  • A forest fire occurs mainly as natural factor such as wind, temperature or human factor such as light. Recently, the most of forest fire prevention is prediction or prevision against forest fire by using remote sensing technology. However in order to forest fire prevention, the remote sensing has many limitations such as high cost and advanced technologies and so on. Therefore, we need to multisensor integration system that utilize not only remote sensing but also in-situ sensing in order to reduce large damage of forest fire though analysis of happen cause and prediction routing of occurred forest fire. In this paper we propose a multisensor integration system that offers prediction information of factors and route of forest fire by integrates collected data from remote sensor and in-situ sensor for forest fire prevention. The proposed system is based on wireless sensor network for collect observed data from various sensors. The proposed system not only offers great quality information because firstly, raw data level fuse different format of collected data from remote and in-situ sensor but also accomplish information level fusion based on result of first stage. Offered information from our system can help early prevention of factor and early prevision against occurred forest fire which transfer to SMS service or alert service into monitoring interface of administrator.

  • In this study, a GIS model to simulate the behavior of surface forest fires was developed on the basis of forest fire growth prediction algorithm. This model consists of three modules for data-handling, simulation and report writing. The data-handling module was designed to interpret such forest fire environment factors as terrain, fuel and weather and provide sets of data required in analyzing fire behavior. The simulation module simulates the fire and determines spread velocity, fire intensity and burnt area over time associated with terrain slope, wind, effective humidity and such fuel condition factors as fuel depth, fuel loading and moisture content for fire extinction. The module is equipped with the functions to infer the fuel condition factors from the information extracted from digital vegetation map sand the fuel moisture from the weather conditions including effective humidity, maximum temperature, precipitation and hourly irradiation. The report writer has the function to provide results of a series of analyses for fire prediction. A performance test of the model with the 2002 Chungyang forest fire showed the predictive accuracy of 61% in spread rate.

  • To control forest fire effectively, it is necessary to understand forest fire behavior and relevance to forest fire environmental factors. In this paper, the behavior characteristics of the 2005 Yangyang forest fire were analyzed into the spread patterns and severity grades. The spread processes of the forest fire could be divided into two steps. At the first step, the fire ran fast to the east due to the strong west wind and then spreaded out in irregular direction. The maximum spread rate of the fire was 1.21km/hr and the mean was 0.65 km/hr. The result of the fire severity classification indicated that about $80\%$(1,110ha) of the whole study site was extremely burned and the remaining $15\%(211 ha)\;and\;5\%(61 ha)$ were damaged slightly and moderately respectively.

  • A forest fire was one of the huge disasters and damaged human lifes and a properties. Therefore, many countries operated forest fire forecasting systems which developed from forest fire records, weather data, fuel models and etc. And many countries also estimated future state of forest fire using a long-term climate forecasting like GCMs and prepared resources for future huge disasters. In this study, we analyzed relationships between forest fire occurrence and meteorological factors (the minimum temperature ($^{\circ}C$), the relative humidity (%), the precipitation (mm), the duration of sunshine (hour) and etc.) for developing a estimating tools, which could forecast forest fire regime under future climate change condition. Results showed that forest fires in this area were mainly occurred when the maximum temperature was $10{\sim}200^{\circ}C$, when the relative humidity was 40~60%, and when the average wind speed was under 2m/s. And forest fires mainly occurred at 2~3 day after rainfall.

  • Using the high expansion foam generator of ISO 7203-2 which spray 6 liter at 5 bar, foam generation characteristics was studied. Wind flow rate, foam screen, concentration of foam agent solution and concentration of salt of water were varied to find the effect of the parameters on foam generation. Research result showed that expansion ratio of foam was increased with wind flow rate. The expansion ratio of foam in the perforated type standard screen was higher than the wire mesh screen. Expansion ratio and drainage time were increased with increase of foam solution concentration. But a increase of salt concentration in solution showed the decrease of expansion ratio and drainage time.

  • This thesis aims to provide an analytical basis for existing or new prescriptions based on the theory for properties and tastes of Korean oriental herbal medicines. To this end, prescriptions presented in 「the Various Changes in the Dominations of the Six Energies and their Relations with the Diseases」 of 『Plain Questions』 were analyzed based on the theory for properties and tastes of Korean oriental herbal medicines in 『Yellow Emperor's Canon Internal Medicine』. This thesis focused on symptoms and prescriptions based on the theory for properties and tastes of Korean oriental herbal medicines, which were described in 「the Various Changes in the Dominations of the Six Energies and their Relations with the Diseases」 of 『Plain Questions』 with regard to the year when Kweoleum is affecting the earth energy and the wind energy is partially over-abundant. Those symptoms and prescriptions originate from the theory of the five elements and six climates. The symptoms were analyzed from the perspective of physiology. The prescriptions were first analyzed based on the theory for properties and tastes of Korean oriental herbal medicines in 『Yellow Emperor's Canon Internal Medicine』. Then, a mix formula of oriental medicines pursuant to those prescriptions was studied. Lastly, proper prescriptions from 『Treatise of Cold-Induced Diseases』, which were in conformity with the above prescriptions, were selected. From the physiological point of view, symptoms with regard to the year when Kweoleum is affecting the earth energy and the wind energy is partially over-abundant can be, based on the theory of the five elements and six climates, diagnosed as the symptoms from impaired spleen and stomach due to excessive wind energy. Prescriptions from 『Treatise of Cold-Induced Diseases』pursuant to prescriptions based on the theory for properties and tastes of Korean oriental herbal medicines can be broken down into the following: pinellia decoction for reducing stomach-fire(Banhasasimtang); ginger decoction for reducing stomach-fire(Saenggangsasimtang); liquorice root decoction for reducing stomach-fire(Gamchosasimtang); and Chinese goldthread decoction(Hwangryentang). Therefore, symptoms of six kinds of weather presented in 「the Various Changes in the Dominations of the Six Energies and their Relations with the Diseases」 of 『Plain Questions』 can be analyzed from the physiological point of view. As a result, in addition to the methodology that analyzes existing prescriptions within the boundary of the theory for properties and tastes of Korean oriental herbal medicines in 『Yellow Emperor's Canon Internal Medicine』, it is expected that a theoretical basis for new prescriptions can be provided by analyzing prescriptions from 『Treatise of Cold-Induced Diseases』, based on prescriptions from the theory for properties and tastes of Korean oriental herbal medicines.
