Abstract

Conventional Earthquake Early Warning System (EEWS) detects the propagated P-wave from epicenter which should be achieved within 5 seconds to provide seconds to minutes of warning, allowing people to prepare for protective actions. EEWS in Korea is currently capable of providing a warning within 50 seconds after the primary P-wave detection, however, it is well-known that earthquake warning systems operating around Korean National Parks (KNP) have limited capability to fully monitor earthquake events. This study, therefore, presents a strategy to quantify the potential vulnerability to earthquake hazards by superimposing the distribution of Korea Integrated Seismic System (KISS) and the discretized map of KNP. Total 22 national parks are evaluated, and the results suggest that the improvement of the on-site systems should be necessitated for Gyoengju, Gyeryongsan, Songnisan, Gayasan, and Deogyusan national parks, whereas enhancement of regional systems is required for Bukhansan national park.

지진 조기경보 시스템(EEWS)은 상대적으로 빠른 속도로 전파되는 P파를 관측하여 잇따라 도달하는 S파에 의한 피해 위험을 미리 경보하고, 시민의 즉각적인 대피를 유도하는 것을 목표로 한다. 현재 대한민국의 지진 조기경보 시스템은 최초 P파 관측 후 50초 이내에 지진 경보 발령이 가능한 상태이며 2020년까지 지진 경보 발령 시간을 P파 관측 후 10초 이내로 단축하겠다고 공표한 상태이다. 이를 위해서는 지진 발생 시 P파의 관측이 5초 내에 이루어져야 한다. 2016년 리히터 규모 5.8의 경주 지진 이후 국내 지진 재난 대응체계에 대한 개선의 요구에 힘입어 재난 및 안전관리 기본법 내 재난관리책임기관의 기능 연속성 계획 수립에 관한 항이 신설되었다. 국립공원 관리공단 역시 재난으로부터의 탐방객 안전확보의 의무를 지닌 바, 보다 능동적인 대응체계를 위해 유관기관과의 협력체계 구축을 추진하고 있다. 이에 따라, 본 연구에서는 통합지진관측망의 분포 및 국립공원의 공간적 분포를 정량화하여 국립공원의 지진 조기경보 서비스 제공의 잠재적인 취약성을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 중부지방에 위치하는 속리산, 계룡산, 가야산, 덕유산 및 동남부 지방의 경주 국립공원은 자체적으로 지진파를 감지하여 분석하는 현장시스템의 보강이 필요할 것으로 나타났으며 북한산 국립공원은 통합지진관측망 중심의 전방탐지시스템의 개선이 필요할 것으로 나타났다.
