Korea is constructing the disaster management system to prevent various disasters and minimize damages. In spite of these efforts, however, Korea lately suffered from a number of diverse disasters. These disasters once again lead to the questions and criticisms concerning the effectiveness of the disaster management system. So research into how to quantify the disaster management system is very significant in securing the right of the people to lead a safe life, keeping human life and properties from being injured. The purpose of this study is to prioritize policies which can be considered for establishing and operating disaster management system. To do that, this study conducts a questionnaire survey, targeting for 282 fire man. The survey includes various factors according to four stages in disaster management process: prevention, preparedness, response and recovery. The method used is AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) technique using expertchoice 2000. Results of the analysis are as follows. At the first stage of analysis, prevention is found as the most significant factor. The other significant factors are response, preparedness, and recovery factor in order.

In this study, based on accident cases of manned and unmanned tower cranes, the types and causes of accidents were analyzed and tower crane accident prevention measures were proposed accordingly. As a result, 'lack of communication' was commonly analyzed as the biggest cause of accidents. Therefore, in this study, we investigated domestic and international systems and laws regarding signalmen responsible for communication between tower crane operators and workers and proposed the following three improvement methods. First, the signalman system must be legally and institutionally reestablished. Second, national agencies and private organizations with expertise should create standardized training manuals and distribute them to signalman educators, and create checklists to manage educators. Third, in the case of a site using a tower crane, the employer must mandatorily deploy a signalman with professional qualifications. Lastly, the results of this study are expected to highlight the differences in accident types and causes of manned and unmanned tower cranes and the need for legal and institutional improvement in the signal system.

This study is aimed to analyze problems of police budgetary execution and to suggest better ways for establishing effective budget implementation as well as legitimacy of securing budget in the field of police work. For this purpose, this paper analyzed the annual reports on police budgetary execution, from 2009 to 2012, conducted by National Assembly Budget Office. In result, most parts of the police budgetary execution were not satisfied with the audit standard, and especially in terms of management of budgetary execution, it showed 40% in inappropriateness. In addition, excessive and underestimate appropriation in the police budgetary execution, which happened frequently in other offices, was recorded on the second place. 10% of the amount of budget was executed for ordinance violence. Given results analyzed from each division, Transportation Division occupied 40% of the amount of related problems and all of types in the field did not meet the audit standard, thus it is required to manage budgetary execution effectively. In terms of Public Safety Division, the problem was related to budgetary allocation prior to execution, such as overlap in other works, excessive and underestimate appropriation, and inappropriate business plans. Director General for Planning and Coordination did not meet the standard of law system maintenance, Given the light of the result of analyzing programs, traffic safety and securing communication was the most problematic and support for police administration, crime prevention and protecting the disadvantaged, educating professional police officers, and establishment of policing infrastructure were required to be reformed in sequence. In order to resolve these problems, it is demanded to check budgetary execution and the process in business plans on a regular basis. Additionally, in case of using budget in inappropriate parts, tough penality including reduction of budget in related to the local police should be implemented to increase the importance of budgetary execution. Moreover, because of the fact that a part of problem of budgetary execution was originally caused by the budgetary allocation, it is advised to allocate police budget using the budget proposal of National Finance Act and Ministry of Strategy and Finance.
