Vulnerability Assessment and Counterplan for Disaster from Climate Change in the Shinangun, Jeollanamdo

This paper outlines to evaluate susceptibility to potential threats and identify corrective actions that can reduce the risk of serious disaster from climate change in the Shinan-gun, Jeonnam. The process of vulnerability assessment from changing climate (flood, drought, scorching heat, heavy snowfall, strong wind, setup sea level) is based on such sources of Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs(MLTM), and use CCGIS program(ver. 3.1) to analyze the graphs. The biggest disastrous risk in shinan-gun is the damage from storm and flood. The amount of precipitation and snow cover along with the cold temperature are lower than any other city in Jeonnam. However, it has wind velocity cause by the typhoon which is the biggest among any other cites. Sea level will setup continuously. In fact, problems caused by heavy rain with typhoon arise very often. In the resent 3years, Shinan-gun has been heavily damaged or destroyed. During the last 20years, the heavy rain damaged many official structures and vessels. In 2009, High climate change destroyed official structure and the arable land of Jaeun-myun located in Shinan-gun. In the Analysis of A1B(climate change scenario), although the current flood risk will reduce, we must consider low areas along with the setup sea level in 2020. In conclusion, Shinan-gun will have to manage the risks of extreme disasters caused by continuous climate change like damage from storm and flood or setup sea level.
