The aim of this study is to analyze the causes of the network system of the public and private sections that cannot be cooperated in implementation process of disaster relief. For this objective, this study selects the concepts of policy actors, their relationships, and their interactions which are useful in analyzing policy networks. It focuses on the interaction among concerned actors of disaster relief policy. This study suggests how to improve policy networks of disaster relief focusing on the interaction among policy actors. For more effective implementation to disaster relief, however, it is necessary to strengthen public-private partnership rather than central management system. Therefore, future research on disaster relief needs to focus in network management for leading cooperation between public and private sections.

Through two case studies on the United States and Japan, this research aims to identify the characteristics of disaster management research and thereby provides policy implications for Korea. This paper analyzed government-funded disaster management R&D for each country: the National Science Foundation awarded projects from 2005 to 2015 for the United States, and Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research from 2011 to 2015 managed by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science for Japan. As a result, four following implications were drawn. 1) pursuit of R&SD(Research & Solution Development) instead of R&D, 2) shift from prevention to life-cycle management, 3) necessity of multidisciplinary research, and 4) emphasis on post-disaster investigation.

Recently, natural disasters happened to the Korea frequently. Disaster in the present society has been changed and increased it impacts and extent of danger as the society develops. So, Korean people feel uneasy about the unpredictable disaster. Therefore the capability of administration system, and cooperation and support between related organization become more necessary. This study aims to find out better ways of disaster management system which can protect people's lives and fortune from all sort of national disasters. To research policy reform, it is necessary to analyze disaster response organization(national disaster prevention countermeasures headquarters and so on), interorganizational relationship, law system etc. Especially, in this study, role appreciation of government was analyzed to get the rational policy reform measure. Suggestion : First, it is necessary Establishing a consolidated organization for disaster managing and united response organization is necessary such as Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA) which controls an over all aspects of disaster management. And it is necessary to develop Integrated Administrative Control System based on comprehensive plan. When the accidents happen, it needs to be many equipments and various specialized personnel. So, to manage a large scale of disaster, it is necessary to have interorganizational network system which many specialized organization including volunteer group are integrated. Also, as soon as the natural disaster happen, many professionals and volunteers are distributed to the spots of disaster in the right man in the right place. Finally, All the citizens have to keep safety rules, and also to take a safe action in ordinary daily life.

In the case of a disaster, the damage caused by the disability vulnerability of persons with disabilities is significantly increased, discussing about a problem for the protection of the vulnerable class. However, until now policy, technology and response guidelines for disaster and safety have been focused on the general public. Therefore, it is necessary to develop customized support technology for disaster and safety considering vulnerable characteristics of vulnerable class. Firstly, it is necessary to prepare draft improvement proposal of act and support system related disaster and safety for persons with disabilities and older persons. So, this study was carried out analysis of act, policy and support system on disaster and safety for persons with disabilities and older persons of domestic and overseas in order to draw implication. Furthermore, we established direction for improvement of act and policy on disaster and safety for persons with disabilities based on the analysis, and suggested draft improvement proposal.

In addition to the proliferation of intelligent information technology, the field of disaster management is being approached from a multifaceted perspective. In particular, as the interest in establishing a disaster safety management system using data increases, there is an increasing need for a large amount of big data distribution generated in real time and a systematic management. Furthermore, efforts are being made to improve the quality of data in order to increase the prevention effect of disasters through data analysis and to make a system that can respond effectively and to predict the overall situation caused by the disasters. Disaster management should seek both precautionary measures and quick responses in the event of a disaster as well as a technical approach to establishing governance and safety. This study explores the policy implications of the significance and structure of disaster safety management governance using data.

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.

The possibility of a super-large disaster is increasing due to changes in national territory, urban space and social environment, extreme weather conditions due to climate change, and paralysis of national infrastructure due to natural disasters. In this study, in order to support the systematic establishment of national territorial disaster prevention strategies for future disasters, alternatives to intelligent national territorial disaster prevention policies for future disasters were considered. Changes in the national environment related to future disasters, domestic and foreign prior studies and policy trends related to national disaster prevention, and studies related to the national disaster management system were investigated, and institutional and technical policy alternatives were derived. As a policy alternative, it was suggested that the creation of a self-adapting national territory for future disasters should be systematized and continuously supported through a technically intelligent decision-making support system.

To enhance the quality of disaster management service, the paradigm shift is necessary from the supplier-centered approach to demander-centered approach. In this paper, demander means all the policy actors that participate in the field of disaster such as central & local governments, emergency rescue systems, civil volunteer groups as well as the disaster victims. In this study, we analyze the current problems of disaster management service in demanders' point of view through in-depth interviews and then address suggestions based on each entity's recognitions and understandings related. The results are as follows: 1) Lack of systemicity in the current disaster management service. 2) The mutual distrust and understanding among the policy actors participating in the disaster site. 3) In the field of disaster, not only the disaster victims but also people related to entities are deprived of a stable living due to a long period of rescue activities. Furthermore, the conflicts derived from allocations of the aid fund can bring about the collapse of local community involved in disaster. 4) The life of the disaster victims that have been damaged mentally and financially is earnestly necessary to be conveniently served by disaster management service.
