  • As recent Jecheon and Milyang fire cases show, the need for fire disaster training to prepare for a fire disaster continues to grow. In the event of a disaster, people become mentally confused and are called disaster personalities. In order to survive in a disaster, it is necessary to develop the power to overcome the disaster personality by experiencing the disaster situation in advance. Therefore, training to overcome disaster personality is needed, and virtual reality can be a good training means in that it can experience without physical space. In addition, periodic actual disaster evacuation drills should be carried out to compensate for the shortcomings of virtual reality. In order to introduce fire disaster drill using virtual reality and to spread it to the public, the Korea National VR project should be introduced which benchmarked national PC project which succeeded in the past informatization project. Besides, the Korea National Safety Point system should be integrated to cover disaster preparedness training and building reinforcement. If the national VR project and the national safety point system are introduced successfully, Korea will be the basis for escaping the disgraceful nickname of 'disaster republic'.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 안전행동과 사고 발생을 예측하고 관리하기 위해 안전성향검사 도구를 개발하고 타당도를 검증하는 것이었다. 안전 심리 분야에서 근로자의 안전 행동에 영향을 미치는 주요 변인으로 안전 리더십과 안전 문화에 대한 연구들이 많이 진행되어 왔다. Lewin에 따르면 Behavior = Person * Environment으로 환경은 물리적 환경(기계, 장비 등)과 심리-사회적(psyco-social) 환경(안전 리더십/문화)으로 구분할 수 있다. 하지만 국내의 경우 근로자 개인 특성이 안전 수행에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 부족하였다. 개인 특성 중 일관되게 행동에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 변인이 성격이고, Lee 등(2018)은 개인 성격이 안전/불안전 행동에 영향을 미칠 확률은 35% 이상이며, 불안전 행동으로 한정해 보면 50% 이상이라고 하였다. 그리고 불안전한 행동으로 인한 사고는 비교적 소수의 직원에 의해 발생한다고 하였다(Clarke & Robertson 2008). 따라서 안전/불안전 행동을 예측할 수 있는 성격 특성을 검증하여, 직원 선발이나 재직자 코칭에 활용한다면 산업 재해 예방에 도움이 될 수 있다

  • Recently, increases in major disasters such as fires, earthquakes and typhoons have raised public expectations for safety. In addition to this increase in expectations of safety, the government continues to push for more manpower and better treatment for firefighters who are operating in the disaster scene. Despite the improvement of working conditions and increased welfare for firefighters, however, the incidence and turnover of various mental diseases continues to increase. It is reported that many of the diseases such as post-traumatic stress disorder and the turnover of firefighters are due to a mismatch in individual's personality and work environment. In this study, 108 firefighters were evaluated for their vocational aptitude in the new curriculum. Based on the analysis results, new firefighters were proposed to provide employment and education training improvements, and to provide job security suitable for the individual's personality type through the introduction of the vocational aptitude test for firefighters who are working in the fire service. In addition, we would like to use the vocational aptitude test as a material for reducing post-traumatic stress disorder and increasing turnover through long-term tracking and observation, rather than from a one-off perspective.

  • Objectives : The aim of this study was to investigate Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)-related symptom severity, level of functional impairment and personality profiles between full-blown PTSD, partial PTSD and non-PTSD groups among 59 adolescent survivals from the Incheon fire disaster. Method : Using Short Screening Scale for DSM-IV PTSD, victims of the disaster were assigned to a full-blown PTSD group (n=18), a partial PTSD (n=22), or a non-PTSD group (n=19). Assessments included the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), the Impact of Event Scales (IES), the McBride's Degree of General Labor Loss, and the Korean Version of Temperament and Character Inventory (K-TCI). Results : Significantly severe PTSD symptoms (F=4.832, df=2, p<.05) and functional impairment (F=12.144, df=2, p<.01) were demonstrated by PTSD groups as compared to the non-PTSD group. Interestingly, full and partial PTSD did not differ in these comparisons. Similarly, the subtypes of PTSD did not differ with respect to personality profiles using the K-TCI ; however, personality profiles were sharply differentiated between the PTSD and non-PTSD group. Conclusion : Although high subject homogeneity and small sample size may limit the results of this study, the present results highlight the possibility of the underestimation as well as the insufficient, treatment and compensation of partial vs full PTSD.

  • This study attempted to explore how the perception of the necessity of safety education for adolescents affects fire safety consciousness and whether personality factors control the relationship. To this end, a survey was conducted at a high school in region C, and data of 1,049 people who agreed to the survey and responded faithfully were used for analysis. Hayes' macro was used to analyze the moderating effect, and as a result of the analysis, adolescents' awareness of the need for safety education increased, and their relationship was significantly regulated by extroversion, openness, and conscientiousness among the five personality factors. A simple regression line analysis was conducted to find out the specific direction, and it was found that the higher the need for safety education in both the group with high extroversion, openness, and conscientiousness, the higher the awareness of safety education. These results suggest that changes in educational methods and contents are needed to raise awareness of the necessity of education in fire safety education and to improve educational motivation, and that it may be helpful to actively utilize students' personality strengths in education.

  • The negative influence by disaster on human's life could be so tremendous. I like to give attention to the disaster, considerable many cases, that disaster was used as stimulation or motivation for artist's creativity, especially in the film among various art activities. The reason I focus on disaster through art activities is disaster is closely related to human's daily life and also aesthetic consciousness. I like to look into the flood disasters' appearances described in the both films, and and the people's aesthetic consciousness expressed from the flood disasters. In the traditional education of the East. 'cultivation' has been used as the meaning of self education which develops mostly one's personality by doing self practice, and self insight meditation. And In the modern western education, cultivation has been identified as the meaning of unique mission, that each human being expresses one's own individuality, that is personality, progressively. I think 'the aesthetic ' already immanence in human's mind. Analysis for The beauty of Kant is also starts from special nature, delightfulness. The aesthetic doesn't appears in sight easely because it always exists in one's bottom of heart like mist. That's the reason we try to reach to the aesthetic through the medium, that's art. Human can achieve aesthetic cultivation which reaches to the aesthetic by having lot of events and experiences in the process.

  • Hate crimes should be viewed as a social problem, not a personal crime, and a preventive system should be established to have an acceptance system for people who can engage in antisocial behavior outside of the social integrated value norms. In particular, in order to reduce tragic hate crimes, society and the government should actively work to resolve polarization, and personality education linked to families, schools, and society should be provided, and policies to establish social safety network such as social security systems should be prepared. In addition, it is necessary to switch to a society in which principles are emphasized, and a society that cares for the weak rather than the strong, rather than the expedient policy of words.

  • As defined by the experts, safety education is the basic method through which people can protect themselves from the dangers in workplace. Therefore, safety education is an important safety measure that can be effectively utilized in disaster prevention without any certain limit. The current practice of safety education in construction sites, however, is all formal and has no substance. Safety education became a mere boring time to workers since the material is not related to them, and does not reflect the individual personalities, which cannot induce voluntary participation of workers. Thus, it is vital to develop various safety education models suitable for individual personalities of construction workers. This study aims to provide the basic data necessary to establish safety education models according to individual personalities of construction workers. Based on the analysis of the preliminary stuff and interviews, the typical individual personalities of construction workers and safety education factors were examined, and the frameworks for each were established. Based on results of applying them to actual cases, directions to improve safety education in construction sites are presented.

  • School is the place where teenagers spend most of their time, forming friendships and receiving guidance from the teachers. Their life in school is a procedure of learning lessons before advancing into the society. However, in this place of learning, misdeeds such as violence, extortion and bullying are actually happening, some of which developing into suicide, murder and prostitution. For this reason, violence in school, especially, raises concerns as a serious social problem these days. Therefore, this study suggests more practical improvement programs to solve the problem of the violence in school, by first investigating the concept and the actual situation of school violence, and by better understanding the problems resulted from the school violence. The researchers of the study suggest as follows: First is about strengthening the education that builds students' personality, where we investigate the methods of personality education that suit with the current situation and suggest what is necessary to improve them. The second is about expansion of the functioning of families and of the educational role of the household heads, where we argue the importance of education in the family in addition to the education in school, and we suggest the right way for the parents to discipline their children. The third is about expansion of counseling professionals and improving social environment, where we explain the importance of counseling professionals in preventing and solving the issues in school violence and suggest expansion of these professionals and also suggest installation and operation of dedicated counseling room in schools. The fourth is about use of school sheriffs, where we suggest dispatching school sheriffs nationwide and fully use them as a countermeasure against school violence.
