주로 여름철에 발생하는 익사사고는 강에서 멱을 감는 소년층에서 가장 많다. 대부분은 안전수칙을 잘 지키지 않거나 수영미숙 등으로 사고가 많이 일어나며 또한 수심이 갑자기 깊어지는 경우에 일어나기도 한다. 그 외에도 수영장이나 바다에서도 익사가 발생하고 있다. 익사사고는 기도에 물이 들어가는 질식사가 주원인이나, 실제로 기도나 폐에 물의 양이 많지 않은 경우가 대부분이며 때로는 기도에 물이 전혀 없는 후두경련으로 인한 기도폐쇄 즉 건성익사도 있다. 사고 시 소생술 시작이 늦으면 늦을수록, 소생술자의 경험이 미숙할수록 치사율은 높으며 나이가 어릴수록 소생 후에도 더 위험하다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate drowning death patients on clinical care and prevention. Drowning accidents that occurred in the Republic of Korea were identified by using the Emergency Activity Daily Report Data from the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA). The age of drowning accidents was 20-29 years (25.4%). Drowning cases for the months of August was 17.6%. The main circumstance involved in the drowning cases was swimming (45.0%). Half of swimming incidents related the drowning accidents of people attempting to save a life of a family member or friend from the water. The most common location was at a lake or reservoir (40.2%). Drowning is a main cause of accidents in the Republic of Korea. Preventive strategies that may be beneficial for persons contain life jackets or life rings supply, upgrading swimming ability, placing lifeguards based on public education activities.

The purpose of this study was to report the incidence of drowning accident in order to prevent and decrease the accidents of drowning. Data were obtained on all accidents of drowning accidents occurred from January to December 2007 were identified by using the Emergency Activity Daily Report Data from the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA). The age, weather, date, location, time and case of the drowning accident were examined. The Chi-square test was used to compare each group. All comparisons were made at the p<0.05 level of significance. The result show that the age of drowning accidents for victims aged 20-29 was 27.9%, and for victims aged 30-39 years, 18.7%. In reguard to the age group, drowning accidents during recreational aquatic activity was age 20-39; 51(44.8%). In reguard to the locations, the number of drowning accidents in a lake or reservoir during recreational aquatic activity was 62(53.4%). The number of drowning accidents in a lake or reservoir during etc was 51(58%). In reguard to the days, the number of drowning accidents on Saturday during recreational aquatic activity was 30(25.8%), on Sunday 32(27.6%). The weather of drowning accidents during recreational aquatic activity was sunny 60(51.8%), rainy 40(34.4%), cloudy 16(13.8%). The season of drowning accidents during recreational aquatic activity was summer 53(45.7%). In reguard to season, two groups are significantly different. Drowning is a leading cause of injury related accidents. Understanding the characteristics of drowning is the first step to developing prevention strategies that may be beneficial for people of all ages and under nearly all circumstances are increased swimming ability, lifeguard staffing, providing life jackets, and public education activities.

This paper introduces analyzing the feature of drowning accidents in Korea and reviewing the method for reducing it. A lot of drowning accidents happen at inland areas such as lakes and rivers in Korea. Also, when the accident happens, systematic notify and rescue activity are carried out, but in terms of an accident prevention, there are many problems such as lack of management manpower and the difficulty of continuous monitoring about dangerous areas, etc. In order to resolve the problems about prevention of drowning accidents and the lack of the management, the role of the local governments is important, and using the ICT technology, it is effective to make use of monitoring remotely dangerous areas and developing control technology.

따가운 햇살, 후텁지근한 날씨, 그럼에도 여름을 손꼽아 기다리는 이유는 바로 시원한 물놀이 때문일 것이다. 멀리는 바다나 강, 계곡은 물론 가까운 수영장 그 어디라도 좋다. 그런데 즐겁고 신나는 물놀이가 한순간 방심하면 끔찍한 악몽이 될 수도 있다. 심심찮게 들리는 익사사고부터 가벼운 발목 골절까지, 크고 작은 사고 때문이다. 사고 없이 안전한 물놀이를 하려면 어떻게 해야 할까.

This study is to reduce the rate of drowning accident by using of buoyancy bag. People are exposed to the high risk of drowning accident when they have water leisure activities due to the lack of safety mind-set and shortage of safety products. In case of drowning accident, the rescue action is normally depending on the other people's assistance. Therefore, rescue activities which relyn the people doesn't improve the ratio of survival in the drowning accidents. The submarine specialists should use the buoyancy products to rescue the people in the drowning accident. The citizen can carry portable buoyancy product in the automobile as well as by hands anywhere and anytime. It will be effective rescue tool to save his/her life in the emergency. In addition, it will contribute to rescue other's life because it can be used immediately. There are 3 positive characteristics on the buoyancy bag. First, it is convenience. Documents and other stuffs can be kept in the bag. Second is safety. The material of buoyancy is placed in the inner of the bag. It is possible to float the person whose weight is 90 kg. Lastly, it is durability. It can be used long-term because the outer of the bag is made of anti-water material and anti-water zipper. As a result of performance analysis, it is evident that the buoyancy bag can be used to rescue the people in the drowning accident as a indirect rescue tool compared with the current other rescue products. It is recommended that the design of outer box and performance of buoyancy are required to be improved in order to contribute more to rescue people in the accident.

June 1, 2004, National Emergency Management Agency was established, and one of its aims is to reduce the percentage of accident occurrence and damage scale to that of developed countries in 10 years. In this paper, Korea is compared with Japan in the view of actual conditions of accident occurrence in order to compare Korea with developed countries. In the case .of Korea, traffic accidents, fire accidents, careless accidents, drowning accidents, climbing accidents occur frequently. Decreasing these accidents is a major target to reduce the accident occurrence. Also, home accidents of babies and elders who are unable to avoid dangers are frequent. Studies focusing on those related accidents are required.

The KSA caused an error in deriving the statistical measurement items due to the misconfiguration of the safety variables and sub-modules that constitute the safety statistics framework for external causes of death, and pathogenesis, without considering the academic classification system of the field and area of the disaster/accident. By naming it as a mechanism, it was analyzed that the result of poor statistical validity has arrived. Therefore, in this study, by changing the safety parameters according to the WHO safety definition and setting the sub-modules appropriately, the categories of falls, drowning accidents, and accidents exposed to inanimate mechanical forces are classified as accidents at industrial sites and work in daily life. As a result, by systematically re-establishing the complex group of statistical items of the NSO by deriving the field of disasters/accidents according to the nature of the source of external causes of death and setting the relevant domains academically, statistical validity gets better and It is anticipated to play an important role in determining the direction of safe investment.

최근 수상 레져활동 등의 활성화 및 4대강 사업에 의한 하천의 수면 및 수심 증가, 친수시설 등의 설치로 친수활동이 빠르게 증가하는 추세이다. 친수활동의 증가로 인한 수난 사고 및 수체와 접촉으로 인한 질병 감염 등의 안전성 문제도 증가하고 있다. 현재 국내에서 익사 등의 수난 사고는 2012년 기준으로 474건에 달하고 있으며 오염된 수체와 접촉으로 인해 질병에 감염되는 해외사례가 과거 1978년에서 2002년 동안 445건에 달하고 있다. 이로 인해 친수활동의 안전성을 보장받을 수 있는 친수지구 및 친수공간이 더욱 더 요구되어지고 있다. 친수지구 및 친수공간의 안전성을 보장 받기 위해서는 친수활동에 대한 평가가 이루어져야 하지만 현재 친수활동의 제재와 제한의 기준이 명확하지 않다. 하천공간 내에서의 친수평가는 일반적으로 수질적 인자들을 중심으로 산정되고 있으며, 그에 비해 유속 등과 같은 수리적 인자에 대한 고려는 미흡한 실정이다. 우리나라에서는 다기능 보의 운영에 따라 본류의 수심 및 유속 등이 급격히 변화될 수 있으며, 이는 친수활동에 직접적인 영향을 미칠 수 있기 때문에 친수평가를 위해서는 수질적 인자 뿐만 아니라 수리적 인자도 종합적으로 고려할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 친수평가를 위해 고려할 수 있는 다양한 수질 및 수리적 인자와 국내 외에서 적용된 친수활동지수 산정에 관한 사례를 소개하고자 하였다.
