Researches on method for quantitative analysis applied with decision-making in consideration of variation in risk factors based on GIS(Geographic Information System) concluded as follows. Firstly, by way of decision-making in consideration of variation in risk factors, quantitative analysis performed for the existing route was applied to the new route, which would bring about reliable criteria in route planning and basic design stage. Secondly, horizontal and vertical alignment were easily available out of GIS for relatively speedy design and analysis with three dimensional alignment by decision-making in route planning. Thirdly, automation of route alignment is possible by utilizing quantitative evaluation system established in this research so that a risk analysis can be carried out in a relatively short time. Therefore it will eventually contribute to further development of road design technology.

This study aims to categorize the daily time use of older adults into different types, examine the factors influencing them and the differences between them by type, and verify the effect of each type on life satisfaction. From the 6th wave of the Korea Retirement and Income Study (KeRIS), analysis was conducted on 3,963 older adults aged 65 (n=3,963). Using Latent Profile Analysis (LPA), three types of daily time use for older adults were identified: basic life maintenance type (16%), free-leisure oriented type (26%), and social activity type (58%). From the results of multinomial logistic regression analysis to identify the factors influencing each type of daily time use, it was found that the main factors influencing free-leisure oriented type, when compared with basic life maintenance type, were the presence of spouse (p<.01) and psychological health status (p<.001). The main factors influencing social activity type, when compared with basic life maintenance type, were age (p<.05), economic activity (p<.001), and chronic disease (p<.001). The life satisfaction seen during free-leisure oriented time and social activity time was higher than that during basic life maintenance time. From these findings, practical and policy proposals were suggested to improve life satisfaction of older adults during basic life maintenance time by pursuing changes in the use of that time.

With the recent overcrowding of metropolitan cities and people's increasing interest in housing environment, there are frequent disputes occurring over the right to daylight. In order to determine whether daylight has been encroached accurately. we need to consider the daylight change by the effect of the geographical features of the surrounding areas but most of the previous relevant studies overlooked this consideration. Thus, in order to determine the encroachment of daylight accurately, this study analyzed the change in the duration of daylight according to geographical features by applying the Hemispherical Viewshed Algorithm to Busan Metropolitan City. According to the results of the analysis, the minimum and average duration of daylight decreased with an increase of altitude by 50m. Second, according to the time bound designated by law, up to 78.6% of the area was influenced by the duration of daylight. Third, the geographical features of the surrounding areas had a significant effect on the duration of daylight. Accordingly, in order to analyze the right to daylight accurately, it is essential to consider the geographical features of the surrounding areas. Furthermore, the Hemispherical Viewshed Algorithm used in this study and the visible area of the sky obtained from the algorithm are considered helpful to analyze the influence of the geographical features of surrounding areas on the legal duration of daylight before analyzing the practical right to daylight.

A waterfall is a channel unit with steep bedrock. No strict criteria for height, water volume, gradient to define waterfalls exist in Korea. The goal of our study is to classify waterfalls based on morphological forms which are the outcomes of developmental processes. The genesis of waterfall depends upon erosional properties of waterfall. The height, gradient, bedrock strength and stream power of waterfalls are regarded as the main factors, by which waterfalls can be classified. We find out that the most important factor for the development of waterfalls is joint system. Development of joint system varies depending on bedrocks. Flow directions and erosional types are decided by the density and direction of joint system in the bedrock, which also decide the height and gradient of stream bed. Joint type decides the gradients of the bed, gradient and height of waterfalls, therefore, decides morphological forms.

Highway design speed is a very important design element which determines highway design level. When determining highway design speed, one would estimate it utilizing the most likelihood of design speed and vehicle operating speed relationship. Existing operating speed prediction models only include highway geometric characteristics and their impacts on speed, which usually can not consider the impact of highway design speed on surrounding roadway environment and land use pattern. If this happens, excessive highway construction cost and huge environmental impact can occur. In this research project, a new vehicle operating speed prediction model was developed which can reflect the effect of surrounding roadway environment into vehicle speed prediction. The followings are the research findings : Firstly, highway terrain types and land use pattern on national roads were classified and integrated into drivers' visual recognition pattern. This was performed using a data management software. Secondly, the developed highway terrain types and land use pattern were related to vehicle speeds and it was found that there were significant statistical differences among vehicle speed for each different terrain and land use pattern. Thirdly. the General Linear Model analysis was employed to analyze the effects of highway geometric features, terrain types, and land use patterns. For two-lane highway and four-lane highway tested in this research project, it was found that R squares were 0.67 and 0.85, respectively. Additionally an optimal highway design speed range table, based on this research project. was proposed for practical use. This table can be reliably used on South Korean national road design, but discretion is required for applying this table to other types of highways including provincial roads and municipal roads.

The aim of this study is to analyze relationships between topography/geology which affects physically groundwater regime and groundwater yield properties in Pohang City using Geographic Information System (GIS). For the purpose, topographic factors such as ground elevation, ground elevation difference, ground slope, and ground regional slope, and hydrogeologic unit, and groundwater yield properties factors such as transmissivity, specific capacity, and well yield, were constructed to spatial data base. Then the relationships between topography, geology and groundwater yield properties were analyzed quantitatively using GIS overlay technique. As the results, ground-water yield of unconsolidated sediments and porous volcanic rocks is the highest among the hydrogeologic units of study area, and clastic sedimentary rock is the lowest. There are positive relationship between the elevation and elevation difference and the groundwater yield properties and negative relationship between the topographic slope and the groundwater yield properties.

지하수의 부존특성을 결정해주는 주 요인으로는 강수량, 증발량, 유출량, 지형, 수계, 토양, 식생 그리고 토지이용 등 여러 가지가 있으나, 무엇보다도 중요한 요인은 지하수를 저류시킬 수 있는 분포암석의 종류와 그 암석의 수문지질학적 특성이다. 우리나라는 퇴적암으로부터 화산암에 이르기까지 퍽 다양한 종류의 암석이 전국토를 형성하고 있어 지하수의 부존특성도 이러한 분포암석에 따라 특징지어진다. (중략)

수변식생(riparian vegetation)은 하천 지형학적 프로세스에 영향을 미치는 요인 중 하나로, 최근 기후변화와 더불어 중요성이 커지고 있다. 내성천은 사질 곡류 하천으로, 2014년과 2015년 유량 감소에 의해 급격한 식생의 정착이 나타났다. 내성천 수변식생의 정착 및 활착은 수문-지형학적 프로세스에 영향을 미쳤고, 결과적으로 하도와 범람원의 형태를 변화시켰다. 이와 같은 변화를 예측하고 분석하는 것은 이수, 치수 및 방재 정책과 생태계 사이의 균형 및 조화를 추구하는 정책결정에 필수적이다. 그러나 식생을 고려하지 않은 기존의 수문-지형 모델링에서는 이와 같은 변화를 재현할 수 없다. 본 연구의 목적은 흐름, 식생, 지형의 상호작용이 하천 지형에 미치는 영향을 시각화 및 분석하고, 식생을 고려하지 않은 기존의 모델들의 결과와 비교하고자 한다. 본 초록은 이를 위해 수문-지형학 모델인 D-Flow-FM을 수변 식생 모델과 결합한 커플링 모델(Van Oorschot et al., 2016)을 활용하여 내성천에서 2013년부터 2019년까지의 발생한 지형학적 프로세스와 식생 사이의 상호작용을 재현한 예비결과이다. 식생 모델 결과는 내성천 현장조사 자료와 원격탐사 자료를 이용해 검보정하였다. 식생을 고려한 모델의 하천 형태는 식생을 고려하지 않은 모델의 결과에 비해 좁고 깊은 형태로 나타났으며, 지형학적 변동성이 적게 나타났다. 이는 유량 변화와 관련하여 생태-지형학적 프로세스로 인한 수변 식생 변동성이 강의 형태에 영향을 미쳤다는 것을 보여준다. 모의된 하천의 형태학적 특성이나 식생의 분포 특성은 항공사진과 비교했을 때 준수한 수준이다. 본 모델은 기후변화에 따른 식생의 변동성이 하천에 미치는 영향을 연구하는 데에 활용할 수 있으며, 수문-생태-지형학적 프로세스에 의한 하천의 변화를 예측하고 분석하는 데에 유용하게 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

To investigate the causes of ground deformation around the Dogye coal waste depot in Samcheok city, Gangwon Province, we undertook a field survey and performed boring tests and a topographic analysis using maps compiled in various years. The results of boring tests and analyses of ground fractures indicate that the thickness of the soil layer ranges from 9 to 28.5 m and that ground deformation has occurred to the $240{\sim}250^{\circ}$ direction. The topographic analysis revealed that the topography of the site has changed continuously due to the dumping of coal waste. The causes of ground deformation, investigated by both field surveys and the topographic analysis, were the thick layer of soil at this site, the loading weight of coal waste, and the excavation at the lower part of the slope.
