Abstract

To prevent the Sewol incident again, by which the victims are 294 dead and still 10 missing, this study analyzed the change of safety consciousness of passengers onboard ship comparatively before and after the Sewol incident. The survey had performed 2 times at Jeju coastal cruise terminal at February 2014 and May 2014, and effective respondents were 394 and 401, respectively. After the Sewol incidents, the answers' ratio that they would follow the routes that the crews show and they would follow the crews' evacuation guides are decreased 24.5% and 18.5%, respectively. This means that the reliability on the crew members were decreased. Although 77.6% passengers responded that they felt nervousness onboard ship, 60% did not take safety lesson(s) and 45% did not know how to wear a life jacket. And also over 50% did not check the evacuation route map and the location of lifeboat, respectively. Meanwhile, 86.9% respondents answered the system of safey lesson should be changed, which has normally done by TV set.

294명이 사망하고 10명이 실종된 세월호 사고와 같은 해상사고의 재발을 방지하기 위하여, 본 연구에서는 세월호 사고 전후 국내 여객선 승객의 안전의식 변화를 비교, 분석하였다. 설문조사는 제주연안여객터미널에서 2014년 2월과 5월에 두차례 수행되었고 설문에 대한 각 유효응답인원은 394명, 401명이었다. 세월호 사고 이후 승무원이 알려주는 경로를 따르겠다는 응답은 24.8% 낮아졌고, 승무원의 유도에 따라 피난을 가겠다는 응답도 18.5% 감소하는 등 전반적으로 승무원에 대한 신뢰가 낮아졌다. 또한 세월호 사고 이후 여객선 일반 승객의 77.6%는 세월호 사고와 같은 재난을 당할 수 있다는 불안감을 느끼지만, 약 60% 응답자는 승선 중 진행된 안전교육을 받지 않았고, 45%는 구명조끼 착용법을 모르며, 약 50%정도는 비상대피로를 확인하지 않으고, 60%는 구명벌, 구명보트의 위치를 파악하지 않는 모순을 보였다. 한편, 86.9%의 응답자가 현재 주로 동영상으로만 진행되는 안전교육 방법의 개선이 필요하다고 응답했다.
