Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the vulnerability to different natural hazards such as flood, drought, and abnormal climate, and to classify the vulnerability patterns in Gyeongsangnam-do. The damage records and annual budgets during 2000 to 2009 were collected and were ranked for all twelve si-guns. Sancheong-gun and Hamyang-gun resulted in the most vulnerable to flood and drought damages, and Hadong-gun and Yangsan-si were most damaged from abnormal climate such as heavy snow and heavy wind. In addition, three clusters were classified by using Ward's method, and were interpreted. The results showed that the western areas of Gyeongsangnam-do might be more vulnerable to flood damage while drought might threaten the eastern si-guns.
