Abstract
Vulnerability Assessment of Water Resources to Climate Change Using GIS
Track: Climate Change
Author
Climate change has influenced on various environmental and social sectors. Especially, it has significant impact on water resource, such as drought and flood. In this study, we assessed the flood and drought vulnerability to climate change using GIS-based spatio-temporal information. Vulnerability is assessed in terms of sensitivity, exposure and adaptation. We prepared criteria and indicators for climate change impact assessment to flood and drought, and integrated GIS based data which is correspondent to indicators. As a result, we mapped flood and drought vulnerability and suggested adaptation strategies in Korea. South-eastern region of Korea is likely to be vulnerable to flood. And central-western region of Korea is vulnerable to drought.
