본 논문은 재난관리의 성과에 대한 근원적 의문에 대한 문제제기에서 출발하였다. 재난관리의 성과는 재난에 대한 정부의 관리적 측면, 즉 행정관리 역량이나 산출지표 등으로 평가되어 왔다. 재난은 일상의 삶에 대한 도전이자 생존의 문제와 직접적으로 연계되어 있다는 점에서 재난에 대한 정부의 책임 요구가 지속적으로 강조되어 왔다. 정부 역시 재난에 대한 책임과 역할을 위하여 다양한 정책적 노력과 전문성을 강화하기 위한 노력을 지속하여 왔다. 그렇다면 재난에 대한 책임을 모두 정부에 물을 수 있는 것일까? 여기에 대하여 상황을 고려해야 하며, 반드시 정부가 책임이라고 답하기에는 분명 한계가 존재할 것이다. 즉, 재난에 대응하는 과정에서 정부의 노력과 함께 개인적 차원의 관심과 노력 역시 필요하기 때문이다. 따라서 본 연구는 재난관리의 성과가 정부 조직의 책임역량이 증진되는 것과 함께 시민들의 참여도 증진 역시 그 성과로 이해할 수 있을지를 검토하고 실증분석하는데 목적이 있다. 분석을 위하여, 기존 연구들에서 재난관리의 주요한 독립변수로 활용되던 재난경험, 재난위험, 조직특성 등을 주요한 독립변수로 사용하고자 하며, 종속변수는 재난조직의 책임역량과 재난현장에의 시민들의 자원봉사 참여도로 구분하여 설정하였다. 즉, 기존의 재난관리 성과와 대안적 성과로서 시민참여도 증진을 실증분석하고자 하였다. 분석결과, 재난성과는 조직의 내부적 책임역량의 증진과 함께 외부적으로 시민들의 참여를 이끌어 낼 수 있어야 한다. 이러한 시민 참여는 재난관리의 성과로서 정부의 새로운 지표가 될 수 있다. 시민들의 참여는 지역에 대한 재난의 위험 인식이 높을수록 그 참여도가 증진되는 것으로 나타나며, 이는 재난에 대한 대국민 인식개선 및 환경에 대한 위험도 증진의 정책적 노력이 필요함을 의미한다.

This study quantitatively analyzed the fire risk of buildings by use nationwide, fire occurrence, and the statistical data of buildings by use. Fire incidents and buildings' statistics from the past 10 years (2008-2017) were used and classified as "Building Laws" and "Enforcement Decree of the Act on the Installation, Maintenance, and Safety of Fire Facilities" to be used for the relative assessment under the Natural Breaks as a risk matrix. In addition, after conducting risk assessment using 2018 fire occurrence data, we compared and analyzed the same with past 10 years' data. The results showed that most facilities had similar risk grades, except for the results of reduced risk levels from IV to II in recreational facilities, confirming the past and present data correlations as valid. Hence, the classification method is deemed appropriate. Through the results, the fire risk assessment of buildings by use nationwide are presented as a reference for fire safety.

In this study, the ISO 5660 and ISO 5659 combustion tests were conducted with synthetic resin conduits (CD, VE) and metal conduit (ST) used for wiring work in electrical facilities, which can be installed in ceiling concealed places. Then, fire spreading and evacuation risks were analyzed based on the measured data. In the ISO 5660 test, CD of 120.5 MJ/㎡, VE of 81.9 MJ/㎡, and ST of 4.9 MJ/㎡ were measured. In the ISO 5659 test, the CD 1320, VE 731, and ST 102 were measured, and then the maximum smoke densities were measured for CD 605 s, VE 740 s, and ST 1,200 s. In terms of fire spreading and evacuation risk, the CD conduit, VE conduit, and ST conduit were in order. In the fire spreading risk analysis, total heat emission was calculated as 4,820 MJ/㎡, 4,267 MJ/㎡, and 196 MJ/㎡ for CD, VE, and ST, respectively. Evacuation risk analysis shows at transmittance of 89%, CD is 127 s, VE is 35 s, and ST is 969 s. At transmittance of 79%, representing almost invisible concentration, CD is 157 s and VE is 50 s. The CD and VE conduits had a high fire spreading and evacuation risks, while the ST conduit had little effect on fire spreading and evacuation risk.

최근 기후변화로 인해 국지성 집중호우 및 태풍으로 인한 피해가 빈번하게 발생하고 있으며, 많은 인명피해와 재산피해가 발생하고 있다. 그 중 토석류 피해가 산지뿐만 아니라 도심지에서도 빈번하게 발생하고 있으며 토석류에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 토석류 연구를 위한 다양한 토석류 모형이 있으며 토석류 거동 분석, 토석류 피해범위 분석 등이 이루어지고 있지만 토석류에 의한 충격력에 관한 연구는 미미한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 토석류의 유속과 유동심을 이용하여 피해범위에 따른 충격력을 산정하고 충격력 분포도를 구축하고자 하였다. 대상지역으로는 2011년 집중호우로 인해 토석류가 발생하였던 서울 우면산, 춘천 마적산 2개소, 용인시 능원리 지역으로 선정하였다. 토석류를 유발시키는 홍수량을 해석하기 위해 분포형 강우-유출모형인 S-RAT모형을 사용하였으며, 토석류 충격력 해석을 위해 토석류 2차원 수치해석모형인 RAMMS모형을 사용하였다. 모의 시나리오는 빈도별 확률강우량(30년, 50년, 100년, 200년)과 토사농도(Cv : 0.4, 0.5)를 이용하여 RAMMS모형에 적용하여 분석을 실시하였으며 각 시나리오에 따른 충격력 분포도를 구축하였다. 분석 결과로 나온 토사재해 충격력 분포도를 통하여 재료별(콘크리트, 철골, 조적식, 목재) 저항력에 따른 시설물 설치 가능 지점을 판단할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

Since the Northridge earthquake (1994) and Kobe earthquake (1995), the concept of performance-based design has been actively introduced to design major structures and buildings. Recently, the seismic design code was established for fire protection facilities. Therefore, the important fire protection facilities should be designed and constructed according to the seismic design code. Accordingly, uniform hazard spectra (UHS), with annual exceedance probabilities, corresponding to the performance level, such as operational, immediate occupancy, life safety, and collapse prevention, are required for performance-based design. Using the method of probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA), the uniform hazard spectra for 5 major cities in Korea with a recurrence period of 500, 1,000, and 2,500 years corresponding to frequencies of (0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 5.0, 10.0)Hz and PGA, were analyzed. The expert panel was comprised of 10 members in seismology and tectonics. The ground motion prediction equations and several seismo tectonic models suggested by 10 expert panel members in seismology and tectonics were used as the input data for uniform hazard spectrum analysis. According to sensitivity analysis, the parameter of spectral ground motion prediction equations has a greater impact on the seismic hazard than seismotectonic models. The resulting uniform hazard spectra showed maximum values of the seismic hazard at a frequency of 10Hz and also showed the shape characteristics, which are similar to previous studies and related technical guides for nuclear facilities.

Purpose To analyze the altered brain regions and intrinsic brain activity patterns in trauma-exposed firefighters without posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Materials and Methods Resting-state functional MRI (rsfMRI) was performed for all subjects. Thirty-one firefighters over 40 years of age without PTSD (31 men; mean age, 49.8 ± 4.7 years) were included. Twenty-six non-traumatized healthy controls (HCs) (26 men; mean age, 65.3 ± 7.84 years) were also included. Voxel-based morphometry was performed to investigate focal differences in the brain anatomy. Seed-based functional connectivity analysis was performed to investigate differences in spontaneous brain characteristics. Results The mean z-scores of the Seoul Verbal Learning Test for immediate and delayed recall, Controlled Oral Word Association Test (COWAT) score for animals, and COWAT phonemic fluency were significantly lower in the firefighter group than in the HCs, indicating decreased neurocognitive function. Compared to HCs, firefighters showed reduced gray matter volume in the left superior parietal gyrus and left inferior temporal gyrus. Further, in contrast to HCs, firefighters showed alterations in rsfMRI values in multiple regions, including the fusiform gyrus and cerebellum. Conclusion Structural and resting-state functional abnormalities in the brain may be useful imaging biomarkers for identifying alterations in trauma-exposed firefighters without PTSD.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of psychosocial factors related to functional dyspepsia(FD) and their effects on quality of life(QOL) in firefighters. Methods : This study examined data collected from 1,217 firefighters. We measured psychological symptoms by Patient Health Questionnaire-9(PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder questionnaire(GAD-7), Korean Occupational Stress Scale(KOSS), Ways of Coping checklist(WCCL), Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale(RSES) and World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale abbreviated version(WHOQOL-BREF). Chi-square test, independent t-test, Pearson's correlation test, logistic regression analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis were used as statistical analysis methods. Results : For the group with FD, the male participants showed significantly higher frequency(p=0.006) compared to the female participants. The group with FD had higher scores for depressive symptoms(p<.001), anxiety (p<.001), and occupational stress(p<.001), and did lower scores for self-esteem(p=.008), quality of life(p<.001) than those without FD. The FD risk was higher in the following KOSS subcategories: job demand(OR 1.94, 95% CI : 1.29-2.93), lack of reward(OR 2.47, 95% CI : 1.61-3.81), and occupational climate(OR 1.51, 95% CI : 1.01-2.24). In the hierarchical regression analysis, QOL was best predicted by depressive symptoms, self-esteem, and occupational stress. Three predictive variables above accounts for 42.0% variance explained of total variance. Conclusions : The psychosocial factors showed significant effects on FD, and predictive variables for QOL were identified based on regression analysis. The results suggest that the psychiatric approach should be accompanied with medical approach in future FD assessment.

Background: Etiologic diagnosis of pleural effusion is usually made by clinical characteristics, pleural fluid analysis and pleural biopsy. But, despite careful diagnostic study, the cause of pleural effusion cannot be found in about 20 percent of patients, especially in loculated pleural effusions. Tuberculous pleurisy is one of the most common cause of pleural effusion in Korea. But, pleural fluid culture for Mycobacterium tuberculosis are positive in only 20 to 30 percent of patients and typical pleural biopsy finding in less than 50 percent of patients with this disease. In recent studies, adenosine deaminse(ADA) and its isoenzymes were proposed to be a useful diagnostic tool for differential diagnosis of pleural effusion. We investigated the pattern of ADA and its iscenzyme activities in various cause of pleural effusions to evaluate the diagnostic value of measuring ADA and its isoenzymes. Method: We measured total ADA and its isoenzyme activities in pleural fluid and serum from 54 patients with pleural effusion(25 tuberculous pleural effusion, 10 parapneumonic effusion, 14 malignant pleural effusion, 5 transudative pleural effusion), including 5 loculated tuberculous pleural effusions and 6 loculated parapneumonic effusions. Total ADA activity was measured by the spectrophotometric method and ADA2 isoenzyme activity was measured with same method using EHNA, potent inhibitor of ADA1 isoenzyme activity. Result: Total ADA activity of tuberculous pleural effusion was higher than malignant pleural effusion(p<0.01), but no significant difference was found between tuberculous pleural effusion and parapneumonic effusion(tuberculous pleural effusion: $148.9{\pm}89.9IU/L$, parapneumonic effusion: $129.0{\pm}119.4IU/L$, malignant pleural effusion: $48.7 {\pm}39.7IU/L$). Percentage of ADA2 activity to total ADA activity(ADA2%) of pleural effusion of tuberculous pleurisy was higher than parapneumonic effusion(p<0.05). but no significant difference was found between tuberculous pleural effusion and malignant pleural effusion(tuberculous pleural effusion: $57.2{\pm}10.7%$, parapneumonic effusion: $35.9{\pm}17.8%$, malignant pleural effusion: $60.7{\pm}4.1%$). In loculated pleural effusion, ADA2% of tuberculous pleural effusion was higher than parapneumonic effusion(tuberculous pleural effusion: $53.3{\pm}3.9%$, parapneumonic effusion: $27.8{\pm}7.9%$). Conclusion: Measurement of ADA isoenzyme activity is useful for differentiating tuberculous pleural effusion from parapneumonic effusion, especially in loculated pleural effusion.

In this research, the fire mistaken dispatch records for the past 11 years have been analyzed by using a statistic technique. Fire mistaken dispatch occurred yearly average $48,371{\pm}5,763$ time at 95 % confidence level. This is 1.2 times more than the dispatch for extinguishing the fire. Fire mistaken dispatch has been increased mainly by malfunctioning alarm among other various reasons and the reason of mistaken dispatch is different depending on the population of the region. In big cities, the burning smell accounts for the most of mistaken dispatch but in rural areas, the garbage incineration is the major reason for mistaken dispatch. As a result of calculating the mean time between fire mistaken dispatches (MTBFmd) by region, MTBFmd of Daejeon is 20.61 hr/time and its reliability is 95.26 % at t=1 hr. On the other hand, the MTBFmd of Gyeonggi is 0.58 hr/time and its reliability is 17.91 % at t=1 hr.
