A Study for Urban Risk Assessment Using GIS

Minkyo Youm, Hongsik Yun & Jisung Kim

Modern society is facing various disasters. Especially with frequent occurrence of social disasters such as chemical accident and terrorism along with existing natural disaster such as hurricane and flood, paradigm of disaster is changing. Accordingly, technology integration development for timely response and support on disaster management on disaster spatial information is required. Also, disaster response and management system that could timely respond to combination of disaster that occurs in various types and complex nature is required and on-line disaster safety management infrastructure that enables minimization of damage due to disaster is necessary. Accordingly, in this research, various types of risks inherent in metropolitan region has been analyzed in qualitative and quantitative perspective and aims to establish evaluation system that could control every spatial, social uncertainty index occurs for the event of combination disaster based on it and prepared respond system that reflects situation of the scene in real time using risk analysis. Also, in combination with GIS technology with above indexes, we have established ground for utilizing expansion on combination disaster risk technology by visualizing synergy effect that creates risk evaluation technology for each type and combination manner through development RISK-CITY system that could obtain disaster information in real time.
