Abstract
The paper is intended to explore the spatial relations between flooded buildings and urban expansion phenomena by employing urban expansion intensity index and hotspot analysis methods for the case of Gangneung. Two major results are as followed; first, flooding susceptible areas are found in the regions where the highly intense development occurs within a short period of time, so called pseudo-urbanization. Second, less flooded buildings exist in old towns where it is believed that there is the lack of urban infrastructure services. This study indicates the possibility that the highly intense development and pseudo-urbanization with a relatively short time period relate to flooded building events. In addition, the possibility leads to another issue that new developments might be increasing the flooding vulnerability worse than before, particularly, to the adjacent old towns. For the better understanding, it is desirable to have further related case studies in the near future.
