ABSTRACT

Coastal areas play a vital role for national and local communities, yet damages from coastal disasters are increasing with sea-level rise and abnormal climate phenomena. This study classifies 74 coastal municipalities in South Korea using Latent Profile Analysis with 34 indicators related to urban, economic, and disaster damage, and then identifies type-specific characteristics using binary logistic regression with seven disaster management indicators. The results classify coastal regions into three types—urban, industrial/port metropolitan, and rural/natural environment—and reveal that factors such as accessibility to fire stations, earthquake evacuation sites, and interchanges significantly affect the probability of belonging to each type. The findings suggest the need for tailored disaster management policies by type.
