Abstract

Recently, damages of natural disasters due to climate change are increasing rapidly and becoming a big threat. Similarly for Korea, damages from natural disasters have increased over the last decade and also, the society is facing a rapidly aging population. It is projected that it will take only 9 years to reach 20% of the Korea's super-aged population. This study is to analyze the vulnerability of disaster countermeasures and status of the vulnerable groups to natural disasters in which the frequency of occurrence and size of damage are getting greater due to the recent climate change. Especially, the focus was on the elderly groups among the vulnerable groups to considering accelerated population aging phenomenon. I'd like to introduce problems and implications of disaster-safety welfare services for the elderly groups through empirical analysis based on statistical data and surveys on vulnerability of disaster countermeasures and vitalize the customized disaster-safety welfare services. For the research on vulnerability of disaster countermeasure, literature materials and statistical data on early groups in Jeollabuk-do were collected and classified and studied from elder's socio-demographic characteristics, economic vulnerability, physical vulnerability, environmental vulnerability, and disaster information vulnerability parts. As the result, most of the subjects showed economic vulnerability, physical vulnerability, environmental vulnerability, and disaster information vulnerability.
