Recently, large-scale multi-hazards have been occurred in the various areas of the world. A variety of Earth observation sensors such as satellite EO, aerial and terrestrial LiDAR have been utilized for global natural disaster monitoring. Especially, commercial satellites which observe the Earth regularly and repeatedly, and acquire images with cm-level high spatial resolution enable its applications to extend in the fields of disaster management from advanced disaster monitoring to timely recovery. However, due to existing satellite operation systems with some limitations in almost real-time and wide regional disaster response, close international collaborations between satellite operating organizations like NASA, JAXA, KARI etc. have been required for collecting satellite images in time through a satellite platform with multi-sensors or satellite constellation. For responding domestic natural disaster such as heavy snowfall and extreme rainfall in 2011, this paper proposes a disaster management system for timely decision-making; rapid acquisition of satellite imagery, data processing, GIS analysis, and digital mapping through cooperation with NDMI in Korea and International Charter-Space and Major disasters.

Remote sensing which observes repeatedly the whole Earth and GIS-based decision-making technology have been utilized widely in disaster management such as early warning monitoring, damage investigation, emergent rescue and response, rapid recovery etc. In addition, various countermeasures of national level to collect timely satellite imagery in emergency have been considered through the operation of a satellite with onboard multiple sensors as well as the practical joint use of satellite imagery by collaboration with space agencies of the world. In order to respond heavy snowfall disaster occurred on the east coast of the Korean Peninsula in February 2011, snow-covered regions were analyzed and detected in this study through NDSI(Normalized Difference Snow Index) considering reflectance of wavelength for MODIS sensor and change detection algorithm using satellite imagery collected from International Charter. We present the application case of National Disaster Management Institute(NDMI) which supported timely decision-making through GIS spatial analysis with various spatial data and snow cover map.

The global occurrence of myriad natural disasters and incidents, catalyzed by climate change and extreme meteorological conditions, has engendered substantial human and material losses. International organizations such as the International Charter have established an enduring collaborative framework for real-time coordination to provide high-resolution satellite imagery and geospatial information. These resources are instrumental in the management of large-scale disaster scenarios and the expeditious execution of recovery operations. At the national level, the operational deployment of advanced National Earth Observation Satellites, controlled by National Geographic Information Institute, has not only catalyzed the advancement of geospatial data but has also contributed to the provisioning of damage analysis data for significant domestic and international disaster events. This special edition of the National Disaster Management Research Institute delineates the contemporary landscape of major disaster incidents in the year 2023 and elucidates the strategic blueprint of the government's national disaster safety system reform. Additionally, it encapsulates the most recent research accomplishments in the domains of artificial satellite systems, information and communication technology, and spatial information utilization, which are paramount in the institution's disaster situation management and analysis efforts. Furthermore, the publication encompasses the most recent research findings relevant to data collection, processing, and analysis pertaining to disaster cause and damage extent. These findings are especially pertinent to the institute's on-site investigation initiatives and are informed by cutting-edge technologies, including drone-based mapping and LiDAR observation, as evidenced by a case study involving the 2023 landslide damage resulting from concentrated heavy rainfall.

최근 전 세계적으로 구제역, 화산, 지진재해 등 장기적이고 광역적인 재해 재난의 심각성을 반영하는 듯 다양한 기술개발과 재난관리 적용성에 관한 연구가 전개되고 있다. 그 가운데 인공위성에 대한 가치와 활용에 대한 기대치가 높아짐에 따라 국내외로 신속한 재난대응 및 광역적 피해지역에 대한 조기분석 등에 관한 다양한 지원체계구축에 대한 연구가 심화되고 있다. 국내에서도 재해 재난에 대한 인공위성의 활용성 및 실무적 대안마련에 대한 검토가 시작되고 있으며, 특히 재해시 영상의 확보 및 분석과 의사결정지원 등 재난관리 프로세스에 대한 정부부처의 활용방안 마련에 대한 기대가 높아지고 있는 가운데 재난총괄기관인 소방방재청은 국립방재연구소에 방재영상분석팀을 신설하였다. 2010년 1월 HAITI 지진피해, 2010년 12월 삼척 산불모니터링, 2011년 1월 포항 폭설피해 등의 재해 재난 분석을 통해 의사결정지원체계를 구축하고 있다. 위성영상 분석기술은 국외기관과 비슷한 실정이나, 본질적으로는 영상촬영 및 수급문제 해소에 있다고 하겠다. 현재, 지구관측센터(KEOC) 및 한국항공우주연구원에서도 이와 같은 수급체계에 대한 문제의식을 공유하고 있다는 점은 재난관리업무 담당자로서 고무적이고 개선에 대한 희망이 밝다. 향후 본 연구를 기반으로 우리나라 재난관리업무에 있어 위성영상을 기반으로 하는 선제적이고 과학적인 재난관리기법이 개발되고 방재분야의 위성영상활용의 위상이 높게 제고 되었으면 한다. 이와 관련하여 본 논문에서는 현재 전 세계적으로 운영되고 있는 인공위성들을 대상으로, 시 공간 해상도별 분포도를 작성하여 인공위성의 특성을 살펴보았다. 특히, 한국항공우주연구원과 소방방재청에서 2010년 10월에 가입한 국제재해관리를 위한 위성영상활용 협력기구인 International Charter에서 재해 재난관련 위성영상 분석 및 현황을 조사하여 재난유형별 활용성을 검토하였다. 마지막으로 조사 분석된 내용을 토대로 위성영상을 통한 재난관리 분야에 적합한 업무 프로세스를 도출하였다. 또한, 재해발생지역에 대한 신속한 위성영상의 확보와 정량적 피해규모 파악에 따른 응급 복구지원이 가능한 대응전략에 대해서 검토하였다.

Catalyzed by the recent development of space technology, various kinds of spacecrafts were launched and utilized with purposes in many developed countries. In case of emergency such as natural disasters, proper satellite images are required in order to help to mitigate and assess the effects of disasters on human life and property. Since there are limitations for a nation to single-handedly operate a satellite and fulfill complete demands, a development need of international cooperation organization to share satellite images among the member countries has risen. In this paper, preestablished four international organizations' background, objectives, and operating system, and their principal characteristics were analyzed and compared. Especially, the paper has focused on the analysis of on-going operating procedures and its cases for International Charter, UN SPIDER's development of local supporting network to support NFP, establishment of Web-GIS by Sentinel Asia under the goal of 'Digital Asia', and the utilization of GEO that is widely applied in natural disaster fields.

After the Sewol ferry disaster, the maritime safety supervisor system was introduced to strengthen maritime safety control for coastal vessels. If any critical defect is found in vessel facilities during periodical or occasional guidance and supervision on a vessel, a maritime safety supervisor takes an administrative measure: detention of the vessel until it has been completely corrected. The detention order is one of the most powerful regulations exercised by a maritime safety supervisor. It would not be an overstatement to say that the guidance and supervision conducted by a maritime safety supervisor is very important for the safety of a vessel and protection of the maritime environment. However, the regulatory level of each Regional Office of Oceans and Fisheries toward vessels may vary with the enforcers, and an individual's intentional act or negligence might occur during the execution process. Detention of a coastal vessel by the Regional Office of Ocean and Fisheries can easily lead to delayed navigation, and a vessel owner may suffer economic loss from suspension of a charter party. Nevertheless, the Maritime Safety Act does not prescribe filing a petition for objection to the measure of detention order by a maritime safety supervisor. To overcome this problem, therefore, the objection procedure under the Maritime Safety Act has to be reformed to reclaim a right against an inappropriate detention order measure caused by an individual's intentional act or negligence through a formal objection.
