COVID-19 Archives are some of the Disaster Archives. It is necessary to collect disaster records produced in real-time at the disaster scene rather than start collecting records after the disaster recovery. Therefore, this study summarized the definition and purpose of disaster archives to understand the current status of domestic and foreign COVID-19 archives and examined overseas disaster archive collection policies that can be referenced in establishing a COVID-19 archive collection policy. In addition, surveys and interviews were conducted on institutions that establish and operate related archives at home and abroad. As a result, record collection Improvement plans for the COVID-19 archive were proposed: Firstly, in terms of collection policy improvements, the essential elements identified in the survey were selected as additional collection policy elements. Secondly, diversification of participants' groups requires the introduction of clear definitions of collection targets, diversification of promotional methods such as recording record contents through collaboration with related departments, and improving copyright issues that limit record donation. Thirdly, participatory record collection methods with efficient questionnaires in participatory forms and privacy issues are proposed as improvement plans.

Many concerns have been raised for importance of disaster management after 1990's numerous urban disasters in Korea. When the primary function of government is to protect lives and property of citizens, disaster management should be included in the mainstream of public administration and many hazard countermeasures should be carried out for that purpose. The principal purpose of this research is to establish ways and means needed to improve the disaster management system in Korea. This paper is split into five chapters. Chapter I is the introduction part. Chapter II introduces the reader to a disaster management theory, and deals with various disaster management systems of foreign countries such as the U.S.A. and Japan, Chapter III describes and characterizes the Korea's current disaster management system. The Korean disaster management system has been reestablished through the enactment of the Disaster Management Act of 1995 and the full revision of Natural Hazards Management Act of 1995 after series of catastrophic man-made disasters since 1993. Chapter IV is devoted to the establishment of an effective disaster management system in Korea. In this chapter, I discusses measures needed to improve the quality of CDMB(Central Disaster Management Bureau)'s service to the people. I strongly reemphasize the effectiveness of a comprehensive risk-based, all-hazard national emergency management system that addresses preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery. To that end the Administration should develop legislation, new policies, and organizational plans to invigorate the agency with a refocussed mission. Chapter V is a conclusion. As the demand for citizens'welfare has been continuously increased in the localization, the importance of disaster management is emerging subject in the public sector. The disaster management carries out complicated affairs and manages diverse objects, the cooperation/connection system of the central-local government and citizens, and non-governmental organization should be established.

Sediment disaster happen frequently in our country every year, and a lot of lives and the properties have been lost because of them. Non-structural measures for prevention of sediment disaster have been introduced by prefectures based on the Sediment-related Disaster Prevention Law established after the devastating rainstorm damage in Hiroshima in 1999. They include formulation of sediment disaster warning and evacuation standard rainfall and designation of sediment disaster warning zones and sediment disaster special warning zones. As a practical example, this research focused on the case of "TEC-FORCE" of "MLIT of Japan" as a method of utilizing professional workforce and the sediment disaster warning information delivery system in Kagoshima. In the future, it will be called for prevention and reduction of damages by utilizing professional workforce and sediment disaster response system such as Japan.

Purpose - This paper aims to explore the distribution and application of community-based disaster risk information and employ a case study as a qualitative research method to make some implications and suggestions for disaster management in the future. Research design, data, and methodology - This research has basically adopted an idiographic approaches to examine the basic policy of integrated flood risk management of Shiga prefecture in Japan. The methodology is based on a retrospective analysis, which starts from critical events and traces backwards processes to find out what goes well or wrong. Results - The results of this paper support that the multiple stakeholders in a community have to share and distribute disaster risk information in the proper time. The distribution and application of community-based disaster risk information cannot be overemphasized in that the local communities are culturally rich in traditional flood management knowledge, have voluntary organizations and have enjoyed mutual support and human network to cope with floods. Conclusions - The study results also imply that local residents of the community will be abe to have an important role in coping with natural disasters, which involves more proactive actions than passive actions for the enhancement of disaster management.

The purpose of this study is to identify the problems of the earthquake disaster safety management in the national industrial complexes and to suggest improvement counter-measure. Literature review for the safety management system of the Korea Industrial Complex Corporation and interview with practitioners was conducted. and Seismic design application survey was conducted on 28 national industrial complexes. In order to improve Earthquake Disaster Safety Management, Counter-measures were suggested such as the reinforcement of laws and regulations related Seismic. It is expected that the improvement counter-measures presented in this study can be used as policy-making data for improving the seismic performance of the national industrial complexes in the future.

This study explores the feasibility of our proposed disaster and safety record information archiving strategy and determines several problems encountered during actual operations. For practical experiments, 55 disaster and safety related organizations are selected and the detailed steps of our archiving strategy are implemented. Based on the real disaster and safety record information acquisition results, we analyzed the challenges of the proposed strategy. Furthermore, we suggested the improvements plans in terms of policy, technical, managerial, and service-oriented so as to become a more realistic strategy.

This paper examines in depth the UN's disaster risk reduction system and framework that affect a country's disaster safety strategy and focuse on identifying the global trends in disaster risk reduction that have emerged in the Hyogo and the Sendai Framework, a disaster risk reduction strategy proposed by the UN since 2000. For this aim it attempts a theoretical review based on collecting a variety of domestic and international literatures, draws meaningful implications and suggests alternatives to a national disaster risk reduction policy. According to the analysis, the UN disaster risk reduction mechanism is UNISDR, the Secretariat is UNDRR, and the SRSG represents it, and the Sendai Framework, developed from the Hyogo Code of Conduct, a global strategy which has been for disaster safety for the past decade, will lead global disaster safety for the next decade. The policy implications drawn from the analysis of both strategies are the emphasis on consistent international coordination, strengthening resilience and an integrated and comprehensive approach. In conclusion, this paper proposes the need for a disaster risk reduction strategy to establish a resilience reinforcement system to proactively identify and cope with risk factors and to minimize impacts, to promote the coordination of international coordination and cooperation at the government level.
