This research is designed for Disaster Mangement Information System(DMIS) which is essential to management of disaster. Management of disaster is not only social problem but also official policy. To perform the research, we examined the necessities, characteristics, and problems of DMIS, analyzed the actual conditions of DMIS in operation, and reviewed relevant documents. To investigate the actual conditions of using DMIS, we analyzed degrees of cognition, channels of cognition, ratio of application, the reason why people do not use DMIS, and the fields suitable for applications of DMIS. And, to evaluate DMIS, we performed regression analysis. In that analysis, we set utility, accessibility, quickness, compatibility, and public ownership of information as independent variabls, and we set overall estimation as dependent variable. Objectives of this research are to understand the actual conditions of DMIS in operation, to evaluate the DMIS from the viewpoint of fire officers, to reveal the problems of DMIS, and to present better ways for using DMIS from its own problems. For analysis of data, we used frequency analysis, T-test, correlation analysis, and regression analysis. From the results of the research, we advised that better application of DIMS requires Standardization and compatibility of DIMS, public ownership of information, use of IT(Information Technology) like mobile information system, management and analysis of disaster information, maintainment of personnel specialized in information part, and necessities for education and training.

The need for an effective disaster management system has grown these days to protect public safety as the number of disasters causing massive damage increases. Since disaster-induced damage can develop in various ways, rapid and accurate countermeasures must be prepared soon after disasters occur. Numerous studies have continuously developed remote sensing and GIS (Geographic Information System)-based techniques for disaster monitoring and damage analysis. This special issue presents the research results on disaster prediction and monitoring based on various remote sensors on different platforms from ground to space and disaster management using GIS techniques. The developed techniques help manage various disasters such as storms, floods, and forest fires and can be combined to achieve an integrated and effective disaster management system.

There are many institutes which manage the disaster protection resources in their system. The system of the institutes is not mutually compatible, because there is no standard framework of the classification and identification for the disaster management resources. NIMS of FEMA defines the classification and identification framework for the incident resources. All incidents management system of USA including IRIS and webEOC follows the standard resources framework. The aim of the classification and identification of the resources provides the resources list for the disaster and supports to find the resources information efficiently. In this study, we defined the classification and identification of the resources considering the compatibility with the international standard and the field requirements.

The National Emergency Management Agency of South Korea has established a Disaster Victims Psychology Support Center. The Disaster Victims Psychology Support Center can enable victims who got psychological damage from disasters to return to their daily lives through healing activity, field visits and advice of experts. The previous Psychology Support Center System managed the information of disaster victims through an independent database. However, this paper proposes a system that is developed to identify medical institutions and mental health centers within a distance of radius, based on the potential Hot-Spot areas of disaster victims using the GIS Systems. The proposed system can efficiently support selection of appropriate institutions for disaster victims using their location and age, classification of damage, and damaged parts of the body. Also, this spatial analysis can assist to decide on a policy based on the location of disaster victims and the extent of damage. Therefore, this paper can provide the required information to support decision making based on the concentrated areas for disaster victims.

We developed the automatic ground deformation monitoring system using Sentinel-1 satellites which is operating by European Space Agency (ESA) for the Korea Peninsula's ground disaster monitoring. Ground deformation occurring over a long-term period are difficult to monitoring because it occurred in a wide area and required a large amount of satellite data for analysis. With the development of satellites, the methods to regularly observe large areas has been developed. These accumulated satellite data are used for time series ground displacement analysis. The National Disaster Management Research Institute (NDMI) established an automation system for all processes ranging from acquiring satellite observation data to analyzing ground displacement and expressing them. Based on the system developed in this research, ground displacement data on the Korean Peninsula can be updated periodically. In the future, more diverse ground displacement information could be provided if automated small regional analysis systems, multi-channel analysis method, and 3D analysis system techniques are developed with the existing system.

There are limitations to the manager's investigation of all damage sites and establishment of management plan in terms of manpower and cost. Community mapping can be used to overcome these problems with the information. However, it is difficult to make decisions when multiple information are registered in multiple areas of damage. Because community mapping information are registered only with pictures and simple contents, it is so difficult for the manager to clearly understand the site situation. This study suggests a methodology to support decision-making processes during disaster management through system integration between the community mapping and the drone mapping. By applying the proposed method, decision makers can make a timely judgment effectively on the damage situation. It is expected that the proposed method will save time, manpower, and cost in the recovery phase.
