Recently, the damage by fresh flood increases in Gangwon-do and Gyeongsangbuk-do of the north-eastern area of Korea. Even though the recent pattern of rain fall keeps changing, there is no strategy to mitigate damage by disaster. For the appropriate measure and policy for decreasing damage, an index for vulnerability is necessary to provide evidence of local climate change. The present work analyzes the flooding damage cost during the past 20 years. During 80's, the southern area of Korea was seriously damaged by over-floods on the agricultural ground. After that time, the loss and damage has decreased in the southern area but the middle part has shown slight but distinct increases of damage. The absolute coast of damage in the northern part has kept constant. However, the relative regional damage to the total country damage has kept increasing over 20 years in the same area. The surface area of floods is strongly correlated with the regional damage cost in the southern part but the north-eastern part has weak correlation between flooded area and cost. It implies that the recent damage in the north-eastern mountain area was not caused by flood itself but the other factors such as avalanches. The present work expects that the damage cost can be a good proxy value for index for climate change impact assessment.

In an effort to establish adaptive measures for low carbon use and climate change, this study developed storylines for shared socio-economic reference pathways(SSP) and simulated change in land use for each storyline. First, cellular automata modeling was performed using past data, and a transition rule for the local characteristics of each planning area under study was derived by comparing with the results of the base year. Second, three storylines were formulated based on the hypothesized change in land use for the SSP. SSP1, the scenario for sustainability, assumed that the land was developed into a compact city, SSP2 assumed the development of a road through the middle of the land while maintaining the current situation, and SSP3 assumed unsustainable development into a fragmented world. Third, change in land use depending on planning area was predicted by integrating the SSP scenarios with cellular automata(CA) modeling. According to the results of analysis using the SSP scenarios, the urban area ratio increased slightly up to 2020 in SSP1 and up to 2030 in SSP2 and did not change any more subsequently, but it increased continuously until 2050 in SSP3 that assumed low level urban planning. These results on change in land use are expected to contribute towards making reasonable decisions and policies on climate change, and the outcomes of simulation derived from spatial downscaling, if applied to vulnerability assessment, will be useful to set the priority of policies on climate change adaptation.

The water resources sustainability is becoming an important issue in consideration of hydrologic uncertainty by global warming and climate change. This study is to assess the water supply performance for the major multipurpose dams using sustainability index. Parameters, mostly utilized in water resources system assessment, are selected in respect of applicability and flexibility, and those parameters are used as a variable of the composite index. In practice, the composite index including reliability, resiliency, vulnerability and maximum deficit are applied to 15 multipurpose dams and 4 major basins. And to conclude, Daechungdam in the Geum river basin and Imhadam, Hapchondam and Namgangdam in the Nakdong river basin show low sustainability comparing with other dams. The Nakdong river basin needs to develop alternatives to improve water supply stability because it indicates the most poor sustainability level.

Cities in Korea have rapidly urbanized and they are not well prepared for natural disasters which have been increased by climate change. In particular, they often struggle with urban flooding. Recently, green infrastructure has been emphasized as a critical strategy for flood mitigation in developed countries due to its capability to infiltrate water into the ground, provide the ability to absorb and store rainfall, and contribute to mitigating floods. However, in Korea, green infrastructure planning only focuses on esthetic functions or accessibility, and does not think how other functions such as flood mitigation, can be effectively realized. Based on this, we address this critical gap by suggesting the new green infrastructure planning framework for improving urban water cycle and maximizing flood mitigation capacity. This framework includes flood vulnerability assessment for identifying flood risk area and deciding suitable locations for green infrastructure. We propose the use of the combination of frequency ratio model and GIS for flood vulnerability assessment. The framework also includes the selection process of green infrastructure practices under local conditions such as geography, flood experience and finance. Finally, we applied this planning framework to the case study area, namely YeonJe-gu an Nam-gu in Busan. We expect this framework will be incorporated into green infrastructure spatial planning to provide effective decision making process regarding location and design of green infrastructure.

Unlike other disasters, the water shortage problem caused by drought is characterized by the long-lasting ripple effect of the social and economic sectors in all regions of Korea, and the types and purposes of water mainly used are different depending on the type of region, so the factors and scale of water shortage damage are different. In this study, a methodology to evaluate the risk of water shortage based on socioeconomic characteristics was developed and applied to Gwangju and Jeollanam-do to analyze the results. To this end, 20 impact indicators for risk, exposure, and vulnerability items were selected according to the climate risk concept of IPCC AR6. The results of the water shortage risk evaluation reflecting socioeconomic characteristics were different from the risk results considering only the existing meteorological and hydrological factors. The areas with the greatest risk of water shortage were calculated as Yeonggwang-eup in Yeonggwang-gun, Yeonsan-dong and Haean-dong 4-ga in Mokpo-si, Jeokryang-dong in Yeosu-si and Geumsan-myeon in Goheung-si. Through the evaluation results, risk factors and countermeasures for water shortage were derived in consideration of detailed characteristics of the region, which can be used as data contributing to the establishment of measures to reduce drought damage tailored to the region in the future.

The topographical depressions in urban areas, the lack in drainage capability, sewage backward flow, road drainage, etc. cause internal inundation, and the increase in rainfall resulting from recent climate change, the rapid urbanization accompanied by economic development and population growth, and the increase in an impervious area in urban areas deteriorate the risk of internal inundation in the urban areas. In this study, the vulnerability of internal inundation in urban areas is analyzed and SWMM model is applied into Oncheoncheon watershed, which represents urban river of Busan, as a target basin. Based on the results, the representative storm sewers in individual sub-catchments is selected and the risk of vulnerability to internal inundation due to rainfall in urban streams is analyzed. In order to analyze the risk and vulnerability of internal inundation, capacity is applied as an index indicating the volume of a storm sewer in the SWMM model, and the risk of internal inundation is into 4 steps. For the analysis on the risk of internal inundation, simulation results by using a SMMM model are compared with the actual inundation areas resulting from localized heavy rain on July 7, 2009 at Busan and comparison results are analyzed to prove the validity of the designed model. Accordingly, probabilistic rainfall at Busan was input to the model for each frequency (10, 20, 50, 100 years) and duration (6, 12, 18, 24hr) at Busan. In this study, it suggests that the findings can be used to preliminarily alarm the possibility of internal inundation and selecting the vulnerable zones in urban areas.

Climate change is a key factor that greatly influences changes in the biological seasons and geographical distribution of species. In the ecological field, the BioClimatic predictor (BioClim), which is most related to the physiological characteristics of organisms, is used for vulnerability assessment. However, BioClim values are not provided other than the future period climate average values for each GCM for the Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSPs) scenario. In this study, BioClim data suitable for domestic conditions was produced using 1 km resolution SSPs scenario detailed data produced by Rural Development Administration, and based on the data, a species distribution model was applied to mainly grow in southern, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Gangwon-do and humid regions. Appropriate habitat distributions were predicted every 30 years for the base years (1981 - 2010) and future years (2011 - 2100) of the Acer pictum subsp. mono. Acer pictum subsp. mono appearance data were collected from a total of 819 points through the national natural environment survey data. In order to improve the performance of the MaxEnt model, the parameters of the model (LQH-1.5) were optimized, and 7 detailed biolicm indices and 5 topographical indices were applied to the MaxEnt model. Drainage, Annual Precipitation (Bio12), and Slope significantly contributed to the distribution of Acer pictum subsp. mono in Korea. As a result of reflecting the growth characteristics that favor moist and fertile soil, the influence of climatic factors was not significant. Accordingly, in the base year, the suitable habitat for a high level of Acer pictum subsp. mono is 3.41% of the area of Korea, and in the near future (2011 - 2040) and far future (2071 - 2100), SSP1-2.6 accounts for 0.01% and 0.02%, gradually decreasing. However, in SSP5-8.5, it was 0.01% and 0.72%, respectively, showing a tendency to decrease in the near future compared to the base year, but to gradually increase toward the far future. This study confirms the future distribution of vegetation that is more easily adapted to climate change, and has significance as a basic study that can be used for future forest restoration of climate change-adapted species.

본 연구의 목적은 기후변화에 따른 홍수 취약성 평가 방법을 제안하고 미래 기후시나리오를 이용하여 국내 5대강 유역에 대해 홍수취약지역을 시 공간적으로 평가하는 데에 있다. 이에 현 기후상태의 홍수 취약성을 평가하고자 유역의 지형, 인문 사회 정보를 수집하였으며, 관측 기상, 수문자료와 수문모형 모의로부터 유역평균강수량 및 유역별 유출량을 산정하였다. 이상의 자료를 토대로 홍수와 관련된 취약성 지표를 선정 및 산정하여 현재 기후상태(1971~2000년)에서의 홍수취약성을 평가하였다. 또한 기후변화 영향을 고려하기 위해 3개의 온실가스배출시나리오를 기반으로 생산된 13GCMs 별 미래 기후시나리오 자료를 수집하였으며, 3개의 유출모형에 적용, 다수의 유출시나리오를 생산하여 현재 기후상태(1971~2000년) 대비 미래 세기간 S1(2011~2040년), S2(2041~2070년), S3(2071~2100년)의 홍수 취약성을 평가하였다. 현재 기후상태에 따른 홍수취약지역을 평가한 결과 대체로 한강 중 하류지역과 영 섬강 하류 지역에서 높게 나타났으며, 낙동강 중 상류유역은 상대적으로 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 기후변화시나리오를 적용할 경우 취약지역의 공간적인 분포는 기준기간과 유사했으나, 대부분의 유역에서 심도는 증가할 것으로 나타났다. 특히 낙동강 권역에서 가장 크게 변할 것으로 분석되었는데 이는 하천의 적응능력이 작아 상대적으로 기상 수문지표의 변화에 더욱 민감하게 반응하는 것으로 판단된다.

최근 정부에서는 농업용 저수지의 노쇠화를 해결하기 위해, 이수공간 및 홍수조절공간 추가 확보를 목표로 농업용 저수지 둑 높이기 사업을 실시하였다. 둑 높이기 사업을 통해 추가로 확보된 저수 공간을 효과적으로 활용하여 홍수에 대비하기 위해서는 저수지의 홍수 취약성에 대한 정량적인 평가가 선행되어야 한다. 또한 기후변화로 인한 강우강도 증가에 대비하기 위해서는 미래 예측 강우량에 대한 농업용 저수지의 홍수 취약성 평가가 필요한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기후변화를 고려하여 둑 높이기 사업에 따른 농업용저수지의 홍수 취약성 변화를 분석하고자 한다. 기초자료 구축을 위해 기상청에서 제공하는 RCP 4.5 기반의 미래강수자료를 편의보정 하였으며, 둑 높이기 사업 보고서를 통해 농업용 저수지의 제원들을 수집하였다. 이를 바탕으로 농업용 저수지 유역의 설계홍수량을 산정하였고, 저수지 모의 운영을 통해 홍수조절효과를 분석하였다. 홍수 취약성은 IPCC (2007)에서 제안한 방법에 따라 평가하였다. 문헌조사를 통해 기존에 사용되어 왔던 지표들을 선정하였고, 본 연구에서 수행한 저수지 모의 운영 결과를 바탕으로 홍수조절율 등 둑 높이기 사업의 효과를 반영할 수 있는 지표들을 추가로 선정하여 홍수 취약성 평가에 적용하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 둑 높이기 사업에 의한 홍수조절효과를 정량화 하고, 둑 높이기 저수지의 최적 운영을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
