Stock pre-positioning is one of the most important decisions for preparing the stage of emergency logistics planning. In this paper, a mixed integer model for stock pre-positioning is derived to support an emergency disaster relief response against the event of earthquake. A maximum response time limit, budget availability, multiple item types, and capacity restrictions are considered. In the model, the decision of the distribution centers to cover a disaster area and the amount of supplies to be stocked in each distribution center are simultaneously determined to maximize the total expected relief demand of the disaster areas covered by the existing distribution centers. The proposed model is applied to a real case with 33 disaster areas and 16 distribution centers in Indonesia. Several sensitivity analyses are conducted to estimate the fluctuation on the emergency stock pre-positioning planning by changing the maximum response time and budgets.

Many people criticized how the Chinese government responded to the Wenchuan Earthquake. They focused on how it failed to address the psychological needs of the survivors. The study presented here approached this issue from a human resources perspective. It was determined that the Chinese government approached the situation in a bureaucratic way that limited the government's capacity and barred non-profit organizations and community groups from participating. It was also found that survivors could not contact these organizations for psychological support. This study concludes that the situation called for a more flexible and improvised institution that would respond to the emerging needs of survivors.

A series of heavy rainfall, typhoon and earthquake disasters caused a proportionately large number of deaths among the elderly in the year 2004 in Japan. In response to these tragedies, the national government set up committees to reduce damage within the disaster vulnerable population for the next three years. The discussions in the committee led to a new conceptualization that disaster vulnerability was caused by a lack of interaction between a person's special needs and the environment's capacity and resources to meet them. This person-in-environment model of hazard vulnerability was applied to those who resided in the Nankai-Tonankai tsunami hazard-prone area. 123 home care service users were interviewed in terms of their self-evacuation ability, degree of social isolation, and building weakness as well as tsunami exposure risks. Results were quantified and scores of person-in-environmentmodel hazard vulnerability were obtained. These scores were then used to visualize socially created vulnerability by means of weighted kernel density mapping of both persons with special needs (PSN's) and persons with special needs at times of disaster (PSND's).

The reinforced concrete (RC) structures usually suffer large residual displacements under strong motions. The large residual displacements may substantially reduce the anti-seismic capacity of structures during the aftershock and increase the difficulty and cost of structural repair after an earthquake. To reduce the adverse residual displacement, several self-centering energy dissipation braces (SCEBs) have been proposed to be installed to the RC structures. To investigate the seismic responses of the RC structures with SCEBs under the earthquake excitation, an extended Bouc-Wen model with degradation and self-centering effects is developed in this study. The extended model realized by MATLAB/Simulink program is able to capture the hysteretic characteristics of the RC structures with SCEBs, such as the energy dissipation and the degradation, especially the self-centering effect. The predicted hysteretic behavior of the RC structures with SCEBs based on the extended model, which used the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) for parameter identification, is compared with the experimental results. Comparison results show that the predicted hysteretic curves can be in good agreement with the experimental results. The nonlinear dynamic analyses using the extended model are then carried out to explore the seismic performance of the RC structures with SCEBs. The analysis results demonstrate that the SCEB can effectively reduce the residual displacements of the RC structures, but slightly increase the acceleration.

It is urgent to redevelop the superannuated reservoir levee through the levee raising for countermeasure to climate change and improvement of storage capacity of reservoir. However, low compaction degree of the raised reservoir levee owing to poor construction condition leads to degradation of the stability of the reservoir levee on seepage and earthquake. In this study, seepage and seismic behavior of raised reservoir levee with low compaction degree was evaluated through numerical simulation. From the simulated results, water level raising possibly induces crack and/or sinkhole on the surface of the poorly-compacted raised reservoir levee owing to the increase of the subsidences at the crown and the front side of that. In addition, relatively larger displacement and acceleration response at the front side of raised reservoir levee in seismic condition may degrade overall stability of reservoir levee. Therefore, reasonable construction management for the compaction of the raised reservoir levee is required for ensuring long-term stability on seepage and earthquake.

최근 대형복합 재난 및 테러 등 발생으로 국가위기 및 재난관리의 중요성이 한층 증가되고 있으며, 재난 및 안전사고 강도와 빈도가 높아짐에 따라 정부의 재난 대응과 복구능력만으로는 한계가 있다는 인식이 확산되기 시작했다. 즉, 범사회적 재난안전 관리의 역량 강화 및 복원력 제고를 위해서는 국가 위주의 재난안전 관리가 아닌, 민간영역과·지역사회와의 협력적 체계를 구축이 필수적이라는 것이다. 특히, 최근 스마트 정보통신기술을 이용한 재난 및 안전사고 대응 사례들을 볼 때, 새로운 스마트 모바일 기기를 활용한 민간의 참여확대가 현실적으로 가능해졌음을 알 수 있다. 실제 국가 재난 및 안전 관리 체계를 효율적으로 구축하기 위해서는 스마트 정보통신기술의 접목이 필수적이며, 특히 최근 스마트앱 사회연결망서비스(SNS) 등의 등장 및 이용 영향으로 기존 '명령과 통제' 방식의 재난 및 안전관리에도 변화가 요구되기 시작했다. 해외에서의 스마트 기술 기반 시민참여 사례로는 지난 2010년 아이티 대지진 당시 재난복구에 시민과 민간기업의 자발적 참여를 이끈 크라우드 소싱 플랫폼 우샤히디(Ushahidi) 사례, 2011년 3월 일본 대지진과 지진해일 발생 시 트위터, 페이스북 등과 같은 SNS 등을 통한 생사확인 등의 위기소통 사례, 2011년 5월 미국 조플린 토네이도 발생 시 페이스북 사이트를 통한 시민주도 실종자 찾기 및 생사확인 그리고 긴급구조와 지원 사례 등이 있다. 국내에서는 2010년 부산해운대 오피스텔 화재 발생 시 시민의 동영상 촬영 및 뉴스 제공, 2012년 대풍 볼라벤 북상시 SNS를 통한 시민주도 정보 공유 및 확산, 2014년 세월호 참사 당시 카톡 등 SNS를 통한 생사확인 및 구조현황 공유 등 다양한 스마트 기기와 소셜 미디어를 활용한 민간참여 확대가 재난 및 안전관리에 가져오는 시너지 효과를 볼 수 있었다. 이러한 맥락에서 본 연구는 스마트 기기를 활용한 민간참여에 대해 한국정부 재난안전 실무자가 느끼는 인식 및 기존 재난 및 안전관리에 스마트 민간참여를 수용할 수 있는 준비도(readiness)를 실증 조사해 분석하고자 한다. 스마트 민간참여 확대에 대비한 정부 재난관리 조직과 실무자의 준비 수준을 종합적으로 분석하기 위해 본 연구는 SMART 모델(System, Motivation, Ability, Response, Technology)을 제시한다. SMART 모델에 따라 재난안전 실무자의 법제도(System), 동기(Motivation), Ability(역량), 반응(Response), 및 기술(Technology) 등 5개 영역별 준비 수준을 측정, 분석해 향후 정책적 함의를 도출하고자 하였다.

This paper presents some shaking table tests conducted on a 1/4-scaled model with 5-story steel reinforced concrete (SRC) spatial frame with irregular section columns under a series of base excitations with gradually increasing acceleration peaks. The test frame was subjected to a sequence of seismic simulation tests including 10 white noise vibrations and 51 seismic simulations. Each seismic simulation was associated with a different level of seismic disaster. Dynamic characteristic, strain response, acceleration response, displacement response, base shear and hysteretic behavior were analyzed. The test results demonstrate that at the end of the loading process, the failure mechanism of SRC frame with irregular section columns is the beam-hinged failure mechanism, which satisfies the seismic code of "strong column-weak beam". With the increase of acceleration peaks, accumulated damage of the frame increases gradually, which induces that the intrinsic frequency decreases whereas the damping ratio increases, and the peaks of acceleration and displacement occur later. During the loading process, torsion deformation appears and the base shear grows fast firstly and then slowly. The hysteretic curves are symmetric and plump, which shows a good capacity of energy dissipation. In summary, SRC frame with irregular section columns can satisfy the seismic requirements of "no collapse under seldom earthquake", which indicates that this structural system is suitable for the construction in the high seismic intensity zone.

This study proposes a methodology for the regional seismic risk assessment of structural damage to buildings in Korea based on evaluating individual buildings, considering inconsistency between the administrative district border and grid lines to define seismic hazard. The accuracy of seismic hazards was enhanced by subdividing the current 2km-sized grids into ones with a smaller size. Considering the enhancement of the Korean seismic design code in 2005, existing seismic fragility functions for seismically designed buildings are revised by modifying the capacity spectrum according to the changes in seismic design load. A seismic risk index in building damage is defined using the total damaged floor area considering building size differences. The proposed seismic risk index was calculated for buildings in 29 administrative districts in 'A' city in Korea to validate the proposed assessment algorithm and risk index. In the validation procedure, sensitivity analysis was performed on the grid size, quantitative building damage measure, and seismic fragility function update.
