Flood Damage Assessment in Building Scale Caused by the Coastal Inundation Height at Haeundae Beach, Busan

Abstract

ABSTRACT Jeon, H.; Eem, S.H., and Park, J., 2018. Flood Damage Assessment in Building Scale Caused by the Coastal Inundation Height at Haeundae Beach, Busan. In: Shim, J.-S.; Chun, I., and Lim, H.S. (eds.), Proceedings from the International Coastal Symposium (ICS) 2018 (Busan, Republic of Korea). Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 85, pp. 1561–1565. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Damages of coastal areas due to natural disasters such as storms and floods are expected to occur along with rise in sea level owing to climate change. To reduce the flood damage, it is important to identify the expected inundation areas and estimate its loss. Therefore, this study evaluates the assessment of the flood damage in a building scale of Busan around the Haeundae beach in various scenarios. The scenarios vary with the inundation height from the approximate highest high water level announced by the Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Agency. The geographic information system (GIS) is established ...
