일본은 약 200만 명이었던 지역방재의 중핵적 존재인 의용소방대원의 수가 점점 감소하여 현재는 88만 명 수준으로 감소하여 이대로 가면 지역 방재체제에 지장을 초래할 우려까지 있고, 사회경제의 발전에 따라 산업구조와 취업구조가 크게 변화하여 의용소방대원의 약 70%가 피고용자(봉급생활자)인 상황이다. 따라서 의용소방대를 활성화하기 위해서는 봉급생활자가 의용소방대에 들어오기 쉽고 활동하기 쉬운 환경을 만들 필요가 있으며, 사업체의 의용소방대활동에 대한 이해와 협력이 절실히 필요하다. 일본 소방청은 의용소방대원을 고용한 사업체의 의용소방대활동에 대한 이해와 협력을 얻기 위해서 2006년도부터 의용소방대 활동에 협력하고 있는 사업체에 대해 "의용소방대 협력사업체 표시제도"를 도입하여 운영하고 있다. 이 논문에서는 제도 도입배경, 마크(표시증)교부 기준 등 운영실태에 대해 분석하여 소개한다.

이 논문에서는 한일 의용소방대에 대해 관련법령과 조례, 조직, 보유장비와 시설, 대원확보대책, 의용소방대 존재필요성에 대한 인식 등을 비교하였다. 이 비교분석을 통해 일본은 우리나라보다 관설소방이 잘 발달되어 있음에도 불구하고 의용소방대를 활성화하기 위해 소방청 차원에서도 다양한 정책과 제도를 개발하여 시행하고 있음을 알 수 있고, 관설소방이 잘 발달된 동경(東京)도 서울과 달리 의용소방대를 육성 발전시키고 있음을 알 수 있다.

일본은 소방제도의 틀이 잘 발달되어 있으면서도 잦은 자연재해 등으로 인해 지역주민에 의한 상부상조의 조직으로서 의용소방대가 발달되어 있다. 특히 화재의 발생이 많지 않거나 사고가 빈번하게 발생하지 않지 않는 지역에서는 의용소방대가 주도적인 역할을 담당하고 있다. 관설소방이 충분히 발달된 지역에서도 지진 등 천재지변의 대응에 대비하여 의용소방대를 육성 발전시키고 있다. 이 논문에서는 일본 의용소방대의 운영실태, 의용소방대 활성화를 위한 소방청의 추진사항 등에 대해 분석한다.

Japan is a representative state where the volunteer fire brigade consisting of private citizens is well developed although it has an advanced fire fighting system established by local governments. Japan realized the limitation of response by governmental fire fighting system when large-scale natural disasters such as earthquake or typhoon and has developed and promoted several policies to activate the volunteer fire brigade. This study analyzes the policies of the volunteer fire brigade in Japan in detail and suggests policies which can be introduced to activate the volunteer fire brigade in Korea.

This study sought for an improvement plan of overall fire-fighting activities and all kinds of support activities of service for public welfare of Korean Volunteer Fire Departments by utilizing the internal fire administration data and statistical yearbooks of the (Old)Ministry of Public Safety and Security (MPSS), the statistics of the (Old) National Emergency Management(NEMA), and the data of the National Statistical Office (NSO) of 5 years from 2012 to 2016 and drawing the practical problems through the statistical analysis. The results of the study are as follows: First, the quota management system of Volunteer Fire Departments that considers the characteristics of rural areas should be supplemented. Second, the culture and training system to solve internal conflict factors of Volunteer Fire Departments should be strengthened. Third, management members readership competency of operating organizations including volunteer fire marshals should be strengthened. Fourth, the education and training system of Volunteer Fire Departments to satisfy regional conditions should be established. Fifth, the reward system for Volunteer Fire Departments' activities of large disaster sites should be improved. The result of the study will be expected to be utilized as the basic data to develop Korean Volunteer Fire Departments in the future.

This paper was dealing with the change of academic meaning for activities of volunteer firefighter by enforcement of "Act on Volunteer Fire Brigade Establishment & Operation". For that, we checked the references including definition, origin, history, activities, and characteristics of volunteer firefighter. In addition, we confirmed the differentiating activity characteristics between the volunteer firefighter and the general volunteer. In result, the characteristics of the volunteer firefighter activities did not have with the spontaneity of the general volunteer activities due to Article 3 (appointment of volunteer firefighter), Article 4 (dismissal of volunteer firefighter), and Article 9 (working conditions of volunteer firefighter, etc) of "Act on Volunteer Fire Brigade Establishment & Operation". Finally, we could not interpret that the characteristics of the activities of volunteer firefither is same with the general volunteer activities. The result in this paper is expected to serve as a basis for the research of the volunteer fire department in Korea.

The purpose of this study is to discuss an academic concept transition of volunteer firefighting after implementation of the "Volunteer Fire Brigade Establishment & Operation Act". For that, the definition, function, and support of member for the volunteer fire brigade and the quasi-public organization were compared and analyzed using laws and its implementing ordinances, local ordinances, references, etc. In results, we can consider the definition of the volunteer fire brigade in relation to that of the quasi-public organization. In addition, it showed that the volunteer fire brigade have the function of the sub-administrative organization in the quasi-public organization. The support of volunteer firefighting was very similar to that of the village foreman as example of the sub-administrative organization. In conclusion, an academic concept of the volunteer firefighting was translated from the general volunteer organization to the sub-administrative organization in the quasi-public organization. The result in this paper is expected to serve as a basis for the research of the volunteer fire department in Korea.
