ABSTRACT

The risk of heavy snowfall has increased in Korea due to global climate change, but the local governments’ tasks of estimating such risks would be complex. The tasks include a number of methods and techniques for risk assessment handling relevant data sets. They also require the decision-making process of identifying heavy snowfall hazards, computing the vulnerable likelihood of heavy snowfall events, and analyzing consequential impacts of heavy snowfalls. The objective of this research is to analyze the association between heavy snowfall risks and disaster effects for local governments. This research evaluated risks using the point-based heavy snowfall risk assessment method developed by previous studies. The technique was applied to identify the association between 7 point-based snowfall risks and 52 heavy snowfall disaster loss datasets.
