Life and Property damage has increased during traffic congestion and isolation because natural disasters such as flood and landslide have occurred every year. When disaster occurs, if there is insufficient information in advance when entering the flooding areas which subsequently cause confusion. In this paper, we developed the system that could provide display of detour route using disaster information and evacuation route in disaster areas. User will receive result of analysis using smart phone application to prevent additional damages when disaster areas were entered by manager.

Most of dams and reservoirs were made from natural materials, such as soil, sand and gravel. This type of hydraulic structure has the danger of collapse by overflow during a flood. Freeboard is the vertical distance between the crest of the dam and the full supply level in the reservoir. It must be sufficient to prevent overtopping from over flow. Thus, freeboard determination involves engineering judgment, statistical analysis, and consideration of the damage that would result from the overtopping of a hydraulic structure. This study attempts to calculate the wave height in dam, which is needed for the determination of the freeboard of the dam. Chung-ju dam is selected as the study area. Using the empirical formulas, the wave heights in dam were calculated, and the results were compared with those by the SWAN model, which is a typical wave model. The difference between the calculated results from the empirical formulas and those by the SWAN model is considerably large. This is because empirical equations consider only fetch or fetch and wind velocity, while the SWAN model considers depth and topography data as well.

The large number of long-span bridges constructed in China motivates the applications of structural health monitoring (SHM) technology. Many bridges have been equipped with sophisticated SHM systems in the mainland of China and in Hong Kong of China. Recently, SHM technology has been extended to field test systems. In this view, SHM can serve as a tool to develop the methods of life-cycle performance design, evaluation, maintenance and management of bridges; to develop new structural analysis methods through validation and feedback from SHM results; and to understand the behavior of bridges under natural and man-made disasters, rapidly assess the damage and loss of structures over large regions after disasters, e.g., earthquake, typhoon, flood, etc. It is hoped that combining analytical methods, numerical simulation, small-scale tests and accelerated durability tests with SHM could become the main engine driving the development of bridge engineering. This paper demonstrates the above viewpoint.

기후변화의 영향은 전세계적으로 재해를 가중시키는 역할을 하고 있다. 특히 인구밀도와 자산가치가 높은 도시지역의 홍수피해가 급증함에 따라 이를 방지하기 위한 대책마련이 시급히 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 미래의 기후변화에 대응하기 위한 방안으로 도심지역에 LID(Low Impact Development)기법을 적용하여 도시 홍수의 저감방안으로서 그 적용성을 평가하고자 하였다. 이를 위해, 굴포천 유역을 대상으로 XP-SWMM을 이용하여 관망을 구축하고 현재 강우자료(1961~2000년)와 미래의 강우자료(KMA-A2 기후변화 시나리오, 2001~2090년)를 적용하여 현재와 미래의 강우조건에 따른 도심지역의 홍수범람 및 유출량을 산정하였다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 모델링된 지역 중, 기후변화 전후의 상습 홍수범람지역을 우선적으로 선정하여 LID기법을 적용하였다. 효율적인 LID기법의 적용을 위해 토지이용 변화에 따른 시나리오를 작성하고, 이에 따른 유출곡선지수(Curve Number, CN)값을 산정하여 도시홍수 범람지역 및 유출량의 변화를 검토하는데 이용하였다. 분석 결과, LID기법을 적용하였을 경우 기후변화에 따른 도심지역의 홍수 및 유출량을 현재 수준으로 낮출 수 있다는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통하여 개발이 완료된 도시지역에도 효율적인 LID기법의 적용에 따라 도시홍수 및 유출량을 효과적으로 저감할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 기후변화에 대응하기 위한 하나의 대응책으로써 충분한 역할을 할 수 있을 것이라고 판단된다.

Sentinel-2A satellite imagery provides VNIR (Visible Near InfraRed) and SWIR (ShortWave InfraRed) wavelength bands, and it is known to be effective for land cover classification, cloud detection, and environmental monitoring. Greenhouse is one of the middle classification classes for land cover map provided by the Ministry of Environment of the Republic of Korea. Since greenhouse is a class that has a lot of changes due to natural disasters such as storm and flood damage, there is a limit to updating the greenhouse at a rapid cycle in the land cover map. In the present study, we utilized Sentinel-2A satellite images that provide both VNIR and SWIR bands for the detection of greenhouse. To utilize Sentinel-2A satellite images for the detection of greenhouse, we produced high-resolution SWIR bands applying to the fusion technique performed in two stages and carried out the detection of greenhouse using SVM (Support Vector Machine) supervised classification technique. In order to analyze the applicability of SWIR bands to greenhouse detection, comparative evaluation was performed using the detection results applying only VNIR bands. As a results of quantitative and qualitative evaluation, the result of detection by additionally applying SWIR bands was found to be superior to the result of applying only VNIR bands.

Until today, rainwater management was processed without disposing the peak discharge, which was due to rainfall, to provide stability against flood damage. In this process, the natural hydrologic cycle changed quickly, and because of this, some problems that could harm human beings and the environment arose. These problems need to be addressed accordingly. One of the proposals was to carry out decentralized rainwater management through a natural hydrologic cycle on site, including utilization, infiltration, detention, and retention of rainwater. This study aims to set the direction of applicable decentralized rainwater management to housing complex in Korea. Therefore, spacial properties in urban housing complexes were analysed such as the impervious area-to-land ratio, the green area-to-land ratio, artificial land-to-land ratio etc. As the result of this study, when a housing complex was small and developed by reconstruction, the impervious area, artificial land, the green area in the artificial land-to-land ratio were high. So, direction of decentralized rainwater management of these housing complexes is available to utilize and detain rainwater. On the other hand, those of big housing complexes in land development district were low relatively. So, direction of decentralized rainwater management of these housing complexes is available to infiltrate and evaporate rainwater.

재해가 발생하기 전에 피해규모와 이에 따른 영향 및 피해액을 신속하게 추정하는 것은 효율적인 재난 관리를 하는데 있어 중요하고, 더불어 정책결정자들이 의사결정을 할 때 도움이 될 수 있다. 하지만 기존의 연구는 단순 재해 피해발생 후에 그 피해액 혹은 복구액을 산정하는 수준이며, 현재 피해액 추정에 대한 연구는 전무 하며 그 기술개발에 또한 초기단계에 있다. 이에 피해액 추정에 대한 연구가 시급한 실정이다. 실질적으로 자연재해 정보에 대한 수요가 급증하고 있는 반면에 체계적이고 일관된 통계기반의 정보체계는 미흡하다. 이에 국가에서도 재해에 대한 피해액 및 복구비 산정 등 예산편성에 있어 큰 어려움을 겪고 있다. 기존통계 방식에 대한 개선의 필요성 인식과 더불어 본 연구의 목적은 재해 발생 전에 그 피해규모와 영향을 고려하여 이에 따른 피해액을 신속하게 추정하기 위함에 있다. 본 연구에서는 비선형 회귀식을 이용하여 강우-홍수피해액에 대한 함수를 제시하고자 한다.

The local storm occurred Nakdong river basin from August 4 to 11 of the year 2002, resulting in a record 500-600mm rainfall. The heavy rain continued for more than 10 days and especially between 3 to 4 am of August 9, 50mm per hour local storm occurred in Hanrim-myun area, Kimhae. 8 days after the storm, the water level of Nakdong river rose rapidly and the river flowed backward the branches. T he draining of the protected low wetland was unable and the water level of the inner bank area rose suddenly, causing the inundation in several areas. Baeksan bank of Nam river, Gahyun(Samhak) bank of Hwang river, and Kwangam bank of Shinban river, where the draining facilities were under construction or constructed recently, were failed by the piping around the draining culvert. This study analyze the cause of the damage in Nakdong river banks and suggests the countermeasures for future improvement. The damaged spot of the river bank was surveyed, and the rainfall and the fluctuation in the water levels were reviewed. Finally for the flood inundation prevention at the inner bank area, new floodplain management plan as the protect of low wetland established.

The Geumho river watershed located in the middle of the Nakdong river has been threatened by high population growth and urbanization. Of concern specifically is the potential impact of future developments in the watershed on the reduction of base flow and the consequent risk of degradation of ecological habitats in Geumho river. Anticipated increase in imperviousness, on the other hand, is expected to elevate flood risk and the associated environmental damage. A watershed hydrology based modeling study is initiated in this study to assist in planning for sustainable future development in the Geumho river watershed. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is selected to model the impact of urbanization in the Geumho river watershed on the hydrologic response thereof. The modeling results show that in general the likelihood that the watershed will experience high and low stream flows will increase in view of the urbanization so far achieved.

In the summer of 1998-2001, a huge flood occurred in the Yangtze River in the eastern China. Low salinity water less than 28 psu from the river was detected around the southwestern part of the Jeju Island, which is located in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. We studied how to detect low salinity water from the Yangtze River, that cause a terrible damage to the Korean fisheries. We established a relationships between low salinity at surface, turbid water from the Yangtze River and digital ocean color remotely sensed data of SeaWiFS sensor in the northern East China Sea, in the summer of 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001. The salinity charts of the northern East China Sea were created by regeneration of the satellite ocean color data using the empirical formula from the relationships between in situ low salinity, in situ measured turbid water with transparency and SeaWiFS ocean color data (normalized water leaving radiance of 490 nm/555 nm).
