Abstract

This study aimed to confirm the status of media reports on space hazards using topic modeling analysis of media articles that are related to space hazards for the past 12 years. Therefore, Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) analysis was performed by collecting over 1200 space hazards articles between 2010 and 2021 on solar storm, artificial space objects, and natural space objects from BIGKins news platform. The articles related to solar storm focused on three topics: the effect of solar explosion on satellites; effect of solar explosion on radio communication in Korea, centered on the Korean Space Weather Center; and relationship between aircrew and space radiation. The articles related to artificial space objects focused on three topics: the threat of space garbage to satellite and space stations and the transition of useful objects into space junk; the relationship between space garbage and humanity as shown in movies; and the effort of developed countries for tracking, monitoring, and disposing of space garbage. The articles related to natural space objects focused on two topics: International Space Agency's tracking and monitoring of near-Earth asteroids and the countermeasures of collisions, and the evolution and extinction of dinosaurs and mammals, with a focus on the collisions of asteroids or comets. Therefore, this study confirmed that domestic media play a role in conveying dangers of space hazards and arousing the attention of public using a total of eight themes in various fields such as society and culture, and derived education method and policy on space hazards.

본 연구는 지난 12년간의 우주위험 관련 언론기사의 토픽모델링 분석을 통해 우주위험별 언론 보도 현황을 알아보기 위한 목적으로 수행되었다. 빅카인즈(BIGKinds)의 뉴스 플랫폼에서 2010년부터 2021년까지의 태양폭풍, 인공우주물체, 자연우주물체에 대한 우주위험 기사를 각각 1200여건 이상 수집하였으며, 키워드 분석, 잠재적 디리클레 할당모형(LDA) 분석을 수행하였다. 그 결과 태양폭풍 관련 기사는 3개의 토픽인 태양폭발이 인공위성에 미치는 영향, 우주전파센터를 중심으로 태양폭발이 우리나라 전파 통신에 미치는 영향, 항공종사자와 우주방사선의 관계로 요약되었다. 인공우주물체 관련 기사의 경우 3개의 토픽으로 인공위성과 우주정거장이 우주쓰레기로부터 위협을 받거나 그 자체가 우주쓰레기가 될 수 있다는 토픽, 영화를 통한 우주쓰레기와 인류의 관계에 대한 토픽, 우주쓰레기 추적·감시 및 처리를 위한 우주강국들의 노력이라는 토픽으로 요약되었다. 자연우주물체 관련 기사는 2개의 토픽으로 국제 우주기관의 근지구소행성에 대한 추적·감시와 충돌 대책과 소행성과 혜성 충돌을 중심으로 공룡과 포유류의 진화 및 멸종 원인으로 요약되었다. 이로부터 2010년부터 현재까지 국내 언론은 우주위험을 사회, 문화 등 다양한 영역에서 총 8개의 주제로 대중들에게 그 위험성과 경각심을 전하는 역할을 하고 있음을 확인하였으며, 이러한 결과를 기반으로 우주위험에 대한 교육방법과 교육정책의 필요성을 제언하였다.
