Abstract

In the coming years, coastal areas will be affected by rising sea levels due to climate change. Korea is surrounded by water on three sides and has many big cities around its coastal zone. Thus, Korea must be prepared for various effects that may be caused by rising sea levels. Among the possible effects of rising sea levels are inundation, coastal erosion, saltwater intrusion, and biological effects. We particularly focused on the impact of inundation and assessed potential inundation risks. Finding potentially vulnerable areas is the core objective of the present study. The following variables were collected and selected from a literature review: rising sea levels, significant wave height, mean tide range, slope, and elevation. Bayesian Networks (BNs) were used to find potentially vulnerable areas, as BNs allow diverse variables to be reflected to predict coastal change, probabilities to be predicted, and they quantify uncertainty based on probabilities. Assessing coastal vulnerability using BNs is a meaningful approach, as they consider various aspects of the situation. The probability of potential inundation was drawn from the results and showed areas' probability for being at risk. In conclusion, this research is significant because it identifies areas vulnerable to potential inundation in the coastal zone. The method could be applied in other cases of coastal urban planning that consider the impact of future climate change.
