  • Recently, as the extreme drought continued due to the reckless development and the dramatical climate change, national concern about the water management issues has been increased rapidly around the world, especially in Korea. Meanwhile, it is necessary to analyze and review the related cases in Australia, where they have developed the consistently, eco-friendly and systematically management from the national level, which is similar to that of Korea in difficult circumstances. Australia has been suffered by repeated droughts and floods due to low rainfall and dryness, and water disputes were begun with immigrant settlement in the 1890s. In the early days, water management agreements for efficient distribution of water resources, water use regulation programs, and federal water laws were enacted, and now the established water management system in which development and conservation are assumed to be well balanced. In Korea, however, in the past, the Ministry of Environment was responsible for water quality issues while the quantity was managed by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and the main local departments for water management were divided. Therefore, it was difficult to manage the integrated water management due to problems such as duplicated works, excessive investments, and inefficiency. To resolve this situation, in 2018, all water management functions were unified, such as enacting the fundamental water-related laws, thereby laying the foundation for the integrated water management system for each basin. From 2019, even the integrated water management system was implemented, we are promoting the effect of sustainable water resource management. In order to establish a management policy for efficient and eco-friendly water management, the IWRM (Integrated Water Resource Management) of Australia, which has been devised in various ways, was analyzed and compared with the present situations and cases occurred in Korea, and the implications from this study would be suggested the future of IWRM in Korea.

  • Purpose: The Ministry of Employment and Labor has been working hard to ensure the safety of workers due to heavy rain during natural disasters as the responsible ministry in charge of preventing industrial accidents and health problems for workers. Accordingly, the Ministry of Employment and Labor intends to analyze actual cases of responding to heavy rain disasters and suggest ways to improve the response system. Method: An emergency response system implemented to respond to heavy rain disasters with an internal expert group composed of those in charge of disaster work at headquarters, local government offices, and Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency, and an external expert group composed of professors, consulting representatives, and disaster managers from other ministries. Contents on self-inspection by industry, workplace inspection, use of serious siren, safety management and restoration work guidance were reviewed. Result: First of all, it is necessary to check the regular contact system from time to time, and it is also necessary to prepare and distribute detailed self-checklists for each industry. In addition, it is necessary to check the implementation of self-inspection when inspecting workplaces, and it seems necessary to have measures to increase the readability of information notified through serious disaster sirens. In addition, since safety work is done in the form of a contract, it seems necessary to prepare specific safety guidelines. Conclusion: In order to protect the lives of workers due to seasonal harm and risk factors, unlike the passive coping methods of the past, abnormal weather should not be regarded as an unexpected situation, and it should be actively and preemptively responding beyond the conventional framework.

  • The Enforcement Decree of the Framework Act on the Management of Disasters and Safety Article 3-2 specifies two 'disaster management supervision agencies' for responding to shipping disasters. These are the Korea Coast Guard, which is an on-scene disaster-responding and coordinating agency, and the Ministry of Ocean and Fisheries, which is a government department, thereby leading to possibilities for confusion. In the case of shipping disasters, where a personnel entitled full power to deal with shipping disasters is designated and his/her powers and duties are clearly made, relationship of leading and supporting agencies is made clear, and command system is simplified, an efficient response to shipping disasters is made possible. In the management of shipping disasters, all the disaster management processes, that is, prevention-preparedness-response-recovery, should be dealt with systematically and consistently. Notably, to swiftly and efficiently cope with a disastrous situation, the decision-making and command system must be simplified. The establishment of a command system and decision-making must be made independently, based on expertise. In the US, irrespective of the type of disasters, the FEMA plays a leading role and the USCG responds a response to maritime disasters by establishing the Incident Command System or Unified Command System that is an incident management system. In the UK, the MCA supervises an event and responds to it, and the SOSREP has full power to work with command and coordination independently. SOSREP, among others, is necessary to prevent an inefficient dealing of a shipping disaster owing to confrontation between participants. With reference to such leading States' practice, the Korean government should make a standardized and simplified response to maritime disasters. This study deals with a new maritime disaster responding system and provides an idea of the revision of the existing legal regime.

  • Fire is a disaster that causes irreversible damage to many people due to personal injury and property damage. Various fire detection equipments are installed around us to detect and cope with it quickly. However, due to various problems such as artificial, environmental, and aging, fire detection equipment is activated even though it is not a actual fire, and there are many problems such as delaying the support to the necessary fire scene. In this paper, we analyze the non-fire alarm of the fire detection equipment and propose a system that enables the field staff to check the scene situation through the video as a way to prevent the mobilization due to the misinformation by checking the fire. The purpose of the present invention is to stably cope with a disaster by suggesting a customized automatic guidance system which induces a rapid evacuation by sending an evacuation guidance notification to a range of a fire occurrence neighboring area, and supports a rapid and accurate processing by a rapid dispatch of a firefighter, rather than a wide range of guidance such as an existing emergency disaster guidance letter when it is determined to be an actual fire through the confirmation procedure.

  • Recently, damage caused by natural disasters such as fire, earthquake, heavy rains and heavy snow is increasing. In addition, traffic accidents due to freezing, fog and fire in tunnels and bridges are frequently occurring. In such a disaster situation, it is very important to take prompt action by the person in charge of managing the facility and area.To this end, a disaster broadcasting system is used, but in the existing system, the broadcasting room and the speaker are connected by a wired connection. Also, the person in charge has to be in the broadcasting room to broadcast, which has a problem of delaying the time. In this paper, we design a disaster broadcasting system using LTE modem. The designed system enables a broadcasting person to make a call to a broadcasting system from anywhere using a cellular phone and a public telephone. Broadcasting via telephone is possible only with the telephone number pre-registered in the system and can be registered / deleted by the administrator. The registered telephone number, incoming voice file, and announcement voice for automatic broadcasting are stored in the system internal SD memory for convenient management. This disaster broadcasting system is expected to contribute to quick and convenient disaster broadcasting.

  • Lately accidents of harmful chemical substance in korea were repeatedly replaying. We studied problems and preparation plan in 2008 years~2014 years through analysis cases of harmful chemical substance. Leakage of chemical substance's accident situation shows that leakage in the workplace is the most 10 cases, accounting for 58.6% is the largest proportion in 2009. Leakage according to explosion accounting for 50% (5 cases) in 2004, 25% (4 cases) in 2007 and 33.3% (4 cases) in 2011 has very irregular change. Therefore, A major cause of accidents is lack of safety management. Harmful chemical substance showed various aspects, high residual substance and non-visible characteristic so response and recovery was easy. And the second damage to move a distance causes environment pollution. So a mutual-assistance system and integrated system of related organization have to build and expert of chemical incident response and therapist of chemical substance response have to establish to do efficient and rapid response.

  • As digital twin technology is applied to various industrial fields, technologies to effectively process large amounts of data are required. In this paper, we discuss a customized service method for fast search and effective delivery of large-scale data for underground facility for public utilities management. The proposed schemes are divided into two ways: a fast search data generation method and a customized information service segmentation method to efficiently search and abbreviate vast amounts of data. In the high-speed search data generation, we discuss the configuration of the synchronization process for the time series analysis of the sensors collected in the underground facility and the additional information method according to the data reduction. In the user-customized service method, we define the types of users in normal and disaster situations, and discuss how to service them accordingly. Through this study, it is expected to be able to develop a systematic data generation and service model for the management of underground utilities that can effectively search and receive large-scale data in a disaster situation.
