  • The KSA caused an error in deriving the statistical measurement items due to the misconfiguration of the safety variables and sub-modules that constitute the safety statistics framework for external causes of death, and pathogenesis, without considering the academic classification system of the field and area of the disaster/accident. By naming it as a mechanism, it was analyzed that the result of poor statistical validity has arrived. Therefore, in this study, by changing the safety parameters according to the WHO safety definition and setting the sub-modules appropriately, the categories of falls, drowning accidents, and accidents exposed to inanimate mechanical forces are classified as accidents at industrial sites and work in daily life. As a result, by systematically re-establishing the complex group of statistical items of the NSO by deriving the field of disasters/accidents according to the nature of the source of external causes of death and setting the relevant domains academically, statistical validity gets better and It is anticipated to play an important role in determining the direction of safe investment.

  • Objective : Disaster causes psychological distress to a large number of people in a short period of time, by both direct and indirect exposure to traumatic events embedded in various realms of disaster experience. Optimal, well-planned treatment interventions should follow from the early acute period to recovery phase, extending up to several months later. In this context, there is an increasing need for systemic review to gain comprehensive insights for disaster interventions. These need to be added to public policy, and for the prevention and treatment of disaster-related psychopathology. Here, we review the published studies on psychological interventions for disaster-related posttraumatic stress disorder. Methods : Specific psychological interventions regarded as effective treatments for have been selected for this review, such as CBT (Cognitive-Behavior Therapy), Exposure Therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), SIT (Stress Inoculation Therapy) and Psychoeducation. In addition, natural disasters, industrial disasters, and accidents involving aircraft and ships were also categorized as disasters, along with war and combat trauma. Results : Cognitive behavior therapy and exposure therapy had the strongest research support for effectiveness, and could be considered as the first-choice treatment for disaster-related PTSD. The second line of treatment is EMDR, although this treatment modality has the advantage of reaching certain treatment improvements in fewer sessions. However, the effects of SIT and psychoeducation to the survivors of disasters, remains unclear at this point. Additionally, we propose the possibilities of using virtual reality component and imagery rescripting as modified forms of traditional cognitive behavior therapy and exposure therapy. Conclusion : Cognitive behavior therapy and exposure therapy, deemed effective treatments for various trauma, are considered to be effective for survivors from disasters. However, the efficacy of other interventions has not yet been examined methodologically in well-designed studies, such as randomized controlled trials. In particular, future empirical studies are needed, since it is difficult to conclude that psychological interventions have similar effects on different types of disasters.

  • Since natural disaster occurs increasingly and becomes complicated, it causes deaths, disappearances, and damage to property. As a result, there is a growing interest in the development of ICT-based natural disaster response technology which can minimize economic and social losses. In this letter, we introduce the main functions of the forest fire management platform by using images from an UAV. In addition, we propose a disaster image analysis technology based on the deep learning which is a key element technology for disaster detection. The proposed deep learning based disaster image analysis learns repeatedly generated images from the past, then it is possible to detect the disaster situation of forest-fire similar to a person. The validity of the proposed method is verified through the experimental performance of the proposed disaster image analysis technique.

  • The current disaster management manual is being utilized as a book or document-based type. It causes a low applicability and interoperability in practical business because each information has a different document format and it is difficult to recycle those information as common disaster information. The information reading by text type without electronic data and visual object also has a limitations in guaranteeing a quickness of disaster management business. Accordingly, the electronic document management system with visual information is necessary and the system needs to tie framed by XML schema because the electronic document standard will be changed from DTD to XML schema. This study attempts to develop a procedural methodology of an electronic document management system based on XML for disaster management. The applicability of the proposed results is verified by the simulated scenario.

  • International society has been making a lively discussion about natural disaster by climate change to mitigate natural hazard centering around intra-government association. This study dealt with a strategic mitigation and technical adaptation to support a habitual natural disaster region such as Bangladesh in terms of international cooperation for assistance to protect against the natural hazard. The land-cover on scale of one third of Bangladesh is situated lower than sea level that causes habitual flooding accident which gets increasing in the strengthen every single year. Most of people lives around exterior sea coast being faced with disaster of abnormal storm forming every three year cycle. Especially, the socio-economic status of the people in the coast is usually very low, and it need to get help from international cooperation aid. Therefor, the case study for the vulnerability of natural disaster in Bangladesh on geographical analysis is meaningful to join the international cooperation taking a part of role on technical support and education for adaptation of the natural disaster.

  • Since disaster-safety accidents cause serious damage to human life and property, preparations and responses have been critically challenged by the country and industry. Recently, the government and industry have recognized its importance and are seeking solutions to the causes of disasters in various ways. If virtual reality technology is actively used, it will be easier to prepare and train for disasters, as the social costs will be reduced. However, academic research on this has not been actively studied. In particular, it seems difficult to seek data that comprehensively analyzes or organizes disaster-safety with virtual reality contents. In this paper, we analyze the current status of domestic and overseas focused on virtual reality disaster/safety contents, examine its characteristics, and point out the direction required for advanced service in the future. To this end, the implications of the numerical data of the accident type have been derived, and the direction of development of public institutions, academic research, and industry have also been investigated. Finally, technical considerations are presented as well.

  • Recently, mountain disasters such as landslides and debris flows have flowed along mountain streams and hit residential areas and roads, increasing damage. In this study, in order to reduce damage and analyze causes of mountain disasters, field surveys and Terrestrial LiDAR terrain analysis were conducted targeting debris flow areas, and debris flow flow processes were simulated using FLO-2D and RAMM models, which are numerical models of debris flows. In addition, the debris flow deposition area was calculated and compared and analyzed with the actual occurrence section. The sedimentation area of the debris flow generation section of the LiDAR scan data was estimated to be approximately 21,336 ㎡, and was analyzed to be 20,425 ㎡ in the FLO-2D simulation and 19,275 ㎡ in the case of the RAMMS model. The constructed topographical data can be used as basic data to secure the safety of disaster risk areas.

  • This paper is a study on the self-powered wireless bus information and disaster information system based on Internet of Things (IoT). The existing bus information system supplies power and communication by cable, which causes a problem of increased installation cost and limited installation site due to cable burial. To solve this problem, a self-powered wireless bus information and disaster information system was proposed. The proposed system provides bus arrival information. Furthermore, in the event of a disaster such as a natural disaster, it can also reduce confusion and damage by notifying the disaster information through the system's speaker. In this study, a self-powered system using a solar module was proposed. As data are transmitted and received through wireless WiFi or LTE, the installation cost can be reduced and the problem of installation location restrictions can be solved.
