During the past few years, Korea has experienced extraordinary floods, which have caused many damages of lives and properties. Flooding caused by typhoon is the most common disastrous phenomenon of nature among all catastrophes. As the average temperature of the earth has been increasing by global warming, the possibility of typhoon is also increased by abnormal climate changes. Along with the river improvement as a part of flood control, the time of concentration has been decreased, so the pick discharge has been increased. Moreover, with the land development activities, the area of storage has been diminishing, and the damages from inundation have been continuously increasing. There were a lot of damages to farmland in 1960's, industrial and public facilities in 1970's, and a lot of sufferings from the windstorm in 1980's. In 1990's, however, the amount of damages was increased substantially. So, there is need to decrease the number of the victims and loss of properties by applying preventive measures against natural calamities. This study has employed a simulation system to calculate the depth and amounts of inundation areas to forecast and prevent from flood damage by using rainfall-runoff model. In this study, a case study method is adopted to show inundation by using rainfall-runoff model, HEC-GeoRAS and Arcview. It is hoped that, this study would be conducive to professionals and organizations working in the field of disaster management.

Recently, disasters caused by extreme weather and the damage caused by them are increasing worldwide. The interest in disasters, such as earthquakes, typhoons, and ground subsidence, is increasing in Korea. Korea has enacted a special law based on disaster management, and has built monitoring systems for individual facility units by building precision sensors and related systems to measure the displacement status of long bridges and high-rise composite buildings. On the other hand, the application of a real-time monitoring system is insufficient for slopes, open-pit mines, small and medium structures due to weather, measurement methods, cost, and constant monitoring difficulties. In this study, the displacement monitoring method using the total station was studied and the applicability was suggested through the experiment. Through the research, the concept and operation flow of a monitoring system that can measure the displacement of the terrain or the structure using the total station was presented. The monitoring system allows the user to select the location and operation method of the equipment so that the equipment can be installed according to the site situation, and set the number of observations, the period, and the observation range of the object. Using the experiment on the monitoring system, the station was monitored with precision within 5mm, and it was suggested that the displacement of the object can be monitored using the total station. Further research will be needed to assess the applicability of monitoring to real slopes and structures.

The most influential facility causing traffic disaster on the urban road is intersection. Accordingly, this study elected a region for case study from seabang three-way junction, partial section of Dongmoon Ro in Kwang-Ju city, to the intersection of Mudeung Library Entrance. It is believed that the signal progression is very effective on the basis of short interval of intersection and massive traffic volume. The signal progression was simulated by using TRANSYT-7F model. The following is summary of the simulation: According to the change of cycle length, P.I. delay and fuel consumption showed the tendency of being increased in case that cycle length becomes long or short, centering around the best cycle length. In the event of progressing the cycle length, the average speed per vehicle is increased by 11.39Km per hour and P.I value is improved by 40.65% so that it resulted in 42.86% improvement in the total travel time. Moreover, the fuel consumption in line with the progression practice produced fuel saving of 31.04%.

The hazard maps for predicting collapse on natural slopes consist of a combination of topographic, hydrological, and geological factors. Topographic factors are extracted from DEM, including aspect, slope, curvature, and topographic index. Hydrological factors, such as soil drainage, stream-power index, and wetness index are most important factors for slope instability. However, most of the urban areas are located on the plains and it is difficult to apply the hazard map using the topography and hydrological factors. In order to evaluate the risk of subsidence of flat and low slope areas, soil depth and groundwater level data were collected and used as a factor for interpretation. In addition, the reliability of the hazard map was compared with the disaster history of the study area (Gangnam-gu and Yeouido district). In the disaster map of the disaster prevention agency, the urban area was mostly classified as the stable area and did not reflect the collapse history. Soil depth, drainage conditions and groundwater level obtained from boreholes were added as input data of hazard map, and disaster vulnerability increased at the location where the actual subsidence points. In the study area where damage occurred, the moderate and low grades of the vulnerability of previous hazard map were 12% and 88%, respectively. While, the improved map showed 2% high grade, moderate grade 29%, low grade 66% and very low grade 2%. These results were similar to actual damage.

Recently, there has been an increase in the number of disaster victims locally due to climate change and a variety of frequently occurring natural disasters. The damage caused by abrupt weather change in local area by typical weather forecasting techniques is very limited and difficult. Recently local area weather monitoring system using wireless sensor network technology has been very actively studied. Thus an IEEE 802.15.4-based weather field server to measure and monitor the local weather changes was designed and developed in this study. The proposed weather field server utilizes a wireless sensor node and weather sensors to collect weather information such as temperature, humidity, illumination, dew point, barometric pressure, and water level. The integrated weather sensor board was designed to respond quickly to weather changes, and provide feedback to the server PC. Each weather information is analyzed in the server PC to establish a program to monitor and analyze the local area or the area of abrupt climate change in order to provide warning signals in case of disaster events in local.

The objective of this study is to develop a two-dimensional (2D) flood model that can perform accurate flood analysis with simple input data. The 2D flood inundation models currently used to create flood forecast maps require complex input data and grid generation tools. This sometimes requires a lot of time and effort for flood modeling, and there may be difficulties in constructing input data depending on the situation. In order to compensate for these shortcomings, in this study, a grid-based model that can derive accurate and rapid flood analysis by reflecting correct topography as simple input data was developed. The calculation efficiency was improved by extending the existing 2×2 sub-grid model to a 5×5. In order to examine the accuracy and applicability of the model, it was applied to the Gamcheon Basin where both urban and river flooding occurred due to Typhoon Rusa. For efficient flood analysis according to user's selection, flood wave propagation patterns, accuracy and execution time according to grid size and number of sub-grids were investigated. The developed model is expected to be highly useful for flood disaster mapping as it can present the results of flooding analysis for various situations, from the flood inundation map showing accurate flooding to the flood risk map showing only approximate flooding.

The study aims to identify the existing problems and suggests the implication for the planning of emergency shelter in terms of users' habitability. The results of the study show that the concept of shelters for disaster victims need to set up and be distinctively defined as emergency phase and temporary residency phase. In emergency phase, the various types of buildings and facilities should be considered as temporary shelters for disaster victims such as transitional shelters including the public facilities. Based on the results of the critical review, this research proposed an analytic framework emphasizing habitability for disaster victims including vulnerable people such as the disabled, the aged, women and children. The framework is composed of four dimensions: safety, health, convenience and comfortability. The manual guidelines for emergency shelters should reflect the barrier-free design or universal design for various types of disaster victims considering habitability to provide the positive opportunity and future hope for restoration after disaster. This research can be a basis for the planning and application of temporary shelters for disaster victims.

산지하천의 경우 집중호우 발생 시 급류나 범람, 산사태 등으로 인명과 재산 피해가 발생하며, 하류지역에는 홍수에 의한 피해가 증가하고 있다. 특히 강원도의 경우 2002년 태풍 루사, 2003년 태풍 매미, 2007년 집중호우 등으로 대규모 홍수피해가 발생하였다. 이를 계기로 강원도는 홍수에 대비하기 위해 초음파 수위계를 도내 주요 하천에 설치하고, 실시간으로 모니터링하며 긴급히 재난에 대비할 수 있는 재해 예 경보 시스템을 갖추었다. 초음파 수위계는 설치와 유지보수가 간단하며 실시간으로 계측자료를 전송하기 때문에 모니터링에 효과적이지만 온도나 습도 등과 같은 환경적 요건에 따라 초음파의 측정에 오차가 나타나며, 초음파가 반사되는 짧은 시간동안 측정된 수위는 홍수시 발생될 수 있는 파고의 영향이 많이 나타나 수문해석에 사용될 수 있는 수위를 대변하지 못하는 경우가 많다. 본 연구에서는 강원도의 양양남대천의 중류에 있는 놀골교를 선정하고, 기 설치된 초음파 수위계와 신규 설치한 부자식 수위계의 수위자료를 비교하였다. 두 수위자료의 비교분석은 유량에 따라 홍수위, 평수위, 갈수위로 구분하여 이루어졌다. 초음파 수위계에 의한 측정자료는 잡음이 많이 발생하였고 온도에 의한 영향이 많으며, 부자식 수위계에 비해 큰 수위로 측정되는 것으로 나타났다. 유량에 따라 비교하였을 때 홍수위에서는 수위를 과대관측하고 평수위, 갈수위에서는 수위변동의 폭이 심한 것으로 나타났다.
