Abstract
This study conducted a survey to evaluate the disaster response capability of coastal residents and analyzed the characteristics. For the sampling process, nonrandom sampling method was used. Sample size is 4,520 and sample error is ${\pm}1.5%p$ at 95% confidence level. As a result of the survey, 72% and 68% of the respondents said that they recognized the emergency contact network and listened to the disaster broadcast. On the other hand, 17% and 18% said that they organized the local voluntary disaster prevention teams and participated in disaster preparedness training. In addition, male's disaster response capability was higher than female's, and first aid techniques and participation in disaster preparedness training were higher in teens and twenties. By occupation, public official possess the highest response capability. By region, it was high in the East coast and low in the South coast. It is necessary that the authorities improve the national disaster preparedness training and publicity to enhance the coastal disaster response capability of coastal residents.
