This paper presents a novel algorithm for searching evacuation paths in indoor disaster environments. The proposed method significantly improves the time complexity to find the paths to the evacuation exit by introducing a light-weight Disaster Evacuation Graph (DEG) for a building in terms of the size of the graph. With the DEG, the method also considers load balancing and bottleneck capacity of the paths to the evacuation exit simultaneously. The behavior of the algorithm consists of two phases: horizontal tiering (HT) and vertical tiering (VT). The HT phase finds a possible optimal path from anywhere of a specific floor to the evacuation stairs of the floor. Thus, after finishing the HT phases of all floors in parallel the VT phase begins to integrate all results from the previous HT phases to determine a evacuation path from anywhere of a floor to the safety zone of the building that could be the entrance or the roof of the building. It should be noted that the path produced by the algorithm. And, in order to define the range of graph to process, tiering scheme is used. In order to test the performance of the method, computing times and evacuation times are compared to the existing path searching algorithms. The result shows the proposed method is better than the existing algorithms in terms of the computing time and evacuation time. It is useful in a large-scale building to find the evacuation routes for evacuees quickly.

인구 밀집도가 높은 곳에서의 안전사고 대응과 이에 대한 예방을 위한 기술 및 해결 방안의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 이를 위한 기존의 기술들은 지능형 CCTV 기반의 경고 알림을 울리는 방식과 스마트폰의 신호를 수집하여 유동인구를 측정하는 기술 등이 사용되고 있다. 그러나 군중 밀집 사고의 원인인 병목현상과 군중 난류 현상까지 대응하지는 못하는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 CCTV로부터 수집된 영상 정보만으로 딥러닝 영상인식 기술을 이용하여 병목현상이 일어나기 쉬운 출입구의 유·출입 인구 카운팅과 광장의 밀집도 분석을 디지털 트윈 기반으로 실시하고 이를 통해 위험 상황 발생 시 출입구의 통제와 대피를 위한 안내가 가능한 시스템을 제시한다. 제시하는 시스템은 유동 인구가 많고 인구의 급격한 밀집으로 인해 발생할 수 있는 안전사고의 예방과 이를 해결하기 위한 통제 및 안내를 위한 대처 방법으로 활용할 수 있다.

The shipyard quay process struggles to control workers and maintain a secure working environment because of the presence of at least 1,000 people. Therefore, safety accidents such as an explosion or a fire are likely to occur. With the recent increase in safety accidents at shipyards, the requirements for safety and process monitoring have been strengthened. Major shipyards are conducting researchto monitor the process in real time and to detect the work environment for safety. In this paper, we propose a safe and accurate evacuation route based on the information of the dangerous area and the user's location based on a mobile application to reduce the casualty accidents in the presence of many personnel in a concentrated area. To do this, we analyze the trend of the fire escape system on the ground building, compare various algorithms for escape route calculation, select appropriate algorithms for this study, and perform programming. A basic experiment was conducted to confirm the results. The proposed method is expected to be used in large ship construction sites, passenger ships and large public facilities to reduce accidents in the case of a safety accident.

Purpose: This study collects basic data on the awareness of evacuation methods and evacuation facilities in the event of a radiological disaster of residents living in the emergency planning zone. Method: The residents of emergency planning zone were sampled using a random sampling method. A 1:1 interview was conducted using a structured questionnaire, and statistical analysis was performed using the minitab program. Result: First, the survey subjects showed a relatively low and negative awareness of the local government's work on radioactive disasters. Second, in terms of resident safety education, they had little experience in education, but they felt it was necessary and wanted education on evacuation methods, action tips, and the location of relief centers. Third, the location of the relief centers related to radioactive disasters was not well known, and there were many responses that they did not receive any guidance, and that they would be with their families when using the relief centers. Satisfaction levels were generally low with regard to the relief facilities. Fourth, the necessary priorities in preparation for radioactive disasters were education and training for radioactive disasters, facility supplementation, and supply of protective chemicals. Conclusion: The residents of emergency planning zone perceived the policies and tasks of the government or local governments relatively negatively in preparation for the occurrence of radioactive disasters, and their satisfaction was low. Regarding the matters pointed out as a priority, the government and local governments should publicize and educate the residents of accurate information and policies on radioactive disasters.

현재 대규모 실내공간이 증가하고 있고, 이에 따른 화재 등의 사고가 발생함에 따라 화재대피시스템과 같은 실시간 실내 응용에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있다. 그러나 학문적 연구 또는 상업용 시스템에서 사용되는 화재모델이내 보행자 모델은 대부분 2D 기반의 CAD와 같은 파일구조를 기반으로 하고 있으며 가상데이터를 이용한 시뮬레이션에 초점을 두고 있다. 따라서 이들을 실내 센서 등을 이용한 실시간 시스템으로 구축하기 위해서는 몇 가지 문제점들이 해결되어야 한다. 우선, 실내공간의 의미 있는 관계정보를 포함하는 위상적인 3D 모델이 필요하다. 또한, 실내 센서들에 의해 감지된 보행자의 이동을 저장하고, 저장된 데이터를 이용하여 실시간 안내를 위해서는 실내데이터 구축에 공간 DBMS를 이용해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 실내보행자 모델에서 두 가지 개선점을 제시하고자 한다. 첫째는, 간단한 3D 실내 모델구축과 공간 DBMS와 연계된 보행자 시뮬레이터를 구현하는 과정을 제시한다. 둘째는, 보행자의 가시성(visibility)에 대한 영향이 반영된, 개선된 floor field 모델을 제안한다. 이와 같은 과정을 캠퍼스 건물에 적용하고 시뮬레이션을 수행하는 과정을 예시하였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to promote the disaster safety village establishment project that fits the characteristics of rural areas by investigating and analyzing the operation cases of contents with regard to disaster safety villages in Korea and Japan. Method: The contents of project related to disaster safety villages in Korea and Japan were classified into resident participation contents, structured contents and unstructured contents, for examining the characteristics of such contents through investigation and analysis, and the contents (draft) of disaster safety village that fitted the characteristics of rural areas were presented. Result: The contents of resident participation include basic safety education, CPR education, life experience training of evacuation shelter, evacuation training, concurrent training of farming activity and disaster activity and creating a village safety map in connection with competent authorities. The enactment of an act and an ordinance for the establishment of disaster safety village, expert dispatch system, storm and flood insurance system and funding system to raise the fund for establishing a village were presented as unstructured contents. In addition, the production of self supporting evacuation shelter, wireless evacuation announcement system, disaster prevention system for a river, emergency evacuation sign, village safety map sign and the establishment of disaster prevention park were presented as structured contents. Conclusion: The unstructured contents are the establishment of foundation for preparing laws and institutions and the structured contents should be installed by utilizing eco-friendly methods in consideration of the environments of rural areas along with securing the safety. Moreover, resident participation should utilize the contents by considering various items such as age, characteristics and environments of residents in rural villages.

In 2022, wildfires broke out in Uljin-gun and Samcheok-si, which set the record for the longest forest fire in Korea, but there were no casualties. To protect local residents from wildfires, they must evacuate. Predicting the demand for evacuation in the event of wildfires is essential for the efficiency of disaster management. The purpose of this study is to analyze the human mobility patterns according to the occurrence of Uljin-gun and Samcheok-si wildfires. SKT floating population data was used in this study to analyze the human mobility patterns in Uljin-gun and Samcheok-si. The main findings are as follows. First, while the movement of the resident and visiting population decreased, the movement of the worker population was found to be similar to normal. Second, the resident population of Buk-myeon, Uljin-gun moved to the surrounding area to avoid the wildfires. Third, the region is an area judged to be safe from wildfires, and this mobility patterns are related to emergency disaster text messages. This study confirmed human mobility patterns of the population in the area where the wildfires through the floating population data, which is quantitative data. This suggests that it is important to guide residents to shelters through emergency text messages to minimize damage in the event of wildfires.
