Since the characteristics of disaster risk are constantly shifting in the uncertainty due to climate change, it is impossible to completely prevent disaster risk by taking measures based on a one-time analysis. It is important to monitor trends in disaster vulnerability characteristics, identify spatial pattern characteristics, and continually improve countermeasures. According to the 2012 report of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport, 88 flood vulnerability areas (grades IV and
more » ... V) were found in 232 Korean municipalities. As a result of the flood vulnerability analysis for the future (2100), it was determined that there are 93 flood vulnerable areas nationwide. In this study, we analyze the vulnerability of the climate change flood in 2017 based on the same standards for the flood vulnerability analysis in 2012. The results of the analysis showed that the trends of previous forecasts were consistent to some extent, but the change in vulnerable characteristics was more severe in Gyeonggi-do, Chungcheongnam-do, and Gyeongsangbuk-do. If the factors that increase vulnerability can be determined, countermeasures can be taken according to their characteristics.
