Urban flood management(UFM) strategy ought to consider the connections and interactions between existing and new infrastructures to manage stormwater and improve the capacity to treat water. It is also important to demonstrate strategies that can be implemented to reduce the flow at flooding sources and minimize flood risk at critical locations. Although the general theory of spatial impact is popular, modeling guidelines that can provide information for implementation in real-world plans are still lacking. Under such background, this study conducted a modeling research based on an actual target site to confirm the hypothesis that it is appropriate to install green infrastructure(GI) in the source area and to take structural protection measures in the impact area, as summarized in previous studies. The results of the study proved the hypothesis, but the results were different from the hypothesis depending on which hydrological performance indicators were targeted. This study will contribute to demonstrating the effectiveness of strategies that can be implemented to reduce the flow at flooding sources and minimize the risk of flooding in critical locations in terms of spatial planning and regeneration.

최근 전 세계는 급격한 기후변화와 도시화의 집중 등으로 인해 예상치 못한 수문학적인 문제, 특히 도시 내 홍수 피해 규모와 빈도가 매년 증가하고 있다. 기존의 도시 개발은 그레이 인프라(Gray Infrastructure)형을 중심으로 불투수 포장면의 증가를 가져왔다. 그 결과로 자연적 투수층이 감소하여 첨두유량 증가, 침투량 감소와 같은 도시물 순환의 문제점이 부각되기 시작했다. 이에 많은 국가들이 그린 인프라(Green Infrastructure)의 중요성과 필요성을 인지하고 그와 관련된 정책 마련에 나서고 있다. 그린 인프라는 모든 개발사업의 계획 이전에 고려되느냐 기타 기반 시설의 계획 후 입지를 결정하느냐에 따라 입지 선정 기준을 크게 두 가지로 구축할 수 있는데, 본 연구는 도시 내 물 순환을 관리하여 유출수를 지표로 침투시켜 도시의 회복력을 평가하는 것이기 때문에 후자에 해당된다. 자연과 분리되거나 별도로 적용하지 않으면서 기후변화에 대응할 수 있는 지속가능한 도시를 만들 수 있으며 소규모로도 물 순환을 가능하게 해 도시의 큰 구조적 변화 없이 적용 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 서울 신월지구에 선행 된 시험 관측 결과를 토대로 도시 내 그린 인프라의 설치에 따른 도시 회복력에 대한 정의를 내려보았다.

We aimed to find new space types and characteristics for creating gardens in the city through the type of idle space in the city, present guidelines that can be used in creating gardens in the future, and establish basic data for expanding green infrastructure. As a result, we found that the idle space in the city was classified into four types, and it was determined that differentiation should be given to the creation of each type. The achievements of this study can be a potential source of urban ecosystem services that can provide community benefits and opportunities for urban regeneration through the redevelopment of the community and support the health and well-being of local residents. In addition, urban idle space can be a valuable resource as a green infrastructure that can be used to support the health of urban ecosystems and improve the quality of life of urban residents.

The effects of low impact development (LID) techniques, such as green roofs and porous pavements, on the runoff and pollutant load from an apartment complex were simulated using the Site Evaluation Tool (SET). The study site was the Olympic Village, a preexisting apartment complex in Seoul, South Korea, which has a high percentage of impervious surfaces (approximately 72% of the total area). Using the SET, the effects of replacing parking lots, sidewalks and driveways (37.5% of the total area) having porous pavements and rooftops (14.5% of the total area) with green roofs were simulated. The simulation results indicated that LID techniques reduced the surface runoff, and peak flow and pollutant load, and increased the evapotranspiration and soil infiltration of precipitation. Per unit area, the green roofs were better than the porous pavements at reducing the surface runoff and pollutant loads, while the porous pavements were better than green roofs at enhancing the infiltration to soil. This study showed that LID methods can be useful for urban stormwater management and that the SET is a useful tool for evaluating the effects of LID on urban hydrology and pollutant loads from various land covers.

This study targets the urban park corresponding to the core areas (Hubs) of Green Infrastructure and estimates their value utilizing the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) and determines the planning factors which affect them. The research aims to provide basic data for supporting the value improvement in the planning stage for urban parks representing green infrastructure. The primary purpose of this research is to derive variables that affect economic value and planning factors to improve the use-value of urban parks, one of the Hubs of the green infrastructure. In this study, Sejong Lake Park, located in Sejong City, is the target site. This study collected the responses of 105 people by conducting a survey on the intention to pay for the use-value and the planning factors that affect it, targeting visitors to Sejong Lake Park. The study conducts Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) on this survey responses. The results are as follows: first, as a result of analyzing the variables which affect willingness to pay for use-value, residence and age influence the willingness to pay significantly among socioeconomic characteristics. Next, the survey responses of Double-bounded dichotomous choices (DB-DC) CVM are converted into variables through statistic techniques. Furthermore, the variables are used for a Logit model to draw coefficients. The average willingness to pay per person for the use-value of Sejong Lake Park using the derived coefficients was approximately found to be 8,597 won. Therefore, as of 2019, Sejong Lake Park, with a total of 430,000 visitors, is estimated to have an annual economic value of 3.7 billion won. Third, the average Likert scale of the planning factor affecting the decision to pay for the economic value of Sejong Lake Park was the highest along the waterfront landscape, and the convenience facilities and waterfront landscape showed the highest willingness to pay, 10,000 won. In the range between 2,500 won and 5,000 won, the waterfront area ranks highest. Therefore, it can be said that visitors to Sejong Lake Park take account of the economic value of using the waterfront landscape the most. This study is meaningful as a thesis on use-value and the planning factors that affected value evaluation results of urban parks, and the analysis of the correlation between the planning factors of urban parks as hubs located in urban areas.

Urban floods pose significant challenges to cities worldwide, driven by the interplay between urbanization and climate change. This review examines recent studies of urban floods to understand their causes, impacts, and potential mitigation strategies. Urbanization, with its increase in impermeable surfaces and altered drainage patterns, disrupts natural water flow, exacerbating surface runoff during intense rainfall events. The impacts of urban floods are far-reaching, affecting lives, infrastructure, the economy, and the environment. Loss of life, property damage, disruptions to critical services, and environmental consequences underscore the urgency of effective urban flood management. To mitigate urban floods, integrated flood management strategies are crucial. Sustainable urban planning, green infrastructure, and improved drainage systems play pivotal roles in reducing flood vulnerabilities. Early warning systems, emergency response planning, and community engagement are essential components of flood preparedness and resilience. Looking to the future, climate change projections indicate increased flood risks, necessitating resilience and adaptation measures. Advances in research, data collection, and modeling techniques will enable more accurate flood predictions, thus guiding decision-making. In conclusion, urban flooding demands urgent attention and comprehensive strategies to protect lives, infrastructure, and the economy.

This study introduces a resource recycling system in urban apartment complex using four different technologies. The four technologies, called 4G, include a production technology for reclaimed water (Green water), a biogas production technology from organic waste (Green biogas), a reuse technology of rainwater (Green rainwater), and urban agropark (Green pyramid). Green water is the technology for producing the reclaimed water from wastewater, rainwater and underground water, and the average concentrations of BOD, SS, T-N and coliform of reclaimed water were 7.8mg/L, ND (not detected), 4.9mg/L and ND, respectively. Green biogas is the technology for producing biogas and effluent after treating organic wastes (e.g. food waste and night soil) discharged from households, and the average production rates of hydrogen and methane were $0.33m^3/m^3/d$ and $0.24m^3/m^3/d$, respectively. Green pyramid, agricultural farm operated by biogas and reclaimed water, provides a healthy and recreational space for residents, and plant growth rates using treated water and reclaimed water showed height of 1.32cm and weight of 112.8g. Therefore, 4G technologies can improve the recycling rate and treatment efficiencies of waste and wastewater in an apartment complex.

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.
