Abstract

According to IPCC(Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), the earth temperature is expected to increase $6.4^{\circ}C$ from global warming in the 21st and increase average summer temperatures and the frequency and intensity of heat wave. The heat wave of Europe in 2003 caused 35,000 deaths and economy losses of above 13 billion dollars. All countries of the world recognized the importance to response heat wave from 2003 event of Europe. Every country is developing warning system for heat wave response, establishing activities to heat wave plan. In this study we suggested effective methods for heat wave response in Korea through investigating heat wave damage and responses of abroad.

2007년 기후변화에 대한 정부간 협의체(IPCC)의 4차 보고서에 따르면 지구 온난화로 인해 21세기 말에는 지구온도가 최고 $6.4^{\circ}C$ 상승하고, 여름철 평균기온의 상승 및 폭염일수의 빈도와 강도가 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 2003년 유럽에서 발생한 폭염으로 인해 프랑스영국스위스 등에서 35,000여명이 사망하고 130억 달러 이상의 피해를 초래한 것으로 알려져 있다. 세계 각국은 유럽의 2003년 폭염을 계기로 국가차원에서 폭염대비의 중요성을 인식하고, 폭염경보시스템을 개발하는 등 단계별로 대책을 수립하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 세계 각국의 폭염피해현황과 대책을 조사함으로써 우리나라의 폭염재해 대응방안에 대한 효율적 운영방안을 도출하였다.
