Abstract

Disasters are the phenomena that we have to prevent the occurrence in order to keep the safety to human lives and properties, and if occurred, we have to minimize the economic, social, and mental costs of the occurred disasters or incidents. This research analyzes the optimal location of fire stations in terms of served population maximization in Seoul. This research introduces "the maximal covering location problem(MCLP)," one of the optimization techniques, as the primary research method. This research also applies a geographic information system into spatial distribution analyses of existing fire stations and observed fire incidents. Results from the analyses show that the existing location of fire stations and branches need to be improved. The dispatch location of fire engines should be reconsidered for rapid services of fire fighting.

재해는 인간의 생명과 재산을 안전하게 보호하기 위해서 발생을 사전에 예방하고, 불가피하게 발생하였을 경우 그 경제적, 사회적, 정신적 손해를 최소화하여야 하는 모든 현상을 의미한다. 본 연구는 인위재해중 교통사고 다음으로 발생빈도가 높은 화재를 연구의 대상으로, 서울시를 연구대상지역으로 하여 서울시 주민들이 가장 최적의 소방서비스를 받을 수 있는 소방서 입지를 분석하였다. 연구의 방법으로는 최적화분석기법의 일종인 "최대수용입지문제"를 주요 연구방법으로 적용하였으며 지리정보시스템을 적용하여 현행 소방서와 화재발생의 입지적 분포를 관찰하였다. 연구의 결과로 현행 서울시 소방서 및 소방파출소의 입지는 개선의 여지가 있으며 보다 신속한 소방서비스를 받기 위해 소방차 출동지역에 대한 일부 조정이 필요할 것으로 분석되었다.
