This study developed a ten-step procedure of integrated watershed management (IWM) for sustainability to rehabilitate the distorted hydrologic cycle and identified spatial hazard ranking(step 2). Spatial hazard indices, Potential flood damage (PFD), potential streamflow depletion (PSD), potential water quality deterioration (PWQD), and watershed evaluation index (WEI) were developed using multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) techniques and sustainability evaluation concept(pressure-state-response model). The used MCDM techniques are composite programming, compromise programing, Regime method, and EVAMIX approach which are classified by data availability and objectives (prefeasibility and feasibility).

Recently, it is expected that small hydropower (SHP) could potentially provide sufficient amounts of alternative energy in Korea where there is an abundance of potential sites and where social efforts are being made to reduce the emissions of green house gases. In the past, the resources survey for SHP development has been carried out using onsite surveys and paper maps, which incurred a great deal of time and cost. Furthermore, the tools for decision making such as determining development priorities or evaluating feasibility have been considered only economic aspect and focused on the performance characteristics of power generation. However, as the concept of sustainable development has been being advanced in recent years, especially focused on human-social, environmental and ecological in addition to economical sector; the consideration of these multiple criteria has become essential for sustainable SHP development. This study aims to propose the spatial multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methodology for determining priorities among a number of locations on the planning stage of SHP development using AHP and GIS. The proposed methodology is applied for determining development priorities among the SHP locations in Cho River basin and this study presents the detailed spatial information data and the results of development priorities. As a fundamental work, this study will be beneficial to the future activation of SHP development and will help the decision making in evaluating the feasibility of SHP development.

In mountain accident events, it is important for the search team commander to determine the search area in order to secure the Golden Time. Within this period, assistance and treatment to the concerned individual will most likely prevent further injuries and harm. This paper proposes a method to determine the search priority area based on missing persons behavior and missing persons incidents statistics. GIS (Geographic Information System) and MCDM (Multi Criteria Decision Making) are integrated by applying WLC (Weighted Linear Combination) techniques. Missing persons were classified into five types, and their behavioral characteristics were analyzed to extract seven geographic analysis factors. Next, index values were set up for each missing person and element according to the behavioral characteristics, and the raster data generated by multiplying the weight of each element are superimposed to define models to select search priority areas, where each weight is calculated from the AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) through a pairwise comparison method obtained from search operation experts. Finally, the model generated in this study was applied to a missing person case through a virtual missing scenario, the priority area was selected, and the behavioral characteristics and topographical characteristics of the missing persons were compared with the selected area. The resulting analysis results were verified by mountain rescue experts as 'appropriate' in terms of the behavior analysis, analysis factor extraction, experimental process, and results for the missing persons.

Recently, the flood inundation caused by heavy rainfall in urban area is increasing due to global warming. The variability of climate change is described in the IPCC 5th report (2014). The precipitation pattern and hydrological system is varied by climate change. Since the heavy rainfall surpassed the design capacity of the pipeline, it caused great damage in metropolitan cities such as Seoul and Busan. Inundation in urban area is primarily caused by insufficient sewer capacity and surplus overflow of river. Inundation in urban area with concentrated population is more dangerous than rural and mountains areas, because it is accompanied by human casualties as well as socio-economic damage to recover destruction of roads, brides and underground spaces. In addition, various factors such as an increase in impervious area, a short time of concentration to outlet, and a shortage of sewer capacity's lack increase flooding damage. In this study, flood inundation analysis was conducted for vulnerable areas using XP-SWMM. Also, three structural flood prevention measures such as drainage pipeline construction, detention reservoir construction, and flood pumping station construction are applied as flood damage prevention alternatives. The flood data for each alternative were extracted by dividing the basin by grid. The Spatial Compromise Programming are applied using flood assessment criteria, such as maximum inundation depth, inundation time, and construction cost. The purpose of this study is to reflect the preference of alternatives according to geographical condition even in the same watershed and to select flood defense alternative considering regional characteristics.

우리나라 뿐만 아니라 세계 각지에서 태풍이나 집중호우로 인한 침수피해가 증가하고 있다. 그 원인으로는 수공구조물의 설계빈도를 초과하는 강우, 도시지역 확장으로 인한 불투수지역의 확대, 배수시설의 용량부족 등이 있다. 본 연구에서는 수치지형도, 토양도, 토지이용도 등 누구나 쉽게 구할 수 있는 자료를 이용하여 홍수로 인한 피해가 발생하기 쉬운 지역을 선별하고자 하였다. 우선 강우가 지표면에 도달하게 되면 지표면의 경사, 토양의 특성, 토지이용 등에 영향을 받아 침투되지 못하고 표면에 고이게 되는데 이를 유출생성지도로 표현하였다. 그리고 이렇게 생성된 표면유출수가 지표면의 경사, 지표면의 요철(凹凸), 도로나 철도 등의 인공선형축 등에 영향을 받아 흐르기 쉬우며 이를 유출이동지도로 표현하였다. 또한, 이동된 유출수가 고이기 쉬운 저지대, 지표면의 요철 등으로 인해 누적되는 유출누적지도로 표현하였다. 유출생성지도는 이동, 누적지도의 입력자료가 되어 상류의 유출생성의 정도가 하류지역에 영향을 주도록 하였으며, 최종적으로 유출이 동지도와 누적지도가 실제 침수흔적도와 얼마나 일치하는지 확인하기 위해 서울시 침수흔적도와 비교하였다. 기존의 재해 지도를 얻기 위해서는 강우량을 조사하여 수치모형에 입력함으로써 1차원 또는 2차원의 침수예상도를 작성하는 반면에 본 연구에서는 지형 정보만을 가지고 취약지구를 선정하기 때문에 유역전체 또는 시, 도 단위로 광범위한 연구 영역에 적용이 가능하다. 또한, Spatial MCDM 등을 통해 여러 Raster 자료를 하나의 지표로 나타내기보다 유출수가 생성(또는 이동, 누적)되기 쉬운 지역을 1, 그렇지 않은 지역은 0으로 표현하는 이분법적 분석을 통해 가중치설정과 모호한 경계의 처리 때문에 사용자 및 자료에 따라 취약한 지역이 달라지는 것을 방지하고자 하였다. 이를 통해 표면 유출수로 인해 침수피해가 발생하기 쉬운 지역을 홍수취약지구로 선정하여 침수재해 중점관리 우선순위가 될 수 있도록 하였다.

This study aimed to develop the indicator-based approach to assess water use vulnerability in watersheds and applied to the unit watershed within the Han River watershed. Vulnerability indices were comprised of three sub-components (exposure, sensitivity, adaptive capacity) with respect to water use. The indicators were made up of 16 water use indicators. Then we estimated vulnerability indices using the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution approach (TOPSIS). We collected environmental and socio-economic data from national statistics database, and used them for simulated results by the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model. For estimating the weighted values for each indicator, expert surveys for subjective weight and data-based Shannon's entropy method for objective weight were utilized. With comparing the vulnerability ranks and analyzing rank correlation between two methods, we evaluated the vulnerabilities for the Han River watershed. For water use, vulnerable watersheds showed high water use and the water leakage ratio. The indices from both weighting methods showed similar spatial distribution in general. Such results suggests that the approach to consider different weighting methods would be important for reliably assessing the water use vulnerability in watersheds.
