This study was conducted with the purpose of measuring the disaster damage reduction effect according to the provision of the early warning service ahead of the nationwide expansion. The damage reduction effect was measured using insurance data for 19 insured crops in areas that early warning services were provided during the period from 2017 to 2020. As a result of the measurement, it was analyzed that the early warning service had the effect of preventing or reducing disaster damage to farms. In particular, it was found that the disaster reduction effect was greater when disaster prevention facilities were equipped. The implications obtained from the results are as follows. First, by presenting subjectively experienced disaster reduction cases as numerical effects using insurance data with public confidence and objectivity, it can be used as basic data such as expansion of service area, discount of insurance premium with service adoption, and promotional materials for service subscription for early warning service. Second, in expanding and distributing early warning services, giving priority to areas or crops equipped with disaster prevention facilities can help increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the project.

During the past few years, Korea has experienced extraordinary floods, which have caused many damages of lives and properties. Flooding caused by typhoon is the most common disastrous phenomenon of nature among all catastrophes. As the average temperature of the earth has been increasing by global warming, the possibility of typhoon is also increased by abnormal climate changes. Along with the river improvement as a part of flood control, the time of concentration has been decreased, so the pick discharge has been increased. Moreover, with the land development activities, the area of storage has been diminishing, and the damages from inundation have been continuously increasing. There were a lot of damages to farmland in 1960's, industrial and public facilities in 1970's, and a lot of sufferings from the windstorm in 1980's. In 1990's, however, the amount of damages was increased substantially. So, there is need to decrease the number of the victims and loss of properties by applying preventive measures against natural calamities. This study has employed a simulation system to calculate the depth and amounts of inundation areas to forecast and prevent from flood damage by using rainfall-runoff model. In this study, a case study method is adopted to show inundation by using rainfall-runoff model, HEC-GeoRAS and Arcview. It is hoped that, this study would be conducive to professionals and organizations working in the field of disaster management.

여수로는 수리시설의 계획저수위보다 높아진 수위를 낮추기 위하여 물을 안전하고 신속하게 방류하는 시설로 조절형식과 비조절 형식으로 구분한다. 조절형식은 인위적으로 조절수문을 이용하여 수위를 조절하는 형식으로 수문식과 밸브식으로 분류하며, 이상홍수대비 비상방수문에 많이 사용되고 있다. 비조절형식은 자연적으로 수위를 조절하는 형식으로 개수로와 관수로로 분류한다. 개수로에는 측수로식, 슈트식, 자유낙하식, 월류식이 있으며, 관수로에는 터널식, 선굴식, 암거식, 사이펀식이 있다. 한국농어촌공사가 관리하는 저수지는 3400개소로 측수로식 2091개소, 월류식 1269개소, 사이펀식 5개소, 선굴식 3개소, 기타 56개소로 비조절형식 여수로가 약 98%를 차지하고 있다. 2003년도에 재해대비 수리시설 설계기준이 개정되어 유역면적 2,500ha, 총저수량 500만m³이상이고 하류지역의 재산 및 인명피해가 클 것으로 예상되는 저수지는 PMF를 설계홍수량으로 적용할 것을 규정하고 있다. 이러한 설계기준의 홍수빈도를 적용하기 위해 기존 저수지의 치수능력증대 사업이 추진되고 있다. 치수능력증대방안으로는 제당높이 증고, 보조여수로 설치, 기존여수로의 확장 등 다양한 방안들이 있으며, 구조물 안정성, 경제성, 현장 여건을 고려한 시공성 등을 종합적으로 고려하여 채택하고 있다. 그 중 가장 대표적인 방안이 기존의 설계빈도를 초과하는 PMF 홍수량에 대하여 추가로 보조여수로를 설치하여 방류하는 방안이다. 본 연구에서는 기존 사이펀 여수로가 설치되어 있는 저수지에 측수로식 여수로와 사이폰식 여수로를 신설하여 FLOW-3D로 수치해석을 수행하였다. PMF 유입에 대한 저수지의 안정성을 확보하고, 이상강우에 의한 재해를 사전에 예방하기 위하여 신설 여수로의 방류능력, 접근 유속, 허용최대유속 등 각종 수리특성을 분석하여 홍수량 배제 능력을 검토하였다.

최근 지구 온난화에 따른 이상 기후변화로 인해 국지성 집중호우와 같은 강우양상이 지속적으로 발생하고 있으며, 집중호우의 빈도 및 규모 또한 커지면서 이에 따른 인명 및 재산피해가 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 이처럼 국지성 호우의 형태로 집중될 경우 중소천에서는 범람이 순식간에 일어나 피해가 가중될 수 있다. 하지만 소하천에서의 홍수발생특성을 고려한 홍수방재시스템의 구축과 같은 대책 수립은 국가하천이나 지방하천에 비해 여러 가지 측면에서 미흡한 것이 현실이다. 따라서 실제 상황에서 효과적인 홍수범람 예측평가 및 실시간 경보발령을 기반으로 한 방재시스템으로 이어지기 위해서는 소하천 유역의 위험성을 평가하기 위한 명확한 기준이나 시스템에 대한 정리와 적절한 대안의 마련이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 소하천에 적용하기 위한 GIS기반 분포형 홍수범람모형을 개발하고 연구대상지역의 지형자료(수치고도모델, 토지이용도, 토양도)와 기상자료(강우, 기온)를 입력자료로 하여 홍수범람모형을 모의 한 후 일강우(200mm/day, 300mm/day)시 발생 가능한 침수예상도와 비교 분석하였다. 모의 결과 침수예상도와 개발 모형의 침수해석 결과가 비교적 잘 일치하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 연구결과는 향후 소하천정비사업 지구 우선선정을 위한 기준제시 및 피해예상지역의 선정을 통해 재해예방효과를 거두기 위한 선정 기준으로 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to compare the rates of industrial accidents in workplaces that adopted the 2011 Workplace Health Promotion Subsidy Scheme before and after the implementation. Methods: The study analyzed the raw data of industrial accidents of 304 workplaces which received subsidies for health promotion activities in 2011. The raw data covered the period from February 2010 to July 2012, based on the dates of industrial accidents. Results: Workplaces subsidized for health promotion activities reported fewer occurrences in staff injuries and illnesses than before the subsidization, as the total number of industrial accident victims dropped from 0.35 to 0.24. The rate of industrial accidents also dropped from 0.49 to 0.35, with the number of working days decreased from 35,433 to 23.867, about 33%. Conclusion: The study showed that financial support for health-promoting activities contributed to the decease in industrial accidents, which is an important indication advocating the need for corporate and government investment on workers health promotion programs. Furthermore, this study is also significant as it is the first research conducted in Korea to examine the impact of a workers health promotion project using a direct indicator, the rate of industrial accidents.

As higher on the industrialization of chemical factories in Korea, it shows a tendency that safety accident happens more times and is bigger on its size. For preventing from and decreasing such accident, PSM(Process Safety Management) system has used in chemical factories. Though it is recognized that PSM is sutable and effective for only a intensive system technically, it could be difficult to apply to all of factories, actually. This study was proceeded for investigating the effect and problems on the application and performanance of PSM into the threshold quantity site and suggesting how fur improvement. The results are as followed; PSM system was not used effectively in the threshold quantity site of medium and small-sized enterprises because of the shortage of experts and the decrease of interest as a deregulation. As the effective performanace of PSM for preventing from industrial accident in threshold quantity site and for sattling as self-system easily, it was concluded to get an active support from the concerned government. First of all, new progrems to improve PSM should be developed continually and the progrems should be educated extensively.
