초록

Flood risk in small streams is rising under climate change, as small catchments are highly vulnerable to short, intense storms. We develop a high-resolution assessment that integrates a Digital Surface Model (DSM), a Digital Elevation Model (DEM), and airborne LiDAR within a MATLAB (2025b) hydraulic workflow. A hybrid elevation model uses the DEM as baseline and selectively retains DSM-derived structures (levees, bridges, embankments), while filtering vegetation via DSM-DEM differencing with a 1.0 m threshold and a 2-pixel kernel. We simulate 10-, 30-, 50-, 100-, and 200-year return periods and calibrate the 200-year case to the July 2025 Sancheong event (793.5 mm over 105 h; peak 100 mm h-1). The hybrid approach improves predictions over DEM-only runs, capturing localized depth increases of 1.5-2.0 m behind embankments and reducing false positives in vegetated areas by 12-18% relative to raw DSM use. Multi-frequency maps show progressive expansion of inundation; in the 100-year scenario, 68% of the inundated area exceeds 2.0 m depth, while 0-1.0 m zones comprise only 13% of the footprint. Unlike previous DSM-DEM studies, this work introduces a selective integration approach that distinguishes structural and vegetative features to improve the physical realism of small-stream flood modeling. This transferable framework supports climate adaptation, emergency response planning, and sustainable watershed management in small-stream basins.
