This study aimed to analyze the changes in underwater anxiety and water safety consciousness among college students through participation in survival swimming education and the relationship between these changes and various factors. To achieve this, 200 college students who were participating in survival swimming education from universities located in the Busan-Ulsan-Gyeongnam region were selected as participants using convenience sampling. Among them, a final valid sample of 191 students was utilized. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 25.0 statistical software, including exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, paired sample t-test, repeated measures ANOVA. The results are as follows: Firstly, college students who participated in survival swimming education showed a decrease in post-test underwater anxiety and an increase in water safety consciousness compared to pre-test. Secondly, the interaction between the groups based on the presence or absence of swimming education experience and time showed a significant effect only in the safety education, a sub-factor of water safety consciousness. Based on these results, the effectiveness of survival swimming education for college students could be confirmed, and further directions for expanding survival swimming education in university settings could be considered.

Farm economy is getting worse because of the free trade trends in agriculture sector and unreasonable application of market economy principles to agricultural products. And The worldwide issues of environmental pollution as well as want of food, water and energy make human future be anxious. In addition, consumers raise questions in argument about safety of foods produced by traditional farming or imported. So I propose the urban-rural living community movement(URLCM) as an alternative plan for sustainable domestic agriculture. URLCM based on environmentally friendly agriculture and community consciousness will be able to solve many of present issues on agriculture and rural society through incessant interchanges between urban and rural community. This URLCM has to be basically founded on principles of symbiosis-coexistence and life circulation. So those that have to be driven forward arc organizing producers and consumer cooperatives, making environmentally friendly rural region and products, combining with consumer cooperatives, training the participants and so forth.

Purpose: Construction sites are currently facing a socialization problem as the incidence of thermal disease-related disasters increases due to summer heat waves, exacerbated by factors like the concentration of middle-aged and older workers and global warming. The reason why construction sites are particularly vulnerable to heat waves is that there are many outdoor work, which is the peculiarity of the construction industry, and most of the construction workers are elderly. This study analyzes disaster statistics of workers at construction sites for five years to investigate the occurrence of thermal diseases and analyze factors through disaster cases to provide basic data for future disasters to be reduced. Research design, data, and methodology: According to the Construction Workers' Mutual Aid Association, as of June, more than 60% of the construction workers working in the field were in their 50s and 60s. More than 24% are in their 60s and older. Thermal diseases caused by heat waves occur when exposed to high heat or strong sunlight for a long time, accompanied by headaches and dizziness. The problem is that many elderly people have underlying diseases, so if they lose consciousness, they cannot easily recover and are likely to die. Results: According to industrial accident statistics, 182 people were injured by heat-related diseases in the summer from 2016 to 2021, of which 29 died. In particular, in the construction industry, which has a lot of outdoor work, 87 people were injured and 20 people died. Conclusions: In order to prevent heat diseases caused by outdoor work, it is emphasized that exposure time is controlled, and sufficient rest and hydration are essential. Rest, water, and shade are in line with the three principles.

This study utilized the Delphi technique to derive results by gathering opinions from experts, analyzing the problems in university survival swimming education, and seeking improvement methods. The conclusions of this study revealed several issues in university survival swimming education. From the perspective of instructors, the lack of expertise and certification in survival swimming was identified as a problem. From a program standpoint, discrepancies between educational content and real-world applications led to decreased practicality. Regarding facilities, the absence of swimming pools within universities was highlighted as a major issue. Proposed solutions included mandatory completion of instructor certification courses to address instructor-related issues. For program improvements, conducting education in environments similar to real-world scenarios was suggested. In terms of facilities, there was a call for expanding swimming facilities within universities. It is anticipated that addressing the identified problems and implementing proposed solutions will lead to more systematic and professional education. Furthermore, it is believed that addressing changeability and hopefulness, and continuously improving based on them, will positively impact the establishment of societal safety consciousness and, ultimately, enhance awareness of water safety.

풍수해로부터 안전한 지역사회를 만들기 위해서는 국가적인 대책과 함께 지역내 사회구성원이 풍수해에 대한 사전대비의 중요성 인식과 피해를 최소화 시켜야한다는 사회적 인식이 강화되어야 한다. 그러나 농촌의 경우, 지역 개발 정책이 우선순위에 있어 농촌의 풍수해 예방정책이 후순위에 있는 경우가 많다. 더욱이 농촌의 풍수해 피해는 유사한 지역에서 반복적으로 발생하는 유형을 가지고 있으며, 지리 지형적, 고령화 인구 비중 등 사회적으로 풍수해에 취약한 지역이다. 또한 농촌 주민들 또한 예방보다는 풍수해 발생 후 복구에 대한 대책이 풍수해 대책이라 생각하는 인식을 지니고 있다. 실제로 농촌주민의 안전 불감증은 인터뷰 및 설문조사를 통해 나타났으며, 재난 대책에 대해 이장 혹은 관공서 직원에게만 의존하는 등 풍수해대비에 대해 무지하고 낙관적인 태도를 지니고 있었다. 농촌 주민의 재난 대응에 대한 무지와 무관심등의 인식 변화를 고려하지 않은 채 구조적인 차원의 대응은 풍수해의 예방에 있어 한계성이 발생한다. 농촌의 재난에 대한 인식변화는 주민들의 구조 및 체제에 대한 태도를 변화하게 함으로 써 보다 실효성 있는 변화를 가능하게 한다. 그러나 현 재난 대책에서는 농촌 주민의 재난대책 등에 대한 의식의 반영이 미비하며, 수준에 대한 정확한 측정 또한 어려운 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 농촌주민의 재난안전 의식의 고취를 위해 현재의 주민의 재난안전 의식의 수준과 실태를 파악할 수 있는 측정도구를 모색하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서 개발된 측정도구를 통해 농촌 주민의 재난안전의식에 측정 결과에 따른 각각 개선방향이 도출되어 농촌의 풍수해 대비 재난 대책에 대한 실효성이 증가될 것으로 기대된다.
