  • The purpose of this paper is to introduce two integrated urban development projects in Japan that take full advantage of flood-control reservoirs: the Tetsugakudo Park Collective Housing Development Project and the Koshigaya Lake Town Project. The former project - implemented cooperatively by the Tokyo metropolitan government in charge of river management, Shinjuku and Nakano wards (in Tokyo) responsible for park management, and the Urban Renaissance Agency, a housing project developer - set a significant precedent for three-dimensional river use by realizing the three-dimensional integrated development of a flood control reservoir, a park, and collective housing. The Koshigaya Lake Town Project, launched as a drastic storm water management measure for a low-lying area often plagued by flooding, has achieved a sustainable coexistence between the waterfront environment and the urban living environment, with an artificial flood-control reservoir as the core for urban development. This project is fully committed to environmental coexistence through the optimal use of local environmental resources, with the cooperation of the central government, Saitama Prefecture and Koshigaya City.

  • Instream flow is necessary to manage the basic function of the rivers. The evaluation method of instream flow in a big river has been studied widely. However, the study in a urban hasn't researched. In theses days the environmental function of a river becomes very important. The evaluation method and secure of instream flow are basic conditions to perform it. Especially view of stream, recreation, protection of ecology are highly demanded In a urban according to the multipurpose of river spaces. In this paper the evaluation methods of instream flow were compared and investigated with many papers. This paper presents a proper evaluation procedure of instream flow in a urban stream through comparison and examination. According to the demanded hydraulic conditions the method can be considered the environmental function depend on the purpose of river restoration. The relationship of the coefficient of roughness and the slope of the river bed were examinated in order to estimate the minimum instream flow corresponding to proper Hydraulic conditions. Also calculate the instream flow of Sueng-gi stream in In-cheon.

  • The paper presents the development and applications of physically-based urban runoff analysis model, URAM, which is capable of simulating sewer runoff hydrographs and inundation conditions within a small urban catchment. The model considers three typical flow conditions of urban drainage networks, whichn are overland flow, gutter flow, and conduit flow during a storm. Infiltration, retention storage and flow routing procedures are physically depicted in model. It was tested satisfactorily with field data from a tested catchment having drainage area of 4.91 ha. It was also applied to other urban areas and found to adequately simulate inundation areas and duration as observed during storms. The test results as well as model components are described in the paper.

  • This study aims to understand abnormal climate caused by impacts of climate change and to suggest the direction of urban planning focusing on adaptation to climate change. The study consists of theory consideration and case study(Chicago, Philadelphia, Seattle). As a result, the main impacts of climate change faced by urban areas are heat wave, precipitation, and drought. To prevent these impacts, it is important to prepare methods of urban planning as followings: planning for land use, park and green considering the climate patterns, establishing and managing water resources systems similar to the nature, securing renewable energy resources, and transportation facilities and exterior space with proof against climate. It is especially necessary to introduce infrastructures related to storm water, green roof, shading tree planting, green space, and permeable pavement. Finally, in order to realize urban planning for adaptation to climate change, it is needed to make the detailed and specific goal and strategy for the climate change adaptation plan and to extend the scope from the goals to an action plan, a detailed plan, and a design guideline.

  • 도시침수는 사회 기반시설에 파괴적인 영향을 끼치고, 재산 및 인명 피해의 원인이 되므로, 고해상도 고정확도 예측 정보를 활용한 선제적 대응이 중요하다. 하지만, 기후변화로 인한 강수 강도의 증가, 도시의 확장 및 고밀화 등 토지피복 변화, 홍수방어시설의 노후화 등 여러 요인들의 복합적인 영향으로 인해 도시침수의 정확한 재현 및 예측은 여전히 난제로 남아 있다. 천수 방정식(Shallow Water Equations)을 기반으로 하는 물리과정 모형은 신뢰도 높은 예측 결과를 제공할 수 있지만, Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy 조건 등의 제약으로 인해 대규모 도시 지역의 고해상도 실시간 예측에는 적합하지 않은 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 상대적으로 간단한 연산 규칙의 중첩을 통해 복잡계 물리 시스템을 모의하는 셀룰러 오토마타(Cellular Automata; CA) 기술에 기반한 도시침수 해석 모형인 CA-Urban을 개발하고, 미국 Oregon 주 북서쪽에 위치한 Portland시의 도심지역에 대해 침수해석의 적용성을 평가한다. 세부적으로는, 기존 셀룰러 오토마타 기반 침수해석알고리즘의 수치 진동(Oscillation) 문제에 대한 원인을 분석하고, 안정성 향상 방법인 셀 간 최대유량 제한, 가중치 적용 기법, 모형의 계산 효율성 향상을 위한 최적 적응 시간 단계 기법(Adaptive time step)의 적용 결과를 소개한다. 또한, 침투 및 증발산 등 물순환 요소 해석 모듈의 개발 성과 및 방향에 대해서 토의한다.

  • The present study is aimed to correcting radar-based mean areal precipitation forecasts to improve urban flood predictions and uncertainty analysis of water levels contributed at each stage in the process. For this reason, a long short-term memory (LSTM) network is used to reproduce three-hour mean areal precipitation (MAP) forecasts from the quantitative precipitation forecasts (QPFs) of the McGill Algorithm for Precipitation nowcasting by Lagrangian Extrapolation (MAPLE). The Gangnam urban catchment located in Seoul, South Korea, was selected as a case study for the purpose. A database was established based on 24 heavy rainfall events, 22 grid points from the MAPLE system and the observed MAP values estimated from five ground rain gauges of KMA Automatic Weather System. The corrected MAP forecasts were input into the developed coupled 1D/2D model to predict water levels and relevant inundation areas. The results indicate the viability of the proposed framework for generating three-hour MAP forecasts and urban flooding predictions. For the analysis uncertainty contributions of the source related to the process, the Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) using delayed rejection and adaptive metropolis algorithm is applied. For this purpose, the uncertainty contributions of the stages such as QPE input, QPF MAP source LSTM-corrected source, and MAP input and the coupled model is discussed.
