On 7 December 2007, the Hong Kong registered tanker Hebei Spirit, laden with 209,000 tonnes of crude oil, was struck by the crane barge Samsung No 1, whilst at anchor about five miles off Taean on the West Coast in Korea. About 10,500 tonnes of crude oil escaped into the sea from the Hebei Spirit. The recent oil leakage from a tanker in seas off Taean has turned the sea farms and fishing areas on the country's western coast into a sea of oil. Analysts say the spill is considered as one of the world's devastating sea pollution cases involving oil. In our contemporary society where people are exposed to potential dangers in every aspect, no one can be free from such dangers. With an increase in human casualties due to disaster, disaster reporting plays a vital role in preventing and minimizing damages. Despite such enormous significance, however, Korean disaster reporting has not performed effectively. In this contexts, this study analyzed the problems of disaster reporting in Korea, with the case of Hebei Spirit oil Spill in Taean-gun. And, this study suggest the establish ways and means needed to improve the disaster reporting in Korea with the case of Hebei Spirit case.

Domestic broadcasting companies are obliged to provide the disaster information quickly to protect the public from the disaster, and people can prepare the disaster. Especially, Korea Broadcasting System (KBS) has a duty to deliver disaster news more quickly and accurately than other broadcasting companies because it is designated as a host broadcaster for disaster broadcasting services in accordance with Article 43 of the Broadcasting Act. This study examined how the KBS deals with social disaster news related to Zika virus, and evaluated whether they used the frames in a timely manner to help people prepare a disaster. Based on the results of this analysis, this study tried to suggest practical implications for measures to improve the efficiency and reliability of disaster news report.

The primary source of disaster information for victims as well as ordinary people is mass media. In spite of their importance, the media often inaccurately portrays reality, which has stimulated academic debates. In Korea, however, media reporting patters of disaster have been hardly addressed. Therefore, the paper analyzes how newspaper and television news have reported typhoon Rusa between August 29 and October 1 in 2002 by using KINDS(Korean Integrated News Database System). The results show that television news tend to present more soft news stories emphasizing human interest stories than newspaper articles, relying on victims as primary interviewees. It is also pointed out that the Korean media do not play a significant role in providing disaster information to public regarding how to lessen the effects of impact through preparation. Disaster mythology representing wrong beliefs about human behavior in disaster is found in Korean media reporting, too. Unlike their western counterparts, however, Korean media seem to use the dependency image of helpless victims in order to stimulate donations. Analyses of disaster reporting patterns suggest that, in make disaster warning messages associated with behavioral responses, credible and official sources should provide clear and precise warning messages to the media, and the media also need to stress individual responsibilities in protecting his or her own properties not to make victims heavily dependent on public supports, while inducing donations.

This study aims to describe the reporting patterns of articles on the Emergency Grant for all citizens(EGAC) and compare the reporting attitudes by newspaper companies. The main results are as follows: First, conservative newspapers reported more than four times as much coverage of EGAC as liberal newspapers. Newspaper articles reported during the week of the National Assembly Election Day accounted for about a quarter of the total, and 79.1% of the articles were reported in the political realm of newspapers, and only 2.8% in the social realm. Second, a conservative newspaper reported a critical attitude toward EGAC at 52.6% and favorable articles at 5.3%. On the other hand, in a liberal newspaper, critical articles were 17.1% and favorable articles were 37.1%. The inefficiency of selectivism was reported as the basis for the argument in favor, and concerns about the burden of deterioration in the financial soundness of the opponents were reported the most. Politicians are the most cited sources of information in articles. Finally, in prior to policymaking, the proportion of the media in favor of and against the news was similar, and the proportion of articles with a neutral attitude accounted for more than half. And in the specific method discussion stage, the articles in favor of the article exceeded the proportion of articles on the opposite side.

This study analyzed how KBS's 'Type and Format', 'Professionalism' and 'Infectious Disease-related Issues' appear in the media news related to Corona-19 under the three periods of 'discovery', 'diffusion' and 'recovery'. According to an analysis of a total of 473 media news, In all three periods, 'Straight Report' and 'Information Delivery Frame' were high to inform the truth of the infectious disease. In addition, the 'transmission of facts' frame was more used than the emotional transmission in reporting the risk situation. However, the proportion of 'moral evaluation frames' in the second phase was relatively high, and the proportion of non-professional journalists was still overwhelmingly higher than professional journalists. Meanwhile, infectious disease-related issues had the most content on 'infection control', and relatively little information on how to deal with them. Based on the above findings, this study suggested the implications of 'Increased in-depth and professional press coverage', 'Refrain from moral evaluation frames' and 'a comprehensive presentation of various infectious disease-related information'.

지구 온난화의 영향 등으로 해외 및 국내의 재난 재해 발생빈도가 증가하고 있으며, 그와 비례하여 인명 및 재산 피해 규모도 높아지고 있다. 재난방송은 예상되는 재난 등의 위험을 미리 알림으로써 재난 등에 적극적으로 대비하여, 생명과 재산을 재난으로부터 지키게 하므로 그 중요성이 더욱 증가하고 있다. KBS는 재난방송 주관방송사로 신속하고 정확한 재난보도를 전달하기 위하여 노력하고 있으며, 그 일환으로 재난을 실시간으로 통보할 수 있는 재난자막 자동화 송출 시스템을 구축하여 운용하고 있다.

최근 과학 IT 패러다임은 기존 하드웨어, 소프트웨어 중심에서 폭발적으로 증가하는 데이터를 활용하여 정치 사회 경제 등 제반 이슈와 연계된 분석 예측으로 진화하고 있으며, 모바일 인터넷과 소셜 미디어 등장으로 데이터가 경제적 자산이 되는 빅데이터 시대가 도래하였다. 급속히 변화하고 복잡해진 사회구조와 재난환경으로 인해 인력에만 의존한 재난관리의 사각지대가 대형재난으로 이어질 우려가 크므로 다양한 재난전조(前兆)를 체계적으로 관리하여 선제적으로 예방하는 체계가 필요하다. 본 연구는 인터넷에 존재하는 재난관련 언론보도, 민원, 제보, 소셜 미디어 등의 비정형 데이터와 재난관련 정형 데이터(DB)를 융합 분석하여 재난전조를 사전에 감지하고 위험요소를 신속히 제거하는 빅데이터 기반 재난전조감지 체계를 제안한다. 최근 피해가 급증하고 있는 도시내수침수 피해 위험 예방을 위해 제안한 재난전조감지 체계를 적용하여 피해발생 위험요소 및 전조, 긴급 이슈 등을 감지하는데 활용하는 방안을 제안한다. 이는 전조를 감지하고 사전 침수 피해를 예측하여 피해 최소화 및 복구비용 절감, 저감능력 강화의 효과뿐만 아니라 위험요인 사전 차단 및 확산방지가 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

본 논문에 사용되는 칩들의 결합을 위해 다양한 접착제(바인더)가 나와 있으나, 환경 친화적인 제품이 많지 않고, 접착력이 떨어지고, 탄성이 작고, 경화시간이 길어서 제품 성능과 작업성에 문제가 많다. 본 Soft 포장재의 경우 하부층과 상부층의 2층 구조를 함으로써 보다 견고하고 내구성이 있는 구조를 가질 수 있으나, 하부층의 경화속도가 늦으면 시공이 길어지게 되기 때문에 경화시간을 단축할 접착제(바인더)의 개발이 절실히 요구된다. 또한 재료의 배합비율을 조절하여 Soft한 정도를 용도에 맞추어 그 배합비의 정도나 표준화된 단면을 적용하여야 한다.
