  1. The Impact Assessment of High Wind in Youngdong Region Department of Geography Konkuk University Jun Suk, Hong

  2. 1. Introduction The annual disaster in Korea for the period of 1996-2005 Disaster Natural Disaster Explosion 1.0% Fires 24.8% Road Traffic 62.6% Typhoon 58.9% Etc. 3.7% Cold wave, Heavy snow Gale Force Winds with Snow 5.2% Etc. 6.1% Heavy Rain 24.5% Sea Risks 5.4% Typhoon . Heavy Rain 6% Pollution (Million dollar) Modified KMA, NEMA’s DATA Gale Force Winds 0.1%

  3. Distribution of Annual Number of Days with Gale forces Wind (1971-2000) 한국기후도에 따온 지도 (Source: KMA, 2001)

  4. Sokcho Gangneung Donghae Buoy Donghae Daegwallyeong Taebaek Study Area Network of Local forecast area in Gangwon Youngdong Region

  5. Study aims • Evaluate the characteristics of high wind and Impacts of high wind for the period of 1988-2006 on the Youngdong Region

  6. 2. Data and research methods • Data • Weather data fromthe KMA’s (Korea Meteorological Administration) annual weather data • Disaster Cost from NEMA’s (National Emergency Management Agency) annual natural disaster report • News from Mass Media • Research method • Statistical analysis of Maximum instantaneous wind velocity. • Selected wind data of advisory and warning levels • Focused on the analysis of the causes and impacts of High Winds for the case of October 2006.

  7. m/s (Wind speed : ) High wind and Wind wave definition (Based on KMA)

  8. 3. Results • Mean annual wind speed variation (1992-2006)

  9. Monthly Mean High Wind Day Days Sokcho Days Days Gangneung Days Daegwallyeong Donghae Days Taebaek month

  10. Variation of High Wind days in Autumn

  22. The Impacts of High Wind(2006) by Cost Goseong-gun Cheorwon-Gun Yanggu-gun Sokcho-si The amount of the damage (million dollar) Inje-gun Hwacheon-gun Yangyang-gun Gangneung-si Chuncheon-si 0 – 1 Hoengseong-gun 1.01 – 10 Donghae-si 10 – 20 Pyeongchang-gun Hongcheon-gun Jeongseon-gun Wonju-si Samcheok-si Yeongwol-gun Taebaek-si

  23. 4. Concluding comments • Repetition of disaster is accumulated and it would be a great hazard caused a sever impact on property and human life and even psychology. • Further researches of climate change are required to forecast the weather hazard • Needs to develop mitigation strategies and technology such as GIS DB to mitigate the advert impact of weather hazard.

  24. Thank you.
