  • In early 2011, the Fukushima nuclear power plant had greater damage due to earthquake in Japan, and the awareness of safety has increased. In particular, special response systems should be required to handle disaster situations in plant sites which are likely to occur for large disasters. In this study, a program is designed to set up optimum escape routes, by a smart phone application, when a disaster situation occurs. This program could get information of the cumulative damage from sensors and display the escape route of the smallest damage in real-time on the screen. Utilizing our application in real-time evacuation has advantage in reducing cumulative damage. The optimal evacuation route, focusing on horizontal path, is calculated based on getting the data of fire, detected radioactivity and hazardous gas. Thus, using our application provides information of optimal evacuation to people who even can not hear sensor alarms or do not know geography, without requiring additional costs except fixed sensors or server network deployment cost. As a result, being informed of real-time escape route, the user could behave rapidly with suitable response to individual situation resulting in improved evacuation than simply reacting to existing warning alarms.

  • Purpose: This study collects basic data on the awareness of evacuation methods and evacuation facilities in the event of a radiological disaster of residents living in the emergency planning zone. Method: The residents of emergency planning zone were sampled using a random sampling method. A 1:1 interview was conducted using a structured questionnaire, and statistical analysis was performed using the minitab program. Result: First, the survey subjects showed a relatively low and negative awareness of the local government's work on radioactive disasters. Second, in terms of resident safety education, they had little experience in education, but they felt it was necessary and wanted education on evacuation methods, action tips, and the location of relief centers. Third, the location of the relief centers related to radioactive disasters was not well known, and there were many responses that they did not receive any guidance, and that they would be with their families when using the relief centers. Satisfaction levels were generally low with regard to the relief facilities. Fourth, the necessary priorities in preparation for radioactive disasters were education and training for radioactive disasters, facility supplementation, and supply of protective chemicals. Conclusion: The residents of emergency planning zone perceived the policies and tasks of the government or local governments relatively negatively in preparation for the occurrence of radioactive disasters, and their satisfaction was low. Regarding the matters pointed out as a priority, the government and local governments should publicize and educate the residents of accurate information and policies on radioactive disasters.

  • This study suggests a solution regarding the effects of apartment facility maintenance and fire safety facility maintenance on the residential satisfaction of residents. The results are as follows. Firstly, facility maintenance had a negative effect on residential satisfaction. Analysis revealed that residential satisfaction decreased the more breakdowns there were in the facilities. This revealed that when maintenance staff neglect the residents' complaints due to the repetitive aspect of their jobs, there was a negative effect on residential satisfaction; therefore, residential satisfaction must be increased by maintaining the facilities well and training support for maintenance staff. Secondly, fire safety facilities had a negative effect on residential satisfaction. Analysis revealed that residential satisfaction decreased the more malfunctions there were in the fire safety facilities and the more replacements there were in fire fighting equipment. This revealed the importance of safety and the fact that the apartment heavily relies on fire safety facilities because there may be a low awareness regarding safety; therefore, maintenance staff must lower the damage from fire safety facilities and to increase the residential satisafaction of residents. Lastly, there needs to be repetitive training and education for residents regarding fire fighting and evacuating in accordance with the fire fighting plan as a means to strengthen residents' safety awareness.

  • Firefighters (who are responsible for people's safety) have one of the jobs that are expected to have problems due to aging in the workforce. An increase in the average age of firefighters can lead to serious social problems. The aim of this study is to survey firefighters in Jeollanam-do about their awareness of aging in firefighters, and to propose a plan to prepare them for aging through investigation and analysis of work problems that may occur due to an aging workforce. The survey shows that the higher the age group, the higher the awareness of aging firefighters, and the higher the total work experience and internal/external work experience, the higher the awareness of aging. As a plan to solve various problems that may arise from aging in firefighters, regular operation of physical fitness promotion programs, field work, job rotation, and managerial measures (such as a change of position to an administrative department) are prepared, and drone or robot technology is used. These solutions include the introduction of applied high-tech technologies to firefighting activities, establishment of retirement management policies, and preparation of plans to revitalize the connection to private employment. In order to maximize the applicability of the field, government institutional plans and preparations are essential.

  • The study is intended to examine awareness of safety as a differentiated service strategy and t to induce offer of more competitive services to the internal and external consumers in service industry of the South Korea. In the pursuit of this purpose, the typical occupations of the service industry targeted hotel employees and this study investigate the policy effectiveness of security management in Korea hotels. Specifically, this study was conducted by survey and involved major hotel(Seoul, Busan, Gyeongsangnam-do, Gyeongsangbuk-do) across the country. This survey went through feasibility study by major hotels managers. The results were as follows: Findings of the study suggested that most of disaster management stages did not have a statistically significant relationship with the policy effectiveness of security management. Only, repair stage have significant impact on the policy effectiveness of security management. This finding was found to be attributable to the fact that hotel employee would be concentrated in the tangible results of security management.

  • After the death of Min-sik Kim in Asan, South Chungcheong Province in September 2019, awareness of the school zone has been increasing, and the traffic law is being revised continuously. However, despite these efforts, the number of traffic accidents among children has not decreased significantly. This indicates the need for a new direction considering the behavioral characteristics of children and the traffic environment. Therefore, this study identified the current status and problems of school zones through case analysis of school zones in Korea. In addition, we analyzed the Vision Zero policy, the concept of Home Zone, and engineering-oriented road design cases and operation methods in Sweden, an advanced country in traffic safety. In addition, the cases of the two countries were compared and organized focusing on the basic principles of disaster prevention design. The purpose of this study is to suggest the direction of design and policy to improve school zone problems in Korea. Through this, it is expected that the results of this study will be used as data for future research development for the reduction of school zone fatalities in Korea.

  • 전 세계적으로 대형 재난의 발생으로 인해 사회문화적 관습이나 신체조건 등의 차이로 남성보다 여성의 피해가 크다는 사실들이 다양한 사례와 연구를 통해 보고되었고, 개발도상국은 여성의 피해가 큰 반면에 선진국은 여성들의 재난 안전 및 교육 관리에 적극적인 참여를 통해 전반적인 대응 능력을 보일 수 있다는 연구들도 존재한다. 우리나라의 경우에도 빈번하게 자연 재난이 발생하고 있지만, 실제로 재난 안전 인식에 대한 성별 분석을 하기 위한 자료가 부족한 상황이다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 문제점을 파악하기 위해 한국 국민 남녀 489명을 대상으로 재난위험인식에 대한 설문을 실시하고, 거주지 주변 발생 가능한 재난을 인지하고 있는지, 대피소의 위치를 인지하고 있는지, 안전 관리 교육 경험이 있는지 등의 문항으로 구성하여 실시하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 국민들의 재난 안전의 위험도에 대한 인식 수준이 어떠한지 분석하고, 영향 요인을 탐색 하는 데에 있다. 조사결과 안전취약계층은 스스로 대피 하는 데에 있어 큰 어려움이 있으며, 이중 여성은 남성에 비해 안전교육과 훈련의 접근성이 적음에 따라 위험도가 더 큰 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 재난 및 안전관리 교육 및 훈련에 참여하고자 하는 의지는 남성과 여성의 차이가 없었다. 본 연구를 기반으로 재난 안전교육의 필요성을 가지고 재난 안전 시뮬레이션 프로그램이 구축되는 필요성이 있다고 사료되어지고, 미래에 자연재해 발생 시 문제점을 파악하고 인명 피해 감소가 될 전망으로 기대가 된다.
