ABSTRACT

In response to climate change adaptation, this study analyzes the relationship between health damage caused by heat wave and socioeconomic factors based on a multiple regression analysis. In order to determine whether socioeconomic factors operate differently depending on the population size, 164 local governments in Korea were classified into 83 cities and 81 counties for analysis. The results of analysis showed that the number of health center workers, the number of social welfare facilities, the rate of basic livelihood security recipients, Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), fiscal self-reliance ratio, and the area of urban parks were significantly associated with health damage caused by heat wave. However, the relationship was found to be significant only in cities, not in counties.
