Abstract
Purpose: Recent climate change makes weather-related disasters such as summer storms, heavy rains, winter snowfall disasters, and extreme cold temperature increase in trend. Heavy snowfall disasters requires speedy response due to various effects to traffic flows, buildings, and infrastructure. Heavy snowfall disaster response of South Korea is insufficient, even though heavy snowfall disasters affect urban safety. There have been lack of policy studies for heavy snowfall disasters. Method: This research analyzes case studies and explores implications using Information system technologies to snow removal vehicles and equipments for speedy snow removal during the heavy snowfall disasters. Results: Information system technology attachment to snow removal equipments can identify locations of snow removal vehicles and equipments for emergency period to support snow removal of adjacent jurisdictions. Conclusion: Case studies of this research can be further used for efficient application of snow removal tools of local governments.
