The rainfall characteristics such as heavy rains are changing differently from the past, and uncertainties are also greatly increasing due to climate change. In addition, urban development and population concentration are aggravating flood damage. Since the causes of urban inundation are generally complex, it is very important to establish an appropriate flood prevention plan. Thus, the government in Korea is establishing standards for disaster prevention performance for each local government. Since the concept of the disaster prevention performance target was first presented in 2010, the setting standards have changed several times, but the overall technology, methodology, and procedures have been maintained. Therefore, in this study, studies and technologies related to urban disaster prevention performance were reviewed using the scientometric analysis method to review them. This analysis is a method of identifying trends in the field and deriving new knowledge and information based on data such as papers and literature. In this study, papers related to the disaster prevention performance of the Web of Science for the last 30 years from 1990 to 2021 were collected. Citespace, scientometric software, was used to identify authors, research institutes, countries, and research trends, including citation analysis. As a result of the analysis, consideration factors such as the the concept of asset evaluation were identified when making decisions related to urban disaster prevention performance. In the future, it is expected that prevention performance standards and procedures can be upgraded if the keywords are specified and the review of each technology is conducted.

The purpose of this study is to improve the short term rainfall forecast skill using neural network model that can deal with the non-linear behavior between satellite data and ground observation, and minimize the flood damage. To overcome the geographical limitation of Korean peninsula and get the long forecast lead time of 3 to 6 hour, the developed rainfall forecast model took satellite imageries and wide range AWS data. The architecture of neural network model is a multi-layer neural network which consists of one input layer, one hidden layer, and one output layer. Neural network is trained using a momentum back propagation algorithm. Flood was estimated using rainfall forecasts. We developed a dynamic flood inundation model which is associated with 1-dimensional flood routing model. Therefore the model can forecast flood aspect in a protected lowland by levee failure of river. In the case of multiple levee breaks at main stream and tributaries, the developed flood inundation model can estimate flood level in a river and inundation level and area in a protected lowland simultaneously.

On July 8, 1977, 432mm of precipitation which is the largest daily storm in Korea fell on the city of Anyang where a nearby suburban community of Seoul. Average storm intensities of 90mm per hour were recorded during the period from 1900~2200 hours on this date. Area of landslides triggered by this storm is about 96 hectares resulting from 1,876 places within about 12,600 hectares of the watershed studied. These hazards injured hundreds of human lives and took 122 human lives. Rail and highway systems were disrupted and about 30 hectares of rice paddies were washed away and hundreds of hectares were inundated. About 500 houses were destroyed. The objectives of this study are (a) to describe the problem areas, identifying critical factors causing the landslide hazards including earth and stone-debris avalanches, (b) suggest measures which might enhance the effectiveness of stabilization measures, and (c) also suggest the landslide and flood damage prevention methods from the point view of the upper-watershed conservation techniques in Anyang hollow-basin.

The steep-sloped agricultural land was severely damaged by rainfall events during July and August every year. The objective of this study was to investigate an effects of intensive rainfall to the soil properties of the steep-sloped agricultural land. Survey sites including the Sacheon myeon area were located in Gangneung, those were severely damaged from a forest fire in April 2000. Surveys were taken at these sites after two years of forest fire and severe rainfall events in August 2002, which included an event that poured with 870 mm of rainfall in a day. After this storm, soil erosion, burying, and flooding were observed. Severe soil loss was found at lower soil-depths, greater slopes, longer slope lengths, and concave landscapes. Soil loss and land slides were often found at areas with having a coarser textures, higher bulk densities, lower water holding capacity, and lower rates of soil aggregation. Crop growth stagnation was found at the site of crop restoration because of low soil fertility and poor drainage caused by the abrupt textural changes. In conclusion, it is necessary to manage the steep-slope agricultural land based on environmental impact assessment data of macro morphological and physical characteristics by intensive rainfall.

Recently climate change and increase of surface runoff caused the urban flooding. Traditional way of dealing with urban flooding has been to increase the sewer capacity or construction of pumping stations, however, it is practically almost impossible because of time, money and traffic problems. Multipurpose DRMS (Decentralized Rainwater Management System) is a new paradigm proposed and recommended by NEMA (National Emergency Management Agency) for both flood control and water conservation. Suwon City has already enacted the ordinance on sound water cycle management by DRMS. In this study, a flood prone area in Suwon is selected and analysis of DRMS has been made using XP-SWMM for different scenarios of RT installation with same total rainwater tank volume and location. Installing one rainwater tank of 3,000$m^3$ can reduce the peak flow rate by 15.5%. Installing six rainwater tanks of 500$m^3$ volume in the area can reduce the peak flow rate by 28%. Three tanks which is concentrated in the middle region can reduce peak rate more than evenly distributed tanks. The method and results found from this study can be used for the design and performance prediction of DRMS at a flood prone area by supplementing the existing sewer system without increase of the sewer capacity.

In recent decade, the occurrences of typhoon and severe storm events are increasing trend due to the climate change. And the intensity of natural disaster is more and more stronger and the loss of life and damage of property are also increasing. Therefore, this study tried to understand the impact of climate change on urban drainage system for prevention and control of natural disaster and for this, we selected Gyeyang-gu, Incheon city as a study area. We investigated the climate models and scenarios for the selection of proper model and scenario, then we estimated frequency based rainfall in hourly unit considering climate change. The XP-SWMM model was used to estimate the future flood discharge on urban drainage system using the estimated frequency based rainfall. As a result, we have known that the study area will be overflown in the future and so we may need prepare proper measures for the flood prevention and control.

This study is to review the site of Seoul and its urbanized area expansion in relation with a geomorphic environments. Surveying on the urbanized area of Seoul by period and related geomorphic conditions found the following conclusions. Seoul urbanized area had been expanded from the cheonggyecheon drainage basin to its surrounding hills and marshland. The marshland development began during the Japanese period from around the tributaries of the Hangang river and expanded to the areas by the main stream of the river. The extensive marshland at the point where the main stream and its tributaries of the river join has been developed relatively new. The marshland development, which took advanced engineering skills and a huge investment, is comparatively later and also involves large additional expenses to keep the areas from food damages. Judging from the above findings, this study concluded that the urbanized area expansions in a big metropolitan city such as Seoul, are greatly influenced by geomorphic environments and the importance of geomorphic conditions still hold true even today when scientific and technological developments have reached unprecedented heights.

EAP, which is operated on the frame of Risk Alarm 4-stage of National Risk Management Guideline, is a critical method in order to promptly respond to disasters. Korea Flood Control Office issues major and moderate flood alarm at each river station by respectively 50% and 70% of design flood discharge in terms of watermark or sea level, however, the criteria deciding major and moderate floods are vague for field managers to control the disaster situations. On the other hand, Japan and USA use river water level as a main criterion in order to classify the stage of flood disaster, which is higher design flood level than Korea. Thus, the authors analyzed domestic and oversea EAP guidelines and suggested improved criteria showing easy display method and raising the criteria of flood level for reflecting more effective action plans through testing a simulation training on the test-bed.

도시지역에서 강우발생 시 우수는 대부분 도로를 통해 이동하고 배수된다. 도로의 배수시설은 도로면의 안전을 확보하기 위한 목적뿐만 아니라 도로 이외의 지역에 흐르는 유출수를 배수시키는 기능도 포함하고 있다. 현재 우리나라의 도로배수는 빗물받이와 횡유입부를 통해 대부분 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 배수시설이 제 기능을 충분히 발휘하지 못하면 노면수가 정체되고, 노면수가 인근 주택가로 유입되어 침수피해를 가중시키는 경우도 있고, 교통의 원활한 흐름을 저해하게 된다. 도로배수시설의 설계 시 설계빈도에 상위하도록 충분한 여유를 두고 설치하더라도 부유잡물 등에 의해 그 효율이 저하될 수도 있다. 또한 배수시설을 통해 배수되는 초기 유출수는 많은 비점오염원을 포함하고 있고, 이러한 오염원이 하천으로 유입되어 하천수 및 저수지를 오염시킬 수도 있다. 본 연구에서는 배수시설 중 빗물받이의 효율개선과 비점오염원을 처리할 수 있는 비노출배수로에 대하여 수리실험을 실시하고 효과를 검토하였다. 이를 위해 폭 2.4 m, 길이 10.0 m의 실험도로를 제작하였고, 유입유량을 증가시켜가며 배수효율을 확인하였다. 또한 흙탕물을 유입시켜 비노출 배수로를 통해 배수시킨 후 유입수와 유출수의 부유물질, BOD, $COD_{Mn}$, TN, TP의 량을 측정하고 변화를 확인하였다. 이때 비점오염원처리를 위한 여과재료로는 제오라이트를 이용하였다. 실험결과 실험도로의 측면에 비노출 배수로를 설치하였을 경우 도로위에 수심이 거의 발생하지 않으면서 배출할 수 있는 최대 유량은 2.29 l/s였고, 서울시를 기준으로 설계빈도 10년에 대하여 본 연구의 실험도로 규격에서의 유출량이 1.09 l/s임을 고려할 때 10년 빈도 강우강도 발생 시 비노출 배수로가 충분한 여유를 가지고 배수 시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 본 실험도로의 규격에서 2.29 l/s의 유출량이 발생하기 위한 강우강도는 서울시를 기준으로 100년 빈도에 상위하는 강우강도로 비노출 배수로에 막힘이 없는 경우 100년 빈도의 강우시에도 노면수 배출이 가능하였다. 쓰레기와 모래와 같은 부유잡물이 배수로를 막고 있다 하더라고 배수효율 저하는 크게 발생하지 않았다. 또한 BOD와 $COD_{Mn}$의 농도는 유입수와 비교하여 30%이상의 제거 효율을 보였다. 특히 부유물질의 경우 제거효율이 50 %인 것으로 검토되어 본 연구의 비노출 배수로가 초기우수의 오염원제거에 효과가 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Recently, disaster accidents have occurred frequently over the world, and disaster have been continuously studied using remote sensing due to large scale and hard-to-reach features. The collapse of Laos Xe pian-Xe namnoy dam in 2018 also caused a lot of human and economic damage. This study's purpose is to change detect water system due to the collapse of Xe pian-Xe namnoy dam in Laos and to derive areas where future flooding is expected. The water system is extracted from each image of KOMPSAT-5 before and after the dam collapse in order to quantitatively change detect in the water system. The result of the water system area increased more than 10 times after the dam collapse. In addition, it is confirmed that the newly created water system is thickly created in areas of low altitude area. This study result can be used in the future to systematize the pre-response to abnormalities and issues in existing operating dams. And then, if combined with other remote sensing data, more diverse and specific results could be obtained.
