Abstract
Summary
In Korea, where the frequency of earthquakes was low, mid - magnitude earthquake recently occurred and damaged. Accordingly, in this study, seismic risk assessment study was performed to find vulnerable areas of earthquake in South Korea. We defined a seismic risk model that means integration of seismic hazard and social vulnerability. The basis of seismic risk assessment model was constructed by examining spatial analysis and statistical methods. Characteristics of the study area were also considered. This was applied to assess the vulnerable areas of earthquake damage in South Korea qualitatively. The results of the study was suggested as a seismic risk map that can identify vulnerable areas in South Korea at a glance.
