Abstract

This study aims to assess vulnerability in urban thermal environments of Seoul by using indicators frequently used in previous studies as well as effective indicators for spatial planning like urban and environmental planning. For this purpose, fifteen indicators that influence urban thermal environments such as heat waves, urban heat island effects, and urban micro-climates were identified based on literature reviews. Indicators for presenting urban structure and spatial properties were included; for example, building volume as 'exposure to climate', buildings completed before 1980 as 'sensitivity', and green space areas as 'adaptive capacity'. Among them, twelve indicators were applied to assess vulnerability in urban thermal environments of Seoul by using a GIS spatial analysis combined with fuzzy logic. The results show that the Gangnam area is identified as more vulnerable to a heat environment as compared to the Gangbuk area. In the Gangnam area, Seocho-gu, Gangnam-gu, Dongjak-gu, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Gangseo-gu were relatively high in vulnerability, while Dongdaemun-gu, Gangbuk-gu, Gwangjin-gu, Jungrang-gu were relatively high in the Gangbuk area. Gwanak-gu, Dobong-gu, Eunpyeong-gu, and Nowon-gu, which include forested areas, have low vulnerability in the sectors of 'exposure to climate' and 'sensitivity' due to the impact of Gwanaksan and Bukhansan. However, some areas with high vulnerability like Seocho-gu and Gangnam-gu may have lower vulnerability if the indicator 'status of air conditioning' from the sector of 'adaptive capacity' is used. This study could support the establishment of a practicable thermal environment policy and spatial planning to reduce heat-related risks in the field of urban and environmental planning.

본 연구에서는 열환경 취약성 평가에 관한 국 내외 선행연구 고찰을 바탕으로 열환경 취약성 평가에 적합하면서 도시 및 환경계획 등 공간계획 분야에서 활용할 수 있는 취약성 평가지표를 선정하고, 이를 활용하여 사례지역인 서울시의 열환경 상태를 진단하였다. 이를 위해 폭염, 도시 열섬, 도시 미기후 등 국내 외 열환경 취약성 평가에 활용된 지표들을 고찰하여 도시 열환경 취약성 평가를 위한 15개 지표를 선정하였는데, 기후노출 분야의 건물체적, 민감도 분야의 열환경 취약 건축물, 적응능력 분야의 녹지면적 등 도시구조적 공간적 지표를 포함하였다. 선정된 지표 중 사례지역인 서울지역에 대해 활용가능한 12개 지표의 공간정보를 구축하고, 퍼지이론을 활용한 GIS 공간분석을 통해 서울의 열환경 취약성을 평가하였다. 분석 결과, 강남 지역이 강북 지역보다 열환경에 더 취약한 것으로 파악되었는데, 강남 지역에서는 서초구, 강남구, 동작구, 영등포구, 강서구 일대의 열환경 취약성이 상대적으로 높게 나타났으며, 강북 지역에서는 동대문구, 강북구, 광진구, 중랑구 일대가 다른 구에 비해서 취약성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 산림지역 및 서울시 외곽지역에 위치한 관악구, 도봉구, 은평구, 노원구 등은 관악산, 북한산 등 산림의 영향으로 인해 '기후노출'과 '민감도' 분야의 취약성이 낮았다. 하지만, 자료수집의 한계로 활용하지 않았던 '적응능력' 분야의 에어컨 보유 현황 지표가 분석에 반영된다면, 서초구, 강남구 등 취약성이 높게 평가된 지역의 결과에 영향을 미쳤을 것으로 예상된다. 본 연구는 기존의 국내 열환경 취약성 평가에서 활용하지 않았던 도시구조적 공간적 지표를 활용함으로써 도시 및 환경계획 분야에서 열취약성을 개선하기 위한 정책 마련에 기여하고, 열환경 위험성을 저감하기 위한 공간계획 수립에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단한다.
