Abstract

The effects of the Sewol ferry disaster have infiltrated into various fields, such as politics, the economy, and social fields in Korea, and the population's consciousness of the importance of safety has been strengthened by the disaster. The purpose of, this study is to empirically verify whether there has been any change in the fire service environment following the Sewol ferry disaster. Such a change would be expected to have produced a change in the consciousness of the government about safety and increased the level of support. This study sets out five research hypotheses and verifies their adoption. The years studied are those before and after the accident occurred, viz. 2013 and 2015, respectively, and the main statistical technique is the t-test. The main results of this study are as follows. First, there was no significant difference in the fire-service demand between the two years. Second, the fire-service budget showed a significant difference between the two years. Third, the regional resources facilities tax showed a significant difference between the two years. Fourth, the fire-service budget considering the fire-service demand showed no statistically significant difference. Fifth, the fire service-demand considering (the number of) fire-fighters was significantly different in the rescue and emergency medical services between the two years. Sixth, the fire service-demand considering fire-equipment showed no significant difference between the two years.

세월호 사고는 우리나라 정치, 경제, 사회 등 다양한 분야에 지금까지 영향을 미치고 있으며, 세월호 사고를 계기로 안전에 대한 국민의 의식이 강화되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 세월호 사고 이전연도와 이후연도 간에 소방서비스 환경의 변화가 있었는지 실증적으로 검증하고자 한다. 만약 세월호 사고 이후 소방서비스 환경의 변화가 나타난다면 주민의 안전의식의 변화, 정부의 지원 등을 판단할 수 있는데, 이를 위하여 본 연구는 연구가설 5개를 설정하여 채택여부를 검증하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 세월호 사고 이전연도는 2013년로, 세월호 사고 이후연도는 2015년도로 하였으며, 주요한 통계기법은 t검정이다. 본 연구의 주요한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 소방수요는 이전연도와 이후연도 간에 유의미한 차이가 발생하지 않았다. 둘째, 소방예산은 이전연도와 이후연도 간에 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 셋째, 지역자원시설세는 두 연도 간에 유의적인 차이를 보였다. 넷째, 소방수요를 고려한 소방예산은 유의미한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 다섯째, 소방관 1인당 소방수요는 구조, 구급의 경우 모두 이전연도와 이후연도 간에 유의미한 차이를 보였으나, 화재발생의 경우에는 유의미한 차이가 없었다. 여섯째, 소방장비 1개당 소방수요는 모두 두 연도 간에 유의적인 차이를 보이지 못했다.
