Effects of Risk Characteristic and Risk Perception on Risk Severity of Natural Disaster

Abstract: This study was to examine the effects of risk characteristic and risk perception on risk severity of natural disaster. The findings showed that the risk severity of natural disaster were classified into geographical disaster, storm and flood damage, drought damage. Typhoon among storm and flood damage showed high scores on risk severity of natural disaster. Moreover participants showed high scores on unfamiliar, undiscoverable, and unknown by scientific knowledge among risk characteristic of natural disaster. … Show more

“…South Korea is situated on the eastern edge of the Eurasian Plate, which is widely recognized as an earthquake safety zone [1]. The magnitude 5.8-sized Gyeongju earthquake in September 2016, however, led to a shift in this perception, while the magnitude 5.4 earthquake that occurred in the Red Sea region, 6 km north of Pohang, in November 2017 raised the people's awareness of the damage that can be caused by earthquakes [2,3]. Today, South Korea is constantly experiencing new types of natural disasters and accidents, and many regions in the country suffer damage from such disasters [1].…”

The 5.8-sized Gyeongju earthquake in September 2016, however, led to a shift in the perception that South Korea is a safe zone for earthquakes, and the magnitude 5.4 earthquake that occurred in the Red Sea region, 6 km north of Pohang, in November 2017 raised the people's awareness of the damage that can be caused by earthquakes [2,3]. Today, South Korea is constantly experiencing new types of natural disasters and accidents, and many regions in the country are hit by such disasters and experience the damage caused by these [1].…”

“…However, although strong wind was third in the rankings of the amounts of damage as of 2012 and strong wind damage is still occurring, concrete measures to reduce this damage have not been sufficiently prepared. This is because the level of perception of the risk of strong wind is lower compared to that of the other disasters (Hong, 2007;Song and Kim, 2013). Therefore, the awareness of the risk of strong wind should be enhanced, and measures to reduce strong wind damage should be presented through studies of the characteristics of the damage caused by strong winds and the types of strong winds that occur.…”
