This study examined ways to improve the utilization of the vehicle dispatch history DB, which stores information generated from the call center, and to improve the quality of the data collected. Based on the established data, it is possible to identify the wheelchair-use ratio, user ratio according to the type of disability, time zone, and travel pattern by day. In particular, it is possible to identify the travel O/D pattern of the special transportation service users by using the origin and destination information.However, in order to identify the precise travel attributes, it is necessary to collect additional information such as the general attributes of the individual user(age, gender, income, car ownership status, etc.), the purpose of travel, which is the main component of the travel pattern, as well as the waiting time and travel time.

  • Analysis of Flood-Vulnerable Areas for Disaster Planning Considering Demographic Changes in South Korea
    sustainability Article Analysis of Flood-Vulnerable Areas for Disaster Planning Considering Demographic Changes in South Korea Hye-Kyoung Lee , Young-Hoon Bae , Jong-Yeong Son and Won-Hwa Hong * School of Architectural, Civil, Environmental and Energy Engineering, Kyungpook National University, Daegu 41566, Korea; [email protected] (H.L.); [email protected] (Y.B.); [email protected] (J.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-53-950-5597 Received: 15 April 2020; Accepted: 4 June 2020; Published: 9 June 2020 Abstract: Regional demographic changes are important regional characteristics that need to be considered for the establishment of disaster prevention policies against climate change worldwide. In this study, we propose urban disaster prevention plans based on the classification and characterization of flood vulnerable areas reflecting demographic changes. Data on the property damage, casualties, and flooded area between 2009 and 2018 in 229 municipalities in South Korea were collected and analyzed, and 74 flood vulnerable areas were selected. The demographic change in the selected areas from 2000 to 2018 was examined through comparative analyses of the population size, rate of population change, and population change proportion by age group and gender. Flood vulnerable areas were categorized into three types through K-mean cluster analysis. Based on the analysis results, a strategic plan was proposed to provide information necessary for establishing regional flood-countermeasure policies. Keywords: urban disaster prevention plan; flood vulnerability; climate change; demographic change; cluster analysis 1. Introduction Floods are one of the most dangerous and destructive natural hazards that can cause human loss and economic damages [1–3]. Climate change is expected to increase the frequency of flooding and the extent of damage caused by it [4–6].
