In the 1990s, four strong typhoons hit the Kyushu area of Japan and inflicted severe damage on power transmission facilities, houses, and so on. Maximum gust speeds exceeding 60 m/s were recorded in central Kyushu. Although the wind speeds were very high, the gust factors were over 2.0. No meteorological stations are located in mountainous areas, creating a deficiency of meteorological station data in the area where the towers were damaged. Since 1995 the authors have operated a network for wind measurement, NeWMeK, that measures wind speed and direction, covering these mountainous areas, segmenting the Kyushu area into high density arrays. Maximum gusts exceeding 70 m/s were measured at several NeWMeK sites when Typhoon Bart (1999) approached. The gust factors varied widely in southerly winds. The mean wind speeds increased due to effects of the local terrain, thus further increasing gust speeds.

In this study, we estimated soil moisture values using the Deep Neural Network(DNN) scheme at the mountainous regions. In order to test the sensitive analysis of DNN scheme, we collected the measured(at the soil depths of 10 cm and 30 cm) soil moisture and DNN input(weather and land surface) data at the Pyeongchang-gun(relatively flat) and Geochang-gun(steep slope) sites. Our findings indicated that the soil moisture estimates were sensitive to the weather variables(5 days-averaged rainfall, 5 days precedent rainfall, accumlated rainfall) and DEM. These findings showed that the DEM and weather variables play the key role in the processes of soil water flow at the mountainous regions. We estimated the soil moisture values at the soil depths of 10 cm and 30 cm using DNN at two study sites under different climate-landsurface conditions. The estimated soil moisture(R: 0.890 and RMSE: 0.041) values at the soil depth of 10 cm were comparable with the measured data in Pyeongchang-gun site while the soil moisture estimates(R: 0.843 and RMSE: 0.048) at the soil depth of 30 cm were relatively biased. The DNN-based soil moisture values(R: 0.997/0.995 and RMSE: 0.014/0.006) at the soil depth of 10 cm/30 cm matched well with the measured data in Geochang-gun site. Although uncertainties exist in the results, our findings indicated that the DNN-based soil moisture estimation scheme demonstrated the good performance in estimating soil moisture values using weather and land surface information at the monitoring sites. Our proposed scheme can be useful for efficient land surface management in various areas such as agriculture, forest hydrology, etc.

It is necessary to evaluate the location suitability of protected horticulture facilities to guide and/or plan new protected horticulture facilities in rural areas.0 this study, as one of methodological approaches for objective and systematic evaluation for location suitability of protected horticulture, the evaluating model for location suitability of protected horticulture was formulated using AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) as the base technique. The evaluation model was made in three different selected regions; suburban, plain, and mountainous. The results showed that there were significant differences in evaluation model of location suitability for':ed horticulture among the three regions.

As the distribution of vehicles and logistics increases due to the development of human civilization and the increase in population, various roads play an important role in domestic traffic and transportation. However, the recent emergence of large cities and new cities is causing traffic problems, and the increase in roads is inevitable for the smooth distribution of vehicles and logistics. In Korea, mountainous regions occupy 70% of the country, so tunnels are used to open roads. Without this, it is difficult to open the road. Currently, there are 3,720tunnels (as of December 31, 2023) installed on high-speed national highways, general national highways, and local roads nationwide, with a length of 2.499 and increasing every year. Accordingly, fire accidents in tunnels will also increase, and due to the nature of tunnel fire accidents, there is a high probability that they will escalate into large-scale disasters, resulting in casualties and property damage, as well as significant social losses due to the disruption of logistics transportation, etc. As the possibility of potential hazards is increasing, the purpose of this study is to build a safe and efficient tunnel system by optimizing maintenance and management for fire and disaster accidents in tunnels.

This study analyzed settlement condition changes of Chungcheong region's mountain area during 10 years, from 2001 to 2012. We performed factor analysis and cluster analysis of data from the 'Census for Mountain Area' carried out by the Korea Forest Service in 2001 and 2012. Factors 1, 2, 3, and 4 represent 'the superiority of non-agricultural income', 'the industrialized mountainous area', 'residential conveniences and benefits', and 'the use of forest resources', respectively. Clusters 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are categorized as 'non-agricultural income', 'various mass social functions', 'production of forest products', 'industrialized mountainous region', and 'ordinary mountain region', respectively. We suggest that cluster 1 has potential for development and should be promoted as a possible tourist attraction by digging up geographically unique themes. Cluster 2 has great potential for development and needs planned management through the maintenance or expansion of existing infrastructure. Cluster 3 has potential for development with various high value added industries uncovered. Cluster 4 shows vitality as it holds plenty of more job opportunities than other regions. Cluster 5 is deteriorating as a mountainous region because of an aging population, and it urgently demands development. For a decade, 45 of the 60 regions belonged to a single category, which are now differentiated broadly into two types: Firstly, deterioration changes to potential development and Secondly, vitality is differentiated into potential development and deterioration.

Wind field in mountainous regions demonstrates unique distribution characteristic as compared with the wind field of the flat area, wind load and wind effect are the key considerations in structural design of television towers situated in mountainous regions. The television tower to be constructed is located at the top of Xiushan Mountain in Nanjing, China. In order to investigate the impact of terrain factors of hilltops on wind loads, firstly a wind tunnel test was performed for the mountainous area within 800m from the television tower. Then the tower basal forces such as bending moments and shear strength were obtained based on high frequency force balance (HFFB) test. Based on the experiments, the improved method for determining the load combinations was applied to extract the response distribution patterns of foundation internal force and peak acceleration of the tower top, then the equivalent static wind loads were computed under different wind angles, load conditions and equivalent goals. The impact of terrain factors, damping ratio and equivalent goals on the wind load distribution of a television tower was discussed. Finally the equivalent static wind loads of the television tower under the 5 most adverse wind angles and 5 most adverse load conditions were computed. The experimental method, computations and research findings provide important references for the anti-wind design of high-rise structure built on hilltops.

국토의 70% 이상이 산지인 우리나라의 경우 산지지역의 돌발호우로 인한 수재해의 위험이 상시 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 환경부 비슬산 강우레이더 관측 영역의 산지지역에 발생한 돌발성 호우 사례를 대상으로 레이더 기반 돌발성 호우 사전 예측 방법을 적용하여, 그 활용성을 살펴보았다. 비슬산 강우레이더의 3차원 레이더 반사도, 강우강도, 도플러 풍속을 이용하여, 산지지역에서 발생한 8개의 국지적 호우 사례를 선정한 후 적란운 대류세포의 조기탐지, 탐지된 대류세포의 자동 추적, 해당 대류세포가 발달하여 돌발성 호우를 유발할 수 있는 가능성을 판단하는 위험도 정보를 산출하였다. 사례적용 결과, 대기 중에 돌발호우로 발달할 수 있는 대류세포의 최초 탐지시점 및 위치, 소용돌이도 발생여부에 따라 판정된 위험도 수준 및 발생시점, 위치를 확인할 수 있었다. 특히, 지상강우관측망으로는 좁은 영역에 국지적으로 발달하는 호우를 탐지하는데 한계가 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, 위험도 정보를 획득한 시점에서 최대 강우강도가 발생할 때까지 최소 10분에서 최대 65분 정도의 시간을 확보함으로써 레이더 기반의 돌발성 호우 사전 예측기법은 산지지역에서 호우로 인한 산지홍수, 고립사고 방지를 위한 사전정보로 활용성이 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

본 논문에서는 정밀한 수문기상자료를 보유하고 있는 설마천 시험유역의 강우유출자료를 이용하여 산지 소유역의 유출곡선지수(CN)를 산정하고, 이를 이용하여 국내 산지 소유역에 적합하다고 판단되는 선행강우량(ARC)의 적용기준을 제시하였다. 설마천 시험유역은 $97\%$가 산림으로 구성되어 있는 전형적인 미개발 산지 소유역으로서 기왕의 10개 주요 호우사상을 분석하여 산정된 CN값은 $51{\sim}89$ 범위에 있었으며 중앙값(median)은 72 정도인 것으로 나타났다. 선행강우량과 CN과의 관계에 대하여 검토한 결과 본 논문에서 제기한 가설인 ${\ulcorner}$5일 선행강우량 보다 1일 선행강우량이 산지 소유역에 대한 CN을 결정하는 데에 더욱 타당성이 높을 것${\lrcorner}$ 이라는 가설은 타당한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 본 연구를 통하여 1일 또는 5일 선행강우량으로부터 산지 소유역의 CN을 추정할 수 있는 회귀분석식을 제안하였다. 국내 산지 소유역의 유출곡선지수에 대한 체계적인 분석이 거의 없는 실정에서 본 연구를 통하여 국내 산지 소유역에 대한 실측자료를 기반으로 선행강우량을 반영한 CN 산정방법을 제시함으로써, 특히 산악지역에서 실측강우에 따른 유출수문곡선 재현시 선행강우조건을 반영하는 예비적인 가이드라인이 될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
