Abstract

Catastrophe risk models require the damage functions of each vulnerable item in inventory to estimate volcanic ash losses. The damage functions are used to represent the relation between damage factors and damage and also widely used in engineering and natural hazard studies to calculate the vulnerability. In most cases, damage functions are constructed as fragility or vulnerability curves, and researchers are confused by the similarities between them particularly when they perform interdisciplinary research. Thus, we aim to explain the similarities and differences between fragility and vulnerability curves and their relationship by providing case studies to construct them. In addition, we suggest a simple method to construct the damage functions between damage ratio and volcanic ash thickness using limited damage data. This study comes from the fact that damage functions are generally constructed using damage data. However, there is no available volcanic ash damage data in Korea, and not even enough volcanic disaster data to construct damage functions in the world, compared to other hazards. Using the method suggested in the study and the limited damage data from Japan and New Zealand, we construct Weibull-type functions or linear functions dependent of available data to calculate volcanic ash loss estimation, which we think need to be corrected to make it more suitable for inventory characteristics and environmental conditions in Korea.

재난 리스크 모델을 활용하여 화산재 손실을 평가하기 위해서는 목적물별 손상함수가 정의되어야 한다. 손상함수란 목적물의 재해취약도를 정량화한 함수로, 공학 및 자연재해 연구 분야에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 특히 손상도, 취약성 곡선 등으로 연구되고 있는데, 학제간 연구를 수행하는 과정에서 혼란을 주기도 한다. 이에 본 연구는 손상함수의 유형을 정리하고, 손상함수를 구축한 사례를 소개하고자 한다. 손상함수는 일반적으로 과거 피해사례를 기반으로 구축된다. 국내에 화산재 피해사례가 없음을 고려할 때, 남한지역의 화산재 손상함수를 구축하기 위해서는 해외사례를 참고하여야 할 것이다. 한편 국외에서도 화산재에 대한 손상함수 연구는 다른 재난에 비해 적은데, 화산 피해사례도 적은편이다. 이에 본 연구는 극소수 피해자료를 활용하여 손상함수를 구축할 수 있는 방안을 제시하고, 뉴질랜드와 일본에서 보고된 실제 피해사례를 바탕으로 와이블함수 혹은 선형함수의 취약성 곡선을 구축하였다. 본 연구가 해외사례를 기반으로 손상함수를 구축하였음을 고려할 때, 본 연구에서 제시하는 손상함수를 이용하여 남한지역의 화산재 손실을 평가하기 위해서는 국내 목적물 특성 및 환경 조건에 맞게 손상함수를 보정할 필요가 있다.
