Building a community that is resilient to disasters has become one of the main goals disaster management. Communities are more often experience less impact from and reduced recovery periods afterwards. This study develops methodology for constructing set indicators measuring Community Disaster Resilience Index (CDRI) in terms human, social, economic, environmental, institutional factors. In this study, degree resilience natural was measured 229 local municipalities Korea, followed by an...

This study compared respondents' hurricane evacuation expectations with their actual behavior 2 years later during Hurricane Lili. Respondents were found to have accurate about information sources, transportation modes, number of vehicles taken, and shelter types. They also had generally the time it would take them implement some, but not all, preparation tasks. These results extend contemporary attitude–behavior models by demonstrating a significant degree correspondence between behavioral...

Air quality is affected by the interplay between emission sources and urban planning factors such as land use, built environment, development pattern, transportation. Few empirical studies have been conducted to determine influence of form characteristics on air in Korea. Thus, purpose this research examine relationship pollution, focusing ozone pollution The include density, concentration, clustering, use mix. In study, those were measured population Theil index, Moran’s I G-statistic...

In the wake of Hurricane Katrina and flooding New Orleans in 2005, this interdisciplinary book brings together five years empirical research funded by National Science Foundation. It explores causes United States ways which local communities can reduce associated human casualties property damage. Focussing on Texas Florida, authors investigate factors other than rainfall that determine degree flooding, consider key role non-structural techniques strategies flood mitigation. The present an...

The U.S. Federal EmergencyManagement Agency requires jurisdictions to develop hazardmitigation plans (HMPs) be eligible for hazard mitigation grants based on the 2000 Disaster Mitigation Act. As of May 2007, over 14,000 local in US have developed single or multi-jurisdiction plans. However, little empirical research has examined quality HMPs. This study develops a comprehensive HMP assessment protocol and then assesses status twelve HMPs within Texas coastal management zone. components these...

The effects of climate change and air pollution on health have become major topics discussion conducting an assessment the vulnerabilities is essential to providing a solution for it. This study assesses human vulnerability ozone. We classified 27 detailed indicators into eight categories assessed 249 jurisdictions in South Korea by applying Fuzzy Technique Order Preference Similarity Ideal Situation method. results indicated that metropolitan urban areas were more vulnerable than other...

In the United States, mitigating adverse impacts of flooding has increasingly become responsibility local decision-makers. Despite importance understanding how and why flood mitigation techniques are implemented at level, few large-scale, empirical studies have been conducted in recent years. Our study examines current status extensiveness among localities coastal Texas Florida. Specifically, we analyze twenty-one different structural non-structural strategies based on results a survey over...

Climate change is certain, given the sufficient evidence for it. Thus, it needs to be integrated into process of spatial and community planning empower communities so they can adapt This study addresses critical gap in literature on climate adaptations by creating methodologies based participatory method, simulating application Saebat Maeul Busan, Korea. In community, area, people have struggled with urban flooding, which related poor sewer system heat waves. Green infrastructures were used...

The goal of this study was to apply, verify and compare fuzzy models with various combination operators analyze the vulnerability flooding in Seoul, Korea, create flood maps. We employed IPCC concept vulnerability, which comprises exposure climate, sensitivity adaptive capacity, identify factors that influence flooding. Eleven were compiled a spatial database using geographical information system. relative weight each factor converted into membership value, integrated obtain index five...

Climate change is a growing problem and has been highlighted as global issue. Empirical evidence increasingly indicates its obvious potential risks to humans society. As members of this society, business organizations face greatly diverse climate change-related that they must recognize respond to. However, gaps exist between scientific the actions organizations. Few empirical studies have examined organizations' taken in response Korea. This paper addresses critical gap literature by...

Vacant houses, a typical phenomenon during the decline of region, can give rise to social problems, including deteriorated surrounding landscapes and crimes such as arson, well inefficient utilization capital. This study empirically compared analyzed local characteristics affecting occurrence vacant houses through multi-regression analysis using statistical data from South Korea Japan. By applying national, metropolitan, urban, rural models variables for both countries, results revealed...

본 연구는 서울시를 대상으로 인공신경망을 활용하여 침수발생가능성과 침수위험지역을 도출하고, 위험지역 내 도시기반시설 현황을 살펴보았다. 분석결과, 강남구, 송파구, 서초구, 서대문구 등에서 침수발생가능성이 높은 위험지역을 많이 포함하고 있었다. 교통시설의 <TEX>$4.17km^2$</TEX>이상이 위험지역에 분포하여 우선 관리시설로 나타났고, 강남구 지역은 침수위험이 기반시설을 <TEX>$0.85km^2$</TEX>이상 인공신경망 모델을 침수발생가능성 분석에 그 적용가능성을 확인하였으며, 평가결과는 다양한 계획과정에 반영될 수 있을 것이다. This study analyzed urban infrastructure risk to flooding based on the possibility map of calculated by neural network model focusing Seoul. found that Gangnam-gu, Songpa-gu, Seocho-gu and...
