Flood disasters in Korea have become more frequent and intense due to climate change, with devastating impacts observed in urban areas and floodplains. This paper proposes an enhanced operational framework for Korea’s Flood Risk Map Information System (FRMIS), drawing from national flood damage data and global benchmarking cases. It addresses the limitations of current structural flood defenses

The SFDRR is a continuation of the Hyogo Framework which focused on practices for increasing the society’s resilience against disasters. This study aims to analyze DRR policies in developed and developing countries which refer to the
read moreModern disaster environments in Korea are increasingly characterized by compound hazards where excessive flood volume (runoff) interacts with slope instability and storm surge. Yet, traditional disaster management practices have treated flood depth or inundation extent in isolation, without explicitly incorporating real‑time flood volume estimates into decision support. This paper proposes and e

Using a quantitative approach, data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed with Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) to examine the relationships between preparedness dimensions a

The recent heatwave trend in Northern India indicates that in 2024, Delhi experienced some of its highest recorded temperatures, with heatwaves persisting longer and becoming more intense. The city’s rising urban population and increasing deforestation have increased the urban heat island effect,
