In severe disaster situations, Emergency alert provide information for people to survive. However, the only device that can receive the Cell Broadcasting Service (CBS) of the Korean Public Alert System (KPAS), the Public Warning System (PWS), is Smart Phone and Receiving the disaster information is very limited. Therefore, this paper proposes a solution to the problem. First, we discover problems through the analysis of KPAS, and second, we propose Smart Watch and Navigation as devices to receive Emergency alert. The devices can receive disaster information through Bluetooth communication from Smart Phone and provide content such as disaster-related images and videos. Based on the proposed items, the application was developed, and as a result of the test, Smart Phone provided more disaster information like images and videos than current emergency alert, and the method of notification of emergency alert was varied. And Smart Watch and Navigation received disaster information successfully through Smart Phone, which also provided various disaster information like images and videos. The developed application has expanded functionally than the existing emergency alert and can benefit many people in emergency situations.

Recently, a new infectious disease, COVID-19, has been spreading not only in Korea but around the world. As a result, the Korean government raised the level of infectious disease crisis alerts to a serious level on February 23, 2020. The purpose of this study is to apply the situational theory of publics to publics segmentation according to the issuance of a crisis alert and to suggest ways to improve the crisis alert system. To this end, the level of public perception on crisis alerts was checked. The verification confirmed that the situational theory of publics is a suitable theoretical framework for analyzing the communication behaviors of the public toward crisis alerts. As a result of the public segmentation, 42.7% were classified as active publics. Based on this, it was suggested to reorganize the crisis alert system as a system for communicating with the public.

In this paper, we investigated the current issues on the KPAS(Korean Public Alert Service) by News analysis. News articles, from May 15, 2005 to April 30, 2020, were collected with the key word of 'KPAS' through the News Big-Data System provided by the Korea Press Foundation. The results of the content analysis are as follows. First, the issues on alert presentation were categorized by alarm sound, message content, alert level, transmission frequency, delay, reception range, time of alert, and language. Issues on inability to receive KPAS messages were categorized into authority, mobile, sending standard, mobile communication infra, etc. For the last two to three years, news on the inability issues had decreased, while news on the presentation issues had increased. This tells us that the public demand for improvement in the KPAS lies in the presentation issues. The demand for societal resolutions to the presentation issues especially on message content, transmission frequency, and reception range has soared.

The purpose of this study is to suggest improvement direction of the delivery system through researching the information accepter' recognition and use about warning delivery system. According to the survey, they listen to civil defence alert broadcasting on mass media more than personal media. The frequency of alert broadcasting is significantly very low and they listen to it below 5 times in a year. Also, nearly one in four people says its siren and contents are indistinct. Alert broadcasting's siren shows less memory retrieval and sorting capability than others and the result shows that they will act based on the broadcasting instead of reacting to prior knowledge in real situations. Finally, the result shows that improving public awareness through education and publicity more than social system buildup is important in civil defence alert system.

In this paper the heat health alert system, which is operated this year by way of showing an example, is a simulator linked to the Geographic Information System (GIS), and it uses meteorological data that are observed at Automatic Weather Systems (AWSs) in Seoul, Korea. Simulation results show that it is possible to use meteorological data observed by AWSs when the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) has issued alerting the public to the threat of heat waves, and to connect meteorological data to spatial data when the KMA offers local forecasts and weather-related information. However, most AWSs that were installed to manage urban disasters do not measure humidity, so general humidity is used in all districts. Therefore, to issue heat wave warnings about different localities on a small scale, we will study how to complement this problem and to examine the accuracy of data observed at AWS in the future.

The possible air pollution problems in a proposed underground highway are discussed using carbon monoxide (CO) as an indicator. Carbon monoxide concentrations in the underground highway depend on several factors, including the size of tunnel, the number of automobiles, the CO emission rate, and the tunnel ventilation rate. Using the estimated values, CO concentrations in the underground highway can be predicted. Without proper ventilation system, CO concentration in the underground highway can be dangerous level. However, the cost of operating the mandatory mechanical ventilation system may be tremendouslyy high and may be technically unrealistic to implement. If the underground highway is constructed with proper ventilation system, a continuous air pollution monitoring system with alarming function must be installed to alert personnel of serious air pollution built up in the underground highway. Traffic must be restricted, whenever the inside air pollution levels exceed agreed values. Short distances between evacuation exits are necessary for emergency situations or malfunction of ventilation system.

This study investigates the number of news and correlated keywords concerning to Korean Wireless Emergency Alert(KWEA). The news was collected using BIGKinds, a news big data system provided by the Korea Press Foundation. When analyzing the annual published news articles, we investigated the frequency of the news grouped by disaster types, and the frequency of the news distinguishing between the earthquake and non-earthquake disasters, and finally the frequency of correlated keywords concerning to the disasters. We found that the KWEA news totaled 182 in 2016 due to the unprecedented powerful KyongJu earthquake, an increase of 20 times over the previous year. Ever since 2016, the news about the KWEA continued to hit high figures consistently. After the peak in KyongJu earthquake in 2016, the proportion of non-earthquakes had also increased in 2017 and 2018. Next, the keyword correlation analysis showed that the KWEA news gave major coverage to the following entities: The Ministry of the Interior and Safety which operates the KWEA, Korea Meteorological Administration, and the general public.

2017년 UHD 본방송을 시작한 후 ESG, TIVIVA와 같은 부가서비스들이 지속적으로 도입되고 있다. 최근에 UHD 재난경보방송 도입 논의가 시작되었고, 서비스 방향을 TV에서 공공미디어로 확대하는 방안에 논의가 이어지고 있다. 재난경보방송의 대상이 TV가 아닌 다른 유형의 수신기들로 달라지면 서비스 시나리오도 달라진다. 기존의 아날로그 TV재난방송은 TV 화면에 자막으로 재난 문자가 표출되었고, DMB 재난경보방송은 내비게이션에서 알람음을 동반한 팝업창에 문자 메시지 형태로 표출되었다. UHD 재난경보방송 서비스가 공공미디어로 확장되기 위해서 역시 새로운 서비스에 관련한 다양한 연구가 요구된다. 이에 본 논문은 공공미디어를 통한 UHD 재난경보방송의 서비스 요구사항에 있어 3가지 연구 과제를 점화하고 있다. 우선 기존과 다른 재난 정보전달 서비스인 만큼 공공미디어를 통한 재난경보방송의 서비스 성격 정립이 필요하다. 그리고 공공미디어 수신 환경에 적합한 다양한 메시지 형식이 연구되어야 한다. 마지막으로 공공미디어를 통한 재난경보방송 시스템과 솔루션의 원격 관리 방안을 모색하고자 한다.
