This study is about an analysis of the relation between the degree of cognition of student's acts within limits when coping with several types of disaster and the degree of cognition of damage by disasters in the method of multiple regression analysis. The dependent variable is the degree of cognition of student's acts within limits and the independent variable is the degree of cognition of damage by disasters such as heavy snow, typhoon, heavy rain, heat, and yellow sand. A survey of graduates of metropolitan area high-schools has found that there are no difference between girls and boys of the degree of cognition of student's acts within limits when coping with disasters. This study finds that the independent variable, which are playgrounds, animals and plants, streets and roads, altitude and incline, gives positive effect to the degree of cognition of student's acts within limits when coping with typhoon or heavy rain in order. The study also finds that the degree of cognition of student's acts within limits when coping with heavy snow is affected positively by streets and roads, playgrounds, altitude and incline in order. It also shows that there are factors that has an effect to the degree of cognition of student's acts within limits when coping with yellow sand and heat. This study proposes suggestions to facility plans based on these facts discovered.

Among natural disasters that lead to devastating damage, floods from heavy rains have been causing hundreds of victims and a great loss of their properties every year. Basically, there is no other way to deal with the problem considering the characteristics of natural disaster, but more specific studies for a preventive measure of flood has been in progress so far. However, the controversy over the problem is going on due to the objection of some environmental organizations or some economic reasons. The key point is to select the most likely area for a preventive measure of floods where a huge amount of the national budget is put into it. This is the factor which judges whether it would be a success or failure. This study aims to provide some basic data for deciding the priority order in a disaster preventing plan by drawing more potential damage areas from the connection with GIS and using them into the economic analysis for flood prevention industries.

Once drought occurs, it results in the extensive affected area and considerable socio-economic damages. Thus, it is necessary to assess drought risk and to prepare its counterplans. In this study, using various observation data on meteorological and socio-economical factors, drought risk was evaluated in South Korea. To quantify drought risk, Drought Hazard Index (DHI) was calculated based on the occurrence probability of drought, and Drought Vulnerability Index (DVI) was computed to reflect socio-economic consequences of drought. Drought Risk Index (DRI) was finally suggested by combining DHI and DVI. These indices were used to assess drought risk for different administrative districts of South Korea. The overall results show that the highest drought risk area was Jeolla Province where agricultural practice is concentrated. The drought risk map proposed in this study reflects regional characteristics, thus it could be utilized as a basic data for the establishment of drought preventive measures.

A local rain that is concentrated in specific area in a short time frequently occurs due to recent abnormal weather. To prevent potential flood disasters, therefore, it is necessary to be established to the flood control system. Checking the river design standard, however, hydrologic design frequency of water gate is only marked as over 20 years, so this fact shows that the standard is unclear. The inland inundation modeling considering the stage in a river and quantitative assessment are required to reduce flood damage. The simulation for internal inundation is very complex and is time-consuming due to considering hydraulic hydrology characteristics at the same time. Using the already established river master plan, consequently, this study proposed the simple and convenient method for assessment of the internal inundation simulation. Using the proposed method in the upper and middle regions of a river, influences for design frequency or water gate location were assessed by applying the nine probability precipitation with design frequency and by targeting the water gates which are installed in five inlands.

Recently, natural disasters like flooding damages have frequently occurred as to typhoons and local downpours affected by the climate changes. Many researches have actively been studied in analysing runoff models, the verification of their parameters, and the inflow on surfaces in order to lessen the damages. However, much time and effort needs in generating input files of the models in most current researches. Therefore, in this paper we develop a system for generating a simulation input data automatically. This system is connected to the EPA-SWMM based on the spatial data in the UIS systems and consists the simulation module for analysing urban flooding and the SWMM simulator module. Also, we construct a prototype using a range of regular inundation to generate a simulation input file. This system gives advantages showing inundation areas based on the map viewer as well as lessening errors of input data and simulation time.

Heavy rainfall induces many disasters including slope failure and infrastructure collapse. In this point of view, rainfall-simulated centrifugal model test can be a reasonable tool to evaluate the stability of geotechnical structure. In order to obtain the displacements of a model in centrifugal model test, in general, LVDT and laser displacement sensor are used. However, when the rainfall is simulated, the LVDT has the problem of excessive infiltration into the model ground, and the laser displacement sensor provides the measuring result with inaccuracy due to the dispersion of the laser radiation. Hence, in this study, horizontal displacement sensor for rainfall-simulated centrifugal model test was developed. This sensor produced with a thin elastic steel plate and gave the accurate relationship between the displacement and the strain.

This research proposes strategies about providing detour route information and traffic management for flood disasters. Suggested strategies are based on prevention and preparation concepts including prediction, optimization, and simulation in order to minimize damage. Specifically, this study shows the possibility that average travel speed is increased by proper signal progression during downpours or heavy snowfalls. In addition, in order to protect the drivers and vehicles from dangerous situations, this study proposes a route guidance strategy based on variational inequalities such as flooding. However, other roads can have traffic congestion by the suggested strategies. Thus, this study also shows the possibility to solve traffic congestion of other roads in networks with emergency signal modes.

최근 기상이변과 국지성 호우로 인한 홍수피해를 경감하기 위해 국가차원과 더불어 지역단위의 홍수방어대책이 많은 사업을 통해 제시되고 있다. 대표적인 예로 풍수해저감종합계획과 하천기본계획 등을 들 수 있는데 이러한 사업들은 실제 피해지역에 대한 원인과 대책을 제시함과 동시에 홍수 등의 피해가 예상되는 위험지역에 대해서도 그 원인과 대책을 제시해야한다. 따라서 피해발생이 예상되는 지역을 예측하고 그 원인을 찾는데 있어 최근 홍수범람해석에 대한 필요성이 점차적으로 증대되면서 다양한 해석모형과 프로그램들이 개발되었고 현재까지도 홍수범람분석에 관한 활발한 연구들이 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 홍수범람구역을 결정하기 위한 과정은 GIS Tool에 대한 이해도 부족, 원 자료의 부족, 지형 구축을 위한 자료생성의 어려움 등과 같은 다양한 문제점들을 내포하고 있다. 특히, 홍수범람구역의 결정을 위한 전산프로 그램의 기능향상은 점차 향상되는데 비해 지형구축 등과 같은 범람해석 프로세스 내에서 상당한 수작업이 요구되는 바 작업소요시간이 많이 요구되는 단점으로 인해 실무자들에게 널리 적용되는데 있어 걸림돌이 되고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 실무적 관점에서 홍수범람해석의 요구빈도가 높은 중소규모 자연하천을 대상으로 두가지 해석 기법을 통하여 홍수범람해석을 수행하여 해석 과정 및 결과 등을 비교하였다. 첫 번째 기법으로 홍수범람해석을 수행하는데 있어 실용성, 신속성 등이 고려된다고 판단되는 Civil 3D를 이용하여 수치지형도 및 측량자료와 같은 원 자료로부터 3D 지형을 구축하고 Civil 3D의 Extension 프로그램인 HEC-RAS Tool과 1차원 수리모형인 HEC-RAS를 전 후처리에 연계함으로서 각 대상유역별, 빈도별 홍수위에 따른 홍수범람구역과 수심 및 범람지역을 우선적으로 분석하였다. 두 번째 기법으로서 실무에서 주로 이용되고 있는 ArcGIS를 이용하여 3D 지형을 구축하고 Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC)와 Environmental Systems Research Institute(ESRI)의 협력개발로 개발된 HEC-GeoRAS와 HEC-RAS 모형을 전 후처리에 연계하여 홍수범람해석을 수행하였다. 이들 두 가지 기법을 통한 홍수범람해석의 과정과 결과에 대해 정량적, 정성적 비교를 수행하였으며, 두 기법간의 차이점 및 효율성을 제시하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 보다 실용적이면서도 정밀한 홍수범람구역의 결정, 홍수범람 예상도 등의 재해지도 작성, 치수경제성 분석 등에 있어 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

This study is performed to consider the threshold values of heavy rain warning in Korea using 98 surface meteorological station data and 590 Automatic Weather System stations (AWSs), damage data of National Emergency Management Agency for the period of 2005 to 2009. It is in need to arrange new criteria for heavy rain considering concept of rainfall intensity and rainfall damage to reflect the changed characteristics of rainfall according to the climate change. Rainfall values from the most frequent rainfall damage are at 30 mm/1 hr, 60 mm/3 hr, 70 mm/6 hr, and 110 mm/12 hr, respectively. The cumulative probability of damage occurrences of one in two due to heavy rain shows up at 20 mm/1 hr, 50 mm/3 hr, 80 mm/6 hr, and 110 mm/12 hr, respectively. When the relationship between threshold values of heavy rain warning and the possibility of rainfall damage is investigated, rainfall values for high connectivity between heavy rain warning criteria and the possibility of rainfall damage appear at 30 mm/1 hr, 50 mm/3 hr, 80 mm/6 hr, and 100 m/12 hr, respectively. It is proper to adopt the daily maximum precipitation intensity of 6 and 12 hours, because 6 hours rainfall might be include the concept of rainfall intensity for very-short-term and short-term unexpectedly happened rainfall and 12 hours rainfall could maintain the connectivity of the previous heavy rain warning system and represent long-term continuously happened rainfall. The optimum combinations of criteria for heavy rain warning of 6 and 12 hours are 80 mm/6 hr or 100 mm/12 hr, and 70 mm/6 hr or 110 mm/12 hr.
