PURPOSES : Korea is extremely vulnerable to the effects of climate change and earthquakes. When disasters occur, road infrastructure becomes a vital carriageway for moving people, emergency resources, and rescue teams. By designating disaster response routes in advance, the effect of the disaster can be reduced by ensuring a secure and quick moving space for emergency resources and relief activities. However, Korea has not established disaster response routes yet. Thus, this paper aims to prescribe guidelines to select appropriate disaster response routes by using Space Syntax while assuming a flooding disaster, as they occur most frequently and cause the biggest damage in terms of the recovery cost. METHODS : Based on the literature review, there are various approaches to selecting disaster response routes such as vulnerability, reliability, and redundancy based analyses. This study adopts the vulnerability-based approach, where the most vulnerable sections of roadway are selected for the disaster response route. RESULTS: We successfully developed guidelines for selecting a disaster response route assuming a flooding disaster. CONCLUSIONS: The analysis of the disaster response route indicated that the pre-determined disaster response route could minimize the damage due to the disaster, as it provides basic mobility and facilitates the swift movement of refugees and rescue teams.

The purpose of this research is to clarify the valuable industrial heritages of rice mill industry complex remained in Incheon. In order to clarify the formation of integrated historical setting of rice mill industry of Incheon, we analyzed the old map of Incheon’s old Jemulpo area and data on address, locations and happenings surrounding rice mill factories and relevant facilities. From here, we could find out the 4 representative rice mill industry area of integrated historical setting and 2 other supporting service area for rice mill industry in old city center of Incheon. Specifically, we could figure out the incremental stages to establish the rice mill industry in Incheon. In the first stage, the rice mill factories were established near foreign settlement area where trading offices and warehouses were equipped. And the second stage reflect the needs of expanding area for Japanese capitalism with the new landfill area. In the final stage, Korean rice mill owners established the korean laborers community near Korean residential area. This formation of integrated historical setting reflecting Incheon’s rice mill industry is the identical industrial heritages and urban structures to show the tension and conflict between Japanese and Korean laborers’ life in the Japanese Colonial Period.
