1 78th FIG Working Week 2016 Presented at the FIG Working Week 2016, Drought and Flood Prevention with Using Green Roofs May 2-6, 2016 in Christchurch, New Zealand and Building Spatial Information ` Gon Park

2 Introduction Increase in impervious surface areas in South Korea Increase in stormwater runoff Increase in funds for the River Improvement Project Million $801 $861 $887 $1,150 $928 $941 $1,076 1

3 Purposes extract impervious surface areas? What is the effective system to manage stormwater runoff? 2

4 Study Areas Seven metropolitan cities in South Korea City area (km 2 ) Population(million) Seoul Seoul Busan Incheon Daejeon Gwangju Daegu Ulsan Busan Daegu Incheon Gwangju Daejeon Ulsan Reference: 3

6 Literature Review Impervious Surface Areas Road Sidewalk Anthropogenic features through which water cannot infiltrate soil Associated with increasing urbanization A key indicator in assessing urban environments Driveway Parking lot Flood discharge: At least 250 percent higher in urban compared to forested catchments Rooftop However, accurate impervious surface extraction is still a challenge 5

7 Extracting Building Data SIMC Survey Information Management System made by Korea Land and Geospatial InformatiX Corporation 1. Selecting data types (buildings, roads, electric poles, sewerage manholes, and schools) 2. Selecting areas (States, cities, and streets) Results of data 3. Downloading spatial data Simple process to extract building data 6

8 Extracting Building Data Building data From to Numbers of new buildings Roof area (m 2 ) Seoul Busan Daegu Incheon Gwangju , , ,640 44, ,234 32,751 Daejeon Ulsan , ,131 Total 3,674 1,538,700 m 2 7

9 Extracting Building Data Urbanization rates in 2015 Building data are related with building register by constructing new buildings Seoul > Busan > Ulsan > Incheon > Daegu > Gwangju > Daejeon Impervious surface areas from constructing buildings Seoul = Twenty times higher urbanization rates than Daejeon Reference: 8

11 Literature Review Green Roofs Benefits Energy savings Stormwater Management Air quality Urban heat island Water quality Life cycle Biodiversity Fire Protection Noise pollution Intensive systems Extensive systems 10

12 Methods Reduced stormwater runoff with installing green roofs - Roof area Annual precipitation 56% Cost benefits from reducing stormwater runoff with installing green roofs - Reduced stormwater runoff($/kgal) $2.27 Cost benefits from saving stormwater runoff with installing water tanks - The amount of water a family uses for toilets(m 3 ) numbers of buildings $

13 Drought Prevention 가뭄예방魃豫防

14 Literature Review Drought Prevention Water cisterns with green roofs New York - Sustainable Stormwater Management Plan Cisterns harvest stormwater in large above or below-ground tanks to store water from downspout. Cisterns can be placed underground or inside buildings. The appropriate location of a cistern depends upon the configuration of roof drains and the routing of plumbing infrastructure. 13

15 Drought Prevention Cost-benefits from installing water cisterns on 1,538,700 m 2 of roof areas on 3,674 buildings Seoul Busan Daegu Incheon Gwangju Daejeon Ulsan Saved water for toilets (Tons) 133,009 56,048 10,226 42,209 7,919 8,303 22,681 Cost-benefits (Dollars) 83,852 35,334 6,446 26,610 4,992 5,235 14,298 Total 280,395 Tons 176,768 Dollars 14
