Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find out the characteristics of landform in Geoje-Do using GIS and DTED data. The characteristics of landform in Geoje-Do are as follows; First, the height-range of Geoje-Do is $0{\sim}580m$, and the average elevation of it is 124m. Volcanic and granite region is mainly appeared at high elevation-region. But, we can't find out outstanding difference of elevation, according to its geology. The second. the slope-range of Geoje-Do is $0{\sim}52$ degree, and the average slope of it is 17.6 degree. The slope of volcanic and granite area is more steeper than any other region. But the results of analysis of the geology in Geojo-Do, don't show outstanding difference of the slope. The third, the area-rate of the aspect of Geoje-Do is almost same in all direction. And the area-rate of south-west direction is the highest. According to the geology of Geoje-Do, granite is distributed the most widely, and the area of volcanic and granite occupy 60% of entire island's area. According to analysis of influence of geology with elevation, geology has little relationship with elevation. According to analysis of geology and drainage network, streams are inclined to be developed well in Alluvium area. Drainage network is well developed throughout the entire island, except southeast area. The highest order of stream is 4 in 1:25,000 topographic map. The density of stream in Geoje-Do is very high, such as 1.6. The bifurcation-ratio of stream is also higher than 4 in all order. The length-ratio of stream is ranged from 1.24 to 3.25. According to the relationship between order and elevation. order is the greater, elevation is the lower. According to the relationship between order and slope, order is the greater, slope is the gentler. In this study, we use DTED Data, and compare it with topographic map data. According to the comparison, there is a little difference between DTED data and topographic map data. Therefore, to use DTED data in landform analysis, it is required coordinate matching process. This process is very important, and take very long time. Thus, if you use DTED in landform analysis, some processes are required. DTED data can be taken very easily, but its using is not simple. Because coordinate adjust is very hard work.

본 연구는 최근 지리학에서 많이 이용되고 있는 GIS를 지형분석에 적응하기 위하여 한반도의 남해안에 위치하는 거제도를 해상으로 지형 및 하계망의 특성 및 지질과 지형, 지질과 하계망, 지형과 하계망과의 관련성을 GIS를 이용하여 분석한 것으로 상용 Data인 DTED와 지형도상의 Data를 같이 사용하고 이를 비교하여 봄으로써 장차 지형분석에 GIS의 이용 가능성과 DTED를 이용한 지형 및 하계분석의 가능성을 평가하고자 한다. 거제도의 자연 환경을 지형도 Data와 DTED를 이용 GIS Tool로 분석하여 그 결과를 비교한 결과 GIS Tool로 지형분석에는 문제가 없었으나 GIS자체가 지형분석을 위해 만들어진 Tool이 아니기 때문에 방법상의 문제가 제기되었다. 또한 지형도상의 Data와 DTED의 분석결과를 비교한 결과 DTED가 지형도 Data에 비해 정밀도가 떨어지고 좌표상의 오차가 발생하였다. 이러한 문제가 있기는 하나 접근이 불가능한 지역이나 넓은 지역을 대상으로 한 분석에서는 DTED가 유용한 자료로 사용될 수 있다.
