In the case of forest areas, the installation of ground control points (GCPs) and the selection of terrain features, which are one of the unmanned aerial photogrammetry work process, are limited compared to urban areas, and safety problems arise due to non-visible flight due to high forest. To compensate for this problem, the drone equipped with a real time kinematic (RTK) sensor that corrects the position of the drone in real time, and a 3D flight method that fly based on terrain information are being developed. This study suggests to present a method for investigating damage using drones in forest areas. Position accuracy evaluation was performed for three methods: 1) drone mapping through GCP measurement (normal mapping), 2) drone mapping based on topographic data (3D flight mapping), 3) drone mapping using RTK drone (RTK mapping), and all showed an accuracy within 2 cm in the horizontal and within 13 cm in the vertical position. After evaluating the position accuracy, the volume of the landslide area was calculated and the volume values were compared, and all showed similar values. Through this study, the possibility of utilizing 3D flight mapping and RTK mapping in forest areas was confirmed. In the future, it is expected that more effective damage investigations can be conducted if the three methods are appropriately used according to the conditions of area of the disaster.

Recently, drone applications have been expanded not only in the military and security fields but also in daily life such as commercial and sports, and there is also a growing interest in using drone for private security work. This study focuses on the discussion on the use of drones in private security, drones regulation in the related laws such as the Private Security Act and the Aviation Safety Law, and major issues in accepting the Private Security Act. First, it focuses on the scope of private security work as defined by the Private Security Act, focusing on the use of drones as surveillance, information gathering, guidance and warning services, evacuation services, search and related material transport services, respectively. Second, the related laws for the use of drones in private security work include the Private Security Act and the Aviation Safety Act. However, the Private Security Act does not prescribe the current drones and the use of drones is regulated by Aviation Safety Act. Third, it is necessary to adjust the qualifications and authority range of security guards in the Private Security Act, to accept the drones as a type of security equipment, and to consider how countermeasures against threat types using drones should be accepted in the Private Security Act.

Terrain data for disaster analysis in hazardous or disaster areas is not only important but also needs to be built quickly. In particular, the introduction of drones is in the early stages of research using drones in a variety of fields such as shooting, analyzing and managing hazardous areas. It is expected that drone will be faster, safer and more effective than existing data collection method in case of small scale disaster hazard area and disaster area where equipment or manpower input is difficult. Therefore, in this study, drone shooting was performed for hazardous areas in mountainous roads located in Samcheok city, Gangwon province, and ground reference points were measured by RTK-GPS. The measured data were converted into DSM (Digital Surface Model) data by coordinate correction using Pix4D postprocessing program and then applied to the analysis of the hazard area of mountainous area. As a result, it was shown that it is effective to identify the risk by using the basic terrain data obtained from the drones.

Recently, the use of CCTV to prevent crowd accidents has been promoted, but research is needed to compensate for the spatial limitations of CCTV. In this study, pedestrian density was measured using drone footage, and based on a review of existing literature, a threshold of 6.7 people/m² was selected as the cutoff risk level for crowd accidents. In addition, we conducted a preliminary study to determine drone parameters and found that the pedestrian recognition rate was high at a drone altitude of 20 meters and an angle of 60°. Based on a previous study, we selected a target area with a high concentration of pedestrians and measured pedestrian density, which was found to be 0.27~0.30 per m². The study shows it is possible to measure risk levels by determining pedestrian densities in target areas using drone images. We believe drone surveillance will be utilized for crowd safety management in the near future.

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.
