Abstract

A number of researches on disaster risk reduction using the most advanced equipments and scientific technologies have been performed to minimize the damage of property and to protect human life. Although the Korean government is trying to enlarge the research area for disaster risk reduction, the investment size and the applicable results in this area have stayed in the lower level comparing to other scientific fields in Korea and the same field in advanced countries. However, the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), a government Agency which is responsible for disaster management coordination, was established in June 2004 establishing an efficient and well-organized system to cope with various disasters. In this study, investment size by the government was evaluated and associated areas were also identified. We also analyzed the roles on research and development for disaster risk reduction among different government Ministries were analyzed and role assignment to each Ministry was proposed. The role assignment has been concreted by conducting the process of approval in the government.

방재분야에서 가장 발달된 장비와 과학기술을 이용하여 많은 연구개발이 이루어져서 재산 피해를 줄이고 인명을 구하고 있다. 비록 정부가 방재 분야를 확대하려고 노력해 왔지만, 그 투자 규모와 연구 결과는 국내의 타 과학기술 분야나 선진국의 방재분야에 비해 낮은 수준에 머물러 있다. 그렇지만 재난을 방지하는 국가부처인 소방방재청이 2004년 6월에 설치되어, 여러 가지 재난에 효과적이고 정비된 체계를 갖추게 되었다. 이 연구에서는 정부의 투자비용을 산정하고 방재분야와 관련된 영역을 명확히 규명하였다. 또한 방재에 관한 연구개발에 대하여 정부의 각 부처간에 임무를 분석하여 역할 분담에 대해 논의하였다. 이러한 역할 분담은 정부의 승인 절차를 통하여 공고히 하게 되었다.
