Recently, since the risk on natural disasters is increasing due to abnormal weather such as the global warming, a need for a system on prior review on the influence of disasters has emerged in order to establish a solution by analyzing elements of disaster in advance. However, since the inherently destroying business namely the quarrying business is excluded from the range of subject business of Prior Review System on the influence of disasters, a correction for this is required. In order to actually explore how much risk it contains, actual outflow of soil and flood in the quarrying block where quarrying is being currently carried out was examined and the required undercurrent facility capacity which is also used as a grit chamber was investigated. In addition, by comparing the soil outflow of industrial complexes and golf courses which are current subject businesses of Prior Review on the Influence of Disasters and that of rock mountains relative risk level was examined. After investigation, it was found that the risk on occurrence of disasters was increased due to increase in outflow of soil and flood because of the change of land condition during and after development thus an adequate solution to decrease is required. In addition, after comparison with other business groups it was found that a significantly higher amount of soil is outflown in case of rock mountains thus it was analyzed that a solution to decrease is required. Therefore, a correction is immediately required in order to include quarrying business in the subject business of Prior Review System on the Influence of Disasters.

임업 중에서 시장과 정부의 규제가 충돌하는 대표적인 산업을 토석산업이라 할 수 있다. 특히, 경제적 측면과 환경, 경관, 재해측면을 동시에 고려하기 어려워 적정한 규제 및 규제개혁의 검토를 통해 관련 법 조항의 개정이 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구는 전국 54개소의 토석채취지를 대상으로 산지관리법에 명시된 환경 및 경관피해, 재해저감 실태에 대한 이행상태를 조사함으로써 토석채취자 및 관련 종사자의 준법정신을 확인하고, 차후 종사자를 대상으로 한 교육, 법률 개정에 있어 기초자료로 제공하고자 실시하였다. 산지관리법과 하위 법령의 총 22개 항목에 대하여 이행상태를 분석한 결과, 환경피해 저감 관련 법 조항은 이행상태가 대체로 양호한 것으로 나타났으나, 경관피해 저감 관련 법 조항은 대부분의 토석채취지에서 해당사항이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이것은 산림경관을 중요시하는 사회적 분위기에 따라 토석채취로 발생하는 경관피해를 최소화하고자 한 결과로 판단된다. 아울러 재해방지를 위한 침사지 설치 이행상태는 양호한 것으로 나타났으나, 침사지와 연계된 방류수의 배출기준(수질오염방지)의 정립 및 제시를 통해 효율성을 높일 필요가 있을 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 본 연구결과와 차후 진전된 연구를 통해 다양한 법률이 적용되는 토석산업에 대해서는 보다 명확한 내용과 근거를 기반으로 현실성 있는 규제와 산업의 발전을 위한 정책이 수립되어야 할 것이다.

This study examined the actual conditions of quarries. aiming to offer preliminary data to help with restoration efforts of quarries after extracting rock material. The results are as follows. As for the current state of business, a classification of all sites surveyed showed the ratio of ceased operations: ongoing operations: quarries under restoration to be 58:5:37. Classified by the permit area, the ratio of the number of quarries with areas less than $20,000m^2$ (2ha) : between $20,000m^2$ (2ha) and $50,000m^2$ (5ha) : $50,000m^2$ (5ha) or more was 15:60:25. The classification by use of the rocks showed the ratio of construction aggregate (such as civil construction material) : building material : craft material to be 60:28:12. The ratio of quarrying methods of bench cut : slope quarry : vertical quarry wall is 40:18:42. It is indicated that 85% of all quarries surveyed are difficult to reclaim while 15% seem to be easier to restore. Among all surveyed, 34 sites were considered to be extremely difficult to restore. 17 of the 34 sites (50%) were quarry walls almost vertical that have been neglected after extraction. 16 of them (47%) were underground quarries that have left quarry walls deep under the ground. For the remaining 1 site, there doesn't seem to be any need for reclamation as it became totally flat after the extraction.

Background: External-cause mortality is an important public health issue worldwide. Considering its significance to workers' health and inequalities across industries, we aimed to describe the state of external-cause mortality and investigate its difference by industry in Republic of Korea based on data for 2018. Methods: Data obtained from the Statistics Korea and Korean Employment Information System were used. External causes of death were divided into three categories (suicide, transport accident, and others), and death occurred during employment period or within 90 days after unemployment was regarded as workers' death. We calculated age- and sex-standardized mortalities per 100,000, standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) compared to the general population and total workers, and mortality rate ratios (RRs) across industries using information and communication as a reference. Correlation analyses between income, education, and mortality were conducted. Results: Age- and sex-standardized external-cause mortality per 100,000 in all workers was 29.4 (suicide: 16.2, transport accident: 6.6, others: 6.6). Compared to the general population, all external-cause and suicide SMRs were significantly lower; however, there was no significant difference in transport accidents. When compared to total workers, wholesale, transportation, and business facilities management showed higher SMR for suicide, and agriculture, forestry, and fishing, mining and quarrying, construction, transportation and storage, and public administration and defense showed higher SMR for transport accidents. A moderate to strong negative correlation was observed between education level and mortality (both age- and sex-standardized mortality rates and SMR compared to the general population). Conclusion: Inequalities in external-cause mortalities from suicide, transport accidents, and other causes were found. For reducing the differences, improved policies are needed for industries with higher mortalities.
