3D Risk Mapping of Hazard Tree in Changdeokgung Palace

Researchers developed a novel method to predict potential failure zones and impulses from falling trees, which poses significant risks to heritage structures. By establishing a formula that calculates these hazards based on tree height, weight, and surrounding terrain, the study created detailed 3D risk maps for Changdeokgung Palace Complex in South Korea. Using Rhino3D and Grasshopper algorithms, the team analyzed critical areas such as Yeongyeongdang Hall and Aeryeonjeong Pavilion, identifying high-risk zones where falling trees could impact nearby buildings or visitors. This approach enables proactive risk assessment, efficient management of hazardous trees, and the formulation of disaster prevention strategies to safeguard both cultural heritage and public safety.
