Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) is to estimate potential soil loss and has benefit in use with its simplicity. The equation is composed of five factors, one of the factors is the slope length and steepness factor (LS factor) that is for topographic property of fields to estimate potential soil loss. Since the USLE was developed, many equations to compute LS was suggested with field measurement. Nowadays the factor is often computed in GIS software with digital elevation model, however it was reported that the factor is very sensitive to the resolution of digital elevation model. In addition, the digital elevation model of high resolution less than 3 meter is required in small field application, however these inputs are not associate with the empirical models' backgrounds since the empirical models were derived in 22.1 meter field measurements. In the study, four equation to compute LS factor and two approaches to determine slope length and steepness were examined, and correction factor was suggested to provide reasonable precision in LS estimations. The correction factor is computed with field area and cell size of digital elevation model, thus the correction factor can be adapted in any USLE-based models using LS factor at field level.

This study the change of the safety factor before and after the reinforcement were compared by performing the parameter research based on the limit equilibrium analysis regarding the same cross section after carrying out the safety factor before the reinforcement on the virtual section in order to observe the change of the safety factor of the slop reinforced with the slope planting reinforced earth, and the variation of the safety factor according to the increase of the length of the reinforcement materials and the change of the slope height was analyzed. As the result, the reinforcement effect was insignificant at no more than 0.6 of L/H, the reinforcement length ratio when the reinforcement length was increased, as the increase of the safety factor was slow comparing with the non-reinforced slope. At 3.0m of the slope height, reinforcement on the slope is not necessary, and at 3.0m to 5.0m of the slope height, the inclination was not influencing at no less than 0.6 of L/H. At 5.0m to 9.0m of the slope height, the safety factor was mostly secured on the slope at 0.8 of L/H and the over-reinforced slope appeared at no less than 1.0 of L/H. Also, the safety factor increased as the slope height increases and the slope gets steeper till 0.8 of L/H, but the slope steepness affects more on the increase of the safety factor than the reinforcement material, as the reinforcing force by the reinforcement material became steady.

본 연구에서는 토양침식성 인자, 사면경사길이 인자, 피복관리 인자 등 RUSLE 모형의 각종 인자들의 산정방법의 특성을 검토하고 산정방법간의 오차를 분석하고자 하였다. 또한, 42개의 강우사상에 대해 RUSLE모형을 강원 토사유출 시험유역에 적용하여 토사유출량을 산정하고 그 결과를 관측 토사유출량과 비교함으로써 모형의 적용성을 검토하였다. RUSLE모형의 각종 인자들에 대한 분석결과 피복관리 인자가 가장 민감한 것으로 나타났으며, 산지유역에 RUSLE를 적용하는 경우 식생의 영향을 반드시 고려할 필요가 있다. 또한 국립농업과학원 토양정보시스템의 토양통 자료를 이용하는 경우 현장토양 특성을 반영하지 못해 큰 오차가 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 강우에너지 산정방법에 따라서는 최대 22.7%의 오차가 발생하는 것으로 나타났으며, 향후 보다 많은 자료를 이용하여 각 인자들을 검증할 필요가 있다.

Conentionally, LS factor for the USLE suggested by Wischmeier has been computed manually on topographic maps based on one dimensional approach. But outcomes of the equation could be severely affected by the convergence and divergence of surface runoff at complex terrains. Thus the objective of this research are to develop a method to automatically compute LS factor based on the multiple flow algorithm, and to test the accuracy of this method by comparing outcomes of this method to previous measurements or estimations of soil erosion. The program for the automatic calculation of LS factor was developed by utilizing Fox Pro 4.5, and outcomes of the program is designed to input to IDRISI. The accuracy test of LS factor was carried out by comparing the actual measurements of soil loss at two test sites in and around of Suwon. The calculated volume of soil erosion at Buju mountain, Mokpo, was also compared to the outcome of a previous research based on the LS factor calculated by the conventional onedimensional approach. The outcomes of this research are as follows. First, the computed L based on the multiple flow algorithm for concae slopes are greater than those of convex slopes,. Second, the estimated soil loss based on this method at the test site in Mokpo is much greater than the outcomes based on the conventional one-dimensional approach. It can e concluded that the application of this automatic calculation method of LS factor can improve the accuracy of USLE and facilitate soil erosion prevention methods.

강우나 물의 유출에 의한 토양침식은 농업 생산성을 떨어뜨리고 목초지를 손상시키며, 물의 흐름을 방해하는 등의 각종 환경적인 문제를 야기시키고 있다. 환경에 대한 관심이 고조되는 시점에서 토양침식이 매우 중요한 위치를 차지하고 있지만 아직은 체계적인 자료의 정리와 분석이 이루어지지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구는 최근 부각되고 있는 GSIS를 활용하여 토양침식을 예측하는 모형에 입력되는 인자를 추출하는 기법을 제시하는 것으로 침식모형에는 ANSWER, WEPP RUSLE 등 여러 가지가 있으나 본 연구에서는 GSIS 자료와의 연계가 용이하면서 유역에 대한 일반적인 토양침식을 예측할 수 있는 RUSLE 침식모형을 사용하였다. RUSLE 입력인자에는 강우침식인자 R, 토양침식인자 K, 침식사면의 길이인자 L, 침식사면의 경사인자 S, 식생피복인자 C 그리고 경작인자 P로 구성되어 있다. RUSLE 입력인자 중 L과 S인자 추출에 사용되었던 기존의 식은 대부분 농업지역에 적용된 식으로 유역에 적용시 한계가 있기 때문에 본 연구에서는 GSIS 자료를 통해 격자별로 유역에 적용 가능한 수정된 경험식을 활용하였다. 또한 격자형 RUSLE인자를 유역추출 알고리즘을 이용하여 유역별로 분석함으로서 유역별 RUSLE인자의 최소값, 최대값, 평균 그리고 표준편차를 계산할 수 있었다.

The conservation of the raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides) in South Korea requires the protection and preservation of natural habitats while additionally ensuring coexistence with human activities. Applying habitat map modeling techniques provides information regarding the distributional patterns of raccoon dogs and assists in the development of future conservation strategies. The purpose of this study is to generate potential habitat distribution maps for the raccoon dog in South Korea using geospatial technology-based models. These models include the frequency ratio (FR) as a bivariate statistical approach, the group method of data handling (GMDH) as a machine learning algorithm, and convolutional neural network (CNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM) as deep learning algorithms. Moreover, the imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) is used to fine-tune the hyperparameters of the machine learning and deep learning models. Moreover, there are 14 habitat characteristics used for developing the models: elevation, slope, valley depth, topographic wetness index, terrain roughness index, slope height, surface area, slope length and steepness factor (LS factor), normalized difference vegetation index, normalized difference water index, distance to drainage, distance to roads, drainage density, and morphometric features. The accuracy of prediction is evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. The results indicate comparable performances of all models. However, the CNN demonstrates superior capacity for prediction, achieving accuracies of 76.3% and 75.7% for the training and validation processes, respectively. The maps of potential habitat distribution are generated for five different levels of potentiality: very low, low, moderate, high, and very high.

본 연구에서는 개정범용토양유실공식(RUSLE: Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation)을 이용하여 미국 South Carolina 주 Congaree 유역에 대한 평균 연간 토양 유실량을 산출 하였으며 비점오염원 토양 유실 민감지역을 추출하였다. 평균 연간 토양 유실량은 강우-유출 침식성 인자, 토양침식성 인자, 지면특성 인자, 식생피복 인자, 그리고 토양보존 인자의 곱으로 계산할 수 있으며, 토양 유실 민감지역은 토양 유실량이 토양침식 허용량을 초과하는 지역으로 추출할 수 있다. 연구 결과, 전체 면적의 10% 이상의 면적이 비점오염원 토양 유실 민감 지역으로 확인되었으며, Congaree 유역의 7개 소유역중 Congaree Creek, Gills Creek 소유역의 도심지역과 Cedar Creek 소유역의 농업지역에서 가장 심각한 토양 유실의 위험이 나타났다. 관심 지역의 인위적, 자연적 변화가 토양 유실에 가져오는 영향을 살펴보기 위한 시범 모형으로서, 개정범용토양유실공식에 기초한 내장형 모형이 Visual Basic for Applications (VBA)를 이용하여 ESRI사의 ArcGIS ArcMap 9.0에서 사용할 수 있도록 개발되었다. 이 내장형 모형에서 사용자는 각 소유역의 토지 피복, 식생 유형, 지표 식생 유형, 경사, 작물 유형, 경작 방식 등을 변경시킴으로써 C, LS, P 인자를 변화시킬 수 있으며, 계산된 평균 연간 토양 유실량과 민감 지역을 현재 상태의 값들과 비교하여 앞으로의 토양유실 관리를 위한 주요 정보로 사용할 수 있다.
