Until recently, GIS technology was mainly based on 2D for disaster management. Necessity of 3D spatial information came to the fore with a speedy and accurate response system in disaster management. However, most fire-fighting facilities presently use CAD with 2D formation, Image drawings, and conception of construction data's formation. It is not about the drawings in map production. It's about varieties of construction ways or contents. In this study, we are proposing the ways on analyzing the existing disaster management targets for 2D technology drawings, designing the 3D spatial information data model, and transforming the effective 3D spatial information into algorithm and dimension spatial information construction for easily building on mass 2D architectural drawings to 3D spatial information effectively in disaster management. We can maxim ize efficient construction time and expenses. Then what is proposed in this study about constructing 3D spatial information for manual work, and it's significance for improving decisive decisions and utilizing the tasks to prevent, prepare, respond and restore steps in disaster management.

Modern fire fighting jobs have been expanded to include areas of rescue, emergency medical service as well as conventional fire suppression, so that load for fire fighting jobs has been increased. Specifically, musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) such as low back injury have been considered as one of major industrial hazards in heavy manual material handling during fire fighting jobs. This study tried to evaluate risk levels and to prepare background for reducing risk levels associated with heavy manual material handling during fire fighting jobs. This study applied two major tools in evaluating heavy manual material handling jobs which were NLE (NIOSH Lifting Equation) and 3DSSPP (3D Static Strength Prediction Program). A risk index in terms of heavy manual material handling during fire fighting jobs was identified. This index consisted of seven risk levels ranged from nine points (the first level) to three points (the seventh level). There was no job associated with the first level (the highest risk level) of index. There was only one job (life saving job) belonging to the second level (the second highest risk level) of index. The third level had jobs such as usage of destruction equipment and lifting patient. A total of basic eighteen jobs was categorized into six different levels (2nd-7th levels) of index. The outcome of the study could provide a good basis for conducting job intervention, preparing good equipment and developing good education program in order to prevent and reduce MSDs including low back injury of fire fighting jobs.

The purpose of this study is to help the education of fire safety of technical high schools through the investigation of skills club students's recognition on fire safety in Seoul city. To achieve the purpose, 56 skills students who going to skills competition were surveyed for 3days from Jun. 19 to 21, 2006. The Results of this study are as follows ; First, a large numbers of students in technical high school placed low value on the importance of safety in life, and fire safety was very important, however, lower than structural safety. Second, the education of fire safety was arranged by school authorities, carried out only by the half of these school. It was necessary that the specific education of fire safety for major and skills competition was hosted by a department. Third, it was necessary that the system all accidents were certainly reported by the related student and the method prevented a recurrence. 4th, the field of fire safety in Industrial Introduction subject of national curriculum was satisfied by students. And if this subject revised, students wanted to extend the contents of fire safety and to orient to practical technique.

This study assessed the flood vulnerability of Jeju-do depending on climate change using VESTAP. The results showed that the flood vulnerability of Jeju-do in the future (2020s, 2030s and 2040s) will increase continuously compared to the present time (2010s). In particular, the flood vulnerability of Jeju-si is expected to be higher than Seogwipo-si prior to 2030s. Conversely, the flood vulnerability of Seogwipo-si is expected to be higher than Jeju-si after 2030. These analysis results confirmed the characteristics of flood vulnerability between Seogwipo-si and Jeju-si and the growth of flood vulnerability entirely within Jeju-do.

Fire fighters rely on fire fighter protective clothing (FFPC) to provide adequate protection in the various hazardous environments. To enhance its protection performance, the FFPC material must be thick and thus it is difficult to achieve weight reduction. One of the methods of overcoming this problem, the addition of phase change material (PCM) to FFPC, is a new technology. In previous studies, the researches was mostly related to the temperature characteristics of the fibers incorporating PCM, but little information is available about its effect on burn injuries. Thus, in this study, the inhibitory effects of adding PCM to FFPC on second degree burns were investigated through numerical calculations. Thermal analyses of biological tissues and FFPC with embedded PCM exposed to several fire conditions causing severe tissue damage were studied by using a finite difference method based on the Pennes bio-heat equation. FFPC with embedded PCM was found to provide significantly greater protection than conventional fire fighting clothing, because the heat of absorption due to the phase change within the material is used to limit the heat conduction of the material.
