The purpose of this research is to know what factors have impacts on their risk perception and attitude in risk communications. This research shows the research findings that the determinant factors of risk perception are the possibility to control the risk, benefits of recognition, the specialty of risk management, and the usefulness of information about the risk. And also the results have shown that the determinant factors of risk attitudes are the possibility to control the risk, the understanding of science and technology, the familiarity with the risk, the usefulness information about the risk, the accuracy of information, and the initiative in the protection of citizens from the risk. As the results have indicated, common determinant factors are the usefulness of information about the risk and the possibility to control the risk. Both of them that affect risk perception and attitudes on electromagnetic waves are important factors in risk communication research. Therefore this study shows that what factors suppose to be considered important in risk communication process about risk of electromagnetic waves.

The risk of electromagnetic field(EMF) from power lines has been heavily disputed whenever high-voltage power line towers were built in South Korea. Local communities and civic groups had regarded burying the lines in the ground as an alternative to building power line towers. In 2014, however, when an elementary school science teacher reported the results of EMF measurements over the underground power lines to the Asian Citizens' Center for Environment and Health (ACCEH), the risk controversy over underground power lines took a whole new turn. The level of EMF from underground power lines turned out to be higher, and therefore more harmful than that from power line towers. In the debates that took place from then on over the EMF risk, ACCEH and NIER(National Institute of Environmental Research) presented conflicting topographies of EMF risk. This paper examines measuring practices of ACCEH and NIER by analyzing the measuring sites, measuring devices, and measuring heights chosen by each organization. This paper further examines how ACCEH and NIER mobilized various standards(EMF exposure limit, measurement guideline, categorization of carcinogens) differently. This controversy on the EMF from underground power lines of Seoul has raised concerns on the non-thermal effects of EMF in the long-term exposure and has led people to question whether burying the power lines is the safe alternative to building power line towers. Furthermore, this suggests conflicting answers on whether Seoul, where 90 % of transmission lines were already buried, is a safely managed place or not.

일상생활에서 전자파의 사용이 급증함에 따라 국민들의 전자파에 대한 건강상의 심각한 잠재적 위험성에 대한 관심과 우려가 증가하고 있고, 다른 기기의 오동작 등 전자파환경 문제가 사회적 문제로 대두되고 있다. 전자파에 대한 올바른 이해와 막연한 불안감 해소를 위하여 전자파 환경기술에 대해 전자파 장해와 인체영향 분야로 나누어 살펴보았다. 먼저, 전자파 장해 관련 기술은 규제 차원의 제도적인 문제와 시험 및 대책을 위한 전자파 측정과 대책 설계 등의 해석 기술을 다루었으며, 전자파 인체영향은 잠재적 위험성에 대한 예방정책의 일환인 인체보호기준과 이에 대한 생물학적 근거, 그리고 전반적인 연구분야에 대해 설명하였다. 끝으로 전자파로부터 안전한 전자기기 이용환경을 실현하기 위한 정책 방향에 대해서 제시하였다.

전자파가 착화기에 미치는 영향을 간단한 안테나 이론을 바탕으로 예측하였다. 구룡을 중심으로 위험 정도를 예측하였으며 주변 전자파 강도는 MIL.-STD-461에 RS전계를 적용하였다. ‘Worst case’에서 구룡 무기체계는 특정 주파수 대역에서 ‘위험’이 있음이 예측되었으며 그에 따른 개선 방향을 제시하였다.

지금까지는 전자파의 위험성으로 인체 유해성 문제와 기기의 오작동에 대해서는 널리 알려져 왔으나, 전자파의 유기에 의한 감전 및 점화 위험성에 대해서는 국내에서 그다지 인지하지 못하고 있는 실정에 있었다. 그러나 이러한 전자파중 고주파 방사에 의한 감전 및 점화 위험성은 수신안테나로 작용하는 금속성 구조물의 종류가 다양하기 때문에 이에 따른 전기적인 등가회로도 각각 달라 현장에서 일일이 측정한 데이터를 사용하는 시뮬레이션 및 실험이 필요하다. (중략)

The study examined how the risk perception of cellular phone electromagnetic waves' possibility to harm human bodies would be psychologically different by gender and age. The study measured the risk perception targeting a total of 1,001 men and women in their twenties and more living in six major cities in Korea. According to the results, for the risk perception by gender, the women would recognize the risk of cellular phone electromagnetic waves more than the men. Among the women, those in their fifties appeared to have the greatest risk perception. In particular, the risk perception difference by age and gender was observed to be affected by psychological factors and, the study should be regarded academically significant for having verified the importance. For general people, they would perceive the risk via those psychological factors as experiences in daily life. Therefore, in order to relieve social conflicts caused by the risk, basic risk communication based on proper understanding of how the general people would recognize the risk should be provided. Hence, the study is expected to be a chance for intervention strategy research on how our community would proceed with communication and how the community, again, apprehends the cellular phone electromagnetic waves as well.
