Social overhead capital (SOC) facilities are being threatened continuously by abnormal climate events that are increasing globally. For disaster response, rapid decision making on evacuation routes and other matters is critical. For this purpose, spatiotemporal information that combine data on disasters and SOC facilities needs to be utilized. This information is separately collected by government agencies and public organizations, and is not managed in an integrated manner. For rapid disaster response, an integrated management of separately collected disaster data and the creation of such information as the safety and damages on SOC facilities are required. To achieve this goal, it is essential to build inventories that integrate all the related information to support decision making indispensable for disaster response. In this study, a development plan for an integrated inventory management system based on the management and connection of inventories to support rapid decision making for disaster response is proposed. This system can collect and standardize data related to disasters and SOC facilities that are being managed separately and provide integrated information in line with the needs of users. The proposed system can be used as a decision making tool for proactive disaster response.

Disaster is externally an incident that causes enormous damage to society and humanity. Disaster also internally stimulate a variety of personal and collective complexes in the human mind. The sinking of Sewol Ferry in 2014 was a disaster that took away countless lives. People not only in South Korea but around the world were deeply affected by the incident. While directly taking part in disaster mental health support and meeting with people who were sunk in sorrow and helplessness and feeling the collapse of conceit against modern technological civilization, I realised the need to conduct study and research on the conscious and unconscious response from the viewpoint of analytical psychology. This research investigates the response and management of disaster in prehistoric times mainly through myths and petroglyphs. This study aims to consider the problems and improvements of disaster response in the modern times by finding the distinct cultural characteristics and the universal, fundamental, and archetypal human nature inherent in the concepts of disaster and responses to disaster and discovering their meaning and wisdom. Creation myths around the world show that in the beginning there was a disaster as part of the universal creation. Humanity has understood disaster as a periodic renewal of the world by the oppositeness between destruction and creation and had the idea that violation of taboo to be the cause of disaster since prehistoric times. Disaster could be interpreted as the intention of the Self that renews the fundamental consciousness through the externally appearing destructive action. Various rituals performed by man on earth renovates the human consciousness during a mental crisis situation, such as a disaster, and corresponds with the unconscious to create an opportunity for psychological regeneration that seeks harmony. Modern society has neglected the importance of internal dealing and the suffering human soul and concentrated on the external, technological and administrative actions related with disaster response. We cannot determine the occurrence of a disaster, but we can determine how to deal with the disaster. While developing external disaster response, we need to ponder on the meaning of disaster and conduct internal disaster response that care for human mind. Through this, we will understand the meaning of pain and have renewed mature psyche.

Recently, localized heavy rain is increased by climatic changes and landslide is increased. Also, because of landslide occurred in urban area, life and property damages are increased. Therefore, standard operation procedure of disasters should be established by steps and institutions so as to respond landslide. This thesis investigated application of current disaster manual so as to write SOP of landslide for disaster prevention related experts and accepted opinion for responding necessaries by using landslide SOP and important matters by step of disaster management. As the result of investigation, application of manual was low during the current response to disasters and application was the highest in responding step among the steps of disaster management. In case of landslide, they responded that response with SOP is necessary. During the organization of landslide SOP, they responded that training and education for landslide disaster are important at the step of prevention, conduction of landslide disaster broadcasting and provision of information are important at the step of preparation, guidance for evasion and behavior methods is important at the step of response and investigation of landslide disaster damages and reflection of record and evaluation are important at the step of recovery. In addition, for the requests for landslide SOP application, there was an importance of secondary factors such as expansion of professional manpower, strengthening of law and institution, education and training for SOP acquisition, etc.

The purpose of this study is to define emergency response procedures by BDMS [Building Disaster Management System] when earthquake occurs on long-span bridge structures. The study is about developing a computer-based algorithm for various earthquake intensities that works with the System. Presently, long-span bridge disaster prevention relies on closed-system centered on human intervention alone. However, this study combines IT technology and internet-based open system creating a more practical system. Additionally, assigned duties and tasks are clearly defined to all personnel involved in various disaster situations using the Active Action Diagram(AAD) techniques. Also, the design of 3-dimensional view assists to determine the appropriate initial response in times of earthquake and other disasters. The combination of the existing manual emergency response procedures and the scenario-based (IT) response system being developed will create an efficiency and fast response actions in times of emergencies.

The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the organizations for responses in disaster fields to cope with large-scaled disasters including Emergency Management Agency, Emergency Response Unit, Emergency Support Center, and Field Command Center (Field Command Office). According to the results of the analysis, the problems of the organizations for responses in local disaster fields are; 1) the scopes of roles among the organizations for responses in disaster fields are ambiguous, 2) the structures of the organizations for responses in disasters are different each other, 3) the integrated management functions among the organizations for responses in disasters are overlapped, and 4) the one who assumes the integrated command is not defined. In order to improve the problems, first, the range of working of each organization for responses in local disaster fields should be definitely established and an agreement in services among the organizations should be settled in advance. Second, similar designs in the structure among the organizations for responses in disasters are necessary for amicable communication. Third, the works for integration and management for each organization for responses should be apportioned. Fourth, the organization in charge and the one who assumes the integrated command for each type of disasters should be appointed in advance for rapid decision-making.
