Database construction of basic elements for displaying CCTV informations(the location, direction, distance, maximum distance, Tele mode angle view, Wide mode angle view, etc.) is conducted by complete survey about CCTV information in model area. Automatic mapping algorithm is suggested to schematize and visualize it on the basic of the investigated CCTV informations. In the result, the CCTV locations in partial areas are duplicated on about 11 percents. Duplicated ones among twelve CCTVs are total five. If the redesign of CCTV location and direction by displaying the CCTV informations based on the suggested algorithm is performed, it can be used as scientific explanations.

This paper describes the design and trial development of a system that supports continuous hazard mapping by local residents in their daily life. We performed an interview survey to design our system in a model traditional town in Saga Prefecture, Japan. The results show that despite continued efforts, many practical problems remain and residents feel unsafe. Considering these results, we designed and developed a unique information and communication technology-based support system that contributes to community-based disaster prevention and reduction. The continuous resident participation and posting design are the core concept for our community-based approach. Our system continues to support making a hazard map by integrating the community-based hazard information. Local residents register information (disaster types, risk level, photographs, comments, positional information) about locations that could be dangerous in a disaster. In addition, our system enables information sharing through a Web server. We expect that this information sharing will allow local hazard information for each district to be used.

The school space is a place for learning activities and community activities, and it is used as a shelter for various disasters. Recently, the frequency and magnitude of damages of school facilities due to various disasters are increasing, and similar accidents occur repeatedly every year, causing enormous damage to school classes. Furthermore, damage to school facilities will require considerable time and safety confirmation measures to restore disaster and normalize the class. In this regards, based on the questionnaire survey on the difficulties and improvement measures of the disaster recovery work of the school safety manager, we propose the application of in-kind compensation for damage to school facilities to ensure rapid disaster recovery, simplification of administrative procedures, and quality of restoration work.

In this study, We conducted a survey for improvement about disaster in multiple casualties. Results, It was checked out many problems that Triage is inconvenience in using and damaging. And it was turned out that firefighting resources are not being put efficiently in the right place. Therefore, We are proposed that expansion of education and training opportunities, Location system of emergency activity resource in using App, Cope with a multiple casualties in using QR Code.

Many first aiders suffer from the stress of working in uncertain disaster sites. The stress of responding to disasters leads to an increase in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and a decrease in psychological well-being. It also has many negative effects on the meaning in life for first aiders. Reduced meaning in life will result in many societal opportunity costs due to decreased health and work engagement. To address this issue, this study conducted a survey to analyze the level of meaning in life of first aiders. The results indicated that the overall level of meaning in life of first aiders is very low. This issue needs to be addressed sooner rather than later, given the increasing trend of emergency response. Based on the results of the study, measures were proposed to reduce PTSD and psychological stability by restoring the meaningfulness of first aiders' lives.

This thesis is an attempt to find out ways and means needed to improve the disaster management system in Korea(Chap. Ⅰ). For this purpose, I have first reviewed various crisis management systems of foreign countries such as the United States, England and Japan(Chap. Ⅱ), and also reviewed that of our own country(Chap. Ⅲ). All of us knows that our disaster management system has been reestablished through the enactment of the Disaster Management Act of 1995 and the full revision of Natural Harzards Management Act of 1995 after a series of catastrophic man-made disasters since 1993. I took a general survey of the contents and characteristics of the newly made Disaster Management Act(Chap. Ⅳ), and Finally, as a conclusion of this research(Chap. V), I indicated a few disputed points on the Disaster Management Act and suggested several alternatives to improve our crisis management system. The alternatives suggested are as follows (1) Reinforcement of prevention-centered policy and expansion of investment (2) Specialization of the crisis management man-power and securing the rescue equipment (3) Arrangement of the various lessons on crisis and reinforcement of educational training against the disasters (4) Building the cooperative systems between the civil organizations (5) An opinion towards the issues on the unifying the law systems and reorganizaing the new independent institution for the crisis management

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the Path modeling effect among depression, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders (PTSD), resilience, and social support on the quality of life (QoL) of natural disaster victims. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with 1,979 disaster victims' cases by using the 4th Disaster victims panel survey in Korea. Data were collected from october 2018 to december 2018 and analyzed using regression analysis and path way analysis. Results: Perceived health, depression, social support, PTSD, resilience, and QoL showed significant correlations. PTSD was directly affected by depression and QoL was affected by PTSD. Social support was directly affected by depression and resilience was also directly affected by depression. QoL was affected by social support and resilience. Conclusion: This analysis highlighted that the relation between lower depression and QoL was mediated by greater social support and resilience and lower degree of PTSD. These results suggest that community health interventions and education that incorporate social support and resilience may improve the quality of life of natural disaster victims.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to understand currently active Korean paramedics' disaster response abilities, including immediate response, severity classification, patient treatment, and patient transfer, in a disaster situation with multiple casualties. Methods: A structured questionnaire consisting of a total of 25 questions was used, including 5 questions on the subject's general characteristics and 20 questions on disaster-related emergency response abilities. Results: Among the disaster response abilities of the participants, the patient transport ability scores were high and the cooperative support ability scores were low. In terms of general characteristics, there was a significant difference in age, and it was high in the 40s, and there was a significant positive correlation between each competency. Conclusion: These results suggest that there is an urgent need to develop a systematic and specialized educational system with components inside and outside fire departments related to multiple casualty disasters to improve overall abilities.

The case study on ground subsidence was conducted and the cause of ground subsidence was evaluated, main cause were insufficient site exploration, inaccurate strength parameters, defective temporary wall, insufficient reaction for boiling and heaving, excessive excavation and so on. Risk factors during excavation were identified from the cause of ground subsidence and risk factors were site exploration, selecting excavation method, structure analysis, measurement plan, excavation method construction, underground water level change, natural disaster and construction management. The survey of the experts on risk factors identified was conducted to evaluate the importance of risk factors, and confidence analysis was performed to evaluate the significance level between survey result and survey respondent using Chi-square Test.
