On behalf of hazard mitigation, cases of investigation methods on levee are described. In general, failures of levee are caused by piping, water leakage through ground under the levee in Kimpo, Ilsan etc. Several phenomena against levees should be protected through consideration of analysis and quality control stage during construction. In this paper, protection methods against failures should be investigated by case studies.

최근 기후변화에 따라 여름철 태풍, 호우와 겨울철 대설, 한파 등의 기상재난이 증가하고 있다. 대설재난은 교통, 건물, 시설물 등에 다양한 피해를 발생시키기 때문에 신속한 대처가 필요하다. 대설재난이 도시안전에 영향을 주고 있으나 우리나라의 대설재난 대처는 미흡하고, 정책 연구도 부족한 상황이다. 본 연구는 대설재난이 발생할 때 신속한 도로 제설을 위하여 제설차량과 장비에 GPS 기술을 활용한 사례를 분석하고, 시사점을 도출한다. 도로 제설장비에 GPS 장비를 부착하면 긴급 상황시 제설차량과 장비의 위치를 파악하여 인근지역의 도로 제설을 응원할 수 있다. 본 연구의 사례 분석은 향후 지자체 제설장비의 효율적 이용을 위해 활용될 수 있다.

Governments intend to use the public warning system to deliver timely and accurate information using accessible communication technologies for protecting the population and reducing damage to life and property. In particular, many countries implement system interworking with smartphones to notify of disasters or emergencies. In Korea, since 2020, due to the influence of the coronavirus disease, frequent emergency text messages led people to turn off related notifications, and complaints for receiving irrelevant messages from nearby warning areas have increased. Therefore, technical improvements for issuing more accurate disaster information to a specific region should be devised through a geography-based emergency disaster message transmission service. We analyze development trends of public warning systems and service cases of geography-based emergency text transmission services in various countries.

산업 재해가 지속적으로 증가하고 있으며, 이에 따라 다양한 ICT 기술을 활용하여 산업현장에서 재해 발생 경감을 위한 노력이 진행되어왔다. 본 연구에서는 작업자 안전을 위한 loT 기반 시스템과 챗봇을 이용한 작업자와 대화형 안전 관리 기술에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 기존의 챗봇의 활용은 홈페이지에서 단순한 매뉴얼 정보를 대화형으로 제공하는 수준에서 머무르고 있는데 반하여 본 사업에서는 작업자의 헬멧 등 장비에 장착된 인터페이스를 통하여 챗봇을 통한 안전관리를 제공할 수 있는 것이다.

The rainfall characteristics such as heavy rains are changing differently from the past, and uncertainties are also greatly increasing due to climate change. In addition, urban development and population concentration are aggravating flood damage. Since the causes of urban inundation are generally complex, it is very important to establish an appropriate flood prevention plan. Thus, the government in Korea is establishing standards for disaster prevention performance for each local government. Since the concept of the disaster prevention performance target was first presented in 2010, the setting standards have changed several times, but the overall technology, methodology, and procedures have been maintained. Therefore, in this study, studies and technologies related to urban disaster prevention performance were reviewed using the scientometric analysis method to review them. This analysis is a method of identifying trends in the field and deriving new knowledge and information based on data such as papers and literature. In this study, papers related to the disaster prevention performance of the Web of Science for the last 30 years from 1990 to 2021 were collected. Citespace, scientometric software, was used to identify authors, research institutes, countries, and research trends, including citation analysis. As a result of the analysis, consideration factors such as the the concept of asset evaluation were identified when making decisions related to urban disaster prevention performance. In the future, it is expected that prevention performance standards and procedures can be upgraded if the keywords are specified and the review of each technology is conducted.

Regional torrential rains in summer this year due to abnormal climate changes compared to last year, have been frequent. Since Typhoon Rusa and Typhoon Maemi resulted in major damage to railroad facilities in 2002 and 2003 consecutively, problems with abnormal climate changes became a global problem including railroad and floods and droughts around the globe, heavy snow and winter warming have been repeated until now. Serious problem of radiation leakage in Fukushima nuclear power plant by the Tsunami due to 9.0-scale earthquake, this year in March, in northeastern Japan happened, and has given an impact on the life of Japanese citizens and industries and has also influenced on Korean. This shows how important to secure and to protect major national facilities including railroad structures to natural disasters such as earthquake. Therefore, we will briefly discuss about technologies for securing and protecting railroad structures to earthquakes, floods and other natural disasters.

During last 30 years, Korea economy has grown so fast and many leading-edge technologies ware introduced from the advanced countries. but this fast growth inevitably produced imperfect completion of infrastructures and caused man-made catastrophes like Sungsu Bridge and Sampoong Department Store. After the incidents, Korea Government and National Assembly established "The Special Law for Safety Maintenance of Infrastructures". According to this law, most of infrastructures must be inspected periodically. During last 10 years after the establishment of the law, many infrastructures were improved and the quality of construction was upgraded. However, important and weak-to-disaster infrastructures need to be watched continuously. Many monitoring technologies were developed and tested in the field. In this paper, the new research project "Establishment of Testbed of Safety Management Network for Main Infrastructures", funded by government, was introduced.

A variety of systems have been attempted for effective urban management. In this paper, we introduce integrated urban management system (IUMS), which mainly consists of optical line terminal (OLT), optical network terminal (ONTs) and wireless access points (APs), by combining passive optical network (PON) and radio over fiber (RoF) technologies so as to take advantages of both two systems. Further, several IUMS services including disaster detection and prevention system (DDPS), bus information system (BIS) and real time location system (RTLS) are demonstrated in order to employ IUMS for the realization of future ubiquitous city (U-city).

The emergence of the Smart Grid is an integrated solution for the next generation power system that combines IT technology in the power system to create optimal energy utilization and various services. However, these convergence technologies (power systems and information communications) are not only improving the related technologies but also producing various problems especially exposure to cyber risk. In particular, the intelligent power grid has security vulnerabilities through real-time information sharing among various organically linked systems, and it is more complicated than the cyber risk problem in the existing IT field and is directly connected to national disaster accidents. Therefore, in order to construct and operate a more stable smart grid, this paper analyzes the system of power system control system in Korea, and proposes a cyber security element definition and a countermeasure establishment method of power monitoring & control systems based on security standards of smart grid (No. SPS-SGSF-121-1-1).
