  • Recently, the concepts of community adaptation and ability to restore have been emphasized in order to evaluate disaster vulnerability and risk exposure level. In particular, the concept of disaster management that voluntarily takes measures prior to disaster situations has been introduced based on participatory disaster management that the community should take responsibility for one's own safety. This study diagnosed the community response capability on four model areas such as Goseong-gun and Gimhae-si, Gyeongsangnam-do and Gimcheon-si and Bonghwa-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do and represented the Community Preparedness Indicator(CPI) for each region as a result.

  • 자연재해의 대형화로 인하여 국가적 재난대비의 중요성과 인식이 고취되고 있으며, 미국 및 일본을 비롯한 방재 선진국에서 도입하고 있는 지역사회의 특성을 고려한 재난 대비책의 중요성이 대두되고 있다. 국내에서 각종 재해위험에 대한 각 지역의 방재능력을 여러 가지 방법으로 진단하고 있으나 대부분 지역의 인구, 시설 등의 정량적 정보에 의존하여 평가하고 있어, 지역민과 지역사회 의견 등이 충분히 반영되지 못하는 실정이다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 지역사회 대비능력을 포함한 홍수취약성지수를 체계적이고 정량적으로 평가할 수 있는 평가시스템 프로토타입 개발을 제안하였다.

  • It is a significant issue for several country including Korea, where the natural and the weather conditions are severe, to keep the safety against disasters which occur frequently every year, especially in urban region crowded with population. In order to implement suitable and effective measures against various disasters in such area, development of method for evaluation of disaster prevention performance based on various disaster risks and effective disaster damage mitigation technologies is independable. In this paper, methods for hazard evaluation, vulnerability evaluation and loss evaluation, and damage technologies are proposed targetting man-made disaster and natural one like flood, earthquake and tsunami and so on. The method proposed in this paper is based on the research of USA and Japan for man-made disaster and natural disaster. The proposed method will be developed in detail in four years during research period funded by government.

  • 본 연구는 불확실성을 고려하여 홍수 취약성 평가를 정량화하기 위한 새로운 방법을 제시하였다. 현실 세계로부터 얻는 많은 정보들은 불확실성을 가지고 있으므로 본 연구는 우리나라의 공간적 홍수 취약성을 산정하기 위해 Fuzzy TOPSIS기법을 사용하였다. 또한 Fuzzy TOPSIS의 결과를 TOPSIS 및 가중합계법을 적용한 결과와 비교하였다. 그 결과 일부 지역의 취약성 순위가 큰 폭으로 역전되는 현상을 보였다. Spearman 순위 상관분석을 실시한 결과 TOPSIS와 가중합계법의 순위는 높은 일치성을 보였으나 Fuzzy TOPSIS의 순위와는 상당히 일치하지 않은 결과를 나타냈다. 즉, Fuzzy 개념을 반영하여 지역별 취약성을 산정할 경우 우선순위의 변동이 크게 발생할 수 있으므로 본 연구에서 제시한 모형도 하나의 취약성 평가의 방법이 될 수 있다.

  • 본 연구는 도시에서 발생하는 홍수에 대응하기 위해서 홍수취약요인을 구성하고 홍수 위험성을 기반으로 취약지역과 정도를 도출하는 동적의사결정 모형 구성을 목표로 한다. 취약 요인은 인명피해에 초점을 맞추었으며 발생 가능한 홍수의 규모에 따른 취약 요인의 대응역량 등을 반영하여 동적의사결정 모형을 구성하고자 한다. 홍수위험성 산정에는 예상되는 홍수 시나리오를 반영한 SWMM 모델링 결과를 이용하였으며, 취약요인은 델파이기법으로 구성하였다. 구성한 모형은 빈번하게 내수침수가 발생한 지역인 도림천 유역을 대상으로 적용성을 검토하였다. 수립된 모형은 홍수 위험성의 정도에 대하여 발생 가능한 인명피해 지역을 공간적으로 파악할 수 있도록 하며 인명피해 예상 수치를 제공할 수 있다.

  • Preserving reservoir safety has recognized to be important for the public where a vast majority of dams are located upstream of greatly populated cities and industrialized areas. Buckling, floatation and cavitation have caused failure in the spillway gates and conveyance features during past catastrophic events; showed their vulnerability and need for regular inspection along with reviewing design calculations to ensure the spillway meet current design standards. This paper investigates the hydraulic and structural consideration of dam's spillway by evaluating the data of Karkheh Dam's. Discharge capacity, flood routings and cavitation damage risk were main features for hydraulic considerations where hydrostatic and hydrodynamic forces and stability conditions were considered in structural considerations.

  • 우리나라 최남단에 위치한 광역자치단체인 제주특별자치도는 태풍의 길목에 위치한 지정학적 특성, 한라산 영향에 의한 호우의 산지효과, 기후변화로 인한 해수면상승 가속화 등에 의해 재해 위험이 매우 높은 지역이다. 또한, 연안지역에 위치한 주거지, 숙박시설 입지 특성과 더불어 해안가의 개발수요 증가에 따라 재해취약성도 지속적으로 악화되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 제주지역을 대상으로 침수재해 취약성을 평가하고, 취약지역 특성을 파악한다. 그 결과, 도 내의 취약지역 분포와 취약등급에 따른 지역적 특성을 알 수 있었으며, 이를 토대로 취약지역 여건에 맞는 도시계획적 방재대책에 대한 시사점을 확인할 수 있었다. 이상과 같은 결과는 기후변화 심화로 인한 호우 패턴 변화에 대응하기 위해 전방위적인 방재시설이 필요함은 물론, 취약지역에 적합한 도시계획적 관점의 관리대책이 마련되어야 함을 시사한다.

  • Vietnamese cities have a high risk of flooding under climate change due to their geographical characteristics. In this situation, the urban area is expanding with rapid growth of urban population. However, the risk of flooding is increasing due to the increase in impermeable areas and insufficient infrastructure. This study analyzed the urban expansion trend at the national level in Vietnam for the past 10 years (2007-2017) by using the Urban Expansion Intensity Index. Also, this study selected Hue City as a region with a large impact of climate change and a rapid expansion and found the possibility of flooding in the urban expansion area. The result showed that cities have been expanded around major cities in the Red River Delta, Mekong Delta, and coastal areas. In the case of Hue City, the area with fast expansion rate has a higher expected flood area. It implies that the risk of flood disasters may increase if the urabn expansion is carried out without disaster prevention measures. It is expected that Korean urban disaster prevention policies such as urban climate change disaster vulnerability analysis system will be helpful in establishing urban plans considering climate change in the fast growing regions such as Vietnam.

  • The main purpose of this study is to reframe sustainability or sustainable development concept in the field of planning in consideration of climate change and natural hazards. The new concept is expected to provide a theoretical foundation for upcoming hazard mitigation measures addressing climate change. The first and main argument of the new concept is that environmental protection should be inclusive enough to address urban (or community) security from current natural hazards. The second is that the balance between structural and nonstructural mitigation measures is critical to cope more effectively with extreme natural hazards in the era of climate change and also with conflicts driven by three goals of sustainability--environmental protection, economic development, and social justice. The following studies, based on this new concept of sustainablity, are expected (1) to address new participation methods for the conflict resolution, (2) to explore detailed and substantive planning strategies and creative technical and institutional solutions for environmental protection, natural hazard mitigation, and conflict resolution. Two of APFM(the Associated Programme on Flood Management)'s three natural hazard risk criteria, Exposure and Vulnerability, may guide the exploration.

  • Natural or man-made disaster has been expected to be one of the potential themes that can integrate human geography and physical geography. Typhoons like Rusa and Maemi caused great loss to insurance companies as well as public sectors. We have implemented a natural disaster management system for a private insurance company to produce better estimation of hazards from high wind as well as calculate vulnerability of damage. Climatic gauge sites and addresses of contract's objects were geo-coded and the pressure values along all the typhoon tracks were vectorized into line objects. National GIS topog raphic maps with scale of 1: 5,000 were updated into base maps and digital elevation model with 30 meter space and land cover maps were used for reflecting roughness of land to wind velocity. All the data are converted to grid coverage with $1km{\times}1km$. Vulnerability curve of Munich Re was ad opted, and preprocessor and postprocessor of wind velocity model was implemented. Overlapping the location of contracts on the grid value coverage can show the relative risk, with given scenario. The wind velocities calculated by the model were compared with observed value (average $R^2=0.68$). The calibration of wind speed models was done by dropping two climatic gauge data, which enhanced $R^2$ values. The comparison of calculated loss with actual historical loss of the insurance company showed both underestimation and overestimation. This system enables the company to have quantitative data for optimizing the re-insurance ratio, to have a plan to allocate enterprise resources and to upgrade the international creditability of the company. A flood model, storm surge model and flash flood model are being added, at last, combined disaster vulnerability will be calculated for a total disaster management system.
