Objective : This study examined psychiatric characteristics of wounded persons of Daegu subway fire accident occurring in February 2003 after six years. Methods : 103 wounded persons completed psychometric measures at 2 months and 6 years after the accident. Changes of psychiatric symptoms were compared and factors affecting post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) seriousness were examined. Results : In Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, the scores of Psychopathic Deviate (Pd), Masculinity/ Femininity (Mf), Social Introversion (Si) scales were significantly changed over time. The scores of Symptoms Checklist-90-Revision subscales were mostly decreased over time, however, paranoid ideation (PAR) subsclae scores were not significantly changed over time. In all of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)-State, Beck Depression Inventory, Impact of Event Scale, and PTSD Checklist-Civilian, mean scores at 6 years after the accident were significantly lower than those at 2 months after the accident. However, STAI-Trait score was not significantly changed over time. Total seriousness of PTSD was found to be affected by quality of sleep. Conclusions : Psychiatric symptoms of subjects were largely improved over time, but distrust and doubt of others were continued. In addition, the wounded persons suffered from sleep problems. Therefore, early and continuous interventions of public institutions and public health specialists are needed for the wounded persons with chronic psychiatric disorders.

Quick accident spot reaching of 119ERU is the most important role in decrease of accident depth. If 4 minutes of wounded person pass after cardiac arrest, brain damage is begun. and If 10 minutes of wounded person pass after cardiac arrest, possibility to die rises. Accordingly, when establish 119ERU, need to consider travel time to traffic accidents spot. This treatise groped a facility location problem using SCLM and minisum location problem mutually. And existent minisum location problem has a problem that maximum travel time exceed $\lambda$. ERU to need in present situation and also can reduce average travel time. so this treatise propose modified minisum location problem. In case applying modified minisum location theory, 119ERU can arrive all demand and that is optimized about demand and travel time. Can minimise figure of 119 first aids to need in present situation applying this way, and also can reduce average passing time. Finally, this way can minimise figure of 119ERU to need in present situation and also can reduce average travel time.

This research has been studied through the actual conditional investigation about street monitoring from January to December of 2013 in Seoul city primally. As the result of this research, it has been performed aleady the Seoul city's BIS (Balanced Index Score) goal of 2013. The 18,490 cases were reported through the street monitoring activities. Despite of increasing drastically for 1,151 cases's record of 2012, Street monitoring activity appeared wide variations in the region, ages, vocation and gender. Also it depended on 25 outstanding persons of merely 3.9%. They reported 13,880 cases that run to 75.1%. On the basis of Herbert W. Heinrich's Domino theory and law of 1:29:300, the dead of 54, seriously and the slightly injured of 1,573 and the latent injured of 16,275 were decreased by eliminating unsafe state. It respected and protected the 17,903 Seoul citizen's life. This study suggested a effective improvemental method of monitoring activity by dawing a problem through Seoul and Gangdong-gu street monitor comparative analysis.

This study propose a model for railway safety evaluation with which the safety of whole railway system can be evaluated. The evaluation model is to generate a safety index which quantitatively represent the degree of railway safety. Safety index is proposed a function of three indexes; an accident index, safety management index, and safety culture index. This paper describes the first result from the study on the safety target which will be a key starting point toward the development of safety evaluation model. It is recommended that the safety target be composed of several sub-targets that are apportioned to constituent components. It is coneluded that the classification of safety target influence on deciding components or attributes that constitute each sub-indexes; an accident index, safety management index, and safety culture index.

본 연구에서는 우리나라의 건설현장에서 발생하는 안전사고 발생 특성과 강수특성 변화의 연관성을 분석하였다. 대상기간 2000년부터 2010년까지 지역별 건설 산업현장에서의 사고발생 건수(한국산업안전보건공단) 자료와 같은 시기 지역별 강수량 자료(기상청 지상관측지점)를 사용하여 강수량의 거동과 건설현장 사고발생 건수의 거동 사이의 상관성을 분석하였다. 건설현장 사고사례의 사고형태 중 부상자와 사망자 정보를 사용하였으며 지역의 구분은 특별시, 광역시 및 도 단위로 구분하여 분석하였다. 분석결과 전반적으로 연간 강수량의 증가 추세와 유사하게 전체 건설현장 안전사고의 발생건수가 증가하는 추세를 보이며, 지역별로 강수량의 증감 거동과 유사한 사고발생의 빈도의 증감거동을 보였다. 우리나라의 평균 월강수량과 월별 건설 안전사고 발생건수는 0.8의 선형상관성을 가지며 지역별 분석에서는 섬지역인 제주도가 가장 높은 상관계수 0.9를 나타냈고, 서울특별시 0.7, 대구광역시 0.7, 광주광역시 0.7, 부산광역시 0.5, 인천광역시 0.5, 대전광역시 0.4의 상관관계 순으로 나타났다. 강수변화에 따른 지역, 계절, 월별 강수-건설재해 상관성을 분석 제시하였다. 장마철인 7~8월에는 봄철인 3월~5월에 비해 강수량의 증가뿐만 아니라 21.16%의 사고 발생건수 증가가 나타났으며 우리나라의 강수특성 중 기후변화로 인하여 태풍의 영향이 많았던 시기의 사고발생의 특성을 정량적으로 분석하였다. 특히 2002년 태풍 '루사'와 2003년 태풍 '매미' 발생 시 산업현장의 재해 발생이 많이 있었던 것으로 조사 되었는데, 그 이유로는 산업현장에 태풍의 영향으로 감전사고 발생률이 2배가량 증가하며, 구조물과 사면이 무너져 내리는 등 사고가 빈번히 발생하면서 재해발생률이 더 증가하였다. 이처럼 기후변화에 따른 강수특성 변화로 건설 산업현장은 사고의 위험에 더욱 노출되고 있으므로 이에 대한 지역적 특성 분석과 대책 수립이 요구된다.

This paper introduces an integrated Modeling & Simulation framework for the efficient development of the rescue robot which rescues a wounded patients or soldiers and disposes a dangerous objects or explosive materials in the battlefields and disastrous environments. An integrated M&S(Modeling & Simulation) framework would have enabled us to perform the dynamic simulation program GAZEBO based Software-in-the-Loop Simulation(SILS) which is to replacing the robot platform hardware with a simulation software. An integrated M&S framework would help us to perform designing robot and performance validation of robot control results more efficiently. Furthermore, Tele-operation performance in the unstructured environments could be improved. We review a case study of applying an integrated M&S framework tool in validating performance of mobility stabilization control, one of the most important control strategy in the rescue robot.

Recently, the aging of agricultural society has caused a rapid increase in safety accidents in -agricultural machinery. Sometimes, the wounded may be left unattended resulting serious situation. In order to solve these problems, ICT technology is used to detect and inform the accident quickly when a safety accident such as overturning, collision or other accidents occurs during the operation or moving the agricultural machinery, such as cultivator, rearing machine, and tractor. A system capable of minimizing the amount of data is required. In this paper, an ICT - based automatic accident detection & propagation system is proposed for the agricultural machinery accident such as colliding crashes or overturning of agricultural machinery. The proposed system enables quick rescue by sending a text message automatically to family, acquaintances, hospitals and 119 in the event of an agricultural accident.

Recently, the magnitude and frequency of the natural disaster have been increased, the damage has become severer. The importance of disaster response system to relieve the damage has arised continuously. This study has tried to develop the algorithm to solve the facility location and size problem in emergency logistics. A facility in the emergency logistics has various roles in victim care, casualty treatment, relief resource management and relief vehicle assistance. Moreover, the location of facility in emergency logistics has to consider the safety and reliability. To gather these information, information management system with IoT sensors are suggested. The location problem in this study also covers various features to response various demands in disaster. To solve this problem, this study suggested MIP based algorithm. Scenario based simulation experiments are conducted to verify the performance suggested algorithm.

The purpose of this study is to clearly recognize critical issues and to suggest relevant solutions for the issues since too many deaths and injuries due to industrial accidents has been going on for a long time, also the deaths of workers is a problem that affects not only one person's death but also many people connected with it and society as a whole. And the need for a strict Serious Accidents Punishment Act is sympathetic. However, the current Severe Accident Punishment Act is not welcomed by both labor and management due to its ambiguity, and it is suggested that the punishment and legislative content of the management manager who violated the duty to ensure safety and health is abstract and the level of punishment is excessive. In addition, due to the ambiguous part of the management manager's interpretation and serious industrial accidents, most companies appoint large law firms to receive legal interpretation and advice, so only law firms are getting full, and the cost that companies invest to protect the CEO is actually a safety accident. It is suggested that the current enforcement ordinance, which has ambiguity, needs to be revised because it must be entered into as a preventive cost.

2023년 우리나라에 발생한 재난은 남부지방의 가뭄, 태풍 카눈에 의한 폭우, 7월~9월 폭염 등의 자연재난과 4월 5일 분당 정자교 붕괴, 4월 29일 검단신도시 붕괴사고, 7월 13일 대구 염색산업단지 황산 누출 등의 사회재난이 발생하였다. 이전 2022년에는 022년 10월 29일, 서울 이태원역 부근에 대규모 인파가 한번에 몰리며 압사사고가 발생하여 159명이 목숨을 잃고 196명의 부상자가 발생하였다. 이처럼 다양한 형태로 발생하는 재난에 대하여 우리나라는 「헌법」과 「재난 및 안전관리 기본법」에서 재난으로부터 국민의 생명·신체 및 재산과 국가의 피해를 줄이기 위해 노력하여야 한다고 명시하고 있다. 재난은 다양한 특성을 지니고 있으며, 학자들의 일반적 견해는 누적성, 불확실성, 복잡성, 인지성 등의 특성을 들고 있다(재난관리론, 2020). 특히, 사회재난은 발생위치, 시점, 피해, 규모를 예측하기가 상대적으로 매우 어렵기에(장대원 외, 2019) 불확실성의 특성을 강하게 보여주고 있다. 이러한 사회재난의 특성은 자연재난과 비교하여 사람들에게 물리적·심리적 영향을 크게 미칠 뿐만 아니라 단기간에 회복하기 어려운 특성을 지닌다(신재헌 외, 2020). 이에 대하여 많은 국민들은 심각한 사회재난이 발생할 때마다 정부차원의 적극적 재난관리 및 통제능력 향상을 요구하고 있으나, 사회재난 특성 상 특정 기관 중심으로 대응하기에는 많은 어려움이 있다(신재헌 외, 2020). 우리나라 경찰은 2021년 7월부터 자치경찰제도를 실시하며 국민의 생명·신체 및 재산의 보호, 범죄예방, 수사 및 질서유지업무 이외에 국민들의 봉사·서비스 행정 요구의 증대로 인한 적극적·능동적 경찰활동으로 변화하게 되었다(조호대, 2014). 이에 따라 경찰은 경찰의 재난관리체계를 확립하고, 경찰의 재난관리에 관한 사항을 규정함을 목적으로 2012년 「경찰 재난관리규칙」을 제정하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 경찰의 재난 발생 시 역할이 무엇이며, 특히 사회재난 시 경찰의 적극적 대응 방안은 무엇인가에 대하여 살펴보고자 한다.
