This study proposes a methodology for the regional seismic risk assessment of structural damage to buildings in Korea based on evaluating individual buildings, considering inconsistency between the administrative district border and grid lines to define seismic hazard. The accuracy of seismic hazards was enhanced by subdividing the current 2km-sized grids into ones with a smaller size. Considering the enhancement of the Korean seismic design code in 2005, existing seismic fragility functions for seismically designed buildings are revised by modifying the capacity spectrum according to the changes in seismic design load. A seismic risk index in building damage is defined using the total damaged floor area considering building size differences. The proposed seismic risk index was calculated for buildings in 29 administrative districts in 'A' city in Korea to validate the proposed assessment algorithm and risk index. In the validation procedure, sensitivity analysis was performed on the grid size, quantitative building damage measure, and seismic fragility function update.

This study provides comprehensive assessment results for the most recent high-resolution regional climatology in the East/Japan Sea by comparing with the various existing climatologies. This new high-resolution climatology is generated based on the Optimal Interpolation (OI) method with individual profiles from the World Ocean Database and gridded World Ocean Atlas provided by the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). It was generated from the recent previous study which had a primary focus to solve the abnormal horizontal gradient problem appearing in the other high-resolution climatology version of NCEI. This study showed that this new OI field simulates well the mesoscale features including closed-curve temperature spatial distribution associated with eddy formation. Quantitative spatial variability was compared to the other four different climatologies and significant variability at 160 km was presented through a wavelet spectrum analysis. In addition, the general improvement of the new OI field except for warm bias in the coastal area was confirmed from the comparison with serial observation data provided by the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute’s Korean Oceanic Data Center.

본 연구는 국내 염습지 해안 복원의 주요 식물인 갈대와 내건성 대표 식물인 억새의 지역별 유전자형 분석을 통해 지역별 복원종자 적용에 대한 타당성을 검증고자 하는 연구로서, SNP를 활용한 근연관계 분석 결과 억새는 홍성군 집단이 다른 지역과 상이한 유전적 변이를 보인 반면, 갈대는 모든 지역에서 동시다발적인 변이양상이 나타낸다. 이를 통하여 억새의 경우 우리나라 전역에 발생하는 건조지에서 억새시료를 사용할 때는 지역별로 수집한 종자를 활용하는 것이 합리적이나 부득이하게 다른 지역의 식물 자원을 사용한다고 해도 유전적인 교란이 크게 발생하지 않을것으로 보인다. 갈대의 경우 전 지역에서 유전적 변이가 다양하며 억새에 비하여 유전적 변이가 상대적으로 많이 나타나고 있기 때문에 염류 피해지의 복원에 활용할 수 있는 자원인 갈대의 경우 종자를 지역별로 수집하기 위한 다양한 인프라를 구축하여 향후 복원 사업에 대비하여야 한다.

It is a significant issue for several country including Korea, where the natural and the weather conditions are severe, to keep the safety against disasters which occur frequently every year, especially in urban region crowded with population. In order to implement suitable and effective measures against various disasters in such area, development of method for evaluation of disaster prevention performance based on various disaster risks and effective disaster damage mitigation technologies is independable. In this paper, methods for hazard evaluation, vulnerability evaluation and loss evaluation, and damage technologies are proposed targetting man-made disaster and natural one like flood, earthquake and tsunami and so on. The method proposed in this paper is based on the research of USA and Japan for man-made disaster and natural disaster. The proposed method will be developed in detail in four years during research period funded by government.

This study analyzed future projections on daily mean values and extremes for temperature and daily precipitation over Seoul metropolitan city using bias-corrected high-resolution multi-regional climate models. The factors of uncertainty for the future projection of climate variables were defined. In the time series analysis of future projections for regional climate models, the average daily temperature and the number of days of the hot day-hot night were predicted to have a stable trend in the RCP2.6 scenario, and showed a tendency to increase continuously in the RCP8.5 scenario. The daily mean precipitation and RX1day (annual daily maximum precipitation) had large annual variabilities in the models. In the estimation of the fraction of total variance, the daily mean temperature was dominated by the internal variability in the early 21st century and the most contributing to the scenario uncertainty in the late 21st century. The daily mean precipitation showed a remarkable contribution from the internal variability over the entire period. The number of days of the hot day-hot night showed a similar contribution pattern to that of the daily mean temperature. For the RX1day, the internal variability dominated over the entire period, and the scenario uncertainty had little contribution. This study will help establish more scientific climate change adaptation policies by providing the uncertainty information for future climate change projection.

최근 들어 기후변화로 인한 수자원 분야의 잠재적 영향 예측 및 평가를 위한 연구를 활발히 수행하고는 있으나, 수문기상학적인 자연현상을 정확히 예측하기란 사실상 어려운 일이며, 불확실성이 매우 크다는 문제점과 지역규모 유역의 기후변화 영향에 대한 종합적 평가기준이 아직까지 모호하다는 어려움을 안고 있다. 최근에 실시된 4대강 정비 사업은 변화된 하천 조건과 기후변화에 따른 유역의 수자원 예측의 불확실성과 기후변화 영향 평가와 대응책 마련의 어려움을 더욱 가중시키는 인자로 작용할 수 있다. 그러나 아직까지 일반화된 지역규모 유역에 대한 수문학적 통합위험지수에 대한 연구는 기초단계에 있으며, 지역적 규모의 기후변화 영향분석 및 취약성 평가를 위한 개념적 인자분류 체계 구축을 통한 표준화 연구의 수행이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 4대강 하천정비 사업 이후 행정구역단위 중소규모 유역에 대하여 통합지역위험지수 산정을 통한 개념적 인자분류체계를 구축하여 기후변화와 수자원 영향 평가를 실시하였다. 본 연구는 기후변화로 인한 수문학적 위험성을 표준화하고 정량화된 값으로 제시할 수 있다는 점에서 장점이 있으며, 최근 4대강 사업으로 인하여 변화된 하천유역에 대하여 지역적 규모의 수문학적 위험도 변화를 효율적으로 평가하고, 체계적인 수자원 관리계획과 기후변화 적응을 위한 지역의 통합위험성 평가를 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In analyzing the inundation area attributed to the sea level brought about by climate change, previous researchers derived a different inundation area from the actual one by applying a uniform sea level rise without taking into account the regional mean sea level. This study has attempted to analyze the inundation area by devising a sea-level rise scenario that considers the regional mean sea level of the study area. In addition, a comparative analysis was conducted on the area of inundation vulnerabilities between the sea level rise scenario that takes into account the regional mean sea level and one that does not. As a result of study, an error between the actual mean sea level and topographic elevation was corrected by using the height of the tide observation data of the area. Next, a total of nine scenarios on the sea level rise of the Taean region (SLR-T 1.1~SLR-T 3.3) were devised using the IPCC SRES scenario, RCP 8.5 scenario, height of the tide data and storm surge height, among others. Finally, the results showed that the inundation area by scenario was at least 4.17km2(SLR-T 1.1) up to 168.41km2(SLR-T 3.3), which was about 45% less than that of the scenario devised without considering the mean sea level that reflects the regional differences. In other words, results of the analysis on the inundation area using conventional methods turned out to be wider than that of the actual inundation area.

Recently, the occurrences of droughts have been increased because of global warming and climate change. Water resources that mostly rely on groundwater are particularly vulnerable to the impact of precipitation variation, one of the major elements of climate change, are very sensitive to changes in the seasonal distribution as well as the average annual change in the viewpoint of agricultural activity. In this study, the status of drought for the present and future on Jeju Island which entirely rely on groundwater using SPI and PDSI were analyzed considering regional distribution of crops in terms of land use and fluctuation of water demand. The results showed that the precipitation distribution in Jeju Island is changed in intensity as well as seasonal variation of extreme events and the amount increase of precipitation during the dry season in the spring and fall indicated that agricultural water demand and supply policies would be considered by regional characteristics, especially the western region with largest market garden crops. Regarding the simulated future drought, the drought would be mitigated in the SPI method because of considering total rainfall only excluding intensity variation, while more intensified in the PDSI because it considers the evapotranspiration as well as rainfall as time passed. Moreover, the drought in the northern and western regions is getting worse than in the southern region so that the establishment of regional customized policies for water supply in Jeju Island is needed.
