Conventional Earthquake Early Warning System (EEWS) detects the propagated P-wave from epicenter which should be achieved within 5 seconds to provide seconds to minutes of warning, allowing people to prepare for protective actions. EEWS in Korea is currently capable of providing a warning within 50 seconds after the primary P-wave detection, however, it is well-known that earthquake warning systems operating around Korean National Parks (KNP) have limited capability to fully monitor earthquake events. This study, therefore, presents a strategy to quantify the potential vulnerability to earthquake hazards by superimposing the distribution of Korea Integrated Seismic System (KISS) and the discretized map of KNP. Total 22 national parks are evaluated, and the results suggest that the improvement of the on-site systems should be necessitated for Gyoengju, Gyeryongsan, Songnisan, Gayasan, and Deogyusan national parks, whereas enhancement of regional systems is required for Bukhansan national park.

Recently, the damage caused by natural disasters such as typhoons and localized torrential rains has been increasing rapidly. The Ministry of the Interior and Safety enacted a ｢law on safety management of small sized infrastructures｣ and local governments have to register small sized infrastructures with the National Disaster and Safety Management System (NDMS) until March 31st every year. Recently, each local government has ordered Safety inspections of small sized infrastructures and maintenance plans and six types of facilities, including small streams, small bridges, farm roads, access roads to village, inlet weirs, and drop structures are being surveyed and digitized into a database. Each facility is being evaluated for risk, and for those deemed hazardous, maintenance plans are being developed. However, since the risk assessment method of small sized infrastructures is not clear so that is conducted through visual investigation by field investigators, risk assessment is conducted in a subjective and ambiguous form. Therefore, this study presented a reasonable and quantitative risk assessment method by providing a quantitative evaluation indicator for small stream, which has the highest disaster risk among other small sized infrastructures, so that small sized hazard infrastructures can be selected to secure transparent evidence for improvement plans and action plans.

The concept of national security and the fundamental system for crisis management have departed from traditional methods and the importance of a national critical infrastructure crisis management has been emphasized. A national critical infrastructure crisis means a situation where human resource, material and functional system that may have a material effect on the critical functions of the government, the vitality and integrity of society, national economy and the safety of the public becomes disabled due to causes such as terrorism or major disasters. Although North Korea had been subject to numerous rounds of negotiations and sanctions as it continually developed nuclear weapons since the 1960s, it has also showed off its nuclear armaments through successful nuclear testings and missile launches. As the development and threat of North Korea's weapons of mass destruction becomes more noticeable and the range of its risk expands, this study focuses on the potential for an absence of leadership for national crisis management where the country's leadership, which should serve the critical role and function of handling national crises, becomes completely destroyed by the unexpected initial attacks by North Korea. As a result, the purpose of this study is to propose safety measures for the country's leadership in preparation for North Korea's threat of nuclear weapons by examining the concept and degree of risk of weapons of mass destruction with a focus on nuclear weapons, analyzing the substance of the threat of North Korean nuclear weapons and evaluating such threat. In conclusion, first, to ensure the normal functioning of a national crisis management system in the event of a national crisis, we must seek safety measures that conform to the scope and succession order of the leadership of the national crisis management for an Enduring Constitutional Government (ECG) and the Continuity Of Operations (COOP). Second, in the event of a national ceremony, the gathering of the country's leadership all together in an open place should be avoided. In unavoidable circumstances, the next in rank that will act on behalf of the current leader should be designated and relevant safety measures should be taken. Third, during time of peace, in preparation for national crises, the scope of protection for the country's leadership should be prescribed and specific security and safety measures should be implemented. Fourth, the succession order for acting president in the case of the death of the president pursuant to Articles 71 and 26(1) of the National Government Organization Act should reconsidered to see whether it is a reasonable provision that takes into consideration a national crisis management that corresponds to the threat of North Korean nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction. Pursuant to the Basic Guidelines for National Crisis Management set out under Presidential Directive No. 229, the Korean government is currently operating a case-by-case "crisis management standard manual" and its sub-manuals and has also prepared the Presidential Security Service's security and safety measure regulations regarding the acting president. Therefore, the Korean government should actualize the above points in the case-by-case crisis management standard manual and security and safety measure regulations regarding the acting president to implement and legislate them.

The 'alert' is to provide a signal or information beforehand, in order to prepare against situations in which abrupt incidents or disasters are expected. In other words, the purpose of alert is to help people or respondents to take precautions against and quickly cope with disasters or incidents, before those actually occur. This paper draws requirements of alert system from definitions of the alert and cases of it home and abroad. Following requirements of alert system are derived to allow subjects responsible for alert issue to quickly handle changes of situations; 1) identification of subjects responsible for alert issue, 2) use of definite terms regarding alert levels, for prompt actions, and 3) distinct separations among alert levels. This paper suggests improvement directions by extracting several problems of National Crisis Alert System according to such requirements.

According to "Special law for the safety management of facilities", facilities of group 1 and 2 which are larger than a specified size should be examined periodically by experts. In addition, the other ones not belonging to the group 1 and 2 should be also managed in accordance with "Basic law for the management of disaster and safety" by the facility managers. However, there are many cases that these regulations are not kept in the field of safety management because most of safety management work has been done manually without a formal procedure. The purpose of this research is to develop an facility safety management system based on the National Geographic Information System(NGIS) which can integrates and manages the facility safety management information. The final system integrates the information which is related to several laws and distributed among several organizations.

How meteorological situations have affected human life for survival have been an important element of living or military strategy throughout history. In modern society, overcrowding of cities has brought about many problems. Moreover, high-rise buildings and land cover have been causing abnormal weather conditions. The wind corridor, especially in urban areas has been flowing differently from the dominant weather condition of the surroundings. Therefore, the wind corridor in urban areas can be a main component in protecting major national facilities in urban areas from damage. Especially the wind corridor is a main factor to derive harm from poisonous substances in air. This paper seeks to find out the wind corridor in urban areas and the efficiency of that. In addition to that, it studies how to use the direction to protect major national facilities and areas from damage. It is considered that this study will be useful to make defence project, not only for preventing CBR(chemical, biological, and radiological) terrorism and violent assembly, but also for evacuation of people in case of big accidents or natural disasters.

메콩강 유역은 중국, 미얀마, 라오스, 태국, 캄보디아 및 베트남의 6개국이 공유하는 국제하천으로 각국의 안보, 경제성장 및 발전 등에 밀접한 영향을 주며 유역의 개발과정에서 국가별 개발전략 및 경제발전의 차이, 환경문제에 대한 입장의 차이로 인한 다양한 문제가 발생하고 있다. 특히 상류인 중국의 댐 건설 이후 갈수기에 메콩 강 하류지역의 수위가 매년 하락하는 현상이 발생하면서 중국의 수자원 무기화에 대한 우려가 심화되고 있다. 이와 같은 수자원의 통제는 메콩 강 하류 국가의 홍수나 가뭄조절에 대한 대응을 어렵게 하며 최근 급격한 기후변화로 인한 재난위험의 증가는 이에 대한 우려를 심화시키고 있다. 이에 대한 대응으로 하류 국가들 또한 메콩 강 곳곳에 댐을 건설하려는 계획을 수립하고 있어 메콩 강 유역의 무분별한 댐 건설에 대한 문제들이 제기되고 있다. 이러한 문제의 해결방안 마련을 위해서는 기후변화 또는 유역개발이 사회 경제 및 환경에 미치는 영향에 대한 사전분석이 매우 중요하며 기본적으로 강우-유출해석 시스템의 구축을 통한 사회 경제적 영향에 대한 예측 및 검토는 정책결정 및 수자원관리측면에서 매우 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 메콩강 유역을 대상으로 준 분포형 모형인 SWAT 모형에 전 세계적으로 구축되어 제공되는 범용 공간정보자료 및 기후변화 시나리오를 이용하여 강우-유출해석 시스템을 구축하고 메콩강 유역의 2100년까지의 미래 유출변화를 분석하였다. 이를 위해 메콩강유역을 총 33개의 소유역으로 분할하고 HadGEM의 RCP45 및 RCP85 기후변화시나리오를 소유역별 과거자료를 이용한 임의보정의 과정을 거쳐 적용하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 미래 메콩강 유역개발 및 수자원 관리 및 다양한 시나리오 적용을 위한 기초자료로 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 앞서 밝힌바와 같이 현재 메콩 강은 댐에 의한 수자원 통제의 영향이 커지고 있음에도 불구하고 방류데이터 등의 비공개로 이에 대한 영향은 고려하지 못하는 한계가 존재하기에 향후 이와 관련한 시나리오의 적용 등 추가적인 연구 또한 필요하다고 판단된다.

Quick and accurate understanding of the situation in a severe accident is essential for conducting the appropriate accident management and response using the accident diagnosis information. This study employed deep learning technology to diagnose severe accidents through the major safety parameters transferred from a nuclear power plant (NPP) to AtomCARE. After selecting the major accident scenarios to consider, a learning database was established for particular scenarios affiliated with major scenarios by performing a large number of severe accident analyses using MAAP5 code. The severe accident diagnosis technology, which classifies detailed accident scenarios using the major safety parameters from NPPs, was developed by training it with the established database . Verification and validation were conducted by blind test and principal component analysis. The technology developed in this study is expected to be extended and applied to all severe accident scenarios and be utilized as a base technology for quick and accurate severe accident diagnosis.

최근 자연적, 사회적, 정책적 관점에서 하천관리의 중요성이 증대되면서 국가하천 정비를 통한 하천시설 관리의 책임이 증대되고 있다. 국가하천 5대강 본류의 친수지구 이용도 변화를 살펴보면 2015년에 비해 2019년에 면적당 이용객 수가 630,813(명/km²)이 증가하였음을 알 수 있었고(국토교통부, 2020) 본 연구에서는 이용자 수 증가율이 높은 편인 한강 내 하천이용시설을 대상으로 선정하여 해당 지역을 기계학습 기반의 수위예측 알고리즘에 적용하였다. 하천이용시설은 하천이용자가 편리하게 하천을 이용하기 위하여 설치한 시설로 공원시설(강서, 난지, 양화, 망원, 여의도, 이촌, 반포, 잠원, 뚝섬, 잠실, 광나루, 구리)을 위주로 분석하였다. 해당 시설의 침수피해를 고려하기 위해 시계열 자료에 특화된 LSTM(Long Short-term Memory)기법을 활용하여 수위예측 알고리즘을 개발하였고 이를 통해 도출된 홍수 예보로 재난을 대비하고 시설물을 체계적으로 관리하는 유지관리의 효과를 분석하고자 하였다. 입력 자료(input data)는 수위 (EL.m), 팔당댐 방류량 (m³/s), 강화대교의 조위(EL.m)를 사용하였으며 수위예측 알고리즘을 통해 6시간 후 예측 수위값을 도출하여 기존 2단계(주의보, 경보)였던 홍수 예보 단계에서 4단계(관심, 보행자통제, 차량통제, 경계)로 구축하였다. 기존과 세분화된 홍수예보를 적용했을 경우의 유지관리 비용과 편익을 산정하여 하천이용시설의 경제성을 비교·분석한 결과, 유지관리 비용이 기존 대비 약 5% 이상 절감되었고 편익은 약 1.5배 이상 증가하였으며 관리등급은 평균 C등급(보통) 이상 달성하였다. 이는 수위예측 알고리즘의 적용으로 하천이용 활성화 및 투자의 효율성에 목적을 두었으며 향후 분석결과를 토대로 경제성모델을 개발하여 국가하천 내 관리그룹에 적용하면 효율적인 유지관리체계를 제시할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
