The floating islands installa- tion was planned featuring three islands. The river’s flow and channel stability could be changed when new structures are built in a river. Hence an analysis of the hydraulic characteristic changes should need. The hydraulic model experi- ment in this study sought to review the impacts of the floating islands installation on the safety of flood control and sta- bility of river channel. This study analyzed the hydraulic features affecting the surrounding stability when installing floating islands and proposed stable floating islands layout in terms of hydraulics based on the experiment results.

The basic plan is established to shape the ecosystem river bank and for nature-friendly or water-friendly river bank protection in terms of the change of bank protection. Moreover, in the Banpo zone, a plan to create cultural space has been established through the floating islands installation. Consisting of 3 islands in Figure 2, the planned floating islands shall be installed on th
