In this study, the parameter-elevation regressions on independent slopes model-Kongju National University(PRISM-KNU) system was developed to interpolate monthly precipitation data. One of the features of PRISM-KNU is that it can adjust the allowable range of slope according to the elevation range in the equation representing a linear relationship between the precipitation and elevation. The parameter value of the model was determined by using the optimization technique, and the result was applied to produce monthly precipitation data with a spatial resolution of $1{\times}1km$ from 2000 to 2014 in South Korea. In the result, the Kling-Gupta Efficiency for model evaluation was over 0.7 in 86% of the total cases simulated. In addition, a dramatic change in the spatial pattern of precipitation data was observed in the output of the Modified Korean PRISM, but such a phenomenon did not occur in the output of the PRISM-KNU. This study confirmed the appropriateness of the PRISM-KNU, and the result showed that the spatial consistency of the data produced by the model improved compared with that produced by the Modified Korean PRISM. It is expected that the PRISM-KNU and its output will be utilized in various studies in the future.

Soil ecology has important roles in global ecosystems. However, soil ecological quality information is being ignored when assessing ecological impact of construction actions. And methods for classifying and assessing soil ecological quality have been very little established in comparison to those for animal and plant ecosystems. In this study, it was examined whether soil ecological quality information has influence on determining an eco-friendly route for a road construction project. For this, sensitivity analysis was systematically performed by varying the relative significance (weights) of soil ecological quality information among natural environmental and ecological factors. When the weight of soil ecological quality was greater than just 14%, the soil ecological quality information significantly influenced the determination of the eco-friendly routes for a specific road construction project. This demonstrates that soil ecological quality information has to be considered for more reliable environmental impact assessment, and also supports the validity of use of soil ecological quality information and its mapping technique in planning and siting of eco-friendly construction projects.

An increasing frequency and intensity of natural disasters have been observed due to climate change. To better prepare for these, the MOIS (ministry of the interior and safety) announced a comprehensive plan for minimizing damages associated with natural disasters, including drought and heavy snowfall. The spatial-temporal pattern of snowfall is greatly influenced by temperature and geographical features. Heavy snowfalls are often observed in Gangwon-do, surrounded by mountains, whereas less snowfall is dominant in the southern part of the country due to relatively high temperatures. Thus, snow depth data often contains zeros that can lead to difficulties in the selection of probability distribution and estimation of the parameters. A generalized mixture distribution approach to a maximum snow depth series over the southern part of Korea (i.e., Changwon, Tongyeoung, Jinju weather stations) are located is proposed to better estimate a threshold (𝛿) classifying discrete and continuous distribution parts. The model parameters, including the threshold in the mixture model, are effectively estimated within a Bayesian modeling framework, and the uncertainty associated with the parameters is also provided. Comparing to the Daegwallyeong weather station, It was found that the proposed model is more effective for the regions in which less snow depth is observed.

Landslides are caused by complex interaction among a large number of interrelated factors such as topography, geology, forest and soils. In this study, a comparative study was carried out using fuzzy relationship method and artificial neural network to evaluate landslide susceptibility. For landslide susceptibility mapping, maps of the landslide occurrence locations, slope angle, aspect, curvature, lithology, soil drainage, soil depth, soil texture, forest type, forest age, forest diameter and forest density were constructed from the spatial data sets. In fuzzy relation analysis, the membership values for each category of thematic layers have been determined using the cosine amplitude method. Then the integration of different thematic layers to produce landslide susceptibility map was performed by Cartesian product operation. In artificial neural network analysis, the relative weight values for causative factors were determined by back propagation algorithm. Landslide susceptibility maps prepared by two approaches were validated by ROC(Receiver Operating Characteristic) curve and AUC(Area Under the Curve). Based on the validation results, both approaches show excellent performance to predict the landslide susceptibility but the performance of the artificial neural network was superior in this study area.

The objective of this study is to classify the characteristics of green landscapes in suburban cities and identify methods for managing them. The study site is Matsudo city in the outskirts of Tokyo, Japan. All the greenery in Matsudo was categorized into different landscape patterns using spatial analysis and field surveys. Afterwards, assessments of green landscapes were conducted using questionnaire surveys and factor analyses. There are a variety of green landscapes in Matsudo, formed by a number of different reasons such as urban planning, topographical characters and socio-cultural environments. Twenty different green landscape patterns were identified in Matsudo. The survey concluded that green landscape patterns of parks and rivers in Urbanization Control Areas are more attractive than patterns of farmland or forest in residential areas. Three major factors influenced perceptions: legibility, intimacy and the locality on the landscape assessment. Urban farmland and urban forest are two characteristics of suburban cities, and these green landscapes relate to intimacy or localities in a regional image. Finally, based on the results of this study, some implications were discussed for a green master plan and green landscape management.

As the 3D Greenery system is known to improve the urban environment, it works as new alternative for eco-friendly building and warrants further study for application to the domestic field. This study aimed to apply the design components for eco-friendly composition by investigating the spatial characteristics of the 3D Greenery System reflected in interior and exterior of buildings and to analyze the organization and design elements of domestic and foreign cases. The results showed that instances of the Greenery System tended to be a large scale and high-density development in order to expand various exterior spaces. Although its early forms were often found in such public facilities as exhibition and education purpose, cases of multi-unit dwelling have been growing. Allowing apartment residents to prefer intimate space by providing various such spaces for residential units and offering independent green spaces would induce diverse residents' lifestyles rather than monotonous design. The analysis also indicated that community space composed of various outdoor spaces and atmosphere would change life patterns of multi-housing and establish a real neighborhood through social interaction. Moreover, further investigation of the design patterns of outdoor space arrangement is needed since the Greenery system actively reflects the environmental characteristics of building sites and clearly shows a tendency to utilize natural terrain and slope in building shapes.

This study compared and reviewed the recognition determinants by applying the OECMs criteria, focusing on old big trees, plant of natural monument that are natural heritage under the national heritage system of the Cultural Heritage Administration, and the results are as follows. First, among the protected areas designated and managed by government agencies according to each protection purpose, it is necessary to actively introduce new conservation measures, OECMs, to fulfill the Biodiversity strategy for 2030 while the land area is already saturated. Second, the OECMs are geographically defined areas(CBD, 2018), not currently recognized as a protected areas, governed and managed in a way that achieves positived sustained and effective contribution to in situ conservation of biodiversity. Since the selection of term, the scope of application criteria, and the context of interpretation are inevitably different, it is necessary to separately legislate and establish related laws of the OECMs suitable for each country's situation. Third, as a result of reviewing the OECMs criteria for plant of natural monument, the final 58 potential resources were recognized. Important elements among the OECMs criteria are that buffer zones should be spaced apart from designated zones to secure a certain area, and that economic activities through commercial production should not occur and meet biodiversity standards. Among the potential candidates, 23 areas were analyzed to be geographically isolated and independent, such as Forest of Oriental Arborvitae in Do-dong, Daegu, and forest types such as Carstor Aralia of Gungchon-ri, Samcheok and Forest of Common Camellias in Maryang-ri, Seocheon. As a result of reviewing the application of OECMs criteria for plant of natural monument, it was confirmed that the functions as a traditional uses were specialized among the values of biodiversity, and ecosystem services and cultural and spiritual values were inherited through Korea's unique culture of old big trees and Dangsan ritual. In terms of biodiversity criteria, it can be used as an important factor in connecting human and natural ecosystem networks without the discovery of new species.

Landslides are known as gravitational mass movements that can carry the flow materials ranging in size from clay to boulders. The various types of landslides are differentiated by rate and depositional features. Indeed, flow characteristics are observed from very slow-moving landslides (e.g., mud slide and mud flow) to very fast-moving landslides (e.g., debris avalanches and debris flows). From a geomechanical point of view, shear-rate-dependent shear strength should be examined in landslides. This paper presents the design of advanced ring-shear apparatus to measure the undrained shear strength of debris flow materials in Korea. As updated from conventional ring-shear apparatus, this apparatus can evaluate the shear strength under different conditions of saturation, drainage and consolidation. We also briefly discussed on the ring shear apparatus for enforcing sealing and rotation control. For the materials with sands and gravels, an undrained ring-shear test was carried out simulating the undrained loading process that takes place in the pre-existing slip surface. We have observed typical evolution of shear strength that found in the literature. This paper presents the research background and expected results from the ring-shear apparatus. At high shear speed, a temporary liquefaction and grain-crushing occurred in the sliding zone may take an important role in the long-runout landslide motion. Strength in rheology can be also determined in post-failure dynamics using ring-shear apparatus and be utilized in debris flow mobility.

최근 홍수파 또는 댐 및 보 등의 하천구조물과, 본류와 지류의 합류로 인해 발생하는 배수영향 등으로 하천에 고리형 수위-유량관계가 나타나 수위-유량관계식의 신뢰도가 저하된다고 판단되는 대하천 본류와 합류부 인근 지류에서 초음파유속계 측정결과를 지표로 활용하는 자동유량장치가 현재 58개소에 도입되어 운용되고 있다. 그러나, 최근 4대강 사업으로 다기능보 설치 등 하천의 수리적 특성이 변동하였고, 지류에서 주로 운용되는 수위-유량관계 기반 유량관측소에 본류-지류합류로 인한 배수영향으로 고리형 수위-유량관계가 형성될 경우, 지류 수위관측소를 자동유량관측소로 대체할 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 또한, 기존 자동유량관측소의 경우 홍수량이 기준이하로 나타날 경우 수위-유량 관계식으로 대체하는 경우도 있는데 적용기준이 명확하지 않다. 본 연구에서는 신규 자동유량장치 설치, 기존 수위관측소의 자동유량관측소대체, 자동유량관측소에서 수위-유량관계곡선의 활용 기준 마련 등을 명확하게 판단하기 위해 고리형 수위-유량관계 패턴을 분석하고 배수영향구간을 산정하여 제시하고 지류 수위관측소의 존속여부, 유량자료의 적절성을 판단할 수 있는 방법론을 제시 하고자한다. 이를 위해, 다기능보 설치 및 지류-본류로 인한 지류하천의 배수영향과 홍수파에 의한 고리형 수위-유량관계의 양상을 다양한 수문사상에 대해 분석하였다. 분석방법으로는 대상유역을 선정하고, 대상유역에 대한 부정류 모형을 구축하기 위해 HEC-RAS 모형을 사용하고, 대상유역에 대한 HEC-RAS 지형자료와 유량입력자료를 구축한다. HEC-RAS 부정류 모형 구축 후 다양한 본류와 지류의 유량을 가정하여 고리형 수위-유량 발생 패턴을 분석한다. 지류-본류 합류 영향의 경우, 본류영향의 유무를 고려하여 상승된 수위의 비율로부터 일정 유의수준을 두어 배수영향구간을 산정한다. 다기능보의 영향은 다기능보 설치 전후를 가정하여 영향을 분석한다. 본 연구에서는 시범구역으로 하류에 창녕함안보가 위치한 낙동강과 합류하는 남강과 하류에 달성보가 위치한 낙동강과 합류하는 금호강을 대상하천으로 하여 위 분석방법을 적용하였다. 분석결과 남강의 경우 지류 유량이 작은 경우에도 본류 유량이 상대적으로 큰 경우 배수영향에 의한 고리형이 나타났고, 다기능보에 의한 배수영향은 매우 적은 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 지류의 유량이 큰 경우 홍수파에 의한 고리형 관계도 발생함을 알 수 있었다. 금호강의 경우 또한 마찬가지로 본류의 유량에 의해 발생하는 고려형 관계가 지배적임을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 95%의 유의 수준을 기반으로 고리형 발생 여부를 확일할 수 있는 모노그래프를 남강, 금호강에 대해 작성하여 수위-유량관계 기반 유량 산정의 적절성을 판단하는 기준으로 제안하였다.
