Overview

Analysis shows spatial inequality in heatwave damage-vulnerability in local jurisdictions, suggesting targeted interventions are needed.

Key Points

  • This study aims to diagnose spatial inequality in heatwave-related health damage and response across local jurisdictions in South Korea.
  • Conducted regression analysis on heat-related illness incidences to identify vulnerability factors.
  • Applied Bivariate Local Moran’s I to examine spatial associations between damage and vulnerability.
  • Assessed spatial overlap of concentration areas using accessibility indicators to emergency facilities.
  • Identified 12 regions with high damage and vulnerability but low response capacity.
  • Proportions of older adults, livelihood beneficiaries, multicultural households, and old housing significantly impact heat-related illness incidences.
  • Evidence provided for redistributing response facilities and developing adapted climate strategies.
