We investigated the characteristics of meteorological conditions related to the strong downslope wind over the leeward side of the Taebaek Mountains during the period 2005~2010. The days showing the strong wind exceeding $14ms^{-1}$ in Gangwon province were selected as study cases. A total of 15 days of strong wind were observed at Sokcho, Gangneung, Donghae, and Taebaek located over the Yeongdong region. Seven cases related to tropical cyclone (3 cases) and heavy snowfall (2 cases) and heavy rainfall (2 cases) over the Yeongdong region were excluded. To investigate the characteristics of the remaining 8 cases, we used synoptic weather chart, Sokcho radiosonde, Gangneung wind profiler and numerical model. The cases showed no precipitation (or ${\leq}1mm\;day^{-1}$). From the surface and upper level weather chart, we found the pressure distribution of southern high and northern low pattern over the Korean peninsula and warm ridge over the Yeongdong region. Inversion layer (or stable layer) and warm ridge with strong wind were located in about 1~3 km (925~700 hPa) over mountains. The Regional Data Assimilation and Prediction System (RDAPS) indicated that warm core and temperature ridge with horizontal temperature gradient were $0.10{\sim}0.23^{\circ}C\;km^{-1}$ which were located on 850 hPa pressure level above mountaintop. These results were summarized as a forecasting guidance of downslope windstorm in the Yeongdong region.

In this study, we developed a multi-sensor blending short-term rainfall forecasting technique using radar and satellite data during extreme rainfall occurrences in Busan and Gyeongnam region in August 2014. The Tropical Z-R relationship ($Z=32R^{1.65}$) has applied as a optimal radar Z-R relation, which is confirmed that the accuracy is improved during 20mm/h heavy rainfall. In addition, the multi-sensor blending technique has applied using radar and COMS (Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite) data for quantitative precipitation estimation. The very-short-term rainfall forecasting performance was improved in 60 mm/h or more of the strong heavy rainfall events by multi-sensor blending. AWS (Automatic Weather System) and MAPLE data were used for verification of rainfall prediction accuracy. The results have ensured about 50% or more in accuracy of heavy rainfall prediction for 1-hour before rainfall prediction, which are correlations of 10-minute lead time have 0.80 to 0.53, and root mean square errors have 3.99 mm/h to 6.43 mm/h. Through this study, utilizing of multi-sensor blending techniques using radar and satellite data are possible to provide that would be more reliable very-short-term rainfall forecasting data. Further we need ongoing case studies and prediction and estimation of quantitative precipitation by multi-sensor blending is required as well as improving the satellite rainfall estimation algorithm.

This study evaluated the long-term performance of RSR (Reinforced Subgrade for Railways) technology which increases the railway line capacity without the need for additional land. Its characteristics include the use of a short reinforcement with rigid wall, which make it possible to apply it in confined spaces. The 7m high and 40m long testbed employed to evaluate the long-term performance was designed and constructed near Jupo station on the Chang-hang line. This line, located close to a local bus route, had collapsed at the subgrade following heavy rainfall. The performance of the new type of subgrade was verified with long term measurements over a 2 year period including the surface and ground settlement, horizontal displacement of the wall, tensile strain of the reinforcement, and settlement of the rail top on the side track. Based on the results of the measurements made until now, we concluded that it had sufficient safety and serviceability for use as a railway subgrade. It is expected that RSR technology could be frequently used at sites which lack the necessary construction materials for an embankment and are located close to functional railway lines and boundaries, in order to settle civil complaints.

집중호우시 농경지에서 발생하는 흙탕물은 수질 및 수생태계를 오염시키며, 환경오염에 따른 사회·경제적 문제를 지속적으로 초래하고 있다. 정부와 지자체는 흙탕물 발생이 심각한 지역을 '비점오염원관리지역'으로 지정·고시하여 흙탕물 저감사업을 추진하였으나, 뚜렷한 성과를 나타내지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 최근 정부의 흙탕물 저감사업은 저감시설 설치 등과 같은 구조적 방법에서 발생원관리 중심으로 패러다임이 전환되고 있다. 농경지에서 발생하는 비점오염원의 발생원관리를 위해서는 주민들의 적극적인 참여가 필수적이나, 아직까지 주민들의 비점오염원에 대한 인식이 낮은 수준에 머무르고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 주민참여 거버넌스를 구축하여 주민들의 인식을 개선하고, 주민들의 참여를 유도하여 농촌지역 실정에 맞는 주민참여형 농업비점오염 관리의 기반을 마련하고자 하였다. 연구대상지는 강원도 비점오염원관리지역인 가아지구 내 강원도 인제군 인제읍 가아2리 마을일원으로, 본 연구의 참여농가는 총 10농가, 참여농지 면적은 21.81 ha이다. 참여농가를 대상으로2022년 10월 9일, 10월 16일, 10월 23일 총 3회에 걸쳐 주민 교육을 실시하였으며, 주기적인 설문조사를 통해 교육 진행에 따른 주민 인식 변화를 측정하였다. 설문조사는 교육참여자를 대상으로 3회 실시하였으며, 농업비점오염 개념, 최적관리기법의 이해, 비점오염저감 활동참여 의지에 관한 내용으로 구성하였다. 설문조사 점수에 대한 기준은 전혀아니다(1점), 그렇지않다(2점), 보통이다(3점), 그렇다(4점), 매우 그렇다(5점)로 선정하였다. 설문조사 결과 농업비점오염원의 대한 이해도는 1차 62점, 2차 66점, 3차 80점, 최적관리기법의 이해도는 1차 59점, 2차 64점, 3차 75점, 비점오염저감 활동참여 의지도는 1차 61점, 2차 73점, 3차 80점으로 나타났다. 1차 설문조사 결과 대비 3차설문조사 결과 농업비점오염의 개념 및 최적관리기법의 이해도는 22.5, 21.3% 증가하는것으로 분석되었으며, 비점오염저감 활동참여 의지도는 23.8% 증가하는 것으로 분석되었다. 조사 결과와 같이 교육을 통해 주민들의 인식이 전환된 것으로 분석되었으며, 비점오염원 저감활동에 대한 의지가 표준 이상으로 나타나 주민 참여 거버넌스 구축 연구를 통해 실질적인 농촌 비점오염 관리가 가능할 것이라 기대된다.
