韩国沿海社区在海岸洪水灾害风险管理中制度性措施与实践之间的差距
Hyejeong Park, Kihun Nam & Shinichi Egawa
摘要：
全球变暖和气候变化显著增加了由海平面上升（SLR）作为永久性致灾因子以及水文气象灾害作为暂时性致灾因子所引发的海岸洪水灾害的频率。这些复合风险将影响沿海社区。韩国逐渐面临海平面上升风险，主要集中在其南部沿海地区；然而，沿海地区的减轻灾害风险（DRR）工作仍然处于碎片化状态。本研究旨在通过考察政府实践和居民证词，调查韩国沿海社区DRR工作的现状。本研究审查了与DRR相关的法规和文件，并通过与当地政府官员的访谈、实地考察以及与六个沿海社区居民的非正式对话收集了数据。研究结果显示，与台风和强降雨等其他灾害相比，沿海社区对海岸洪水灾害的抵御能力较弱，而人口结构变化、制度体系的分散性以及风险意识低下可能会扩大潜在的后果。此外，本研究强调了采取综合方法减少由海平面上升及其他因素引发的海岸洪水灾害影响的必要性，并强调通过政府适当披露风险信息、提高风险意识和适应环境变化，加强沿海社区参与地方DRR活动的重要性。通过将实用性监管措施与适应性战略相结合，并增强沿海社区的灾害韧性，可以减少由海平面上升及其他致灾因子引发的海岸洪水灾害的影响。

The Gaps Between Institutional and Practical Disaster Risk Management Measures on Coastal Flood Risks in South Korea’s Coastal Communities
Hyejeong Park, Kihun Nam & Shinichi Egawa
Abstract：
Global warming and climate change significantly increase the frequency of coastal floods caused by sea level rise (SLR) as a permanent factor and hydrometeorological hazards as tentative factors. The combined risks will affect coastal communities. South Korea is gradually facing SLR risks, mainly in its southern coastal regions; however, disaster risk reduction (DRR) in coastal regions remains fragmented. This study aimed to investigate the status of DRR for coastal communities in South Korea by looking at government practices and testimonies from residents. This study reviewed DRR-related regulations and documents and collected data from interviews with local government officials, field visits, and informal conversations with residents in six coastal communities. The findings show that the coastal communities were less resilient to coastal floods than to other hazards, such as typhoons and heavy rains, and the potential consequences could be expanded due to demographic challenges, fragmented institutional systems, and low risk awareness. Moreover, this study emphasized the necessity of an integrated approach to reducing the impact of coastal floods caused by both SLR and other factors. It also highlighted the importance of coastal community engagement in local DRR activities through increasing risk awareness and adapting to environmental change based on appropriate risk information disclosure by the government. The impacts of coastal floods triggered by SLR and other hazard factors can be reduced by aligning practical regulatory measures with adaptive strategies and enhancing the disaster resilience of coastal communities.
