The frequency and scale of natural disaster has been significantly increased due to climate change, causing a serious threat to the safety and resiliency of cities. Especially, it is generally known that the poor population tends to be more vulnerable to the negative impacts of flooding; however, there is a serious lack of literature that explores the relationship between flooding prone areas and settlement patterns of the poor population. Thus, this study aims to develop a Flood Vulnerability Indicator (FVI) related to flooding and verify if environmental justice exists in Seoul metropolitan area by conducting a correlation analysis. The FVI consists of Exposure Index(EI), Physical Vulnerability Index (PVI) and Social Resilience Index (SRI), each of which was calculated by standardizing corresponding key variables. The result indicates that the FVI value is positively correlated with the ratio of the poor population, confirming the existence of environmental injustice in the study area. Therefore, a special attention should be given to the settlements of the poor population and additional financial, technical and institutional supports need to be provided to improve the physical environment of their residential areas and enhance their social adaptive capacities. |
