The purpose of this study is to reveal the causal relationship between the demographic characteristics of international students living in Korea and the effect of Korean language level on safety awareness. It was confirmed that there was a significant difference in all areas such as life safety awareness, fire safety awareness, and disaster safety awareness depending on the area of residence. The results to analyze the effect of Korean language expression and comprehension ability on safety consciousness are as follows. First, it was found that Korean expression ability had a positive (+) effect on life safety awareness but did not have a significant effect. Comprehension ability had a negative (-) effect on life safety awareness but did not have a significant effect. Second, it was found that Korean expression ability had a significant effect on fire safety awareness and had a positive (+) influence relationship. Finally, it was found that the Korean language expression ability had a significant effect on disaster safety awareness and had a positive (+) influence relationship. It is necessary to strengthen the awareness of safety for international students while staying and living in Korea, and when teaching Korean, Korean language comprehension education on safety-related topics as well as daily Korean must be strengthened.

The purpose of this study was to test the effects of video-based fire safety education among college students on the students' fire safety knowledge and disaster safety awareness and competency. Improvements were found in fire safety knowledge (t = -3.24, p = 0.001), social disaster awareness (t = -2.25, p = 0.025), basic disaster awareness (t = -2.44, p = 0.015), and disaster safety capacity (t = -2.04, p = 0.043). The contents of safety-education materials should be continuously developed. Those materials should be provided to many people, and future research should test the longer-term effects of those educational interventions.

Since the mankind started its space mission, the number of artificial space objects has been increasing exponentially. It contains not just the space machines which are in use but the machines which are out of order. Meantime, those dead machines are being a serious danger, a real threat to human's lives and property because of it could re-enter into the earth's atmosphere and fall to the ground causing mega-disaster. As the number of space activities gets growing so far, the re-entry of the space objects will be a lot more happened in the future. Therefore, not just natural space object like asteroids but the artificial space object like artificial satellite and space station can cause the disaster by falling to the ground. To protect our nation and our property, the government has set up the space disaster management center in Korea astronomy and Space science Institute. In this study, we surveyed public's recognition of the space object's re-entry situation and analyzed it to contribute building national space disaster management policy.
