This study was aimed at suggest a proper logging method of mountain forest using geographic information system(GIS) based on digital terrain model(DTM) in the National Forest at Mt. Kumsan in Namhae-gun, Gyungsangnam-do, which has about 2,948 ha in area. The areal percentage of 201 to 250m in the elevation was about 15.5%, elevation of 251 to 300m was 14.5%, and 78.75% for higher than 400m. The accumulated areal percentage of below 30% in the gradient was 17.2%, and 81.0% for steeper than 60%. The area for tractor skidding was 17.2%(511.7ha), the area for tractor attached winch skidding was 63.8%(1,896.3ha) and 18.4%(545.5ha) for cable yarding. It is important to choose the proper logging machines for timber harvesting. In general, the selection of logging operation system was affected several major environmental factors like as terrain conditions(slope gradient, slope length) and stand factors. The rate of middle slope gradients in terrain conditions showed higher than that of steep slope gradients in this area. Therefore, it considered that the logging operation system in this area could apply to tractor+winch operating machine according to terrain conditions.

The goal of this study is to assess the spatial distribution of natural slopes and cutting slopes under would-be development. For this goal, a quantitative slope stability analysis method using GIS integrated with a computer program was developed. Through field investigations, the discontinuity parameters were collected such as orientation of discontinuity, persistence, spacing, JRC, JCS, and water depth. The distributions were interpolated from the ordinary kriging method in ARC/INFO GIS after variogram analysis. The layers showing all parameters needed for limit equilibrium analysis were constructed. The final layer using GIS works composed of 162,352 polygons, that is, unit slopes. The rock slope stability analysis program was coded by C++ language. This program can calculate geometrical vectors related to rock block failures using input orientation data and direction and dimension of strength to occur failure. Also, this can calculate shear strength of joints through empirical equations and quantitative factors of safety. This methodology was applied to the study area which is located in Jaecheon city and Danyang-gun of the northeastern Keumsu is about 135$km^2$. As a result, the study area was entirely stable but unstable, that is, factor of safety less than 1.0dominantly at the slopes near Keumsil, Daejangri, Keumsungmyun and Sojugol, Mt. Dongsan, Juksongmyun by the natural slope stability analysis. Assuming the cutting slope showing the same direction immediate, and quantitative analysis of factors of safety for a regional area could be conducted through GIS integrated with a computer program of limit equilibrium.

Landslides, failure of slope stability by natural or artificial factors, occur loss of life and properties. Recently, landslides hazard area predict statistical methods and field measurements, but there are so many difficulties to find the occurrence system because of its complexity. To predict the landslide harvard region, model area is the Seodong in Pusan where occurred landslides. Database of ground height made the each topography in map scale of 1 : 25,000, 1 : 10,000, 1 : 5,000 and 1 : 1,200. Authors knew to landslide hazard area by the weight of ground height data and slope angle data. Finally, aerial photo analysis is possible find landslide hazard area.

Slope stability analysis was conducted using remote sensing and Geoscientific Information System (GIS) as a part of natural hazard assessment around Chungju area. Landsat TM band 5 and 7 which contain more information about geological structure and geography are chosen and processed to analyse regional geological structure. Through image processing technique such as PCA, HFF, edge detection and enhancement, regional lineament can be mapped and identified. The lineament density map is constructed based on summed length of lineaments per unit area and the study area can be divided into 7 structural domains. Various factors of slope stability analysis such as geology, slope aspect, degree of slope, landcover, water shed as well as characterized structural domain are constructed as a database of GIS. Rating and weighting of each factor for slope stability analysis is decided by considering environmental geological characteristics of study area. Spatial analysis of regional slope stability is examined through overlaying technique of the GIS. The result of areal distribution of slope stability shows that the most unstable area is all over Jaeogae-ni, Hyangsan-ni and Mt. Daedun.

In this study, a temperature distribution sensing method using optical fiber was applied to a large-scale levee experiment, and the applicability of wide-area levee or embankment monitoring technology to observe the changes inside the levee was reviewed. The optical fiber was buried in a large-scale levee, and the temporal and spatial temperature changes were measured according to the water level changes in the reservoir. As the water level of the reservoir increased, the temperature of the embankment slope decreased, and as the infiltration progressed, a change in the spatial location of the temperature change was detected. The temperature change due to embankment infiltration varied depending on the time of the infiltration progress, and the change assumed to be the seepage line could be observed. This study has demonstrated that information about temperature changes inside the levee can be interpreted as the information on the locations that are judged to be relatively vulnerable, investigating the changes in the condition inside the levee.

Damage of landslide due to earthquake covers a considerable part of total damage due to earthquake. Landslide due to earthquake affects direct damage of human lives and structures, and social system can be paralyzed by losing functions of roads, basic industries, and so on. Therefore, systematic and specialized research examining the factors affecting the slope stability by earthquakes should be needed. However, method of evaluation of slope stability problems due to earthquake contains somewhat uncertainty since many soil properties are predicted or assumed. In this study, influences of change of soil properties such as degree of saturation and cohesion value are analyzed in factor of safety and displacement using seismic landslide hazard maps based on GIS. As the degree of saturation increases or cohesion decreases, it is found that seismic landslide hazard area marked with factors of safety or displacements tends to increase. Therefore, to draw more exact landslide hazard map during earthquake, it is necessary to obtain accurate soil property information preferentially from site investigation data in the field.

A 90-m horizontal-resolution numerical model was configured to study the micrometeorological features of local winds in the valley of Gwangneung KoFlux (Korea Flux network) Sites (GDK: Gwangneung Deciduous forest site in Korea, GCK: Gwangneung Coniferous forest site in Korea) during summer days. The U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data were employed for high-resolution model terrain height. Model performance was evaluated by comparing observed and simulated near-surface temperature and winds. Detailed qualitative analysis of the model-simulated wind field was carried out for two selected cases which are a clear day (Case I) and a cloudy day (Case II). Observed winds exhibited that GDK and GCK, as well as Case I and Case II, had differences in timing, duration and strength of daytime and nighttime wind direction and speeds. The model simulation results strongly supported the existence of the drainage flow in the valley of the KoFlux tower sites. Overall, the simulated model fields realistically presented the diurnal cycle of local winds in and around the valley, including the morning drainage-upslope transition and the evening reversal of upslope wind. Also, they indicated the complexity of local winds interactions by presenting that daytime westerly winds in the valley were not always pure mountain winds and were often coupled with larger-scale wind systems, such as synoptic-scale winds or mesoscale sea breezes blowing from the west coast of the peninsula.

In order to efficiently analysis the stability of a slope, measuring the shear strength of soil is needed. The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) is not appropriate for a slope inspection due to cost and weights. One of the ways to effectively measure the N-value is the Dynamic Cone Penetration Test (DCPT). This study was performed to develop a minimized multi-function sensors that can easily estimate CPT values and Volumetric Water Content. N value with multi-fuction sensor DCPT showed -2.5 ~ +3.9% error compared with the SPT N value (reference value) in the field tests. Also, the developed multi-fuction sensor system was tested the correlation between the CPT test and the portable tester with indoor test. The test result showed 0.85 R2 value in soil, 0.83 in weathered soil, and 0.98 in mixed soil. As a result of the field test, the multi-function sensor shows the excellent field applicability of the proposed sensor system. After further research, it is expected that the portable multi-function sensor will be useful for general slope inspection.

Monthly runoff was estimated using TOPMODEL which simulates ground water movement as well as surface runoff in the area of catchment. SAYUN dam which is being operated by Korea Water Resources Corporation was selected for the study, and the topographic factors of the watershed were analyzed using 1/5,000 digital map and GIS software(Arc/Info). The comparison shows good agreement between observed monthly runoff and the computation results simulated by using TOPMODEL. The catchment area of SAYUN dam was modeled by using various grid sizes in order to check the sensitivity of grid size, and the grid size of 180m was found most proper among 6 different sizes. TOPMODEL was also found superior to the existing monthly runoff models such as Kajiyama, KRIHS and Tank. Because the model requires limited number of parameters and considers topographic aspects, it is reckoned to be very useful for practical use.

제주도는 연평균 강우량이 1,975mm에 달하는 우리나라 최다우 지역이지만 하천은 주로 한라산 정상을 중심으로 남 북사면 방향으로 급한 경사를 이루며 발달하고 있으며 하천연장은 대부분 15km 내외로 내륙지역의 하천에 비하여 매우 짧은 특성을 보이고 있다. 투수성이 높은 지질학적 특성으로 인하여 집중 호우시 짧은 기간 동안만 유출이 발생하고 평상시 대부분의 하천은 건천의 상태로 유지되고 있다. 향후 기후변화에 의하여 강우량 및 강우강도의 증가로 인한 강우패턴 변화로 집중호우 및 강력한 태풍의 가능성이 지속적으로 증가할 것으로 예측되고 있으나 제주도에서는 기초 수문자료의 확보조차 어려운 실정이며 강우사상에 따른 하천유출 특성 해석 연구는 거의 전무한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 제주도 도심부에 위치한 화북천 유역을 대상으로 SWAT 모델 및 WMS(HEC-HMS) 모델을 이용하여 장단기 강우에 따른 유출 특성을 해석하고자 한다. 유역 내 수문 기상 자료는 기상청 관할 AWS 및 기상관측지점 자료를 수집하여 사용하였으며 DEM(미국 USGS), 토지피복도(국가수자원 종합정보시스템), 토양통도(농업과학기술원)의 자료를 각각 구축하여 모델의 입력자료로 사용하였다. 또한 제주특별자치도 수자원본부에서 운영하는 화북천 하류지점의 실 관측자료를 이용하여 모델의 결과치를 검 보정 하였으며, 모의결과의 적합성을 판단하기 위하여 상관계수의 제곱( ), 평균 제곱근 오차(RMSE), 모형 효율성계수(ME)를 이용하였다. 모델링 기법을 이용하여 장기간(2008.1.1~2010.12.31) 동안의 유출량을 산정한 결과 2008년에는 전체 유역 평균 강우량 중에서 5.66%가 유출되었으며, 2009년도에는 3.47%, 2010년도에는 8.12%가 유출되었다. 화북천 유역은 단일강우 40~50mm 발생시에도 유출은 발생하지 않으나 선행강우가 발생시에는 20mm의 강우에도 반응을 하고 50mm 이상에서 급격한 유출이 발생하는 특징을 도출하였다. 향후 유역 내의 많은 실측 유출량 관측자료를 구축하고 모델 개선을 통하여 모델링 기법을 적용한다면 보다 정밀한 하천유출량 산정 및 유출특성 해석이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
