This study aims to suggest a classification system for integrated management and shared use of disaster and safety information, which is currently produced and managed separately in disaster-related organizations. The study conducted a survey with organizations in charge of disaster management to analyze existing disaster-related classification systems and developed the first draft of the classification system. Later, in-depth interviews were conducted with disaster experts and a review was made by library and information science professors for the final touch. As a facet classification system consisting of 7 facets, it will be effective in supporting disaster management tasks as well as representing the complex nature of disaster and safety information.

In the current situation where systematic and active disaster management is becoming more important, domestic libraries do not have their own disaster management plans or support systems. In order to improve these problems, this study looked at overseas cases. Among them, we looked at Japan, where related cases and research are actively underway due to its exposure to various geopolitical disasters. In particular, we focused on cases of public-private cooperation established after the Great East Japan Earthquake. Association's Library Disaster Response Committee and saveMALK, a voluntary network of experts. The Library Disaster Response Committee played a central role in organizing donations and volunteer activities, and saveMALK played a role in collecting and sharing information by forming a collective intelligence among relevant experts. This analysis of the Japanese case has positive implications for building collaborative disaster management system.

Recently, there have been a number of news reports on natural disasters, like earthquakes. typhoons, floods and tsunami, all over the world. Korea does not seem to be safe from such disasters or terror threats. As places with high numbers of visitors. libraries need to take preventive measures to be prepared for such disasters and threats. This paper analyzes the current status of emergency measures adopted by 75 public libraries in Seoul. Daejeon and Jeonbuk in Korea. For each library surveyed. the causes of and ways to recover from disasters were reviewed and detailed analyses were carried out in low areas: Implementation of preventive measures disaster management and equipment, status of human resources and assignment of people to disaster recovery, safety courses offered to library users and training methods. In addition, each area was analyzed in regard to possible solutions and ideas for improvement, as well as suggestions to upgrade disaster recovery systems in the future.

This study aims to propose requirements for developing an integrated classification system for disaster and safety information by analyzing classifications currently used in disaster and safety-related organizations in Korea. To do that, this study first analyzed existing disaster category classifications. Then, it collected classifications currently used in disaster and safety-related organizations, and through interviews with practitioners, analyzed considerations to manage disaster and safety information comprehensively. The analysis shows that to develop a disaster category classification, consistency, exhaustivity, systemicity, and disasters frequently occurring in Korea should be considered. In addition, this study suggests a facet classification system for disaster and safety information given the intricacy of disaster and safety management and the occurrence of compound disasters.

In the third comprehensive library development plan, the formal and informal social safety space function of the library is used as a project. Therefore, this study investigated whether libraries were designated as evacuation facilities and related service status, and librarians' awareness, perception and attitude toward disaster and disaster response services. Based on this, it was intended to propose a direction to activate disaster and disaster response services. The research results are as follows. First, it is necessary to improve the perception of librarians who are the service providers. Second, discussions on spatial aspects, such as temporary or permanent, are needed. Third, development of disaster and disaster-related service models is required. Fourth, the administration's support and management are essential for the effectiveness of the library's function as a social safety space. Fifth, when developing guidelines for the role of libraries as social shelters and related services, specific details to address the concerns of individual libraries and librarians need to be specified.

In order for preemptive response and prevention against disasters, it is necessary to systematically collect, preserve, manage, and utilize the information resources of records related with disaster safety. Therefore, this study analyzed the types and status of text-based document archives among the records information resources which were published and produced by the disaster safety-related institutions via online. Detail types analysis of disasters in document archives also was conducted. Based on filed interviews, the actual users' requirements for the disaster safety information archives are converged. The ultimate goal of this study is to establish a basis for building of disaster safety information archives by deriving improved management strategies of disaster safety records resources.

The study, on the one hand, reflects the recent social interest in crisis management including user safety and library disaster preparation, and, on the other hand, presents a detailed safety management manual that is a reference for library work sites concerning accidents that may occur in public libraries. The proposed safety management manual consists of safety management elements for the four areas of 'safety management planning', 'safety management for each crisis type', 'information resource restoration', and 'safety management checklist', as well as their detailed sub-categories. This allows each public library site to use the manual to establish safety management plans according to their situation and educate their employees.

Disasters have been diversifying and the scale of disaster has been increasing worldwide due to the global warming and urbanization. Consequently, it is essential to establish the systematic disaster management because the scale of damages has been rapidly increasing. Nowadays, the importance of the standardized disaster management have been realized internationally due to the 9.11 terror and Tsunami. Also, the activities of research and development to utilize and establish the disaster management standards have been increasing. This study mainly focused on generating an efficient operating manual to support the systematic disaster management of the central administration office based on disaster management standard in South Korea. Firstly, the activities and status of disaster management performed by the central administration office were investigated. Accordingly, libraries of work, functions, organizations, references and behavior for disaster management were designed. Then, a method to make the efficient operation manual based on the constructed libraries was presented to maximize the efficiency of disaster management. This emergency operation manual could support the systematic disaster management by defining the work, function, references and the codes of conduct. Thus, central administration office would be able to define methods and procedures from preparation to recovery through the utilization of the operation manual.

This study aims to propose disaster safety information service model based on LOD for effective management and dissemination of the information. To achieve the aim of this study, current state of disaster safety information was analyzed through online search and face-to-face interviews, and then the information was divided into 6 types. Finally, this study proposed specific process of building disaster safety information LOD service with considerations reflecting the information characteristics. The process for building LOD was based on Guidelines for Building Linked Data written by National Information Society Agency. Especially, ontology concept model was defined by using standard lexical resources and modeling tools based on 6 types of disaster safety information, and classes and properties were proposed. The results of this study will make disaster safety information more useful for common people.

The need for and importance of preserving various information resources on the web is constantly increasing. In addition to traditional types of records, the web contains communication records displaying various people's diverse viewpoints and connecting an event to its context. In particular, information resources produced during a disaster must be collected for long-term preservation. The "OASIS Disaster Archive" is a service provided through OASIS, which was developed and is managed by the National Library of Korea, to collect and preserve online information resources related to the recent disaster events in Korea. This study examines the characteristics and current status of the contents of the Disaster Archive to make suggestions for its improvements.
