AB - Considering that earthquakes are largely unpredictable and unpreventable by nature, it is critical to evacuate victims promptly to a safe location in case of a sudden occurrence. The lessons from Japan indicate a crucial role of urban parks perform as a safe shelter for earthquake evacuation, but urban parks in South Korea have not yet served such a role. This paper studies the need to improve and reform the legal system of South Korea to bolster the function of urban parks to prevent earthquake disasters. This study finds that the current legal framework has a limitation in installing disaster prevention facilities to assist evacuation and relief activities. In order to establish the function of earthquake disaster prevention in South Korea, the Urban Park Act should be amended to include urban parks as well as theme parks as a disaster prevention facility. In addition, the Framework Act on the National Land should include clauses on earthquakes. Lastly, the National Land Planning and Utilization Act should incorporate the prevention of earthquake and other disasters into its basic principles of land planning and management.
