Water quality problems in rivers, lakes, and estuaries have become serious in Korea. In order to overcome eutrophication of freshwater lakes and river basins, systematic management of water quality is necessary. To manage water quality in freshwater lakes and basins, apply hydrological models suitable for the basin and water quality models such as rivers and lakes to reduce water pollution based on the prediction results of these models. Improvement measures must be presented. In order to apply appropriate water pollution improvement measures in the watershed, accurate pollution sources must be identified and pollution loads must be predicted and presented. Based on GIS, the connection between the pollutant database and the hydrological and water quality prediction model will be integrated based on spatial location, making it possible to provide systematic support to improve watershed water quality by comprehensively including the water quality modeling process. In this paper, in order to accurately predict water pollution in freshwater lakes and river basins, a water quality model system is established using GIS-based spatial information to present a comprehensive water quality management method for freshwater lake basins in the future, and to systematically manage pollution sources through water quality modeling. This study was conducted to easily and efficiently operate hydrological and water quality models using automated spatial information.

The growth of vacant housing has been problematic in both Korea and other countries as it causes various socio-economic problems and negatively affects residential environments. Despite the importance of effectively managing vacant housing, few studies have been undertaken regarding spatial patterns of vacant housing growth. This study aims to examine spatial dependence in vacant housing growth. We used 2005 and 2015 Population and Housing Census and employed spatial modeling. The empirical analysis shows that there is spatial dependence in vacant housing growth. Also, the spatial clusters of growing vacant housing are present in the non-capital region and nearby cities while the spatial clusters of declining vacant housing are present in the capital region. The policy implications of this study are as follows: First, local governments should make collaborate efforts with geographically proximate cities for more effective management of vacant housing. Second, given that vacant housing is more prevalent and growing in the non-capital region, it is necessary to employ differential policies to manage housing vacancy between the capital and non-capital regions.

Three dimensional urban models are being increasingly applied for various purposes such as city planning, telecommunication cell planning, traffic analysis, environmental monitoring and disaster management. In recent years, technologies from CAD and GIS are being merged to find optimal solutions in three dimensional modeling of urban buildings. These solutions include modeling of the interior building space as well as its exterior shape visualization. Research and development effort in this area has been performed by scientists and engineers from Computer Graphics, CAD and GIS. Computer Graphics and CAD focussed on precise and efficient visualization, where as GIS emphasized on topology and spatial analysis. Complementary research effort is required for an effective model to serve both visualization and spatial analysis purposes. This study presents an efficient way of using the CAD plans included in the building register documents to reconstruct the internal space of buildings. Topological information was built in the geospatial database and merged with the geometric information of CAD plans. as well as other attributal data from the building register. The GIS network modeling method introduced in this study is expected to enable an effective 3 dimensional spatial analysis of building interior which is developing with increasing complexity and size.

A parametric modeling method, one of the core technology of BIM (Building Information Modeling), is proposed for efficient 3D assembly design among components of a superstructure module of modular steel bridge. Assembly system is classified into 3 levels as LoD (Level of Details) for 3D assembly design of the parts. Components forming 3D shape of the parts are identified and defined as parameters, variables depending on parameters, or constants independent of the parameters. Then, spatial assembly rules among the parts are defined according to the assembly system. Positional relations among the identified shape components are defined for mating spatial position and geometrical relations are defined for constraining degree of freedom on X, Y, and Z axis. Finally, a standardized template is designed by applying the rules to 3D based assembly design for the parts of the superstructure module. In addition, applicability of the parametric modeling method is demonstrated by testing the shape variation of the superstructure module according to changing the defined parameters.

Hourly ozone data are available for 73 stations in South Korea from January, 1988 to August, 1998. We are interested in detecting trends in both the mean levels and the extremes of ozone, and in determining how these trends vary over the country. The latter aspect means that we also have to understand the spatial dependence of ozone. In this connection, therefore, we examine in this paper the following features: determining trends in mean ozone levels at individual stations and combination across stations; determining trends in extreme ozone levels at individual stations and combination across stations; spatial modeling of trends in mean and extreme ozone levels.

Green Infrastructure has been considered as one of strategies for flood mitigation in cities. Although, the diverse benefits of green infrastructure implementation are studies, there is a lack of research on the relationship between spatial composition and configuration of green infrastructure and urban flood mitigation. To address this gap, this study 1) utilized high-resolution satellite imagery to analyze spatial composition and configuration of green infrastructure in highly developed seven cities in South Korea, and 2) conducted an empirical analysis to find the relationship between economic losses from flooding and spatial patterns of green infrastructure and development patterns. The results of this research will be helpful for urban planners to prepare green infrastructure implementation guidelines for effective urban flood mitigation.

The high-ozone episode in the Greater Seoul Area for the period of July 27 to August 1 1997 was modeled by the CIT(California Institute of Technology) three-dimensional photochemical model. Emission data were prepared by scaling the NIER(1994) data through and optimization method using VOC measurements in August 1997 and EKMA(Empirical Kinetic Modeling Approach). Two sets of meteorological data were prepared by the diagnostic routine. a part of the CIT model : one only utilized observations from the surface weather stations and the other also utilized observations from the automatic weather stations that were more densely distributed than those from the surface weather stations. The results showed that utilizing observations from the automatic weather stations could represent fine variations in the sind field such as those caused by topography. A better wind field gave better peak ozones and a more reasonable spatial distribution of ozone concentrations. Nevertheless, there were still many differences between predictions and observations particularly for primary pollutant such as NOx and CO. This was probably due to the inaccuracy of emission data that could not resolve both temporal and spatial variations.

3D cadaster problems are getting attention and studied increasingly. However, correct concepts have not been established for three dimensional land uses and different rights problems around them. This is primarily due to the lack of proper methods for implementation and operation of 3D cadaster. 3D cadaster requiring far more huge data than 2D should be built in DBMS and need appropriate methods and processes for this. This study propose a method to model 3D cadaster using DBMS. First, it analyse and visualize possible problems around divided superficies in 3D spaces. Based on this, it illustrates UML models and shows an O-R mapping process to implement them using a RDBMS.

Rainfall data is one of the most important data in hydrologic modeling. In this study, the impacts of spatial resolution of precipitation data on hydrological responses were assessed using SWAT in the Santa Fe River Basin, Florida. High correlations were found between the FAWN and NLDAS rainfall data, which are observed weather data and simulated weather data based on observed data, respectively. FAWN-based scenarios had higher maximum rainfall and more rainfall days and events compared to NLDAS-based scenarios. Downstream areas showed lower correlations between rainfall and peak discharge than upstream areas due to the characteristics of study site. All scenarios did not show significant differences in base flow, and showed less than 5% of differences in high flows among NLDAS-based scenarios. The impact of resolution will appear differently depending on the characteristics of the watershed and topography and the applied model, and thus, is a process that must be considered in advance in runoff simulation research. The study suggests that applying the research method to watersheds in Korea may yield more pronounced results, and highlights the importance of considering data resolution in hydrologic modeling.
