Recently, the buildings have gradually become higher, more massive and more complex with high growth of economy and varieties of the patterns of people's living. Therefore we study a performance and Improving Methods of the fire compartment as a measure to minimize the damage of the people and property from the fire. Currently, under the economic crisis situation, we do not consider about prevention of disaster safety enough; safety investment evasion, safety carelessness, and management relaxation etc. Also in the aspect of regulation system, industrial technology and plan engineering, Korean techniques of preventing fire disasters are far behind of other advanced nations. At this point, we are in need of improving about it. When considering like this situation, we need more studies on the practical improvement in order to assure fire prevention for buildings. The fire compartment prevent from magnifying the fire to the wide area by compartment into specific area. From this, it is possible to minimize fire damage and property and secure emergency exit for life safety. This fire compartment has primary function to extinguish fire easily, and the openings and penetrations are important passage which makes the smoke and fire go away from the fire area to the contiguous space. This study suggests improving methods of domestic fire compartment efficiency standard through comparative analysis of overseas advanced provision and domestic provision about base element of the building fire prevention.

When patients have acute cardiac arrest before they are hospitalized, the ratio of CPR done by the general public is directly related to patient survival ratio. However, compared with that of advanced nations, our nation has low patient survival ratio due to its low ratio of CPR done by the general public. To improve this situation, the current study conducted a pre-survey targeting 3,800 general public to find how to apply an emergent medical system using smart phone location-based service. According to its outcome, first, they have a high level of CPR experience while their recognition of CPR generality is low. Second, their self-confidence in doing CPR significantly differ according to their age, academic achievement and occupation yet with generally low self-confidence. Third, their participation in the emergent medical system using location-based service APPs is high, and has co-relation to their will for CPR, self-confidence in CPR and experience in CPR training.

Depression and mental illness across all age groups, and steady increasing in suicide rate are our major social problems which cause dramatically decreasing government competitiveness. While Korean government has implemented various policies to improve mental health and prevent suicide, it faces revealing issues in progress on implementation and referral management systems. The current research examined domestic and foreign cases to understand the actual status and directivity of ICT convergence plan in terms of mental health. The United States and the United Kingdom have provided convergent ICT service, telepsychiatric care to senior citizens in rural areas, children and adolescents, socially disadvantaged class, etc. In Korea, emergency-notice devices are installed to prevent suicide for single elderly people, and diverse mobile health devices are developing to cure depression and Alzheimer's disease. ICT convergent mental health care service is needed to save socioeconomic costs and realize universal welfare for an aging society. Social consensus on sharply conflict issues, medical law and medical devices about telepsychiatry service, effectiveness studies on users' unique psychiatric characteristics by life cycle, and region-specialized strategies for the least densely populated rural regions with lower access to medical care should be considered.

Disasters and crises are spreading across the globe, and there has been an increase in the number disasters in northeast Asia, such as earthquakes in Sichuan, China, and East Japan. This study aims to propose a plan to attract facilities from the United Nations Humanitarian Response Depot (UNHRD). Although there are no prior domestic studies, the study focuses on the role of intangible benefits, values, and economic outcomes in attracting facilities. Based on an analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) of Korea's host environment, using the UN's annual report and Korea's overseas emergency relief data, the study will analyze the status of relevant UN organizations and derive detailed strategies. In order to attract facilities from the UNHRD, it will be necessary to build and promote a cooperative system with domestic and foreign NGO experts in humanitarian assistance and joint proposals from government departments and local governments. In the long-run, it will be necessary to work closely with the relevant UN agencies to achieve strategic progress.

Objectives: This study was performed to measure the food allergy (FA) awareness and management by the parents of preschool children. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted with the parents of preschool children. The questionnaire was designed to identify the prevalence of food allergies, requirements of food allergy support and differences in food management according to the presence or absence allergic diseases, using a modified International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) questionnaire. After excluding incomplete responses, the data of 158 parents of preschool children (90.3%) was used for statistical analysis. Results: The rate of the preschool children who had experienced food allergy (FA, ever) was 38.6% while diagnosed for food allergy by doctor (Diagnosis of FA, ever) was 17.7%. Forty nine preschool children (80.3%) had food restriction, and twenty three of them (37.7%) had self-restriction without diagnosis. The consumption frequencies of allergenic foods in FA group, such as ramyeon, noodles, bread, eggs, yogurt and ice cream were significantly (p<0.001) lower than those of the other two groups. The major allergenic foods were eggs, milk, wheat and processed foods in FA group. The overall food allergy-related knowledge level of parents was insufficient. Only 26 parents (16.5%) had received training about food allergies. All parents wanted to receive food allergy-related supports. In addition, most of parents wanted information on substitute menu for children with food allergy. Conclusions: This study identified a lack of food allergy training for the parents of preschool children and the necessity for food allergy education. Food allergy-related supports, such as menus without allergenic ingredients, guidelines for managing food allergy & anaphylaxis emergency care plan etc, should be provided to the parents in order to avoid events related to food allergies.

Recently, environment facilities are able to manage real-time data collection and record management through integrated broadband modem LAN switching technology. Therefore, it need more stable and efficient facility management. So, we required practical use of environmental facilities convergence based on broadband integrated modem. In this paper, we proposed an integrated broadband modem LAN switching technology which can applicable to the environment facility. Also, we presented integrated broadband modem of design plan and communication system. And it received data inside of environment facility using the two communication methods(IEEE802.11x and IEEE802.15.4x). Then, our proposed integrated broadband modem LAN switching technology will prioritize processing data when emergency happen through collecting data, analysis data and processing. Lastly, we proved usefulness by experiment and simulation analysis.

In this study, we proposed a layout of the integrated decision support system in order to prevent the contamination and to manage risk in water supply networks for safe and smooth water supply. We evaluated the priority of risk factors to detect anomaly in water supply networks using PROMETHEE and ANP techniques, which are applied to various Multi-Criteria Decision Making area in Europe and America. To develop the model, we selected pH, residual chlorine concentration, discharge, hydraulic pressure, electrical conductivity, turbidity, block leakage and water temperature as the key data item. We also chose pipe corrosion, pipe burst and water pollution in pipe as the criteria and then we present the results of PROMETHEE and ANP analysis. The evaluation results of the priority of risk factors in water supply networks will provide basic data to establish a contingency plan for accidents so that we can establish the specific emergency response procedures.

The following improvement plans are suggested in this study to facilitate implementing a pilot project for building a disaster resistant community organized by the National Emergency Management Agency in 2008, and ultimately to expand the project nation-wide. Regarding legislative aspects, legal grounds should be established such as devising a new clause in the Counter Measure for Natural Disaster for assigning a disaster resistant community or city, and devising a tentatively named "Act for Disaster Resistant Community Project" as a local governance regulation. Regarding administrative aspects, a project master plan focused on active participation of the local residents should be designed. Moreover, a certain amount of the project budget should be alloted not only to structural contents but also to non-structural contents. Regarding organizational aspects, an education program for training local disaster prevention leaders should be actively promoted and a local disaster prevention governance system should also be established among official and inofficial local organizations. Furthermore a preemptive consulting system with disaster prevention experts as well as an evaluation system to monitor the project implementation process should be introduced.

댐은 우리사회에 다양한 이익을 제공하는 반면 과거의 댐 붕괴 사례에 비추어 볼 때 붕괴로 인한 피해 규모는 막대하다. 세계 각국에서는 기존 댐들에 대한 잠재적 붕괴에 대비하기 위해 비상대처계획(Emergency Action Plan, EAP)과 같은 대책을 수립하여 붕괴로 인한 피해를 최소화하기 위한 노력을 기울이고 있다. 댐붕괴 모델링은 크게 댐 결괴부에 대한 예측과정과 댐 붕괴로 인한 하류부 홍수추적 과정으로 분류할 수 있다. 결괴부 예측과정은 댐붕괴로 인한 저수지 유출량에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 부분이며 하류부 영향지역의 평가에도 매우 중요한 요소이다. 댐붕괴 예측모형은 결괴부에 대한 예측에 따라 매개변수 기반 모형과 물리기반 모형으로 분류된다. 매개변수 기반모형은 결괴형성과정을 단순 시간에 의한 함수로 고려하고 있으며 결괴부를 통한 흐름은 위어흐름으로 가정하고 있다. 이 모형은 현재 댐 붕괴 실무에서 가장 널리 이용되고 있으며 대표적인 모형은 FLDWAV/ DAMBRK 모형, HEC-RAS 모형 등이 있다. 물리기반 모형은 댐 붕괴진행 과정의 상세한 이해를 위해 시작되었으며 결괴부 흐름상황, 제체 침식, 제체가 불안정해지는 과정을 수리실험과 수리학, 토질역학, 구조역학 등의 이론을 통합하여 예측하는 기법으로 댐붕괴 과정을 좀 더 현실적으로 예측할 수 있으며 기존 붕괴된 댐들에 대한 붕괴 원인 및 진행과정을 규명할 수 있는 장점을 가진다. 최근 개발된 물리기반 댐 붕괴 모형은 HR-BREACH 모형, WINDAM 모형, FIREBIRD 모형 등이 있으며 지속적으로 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 현재 진행 중에 있는 물리기반 댐 붕괴 모형들을 검토하고 현재 USDA, ARS에서 개발 중에 있는 WINDAM 모형을 이용하여 물리기반 모형의 수행에 요구되는 입력변수, 수행과정, 결과물에 대한 검토를 통해 댐 붕괴 관련 연구의 발전 방향을 모색하고 국내에서 물리기반 댐 붕괴 모형을 적용하기 위해 요구되는 사항과 한계점을 파악하여 댐 붕괴 실무로의 적용 방안을 마련하는 데 그 목적이 있다.
