  • Across the world, the industrialization has increased the frequency of climate anomaly. The size of damage due to recent natural disasters is growing large and fast, and the human damage and economic loss due to disasters are consistently increasing. Urbanization has a structure vulnerable to natural disasters. Therefore, in order to reduce damage from natural disasters, both hardware and software approaches should be utilized. Currently, however, the development of a statistical access process for 'analysis of disaster occurrence factor' and 'prediction of damage costs' for disaster prevention and overall disaster management is inadequate. In case of local governments, overall disaster management system is not established, or even if it is established, unscientific classification system and management lead to low utility of natural statistics of disaster year book. Therefore, in order to minimize disaster damage and for rational disaster management, the disaster damage survey process should be improved. This study selected gale as the focused analysis target among natural disasters recorded in disaster year book such as storm, torrential rain, gale, high seas, and heavy snow, and analyzed disaster survey process. Based on disaster year book, the gale damage size was analyzed and the issues occurring from the correlation of gale and damage amount were examined, so as to suggest an improvement plan for reliable natural disaster information collection and systematic natural disaster damage survey.

  • The rapid response of disaster accidents can be archived through the organical involvement of various disaster and safety control agencies. To define the terminology of disaster safety is essential for communication between disaster safety agencies and well as announcement for the public. Also, to efficiently construct a word dictionary of disaster safety terminology, it's necessary to define the priority of the terms. In order to establish direction of word dictionary construction, this paper compares the usage of disaster safety terminology by media: word dictionary, new media, and social media, respectively. Based on the terminology resources collected from each media, we visualized the distribution of terminology according to frequency weights and analyzed co-occurrence patterns. We also classified the types of terminology into four categories and proposed the priority in the construction of disaster safety word dictionary.

  • This study demonstrates a basic concept and designing direction for the realisation of disaster prevention planning in u-City(u-BangjaeCity) that is from establishing a planning system in terms of the areas of professional disaster and safety management for the national disaster management. and designing disaster or safety management system via using ubiquitous technology for the scientific disaster management. In order to realise u-City it is necessary to maps out interrelation amongst various services such as traffic, environment and disaster prevention. Domestic and international case studies regarding the tendency of disaster prevention planing in u-City and its analysis could be the fundamental resource in order to develop the standard model of u-BangjaeCity.

  • The purpose of this study was to test the effects of video-based fire safety education among college students on the students' fire safety knowledge and disaster safety awareness and competency. Improvements were found in fire safety knowledge (t = -3.24, p = 0.001), social disaster awareness (t = -2.25, p = 0.025), basic disaster awareness (t = -2.44, p = 0.015), and disaster safety capacity (t = -2.04, p = 0.043). The contents of safety-education materials should be continuously developed. Those materials should be provided to many people, and future research should test the longer-term effects of those educational interventions.

  • Large-scale and complex disasters have frequently occurred all over the world recently, and they are repeated every year. Accordingly, the need for the systematic management and utilization of raw-data and processing information in the past has increased. For this purpose, this study proposed a construction strategy for disaster and safety record information resources archives based on automatic acquisition, which can be used as a hub for disaster and safety information. Based on local and foreign case studies, several consideration factors for building the archives are determined. Finally, this study proposed four steps for constructing the archives. These are as follows: 1) complete enumeration survey of the disaster and safety record information resources, 2) automatic acquisition possibility study, 3) selection of the resources for preservation, and 4) automatic acquisition of metadata. The construction of the archives proposed in this study will facilitate integrated management, sharing, and use of scattered information resources on disaster and safety.

  • This study is to suggest legislation and criteria for public service drones for disaster safety in order to enhance the research and development of the drones by helping setting right direction of the R&D. Many foreign governments are now conducting research and development on using drones as public service for disaster safety. Although there are also some efforts to using drones for public service in Korea, domestic laws and performance criteria for the drones for the purpose have not prepared yet. To set a right direction of the R&D, the laws and criteria shall be legislated and established immediately and then we can enhance the efforts to develop related technology for the drone. So this study proposed a performance criteria to fit various circumstances and situations by analyzing the aviation law in overseas. We hope this study can help R&D on the public service drones for disaster safety.

  • This study is to provide the implementation plan for standard code to efficiently manage curriculum information in disaster and safety education programs across domestic and foreign institutions, and to encourage active information sharing. Projects regarding disaster safety education have been progressed and developed since the opening of NDMI on March 2006. Efficient management and systematic operation for the existing disaster safety education contents are also required. It is essential for both domestic and foreign disaster management organizations to share and utilize their educational contents each other prior to the effect of the Framework Act on the Management of Disaster and Safety starting from February 7th, 2014. As disaster gets more complex and diverse in its types and sizes, the share of information on advanced disaster and safety education system between each countries is becoming more necessary than they ever did before. Therefore, the standard code of disaster safety education curriculum is resulted based on the flexibility that accommodates the change of education environment and extended applications in both domestic and foreign education institutions. The effective application of standard code will be a possible way to improve the disaster safety education system and help to set its correct definition.

  • Report documents of industrial and occupational accidents have continuously been accumulated in private and public institutes. Amongst others, information on narrative-texts of accidents such as accident processes and risk factors contained in disaster report documents is gaining the useful value for accident analysis. Despite this increasingly potential value of analysis of text information, scientific and algorithmic text analytics for safety management has not been carried out yet. Thus, this study aims to develop data processing and visualization techniques that provide a systematic and structural view of text information contained in a disaster report document so that safety managers can effectively analyze accident risk factors. To this end, the risk factor map using text mining and self-organizing map is developed. Text mining is firstly used to extract risk keywords from disaster report documents and then, the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) algorithm is conducted to visualize the risk factor map based on the similarity of disaster report documents. As a result, it is expected that fruitful text information buried in a myriad of disaster report documents is analyzed, providing risk factors to safety managers.
