A seismic hazard map based on spatial analysis of various sources of geologic seismic information was developed and assessed for regional seismic vulnerability in South Korea. The indicators for assessment were selected in consideration of the geological characteristics affecting the seismic damage. Probabilistic seismic hazard and fault information were used to be associated with the seismic activity hazard and bedrock depth related with the seismic damage hazard was also included. Each indicator was constructed of spatial information using GIS and geostatistical techniques such as ordinary kriging, line density mapping and simple kriging with local varying means. Three spatial information constructed were integrated by assigning weights according to the research purpose, data resolution and accuracy. In the case of probabilistic seismic hazard and fault line density, since the data uncertainty was relatively high, only the trend was intended to be reflected firstly. Finally, the seismic activity hazard was calculated and then integrated with the bedrock depth distribution as seismic damage hazard indicator. As a result, a seismic hazard map was proposed based on the analysis of three spatial data and the southeast and northwest regions of South Korea were assessed as having high seismic hazard. The results of this study are expected to be used as basic data for constructing seismic risk management systems to minimize earthquake disasters.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) achieved relatively rapid economic growth over the past decade. Sustainable growth among member states, however, is put into question due to macroeconomic challenges, political risk, and vulnerability to external shocks. Developed countries, in contrast, have turned into less labor-intensive technologies to further expand their economies. In this paper, we review the science, technology, and innovation (STI) policies and statuses of the scientific and technological capabilities of the ASEAN member countries. Empirical results based on STI indicators (R&D spending, publications, patents, and knowledge economy indices) reveal considerable variation between the science and technology (S&T) competence and effectiveness of STI policies of ASEAN members. We have categorized nations into clusters according their situations in their S&T productivity. Under the Korean Innovation Model, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Brunei are classified as being in the institutional-building stage, while Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam in the catch up stage, and Singapore in the post-catch up stage. Finally, policy prescriptions on how to enhance the S&T capabilities of the developing ASEAN countries, based on the South Korea development experience, are presented.

유역의 홍수위험도를 평가하기 위하여 선행 연구로서 DPSIR framework를 적용한 인자를 선정하였다. 이때 인자의 범위를 사회적, 경제적, 환경적 분야로 구분하고 각 분야에 대하여 홍수로 인하여 야기되는 유역의 다양한 영향요소를 포함하여 인자를 선정하였다. 본 연구에서는 이를 대상으로 각 인자의 가중치를 선정하기 위하여 패널식 조사연구기법인 Delphi 방법을 적용하였다. Delphi 기법은 델파이 절차가 반복되는 동안 조사 참여자에게 전회의 조사 결과, 즉 통계적 집단 반응을 피드백하며 참여자는 이를 참고하여 자신의 판단을 수정 보완 할 수 있는 방법이다. 따라서 1차 설문조사를 통하여 각 패널은 홍수위험도 평가 인자에 대해서 주관적인 가중치를 선정하고 이를 분석한 결과를 피드백 받아 참고한 후 2차 설문조사에 응하여 가중치를 재선정하게 된다. 조사에 참여할 패널의 선정은 수자원분야의 전문가를 대상으로 하였다. 또한 각 인자에 대한 가중치를 수집하는 방법을 다양하게 설정하여 기법에 따른 영향을 검토하였다. 수집기법은 상대적 가중치 결정법 중에서 가장 많이 사용되는 순위법과 직접입력법, 절대적인 기준에 대한 가중치를 수집하기 위하여 Fuzzy 가중치 입력법을 사용하였으며 이 때 각 인자가 소속되는 분야와 DPSIR framework 요소에 대해서도 별도로 가중치를 수집하여 최종적인 인자의 가중치를 결정하였다. 본 연구는 추가 연구를 통해 남한강에 적용되며 인자의 자료는 문헌조사, 통계자료 조사 및 수리학적 수치모형 등의 분석을 통해 수집될 예정이다. 이를 통하여 사회, 경제, 문화, 환경적인 측면을 고려한 인자들을 반영한 하천의 구간별 상대적 홍수취약도를 정량적으로 제시할 수 있으며 하천 구간별 치수관리 우선순위를 결정하는데 적극적으로 활용될 수 있다.

최근 우리나라에서 발생한 홍수 중 많은 관심을 불러일으킨 2010년 광화문 일대와 2011년 강남역 일대 홍수의 주요 원인은 하천관리를 통하여 대응해온 지금까지의 홍수와는 달리 도시의 우수배제 기능이 높은 강도의 강우에 대응하지 못한 것으로 분석되고 있다. 도시내부에서 발생한 이 같은 홍수는 도시의 기능에 심각한 영향을 줄 수 있으며, 거주민의 안전과도 밀접하게 연관된다. 본 연구에서는 도시의 기능과 거주민의 안전을 우선적으로 고려한 홍수 취약성평가 인자를 선정하고자 한다. 기존의 여러 홍수취약성 연구들에서는 취약성을 평가함에 있어 피해금액을 기준으로 적용하는 경우가 많이 있다. 장기적인 홍수대응, 완화 정책의 구상에 있어 예상되는 피해금액은 중요한 지표라고 볼 수 있다. 그러나 이 방법으로는 도시에서 발생 가능한 피해를 모두 반영하는데 한계가 있다. 도로, 지하철, 철도 등의 교통수단이 침수되는 경우, 피해회복을 위한 비용뿐만 아니라, 도시기능에 심각한 영향을 주어 도시의 생산성, 안정성에 막대한 피해를 남길 수 있다. 따라서 피해금액의 규모에 대한 접근만으로는 도시에서 발생한 홍수에 의해 피해를 받는 취약요인을 적극적으로 반영할 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 도시홍수 피해양상과 이에 대한 대응 방법 등 홍수의 물리적 위험성 뿐 아니라 홍수와 연관된 사회적인 요인들을 반영한 취약성 평가인자를 구성하기위하여 인자간의 인과관계 등을 고려하여 인자의 범위를 규정하고 델파이 설문조사와 문헌 연구를 통하여 전문가 의견을 수집, 분석하였다. 홍수취약성에 영향을 주는 요인들을 크게 3가지 그룹으로 정리하여 도시구조물, 거주민, 위험요인으로 구분하고 각 항목별로 영향인자을 선정하였다. 결정된 인자는 2011년 홍수피해가 발생한 도림천 유역에 적용하여 홍수취약성 평가를 수행하고자 한다.

In this study, a GIS-based park safety assessment index was developed to enable objective park vulnerability assessment through data-based GIS analysis, a safety assessment was conducted by selecting a target site where various parks are operated and applying the park safety assessment index. In addition, a facility management system was developed for efficient management of the park safety assessment to update the park safety and provide a foothold for indirect PPGIS. In the case of the assessment index of the safety rating of the park, it was possible to conclude that the accurate quantitative performance was given to the calculation of the safety grade of the park based on the fact that the facilities are different depending on the environment and the size of the park. In addition, the marking the safety grade of parks, as well as the function to show the safety facilities of parks, a common living area for citizens, the management system is expected to have an impact on promoting the use of parks. In the future, in functions such as reporting of facility failures and verifying civil information are implemented by applying civic group participation programs and crowd-sourcing technologies, it is believed that all facilities as well as parks managed by the local government can be managed more efficiently.

The main purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between financial inclusion and socio-economic and demographic factors. Ownership of bank accounts, availing of credit facility, and use of mobile banking were considered the major indicators of financial inclusion. To achieved this objective, the present study was conducted in the rural regions of three hill districts of Uttarakhand. 780 rural households were selected by using stratified and judgment sampling technique. To measure the association between the variables, binary logistic regression model was employed. The findings of the study revealed that there is a significant association of socio-economic variables with financial inclusion. The overall analysis of the study indicates that the likelihood of having bank account, usage of mobile banking facility, and availing credit facility increases with the increase in the financial literacy of an individual in hill rural regions of the state. Further, the study also indicates the vulnerability of women relative to that of men in both cases of mobile usage and availing credit. The findings of the study suggest to target the economically vulnerable section of population (as identified in case of having low financial inclusion) and enhancing the financial literacy in these regions.

전 세계적으로 기후변화로 인해 재난이 빈번히 대형화되고 있으며, 하수처리장과 같은 대형시설물도 자연재해의 위험성이 커지고 침수피해를 받을 확률이 높아지고 있다. 실제로 최근까지 청주 산단 폐수종말처리장, 평택 장당 하수처리장, 광주/곤지암 하수처리장 등이 폭우로 침수돼 가동이 중단되는 사태가 벌어졌다. 하수처리장이 침수될 경우 시설 자체의 1차적 피해도 문제가 되지만, 처리되지 못한 오염물질이 하천으로 흘러 들어가는 2차 피해가 더더욱 문제가 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 문제가 발생하기 전에 집중호우 시 각 시설의 취약성을 사전 평가하여 침수 피해를 대비하고, 평가 내용에 따라 침수 피해 사전·사후 대응을 위한 체계, 방법론을 구축, 제시함으로써 침수피해를 최소화하고자 한다. 침수피해의 취약성을 평가하기 위한 기준으로는 시설물의 침수방지를 위한 건물 턱의 높이, 하수처리시설 인근 제방의 유무, 구조적 홍수방어시설 유무, 침수 발생 시 가장 취약한 전력 설비 시설의 위치 및 피해 대책 등 실질적으로 측정 가능한 구조적 요소를 고려하며, 재난대응 매뉴얼 정비, 사전 재난훈련 수행 등 비 구조적인 측면으로도 접근하여 취약성 평가 지표를 도출하고자 한다.

Climate change is strongly threatening the performance of agricultural reservoirs, which are instrumental in ensuring uninterrupted water supplies for rice cultivation in Korea. In this study, various performance indices were derived and overall sustainability of the 400 agricultural reservoirs was evaluated in the context of climate change trends during 1973-2017. Rice crop evapotranspiration, irrigation water requirements, runoff generation in the upstream watershed, and volumetric evaporation losses were plugged into a water balance model to simulate the reservoir operation during the study period. Resilience, reliability, and vulnerability are the three main indicators of reservoir performance, and these were combined into a single sustainability metric to define the overall system credibility. Historical climate data analysis confirmed that the country is facing a gradual warming shift, particularly in the central and southern agricultural regions. Although annual cumulative rainfall increased over the last 45 years, uneven monthly rainfall distribution during the dry and wet seasons also exacerbated the severity and frequency of droughts/floods. For approximately 85% of the selected reservoirs, the sustainability ranged between 0.35 to 0.77, and this range narrowed sharply with time, particularly for the reservoirs located in the western and southern coast regions. The study outcomes could help in developing the acceptable ranges of the performance indices and implementing appropriate policy and technical interventions for improving the sustainability of reservoirs with unacceptable ranges of the performance indices.

In this study, sub-indicators, and thematic mid-indexes to evaluate the water use characteristics were selected through historical data analysis and factor analysis, and consisted of the subject approach framework. And the integrated index was developed to evaluate water use characteristics of the watershed. Using developed index, the water use characteristics were assessed for 812 standard basins with the exception for North Korea using data of 1990 to 2007 from the relevant agencies. A sensitivity analysis is conducted for this study to determine the proper way through various normalization and weighting methods. To increase the objectivity of developed index, the history of the damage indicators are excluded in the analysis. In addition, in order to ensure its reliability, results from index with and without consideration of the damage history were compared. Also, the index is also applied to real data for 2008 Gangwon region to verify its field applicability. Through the validation process this index confirmed the adequacy for the indicators selection and calculation method. The results of this study were analyzed based on the spatial and time vulnerability of the basin's water use, which can be applied to various parts such as priority decision-making for water business or policy, mitigations for the vulnerable components of the basin, and supporting measures to establishment by providing relevant information about it.
