Abstract

At present, there has been a wide range of studies on debris flow in Korea, more specifically, on rainfall characteristics that trigger debris flow including rainfall intensity, rainfall duration, and preceding rainfall. the prediction of landslide / debris flow relies on the criteria for landslide watch and warning by the Korea Forest Service (KFS, 2012). Despite this, it has been found that most incidents of debris flow were caused by rainfall above the level of landslide watch, maximum hourly rainfall, extensive damage was caused even under the watch level. Under these circumstances, we calculated a rainfall triggering index (RTI) using the main factors that trigger debris flow-rainfall, rainfall intensity, and cumulative rainfall-to design a more sophisticated watch / warning criteria than those by the KFS. The RTI was classified into attention, caution, alert, and evacuation, and was assessed through the application of two debris flow incidents that occurred in Umyeon Mountain, Seoul, and Cheongju, Inje, causing serious damage and casualties. Moreover, we reviewed the feasibility of the RTI by comparing it with the KFS's landslide watch / warning criteria (KFS, 2012).

우리나라의 토석류에 관한 연구들을 살펴보면 강우강도 및 강우지속시간, 선행강우 등의 토석류를 유발하는 강우의 특성과 토석류 발생 등에 대한 다양한 연구가 수행되고 있으며, 현재 산사태 및 토석류 예보는 산림청에서 제시한 산사태 경보 및 주의보 기준(Korea forest service, 2012)을 사용하고 있다. 그러나 산림청의 예보기준만으로 볼 때, 대부분의 피해는 주의보 기준 이상의 강우에서 발생한 것으로 나타났고, 또한 최대시강우량의 경우 주의보 이하의 강우에서도 많은 피해가 발생하였다(Hwang et al., 2013). 따라서 본 연구에서는 산림청에서 제시한 산사태 경보기준 보다 더욱 세밀한 예 경보 기준을 산정하기 위해 토석류 발생원인 인자인 강우량, 강우강도 및 누적강우량을 이용하여 강우경보지수(rainfall triggering index, 이하 RTI)를 산정하였으며, 이를 등급화 하여 관심, 주의, 경계, 대피로 구분하여 토석류 피해가 발생했던 서울시 우면산, 청주시, 인제군 피해사례를 적용하여 평가하였다. 또한 기존에 산림청에서 제시한 산사태 경보 및 주의보 기준과 비교하여 적용성을 검토하였다.
