A Climate Change Impact Assessment of Urban Infrastructure by a Grid-Based Flood Model Focusing on Stream and Road Facilities
D. Lee, K. Oh, and B. Park
Abstract—Local governments in Korea are facing increasing
calls to predict climate change impacts and prepare
corresponding adaptation countermeasures. However, efforts
to analyze climate change impacts are mostly at the
macroscopic level due to limited data acquisition and an
inability to analyze the climate change phenomenon. This study
developed a grid-unit climate change impact assessment model
in consideration to urban infrastructure to enable more specific
impact analyses to be conducted and for the establishment of
response measures.
The assessment methods consist of four parts: 1) Investigating the locations previously damaged by floods; 2) establishing a statistics-based analysis model to predict potential flood areas, 3) investigating the presence of infrastructure located within a flooded area; and 4) analyzing future climate change impacts.
Through the developed assessment model, more concrete climate change impacts on an urban infrastructure was identified at the level of 1km× 1 km resolution. In addition, it was found that minimizing the surface flow by maintaining sewage pipe lines and expanding green infrastructures were effective.
Index Terms—Climate change effects, urban infrastructure, RCP climate change scenario, urban planning.
