This study developed a verification and certification method of technologies of green infrastructure (GI) and low impact development (LID) that gained interest recently. The outdoor testbed used in this study consisted of a building type, a road type, a parking lot type, a rain garden type and a bioretention type. Indoor test facilities were ready for testing using hydrology efficient analysis, pavement and soil analysis and water environment analysis. The development of outdoor and indoor test facilities were used to certify the efficiency of GI & LID technologies, and this was expected to contribute to the activation of the related projects by providing reliable data for the application of GI & LID techniques.

To evaluate the possibility of charcoal as Green Infrastructure (GI) materials, data such as moisture content, amount of adsorbed water, and amount of evaporation were collected. Some data from previous study were referenced to find out if correlations exist between results in this study and previous study. Only porosity was directly related to moisture content. Two mechanical charcoal had better abilities than traditional charcoal in all three categories. Mechanical black charcoal chips produced by National Forestry Cooperative Federation (NFCFC) adsorbed 333.3% of water in thirty minutes, 297.5% in five minutes, and evaporated around 75% water in four days. This ability is much higher than other five charcoal. Even though results of test showed various degrees and NFCFC was the best as GI materials, data of charcoal were also within acceptable range based on generally accepted characteristics of GI materials.

Nowadays, stormwaters have been affected by urbanization and climate change. These transition can cause many problems for hydrologic cycle by increasing runoff volume like flood and low water quality. As with other metropolises and peninsulas, Busan has involved with these problems too. Therefore, it is really vital to do some arrangements to solve them by low impact development (LID) technology. In fact, LID has been introduced to reduce runoff by applying some techniques such as green infrastructure (GI). In order to deal with the aforementioned issues in Busan, this study attempts to design and construct a hybrid green roof-planter box system at Pusan National University GI/LID Facility based on local weather. For this purpose, we used experiment and modeling method on some planter boxes and optimized them by trial and error method.

도시화는 도시 호우 유출 발생으로 인한 수질 악화를 초래했고 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 보다 정확한 설계를 위해 그린인프라(Green Infrastructure, GI)의 구조적 특성과 수문학적인 특성을 이용해 어떤 인자들이 설계에 필요한지 상관관계를 통해 분석하였다. GI의 종류 중 저류지와 저류연못의 총부유사량(Total Suspended Solids, TSS)와 총인 (Total Phosphorous, TP)의 유입수, 유출수, 비점오염원 농도, 수문학적인 특성 그리고 GI의 구조적 특성을 Ordinary Least Squares regression(OLS)과 Multi Linear Regression(MLR) 방법을 적용하였다. GI의 구조적인 특성은 한 BMP마다 달라지지 않으나 호우사상의 데이터 개수에 의한 편향이 있을 수 있다. 이런 문제를 해결하기 위해 일정한 범위를 가지고 무작위로 데이터를 추출하는 방법과 이상치를 제외하는 방법을 사용하여 모델에 적용하였다. 이러한 OLS와 MLR 모델들의 정확도를 PBIAS(Percent Bias), NSE(Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency), RSR(RMSE-observations standard deviation ratio)을 통해 분석할 수 있다. 연구 결과 유입수의 비점오염원의 농도뿐만 아니라 수문학적 특성과 GI의 구조적 특성이 함께 들어갈 시 더 좋은 상관관계를 가지고 있음을 알 수 있다. 저류지가 저류연못보다 모델의 성능평가 면에서 좋은 값을 가지고 있지만 특성별 상관관계는 저류연못이 더 뚜렷한 결과를 보여준다.

Cities in Korea have rapidly urbanized and they are not well prepared for natural disasters which have been increased by climate change. In particular, they often struggle with urban flooding. Recently, green infrastructure has been emphasized as a critical strategy for flood mitigation in developed countries due to its capability to infiltrate water into the ground, provide the ability to absorb and store rainfall, and contribute to mitigating floods. However, in Korea, green infrastructure planning only focuses on esthetic functions or accessibility, and does not think how other functions such as flood mitigation, can be effectively realized. Based on this, we address this critical gap by suggesting the new green infrastructure planning framework for improving urban water cycle and maximizing flood mitigation capacity. This framework includes flood vulnerability assessment for identifying flood risk area and deciding suitable locations for green infrastructure. We propose the use of the combination of frequency ratio model and GIS for flood vulnerability assessment. The framework also includes the selection process of green infrastructure practices under local conditions such as geography, flood experience and finance. Finally, we applied this planning framework to the case study area, namely YeonJe-gu an Nam-gu in Busan. We expect this framework will be incorporated into green infrastructure spatial planning to provide effective decision making process regarding location and design of green infrastructure.

We've compared and conceptually evaluated the newly emerging concept of nature-based solutions (NbS's), in the aspect of water management, and existing similar solutions of different naming, all of which are based on ecosystem functions. In this study, it is found that NbS's seem significant and meaningful both educationally and understandably in the aspect that it can comprehensively cover and include the existing methodologies and solutions using the functions of natural ecosystem to socio-environmental challenges. It, however, seems not quite different from the broad-meaning of green infra, including Eco-DRR, in terms of the approaching methodologies in water management. The conceptual and spatial hierarchy of each practice in water management considered in this study can be expressed in the narrowing order of NbS-(EE)-BGI-(CRT)-GI-LID. Last, the term LID, which is the best management practice for storm water management in the development project, can be replaced with the term GI for clarification and less confusion both in academia and practice.

최근 기후변화로 발생되는 폭우, 강풍 등의 기상현상으로 인해 하천범람, 내수침수, 해수범람 등 특히 해안도시지역에서의 물 문제는 날로 심화되고 있다. 이에 정부에서는 저영향개발(Low Impact Development, LID) 사업 및 친환경그린인프라(Green Infrastructure, GI) 기술요소의 적용확대를 추진하고 있다. 이에 환경부에서는 환경기술개발사업의 일환으로 '그린인프라 제도/정책 및 재원관리의 선진화(2021)' 연구용역을 통해 관련 추진체계 구축, 제도 개선방안 등을 모색하였다. 해당 연구에서는 기존의 LID 및 GI 관련 정책·제도 개선, 강우유출수 관리목표 설정방안, 투수/불투수도 제작 지침 마련, 시민인식조사 등을 통해 그린인프라 확대를 위한 과학적 근거 및 통합관리제도를 마련하였다. 이와 더불어 2013년부터 도시지역의 우수유출 저감, 물순환 구조 개선, 비점오염원 관리를 위해 '그린빗물인프라(Green Stormwater Infrastructure, GSI) 조성 사업'을 추진하여 국비지원을 지속하고 있다. 'GSI 조성사업'은 2014년 공공청사 중심에서 학교, 도서관, 체육시설, 공원 등 적용 범위를 확대 하고 있는 추세이나, 수도권지역과 물순환선도도시 조성사업이 진행중인 5개 지역(김해시, 광주시, 안동시, 울산시, 대전시)을 제외한 각 지자체에서는 실효성 있는 추진체계 및 가이드라인 부존 등의 문제로 적용에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이에 경상남도는 지역적 특성을 반영한 GSI 조성 추진체계 마련을 목표로 본 연구용역을 추진하였으며, GSI 관련 국내외 현황조사, GSI 조성을 위한 공공청사의 우선순위 선정, 지형적(토지피복, 토양형 등), 기상학적 현황을 토대로 한 우선순위 선정, 이를 통합한 경남형 GSI 조성 추진체계를 제시하고자 한다.

This study is to develop a GSTM (Green infrastructure Surface Temperature Measurment) equipment for reducing the surface temperature of GI by using LID Method. The tests were conducted including GI products such as Greening block, Pervious Block, Soil Block and so on. The GSTM equipment developed by considering the literature surveys are characterized as follows. The non-contact infrared temperature sensor was used to measure the surface temperature, and it was improved to measure the overall average temperature including the center and the corner temperature of the specimen. The developed GSTM equipment was used to compare performance of asphalt and GI products. As a result, the Greening Block show a high difference of $18.4^{\circ}C$ and it contributes to the decrease of surface temperature.

Due to the global climate change, the rainfall volume and frequency on the Korean Peninsula are predicted to increase at the end of the 21st century. In addition, impervious surface areas have increased due to rapid urbanization which has caused the urban water cycle to deteriorate. Green Infrastructure (GI) researches have been conducted to improve the water cycle soundness; the efficiency of this technique has been verified through various studies. However, there are still no suitable GI design guidelines for this aspect. Therefore, the rainfall scenarios are set up for each percentile (60, 70, 80, 90) based on the volume and frequency analysis using 10-year rainfall data (Busan Meteorological Station). After determining the GI areas for each scenario, the runoff reduction characteristics are analyzed based on Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) 10-year rainfall-runoff-simulations. The total runoff reduction efficiency for each GI areas are computed to have a range of 13.1~52.1%. As a results of the quantitative analysis, the design rainfall for GI is classified into the 80~85 percentile in the study site.
