  • Stock pre-positioning is one of the most important decisions for preparing the stage of emergency logistics planning. In this paper, a mixed integer model for stock pre-positioning is derived to support an emergency disaster relief response against the event of earthquake. A maximum response time limit, budget availability, multiple item types, and capacity restrictions are considered. In the model, the decision of the distribution centers to cover a disaster area and the amount of supplies to be stocked in each distribution center are simultaneously determined to maximize the total expected relief demand of the disaster areas covered by the existing distribution centers. The proposed model is applied to a real case with 33 disaster areas and 16 distribution centers in Indonesia. Several sensitivity analyses are conducted to estimate the fluctuation on the emergency stock pre-positioning planning by changing the maximum response time and budgets.

  • To minimize the damage from disasters, various aspects of prevention, preparation, and response, etc. are being managed. Even though prevention and preparation are well conducted, irresistible calamities such as natural disasters may cause unexpected damage. Therefore, a system that can share the identical disaster information based on prompt disaster management and prediction must be developed and constructed for integrated disaster management. Especially, for a prompt disaster response, the same information needs to be shared between the related organization and the disaster prevention personnel such as on-site officials. Recent disaster management systems use high-capacity geographic information or other various factors for accurate disaster predictions. In case of using a recently constructed or researched 3D GIS, the system may not be used in some cases due to conflicts with hardware, etc. Thus, even though response information is secured using prediction simulation in advance, it is essentially difficult in some cases to share the common information when the system cannot be utilized or the extension of the corresponding data cannot be read. Therefore, this study aims to construct a system for dealing with disasters that shares the same prompt and accurate information in compliance with common data formats. The system is expected to reduce the existing disaster response time and minimize human and physical damage by assisting decision making through prompt responses.

  • Despite the importance of disaster management officers of disaster management agencies at the local government to protect the lives of civilians and their properties, there is a lack of research or literature in their roles and responsibilities. In fact, there is a urgent need to set clear roles and responsibilities for them. This study scrutinizes how to disaster managers should behave in specific setting that differentiates from other administrative managers based on domestic and foreign literature review. Although, the role of disaster manager seem to be similar to administrative manager, there are some differences particularly in the areas that disaster manager has to work as an expert in saving lives and properties that has to be further emphasized. When working on disaster management process of prevention and resoration, the key task are based on mid and low level officers. On the other hand, preparedness and response process that involve rapid decision making and cooperation with other department, persuasion of local residents and resource pooling are carried out by mid and high level managers because it requires control capacity and decision making skills.

  • The purpose of this study is to improve the capacity of public officials that can respond quickly and effectively in the event of food and medical products crisis. In order to improve the emergency response capacity, it must be preceded to identify what kinds of response activities and capacities are needed in case of food and medical product crisis. To this end, this study examined the definition of food and drug related crisis, and investigated and analyzed domestic and international leading researches and data about the capacity related to emergency, crisis or disaster. Based on the result of the analysis, the crisis response capacity was defined as 'the ability to quickly perform response tasks at the time of crisis', and the response tasks were identified by analysing the crisis response manuals of the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. Since identifying the response tasks clearly can be a basis for training, exercise, and evaluation, it is expected to contribute to enhance the crisis response capabilities directly and effectively.

  • In this study, a research on disaster countermeasures to strengthen the disaster management field of rural areas. The purpose of this study is to investigate the measures to cope with the disaster in order to enhance the rural disaster management capacity. For this purpose, social and environmental characteristics of the rural area were examined and the characteristics of rural disaster perspective were derived. As for social characteristics, we analyzed the direct and indirect damage of disaster through interviews with residents affected by disaster. In the case of environmental characteristics, the factors that threaten the safety in the rural area were extracted based on the geographical and geographical characteristics of the rural area and quantitative analysis of the difference of the disaster response infrastructure compared with the city was conducted. In addition, it is necessary to further study the priority of disaster prevention in order to apply the disaster prevention method to rural areas.

  • In order to strengthen the disaster prevention phase and the management of social disasters, we will examine the plan of To-Be disaster management system interconnected by using intelligent information technologies such as IoT, Cloud, Big Data, Mobile and AI. The disaster management system can be upgraded by constructing an intelligent infrastructure based on Big Data analysis of the disaster signals before and after the disasters generated by private mobile and IoT. Big Data of disaster Signals can be customized to users in a timely manner through AI methodologies of supervised and unsupervised learning and reinforcement training. In the long term, it is expected that not only will the capacity of disaster response be improved, but the management ability centering on prevention will be enhanced as well.

  • Acritical function of a nation is to protect its people's lives and properties from natural disasters such as a drought. A drought affects many aspects of human life, including social, economic, and industrial activities. Approximately 75.7% of reservoirs in Korea are over 50 years old.Sedimentation over the years may have caused a situation where storage capacity of the reservoirs is no longer sufficient and compliant with the original reservoir specifications. This study analyzes storage capacities for ten aged reservoirs using the autonomous navigation USV. It compares these capacities with sediment estimated by conventional empirical equations. Comparisons were made to the original specifications for the reservoirs.Storage capacity of six reservoirs decreased in a range between 16.2%-55.3% and storage capacity of 4 reservoirs increased in a range between 1.5%-380.2%. This data was compared to data derived from estimating sediment by empirical equations. Yoon's equation(1982) appeared more accurate than Sur's equation(1988) in Uhlinzi and Yongpo reservoirs, and Sur's equation(1988), however, appeared more accurate than Yoon's equation in Daegok, Ugok2 and Ochi reservoirs. The significant ranges of sedimentation shown in this study suggest that it is worth continuously surveying reservoirs to ensure their efficient management and operation.

  • The purpose of this study was performed to evaluate antioxidant activity of the Artemisia asiatica Nakai and Moringa oleifera Lam mixture extract. Mixture extracts were manufactured by concentration and compared with a single extract (only the Artemisia asiatica Nakai mixture and only the Moringa oleifera Lam mixture). The experiments conducted Total polyphenol measurements, Total flavonoid measurements, DPPH radical scavenging activty, ABTS radical scavenging activty and LDH assay. The LDH assay assessment shows that all extracts are cells compared to controls. The toxicity was weak. Finally, The antioxidant capacity was rated higher than mixture extract of a single extract. Also, the optimized mixture was determined AM5 (Artemisia asiatica Nakai mixture: Moringa oleifera Lam mixture = 3:1). For extracts of AM5, Total phenol and flavonoid contents were 271.769±18.087 mg/g and 45.384±5.026 mg/g. and DPPH and ABTS scavenging activity were 70.8±6.496% and 77.1±9.634%. Therefore, it is expected that the value of the extract will increase as it increases its antioxidant activity if it is manufactured according to the appropriate ratio.

  • Until now, Korea carried out disaster management under the perception that the central government or the local government bodies are totally responsible. However as the size of disasters become larger, the capacity of the public disaster management did not live up to the expectations. To analyze this issue, this research conducted interviews on disaster response readiness by "individual resident-residents cooperation-public/private collaboration" according to each preparedness-response-recovery stage, as resident representatives (Head of Ri, Head of Tong) as subjects. Based on the interviews, surveys were conducted to deduct the necessary factors needed for the general residents to exhibit disaster prevention capabilities. The surveys consist of 6 factors-risk perception, evacuation inductively, individual evacuation response, disaster prevention system, lookout & precaution, information communication.
