The DMZ refers to a demilitarized zone where no military army or weaponry is permitted, 2km away from the truce line on each side of the border. • Establishment of the demilitarized zone along the 248km-long (on land) and 200km-long (in the west sea) ceasefire line • In terms of land area, it accounts for 0.5% (907km2) of the total land area of the Korean Peninsula The PLZ refers to the border area including the DMZ.

  • Development of Flood Damage Regression Models by Rainfall Identification Reflecting Landscape Features in Gangwon Province, the Republic of Korea
    land Article Development of Flood Damage Regression Models by Rainfall Identification Reflecting Landscape Features in Gangwon Province, the Republic of Korea Hyun Il Choi Department of Civil Engineering, Yeungnam University, 280 Daehak-Ro, Gyeongsan 38541, Gyeongbuk, Korea; [email protected]; Tel.: +82-53-810-2413 Abstract: Torrential rainfall events associated with rainstorms and typhoons are the main causes of flood-related economic losses in Gangwon Province, Republic of Korea. The frequency and severity of flood damage have been increasing due to frequent extreme rainfall events as a result of climate change. Rainfall is a major cause of flood damage for the study site, given a strong relationship between the probability of flood damage over the last two decades and the maximum rainfall for 6 and 24 h durations in the 18 administrative districts of Gangwon Province. This study aims to develop flood damage regression models by rainfall identification for use in a simplified and efficient assessment of flood damage risk in ungauged or poorly gauged regions. Optimal simple regression models were selected from four types of non-linear functions with one of five composite predictors averaged for the two rainfall datasets. To identify appropriate predictor rainfall variables indicative of regional landscape features, the relationships between the composite rainfall predictor and landscape characteristics such as district size, topographic features, and urbanization rate were interpreted. The proposed optimal regression models may provide governments and policymakers with an efficient flood damage risk map simply using a regression outcome to design or forecast rainfall data.

Development of Keywords: flood damage; rainfall; landscape; simple regression; damage risk map Flood Damage Regression Models by Rainfall Identification Reflecting Landscape Features in Gangwon Province, the Republic of Korea.

    DISSERTATION HAZARD AREA MAPPING DURING EXTREME RAINSTORMS IN SOUTH KOREAN MOUNTAINS Submitted by Jaehoon Kim Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Fall 2012 Doctoral Committee: Advisor: Pierre Y. Julien Chester C. Watson Christopher I. Thornton Lee H. MacDonald Copyright by Jaehoon Kim 2012 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT HAZARD AREA MAPPING DURING EXTREME RAINSTORMS IN SOUTH KOREAN MOUNTAINS The concern for climate change has increased worldwide. Localized rain storms with high intensity and short duration have been observed in the United States, Europe, Australia, and China. South Korea is one of the countries that have also been impacted by extreme rainfall events during typhoons. Extreme rainstorms have caused major damage from landslides and debris flows in the South Korean mountains. The Duksan Creek watershed in South Korea was selected to simulate surface runoff using TREX during the extreme rainstorm precipitation event from July 14 to July 16, 2006. The maximum hourly rainfall was 62 mm on July 15 in 2006. The three hour rainfall from 08:00 AM to 11:00AM on this day was 168 mm. This rainstorm triggered 518 landslides and caused major infrastructure damage from debris flows. The three hour rainfall precipitation has a 100 year return period. The TREX model was calibrated in two mountainous regions of South Korea. The relative percent difference of time to peak and peak discharge on the Naerin Stream and the Naesung Stream were 6.25 %, -2.58 % and 1.90 %, -0.25 %, respectively.

That is, the purpose of this dissertation research is to better understand how South Korean local government officials perceive the current practice, future prospects, and potential avenues for development of multi-lateral cross-boundary collaboration among the governments that they work for. To this purpose, I first conduct literature review on cross-boundary intergovernmental organizations, both in the United States and in other countries. Then, I conduct literature review on regional intergovernmental organizations (RIGOs).

  • Chikchi Temple
    175 Hyonsong for Yi, and Yi's own preface to the work. The final volume contains an epilogue written by Yi Shik. There had been other literary collections before Chibong yuso! that contained writings on various topics such as science, government and literature, but none were as extensive as this work. The contents of each volume are as follows: Volume one contains information regarding astronomy, the seasons and calendar, and natural disasters. Volume two details the geography of Chosen and of other countries. The third volume discusses the kingship, and military organisation and strategy. Volume four is devoted to descriptions and duties of various government positions. The fifth to seventh volumes deliberate the qualities of Confucianism, the Chinese classics and Chinese characters. Volumes eight to fourteen are devoted to various literary writings. Volume fifteen discusses various personages, upright moral behaviour and physical appearance. The sixteenth volume is devoted to language, and the seventeenth to human and miscellaneous affairs. In volume eighteen the arts and moral affairs are presented, and in volume nineteen palaces, dress customs and food are discussed. The twentieth and final volume relays information concerning plants, animals and insects. The work contains a total of 3 435 articles divided into twenty-five main categories and further sub-divided into 182 headings. As outlined above, the works covers a broad number of topics that heretofore had not been accomplished in a single work. Moreover, Chibong yusol marks a trend in Chosen academics towards practical study as opposed to empty theoretical works that dominated this time. The structure of this work served as the foundation for later works that continued the practical approach to scholarship such as Sangha sasol (Insignificant Explanations) written by Yi Ik (1682-1764), Sunoji ot Hong Manjong (1643-1725), Kogiim songnim (Past and Present Glossaries) by Yi Uibong (1733-1801) and Mulmyong yugo (Categorical Explanations of Names and Things) written by Yu Hili (1773-1837).
