In the area of disaster management, we have more focused on the rapid response and recovery, but preventive approach for disaster is becoming more and more important. For mitigation of disasters, we need to analyze the vulnerable area according to each disaster, and need to manage those area systematically. In this research, we selected the fire as a type of disaster, developed guideline of construction of vulnerability map of fire, and built the vulnerability map of fire in Changshin-Dong, Jongro-Gu, Seoul as a case study area. The vulnerability map of fire can be applied to grasp the vulnerable area in advance and manage it systematically. In addition, it can also be applied in the landuse planning and the rearrangement of infrastructure for the mitigation of disaster when we build detail city planning.

Fire stations should be located in optimal location to act quickly in case of emergency and minimize damages as a public facility that protects life and property of local residents. Siting fire stations without regard for the accessibility and occurrence factors of an accident may provide fire service unequally. Therefore service analysis is necessary to reduce the blind spot of disaster and safety and to offer equal fire-service at this time. Especially fire stations can service more efficiently than before by reducing a more likely vulnerable area. This study suggests methods of mapping index of value that represents vulnerability of the occurrence of an accident and extracting service zone map of fire stations, as an initial research for offering efficient fire service. Geographical distribution mismatch between service zone map and vulnerability map is figured out and vulnerable area for fire service is defined by using map overlay method.

Fire incidents, which occur every year, cause huge damage to properties and humans. Significant time and costs have been invested in minimizing and responding to such accidents. With the recent advances in the development of spatial information, in the firefighting field, studies have been conducted to effectively bring fires under control using GIS(Geographic Information System). Most of such studies, however, focused on individual analyses of firefighting-related factors, but comprehensive research on the vulnerability factors in fire control activities, a major part of firefighting activity, has yet to be done. This study sought to pinpoint and analyze the factors that obstruct fire controlling, and to gather relevant data and create GIS-based databases. Based on such database, GIS-based overlay analysis was conducted to produce a fire control vulnerability map. The findings of this study will enable a quantitative analysis of firefighting obstruction factors to assist the personnel engaging in firefighting in rational decision-making, such as in formulating a firefighting operation plan for securing golden time.

This study aims to develop a current building condition database of an important folk culture village of South Korea considering their fire spread risk. We have selected a folk cultral village, and conducted field survey to reveal structure of buildings, materials of building wall, and roof style which make us understand current vulnerability of the village to fire spread. As a result, we made a current building condition database with map, which showed that the village had mixture of reinforced concrete and wood. Besides, we proposed a conceptual idea to prevent from large fire accident in the village.

To construct road spatial information database, it is the main object of this study that an analysis of road factors and furthermore this is used to the rescue activities in case of urban disasters. When urban disasters such as earthquake or explosion cause fire and collapses people of the affected region happen to evacuate. But only to manage roads and monitor traffic volume, the road data is designed and managed using digital topographic map so it is short that the design of road spatial data to prevent disasters. In this study, we tried to suggest the evaluative factors of evacuation to design database : road width, traffic volume, the fixed or movable obstacles installed, the surrounding environments that dominate the land-use planning, the uses, materials, structures, sizes, and densities of the buildings. Thus, these could provide fundamental data to determine the disasters management planning for evacuation and rescue activities, to evaluate the riskiness, and to draw up hazard information map.

도시의 안전을 위해서 재해 발생시 대응 및 복구와 같은 사후처리도 중요하지만 재해에 취약한 지역을 사전에 파악하고, 예방적 차원에서 이러한 지역들을 체계적으로 관리하는 것이 점차 중요해지고 있다. 본 연구는 대도시 관리차원에서 필요한 방재지도의 유형 중 하나로 화재를 상정하여, 화재위험지역을 선정하는 기준을 설정하고 이 기준에 맞춰 서울시 종로구 창신동을 사례지역으로 하여 화재위험지도를 시범적으로 구축하는 것을 주요 내용으로 한다 화재위험지도성은 방재업무에 있어 지역성에 기초하여 취약지구를 사전에 파악하고 체계적으로 관리하는데 활용될 수 있으며, 나아가 지구단위계획 등의 도시계획업무에서 방재를 고려한 토지이용계획 수립 및 도시계획시설 배치 등에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In order to foster rapid disaster response and public life protection, National Emergency Management Agency has been trying to spread 'Emergency Rescue Standard System' on a national scale since 2006. The agency has also intensified management of firefighter's safety on disaster site by implementing danger predication training, specialized training and education and safety procedure check as a part of safety management officer duties. Nevertheless, there are limitations for effective fire fighting steps, such as damage spreading and life damage due to unawareness of illegal converted structure, structure transformation by high temperature and nearby hazardous material storage as well as extemporary situation handling endangered firefighter's life. In order to eliminate these limitations there is a need for an effort and technology application to minimize human errors such as inaccurate situational awareness, wrong decision built on experience and judgment of field commander and firefighters. The purpose of this study is to propose a new disaster response model which is applied with geospatial information. we executed spatial contextual awareness map analysis using fire-fighting vulnerable zone model to propose the new disaster response model and also examined a case study for Dalseo-gu in Daegu Metropolitan City. Finally, we also suggested operational concept of new proposed model on a national scale.

Forest accounts for almost 64 percents of total land cover in South Korea. For inventorying, monitoring, and managing such large area of forest, application of remote sensing and geographic information system (RS/GIS) technology is essential. On the basis of spectral characteristics of satellite imagery, forest cover and tree species can be classified, and forest cover map can be prepared. Using three dimensional data of LiDAR(Light Detection and Ranging), tree location and tree height can be measured, and biomass and carbon stocks can be also estimated. In addition, many indices can be extracted using reflection characteristics of land cover. For example, the level of vegetation vitality and forest degradation can be analyzed with VI (vegetation Index) and TGSI (Top Grain Soil Index), respectively. Also, pine wilt disease and o ak w ilt d isease c an b e e arly detected and controled through understanding of change in vegetation indices. RS and GIS take an important role in assessing carbon storage in climate change related projects such as A/R CDM, REDD+ as well. In the field of climate change adaptation, impact and vulnerability can be spatio-temporally assessed for national and local level with the help of spatio-temporal data of GIS. Forest growth, tree mortality, land slide, forest fire can be spatio-temporally estimated using the models in which spatio-temporal data of GIS are added as influence variables.
