Abstract
Satellite data have emerged as a widely used tool for global research. In particular, satellite data aid in overcoming long-term observational challenges caused by seasonal effects, facilitating comprehensive monitoring of large regions and simplifying infrastructure maintenance. However, in Korea, the application of satellite SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) data within the construction sector remains relatively limited. This study used satellite SAR data to analyze the effects of infrastructure (underground roads and subway systems) currently under construction in Korea on the surrounding ground surface, in order to identify risk zones. This study explored methods for continuously monitoring extensive areas over long distances and selecting potential risk zones. The results indicated substantial ground displacements at specific locations and seasonal changes. Furthermore, past and current satellite SAR data were overlapped to facilitate a time-series analysis. The results confirmed that satellite SAR can improve the monitoring of construction projects in Korea and provide valuable information that can contribute to enhancing maintenance efforts, including near-future ground displacement data. The results are expected to help citizens maintain a safe and sustainable life in urban areas.
