Rapid economic growth in Korea, on the other side, has generated increase of multiple complex dangers. To take off dangers scattered in the Korean society and to conduct safe society for better life, it is needed to develop social safety index. Social safety index analyzed by time series could compare and estimate various social disasters, thus it act as the foundation to set up safety policy. The research has focused on 8 social safety indexes; natural disaster, fire, traffic accident, crime, industry accident, forest fire, collapse and explosion, and environmental pollution. To find out Korean society safety index analyzed by time series, the research analyzed changes of each safety indexes in 10 years since 1994. Looking at the changes of each indexes, traffic accident showed the most improvement overall the nation, with industrial accident and collapse and explosion rating second and third place. However, crime, fire and natural disaster get worse, and especially crime has turned worsened than any other divisions.

Recently our country was entering a high-tech society with social and economic development. However, the individual's ability to respond to disasters is lowered by the increase in complexity society. Accurate situation assessment and disaster response by a margin of personal information that can identify when a disaster has been difficult. Until now, by leveraging Standard speaker was the emergency alert broadcast. However, it was difficult to have regular speakers reverberation, a distinct attenuation of sound by listening to the sound, etc. due to the reflection of sound. By using a directional speaker that is characteristic of the sound attenuation of sound is straight to solve this problem and obtain feedback on measures that can effectively provide the oocytes to a valid information on a disaster situation and the evacuation.

In this study, we set the need, purpose, and the direction of developments in life-saving devices and analyzed the disaster sites where power-assisted devices are to be applied. For this purpose, we classified the disaster in accordance with the Basic Law for on Disaster and Safety Management and analyzed the common disaster sites where power-assisted devices are available. As a result, 13 disaster sites were classified into three categories. Firstly, 8 sites of social disaster accidents, fire(suppression), fire(rescue), collapse, traffic accidents, explosion, CBR(chemical, biological, and radiological), environment pollution, and other safety accidents, were defined. Secondly, 4 disaster accidents, earthquake, flood, typhoon and other natural disasters, were classified. Finally, other disaster sites were taken into account.

Many hidden aspects of society around the world that has been lurking as risk factors have been ultimately connected to disasters. Such connection did not just stop with massive damages to properties and loss of lives but became a serious social issue. Especially in the case for Korea, because the country has gone through abrupt economic growth which has resulted in rapid urbanization and expansion of economic scale, Korea has been caught in a vicious cycle of experiencing human and social calamities repeatedly. Due to the seriousness of such problem, there's been continued research in various fields for managing disasters, and the domain of knowledge has been expanding with complexity. The following study went beyond the perspectives of disaster prevention study, disaster prevention engineering and social sciences suggested from previous research directions in disaster and disaster prevention, and attempted an alternative research method by approaching from a service design perspective. During the process, the paper looked over the summary on disaster and service design. By applying it on disaster prevention projects, the research sets forth and discusses effective and practical disaster prevention service design. Through specific case studies, the research methodology applied was verified, and the purpose of the study was carried out in the perspective of real world applications different from textbook type discussions. It is expected that through the disaster prevention service design process and platform that were discovered during the research result, defining and understanding disaster prevention service design will be made apparent. Additionally, the research is expected to be used as a basic building block for building a visualized plan for tangible and intangible factors related to disasters before the disaster process through such proposed disaster prevention service design.

Due to the recent surge in natural disasters, with rising social concerns, investment on research & development (R&D) project in natural disaster mitigation area is continuously increasing. However, current R&D performance management system of natural disaster mitigation area does not properly reflect characteristics and social ripple effects of R&D projects. It is indicated that mainly due to the current performance index consists of easy-quantification factors and the performance evaluation system adopts simple aggregation method. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop new performance evaluation system considering characteristics and social ripple effects of natural disaster mitigation R&D projects. To this ends, this study derived 3-dimensional performance measurement index through literature review and natural disaster mitigation R&D projects analysis. Finally, based on the derived performance measurement index, this study suggested new and effective performance evaluation system for natural disaster mitigation R&D projects.

Large scale flood disasters bring human losses and properties, which lead to the decrease of our productive value and change social environment. Human loss and economic damage are considered to be the same system but they are viewed as separated systems. The total amount of human loss can be represented as the total amount of economic damage estimated in the frame of social system while it will be possible to make mutual changing by clearing the relations between social and economic systems. In this regard, an attempt to estimate economic loss considering per capita Gross Domestic Production (GDP) caused by flood-related mortality was carried out to the typhoon Rusa of 2002 in Kangwon-do. The proposed method tried to capture quantitative factors which are affecting the loss of per capita GDP. The approach has great importance not only to set up governmental policy but also methodological progress in the research due to impact of disaster-related mortality on GDP loss.

Resilience has been suggested as a new paradigm of disaster management which reduces losses against disasters under the uncertain circumstances. The purpose of this study is to define the concept and to set up the objectives of urban resilience for disaster management. The common concept and components of resilience were analyzed by examining recent studies on resilience. The resilience was defined as "a capacity of physical and social urban elements adapting and recovering against disaster for better condition" and the five objectives of resilience - Robustness, Redundancy, Resourcefulness, Rapidity, and Regional Competency - were derived from the review of literatures. The major disasters and accidents were analyzed focused on those objectives. The concept and objectives of urban resilience could be used as a guidance for disaster prevention planning and disaster management processes.
