ABSTRACT

In Korea, Natural Hazards Management Act and Comprehensive City Plans fail to consider the danger from future natural hazards and social characteristics in the community, which makes it difficult to establish actual and sustainable mitigation policies. This study aims to classify vulnerable communities according to the types of natural hazards (rainfall, wind, snow and storm) considering both climate change and social characteristics. The results show that vulnerable communities against the past natural hazards are different from those against the future hazards which are expected to create an impact on more communities. In addition, many vulnerable communities have characteristics of high social vulnerability and low social capacity. Thus, local governments would need to develop various policies tailored to social characteristics in the community in response to future natural hazards.
