ABSTRACT

This study examines the current state of flood waste treatment in Korea and recommends an alternative management strategy based on the lessons from Japan and US. Direct landfillingwas recognized as one of the major problems in Korea as it was related to the absence of the master plan in the municipalities and the lack of cooperation between municipalities and waste facility authorities. Additionally, we pointed out inadequate capacity to determine the optimal scale of human resources and equipment due to the shortage and inconsistency of flood waste data and the lack of research on prediction of flood waste amount. The recommended solutions based on the investigation of the US and Japanese cases include institutional complementation granting financial incentives to the municipalitiesthat establish a master flood waste plan. A better method of forecasting flood waste amount should be incorporated into the flood waste management in Korea by benchmarking the forecasting methods used in US and Japan. Furthermore, a routine survey of flood waste should be carried out to monitor actual implementation of the master plan.
