  • In this study, disaster damage investigation system was developed using high resolution satellite images and GIS technique to afford effective damage investigation system for widely disaster damaged area. Study area was selected in Bonghwa, Gyungsangbukdo where high magnitude of damages from torrential rain has occurred at July in 2008. GIS DB was built using 1:5,000 topographic map, cadastral map, satellite image and aerial photo to apply for investigation algorithm. Disaster damage investigation system was developed using VB NET languages, ArcObject component and MS-SQL DBMS for effective management of damage informations. The system can finding damaged area comparing pre- and post-disaster images and drawing damaged area according to the damage item unit. Extracted object was saved in Shape file format and overlayed with background GIS DB for obtaining detail information of damaged area. Disaster damage investigation system using high resolution spatial images can extract damage information rapidly and highly reliably for widely disaster areas. This system can be expected to highly contributing to enhance the disaster prevention capabilities in national level field investigation supporting and establishing recovery plan etc. This system can be utilized at the plan of disaster prevention through digital damage information and linked in national disaster information management system. Further studies are needed to better improvement in system and cover for the linkage of damage information with digital disaster registry.

  • Malfunction of gutter systems in the slope area accelerate to percolate surface flow into underground and to cause the decrease of soil strength, Overflowing from gutter causes soil erosion from slope surface, secondary it is one of the main reasons to cause disaster in the hillside area. Much researches were reported and are undergoing about flood disaster in the down stream area, but rare in the upper reach(hillside). It is considered that improving function of gutter in the hillside is very important to prevent the disaster caused by rainfall. In this paper, After analyzing relationship between rainfall and disaster on the hillside in Busan, researches about having surface flow run into gutter effectively and preventing from overflowing outside of gutter on the hillside in Busan were carried out. Improved design methods of gutter are suggested to mitigate disaster in the sloping area by analysis of collected data and hydraulic model test.

  • In Korea, local governments have decided the location of shelters as part of their disaster planning. However, no quantitative standards, such as assuming different hazard and shelter types, shelters' capacity, are specified in that planning. To propose the direction of disaster evacuation policy, first of all, the current state of shelters' location and evacuation area is needed to be analyzed. In addition, considering topographical condition such as road slope and physical strength by age are important factors to measure optimal evacuation route. The purpose is to suggest a new methodology of estimating optimal evacuation route considering resistance of road slope and difference of walking speed by age. Moreover, as a case study of Seoul, Korea, using coverage analysis of GIS analysis tool, the accessible area (or vulnerable area) to the shelters is evaluated based on the spatial distribution of disaster evacuation shelters and their accommodation capacity, according to evacuation time within 7.5, 15 and 30 minutes. The main results are summarized as follows: 1) The average area of disaster evacuation shelter per person is calculated as 0.45 square meters. Considering that the minimum shelters' area per person is 1 square meters, only 45% of people in Seoul can be accommodated. 2) The ratio of inhabitants who live in accessible area within 7.5 minutes presents only 33% of all. Furthermore, the ratio of inhabitants by age group of 5~9 or over 65 years old shows significantly lower percentage in comparison with 15~49 years old people.

  • Most of the Historic Preservation Areas are very vulnerable to disasters. The aim of this study is to build probability of street blockade for evacuation routes planning from each house to an evacuation place at a large-scale disaster in such a historic preservation area. The study area is Hamanaka Machi Happongi Shuku in Kashima city, Saga Prefecture, which has been designated as a preservation district of traditional buildings. To achieve this aim, we referred to the formula for probability of street blockade for normal city area made by Tokyo Fire Agency. We revised it, considering the width of street under 4 m, structure of houses along the street, and the distance from the house to main street with the width over 4 m. Then, we applied the revised formula to the study area.

  • If you examine the Industrial Disaster Analysis Content that occurs every year in the small and medium enterprise, industrial disaster occurs because of manager's lack of safety and worker's unprepared safety education. Therefore effective safety education systems are needed to offer adequate knowledge and technology to the workers. On this research, to give an effective education way to decrease industrial disaster we administered to the workers who are in charge of 300 workplace in Incheon area to search actual condition of industrial disaster and to disclose a link between industrial disaster and industrial safety education. We put in effect on frequency study and examined x2 using SPSSWIN 10.0. On the research, the results shows that the industrial safety education and training are in effect regularly and the satisfaction are low. But the manager's satisfactions are high through safety education. So it shows that we need to find a way to put in effect safety education to satisfy the workers.

  • Recently the frequency of coastal disasters caused by global warming is increasing and the damage is becoming greater. Therefore, the Korean government is establishing various policies and measures to minimize damage. For disaster prevention, this study will evaluate the disaster response capacity of each local resident(Eup/Myeun/Dong) in coastal areas through the survey. The purpose of this study is to quantitatively understand the disaster response capacity and analyze spatial autocorrelation between hot spots(vulnerable area) and cold spots. Thus this study was conducted a survey of 311 towns(Eup/Myeun/Dong) about the disaster response capacity of coastal residents. As a result, Namhae has the highest average score(4.9). On the contrary, Hampyeong has the lowest(1.6). Coastal residents in Namhae seem to have better understanding of first aid and preventive maintenance. But coastal residents in Hampyeong seem to not have these characteristics. Afterwards, this study builds a database of disaster response capacity, and analyzes it using the spatial autocorrelation method. Finally, the area of hot spots and cold spots for disaster response capacity was quantitatively detected.

  • Our country's coast is vulnerable area to natural disaster which the repetitive damages occur every year including a loss of lives, the damage of facilities and erosion mostly except for the east coast because of a typhoon, tidal waves, sea water overflowing by topographic structure of low-lying gentle slope and shallow sea. However, as for prevention of natural disaster occurring every year, the situation is that it's centered on the restorationcentered measures and the general disaster prevention research to minimize damages at the time of disaster occurrence is insufficient. This study intendedlop t to devehe techniques possible for real time sampling of damage prediction areas on Web in order to support decision making for damage prevention and establishment of disaster prevention policy. For this, the thematic map was produced related to disaster based on high-resolution satellite picture, and the environmental DB similar to real world was constructed through topographic construction of three-dimension integrating the parts of land and the sea. In addition, the system was developed possible for the expression of damageable regions by real time grasp of dangerous regions at the time of disaster occurrence through over flowing simulation of three-dimension, and it's intended to prepare a basis to minimize damages to disaster situations through it.

  • In the current times, large-scale disasters, such as the recent sinking of Se-Wol ferry, are occurring continuously and unexpectedly. In order to minimize damage in the disaster scene, quick delivery and sharing of information between crisis management agencies is one of crucial factors that determine the scale of the damage. However, ineffective communication persists between the agencies in disaster scenes where disaster management action has to be carried out urgently. For that, this research focused on the actual condition of the inter-agency communication method and wireless operations, and also suggested the building plan of effective and efficient networking through understanding of each agency's present state and duties.
