  • In this study, a study was presented on the monitoring technique of landslide area using UAV. In the case of disaster investigation using drone mapping, it can be used at various disaster sites. The mission can be carried out at various disaster sites, including surveys of damage to mountainous areas caused by landslides, building collapses surveys of flood damage, typhoons, earthquakes. The damage investigation plan using drone mapping is expected to be highly utilized at disaster sites where investigators cannot access it like in mountainous areas and where it is difficult to conduct direct damage investigations at the site. Drone mapping technology has many advantages in terms of disaster follow-up, such as recovery. Compared to the existing survey system, which was mainly carried out manually, the investigation time can be drastically reduced, and it can also respond to disaster sites that are difficult to carry out or are difficult to access directly. In addition, it is possible to establish and guide spatial data at the disaster site based on accurate mapping data from the time of the disaster, which has considerable strength in managing the situation of the disaster site, selecting priority areas for recovery, and establishing recovery plans. As such, drone mapping is a technology that can be used in a wide range of sites along with natural disasters and social disasters. If a damage investigation system is established through this, it is believed that it will contribute significantly to the rapid establishment of recovery plans along with the investigation of disaster response time and extent of damage recovery.

  • The frequency of natural disasters because of global warming is gradually increasing, risks of flooding due to typhoon and torrential rain have also increased. Among these causes, the roads are flooded by suddenly torrential rain, and then vehicle and personal injury are happening. In this respect, because of the possibility that immersion of a road may occur in a second, it is necessary to study the rapid data collection and quick response system. Our research proposes a big data analysis system based on the collected information and a variety of system information collection methods for searching flooded road areas by torrential rains. The data related flooded roads are utilized the SNS data, meteorological data and the road link data, etc. And the big data analysis system is implemented the distributed processing system based on the Hadoop platform.

  • Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which was first identified in Wuhan, China, in late December of 2019 is rapidly spreading across the globe. The South Korean government has ordered the closure of all schools, as part of its attempts to use social distancing measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The effects of the school closures on reducing contagion are generally positive; however, the measure is controversial because of the socioeconomic ripple effect that accompanies it. The author briefly reviewed the existing literature on the mental health aspects of disasters and presents the issues related to school closures due to pandemics, from medical and socioeconomic perspectives and in terms of children's mental health. The results of this review suggest that research on children's mental health in relation to the adoption of school closures as a pandemic mitigation strategy is urgently needed.

  • The purpose of this study is to ascertain the demands for developing marine science technology to reduce fatalities caused by marine accidents. For this purpose, we analyzed the contents of about 77,000 news articles posted for a month after the tragedy of the Sewol (April 16~May 15) to identify keywords and then we used the Social Network Analysis (SNA) for each keyword. The findings of the analysis show that there are five networks and that each one reveals different aspects about technology development to prepare for marine accidents. Based on these findings, we categorized three kinds of demands for technology development from the perspective of marine science technology: provision of the information about the marine environment, development of equipment and technology to overcome extreme environments, and the establishment of a field support system.

  • The Korean government adopted the integrated stream water management policy recently with growing perception that natural disasters and pollution in Korea have been due not only to such human factors as urbanization and industrialization, but also to the policy of functionally separated management of irrigation, flood control and ecological management. Contrary to its good intention, research result shows that it is not realistic to expect that this new integrated policy in Korea will work well. In order to be an effective policy and program evaluation, this paper suggests that evaluation indicator on related programs and projects should be made through bottom-up process. For example, environmental benefit should be taken into account rather than just economic benefit, and cultural and social characteristics in the project region should be also considered seriously.

  • Libraries are public institutions in charge of information distribution. Libraries need to secure sustainability in providing services so that they can contribute to social integration even in disaster situations. The recent spread of the Corona 19 virus has negatively affected the operation of libraries and libraries have suspended services and users' visits to prevent possible infections. This study intends to examine responses of domestic and foreign libraries to the unexpected disasters, and also presents measures to ensure sustainability and considerations in establishing these measures.

  • The current railway projects under plan, design, or construction have been designed as 'very long and deep underground tunnel'. Therefore, it is reasonable that the standards for preventing disaster in such conditions should be intensified in order to avoid repeating the same failure which happened in Daegu subway disaster, Although we consent to the opinion that nothing can compete with human being's life, it is very difficult to protect the life from all of potential disasters perfectly in railway fields because the excessive standards can result in excess construction cost, which can bring about cancelation of the project itself eventually. Therefore optimized disaster design standard is required to negotiate the conflict between economical cost and social tolerance limitation simultaneously.

  • The construction industry is one of the most prolific disaster-prone industries, particularly those that suffer from falling disasters compared to other industries. The safety accident at the construction site leads to social problems caused by massive loss of life and property, so it needs to be extra careful. The reason why falls are the most frequent accidents of the types of construction accidents is due to the analysis of the risk factors of safety accidents and the development of various construction methods. Therefore, in this study, the accident case for the fallen victims of construction site was analyzed and the risk factor was selected. Based on the safety expert survey, an importance analysis was performed. In conclusion, this study analyzes various risk factors that affect the occurrence of falls, identifies the importance of each factor, and presents basic data for safety accident prevention activities.
