Our anxiousness has risen for recent increase in unpredicatable disaster. Accordingly, for the future society's preventing measure in advance against current considerable disasters due to societal crisis, we need to prepare secure measure ahead. Hence, we need to recognize the significance of governmental role and the value of Big Data application as ICT developed country in order to manage social crisis all the time. This manuscript analyzes human anxiety from listed disasters and describes that our government seeks new way to utilize Big Data in public in order to visualize Big Data related issues and its significance and urgency. Also, it suggests domestic/international application trend of Big Data's public sector with new practical approach to Big Data. Then, it emphasizes e-Gov's role for its Big Data application and suggests policies implying governmental use of Big Data for social crisis management by case-studying disaster measures against unpredictable crisis.

Purpose: The objective of this study is to suggest desirable direction of Korean accident investigation organization by analyzing the operation status and way of overseas developed countries' investigation agency. Method: To accomplish the objective of this study, we were examined four main characteristics of accident investigation agencies of the U.S., Japan, and Sweden, focusing on (1); the background of the establishment, (2);organizational structure, (3);major tasks and functions, (4); accident investigation procedures. Result: First, the purpose of its establishment and task is to prevent recurrence of disasters and accidents, at the same time, administrating and researching duties such as legal system, policy, recommending improvement and conducting scientific disaster-cause analysis to contribute safety for the government. Second, it is operated as an independent organization under the president, not belonging to the ministry, in order to enable fair investigation in an impartial position. Third, it has the authority to be recognized for its expertise in the results of investigation. In other words, it is operated as a permanent organization with professional personnel, and secures authority through the accident research with indepth investigation and high-quality recommendations. Conclusion: The overseas investigation agencies rapidly manage and coordinate their operational practices in order to resolve national requirements and social conflicts with fairness, accuracy and expertise in accident investigations. In order to prevent the recurrence of similar events, Korea needs to efficiently reconstruct its investigative functions distributed by each government department. In addition, institutional improvement is needed to make general adjustments at the national level, organize and operate control tower for when the accident has happened.

Purpose: This study was designed to provide necessary institutional improvements for job security for foreign workers in the domestic construction sector. Method: I analyzed the National Statistical Office and related reports to investigate the status of foreign workers. Based on this, the government came up with measures to improve the system. Results: Based on the current comparative advantage index (RCA) analysis, the technology standard of foreign workers compared to Korean workers was evaluated, and the results were analyzed in order of moldwork, rebar, concrete work, stone work, and waterproof work. Conclusion: A foreign worker's work system was introduced to solve the problem of local Lunar New Year's Day field manpower. To ensure stable implementation of the system, there is a need to improve the operation of the employment permit system at construction sites and limit the size of the construction industry that introduces the employment permit system.

Purpose and Method: This study aims to suggest institutional improvements to enhance the response to electric vehicle fires. To this end, we examined the prevalence of electric vehicles, fires, and related legal systems in Seoul. Results: The top-level laws and ordinances related to electric vehicles are centered on distribution policies, so there is no practical fire response plan for electric vehicle fires. In order to apply the same regulations to each local government, it is necessary to set standards and establish a system for firefighting and safety facilities in higher laws. Conclusion: Establishing standards for the installation of fire and safety facilities that take into account the characteristics of electric vehicle fires and improving related systems will ultimately lead to an increase in the penetration rate of electric vehicles.

하천관리청은 유량변동이 큰 환경에서도 평상시 하천의 기능을 유지하고 안정적인 용수공급이 이루어지도록 하천수 허가관리를 수행하고 있다. 이때, 하천수 사용허가 검토시 기준으로 사용되는 유량은 자연상태의 기준갈수량에서 하천유지유량을 감안하여 적용하고 있는데, 이는 하천유량의 변동에도 최대 용수수요를 만족할 수 있게끔 관리하기 위한 것으로 최대 사용량일 때의 물의 과부족을 계산하여 허가 여부를 결정한다. 본 연구에서는 Park et al.(2016)이 제안한 시기별(홍수기/이수기, 비관개기/관개기 고려) 하천수 사용허가 기준유량 설정방법을 기반으로, 수질오염총량제(Total Maximum Daily Loads, TMDLs)에서 적용하는 안전율(Margin of Safety, MOS)의 개념을 접목하여 허가기준유량의 불확실성을 정량적으로 고려할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다. 허가기준 유량은 수문모델에 의해 자연상태의 모의유량을 유황분석하여 도출하게 되므로 유량의 연도별 변도성(Margin of Variability, MOV)과 예측모델 매개변수의 불확실성(Margin of Uncertainty, MOU)을 고려하는 Walker Jr.(2003)의 안전율 산정방법을 적용하였다. 본 연구에서는 금호강 유역을 대상으로 시기별 자연유량 산정시 고려한 SWAT 모형결과를 기반으로 하였으며, 모의자료의 변이계수를 산정하여 시간적 변동성에 의한 불확실성을 도출하고 SWAT-CUP모형을 활용하여 모형의 불확실성을 도출하여 안전율을 계산하였다. 단, 기준갈수량이 허가기준유량으로 사용되는 기간(1월 1일~3월 31일)에는 안전율까지 고려할 경우 지나치게 보수적이라고 판단되어 적용에서 제외하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 불확실성을 고려한 하천수 관리방법론은 시기별 하천수 허가기준유량 설정에 대한 의사결정자들의 판단을 지원하는데 기여함으로써 정책적 활용도를 높일 뿐만아니라 탄력적인 하천유량관리를 위한 기초연구로 활용될 수 있을 것이며, 타 분야 기술과의 융합이라는 점에서도 의의를 가질 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

According to the National Fire Agency, there were 61 traffic accidents of Fire engines in 2021. That is an increase of about 80% compared to the previous year. And the number of injuries and deaths increased by more than 300%. According to the survey of this study, less than 25% of firefighters wore seat belts of Fire engines during dispatch, contrary to the rapid increase in injuries and deaths. About the reasons for why firefighters do not wear seat belts, It can be found in aspects that are related to personal consciousness, organizational culture, and firefighting dispatch. The number of dispatches will increase in the future, this is considered to be a serious problem for the stability of the firefighting organization. In this study, a seat belt should be designed newly and proposed to improve the seat belt wearing policy.
