Recently, soil erosion have been thickening from heavy rainfall according to climate change. These soil erosion is main reason to cause landslide, the water quality, agricultural counterproductivity and so on. Therefore, it is important to find out the main source area to cause soil erosion using geospatial data including DEM, soil map and land cover those are very sensitive to soil erosion modeling. This study evaluated soil erosion using RUSLE model. Hyoja 4-Dong and Pyonghwa 2-Dong among Wansan-Gu showed high as 10,869 ton/yr and 10,477 ton/yr respectively and Ua 2-Dong of Deokjin-Gu showed high as 17,603 ton/yr in soil erosion. And Hyoja 1-Dong and Pyonghwa 1-Dong among Wansan-Gu showed high as $1,485.7ton/km^2$ and $1,297.0ton/km^2$ respectively and Inhu 3-Dong of Deokjin-Gu showed high as $2,557.7ton/km^2$ in unit soil erosion that was applied to the evaluation of soil erosion potential. It is anticipated that achievement of this study can apply to forecast and prepare the risk of soil erosion and debris flow in urban area.

Forest accounts for almost 64 percents of total land cover in South Korea. For inventorying, monitoring, and managing such large area of forest, application of remote sensing and geographic information system (RS/GIS) technology is essential. On the basis of spectral characteristics of satellite imagery, forest cover and tree species can be classified, and forest cover map can be prepared. Using three dimensional data of LiDAR(Light Detection and Ranging), tree location and tree height can be measured, and biomass and carbon stocks can be also estimated. In addition, many indices can be extracted using reflection characteristics of land cover. For example, the level of vegetation vitality and forest degradation can be analyzed with VI (vegetation Index) and TGSI (Top Grain Soil Index), respectively. Also, pine wilt disease and o ak w ilt d isease c an b e e arly detected and controled through understanding of change in vegetation indices. RS and GIS take an important role in assessing carbon storage in climate change related projects such as A/R CDM, REDD+ as well. In the field of climate change adaptation, impact and vulnerability can be spatio-temporally assessed for national and local level with the help of spatio-temporal data of GIS. Forest growth, tree mortality, land slide, forest fire can be spatio-temporally estimated using the models in which spatio-temporal data of GIS are added as influence variables.

Shallow landslides and debris flows are a common form of soil slope instability in South Korea. These events may be generally initiated as a result of intense rainfall or lengthening rainfall duration because of the effects of climate change. This paper presents the evaluation of rainfall-induced natural soil slope stability and reinforced soil slope instability under vertical load (railway or highway load) throughout South Korea based on quantitative analysis obtained from 58 sites rainfall observatories for 38 years. The slope stability was performed for infinite and geogrid-reinforced soil slopes by taking an average of maximum rainfall every ten years from 1973 to 2010. Seepage analysis is carried out on unsaturated soil slope using the maximum rainfall at each site, and then the factor of safety was calculated by coupled analysis using saturated and unsaturated strength parameters. The contour map of South Korea shows four stages in 10-year-time for the degree of landslide hazard. The safety factor map based on long term observational data will help prevent rainfall-induced soil slope instability for appropriate design of geotechnical structures regarding disaster protection.

Site conditions affect the magnitude of loss due to geologic hazards including, but not limited to, earthquakes, landslides and liquefaction. Reliable geologic loss estimation system requires site information which can be achieved by GIS-based method using geologic or topographic maps. Slope data derived from DEM can be an effective indicator for classifying the site conditions. We studied and discussed the effect of different DEM resolutions in the site classification. We limited the study area to the south-eastern Korea and used two different resolutions of DEMs to observe discrepancies in the site classification results. Largest discrepancy is observed in the areal coverage of site class C(very dense soil and soft rock) and E(soft soil). Comparison of results shows that more areas are classified as site class B(general rock) or E(soft soil) when we use higher resolution DEM. The comparison also shows that more areas are classified as site class C or D(stiff soil) using lower resolution DEM. The comparison of results using resampled DEMs with different resolutions shows that the areal coverage of site class B and E decreases with decreasing resolutions. On the contrary, areal coverage of site class C and D increase with decreasing resolutions. Loss estimation system can take advantage of higher-resolution DEMs in the area of rugged or populated to obtain precise local site information.

The shallow landslide-trigerred debris flow in hillslope catchments is the primary geological phenomenon that drives landscape changes and therefore imposes risks as a natural hazard. In particular, debris flows occurring in urban areas can result to substantial damages to properties and human injuries during the flow and sediment transport process. To alleviate the damages as a result of these debris flow, analytical models for flow and damage prediction are of significant importance. However, the analysis of debris flow model parameters is not yet sufficient, and the analysis of the entrainment, which has a significant influence on the flow process and the damage extent, is still incomplete. In this study, the effects of erosion and erosion process on the flow and the impact area due to the change in the soil parameters are analyzed using Deb2D model, a flow analysis model of debris developed in Korea. The research is conducted for the case of the Mt. Umyeon landslide in 2011. The resulting impacted area, total debris-flow volume, maximum velocity and inundated depth from the Erosion model are compared to the field survey data. Also, the effect of the entrainment changing parameters is analyzed through the erosion shape and depth. The debris flow simulation for the Raemian and Shindong apartment catchment with the consideration of entrainment effect and erosion has been successful. Each parameter sensitivity could be analyzed through sensitivity analysis for the two basins based on the change in parameters, which indicates the necessity of parameter estimation.

Artificial accelerated weathering test evaluated rocks from near the circuit road of Ulleungdo island, approximately 120 km from east of the Korean Peninsula. The tests subjected rock specimens to conditions based on the climate of the island. The specimens (such as basaltic breccia, trachyte, volcanic breccia) were preliminarily classified using a TAS diagram (XRF data) and based on the constituent minerals (XRD data); they were further classified by weathering degree according to their absorption ratios. During the artificial accelerated weathering, the absorption ratio of most of the specimens increased, but the point-load strength did not decrease in most cases, except for the volcanic breccia. The greater initial absorption ratio of trachyte rock specimen in comparison with the other specimens led to a greater increase of its absorption ratio during the artificial accelerated weathering test. The volcanic breccia specimens showed the greatest increase of absorption ratio and the biggest reduction ratio of the point- load strength during the tests. These results could aid prediction of the weathering rate of rocks in Ulleungdo island subjected to weathering processes; trachyte which appears to accelerate with time, and volcanic breccia whose mechanical strength can largely decrease in a relative short period of time. Proper measures therefore appear necessary for the prevention of natural disaster such as rock fall and landslide around the circuit road.

우리나라의 경우 1조원 이상 피해를 입힌 자연재해가 '98년 이후 집중적으로 발생하는 등 최근 급격한 도시화 산업화 및 범지구적인 이상기후 현상으로 자연재해로 인한 피해가 점차 대형화 다양화되는 추세이다. 그에 따른 국내 재해관리 및 사전예방의 중요성은 그 동안 여러 차례 기획사업 및 재정계획을 통해 제시된 바 있으나, 대부분 추진계획 수립에 그치고 실질적인 예산 편성시에는 충분히 반연되지 못한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 우리나라의 재해예방투자사업의 규모와 구체적 계획에 대하여 살펴보고자 한다. 재해사전예방 분야의 기존 투자계획으로는 "제1차 국가안전관리 5개년 기본계획"과 "2005-2009 국가재정운용계획", "수해방지대책 백서" 등이 있었으며 그 중 "제1차 국가안전관리 5개년 기본계획"은 정부역사상 처음으로 시행하는 중 장기 국가재난관리정책으로, 풍수해대책, 설해대책 등의 자연재해를 비롯하여 총 17개의 재난유형별 재난관리대책을 포괄하고 있으며, 11개 부처 및 시도에 대해 27개 사업, 36조 8천억원을 투자하는 계획을 제시하였다. 가장 최근에는 2010년 8월에 국무총리실 주도 재난관리 개선 민관합동 TF팀을 구성하여 기후변화 및 기상이변에 선제적 대응 및 기존 방재체계에 대한 근본 패러다임 전환을 통한 선진적 방재시스템 구축을 추진하기 위하여 기후변화대응 재난관리 개선 종합대책을 마련하였다. 일선 경험이 많은 민간전문가 주도로 철저히 현장 중심의 문제점과 대안을 검토하고 대책을 준비함으로서 기존의 재난관리대책 구축방법과 차별성을 띄었다고 할 수 있다. 이번 재난관리 개선 종합대책에서는 5개 시 도의 현장조사와 기존대책을 분석하고, 전문가 의견 등을 검토하여 도시유역종합치수계획, 소하천 및 사방댐 정비, 소규모 시설 정비 등 26건을 포함한 '99년부터 3회에 걸쳐 추진한 재해관련 범정부 종합대책을 검토하여 필요성이 있으나 추진이 미흡했던 과제는 포함시켰다. 또한 기후변화 대응에 필요한 신규과제 및 재해취약요인이 드러난 도시방재를 위한 개선과제를 집중 검토하도록 하였다. 다수부처 관련 쟁점과제에 대해서는 주관부처를 정하거나 민간 전문가가 참여하는 조정회의 및 세미나, 공청회를 통해 보완 검토하였다. 그 결과로서 2011년 전년대비 재해예방 관련 사업에 대한 국고 투자규모는 도시침수방지 17%, 수자원 관리 25%, 항만 정비 17%, 산사태 예방 24%, 농업기반시설 정비 20%, 위험지 정비 19%, 재난 예측 및 대응시스템 개선 16% 증가하여 투자계획이 수립되었으며 전체적으로는 약 21% 증가된 투자계획이 수립되었다.

이 연구는 수자원 환경을 전반적으로 객관화, 계량화하는 새로운 방법이 성공적임을 소개한다. 기존의 계량법이 일강수량, 월 강수량, 년 강수량 등등, 단순한 수학적 합계에 치중한 결과 가중 중요한 강수의 시간 분포를 간과하였다. 이 단점을 해결하여, 1) 구체적으로 매 시간, 매일 남아 있다고 추정되는 물의 양 만을 합산하는 방법을 택했다. 시간적 감소함수를 이용하여, 강수 후 유출과 증발 등으로 사라지는 물의 양을 고려한 것이다. 2) 합산기간을 객관화하였다. 기본 합산 기간을 365일로 하고, 물 부족 또는 물 과잉이 지속될 경우는 지속되는 기간만큼, 합산기간을 늘이는 방법을 택했다. 따라서 다른 지수들이 임의로 3개월 또는 12개월 등등으로 기간을 결정하는 단점을 해결했다. 이렇게 계산되는 4차원 강수지수(4-Dimensional Rain Index, 4RI)는 1) 일별유효강수지수 (AWRI), 2) 일별가뭄지수(EDI), 3) 일별 홍수지수(FI), 4) 시간별 장기 물지수(LWI), 5) 시간별 단기 물지수(SWI) 등 5개가 기본지수이다. AWRI는 매일 남아 있는 물의 양이다. 이로 인해, 전 지구의 수자원과 재해위험의 시공간적 분포의 정량화 분석이 정밀해졌다. 지구상에서 물 집중이 가장 강한 곳은 캄보디아 내의 한 지점이며 시기는 7월 말이고, 가장 약한 곳은 사하라 사막의 한 지역임이 확인되었다. 또 한국에서 발생하는 갈수기와 풍수기가 정의되었고, 이들의 각 지역별 특성과 차이가 정량적으로 드러났다. 시간적 분포 또한 명확하게 드러나, 각종 저수지의 물 관리나 농?임산물의 생산관리에 획기적 전환점이 마련되었다. 각 국가별로, 각 지역별로 이런 분석은 향후도 무수히 시도되어야 할 것이다. EDI는 매일의 AWRI를 그 날짜의 평균치와 비교한 값이다. 장기가뭄 및 단기가뭄의 강도를 모두 가장 정밀하게 표현한다. FI는 일별로 홍수, 산사태, 침수, 토사 (이하 홍수 등이라 칭함)의 위험을, LWI는 장기 누적된 강수량에 의한 돌발적 홍수 등의 위험을, SWI는 단기 누적된 강수량에 의한 돌발적 홍수 등의 위험을 잘 반영한다. 이들은 모두 시간적으로 산발적인 호우에 의한 홍수 등의 위험을 한 개의 지수로 표현해 주는 장점이 있다. 강수 후 홍수가 발생하기 까지는 시간차이가 있기 때문에, 특히 호우 경보에는 SWI가, 홍수 경보에는 LWI가 아주 효과적이다. 결론적으로 5개의 4차원 강수지수는 물환경의 시공간적 분포진단과 예측, 그리고 조기경보에 혁명적 진화를 초래함이 확인되었다. 따라서 추후 모든 강수기후와 연관된 연구는 연강수량 등의 단순 합산보다, 4차원 강수지수를 먼저 사용하는 것이 바람직 할 것임이 제안되었다.
