ABSTRACT

In this study, we tried to understand the relationship between the decline cities and the disaster and explored the strategic direction of disaster management in the future. We conducted MANOVA for 71 local cities in South Korea with decline city, crisis of human caused fire, crisis of traffic safety and crisis of natural disasters. The results of this study are as follows: First, the relationship between disasters and urban decline are present. It is required to expand the disaster-related budget of the local government. Second, the volume of decline and non decline cities's budget is similar but the disaster-related budget is not. The disaster-related budget of decline city is much more than that of non decline cities. It is important to secure the priority support of the central government to decline cities. That can reduce the burden of decline dities. Third, decline cities's comprehensive countermeasures for disaster management and urban regeneration must be parallel. Fourth, the improvement of decline cities' road management system is also important because the traffic fatalities in South Korea are also highly ranked in OECD countries.
