ABSTRACT

This study aims to propose a plan for support systems for disaster vulnerable population in Korea. The findings from the survey of civil servants and experts on disaster safety policy were as follows: first, there is a need of standardizing the terminology (46.7%), and the most appropriate term is “disaster vulnerable” population (44.8%). Second, the legislation is required for vulnerable population (81.9%), particularly the revision of the Framework Act on the Management of Disasters and Safety (55.2%). Third, the most vulnerable groups are the disabled (41.0%), children (29.5%) and the aged (22.9%). Fourth, the roles of the public sector for disaster and safety management are legislation (46.7%) and practical training and education (21.0%). Fifth, the policy alternatives recommended include consideration of special conditions of vulnerable population (53.3%) and operation of the department exclusively dedicated to vulnerable population (57.1%). Lastly, securing professional staff (41.1%) and relevant budget (28.6%) is imperative.
