The purpose of this study is to analyse the hazard risk by examining the magnitude and severity of each type of hazard in order to mitigate and prepare for disasters in medical facilities. Methods: The hazard risk analysis for hazard types was surveyed for team leaders of medical facilities. The questionnaire analyzed data from 27 facilities, which were returned from 41 Local Medical Centers. Results: When looking at the 'Risk' by category type of hazard, the influence of health safety and fire/energy safety comes first, followed by natural disaster, facility safety, and crime safety. On the other hand, as for 'Magnitude', facility safety and crime safety come first, followed by health safety, fire/energy safety, and natural disasters. Most of the top types of disaster judged to have high hazard in medical facilities are health types. The top five priorities of hazard in medical facilities, they are affected by the geographical and industrial conditions of the treatment area. In the case of cities, the hazard was found to be high in the order of infectious disease, patient surge, and wind and flood damage. On the other hand, in rural areas, livestock diseases and infectious diseases showed the highest hazard. In the case of forest areas, the hazard was high in the order of wildfire, fire accident, lightning, tide, earthquake, and landslide, whereas in coastal areas of industrial complexes, the hazard was high due to fire, landslide, water pollution, marine pollution, and chemical spill accident. Implications: Through the research, standards will be established for the design of hospitals with disaster preparedness, and will contribute to the preparation of preemptive measures in terms of maintenance.

As the severity of water-related disasters increases in urban watersheds due to climate change, reducing flood damage in urban watersheds is one of the important issues. This study focuses on prioritizing the optimal site for permeable pavement to maximize the efficiency of reducing flood damage in urban watersheds in the future climate environment using multi-criteria decision making techniques. The Mokgamcheon watershed which is considerably urbanized than in the past was selected for the study area and its 27 sub-watersheds were considered as candidate sites. Six General Circulation Model (GCM) of Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 6(CMIP6) according to two Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP) scenarios were used to estimate future monthly precipitation for the study area. The Driving force-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) framework was used to select the water quantity evaluation criteria for prioritizing permeable pavement, and the study area was modeled using ArcGIS and Storm Water Management Model (SWMM). For the values corresponding to the evaluation criteria based on the DPSIR framework, data from national statistics and long-term runoff simulation value of SWMM according to future monthly precipitation were used. Finally, the priority for permeable pavement was determined using the Fuzzy TOPSIS and Minimax regret method. The high priorities were concentrated in the downstream sub-watersheds where urbanization was more progressed and densely populated than the upstream watersheds.

This study evaluated drought severity by bivariate frequency analysis using drought magnitude and precipitation deficit. A drought event was defined by Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and the precipitation deficit was estimated using reference precipitation corresponding to the SPI -1. In previous studies, drought magnitude and duration were used for bivariate frequency analysis. However, since these two variables have a largely linear relationship, extensibility of drought information is not great compared to the univariate frequency analysis for each variable. In the case of drought in 2015, return periods of 'drought magnitude-precipitation deficit' in the Seoul, Yangpyeong, and Chungju indicated severe drought over 300 years. However, the result of 'drought magnitude-duration' showed a significant difference by evaluating the return period of about 10, 50, and 50 years. Although a drought including the rainy season was seriously lacking in precipitation, drought magnitude did not adequately represent the severity of the absolute lack of precipitation. This showed that there is a limit to expressing the actual severity of drought. The results of frequency analysis for 'drought magnitude-precipitation deficit' include the absolute deficit of precipitation information, so which could consider being a useful indicator to cope with drought.

지금까지 돌발홍수는 주로 강우의 시공간적인 특성들을 고려한 기후학적 측면에서 관심을 가지고 연구가 진행되어 왔을 뿐 유출의 시각에서 돌발홍수를 평가하기 위한 노력은 매우 미흡하였다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 Bhaskar 등(2000)의 연구를 우리나라에 적용하여 유출수문곡선에 의해 돌발홍수를 설명하고, 다른 홍수사상과 돌발홍수 사상을 구별하고자 하는데 있다. 즉, 유출수문곡선의 특성을 이용해 홍수사상에 대한 돌발홍수지수(flash flood index)를 산정함으로써 돌발홍수의 심각성 정도를 정량화하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 한강유역의 과거 101개의 홍수사상에 대해 돌발홍수의 상대심도(relative severity)를 파악하기 위하여 돌발홍수지수를 산정하였으며 또한, 2006년 7월의 집중호우에 의해 발생한 홍수사상의 돌발홍수 심도를 시공간적으로 정량화하였다. 분석 결과, 한강유역의 다른 지역에 비해 강원도 지역의 홍수 유출수문곡선들이 돌발홍수 심도를 크게 나타내었으며 중랑천 등과 같은 도시유역에서도 돌발심도가 크게 나타남을 확인 할 수 있었다. 2006년 7월 집중호우에 의한 한강유역의 돌발홍수지수를 7월 전반기, 중반기 그리고 하반기로 나누어 시공간적 공간분포를 분석한 결과, 7월 전반기의 경우 서울 주변지역의 돌발심도가 크게 나타났으며 7월 중반기의 경우 강원도 지역의 돌발홍수 심도가 크게 나타났다.

Recently, the number of occurrences of inundation and the severity of flood damage has increased rapidly as the frequency of localized heavy rainfall and the ratio of impervious area increased in urban areas. Most local governments focus on employing structural measures (e.g., the construction of detention reservoirs/pump stations, rehabilitation of drainage and sewer pipes) to prevent urban inundation. On the other hand, the effectiveness of implementing such structural measures is being dimished because there are already many inundation prevention facilities. The limitation of structural measures can be overcoming by employing non-structure measures, such as flood alerts and the operation of drainage facilities. This study suggests the pump operation rule (i.e., suggesting pump stop level) for a new detention reservoir operating method, which triggers the operation of a pump based on the water level at the monitoring node in urban drainage system. In the new reservoir operation, a total of 48 rainfall events are generated by the Huff distribution for determining the proper pump stop level. First, the generated rainfall events are distributed as frequencies, quartiles, and durations. The averaged system resilience value was determined to range from 1.2 m to 1.5 m is based on the rainfall-runoff simulation with rainfall generated by the Huff distribution. In this range, 1.2 m was identified considering the safety factor of 1.25 by the Standard on sewer facilities in 2011.

To estimate the severity of streamflow drought, this study introduced the concept of streamflow drought index based on threshold level method and Seomjingang Dam inflow was applied. Threshold levels used in this study are fixed, monthly and daily threshold, The $1^{st}{\sim}3^{rd}$ analysis results of annual drought, the severe hydrological droughts were occurred in 1984, 1988 and 1995 and the drought lasted for a long time. Annual compared to extreme values of total water deficit and duration, the drought occurred in 1984, 1988, 1995 and 2001 was serious level. In the results of study, because a fixed threshold level is not reflect seasonal variability, at least the threshold under seasonal level was required. Threshold levels determined by the monthly and daily were appropriate. The proposed methodology in this study can be used to forecast low-flow and determine reservoirs capacity.

최근 전세계적으로 발생하고 있는 기후변화로 인해 가뭄, 홍수, 태풍 등 자연재해의 빈도가 증가하고 있다. 특히, 강수량의 변동성이 커지면서 가뭄과 홍수가 단기간에 번갈아 가며 발생하는 경우가 자주 발생하고 있다. 가뭄과 홍수가 짧은 기간 동안에 교차해서 발생하는 급변사상은 예측하기 어려우며, 갑작스럽게 중첩되는 재난으로 인명과 재산피해 뿐 아니라 생태계에까지 심각한 영향을 미칠 것이다. 본 연구에서는 일 강수량 자료를 바탕으로 표준가중평균강수지수(Standard Weighted Average Precipitation, SWAP)를 산정하고 한강 유역의 가뭄-홍수 급변사상에 대한 특성을 분석하였다. 1966년부터 2018년까지의 한강유역 중권역별 면적평균강수량과 가중치, 이전 강수량의 영향을 받는 일수를 바탕으로 SWAP를 산정하였다. SWAP 지수가 10일 연속 -1 미만일 때를 가뭄이라 정의하고, 이후 SWAP 지수가 7일 연속 0.5 이상이면 가뭄사상이 종료된다고 판정하였다. 또한 SWAP 지수가 10일 연속 +1 초과일 때를 홍수라고 정의하고, SWAP 지수가 7일 연속 -0.5 이하가 되면 홍수사상이 종료된다고 판정하였다. 가뭄-홍수 급변사상이란 가뭄의 종료시점과 홍수의 시작시점의 차이가 5일 이내일 경우에 해당한다. 급변사상의 전·후로 강수량이 얼마나 급격하게 차이 나는지를 판단하기 위하여 급변 시점 전·후 5일의 누적 SWAP 지수인 심각도 K(Severity)를 분석지표로 활용하였다. K를 통해 한강유역 가뭄-홍수 급변사상의 시·공간적 분포를 분석하고 미래의 급변사상의 발생가능성을 예측할 수 있다. 본 연구 결과, 한강 유역의 24개 중권역 중에서 18개의 중권역이 가뭄-홍수 급변사상의 심각도가 점점 상승하는 추세이고, 가장 심각도 상승폭이 높은 중권역은 홍천강(1014)으로 첫 사상인 1967년부터부터 2015년의 마지막 사상까지 약 55% 정도 상승하였다.

Drought is a non-negligible disaster of nature and it is mainly caused by rainfall shortage for a long time though there are many definitions of drought. 'Standard Precipitation Index' (SPI) that is widely used to express the level of meteorological drought intensity has a limit of not being able to consider the hydrological changes such as rainfall and evapotranspiration caused by climate change, because it does not consider the temperature-related variables other than the precipitation. Recently, however, 'Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index' (SPEI), a drought index of new concept which is similar to SPI but can reflect the effect of temperature variability as well as the rainfall change caused by climate variation, was developed. In this study, the changes of drought occurrence in South Korea were analyzed by applying SPEI for meteorological data (1973~2011) of 60 climate observatories under Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA). As the result of application, both of SPI and SPEI showed the trend of deepening drought in spring and winter and mitigating drought in summer for the entire nation, with SPI showing greater drought intensity than SPI. Also, SPI and SPEI with 12 months of duration showed that severe droughts with low frequency of around 6 years are generally being repeated.

Women with the premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) report increased cravings for certain foods and altered taste preferences ding the premenstrual period. The objective of the present study was to investigate the association of PMDD with luteal phase food cravings, appetite, and taste preferences in 1,078 nurses. Among the 626 nurses who gave valid responses, the prevalence of PMDD and premenstrual syndrome (PMS) was 4.6% (N = 29) and 78.3% (N = 490), respectively. A highly significant increase was observed in the preference for sweet tasting foods during the luteal phase, compared to the follicular phase. Desire for sweet foods during the premenstrual period was significantly different among the three groups, being highest in the PMDD group, lower in the PMS group, and lowest in women with no symptoms. Both the PMDD and PMS groups showed significant increases in preferences for pungent tasting foods during the luteal phase. A repeated measures of analysis of variance on the taste preference data revealed that the desire for sweet tasting foods was significantly greater than for others such as salty, sour, and pungent tastes. A greater proportion of the subjects in the PMDD and PMS groups reported an increase in their total food intake during the luteal phase, compared to those women without premenstrual symptoms. Compared to the PMS group or the women with no symptoms, the PMDD group reported increased intakes of high carbohydrate foods during the luteal phase. The most commonly reported food cravings were for sauteed spicy rice cakes (ddukbokki), or for cold buckwheat noodles mixed in chili pepper sauce. These results indicate that the luteal phase food cravings, appetite and taste preferences change in accordance with the severity of the premenstrual symptoms.

Climate change and global warming are prevalent all over the world in this century and many researchers including hydrologists have studied on the climate change. This study also studied the impact of climate change on streamflows of a basin in Korea. The SWAT model was used to assess the impacts of potential future climate change on the streamflows of the Daecheong Dam Basin. Calibration and validation of SWAT were performed on a monthly basis for the year of 1982-1995 and 1996-2005, respectively. The impact of seven 15-year(1988-2002) scenarios were then analyzed for comparing it to the baseline scenario. Among them, scenario 1 was set to show the result of doubling $CO_2$, scenario 2-6 were set to show the results of temperature and precipitation change, and scenario 7 was set to show the result of the combination of climatologic components. A doubling of atmospheric $CO_2$ concentration is predicted to result in an maximum monthly flow increase of 11 percent. Non-linear impacts were predicted among precipitation change scenarios of -42, -17, 17, and 42 percent, which resulted in average annual flow changes in Daecheong Dam Basin of -55, -24, 25, and 64 percent. The changes in streamflow indicate that the Daecheong Dam Basin is very sensitive to potential future climate changes and that these changes could stimulate the increased period or severity of flood or drought events.
