The magnitude and frequency of international disaster recovery aids and supports by the United Nations and other donor countries to least developed countries are increasing due to the emerging risks such as super typhoons and consequently worsened impacts by those disasters. With emergency recovery aids, systems for disaster mitigation and preparedness are also needed to the countries hit by disasters. Through the KOICA programs, the Korean government is trying to establish an effective disaster support system for disaster-hit countries. This study reviews current post-disaster aid systems of various countries and international organizations and proposes improved disaster aid system for the Korean government. The improved system can be used in the assistance of effective and enlarged international recovery activities promoting Korean government's status in the international disaster management society.

본 연구를 통해 재난안전데이터의 공동활용을 위해 다양한 관점에서의 데이터 표준화가 필요하다는 것을 확인하였다. 향후 4차 산업혁명에서의 데이터의 위치와 빅데이터에서의 데이터 융합, 공공데이터 이용에 대한 패러다임의 변화에서도 볼 수 있듯이 재난안전정보 뿐만 아니라 데이터는 수요자 중심의 활용과 이용으로 새로운 데이터의 가치를 얻을 수 있음을 알 수 있다. 이러한 재난안전정보의 효율적이고 체계적인 공동활용을 위해 재난안전정보 관점에서 비정형 자료의 데이터 수집, 데이터베이스의 관리 및 데이터의 표준(안), 재난안전정보의 교환 표준(안) 및 공동활용 전략을 제시하였다. 이러한 연구를 통해 재난안전정보의 공동활용 체계를 구축하여 정보공유 및 재난안전정보의 추적, 활용이 가능하게 하여 신속하게 대국민 재난정보를 제공할 수 있는 체계를 구축하여 경험기반의 재난관리 및 지능형 재난관리의 의사결정을 지원할 수 있는 시스템으로 확장할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

사회재난 중에서 일상에서 발생하는 화재는 대형 참사로 이어지기 쉬운 재난 유형으로 소방청을 재난관리 주관기관으로 체계적으로 운영하고 있다. 그러나 매년 화재 발생 건수는 감소하는 반면 그 피해 규모는 확대 추세로 화재 발생 시 피해 규모 최소를 위한 고도화된 재난관리 시스템이 요구되는 실정이다. 정부 또한 4차 산업혁명 시대에 적합한 연구개발을 장려하기 위한 정책과 지원방안을 더욱 확대하고 있다. 본 연구는 화재에 대한 재난관리 시스템의 발전방안을 통하여 전문성을 높이고 효율성 확보에 목적이 있다.

The disasters in Korea, such as the Sewol Ferry Ship sinking disaster has had problems related to the medical response system, with the problems of emergency medical support team in the site, the cooperation between medical staff and fire department officer at disaster site, field medical support and hospital acceptance of the wounded in trouble, the lack of specific systematic medical response manual. Therefore, from May 2014, when the disaster emergency information center in Central Emergency Medical Center starts, collection, modification and education of scattered preexisting disaster emergency medical manual had appeared as important issues. So, it was necessary to develop the early medical response system to disaster. The correction planning of disaster emergency medical response system by Central Emergency Medical Center included quick response system with the fast medical team operation, but the practical application was not enough. So the researcher and his team developed the first Korean disaster emergency medical response manual and the process of development was documented and arranged with the application by education and training.

Objective : In October 2016, the most powerful earthquake, magnitude 5.1 and 5.8 struck the city of Gyeongju in Korea. Although it did not take a toll, this implicates potential disaster in the future. Taking this earthquake, this paper considers the healthcare system responding to disaster in non-government organization and other countries, and investigates the roles of occupational therapist in disaster management. Methods : This paper reviews literature related to healthcare system and roles of occupational therapist in disaster response. Results : Humanitarian recovery mission of Red Cross impacted and facilitated the recovery of vulnerable population including children, elderly and people with disabilities in disaster response. It was also emphasized by occurring large population with disabilities after disasters so that the concept of rehabilitation and occupational therapist's role was required. Occupational therapy practitioners play an important role in the stage of disaster preparedness, response and recovery and their target population is children, elderly and people with disabilities. Conclusion : The most of NGO and counties take the concept of rehabilitation into healthcare system responding to disaster. However, the system in Korea stays in emergency level. It is important to take the humanitarian recovery and rehabilitation concept to disaster relief. the survivors would be able to return to their normalcy and health life.

서울소방재난본부를 중심으로 긴급구조통제단과 관련된 정보화 현황을 살펴보고 개선방안을 모색하여 향후 연구방향을 제시하는 것은 재난대응 역량 강화에 기여하는 계기가 될 것이다. 본 연구의 목적은 긴급구조 통제단 운영업무와 관련하여 전산화 현황은 미비한 상황이므로 이를 체계적이고 합리적으로 개선하여 소방 공무원의 재난행정 업무를 경감하고 신속한 의사결정을 지원하는 정보화체계의 필요성을 제시하는 데 있다.

As the role of volunteers in disaster settings has been growing overtime, the present study was aimed to understand voluntary disaster workers with their burnout pattern and examine group differences in their secondary traumatic stress and world assumptions. Total of 70 voluntary workers who served for recovery from Sewol ferry disaster participated in this study. Using cluster analysis, we identified three distinct cluster groups on the basis of three burnout subscale scores(emotional exhaustion, personal accomplishment, depersonalization): Group 1 was characterized by the highest score on personal accomplishment and low levels of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. Group 2 scored the highest on emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, and relatively high on personal accomplishment. Group 3 was characterized by the lowest scores on three subscales. Results from χ² tests showed that groups differed significantly on types and the period of support activities. Analysis of variance was conducted to identify further group differences. The results indicated that Group 2 scored the highest on secondary traumatic stress, while Group 1 scored the highest on worthiness of the self. Finally, the clinical implications and limitations of these results as well as suggestions for further research were discussed.

COVID-19 is a complex disaster, not an infectious disease-level disaster, and it is difficult to respond with the existing disaster response management method. As a result, experiencing psychological stress and trauma such as 'Corona Blue' has emerged as a new social problem. This study examined the changes in non-face-to-face counseling services using ICT technology and the application cases of image, AI, and VR by companies as the transition to the digital economy accelerates. Based on this, disaster psychological recovery support services were considered to improve the psychological recovery and quality of life of the people after a disaster by establishing a more efficient counseling system and developing counseling services using ICT technology.

Background: This study aims to identify the factors that influence the incidence of catastrophic health expenditure (CHE) for the elderly living alone and to discuss how to manage CHE for the elderly living alone. Methods: This study utilizes 6th (2016), 7th (2018), and 8th (2020) data from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging to identify the incidence rate of CHE among the elderly living alone and conducts a panel logit analysis. The dependent variable is the incidence of CHE (thresholds: 10%, 20%, 30%), and the independent variables include demographic factors (gender, age group, region), socioeconomic factors (education level, economic activity status, income quintile, financial support rate from children), health-related factors (subjective health status, regular exercise, smoking, drinking, number of chronic diseases), and healthcare coverage factors (type of health insurance, private health insurance). Results: Descriptive statistics classified by gender show that female elderly living alone are more vulnerable than male elderly living alone in terms of disease prevalence and socioeconomic status. In addition, the incidence of CHE is higher for elderly women living alone than for elderly men living alone across all thresholds. The main results of the panel logit analysis show that higher education, income quintile, and financial support rate from children are associated with lower odds of CHE, while poorer subjective health and a higher number of chronic diseases are associated with higher odds of CHE. Medical aid recipients are less likely to incur CHE than those covered by national health insurance. Conclusion: The implications of this study are as follows. First, vulnerable elderly living alone with multiple chronic diseases and low income and education levels are more likely to incur CHE. Second, it is necessary to review policies such as a CHE support program and chronic disease management programs focused on vulnerable elderly individuals living alone. Third, the CHE support program should be operated in a patient-centered manner, with consideration given to a customized system for selecting and supporting elderly individuals living alone who are in need.
