Abstract: Flooding volume in urban areas is not linearly proportional to flooding damage because,
in some areas, no flooding damage occurs until the flooding depth reaches a certain point, whereas
flooding damage occurs in other areas whenever flooding occurs. Flooding damage is different
from flooding volume because each subarea has different components. A resilience index for urban
drainage systems was developed based on flooding damage. In this study, the resilience index
based on flooding damage in urban areas was applied to the Sintaein basin in Jeongup, Korea.
The target watershed was divided into five subareas according to the status of land use in each
subarea. The damage functions between flooding volume and flooding damage were calculated by
multi-dimensional flood damage analysis. The extent of flooding damage per minute was determined
from the results of flooding volume per minute using damage functions. The values of the resilience
index based on flooding damages were distributed from 0.797292 to 0.933741. The resilience index
based on flooding damage suggested in this study can reflect changes in urban areas and can be used
for the evaluation of flood control plans such as the installation, replacement, and rehabilitation of
drainage facilities.
1. Introduction
Heavy rainfall resulting from climate change can lead to inundation in urban areas; therefore,
a proper evaluation of urban drainage systems is required. The proper evaluation of urban drainage
systems is an important factor in the design and operation of urban drainage facilities. Many
researchers have studied resilience in urban cities and drainage systems. In the 1990s, the concept
of sustainability was introduced in urban cities and research on developing sustainable urban
development models was conducted [1]. The role of urban parks in a sustainable city and the meanings,
models, and metaphors of resilient cities for various factors such as sporting, relax, being with children,
meeting others, escaping from city, walking the dog, being in nature, meditating and getting inspiration
were suggested [2,3]. A sustainable city model with global sustainability with global capital, city
capacity and city condition was determined [4]. Risk and resilience were incorporated to enhance the
sustainability of urban water systems using the concept of ecosystem resilience including potable water
use, gross pollutants, cost and social acceptance [5]. The roles of risk, resilience, and environmentally
sustainable cities were studied in order to frame national security and energy policies [6]. The concept
of resilience was introduced based on these studies.
In the 2010s, a new concept of sustainability and resilience in urban systems was proposed.
Sustainability and resilience with non-equilibrium, adaptive planning and design considering bus
routes and urban drainage swales were applied in the new urban world [7]. Collaborative research
in urban areas to quantify the cost-effectiveness of resilience and integrative flood management
was announced [8]. A resilience-based design and a management paradigm for unpredictable
and manmade catastrophic disasters was suggested as well as the concept of sustainable, robust,
and resilient water distribution systems [9,10]. A conceptual framework for designing, planning,
and managing resilient cities was constructed, considering climate change and environmental
risk [11,12]. The integration of risk and resilience in engineering systems was adapted to manage
natural and man-made catastrophes [13]. A conceptual framework with various factors such as climate
change, rapid urbanization, and population growth was created for mitigation, adaptation, and coping
strategies [14]. Resilience-based failure mode effects and a criticality analysis for regional water supply
system were proposed [15]. Recently, various resilience studies on urban systems including various
factors emerged.
Recently, resilience in urban drainage systems has been studied though research that focused on
the resilience in urban cities and water distribution systems. A global analysis approach considering
link failure, flood volume and flood duration was used to investigate structural resilience in urban
drainage systems and resilient urban drainage as options for optimized area management [16,17].
A social-ecological index for measuring flood resilience and multifunctional urban flood resilience
enhancement strategies were suggested [18,19]. A global analysis approach considering flood volume
was used for the evaluation of functional resilience in urban drainage systems [20]. Cooperative
operation of centralized and decentralized reservoirs was proposed for flood reduction and resilience
about flooding volume in urban drainage systems [21]. Resilience studies applied to urban cities and
drainage systems were introduced.
Resilience of urban area to flooding has also been studied. In urban drainage systems, the details
of the flooding and the measures were conducted to mitigate such floods in the future [22]. Reflexivity,
knowledge and adaptation were used for describing the potential urban form of a flood-resilient
urban area [23]. A methodology of urban flooding resilience was aimed to be organized into a
software tool the choice of vulnerability indicators and the integration of the point of view of various
stakeholders [24]. Learning and action alliances for the integration of flood risk management into
urban planning was suggested [25]. Urban flooding resilience was introduced as a key focus of
flooding management [26].
The resilience of earlier research focused on the flood volume in urban drainage systems. Failure
in urban drainage systems was defined as flooding or malfunctioning of urban drainage facilities [21].
A regional classification was required because flooding depth is not linked to flooding damage in
some areas, but it is linked to flooding damage in other areas. In this study, multi-dimensional flood
damage analysis (MD-FDA) was applied to divide the target area into several subareas according to
the status of land use and to obtain regional damage functions between flooding volume and damage.
The results of minutely flooding volume at each node by rainfall runoff simulation were obtained and
were converted to minutely flooding damage. The resilience index for flooding damage was suggested
and applied to the target area.
2. Methodologies
This study consists of six parts. The first part is application of MD-FDA for obtaining flooding
damages at each subarea. The second part is obtaining damage functions based on relations between
flooding volume and damage at each subarea. The third part is generation of synthetic rainfall data
for rainfall runoff simulation. The fourth part is obtaining the results of minutely flooding volume
by rainfall runoff simulations. The fifth part is conversion of flooding volume to flooding damage by
damage functions. The last part is application of the results of flooding damage to resilience index.
The flowchart for this study is shown in Figure 1.

In agricultural area, the property value of farmlands consists of rice paddy and dry field. The price
per area of rice paddy and dry field is based on the data of Korea Appraisal Board [29], and each
Water 2017, 9, 428 5 of 15
buried area and dry field are priced differently. The property value of farmlands in agricultural area
can be calculated by multiplying areas of rice paddy and dry field by assessment about price of the
buried and lost areas. The property value of crops in agricultural area consists of types of crops, areas
of rice paddy and dray field and consumer price index. The cost by types of crops is based on the
production cost of agricultural products [29]. Areas of rice paddy and dry field are same as farmland.
The consumer price index is also based on the data of Statistics Korea [29]. Table 4 shows the estimation
of property values [27].

In industrial areas, the property value of tangible assets consists of assessment about price for
industrial type, number of works and consumer price index. Assessment about price for industrial
type is based on the data of Statistics Korea [29]. Consumer price index is also based on the data of
Statistics Korea [29]. The property value of industrial area is calculated by assessment about price for
industrial type, number of works and consumer price index.
Flooding volume and flooding depth obtained by Storm Water Management Model (SWMM)
simulation and the results of property value calculated in Table 3 were used for the calculation of
flooding damage. Flooding damage was calculated using Equation (1) [28]:
Fd = Pv × R a × Rd , (1)
where Fd is the flooding damage, Pv is the property value, Ra represents the ratio of flooding area, and
Rd is the ratio of damage to flooding depth.
where y refers to the cumulative rainfall ratio and x represents the cumulative time ratio. In Korea,
including Jeongup, the third quartile of the Huff distribution was suggested as a proper rainfall
distribution [32]. The process of generating synthetic rainfall data consists of three steps. The first step
is the distribution of cumulative rainfall amount according to the rainfall duration. The second step
is the acquisition of rainfall distribution according to the rainfall duration by using the results of the
first step. The final step is to use the amount of rainfall amount and duration to generate synthetic
rainfall data using the Huff distribution. The process of generating synthetic rainfall data using the
Huff distribution is shown in Figure 3.

In this study, the concept in Figure 4b was applied to evaluate the system resilience in the target area.
Utility performance in urban drainage systems should be able to show the status of urban drainage
systems for each time. In this study, the status of urban drainage systems for various frequencies of
rainfall compared to the extreme rainfall with 100-year frequency. Utility performance for each time
can be calculated by Equation (6):
D
u ( T )i = 1 − i , (6)
De
where u(T)i represents the utility performance function at time i, Di represents the flooding damage
(cost) based on selected rainfall data at time i, and De is the flooding damage (cost) based on extreme
rainfall data at time i. There are two requirements. The first requirement is that the rainfall durations
Di and De should be the same. The second requirement is that the frequency of De should be higher
than that of Di . A high value of utility performance function means that the urban drainage system in
the target watershed has the ability to resist system failure including flooding damage. The resilience
based on flooding damage is calculated by the utility performance functions at each time. The resilience
index showing the degree of resilience according to the flooding damage when rainfall events of each
frequency occur by comparing flooding damage when extreme rainfall occurs. The resilience based on
the flooding damage in urban drainage systems is calculated by Equation (7):
Z T

Rd = u( T )dT, (7)
T 0
where Rd represents the resilience in urban drainage systems and T is the total time rainfall runoff
simulation. In this study, 15 rainfall events generated by the third quartile of the Huff distribution were
used for calculation of resilience in the target urban drainage system. These 15 rainfall occurrences
had durations of 30, 60, and 90 min, and frequencies of 10, 30, 50, 70, and 100 years. The rainfall data
with the 100-year frequency was selected from among the five frequencies as extreme rainfall data.
Other rainfall data with other frequencies was used for selected rainfall data.

The price per area of residence types in Table 6 is quoted from the data of Korea Appraisal
Board [33]. Construction industry deflator is based on the data of Korea Development Institute [34].
The property value of structure in residential areas is calculated by multiplying the number of houses
and building, price per area, number of floors and construction industry deflator in each subarea.
In the property value of contents in residential areas, assessment about the price of contents is
calculated as the household appraisal value (12,182,399 won/household) for each household [33].
There is no agricultural area in the target watershed and the property value of the agricultural area is
not calculated. For calculating the property value of industrial areas, the number of works in the target
watershed is shown in Table 7.

0.2. This result means that the area is better able to withstand rainfall of 60-min duration than rainfall
of 30-min duration. The resilience in this area, with rainfall occurring at a frequency of over 10-years,
goes down dramatically. The results of resilience with rainfall occurring at 50- and 70-year frequencies
are similar, which means that the increase in the amount of rainfall from a 50-year frequency to a
70-year frequency will not result in additional flooding damage.

Synthetic data for rainfall runoff simulations was distributed using the Huff distribution [30].
The Huff distribution is generally used for the design of drainage facilities in Korea. The third quartile
of the Huff distribution was selected because it was appropriate for application in Korea [32]. Fifteen
rainfall events had durations of 30, 60, and 90 min and frequencies of 10, 30, 50, 70, and 100 years,
generated by the third quartile of the Huff distribution, which were used for the calculation of resilience
in the target area.
The results of flooding volume were converted into the results of flooding damage by damage
functions after obtaining the results of flooding volume in each subarea by simulating SWMM.
The flooding damage in each subarea was used to calculate the utility performance per minute.
The results of the utility performance in each subarea were combined with the results of the utility
performance in the target area. The resilience in the target area was calculated by the results of the
utility performance. The rainfall events with 100-year frequency were selected because the calculation
of resilience requires the determination of extreme rainfall. The resilience decrease as the duration
decreased because rainfall events with short duration burden urban drainage systems.
In 30-min duration, the resilience go down at about 10-min and rise up at about 40-min. The
result of the resilience in 30-min goes down to 0.4 in 10-year frequency and to below 0.2 in 30-year
frequency. The results of the resilience go down to 0.1 in 50-year frequency and to below 0.1 in 70-year
frequency. In 60-min duration, the resilience goes down at about 20-min and rises up at 50-min. The
results of the resilience in 60-min go down to 0.6 in 10-year frequency and to 0.3 in 30-year frequency.
The results of resilience in 50-year frequency and 70-year frequency go down to 0.2. In 90-min duration,
the resilience goes down at 30 min and rises up at 80-min. The results of resilience go down to 0.6 in
10-year frequency and to 0.4 in 30-year frequency. The results of resilience go down to 0.3 in 50-year
frequency and to 0.2 in 70-year frequency.
In this study, the contents of uncertainty and vulnerability in socioeconomic and physical aspects
were not included in estimating flooding damage. Future studies would yield more detailed results if
there were uncertainty and vulnerability in socioeconomic and physical aspects. This study excluded
the damage to humans and did not consider the total damage of urban areas because there are resident
and floating people in urban areas. Age and gender in the damage to humans should be considered.
The resilience index based on flooding damage can be used for the evaluation of flood control plans
such the installation, replacement, and rehabilitation of drainage facilities. Resilience index can be
used as a fundamental indicator for the regional evaluation considering the flooding damage. Because
various structural measures such as installation of new pump stations and detention reservoirs and
replacement and rehabilitation of sewer conduits need to be evaluated, the resilience index based on
flooding damage will support decision making in flood control plans. In future research, the resilience
index based on flooding damage will be simplified by reports and recorded data.
