South Korea's territory is approximately 62% forested, and urban residential development near mountainous areas has become inevitable. However, localized heavy rainfall from climate change and increased forest destruction have led to a rise in sediment-related disasters in urban mountainous regions. To prevent such disasters, the Korea Forest Service developed a landslide hazard map, but it tends to overestimate risks on steep slopes, showing limitations in accurately predicting landslide occurrences. This study focuses on the Bangbae-dong area in Seoul, where debris flow damage occurred in August 2022. Using a digital terrain model, SINMAP, an infinite slope stability analysis method, was applied to predict landslide-prone areas. Subsequently, FLO-2D, a two-dimensional numerical model, was used to analyze debris flow behavior at locations identified as hazardous by SINMAP. The results classified the area as a slope-type debris flow region, with strong agreement between predicted hazard areas and actual debris flow events. Additionally, it was found that installing debris flow barriers at the affected sites could effectively block debris flows without overflow.
