With the development of typhoon path prediction technology, searching for past typhoons similar to those expected to enter the Korean Peninsula is important in terms of disaster prevention. Previous search methods mainly used only the typhoon path or a single attribute, research considering multiple attributes was required. Therefore, in this study, a search method for past similar typhoons using typhoon paths and multiple typhoon attributes. Typhoon MITAG, which caused damage to Korea in the past, was selected as an example and a search simulation was conducted. The analysis was conducted in two stages by dividing the spatial similarity, which measures the spatial proximity between the typhoon routes, and the attribute similarity, which measures the similarity of typhoon attribute arrangements. As a result of the analysis, the 2004 typhoon MINDULLE, which ranked high in the two similarity results, was found to be the most similar typhoon to MITAG. In addition, the calculation time required for analysis is less than 1 minute, so it can be used quickly in real disaster situations. If the analysis results are accumulated and used, it is expected that they can be utilized in the future disaster prevention plan establishment and response recovery phase.
