Examining the impact of land use on flood losses in Seoul, Korea

Abstract

Floods have been the costliest and most disruptive of all natural hazards worldwide. In particular, urban flooding continues to be a concern for both developed and developing countries. Increasing physical risk associated with environmental changes combined with rapid land use change and development make many urban areas more vulnerable to floods. Floods are not solely based on hydro-meteorological conditions, but also result from human activities such as unplanned land use or haphazard development.
