  • In this paper, we propose a pioneering concept of DPD(Disaster Prevention Design) to realize a securable society in the future. Features of danger in the future society are expected to be diverse, abrupt occurring, large scale, and complicated ways. Due to increment of dangers with their features of uncertainty, interactivity, complexity, and accumulation, human-oriented design concept naturally participates in activities to prevent our society against disasters effectively. We presented DPD is an essential design activity in order to cope with dangers expected in the future societies as well as realize securable environments. DPD is also an integrated design aids including preemptive protections, rapid preparing, recovery, and interactive cooperation. We also expect these activities of DPD is effective for generation of new values in the market, satisfaction of social needs, expansion of design industry, and a novel chance for development in the future society. Throughout this paper, we submit various aspects of DPD concepts including definition, classification, scope, necessity, strategy, influencing elements, process, and its principle. We expect these concepts will be the seed and/or basement of DPD research for the future works. For the direction of study for DPD in the future, we emphasize alarm system for preemptive protection rather than recovery strategy for the damage occurred. We also need to research about progressive prevention techniques and convergence with other areas of design. In order to transfer the concept of product design from facility-oriented mechanism to human-oriented one, we should develop new kinds of city basis facilities, public-sense design concepts referred to social weak-party, e-Learning content design preparing disasters, and virtual simulation design etc. On the other hand, we have to establish laws and regulations to force central and/or provincial governments to have these DPD strategies applying their regional properties. Modern design activities are expanding to UI(user interface) content design area overcoming the conventional design concept of product and/or service. In addition, designers are recognized as art directors or life stylists who will change the human life and create the social value. DPD can be divided into prevention design, preparedness design, response design, and recovery design. Five strategies for successful DPD are Precaution-oriented, Human-oriented, Sense-oriented, Legislation, and Environment Friendly Strategies.

  • The damages caused by landslides are increasing worldwide due to climate change. In Korea, damages from landslides occur frequently, making it necessary to develop the effective response strategies. In particular, there is a lack of countermeasures against landslides in cultural heritage areas. The purpose of this study was to spatially analyze the relationship between Buyeo-gun's cultural heritage and landslide susceptible areas in Buyeo-gun, Chungcheongnam-do, which has a long history. Nine spatial distribution models were used to evaluate the landslide susceptibility, and the ensemble method was applied to reduce the uncertainty of individual model. There were 17 cultural heritages belonging to the landslide susceptible area. As a result of calculating the area ratio of the landslide susceptible area for cultural heritages, the cultural heritages with 100% of the area included in the landslide susceptible area were "Standing statue of Maae in Hongsan Sangcheon-ri" and "Statue of King Seonjo." More than 35% of "Jeungsanseong", "Garimseong", and "Standing stone statue of Maitreya Bodhisattva in Daejosa Temple" belonged to landslide susceptible areas. In order to effectively prevent landslide damage, the application of landslide prevention measures should be prioritized according to the proportion belonging to the landslide susceptible area. Since it is very difficult to restore cultural properties once destroyed, preventive measures are required before landslide damage occurs. The approach and results of this study provide basic data and guidelines for disaster response plans to prevent landslides in Buyeo-gun.

  • As a result of rapid economic and social change, the number of large-scale builing is expected to increase. In response to the growing increase, It will be a greater demand for up-to-date for heating and cooling, illumination, communication and disaster protection system as well as a sharp rise in overall energy consumption. Gradually the living of apartment building is increasing by growing population. In basic data will be offered for the energy conservation programs, and establishing some standards for the energy consumption in future. By understanding how energy sources are actually utilized in existing apartment houses, we can develop more appropriate strategies to maximize both the efficient use of energy and its conservation.

  • This study examines the effects of the public's perception of emergency medical service (EMS) on the public health system's brand equity and the moderating effect of governance on this relationship using Keller's customer-based brand equity model. It uses four EMS functions: rescue/first-aid and transfer activities; disaster prevention, preparation, and response activities; educational activities in urgent situations; and medical treatment in emergency rooms to examine the effects of them on brand meaning of the public health system. Our findings are important for understanding the public as customers of the public health system and devising and/ or adapting healthcare policies and marketing strategies to develop brand equity and increase customers' loyalty to the public health system.

  • 전 세계적으로 태풍, 홍수 지진, 화재, 폭발 등 각종 재난으로 인해 진행 중이던 업무가 중단되는 사례가 발생해 왔다. 대규모 재난의 발생으로 인하여 공공기관의 주요 업무가 중단된다면, 물리적인 피해뿐만 아니라 국가 신뢰도의 하락과 국민에게 직·간접적으로 영향을 미치기 때문에, 재난으로 인한 핵심기능의 중단 기간을 최소화하여 기능의 연속성을 확보할 필요가 있다. 미국이나 일본과 같은 해외 선진국에서는 이미 기능연속성계획 수립 지침을 개발하여 재난으로 인한 업무 중단을 예방하고자 하고 있다. 이에 대응하여 국내에서도 기능연속성계획의 필요성을 인식하여 공공기관이 기능연속성계획을 수립하도록 「재난 및 안전관리 기본법」에서 관련법을 신설하였다. 본 연구에서는 기능연속성계획의 정의, 필요성, 해외사례를 조사하였다. 이를 기반으로 개발한 템플릿을 이용하여 경기도 A 시청을 대상으로 기능영향분석, 리스크평가, 기능연속성 전략, 기능연속성 절차를 시범 적용하여 그 결과를 제시하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 기능연속성계획을 지방자치단체에 시범 적용하여 시사점을 도출하여 향후 우리나라의 지방자치단체가 기능연속성계획을 도입하는데 기여하는 것이다.

  • Background: A contamination screening process for the local population in radiation emergencies is discussed. Materials and Methods: We present an overview of the relevant Korean governmental regulations that underpin the development of an effective response system. Moreover, case studies of foreign countries responding to mass casualties are presented, and indicate that responses should be able to handle a large demand for contamination screening of the local public as well as screening of the immediate victims of the incident. Results and Discussion: We propose operating procedures for an off-site contamination screening post operated by the local government for members of the public who have not been directly harmed in the accident. In order to devise screening categories, sorting strategies assessing contamination and exposure are discussed, as well as a psychological response system. Conclusion: This study will lead to the effective operation of contamination screening clinics if an accident occurs. Furthermore, the role of contamination screening clinics in the overall context of the radiation emergency treatment system should be clearly established.

  • A real-case incident occurred where a 9-meter-high segment of a pre-fabricated concrete separation wall unexpectedly collapsed. This collapse was triggered by improperly depositing excavated soil against the wall's back, a condition for which the wall segments were not designed to withstand lateral earth pressure, leading to a flexural failure. The event's analysis, integrating technical data and observational insights, revealed that internal forces at the time of failure significantly exceeded the wall's capacity per standard design. The Lattice Discrete Particle Model (LDPM) further replicates the collapse mechanism. Our approach involved defining various parameter sets to replicate the concrete's mechanical response, consistent with the tested compressive strength. Subsequent stages included calibrating these parameters across different scales and conducting full-scale simulations. These simulations carried out with various parameter sets, were thoroughly analyzed to identify the most representative failure mechanism. We developed an equation from this analysis that quickly correlates the parameters to the wall's load-carry capacity, aligned with the simulation. Additionally, our study examined the wall's post-peak behavior, extending up to the point of collapse. This aspect of the analysis was essential for preventing failure, providing crucial time for intervention, and potentially averting a disaster. However, the reinforced concrete residual state is far from being fully understood. While it's impractical for engineers to depend on the residual state of structural elements during the design phase, comprehending this state is essential for effective response and mitigation strategies after initial failure occurs.

  • The type I interferons (IFNs) play a vital role in activation of innate immunity in response to viral infection. Accordingly, viruses have evolved to employ various survival strategies to evade innate immune responses induced by type I IFNs. For example, hepatitis E virus (HEV) encoded papain-like cysteine protease (PCP) has been shown to inhibit IFN activation signaling by suppressing K63-linked de-ubiquitination of retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) and TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1), thus effectively inhibiting down-stream activation of IFN signaling. In the present study, we demonstrated that HEV inhibits polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly(I:C))-induced $IFN-{\beta}$ transcriptional induction. Moreover, by using reporter assay with individual HEV-encoded gene, we showed that HEV methyltransferase (MeT), a non-structural protein, significantly decreases RIG-I-induced $IFN-{\beta}$ induction and $NF-{\kappa}B$ signaling activities in a dose-dependent manner. Taken together, we report here that MeT, along with PCP, is responsible for the inhibition of RIG-I-induced activation of type I IFNs, expanding the list of HEV-encoded antagonists of the host innate immunity.

  • 우리나라는 매년 풍수해에 의한 피해가 증가하고 있으며, 대부분의 피해가 하천, 도로시설물을 중심으로 주로 일어나고 있다. 이들 피해에 따른 국가복구지원의 문제점은 매년 많은 금액의 피해 복구비가 투입되었음에도 불구하고, 개선복구 보다는 원상복구 위주의 복구비 지원으로 반복적 피해가 발생하고 있다는 사실이다. 이러한 재난의 비효율적 반복피해를 예방하기 위해서는 자연재난으로 인한 피해의 원인을 보다 정확히 진단하고 항구적인 방어대책의 마련을 위한 보다 구체적인 기준이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 최근 국내에서 발생하고 있는 풍수해에 대한 전반적인 실태조사를 통하여 피해현상의 유형별 구분과 분석을 각각의 피해에 대한 복구방법이나 대책방법으로 각각 체계적으로 다르게 분류하고 보다 선진화된 예방적 복구 개념을 도입하기 위하여 피해 유형별로 새롭게 정리하였다. 이를 통하여 피해유형에 따른 피해분류 및 피해사례를 보다 체계적으로 수립, 계획할 수 있는 유형화 도감 및 평가방법을 국내외 수많은 기 선행 개선복구 사례를 토대로 분류, 개발하였다.
