Abstract

This study evaluated the risk of forest fires due to climate change in Jeju using the VESTAP. The study primarily aimed at assessing the risks posed to Jeju city and Seogwipo city, and uses actual and projected date from the period of 2000's to 2040's based on RCP 8.5 scenario. Forest fire vulnerability throughout Jeju-do was determined through the standardization of vulnerability index. The highest vulnerability was determined for the towns of Chuja-myeon, Udo-myeon, two downtown areas in Jeju city, Daejeong-eup, and five downtown areas in Seogwipo city, respectively.

본 연구에서는 한국환경정책평가연구원에서 가장 최근에 배포한 기후변화 취약성 평가 프로그램인 VESTAP을 활용하여 RCP 8.5 시나리오를 기반으로 2000년대에서 2040년대까지 제주시 및 서귀포시에 대한 산불 취약성을 평가하였다. 평가된 취약성 지수는 표준화 작업을 통해 제주시 및 서귀포시를 종합한 제주도 전체 읍면동의 산불 취약성 평가에 활용하였는데, 취약성이 높은 상위 10개 읍면동으로 제주시는 도서지역인 추자면과 우도면 그리고 2개의 동지역이, 서귀포시는 대정읍과 5개의 동지역이 산불에 대한 취약성이 상대적으로 높게 평가되었다.
