due to drought-flood abrupt alternation were identified, for example, the Upstream Namhan River (#1001).

홍수피해가 빈발하는 도시 및 소규모 산지 유역에서와 같이 지체시간이 짧은 유역에서 국지적으로 발생하는 돌발홍수는 우량계와 기존 하천유역 예보시스템만으론 예보가 불가능하다. 동일한 강우에서도 지역에 따라 침수시간이나 침수심이 달라지기 때문에 정확한 돌발홍수예보를 위해서는 지역에 따른 침수특성과 유속특성을 달리 고려해야 한다. '골든타임 확보를 위한 유역 시공간 상세 홍수예보기술 개발(환경부)'에서 개발한 '국지 돌발홍수예측 시스템'은 지역별 검증된 침수특성과 유속특성의 관계식을 산정하여 돌발홍수예보 기준을 설정하였다. 그리고 도달시간이 짧은 도시 및 산지에서 홍수예보 선행시간을 확보하기 위해 강우레이더 기반 돌발홍수 예측 시스템을 구축하여 시범 운영 중이다. 그러나 도시·산지 중소하천유역 등 홍수예보 취약지역에 대한 돌발홍수예보 정확도를 제고하기 위해서는 기 설정된 돌발홍수위험 예보 기준을 정밀하게 평가·검증·개선 할 수 있는 실증 체계가 반드시 필요하다. 이러한 배경에서 본 연구에서는 2021년부터 3개년 동안 홍수예보 취약지역에 강우레이더와 경제적 IoT 관측센서 정보를 기반으로 돌발홍수예보 실증기술을 개발하여 전국 돌발홍수예보 실용화 기반 구축하고자 한다. 홍수피해 취약지역인 도심지, 산지·계곡, 해안지역에 실증 테스트베드를 선정하고 강우레이더-IoT 실증 관측망을 구축하여 돌발홍수예보 기술 실증과 돌발홍수 위험기준 설정 가이드라인을 마련하고자 한다. 더불어 도시 중소하천유역 홍수예보 활용을 위한 소형강우레이더 강우량 정확도 개선 기술 개발과 홍수기 강우레이더 기반 홍수예보 관-연 협업 시범 운영을 추진할 계획이며, 최종적으로는 강우레이더와 IoT 정보 기반 돌발홍수 실증 시스템을 구축 운영하고자 한다.

The comprehension of water-level behavior in rivers is essential for effective flood and river environmental management. The objective of this study is to propose a methodology that can be used by field engineers engaged in actual practice, to readily identify the characteristics of water-level behavior during flood events. To this end, a total of 45 historical water-level records from 2010 to 2022 year, which provide flood information for the flood vulnerable districts of the Han River, were obtained. A Water-level Rise Behavior Curve (WRBC) was developed and suggested to quantify the amount of water-level rise per unit time during flood. As a result, the water-level rises by more than 80% of the total rise within the first 6.2 hours, followed by a gradual rise. The time required to achieve a particular equilibrium varied depending on the area and runoff characteristics of the upstream. Furthermore, the study revealed that the WRBC provides a statistical representation of the water-level rise trend during floods, and can be effectively utilized for flood mitigation measures in waterfront spaces and irrigation facilities.

Extreme events of rainfall has increased mainly from climate change, resulting in more severe floods intensified by land use development. Appropriate estimation of design floods gets more attention to ensuring the safety of life and property in flood-prone areas for hydraulic structures such as dams and levees. In the current study, we reestimated the design flood of the Nam River Dam to adopt the influence of climatic change of hydrometeorological variables including recent datasets of extreme rainfall events. The climate change scenarios of extreme rainfall events in hourly scale that has been downscaled was used in analyzing the annual maximum rainfall for the weather stations in the Nam River Dam basin. The estimates of 200-year and 10,000-year return periods were calculated to provide a design flood and a probable maximum flood case for the Nam River Dam. The results present that the new estimate employing the RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 downscaled data is much higher than the original design flood estimated at the dam construction stage using a 200-year return period. We can conclude that the current dam area might be highly vulnerable and need an enhancement of the dam safety regarding the reduction of damage in Sachen bay from the outflow of Nam River Dam.

This study was conducted to analyse climate change impact on agriculture infrastructure and propose improved measures on vulnerable areas. Recently, Climate change has resulted in damaging effects on agricultural fields through increases in drought intensity and flood risk. It is expected that this impact will increase over time. This study shows that Gyeong-gi and Chung-nam provinces are affected by drought and Gyeong-buk and Gyeong-nam provinces are affected by heavy rain. However, there are also regional variations within each province. Agricultural infrastructure affected by drought may also be affected by heavy rain. Increased damages on the infrastructure due to increased extreme weather events require preventive measures especially in vulnerable areas. In order to minimize the damage by climate change, we need to introduce a reform in the system which selects project region by analysing climate change impacts. Furthermore, impact assessment of climate change from projects such as 'water supply diversification', 'flooded farmland improvement', and 'irrigation facility reinforcement' also need to be adopted to improve the measures. The results of this study are expected to provide a foundation for establishing measures on coping with climate change in the agricultural sector.

This research proposes the direction for the assessment of local government infrastructure vulnerabilities relating to climate change driven flood and analyzes the assessment result. In this research, the local government infrastructures are evaluated by three indices such as exposure, infrastructure sensitivity, adaptive capacity and each index is calculated by selected alternative variable. Climate change scenario(A1B) developed on National Institute of Environmental Research is used to calculate present and future(2020, 2050, 2100s) exposure. As the result of infrastructure vulnerability assessment on present, the infrastructures in Seoul, Northern Gyeonggi-do, Gangwon-do, coastal area of Gyeongsangnam-do are vulnerable to flooding. For future, although the spatial pattern of flooding vulnerable infrastructure are similar, the flooding vulnerabilities of infrastructure in Gyeonggido and Ganwon-do would be increased as close to 2100s. It is expected that this research can be utilized as the preliminary analysis for climate change adaptation in local government infrastructure because this research propose the method for the assessment of local government infrastructure vulnerability relating to climate change driven flood and the result such as a trend of infrastructure vulnerability to flooding and the level of contribution of each index and alternative variable.
