Wireless Sensor Networks is applied to improvement of life convenience or service like U-City as well as environment pollution, tunnel and structural health monitoring, storm, and earthquake diagnostic system. To increase the usability of sensor data and applicability, mobile devices and their facilities allow the applications of sensor networks to give mobile users and actuators the results of event detection at anytime and anywhere. In this paper, we present MUSNEMO(Multi-sensor centric Ubiquitous Smart sensor NEtwork using Mobile devices) developed system for providing more efficient and valuable information services with a variety of mobile devices and network camera integrated to WSN. Our system is performed based on IEEE 802.15.4 protocol stack. To validate system usability, we built sensor network environments where were equipped with five application sensors such magnetic, photodiode, microphone, motion and vibration. We also built and tested proposed MUSNEMO to provide a novel model for event detection systems with mobile framework.

Natural and environmental disasters are recently increasing in frequency and complexity worldwide due to the rapid expansion of overpopulation, industrialization, and urbanization. Thus, analyzing past critical events/disasters in deep and preparing for future disasters in terms of risk identification, assessment and management are imperative requirements. In this special issue, we introduce several interesting studies covering disaster risk management and observation technologies for the heat waves, particulate matters, floods, drought, and earthquake using remote sensing and GIS performed by i-SEED (School of Integrated Science for Sustainable Earth & Environmental Disaster at Pukyong National University). We expect that the results of this special issue provide comprehensive information on the risk management and damage prevention of natural and environmental disasters and offer guidance on the application to future disasters to reduce their risks and impacts.

This paper presents an optimal design method of a hybrid structural control system considering multi-hazard. Unlike a typical structural control system in which one system is designed for one specific type of hazard, a simultaneous optimal design method for both active and passive control systems is proposed for the mitigation of seismic and wind induced vibration responses of structures. As a numerical example, an optimal design problem is illustrated for a hybrid mass damper(HMD) and 30 viscous dampers which are installed on a 30 story building structure. In order to solve the optimization problem, a self-adaptive Harmony Search(HS) algorithm is adopted. Harmony Search algorithm is one of the meta-heuristic evolutionary methods for the global optimization, which mimics the human player's tuning process of musical instruments. A self-adaptive, dynamic parameter adjustment algorithm is also utilized for the purpose of broad search and fast convergence. The optimization results shows that the performance and effectiveness of the proposed system is superior with respect to a reference hybrid system in which the active and passive systems are independently optimized.

The structural system of domestic high-rise apartments can be divided into two parts; the core wall system, which is composed of walls concentrated in the center and the shear wall system, which comprises a great number of walls distributed in the plan. In order to analyze the lateral behavior of each system, buildings with typical domestic high-rise apartment plans were selected and nonlinear static analysis was performed to investigate the their collapse mechanism. From the force-displacement relation derived from nonlinear static analysis, response modification factor was evaluated by calculating the overstrengh and ductility factor, which are important in the seismic response. The ductility of core wall system is small, but as it is governed by wind load, its overstrength is greatly estimated, and its response modification factor is calculated by the overstrengh factor. Due to a large number of walls, shear wall system has a large ductility, making the response modification factor considerably large.

환경기초시설은 인간의 활동으로 인하여 발생하는 오염물질에 대한 적극적인 대응시설이다. 이는 환경기초시설로 유입되는 오염물의 경우 농도와 양적인 측면에서 부하가 상당히 크다는 것을 알 수 있으며 이러한 오염물질들이 제대로 처리되지 못하면 심각한 환경오염문제를 초래함은 자명한 사실이다. 환경기초시설 중 하폐수처리장은 수계관리에 있어 대표적인 점오염원으로 해당 방류수역의 적절한 수질을 유지하기 위해 하폐수처리장의 방류수는 수질기준을 엄격하게 준수함을 넘어 수질기준보다 훨씬 낮은 수준으로 방류수의 농도를 유지함이 바람직하다. 재난 등으로 인하여 이러한 하폐수처리장의 정상운영에 문제가 발생하였을 때 해당 방류수역에 심각한 영향을 주게 된다. 실제 경주 및 포항지진, 태풍 매미 등 자연재해로 인한 하폐수처리장의 피해가 다수 발생하여 해당 방류수역에 많은 영향을 미쳤을 것으로 추정되나 과거 피해를 입은 환경기초시설의 경우 시설 자체에 대한 피해정도나 복구상황에 대한 조사 및 후속보고는 있었으나 하페수처리장의 기능상실에 따른 해당 수역의 오염정도나 피해에 대한 보고는 없었다. 이는 하폐수처리장의 기능상실이 해당 수역에 미치는 영향을 정확하게 파악하지 못함으로 실질적인 피해 정도를 가늠할 수 없게 만들었을 뿐만 아니라 향후 비슷한 피해가 발생하였을 때 어떠한 대처가 필요한지에 대한 계획수립에 도움을 줄 수 없게 되는 결과를 초래하였다. 본 연구에서는 폐수처리시설이 여러변수에 의해 피해를 입어 정상적인 가동이 어려운 상황이 발생하여 유입수가 처리되지 않고 방류되었을 때 방류수역에 미치는 영향을 모의하였다. 낙동강으로 처리수를 직접 방류하는 달성2차 산업단지 폐수처리장을 대상으로 모의를 진행하였고 모의결과는 하폐수처리장의 미처리수 방류에 있어 가장 중요한 점은 방류수의 수질상태 보다는 유량이었음을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과는 하폐수처리장의 기능상실에 따른 피해정도를 가늠함으로 향후 하폐수처리장의 기능상실에 대처할 수 있는 적절한 대응대책 수립에 기초적인 자료를 제공할 것으로 기대된다.

After the Great East Japan Earthquake, reports and books that compiled the testimonies of the victims were published and the situation of the evacuation at that time became known. However, there is very little information on the evacuation situation of children among these data, and it is not fully known what actions the children took and how they evacuated due to an earthquake or tsunami. The purpose of this study is to analyze and examine children's evacuation behavior in the Great East Japan Earthquake, and to predict children's evacuation behavior for future disasters.

The road network system of major domestic urban areas such as city of Seoul was rapidly developed and regionally expanded. In addition, many kinds of life-lines such as electrical cables, telephone cables, water&sewerage lines, heat&cold conduits and gas lines were needed in order for urban residents to live comfortably. Therefore, most of the life-lines were individually buried in underground and individually managed. The utility tunnel is defined as the urban planning facilities for commonly installing life-lines in the National Land Planning Act. Expectation effectiveness of urban utility tunnels is reducing repeated excavation of roads, improvement of urban landscape; road pavement durability; driving performance and traffic flow. It can also be expected that ensuring disaster safety for earthquakes and sinkholes, smart-grind and electric vehicle supply, rapid response to changes in future living environment and etc. Therefore, necessity of urban utility tunnels has recently increased. However, all of the constructed utility tunnels are cut-and-cover tunnels domestically, which is included in development of new-town areas. Since urban areas can not accommodate all buried life-lines, it is necessary to study the feasibility assessment system for utility tunnel by urban patterns and capacity optimization for urban utility tunnels. In this study, we break away from the new-town utility tunnels and suggest a quantitative assessment model based on the evaluation index for urban areas. In addition, we also develop a program that can implement a quantitative evaluation system by subdividing the feasibility assessment system of urban patterns. Ultimately, this study can contribute to be activated the urban utility tunnel.

As a basic data to build a countermeasures against coastal disaster, the conscious survey of people living around the coastal are is needed. This study performed the conscious survey on 5 islands located at Korean southeast ocean including Youngdo of Busan. Among many respondents, 503 effective answers are got and followings are the analyzed results. Among the various kinds of disasters, especially the typhoon(28%), storm surge(19%), earthquake(15%) are selected as menacing disasters in mind to coastal inhabitants. Typhoon(60%) and storm surge(21%) were the representative disasters that the coastal inhabitants experienced. 67% among the respondents get the disaster-related information from TV and/or commercial medias, and other 21% depend on their own experiences. Although 33% of respondents attended the disaster-related training and the training time was less than 2 hours, they answered the training was very helpful. Over 85% among the respondents answered they will evacuate if a disaster occur, but only 19% know the evacuee shelter(s). Except the foods, various living goods are selected and willing to carry with for living at shelter if they have to evacuate.
