기후변화로 인한 해수면 상승이 우리나라 연안에 장기적으로 큰 영향을 줄 것으로 예측되어 다양한 방법을 사용하여 연안에 대한 해수면 상승의 취약성 평가가 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 사면이 바다와 접해 해수에 의한 침수가 빈번하여 향후 해수면 상승에 의한 피해가 클 것으로 예상되는 부산의 영도 해안을 대상으로 해수면 상승이 해안에 미치는 영향을 알아보고 그 대책을 마련하였다. 먼저 잠재적 해수면 상승률을 바탕으로 CAD를 이용한 해수면 상승 시뮬레이션을 실시하였으며 다음으로 시뮬레이션결과를 바탕으로 침수범위와 재해위험 지역을 종합적으로 고려하여 피해 예상지역을 추출하였고 최종적으로 침수특성에 따라 지구별로 세분하여 해당 지구에 적합한 대응전략을 수립하였다.

Sea level (MSL, MHWL, or MLWL) change has been main concern to scientists and engineers and it can be primarily due to both change of climate and vertical movement of land. This paper reports the intensive analysis of the sea level changes and broad discussion of the future at the southwestern coast of Korean peninsula. Regression analysis was conducted to investigate general tendency and periodicity of the sea levels at the six different study sites such as Gunsan-I(inner port), Gunsan-O(outer port), Mokpo, Yeosu, Heuksan and Jeju and the results were compared with global values. Besides the changes of sea levels due to global warming, the influence of the man-made structure such as seadike and seawall was attempted to quantify using the minimization of the Root Mean Square(RMS) error. The results show that it is a general tendency that the values of mean sea level rise at the southwestern coast of Korean Peninsula, especially at Gunsan-I and Jeju, are somewhat larger compared to global average values. There is also some evidence that tidal amplifications are found just after construction of man-made structure at Gunsan-I and Mokpo. However, both sites show different mechanism in relation to tidal choking, tidal flat and river discharge. The impact due to construction of man-made structure is considerably larger at Mokpo site, while the impacts due to man-made structure and the effect of sea level rise are relatively identical at Gunsan-I site. This study is expected to provide some intuition to future design.
