Spatial Assessment

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Reports, climate variability and changes increase the possibility of extreme weather events causing climate-related hazards and the risk of natural disasters. A storm is one of the most common and serious natural hazards that pose significant human and economic damage costs worldwide. The Korean Peninsula is also at persistent risk of hydro-meteorological disasters induced by rainstorms and typhoons due to geomorphological features and climate change impacts. This study has, therefore, proposed the damage vulnerability index for a spatial assessment of the damage vulnerability to storms, based on the IPCC’s vulnerability assessment concept. The damage vulnerability index is aggregated from the potential indicator for the potential damage targets, estimated by the population and major facility densities, and the risk indicator for the expected damage risk, estimated by the risk analysis for integrating both frequency and severity of human and economic damage cost records. The damage vulnerability index can assess regions vulnerable to the disaster damage induced by rainstorms, typhoons, and both, respectively, over the 231 administrative districts in the Republic of Korea. It is expected that the proposed damage vulnerability index can provide realistic and practical information on sustainable damage mitigation plans for the nationwide administrative districts against storm-induced disasters.

Historical Methods

Despite their seeming reluctance to engage in the politics of the now, historians have a crucial role to play as witnesses to climate change and its attendant social injustices. Climate change is a product of industrialization, but its effects are known in different geographical and temporal scales through the compilation and analysis of historical narratives. This essay explores modes of thinking about disasters and temporality, the Anthropocene, and the social production of risk – set against a case study of the Korean DMZ as a site for historical witnessing. Historical methods are crucial if we are to investigate deeply the social processes that have produced climate change. A “slow disaster in the Anthropocene” approach might show the way forward.

Irrigation Water Demand

<p>In 2019, The Food and Agriculture Organization(FAO) announced that North Korea was a food shortage country and which is closely related to the agricultural drought frequency. These agricultural drought frequencies derived from global climate change are increasing and in terms of climate change, agricultural drought is not just a national problem, but a global scale issue. To respond to agricultural drought-related with food shortage, various studies and projects are conducted based on the remote sensing data and modeling such as hydrological model, crop model, but access to public data in North Korea is limited, and also objectivity is difficult to be guaranteed. In this study, the estimation of rice yield and irrigation water demand based on the RCP (Representative Concentration Pathway) climate change scenario was conducted using Environmental Policy Integrated Climate(EPIC) model which calculates various variables related to agriculture by using climatic data, Soil data and topographic data. For validating the parameter of the model, the study area was set to the Korean Peninsula and the parameter was set stepwise compared results of the model with South Korea national statistics. The results of rice yield and irrigation water demand in the Korean Peninsula was validated by using statistics of international organizations. The assessment of Rice Yield and Irrigation Water Demand Change based on the EPIC model is considered a method for complementing the field test and statistical limitations in North Korea. This study can be used as basic data for agricultural drought in North Korea and Based on the model results, it is necessary to concern food security.</p>
