Active stormwater management is essential to minimize the impact of urban development and improve the hydrological cycle system. In recent years, the Low Impact Development (LID) technique for urban stormwater management is attracting attention as a reasonable alternative. The Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) is actively used in urban hydrological cycle improvement projects as it provides simulation functions for various GI (Green Infra) facilities through its LID module. However, in order to simulate GI facilities using SWMM, there are many difficulties in setting up complex watersheds and deploying GI facilities. In this study, a model that can evaluate the performance of GI facilities is proposed while implementing the core hydrological process of GI facilities. Since the proposed model operates based on hydrological routing, it can not only reflect the infiltration, storage, and evapotranspiration of GI facilities, but also quantitatively evaluate the effect of improving urban hydrological cycle by GI facilities. The applicability of the proposed model was verified by comparing the results of the proposed model with the results of SWMM. In addition, a discussion of errors occurring in the SWMM's permeable pavement system simulation is included.

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.

IT산업은 '97년 외환위기를 기점으로 고성장을 거듭하였고, 세계 10위권 규모의 경제 강국으로 성장하는데 있어 국내 산업의 대표적인 성장동력으로서 자리 매김하였다. 하지만, 최근 성장률이 예전만 못하다는 우려의 목소리와 함께 IT가 한 단계 더 업그레이드하기 위해서는 자신의 허물을 과감히 벗는 용기가 필요하다는 것이 일반적인 시각이다. 이러한 흐름속에서 기존 IT전략과 차별화된 New IT 발전방안을 수립하게 되었다. 지금까지의 IT전략이 IT 고도화 추진을 위한 IT 중심 발전 전략이었다면, New IT전략은 IT기반 융합산업, IT융합 신산업, Next IT산업 등3대 성장축간 시너지 창출이 가능한 IT로의 수렴과 확산이 핵심이라고 할 수 있다. IT기반 융합산업의 최종 목표는 전통산업과 IT가 만나 자동차, 조선, 의료, 국방, 건설, 섬유, 기계항공 등 7개 주력기간산업의 고부가가치화 및 초일류화를 우선 실현하는 것이다. IT융합 신산업의 최종 목표는 나노(NT), 바이오(BT), 인지기술(CT) 등 비(非)IT와 교감을 통하여 IT가 에너지, 환경, 건강 등 사회적 문제를 해결하고, 녹색성장 추진의 핵심인 5대 신산업을 창출하는데 있다. 5대 신산업으로는 Green IT산업, Welfare-Infra산업, 감성조명산업, 인지단말산업, THz응용산업 등을 꼽을 수 있다. Next IT산업은 기존 14대 IT 분야를 'ETRI 비전 2020' 등 미래 청사진을 바탕으로 장기적 관점에서 재설계한 것이며, 최종 목표는 TDX, 4M D램, CDMA, 와이브로, DMB, NoLA 등 IT 강국 계보를 이어갈 4G, 미래인터넷, Smart Radio, 실감미디어, 웹3.0, 투명전자소자 등 미래 유망 핵심원천기술을 확보하고, IT 경쟁력을 강화하는 것이다.

NNbF is a newly emerging approach to reduce flood risk in coastal and fluvial areas using natural features or engineered nature-based features with the expectation of co-benefits of provisional, regulating, and socio-cultural services provided by the ecosystem. NNbF is not quite different from existing, related terms based on nature, such as NbS, Eco-DRR, NI, GI, EwN, and BwN, for all these terms include expectation of benefits for human societies by directly utilizing or mimicking nature's ecological functions. If we focus on the comprehensiveness of each term's subject and object, we can say that NbS > NNbF > (Eco-DRR, NI/GI). Among the 18 measures introduced in the NNbF International Guideline in the river and floodplain management category, it was found that measures of wash lands and floodplain restoration, including levee setback/removal and side-channel restoration, seemed to be the most applicable to rivers in Korea. These selected measures could be more effective when river managers purchase riparian lands along river courses by relevant laws for river water-quality protection.

The goal of this study is to apply the IPCC(Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) concept of vulnerability to climate change and verify the use of a combination of vulnerability index and fuzzy logic to flood vulnerability analysis and mapping in Seoul using GIS. In order to achieve this goal, this study identified indicators influencing floods based on literature review. We include indicators of exposure to climate(daily max rainfall, days of 80mm over), sensitivity(slope, geological, average DEM, impermeability layer, topography and drainage), and adaptive capacity(retarding basin and green-infra). Also, this research used fuzzy model for aggregating indicators, and utilized frequency ratio to decide fuzzy membership values. Results show that the number of days of precipitation above 80mm, the distance from river and impervious surface have comparatively strong influence on flood damage. Furthermore, when precipitation is over 269mm, areas with scare flood mitigation capacities, industrial land use, elevation of 16~20m, within 50m distance from rivers are quite vulnerable to floods. Yeongdeungpo-gu, Yongsan-gu, Mapo-gu include comparatively large vulnerable areas. This study improved previous flood vulnerability assessment methodology by adopting fuzzy model. Also, vulnerability map provides meaningful information for decision makers regarding priority areas for implementing flood mitigation policies.
