The research of psychological supporting systems as safety and welfare for disaster victims damaged psychologically as well as physically by a sudden disaster to return to effectively their social life has been carried. The domestic National Emergency Management Agency(NEMA) is operating the Disaster Victim Psychology Support Center that helps with curing damaged psychology and studies the transmission system of psychology management services, the classification of victims for disaster psychology support, and emergency consultation method to systemically support disaster psychology management. However, current psychology supporting centers provide the simple information for supporting centers such as medical and social welfare organizations. The development research of IT-based management systems to obtain needed information to construct the proposed systems curing psychological damage is still primitive step. Therefore, this paper shall propose a GIS-based integrated management system for victims and managers to effectively share related information one another and to return to victims' social life as soon as possible. Also, we implement a simple prototype system based on the Web. The proposed system supports the spatial search and statistical analysis based on map as well as keyword search, because having the location information on disaster victims, damage occurrence places, welfare and medical institutions, and psychological supporting centers. In addition, this system has the advantage reducing the frequency of disaster damage by providing aids in making efficient policy systems for the managers.

재난 시 피해자를 위해 사용되는 고압산소치료 시 흔한 부작용으로 높아진 압력에 적응하지 못하고 귀의 통증을 비롯한 압력 손상의 증상이 발현되는 경우가 종종 존재하여 이는 고압산소치료 시 해결해야 할 과제로 떠올랐다. 이에 본 본 연구에서는 고압산소치료기에 개발된 압력손상방지장치를 연결하여 적용하였을 때 고압산소치료 중 압력손상이 조기 감지되고 이를 통해 고압산소치료를 받는 피해자가 압력손상이 진행되지 않는지에 대하여 연구하였다. 압력손상방지장치를 활용하면 고압산소치료 중 압력손상이 조기 감지되고 이를 통해 고압산소치료를 받는 피해자가 압력손상이 심하게 진행되지 않는데 도움을 받을 수 있다. 단 이는 피해자 본인이 체내압력 조절이 가능한 상태여야 하며 의식이 없거나 협조가 어려운 대상에 대한 압력손상방지는 또 다른 도전으로 향후 이에 대한 추가적 연구가 필요하다.

There have been increasing incidents of natural and social disasters that claimed many lives and caused financial calamities worldwide, which call for an attention to mental health issues affecting disaster victims. This study reviewed the findings of the empirical research on the effects of disaster on the victims, the prevalence and determinants of the mental health problems. The disaster tends to disproportionately affect the socio-economically disadvantaged population and their mental health problems and recovery seemed to be heavily influenced by post-disaster experiences such as restoration of physical environment, prospect of economic recovery and resumption of normalcy in their lives, opportunities for participation in decision-making that affect their lives. Such findings suggest that the disaster mental health should shift from its traditional approach that focuses on short-term clinical interventions to alleviate acute mental distress for the victims to a public health approach that involve medical, social and economic interventions as well as community empowerment to prevent chronicity of the mental health problems and to improve the general quality of life of the individuals and the community adversely affected by the disaster. Implications for the social work research, policy making, education and practice were discussed.

과거와 달리 유독가스가 생성되는 화재, 폭발, 화학사고 및 급격한 기압차를 경험하게 되는 선박 침몰 구조 등 다양한 재난 혹은 사고 상황에서 고압산소치료가 욕구되며, 이를 수행할 수 있는 고압산소치료챔버는 재난에 대응하는 핵심 자원으로 그 수량과 배치가 적절해야 한다. 따라서 다양한 종류의 재난에서 발생하는 유독가스 피해자에게 고압산소치료는 필수적이나 본 연구에 의하면 국내에는 고압산소치료챔버의 숫자와 동시에 고압산소치료로 수용할 수 있는 환자수에도 한계가 있고 그 분포의 불균형도 존재하고 있어 재난 시 인명 피해 감소의 기반 장비, 시설로서 고압산소챔버의 균형있는 확산, 적용이 시급한 실정이며, 이는 가칭 재난고압산소지수로 객관화할 수 있다. 국내에서는 인구밀집지역인 수도권이 고압산소치료가 필요한 재난에 대한 대응 기반이 부족하다가 향상되고 있으며 부산, 경남 권역에 고압산소치료 자원이 편중된 현상을 보이고 있다. 고압산소치료 필요한 대량의 중환자 발생 시는 국내 전체의 고압산소치료기 활용 여부에 대한 실시간 모니터링 시스템이 필요하고 필요 시 원거리 피해자 전원 시스템을 갖추어야 하므로 이는 향후 구축해야 할 사항으로 이를 위한 전국적 고압산소치료기 모니터링 시스템이 필요하다.

군중눌림 사고 형태의 재난은 국내에서 경험과 연구가 미진한 재난의 형태이지만 세계적으로는 선진국이나 후진국을 가리지 않고 꾸준히 발생중이며, 2022년 10월 29일의 이태원 참사에서 보듯이 국가사회에 엄청난 파급력과 영향을 주는 재난이다. 따라서 군중눌림 사고를 이해하고 발전된 학술적 접근 방식을 통하여 최소한의 예방, 대비, 대응 수준에 이르러야 하나 국내에서는 그 연구가 미진하고 용어와 개념 정립도 되어 있지 않다. 군중눌림 사고는 그 본질 상 얼마 안 되는 짧은 골든 타임 내에 해결이 되지 않으면 대처 시간이 거의 없어 인명피해 대처가 매우 어렵다. 즉 질식으로 의식이 저하되는 피해자가 신고되어도 현장 도착 구급대원이 밀집된 군중을 뚫고 피해자에게 신속히 접근하기란 애무 어려워, 선진국들조차도 많은 인명피해를 내지만 뚜렷한 한 가지 해결책을 제시 못하고 있는 형편이다. 이러한 상황에서 군중압박 사고 관련 정립되지 않은 용어를 관련 개념과 같이 조사 정리하고, 과거 있었던 대표적 군중집회의 분류, 특성 등을 알아보며, 이를 기반으로 용어와 개념이 정리 및 표준화되는 기반이 되도록 하였다.

Purpose: Recently, crimes caused by stalking crimes have become a social issue. Following the "Stalking Response Manual", we would like to examine measures and problems to protect victims, and to examine the necessity of private expenses as a supplementary alternative. Method: The victim protection measures of stalking crimes and the police's 'stalking response manual' were identified, and problems and the necessity of private expenses were analyzed. Result: The number of people in charge of the police is 398 per person, and the police alone have limitations in protecting stalking victims. It is necessary to find ways to actively utilize the parts that cannot be solved only by the police while cooperating by entrusting them to private expenses. Conclusion: With the enactment of the Stalking Punishment Act in 2021, measures to protect victims were stipulated in the stalking response manual, but there are limitations in protecting victims due to various problems. Therefore, it is necessary to study ways to protect victims using private expenses.

In many cases, trauma is overcome in a short periodtime, but for some, trauma results in long-term mental health issues such as in the form of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Natural disasters cause different types and extent of damage, meaning the degree of stress experienced also varies. In the case of damage to a house, the impact can be considerable. Therefore, this study examined the trauma experienced by households whose homes were damaged by natural disasters and to confirm the characteristics of psychological trauma. It was confirmed that traumas was greater when a house was damaged, compared with damage to other types of items. In addition, even in the case of trauma occurring, factors that affect the pattern of change to someone's mental state vary depending on the state's classification. And In addition, health services is significantly analyzed in all variables, and it was considered that the provision of basic services related to safety after a disaster is paramount. However, while psychological counseling has a positive effect on short-term traumas that manifests as anxiety and depression, it has an adverse effect on PTSD because of the depth and complexity of the suffering in PTSD, meaning the type of psychological support needs changing.

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.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess socio-demographic, disaster-related, physical health-related, psychological, and social factors that may adversely affect disaster victims' QoL (Quality of Life). Methods: A cross sectional study was designed by using the secondary data. From the 3rd Disaster Victims Panel Survey (2012~2017), a total of 1,659 data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics including frequency, percentage, t-test, ANOVA, and multivariate linear regression. Results: Older people with lower health status lacking financial resources prior to a disaster were more at risk of low levels of QoL. Lower levels of perceived health status, resilience, and QoL were reported by disaster exposed individuals, while their depression was higher than the depression in the control group of disaster unexposed ones. Resilience, social and material supports were positively associated with QoL whereas depression and PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders) were negatively associated. Conclusion: These findings suggest that psychological symptoms and loss due to disasters can have adverse impacts on the QoL of disaster victims in accordance with their prior socio-demographic background. They also indicate that targeted post-disaster community nursing intervention should be considered a means of increased social support as well as physical and mental health care for disaster victims.
