ABSTRACT

Frequently reported volcanic eruption events such as Sakurajima volcano in 2013 have made people worried about the time of the Baekdusan volcanic eruption and the extent of it. Volcanic eruption may bring volcanic disasters including ash, pyroclastic flow, lahar and earthquake, of which, especially, volcanic ash of Baekdusan has assumed and reported to have an influence on Republic of Korea based on the wind direction. Previous researches have focused on the geological and atmospheric modeling and economic damage assessment in separate field. This study aims to integrate FALL3D volcanic ash modeling and economic damage assessment by designing and programming based on GIS data. The amount of ash deposition can be calculated by FALL3D model with controlling parameters and expressed in hazard map. The detailed information on the agricultural activities in the regional unit has been merged with economic damage assessment model, then we are able to draw volcanic ash damage map. This module will be a part of a volcanic ash response system and give an intuition of the dynamic concept of damage map. GeoSpatial information design and cartographical expression will cover the different fields such as volcanology, atmospheric science, civil engineering and economics to response the question “How much will Baekdusan volcano eruption affect our life and economy? The answer will depends on the input parameters of the integrated GIS model during the event.
