Therefore, it was agreed that an earthquake monitoring station should be set up within the site of Handong University by analyzing drilling data and Disaster such as earthquakes is urgently needed to prepare for earthquakes in that people's lives and national development depend on the nation's ability to manage disasters. Many experts say that the Korean Peninsula is also under the influence of earthquakes and is not a safe zone for earthquakes. A seismological observatory will be established in Pohang to monitor ground sensors and study seismic characteristics through the task of "Development of Smart Sensor-based Intelligent Information Platform in Earthquake Region." Therefore, it was agreed to set up a seismological observatory within the site of Handong University by analyzing drilling data and conducting on-site surveys in northern Pohang, which were heavily damaged by liquefaction and earthquakes. In this study, it was decided to make a comprehensive judgment by considering the geological characteristics of the site, whether it can perform functions, and the convenience of construction and maintenance for the final site of the seismological observatory discussed with Handong University. After completing a feasibility review on selecting a site for Handong University, we will establish a seismological observatory and actively utilize it for seismic research using data from alarm issuance and seismic data in the event of a future earthquake.

The "Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral (KIGAM) Quake" is a web-based open platform developed for publicly serving seismological data from 61 stations operated by KIGAM in Korea. The service provides meta-information related to observatory sites, sensors, and recorders necessary for utilizing the seismological data, as well as mainly observed continuous and strong-motion waveforms. The data is available through both the web and International Federation of Digital Seismograph Networks (FDSN) web services (open API), a unified data-providing interface in seismology. The platform aims to strengthen its open nature by offering a signal processing function for strong ground motions that can be controlled by user requests. The processed results can be downloaded in ASCII format, designed to meet the increased demands and accessibility in the earthquake engineering field. The platform also offers earthquake research information produced by KIGAM, such as recent major earthquake source information and academic annual report of earthquakes. Additionally, a site flat file was constructed for the geotechnical characteristics of 61 KIGAM station (KGNET) sites based on direct investigations and estimations.

2016년 9월 경주 지진 이후 원자력발전소, 고층 빌딩, 주택, 교량 등 우리 사회의 설비 자산들이 과연 지진으로부터 얼마나 안전한가, 앞으로 안정성을 담보하기 위해 어떤 정책을 펼쳐야 하는가에 대한 관심이 높아졌다. 본 논문에서는 한반도에서 발생한 역사지진 및 계기지진 목록을 데이터로 사용하여, 멱법칙 분포를 통해 한반도 지진 기록의 크기 분포를 설명하는 모수를 추정한다. 또한 추정한 모수를 바탕으로 미래에 한반도에서 일정 규모 이상의 지진이 발생할 확률을 계산한다. 한반도 미래 지진 발생 확률 계산 모형을 통해 지진 위험도를 파악하고자 하는 것이 본 논문의 목적이다.

A high frequency level of Fourier amplitude relates with stress drop and seismic moment. When we can not use this relation owing to absence of digital earthquake data, stress drop and seismic moment can be determined from Peak Ground Velocity(PGV) and felt area. We have qualitatively evaluated the seismic characteristics using PGV, and Magnitude from the well determined felt area in seismological records of Korea(1978~2001) by Korea Meteorological Administration(KMA). Observed relations between felt area and magnitude in the Korean Peninsula are explained by attenuation(Q), and stress drops comparing with the previous researches on stress parameter. This results are preliminary work for the study of stress parameter using the relationship of high frequency lavel, PGV, and felt area.

In seismology, instrumental data is covering from the end of the last century and showing large uncertainties in earthquake parameters before 1960. The number and quality of seismological stations have been in steady increased over all the past decades of this century, and this development is still going on. In Korea, reliable instrumental data is only available since 1978 from KMA(Korea Meteorological Administration). However instrumental earthquake observation have started since 1905 by Japanese and seven seismic stations were in operation in 1941. We have compiled and analyzed the early instrumental earthquake data between 1905 and 1942. Total 533 events were analyzed and for 60 events, their epicentral coordinates and magnitude were determined

110 earthquake parameters (origin time, epicentral location and magnitude) were determined from 533 event records between 1905 and 1942 using data mainly from the "Annual Report of the Meteorological Observatory of the Government General of Tyosen" We adopted epicentral coordinates from the original reports for 34 events and from the Japanese Central Meteorological Observatory far another .34 events. We determined epicenters for 37 events using arrival time information from the reports. We adopted 4 epicenters from the International Seismological Summary and I from the Chinese bulletin. To determine the magnitude, we applied Tsuboi (1954) formula which is currently employed by Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) for 94 events. For 16 events, we determined magnitude from the reef)reed felt epicentral areal using the correlation equation between known magnitude and felt area.

Predictive equations of ground motions are one of the most important factors in the seismic hazard analysis. Unfortunately, studies on predictive equations of ground motions in Korea had been hampered due to the lack of seismic data. To overcome the lack of data, seismologists adopted the stochastic method based on the seismological model. Korean predictive equations developed by the stochastic method show large differences in their predictions. It was turned out through the analysis of the existing studies that the main sources of the differences are the uncertainties in the (Brune) stress drop and spectral decay rate . Therefore, it is necessary to focus the future research on the reduction of the uncertainties in the two parameters.

The Pohang earthquake with a magnitude of 5.4 occurred on November 15, 2018. The epicenter of this earthquake located in south-east region of the Korean peninsula. Since instrumental recording for earthquake ground motions started in Korea, this earthquake caused the largest economic and life losses among past earthquakes. Korea is located in low-to moderate seismic region, so that strong motion records are very limited. Therefore, ground motions recorded during the Pohang earthquake could have valuable geological and seismological information, which are important inputs for seismic design. In this study, ground motions associated by the 2018 Pohang earthquake are generated using the point source model considering domestic geological parameters (magnitude, hypocentral distance, distance-frequency dependent decay parameter, stress drop) and site amplification calculated from ground motion data at each stations. A contour map for peak ground acceleration is constructed for ground motions generated by the Pohang earthquake using the proposed model.

We compare with earthquake parameters of KMA(Korea Meteorological Administration) and ISC(International Seismological Centre) to understand characteristics of earthquake using 30 earthquakes data acquired from 1978 to 1998 in Korea. We calculate difference of KMA between ISC epicentral distance and analyze for magnitude and year. Difference of epicentral distance decreases according to increase of magnitude and have no concern with year. That is the lowest in case of earthquake occurring in land of south Korea. We estimate relation formula for magnitude of KMA and ESC. The result can be expressed in KMA( $M_{L}$) and ISC( $m_{b}$ ) as $M_{L}$$^{KMA}$ = 0.70* $m_{b}$ $^{ISC}$+1.03 and in KMA( $M_{L}$) and ISC( $M_{L}$ as $M_{L}$$^{KMA}$=0.47* $M_{L}$$^{ISC}$+1.37X> ISC/+1.371.371.37

The four agencies in Korea - KMA, KIGAM, KEPRI, and KINS - have been operating their own seismic network for many years. In this study we have developed an integrated seismic system named KISS (Korea Integrated Seismic System), which is very similar to LISS (Live Internet Seismic Server) of Albuquerque Seismological Laboratory. Through KISS we could share all the earthquake data observed by those organizations in near real time. This research result will lead to provide the opportunity to use all seismic information of the earthquakes around Korean peninsula. And KISS will make us enable to do systematic researches, such as study on focal mechanisms of earthquakes around Korean peninsula, seismic design, earthquake prediction, etc. KISS will be used in developing an Early Earthquake Warning System like TriNet in Southern California, USA so as to minimize seismic hazard.
