Currently, development of environmental index has been an increasingly important issue to achieve sustainable development, providing critical information to policy-makers. In particular, marine environmental composite index for Korea is widely required to establish. This paper constructs a marine environmental composite index using the OECD pressure-state-response (PSR) framework and employing multi-attribute utility theory (MAUT). The PSR framework links human activities as a pressure to environmental state and policy response. Weights are calculated by the MAUT technique. The paper provides annual pressure, state, response indices, and state index by sea area from 1991 to 2001 in Korea. The implications of the results and application plan of the index are also discussed.

최근 전 세계적으로 기후변화가 심해지고 있어 자연재해 또한 늘어나고 있다. 많은 자연재해 중 겨울철 재해인 대설 피해는 2012년부터 2021년까지 10년동안 약 1,200억의 피해액이 발생하였고 많은 재산 피해의 위험이 있어 지속적인 연구가 필요하다. 그 중 충남지역의 피해액은 약 200 억으로 우리나라의 피해액 중 두 번째로 많다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 PSR(Pressure Index, State Index, Response Index)과 DPSIR(Driver force Index, Pressure Index, State Index, Impact Index, Response Index) 방법을 이용하여 충남지역의 대설에 대한 취약성을 분석하여 더 신뢰할 수 있는 대설 위험지역을 제시하였다. PSR 방법은 압력지수, 상태지수, 반응지수로 구분되고, DPSIR 방법은 추진력, 압력, 상태, 영향, 대책 지수로 나뉜다. 각 지표에 해당하는 데이터베이스를 구축하고 엔트로피 방법을 이용하여 가중치를 산정하고 충남지역의 대설 취약성 지수를 산출하였다. 2018년부터 2022년까지 최근 5년 동안의 충남지역의 대설피해를 기준으로 PSR(Pressure Index, State Index, Response Index)과 DPSIR(Driver force Index, Pressure Index, State Index, Impact Index, Response Index) 방법을 이용하여 산출한 지수를 비교한 결과 DPSIR(Driver force Index, Pressure Index, State Index, Impact Index, Response Index) 방법을 이용하여 산출된 취약성 지수가 더 신뢰할 수 있는 결과를 보였다. 본 연구의 결과 대설피해 발생 시 대설 위험지수가 높은 지역을 선제적으로 대비할 수 있고 효율적인 제설대응체계를 구축할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The study attempts to try a classification of tidal flats types by selecting indicators and go forward to suggest a management plan by tidal flats types. With several indicators selected and PSR(Pressure-State-Response) framework, the relationship between environmental changes and socioeconomic activities in tidal flats was investigated. Tidal flats types were consequently classified into three groups: Wetland Protection Area, Wetland Rehabilitation Area, and Wetland Use-coordination Area. Accordingly, 69 tidal flats were assigned into each groups by PSR analysis: 34 Wetlands Protection Areas, 26 Wetland Rehabilitation Areas, and 9 Wetland Use-coordination Areas. So the baseic management plan of tidal flats must be different by tidal flats and characteristics of region but basically it must give top priority to the sustainable use in the long term.

Recently, the risk of snow disasters has been increasing South Korea. The damages of heavy snow were categorized into direct and indirect. Direct damage is usually the collapse of buildings as houses, greenhouse or barns. Indirect damage is various, for example, traffic congestion, traffic acident, drop damage, and so on. In South Korea, direct damage is severe in rural area, mosty collapse of greenhouse or barns. However, indirect damage such as traffic accident is mostly occurred in urban area. Therefore, the regional characteristics should be considered when vulnerability is evaluated. Therefore, in this study, the PSR and DPSIR method were applied by regional scale in South Korea. The PSR evaluation method is divided into pressure, state, and reaction index. however, the DPSIR evaluation method is divided into Driving force, Pressure, State, Impact, and Response index. the DPSIR evaluation method is divided into Driving force, Pressure, State, Impact, and Response index. Data corresponding to each indicator were collected, and the weight was calculated using the entropy method to calculate the snowfall vulnerability index by regional scale in South Korea. Calculated heavy snow damage vulnerabilities from the two methods were compared. The calculated vulnerabilities were validated using the recent snow damage in South Korea from 2018 to 2022. Snow vulnerability index calculated using the DPSIR method showed more reliable results. The results of this study could be utilized as an information to prepare the mitigation of heavy snow damage and to establish an efficient snow removal response system.
