Abstract

This study assesses the capacity of earthquake evacuation shelters in Seoul, South Korea, focusing on their ability to accommodate the transient population, a key aspect of the city's critical infrastructure. Using GIS-based spatial analysis, the research examines population fluctuations across different times of day, weekdays versus weekends, and seasonal variations. The results reveal significant shortcomings in the current shelter infrastructure, with many areas unable to effectively accommodate residents. Larger shelters are found to support more people from nearby regions, whereas smaller shelters often leave many areas only partially accommodated or completely unserved. This persistent issue across various temporal and population changes underscores the need for a comprehensive disaster preparedness strategy. Key recommendations include the strategic expansion of existing shelters, optimal placement of new shelters, and the adoption of advanced technologies for real-time population tracking. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of enhancing public awareness through regular drills and developing urban planning policies that incorporate disaster management. Fostering collaboration among government agencies, private stakeholders, and community organisations is also essential. By addressing these gaps, Seoul can improve its resilience and better protect its residents during seismic events, emphasising the critical need for innovative disaster preparedness strategies in urban settings.

首尔市地震疏散避难所能力评估:基于地理信息系统的关键基础设施流动人口住宿分析
本研究评估了韩国首尔地震疏散避难所的能力,重点关注其容纳流动人口的能力,这是城市关键基础设施的一个关键方面。利用基于gis的空间分析,该研究检查了一天中不同时间、工作日与周末以及季节变化的人口波动。调查结果显示,目前避难所基础设施存在重大缺陷,许多地区无法有效容纳居民。较大的避难所可以容纳附近地区更多的人,而较小的避难所往往使许多地区只能得到部分安置或完全得不到服务。这一跨越各种时间和人口变化的持久问题突出了制定全面备灾战略的必要性。主要建议包括战略性地扩大现有庇护所,优化安置新庇护所,以及采用先进的人口实时跟踪技术。此外,该研究还强调了通过定期演习和制定纳入灾害管理的城市规划政策来提高公众意识的重要性。促进政府机构、私人利益相关者和社区组织之间的合作也至关重要。通过解决这些差距,首尔可以提高其复原力,并在地震事件中更好地保护其居民,强调在城市环境中创新备灾战略的迫切需要。
