The west coast of Korea is characterized by a macro-tidal environment, where beach exposure varies significantly with tidal levels, resulting in high spatial variability of beach width and erosion patterns. This study aims to establish an Erosion Control Line (ECL) for Mallipo Beach using long-term beach topographic data collected from 2009 to 2020. For each transect, beach width was statistically estimated for a 30-year return period by calculating the average and standard deviation of surveyed widths and applying the inverse function of the normal cumulative distribution. The variability of shoreline positions was analyzed as an indicator of shoreline sensitivity, allowing the identification of highly vulnerable sections. Based on these analyses, the ECL was derived for three tidal reference levels—Highest Water of Medium Tide (H.W.O.M.T), Highest Water of Neap Tide (H.W.O.N.T), and Mean Sea Level (M.S.L)—according to Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Agency (KHOA)’s tidal datums. When the H.W.O.N.T-based beach width was used to define the Target shoreLimit of Erosion Prevention (TLEP), several public facilities were found to fall within the erosion hazard zone. These findings underscore the need for institutionalized coastal setback policies in Korea and highlight the practical value of the proposed ECL method for managing erosion-prone zones.

본 연구는 연안주민의 재해대응능력을 평가하기 위하여 설문조사를 실시하고, 그 특성을 분석하였다. 표본추출방법은 비확률표본추출법을 사용하였으며, 표본크기는 4,520명, 표본오차는 95% 신뢰수준에서 ±1.5%p이다. 조사결과 10개 지문 중 비상연락망 파악이 72%, 재난방송청취가 68%로 비교적 높게 나타났으며, 지역자율방재단이 17%, 재난대비 훈련 참여가 18%로 낮게 나타났다. 또한 남성의 재해대응능력이 여성보다 높게 나타났으며, 응급처치요령과 재난대비 훈련 참여는 10대와 20대에서 높게 나타났다. 직업군별로는 공무원이 재해대응능력이 높게 나타났다. 지역적 분석결과 동해안에서 높게 나타났으며, 남해안지역에서 낮게 나타났다. 연안주민 재해대응능력을 배양하기 위한 국가적 차원의 재난대비교육 및 홍보 개선이 필요하다.
