Abstract

This study examines how attitudes toward flood risk education and climate change perception vary by types of community members and flood experience in urban settings where climate-induced flood risks are increasing. Using survey data collected from three key community groups in Seoul—vulnerable households, local government officials, and local volunteers—we compared their views across four dimensions: the necessity of flood risk management education, expected effectiveness, willingness to participate, and climate change impacts on flood hazards. Results show statistically significant differences across all four items by type of community groups. Flood experience exhibits differences for only three items—expected effectiveness, willingness to participate, and climate change impacts on flood hazards, suggesting a more limited and context-dependent influence. Overall, vulnerable households consistently report the lowest levels of education-related perceptions, whereas local volunteers report the highest. The findings suggest that flood risk management education should be designed in ways that reflect the distinct roles, needs, and constraints of different community member groups. The study provides empirical insights that can inform the development of context-specific education programs aimed at strengthening community resilience amid increasing flood risks.

본 연구는 도시 침수 위험 증가에 대응하기 위한 침수 리스크 교육의 효과적 설계 방안을 모색하고자, 침수 경험 여부와 사회구성원 유형에 따른 교육 관련 태도와 기후변화 인식 차이를 분석하였다. 서울시 취약가구원, 수방공무원, 주민봉사자 대상 설문자료를 바탕으로 교육 필요성, 기대 효과, 참여 의향, 기후변화 영향 인식을 비교한 결과, 네 문항 모두에서 사회구성원 유형별 유의한 차이가 나타났으며, 침수 경험 여부는 일부 문항에만 영향을 미쳤다. 이는 리스크 교육 관련 태도가 침수 경험보다는 사회적 역할과 책임에 따라 더 명확히 구분됨을 보여준다. 연구 결과는 사회구성원별 특성을 반영한 차별화된 침수 리스크 교육 전략의 필요성을 시사한다.
