  • Korea Forest Service made the landslide hazard map for all mountainous districts over the country in May 2005. In this study, we selected landslide areas occurred in Jeonbuk from 02 August 2005 to 03 August 2005 as the study area. We extracted landslide areas using images taken by PKNU 3 System, which was developed by PE&RS Laboratory in Dept. of Satellite Information Sciences, Pukyong National University and verified the accuracy of landslide hazard map by overlaying landslide hazard areas extracted by PKNU 3 images. And we analyzed characteristics of an altitude, a gradient, an inclined direction, a flow length, a flow accumulation for landslide areas using mountainous terrain analysis and Stream Network analysis of ArvView 3.3. As a result of this study, it is necessary to adjust the unitage(%) by the class and to modify and improve the score table for prediction of landslide-susceptible area forming the foundation of making the landslide hazard maps.

  • International Civil Aviation Organization(ICAO) adopted VOR(Very high frequency Omni-Range) as an international standard air navigation system in 1949 and recommended every country to make use of it in formulating air route and guiding take-off and landing of an aircraft. VOR is quite a useful navigation system so that more than 2,000 VORs are currently installed all over the world including 39 in the Republic of Korea; however, VOR signal could be easily affected by its circumstance like a mountainous area because it provides navigation information to an aircraft through AM and FM of VHF carrier. There are two types of VOR which are defined according to a design methode. Therefore this study intends to investigate which type of VOR is suitable for mountainous area. For that purpose, the performance of each CVOR and DVOR is measured and analyzed by using an aircraft equipped with measuring instruments. The analyzed result will be applied and utilized in selecting the VOR type, so it could be a feasible solution of problem related to the VOR relocation due to its insufficient performance in the future.

  • Stream piracy is one of the dynamic geomorphic processes in the mountainous area. If many stream piracies were concentrated in a certain region, the concentrated distribution of those might reflects the geological structure and tectonic movements of that region. In this study, the stream piracies identified in the lower areas between the Chiri and the Deokyoo mountainous areas were analyzed in relation with the tectonic line from Kwangju to Pohang and the so-called Hansan Mountains. The stream piracy at the Subunchi occurred between the lower-altitude, higher-gradient upper reach of the Seomjin-River flowing on the lower-level basin and the higher-altitude, lower-gradient upper reach of the Geum-River flowing on the higher-level basin. The geomorphic evidences concerning the stream piracy and the human responses to the headward erosion might be found in the vicinity of stream piracy site. Together with the Deunbongsaem(the source fountain of Geum-River), the Subunchi at which the geomorphic processes of stream piracy could be identified in a small area will be a good site for the geography education as well as the geo-tourism.

  • In this study, a study was presented on the monitoring technique of landslide area using UAV. In the case of disaster investigation using drone mapping, it can be used at various disaster sites. The mission can be carried out at various disaster sites, including surveys of damage to mountainous areas caused by landslides, building collapses surveys of flood damage, typhoons, earthquakes. The damage investigation plan using drone mapping is expected to be highly utilized at disaster sites where investigators cannot access it like in mountainous areas and where it is difficult to conduct direct damage investigations at the site. Drone mapping technology has many advantages in terms of disaster follow-up, such as recovery. Compared to the existing survey system, which was mainly carried out manually, the investigation time can be drastically reduced, and it can also respond to disaster sites that are difficult to carry out or are difficult to access directly. In addition, it is possible to establish and guide spatial data at the disaster site based on accurate mapping data from the time of the disaster, which has considerable strength in managing the situation of the disaster site, selecting priority areas for recovery, and establishing recovery plans. As such, drone mapping is a technology that can be used in a wide range of sites along with natural disasters and social disasters. If a damage investigation system is established through this, it is believed that it will contribute significantly to the rapid establishment of recovery plans along with the investigation of disaster response time and extent of damage recovery.

  • This study investigated the effect of geography and altitude on epigeic spider communities in rice field levees in Jeollabuk-do. Spider communities in the mountainous and plain areas were compared to determine the effect of geography on the cultivation periods. The effect of altitude was compared between the Jeongeup and Jangsu areas during non-cultivation periods. Analysis using nMDS (non-metric multidimensional scaling), MRPP (multiple response permutation procedure), and ANOSIM (analysis of similarity) revealed differences in spider community structures between the two types of study areas. Lycosidae predominated at the family level, and its abundance was greater in the mountainous area than in the plains area. The total abundance did not differ between the two areas with different altitudes, but the abundance of three Pardosa species was greater at lower altitudes than at higher altitudes. Geography and altitude had a minimal effect on species richness and diversity indices at the community level. However, several Lycosidae species showed species-specific responses to both geography and altitude in the rice fields.
