Abstract

Physically based landslide susceptibility analysis has been recognized as an effective analysis method because it can consider the mechanism of landslide occurrence. The physically based analysis used the slope geometry and geotechnical properties of slope materials as input. However, when the physically based approach is adopted in regional scale area, the uncertainties were involved in the analysis procedure due to spatial variation and complex geological conditions, which causes inaccurate analysis results. Therefore, probabilistic method have been used to quantify these uncertainties. However, the uncertainties caused by lack of information are not dealt with the probabilistic analysis. Therefore, fuzzy set theory was adopted in this study because the fuzzy set theory is more effective to deal with uncertainties caused by lack of information. In addition, the vertex method and Monte Carlo simulation are coupled with the fuzzy approach. The proposed approach was used to evaluate the landslide susceptibility for a regional study area. In order to compare the analysis results of the proposed approach, Monte Carlo simulation as the probabilistic analysis and the deterministic analysis are used to analyze the landslide susceptibility for same study area. We found that Fuzzy Monte Carlo simulation showed the better prediction accuracy than the probabilistic analysis and the deterministic analysis.

정량적인 산사태 취약성 분석 중 물리 모델 기반의 분석(physically based approach)은 산사태의 발생 메커니즘 과정을 고려할 수 있는 장점으로 인해 다양한 취약성 분석기법 중 가장 효과적인 기법으로 알려져 있다. 물리 모델 분석은 사면의 지형학적 및 지질공학적 특성과 관련된 입력 자료들을 활용하는데, 현장으로부터 지질공학적 특성을 획득하는 과정에서 지반의 공간적 변동성과 복잡한 지질조건으로 인해 불확실성이 발생하며 이는 부정확한 결과를 초래한다. 따라서 이러한 불확실성을 정량화하기 위하여 확률론적 기법이 활용되어 왔다. 그러나 확률론적 분석을 수행하기 위해 필요한 입력변수의 확률특성은 현장 조사나 실험에서의 수량 제약으로 인하여 정확하게 파악하기 힘들다는 문제가 발생한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 원인으로 인해 발생하는 불확실성을 다루기 위하여 퍼지집합이론(fuzzy set theory)을 활용하였다. 특히, 본 연구에서는 퍼지집합이론과 몬테카를로기법(Monte Carlo simulation)을 결합한 분석기법을 제안하였고 이를 실제 산사태가 발생한 연구지역에 적용하여 적정성을 파악하였다. 이를 위하여 1998년 8월 대규모의 산사태가 발생한 경상북도 상주시 일대를 연구지역으로 선정하고 산사태 취약성 분석을 수행하였다. 또한 퍼지몬테카를로기법(Fuzzy Monte Carlo simulation)의 예측 정확도 비교를 위해, 기존의 확률론적 기법인 몬테카를로기법(Monte Carlo simulation)과 안전율 수행 결과와 비교분석 하였다. 그 결과 퍼지몬테카를로기법(Fuzzy Monte Carlo simulation)이 다른 기법에 비해 가장 좋은 예측의 정확도를 보였다.
