  • As mentioned above, various safety measures are considered and discussed as hijacking of Korean vessels by pirates is increasing. Thus, the standard for ship's facilities has been partially revised and setting up an evacuation shelter on all vessels sailing dangerous zone has been reinforced. This research aims to discuss crew Citadel set up that has to sail long haul. In addition, measures against potential gas flow have to be taken due to recent pirate armed and portable rocket attacks. There is also a possibility of fire outbreak within the vessel due to its nature. Thus, this research assesses the relevant number of crew Citadel theoretically. It will also make a model by estimating the relevant number of shelters in the event of fire outbreak and implement simulation using FDS.

  • As large-scale buildings, skyscrapers, and multi-purpose buildings recently increase in numbers dramatically the internal space of such buildings becomes more and more large and complicated accordingly. The Multi-purpose buildings are increasing rapidly in number, and concerns over the evacuation process in case of fire emergency are also increasing. However, A controller who is responsible for visitor's safety makes a decision about measures for visitor safety in human based decision making process. Many potential accidents that are caused by human error lurk in results of the process. The accidents can be decreased by changing the decision making process from human-based into technology-based. Through this study, the way to improve current disasters prevention system is presented and it can also improve shelter inducement methods effectively. SICS(Spatial Information Control System) which is being studied in other research is used as the tool for improvement.

  • As part of the Fire Evacuation Service scenario using mobile applications, this study aims to find the appropriate colors to be used in the interface of the application and to define and apply colors that can positively and reliably affect human unstable psychology in the course of evacuating the room in case of fire. In the situation of fire, proper design and placement of the colored escape guidance interface is important, taking into account the psychology of the occupants. However, literature and previous research have shown that colors used to induce evacuation are not suitable for effective evacuation in case of fire. In this study, the purpose of the study was to provide a color that would provide psychological stability in the event of a evacuation in consideration of the psychological issues of those who are still in need of shelter, and to use it to help induce an efficient evacuation in the event of a disaster. Using the image evaluation method, the form and color of images have been derived through frequency analysis to a number of unspecified people, and the main and secondary colors of images were analyzed through KSCA color analysis. Finally, the final application color was constructed through mutual verification between the results by comparing and analyzing the colors obtained through the image evaluation analysis results and the KSCA color analysis results. The results of the study showed that the green line can help stabilize the human mind through comparative analysis with prior research. Therefore, the main color for guiding calm and calm applications in case of fire escape is proposed in the green line. In this study, the experiment with image evaluation cannot accurately measure the effect of factors on color among complex factors. A subsequent study of this will help quantify images if it allows the subject matter of color and image to be defined to some extent through factor analysis.

  • Since the late 19th century, the annual average temperature of the Earth has risen due to excessive emission of greenhouse gases, and abnormal weather phenomena such as heavy rain and heavy snowfall have been increasing frequently all over the world. In a city with high population growth due to high economic growth, fire and terrorist accidents can cause serious property damage and human casualties. The purpose of this study is to propose the need for evacuated facilities to protect victims, and suggest adequate shelters' size which can be protectable them. In spite of the Ministry of Public Safety and Security designated 3.3 square meters of per capita capacity, they does not specify the basis about setting this criterion.

  • In this study, we conducted an FDS numerical simulation for the purpose of carrying out a basic assessment of the usefulness of the water spray for fire extinguishing. We analyzed the effect of securing the stability in temperature and smoke density in case of fire according to fire intensities (20MW, 50MW) and changes in wind speed. When there was no wind speed in tunnels, it was effective in securing the safety of people because the cooling effect of the water spray system had an excellent effect on reducing temperatures and smoke densities there. The higher a fire intensity is, the less effect it has on reducing smoke flows. When an air current exists in tunnels, its cooling effect disturbs the smoke stratification and lowers the visibility degree during evacuation. Therefore, the water spray for fire extinguishing should be put into action only after people take shelter during fire.

  • School is a place to be done the education of Disaster Prevention and to be established the function of Disaster Prevention and seismic performance to secure the safety of children as well as emergency evacuation facilities for local communities in case of disaster. To improve the ability of Earthquake Disaster Prevention for students and teachers schools have to put the Earthquake Disaster Prevention on the subjects, for an example ethics, social study, science and gym and make a plan to efficiently manage school disaster prevention facilities. Seismic retrofitting on school facilities have to be established with the method of construction for steel bracings and seismic shear walls choosing old architectures first which is not the design with the seismic performance considering educational environmental aspects, and reconstruction of old architectures to get the agreement of societies. Furthermore, there is great demand for the effective, efficient and systematic improvement of school facilities for the use of shelters to be disaster prevention facilities.

  • Caused by the Cheonanham attack and the Yeonpyeongdo bombardment occurred a few years ago, and the recent North Korea's nuclear test, the war crisis between South and North Korea has been increasing. Accordingly, an interest in obtaining a temporary residential space, for the case of the outbreak of war, where people can reside safely over a period of time has been escalating. However, in the disaster relief planning guidelines of the National Emergency Management Agency, the standards on the temporary residential spaces in preparation for storm and flood or earthquake are included, but the standards on the ones in responding to war are not yet equipped. In particular, the standards on the underground temporary residential spaces that can accommodate massive victims should be developed in preparation. In this study, through a requirements analysis based on the survey of war victims and a comparative analysis between disaster-related laws and regulations, the direction of relevant system improvement for the utilization of temporary residential spaces in responding to war is established.

  • It is important to establish a strong system of agencies for protection against disasters. Also, the system of protection against disasters by the residents is necessary to be strengthen the system. We examined the roles of the protection agencies and the administrational institutions against disasters. The results are: 1) The mutual assistance agency relies on the administrational institution on a hardware surface., 2) On the software surface some systems of protection from disasters are under the control of the agencies, and some are under the control of the administrational institution., 3) The shelters are unable to meet the needs of people in any disaster. Thus, we should use of the existing institutions as evacuation areas., 4) The people working in the city in which they live tend to know the protocols of the disaster measures and to recognize the disaster maps well.

  • In Korea 2016, the largest earthquake occurred in Gyeongju since the beginning of monitoring earthquakes. Consecutively the second-largest earthquake occurred in Pohang. At that time, immediately after the earthquake, citizens were not notified adequate information for evacuation. In consequence the response process was very confusing and citizens were not able to properly evacuate to shelter. For resolving these problems, it is needed of a service to inform quickly information which citizens want to know immediately after the earthquake. So, we have developed the customized information service model, the earthquake safety service which help citizens to escape safely using an earthquake shaking alert device. In this paper, we will introduce this model and present the future direction of R&D and strategic plans for technology dissemination and improvement of practicality through user demand survey.
