This paper examines the evolving role of ijang(village representative) and his job stress during Pyeongchang floods in 2006. Results based on telephone survey and interviews reveal that ijang played a crucial role in evacuating residents, allocating resources and commanding the recovery, although official job description considered him as only a mediator between local officers and villagers. Moreover, unexpected enormous burden created severe job stress to many ijangs; while 60 percent felt like quitting the job, about three fourth felt fretful whenever the telephone rang and lost some weights. Chi-square analysis also indicated that previous job training, villagers' abuse, and disaster damages were significantly related with job stress. These results suggest that the emergent human resources model rather than the command and control model can be an effective approach for a disaster management plan in rural Korea.

It is essential that the operational system of volunteer fire brigade (VFB) playing a important role in the local disaster prevention should be effectively improved to live in safety by protecting life and property of inhabitants from a disaster. The results of this research showed that most of volunteering members of fire brigade was highly satisfied with their works and thus they voluntarily did volunteer activities. It was also found that the development of the professional education program and training course about disaster prevention should be required because members of the volunteer fire brigade lacked expertise about the disaster prevention. Moreover, in order to activate and expand VFB, the establishment of the fundamental ideology about the activities of VFB, the introduction of effective selection examination system for the VFB and the creation of department fully responsible for the management of the VFBs should be necessary as well.

The purpose of this paper is to verify if safety managers must bear stress from additional tasks whenmanaging smart safety technology applications on construction sites. We conducted a survey of 133 safety managers who had experienced managing both safety management and smart safety technology applications at construction sites, and used the SPSS Statistics 25 and AMOS 22 programs to analyze the survey's logicality and the data that we collected. We found that the work burden caused by assuming additional tasks to manage smart safety technology applications affected the stress that safety managers experience when working at construction sites. The stress caused by an increased work burden led construction site safety managers to feel dissatisfied with their jobs. This finding indicates that both on the original job and on additional tasks are entirely mediated. Based on this finding, I suggest that the South Korean government should establish smart safety technology applications, thus reducing the work burden and increasing the job satisfaction for construction site safety managers.
