This study investigated a total of 22 types (15 types of natural disasters and seven types of social disasters) of disaster and safety data based on the National Daily Situation Report, Disaster Yearbook and annual Disaster Annals issued by the Ministry of Public Administration and Security. Disaster safety data were collected from the daily situation report of MOIS (Ministry of the Interior and Safety). The number of total data cases were 1,760, of which 656 were natural disasters and 1,104 were social disasters. The disasters were then patternized according to their characteristics. The patterning was conducted to set up the disaster and safety data system designed to keep disaster situations under prompt and effective management. The study analyzed the data associated with the activities in the response and recovery stages according to the disaster type. Furthermore, based on the management activities performed with the flow of time following a disaster, this study classified and proposed disaster and safety data patterns to achieve effective disaster management work by analyzing the characteristics of a disaster and safety data and disaster and safety management procedures. Disasters of high similarity were classified by merging and deleting them. This was done to consider the scalability and mutual linkage so that it can be used in the establishment of national statistical data, such as the disaster annual report and disaster annuity.

People can't be free from the panic of flood, war and terrorism which could be fatal for people's life and property in modern society. It is the most important thing that provide food and residence for suffers in disaster areas. When disaster occurred, the emergency public facilities would be the first place that the people stay. However, these also could be destroyed by disaster. In that case, emergency tents or containers could be the major residence for disaster suffers. Because the only concern for planning temporary residence is the matter of supply and efficiency, it is no longer useful after the disaster end. Therefore, temporary residence as well as general residence should be on the basis of social and cultural factors as well as basic and physiological factors. It is very crucial to study the model of temporary residence. It could be the fundamental and necessary for the human being in order to prepare the natural disaster and grand scale accident. The main purpose for this study is examining the temporary residence that satisfy the fundamental, social and cultural factors for disaster sufferers.

Along with rapid economic growth and enhanced agricultural productivity, particulate matter emissions in the northern cities of Thailand have been increasing for the past two decades. This trend is expected to continue in the coming decade. Emissions of particulate matter have brought about a series of public health concerns, particularly chronic respiratory diseases. It is well known that lung cancer incidence among northern Thai women is one of the highest in Asia (an annual age-adjusted incidence rate of 37.4 per 100,000). This fact has aroused serious concern among the public and the government and has drawn much attention and interest from the scientific community. To investigate the potential causes of this relatively high lung cancer incidence, this study employed Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) transmission spectroscopy to identify the chemical composition of the $PM_{2.5}$ collected using Quartz Fibre Filters (QFFs) coupled with MiniVol$^{TM}$ portable air samplers (Airmetrics). $PM_{2.5}$ samples collected in nine administrative provinces in northern Thailand before and after the "Haze Episode" in 2013 were categorised based on three-dimensional plots of a principal component analysis (PCA) with Varimax rotation. In addition, the incremental lifetime exposure to $PM_{2.5}$ of both genders was calculated, and the first derivative of the FTIR spectrum of individual samples is here discussed.

Global warming affects climate change and has an overall impact on all aspects of life. On the other hand, community behavior and disaster aspects also have an important role in people's lives. This will also have an impact on regional development. This study aims to find the effect of climate, disaster, and social community on rural development. This study uses data on the potential of rural development from PODES 2014, and 2018 data collection on climate conditions and regional status is sourced from relevant ministries. This research uses Ordinary Least Square (OLS) Regression Analysis method, then continued with CHAID analysis to find the segmentation of the role of climate, disaster, and social factors on rural development. The results of this study found that all research regressor variables significantly influence the Rural Development Index (IPD2018), with an R-squared value of 32.9 percent. Efforts need to be taken in order to implement policies that are targeted, effective, and efficient. The results of this study can be a reference for the government in determining policies by focusing on rural development that have high duration of sunshine, cultivating natural disaster warnings, especially in areas prone to natural disasters, and need to focus on underdeveloped areas.

Purpose: The Iri station explosion that occurred in 1977 was a major social disaster in Korea, caused by a fire in a train equipped with explosives. The purpose of this study was to investigate the social disaster adaptation experiences of railroad workers. Methods: This study was based on qualitative research using phenomenological methodology. Participants were six railroad workers who experienced the Iri station explosion. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with individual workers from March to June, 2018. The data analysis method was based on Colaizzi's approach. Results: Experiences of railroad workers were categorized into 12 themes and the following 6 theme clusters: (1) Anxiety due to the extreme vibration and crash, (2) Terror regarding the horrible situation that one cannot face, (3) Anger about the cause of the explosion and a sense of relief about survival, (4) Confusion regarding different rumors, (5) Various efforts to return to daily life, and (6) Trauma that continues to exist. Conclusion: The findings of this study recommend that railroad organizations and managers should pay attention to enhance disaster preparedness and develop organizational disaster coping guidelines for members. The results of this study can help us to better understand the various aspects of the Iri station explosion of 1977.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the Citizen-Corps-Active-In-Disaster (CAIND) according to a new viewpoint based on changes in basic theoretical concepts and establish a development plan. Methods: A documentary survey was administered, and the study followed the technical approach method. Detailed information on CAIND was taken from scholarly monographs, specialty publications, and previous studies, including master and doctorate dissertations. Results: CAIND may be defined as legal auxiliary organizations composed of local residents who volunteer to prepare for "all kinds of disasters as well as prevention activities" and instill the ideology of "leading service organizations of safety as a form of community involvement," "resident-friendly organizational activities based on autonomous operation," and "performing activities which supplement their demands according to the realization of social welfare and regional conditions." Conclusion: The newly established basic theoretical concept included the concepts of "professionalism and possibilities," "social expandability," "voluntary participation," and "the realization and complementation of social welfare"

Standardization of disaster safety lexicon is important as the most basic process for successful accident prevention and response. A lack of understanding of disaster safety lexicon leads lack of communication and information sharing, which can be a problem in communicating with appropriate responses in case of a disaster. Currently disaster and safety control agencies produce and manage heterogeneous information and they also develop and use word dictionaries individually. To solve this problem, identifying differences of disaster safety lexicon patterns by the user are essential for standardization. In this paper, we conducted lexicon patterns analysis based on social media and revealed the characteristics according to pattern types. At the result, we proposed the standardization and construction methods of disaster safety word dictionary.

The purpose of this study is to suggest the strategies of building disaster resistant communities to overcome communities destruction and vulnerability caused by the Hebei Spirit oil spill accident in Taean on December 7th, 2007. For accomplishing the purpose, we drew problems of approach based on context of community, governance strategy, and community-based approach. And based on the results of this analysis, suggestions were made as follows for building disaster resistant communities. First, when Hebei Spirit oil spill accident occurred we have been short of regional study and unreality of regional safety plan. For overcoming this points, we have need of activation of regional study and establishment of regional safety plan based on the bottom-up approach. Second, while the spill has brought a milestone activation of volunteer, we have not still efficient disaster management based on governance. So we have to establish network-governance to cooperate with government-business-private sector for efficient disaster management. Third, we argue that it is important to build social capital such as social networks, social contacts for community-based disaster resistant communities.

Location-based services play an important role in many applications such as disaster warning systems and recommendation systems. These applications often require not only location information (e.g., name, latitude, longitude, etc.) but also the impact of events (e.g., earthquake, typhoon, etc.) on locations. Recently, to provide the impact of an event on a location, how to calculate location trustiness by using multimodal information such as earthquake information and disaster sensor data is researched. In the previous approach, the linear decrement of impact value of an event is applied to obtain the location trustiness of a specific location. In this paper, we propose a new approach to enrich location trustiness, that is, the impact of an event on a location, by using social media information additionally. Firstly, we design a collecting system for earthquake information and social media data. Secondly, we present an approach of location trustiness calculation based on earthquake information. Finally, we propose a new approach to enrich location trustiness by augmenting the trustiness in spatially distributed manner based on social media.

This study was a descriptive survey study for nursing college students to identify disaster awareness, attitude, disaster preparation, nursing professionals, social support, and disaster nursing capabilities, and to prepare measures to improve disaster nursing capabilities by identifying predictors of disaster nursing capabilities. Data collection was collected from 160 nursing students in G-do from March 27 to April 7, 2023, and a total of 158 copies were finally analyzed. Using the SPSS Win. 25.0 program, technical statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and hierarchical multiple regression were analyzed. The result show that fourth grade(β=.20, p=.027), disaster nursing education is 'existent'(β=.15, p=.041), disaster readiness(β=.27, p<.001) nursing professional(β=.21, p=.012) was found to be a significant predictor of disaster nursing competency. Disaster preparation was found to be the best predictor of disaster nursing competency, followed by "nursing professionals," "fourth grade," and "disaster nursing education" with 26.3% of explanatory power. According to the findings of this study, it is necessary to develop an integrated education program for disaster nursing practice that can enhance awareness of disasters, attitudes toward disasters, disaster preparation, nursing professionals, and social support.
