취약계층 기후 회복력 증진을 위한 공공건물 진단도구 개발

Abstract

Cities must be able to recover from the impacts and stresses caused by climate change by promoting climate resilience for ensuring climate change adaptation and sustainable urban development. However, there is little research on climate resilience for public facilities constructed for supporting vulnerable populations that are sensitive to damage from natural hazards related to climate change. The purpose of this study is to identify the elements of climate resilience and to develop diagnostic tools for public facility buildings that are mainly used by vulnerable groups, to cope with the negative impacts and potential damages caused by climate change. The developed diagnostic tool was aimed to assess quantitatively the functionality of public buildings and adequacy of building facilities for improving climate resilience. Moreover, the tool was organized using components of climate resilience, identified as system, agent, and institution. A total of 48 items in the diagnostic tool was derived and categorized into seven topics: general climate risk, atmosphere, water, material storage, energy, other media, and education& institution. This study was conducted for actual application to elderly welfare facilities, children day care centers, public health care facilities, etc., as various types of public welfare buildings for vulnerable groups. Except for the items related to institutional issues that need to be reinforced further during actual investigation project, the components representing climate resilience in the diagnostic tools are well balanced. This indicates that the tool is fit for developing public building diagnostic tools to improve climate resilience for vulnerable populations.
