국민의 생명과 재산을 보호하기 위해 아무리 강조해서 지나치지 않는 안전을 중요시 하는 우리나라는 각종 재난 사고가 많이 발생한다. 이는 안전의식이 결여되었기에 발생하는 사고들이다. 특히 안전사고와 관련해 다사다난한 일들이 많이 있는데 책임감을 비롯한 본인과 타인의 안전의식 결여로 일어난 문제들이다. 우리나라는 재난에 좀 더 현명하고 안전하게 대처하기 위해서 사전의 적극적인 예방과 사고 후의 빠른 조치, 건전한 안전의식 함양이 필요하다. 2014년 4월 16일 세월호 침몰 사고로 수백 명의 사상자를 낸 대형 참사를 계기로 국민들의 해난(해양사고) 안전에 대한 관심이 높아졌다. 위기상황 속에서 당황하지 않고 올바르고 안전한 판단으로 신속히 대피 할 수 있도록 미리 체험하는 안전체험교육시설을 통해 체계적인 대비로 인명피해를 줄이기 위한 대책이 필요하다. 본 연구는 해난(해양사고)로 인한 인명피해 위험도의 관리기법을 수립하고 재난 관리 체계 중 대비(Preparedness)에 중점을 두고 체험교육을 통해 어떤 효과가 있는지 설문조사를 실시하여 연령대별 체험자들의 반응을 토대로 가상적인 방법을 적용한 인명피해 위험도 저감효과를 분석한다. 국내 여수 해양경비안전교육원에서 올해부터 한국해양소년단연맹과 협업하여 '바다로 캠프' (해양안전 체험 프로그램)를 운영하여 위기 대응 훈련을 실시 할 계획이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 교육원 대상자를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하고자 한다.

About ten years have passed since the rules regarding establishing the Inquiry Counsels Association in the Act on the Investigation of and Inquiry into Marine Accidents were founded in 1999. In recent years, we expect to do the inquiry aid of a person involved in a marine accident, when the government enacted new regimes to better protect the rights of social minorities. But despite such rules regarding establishing the Inquiry Counsels Association, the government did nothing to found the Association for the last ten years. Especially, it is necessary a pivotal figure connecting to a similar work boundary, because persons qualified for an inquiry counsel are various. The authors think that the establishment of the Inquiry Counsels Association plays key part in resolving these problems. Therefore this study focused on the establishment of the Inquiry Counsels Association.

The Government of the Republic of Korea has been continuously improving its legal system to ensure marine safety as a precaution against marine accidents. However, despite the ongoing improvement of the legal system, the number of maritime accidents has been increasing steadily, suggesting that the efficacy of the legal system is insufficient. As for recent marine accidents, small fishing vessels (less than 10 tons) account for 44.9 % of marine accidents over 5 years ('13_'17). Therefore, this study investigated the improvement status of the Korean government's legal system for small fishing vessels and the characteristics of related overseas legal systems in order to find a way to further improve marine safety for small fishing vessels. Following the results, the Korean government's laws related to small fishing vessels show a hybrid phenomenon due to the history of merging ('97) and separation ('09) of legal systems for fishing and non-fishing vessels, and it has been concluded that only improvements to construct additional facilities are being performed, and those in a fragmentary manner. In addition, overseas legal systems for small fishing vessels were confirmed to have requirements strengthening the responsibility of owners and operators of fishing vessels and introduced a self-inspection program. Based on these results, a plan is suggested to improve the efficacy of the legal system to ensuree marine safety for small Korean fishing vessels.

Collision accidents happen frequently. The majority of ships involved in collisions in the coastal areas of Korea are middle and small size ships. The proportion of collision accidents is only 9% of all types of marine accidents; however, the number of casualties resulting from collisions is 34.4% of all human life damages. Generally, as reported by the people involved in these collisions, the navigation lights of the opponent ships were poor and invisible when the accident happened even though the weather and visibility were good. Furthermore, there are many insistences for poor navigation light conditions of the opponent ship in the bay or harbor. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the present conditions and safety of navigation lights. Therefore, in this study, we examined the rules and books of navigation lights and compared it to that of other transportation systems, such as aircraft, trains, and road vehicles. Furthermore, we analyzed the current marine traf ic circumstances and ship collision accidents that happened in the past 5 years. Additionally, a questionnaire was prepared to gather the opinion of ship experts and secure the objectivity for improvement methods of navigation lights. Finally, methods to improve the navigation lights on ships were devised.

This paper describes Three-Dimensional Listening Simulation System (3D-LSS) which is to analyze whistle sound related marine casualties, and is to evaluate the accident situations using 3D sound by Head Related Transfer Function. At first, the three-dimensional listening model from the analysis of accident situations is proposed, and then the reproduction and evaluation methods of 3D sounds are also discussed. The system is designed to explain the accident situations and to simulate the possible situations with GUI based graphics and 3D sound reproduction. The evaluation experiments using 3D-LSS are carried out with six cases that did not known whether it is true or not the blast and listening of the whistle sound between two vessels. As results of psychological assessments by five subjects, the six cases can be analyzed clearly by visual images and audio sounds, thus the usability of 3D-LSS as one of the judgment assistant system of marine casualty is verified.

Recently, tugs and barges have become larger in size and increased in number. Also, most of tugs and barges are more than ten-years old. Total number of marine accident has been decreased, whereas that of accidental happening in tug-barge transportation has not been decreased. The statistics of marine accidents in 2010 shows that tug-barge accidents increased rapidly compared with those of 2009. The cause of accidental happening in tug-barge transportation is a quality of tug-barge operator the labour serious shortage of crew. This study is to give or suggest the various educational contents considering old age of crew and navigational environment for safe navigation in tug-barge transportation.

선박충돌사고 원인의 제공 정도를 밝혀 해양사고를 재발방지를 목적으로 1999년 2월 "선박충돌사고 원인제공비율 산정제도"를 마련하였으며, 2007년 1월 원인제공비율 산정지침을 제정하여 시행해 오고 있다. 이 제도의 또 다른 도입목적은 해양안전심판원의 원인제공비율을 민사재판에서 사법부가 적극 인용함으로써 해양사고관련자들 간의 신속한 분쟁해결과 경제적 부담 감송 등에 기여함에 있다. 그러나 민사소송에 있어 제공된 원인제공비율이 과실비율로 인정되는 등의 이유로 원인제공비율 산정제도가 사법권의 침해하고 있다는 문제점도 지적되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 원인제공비율 산정제도의 시행 이후 이 제도의 시행자 및 사용자 등 전문가 집단을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 제도의 효과 및 문제점 등을 분석하였다. 전문가 집단 응답자의 대부분이 제도의 필요성 (94.3%), 유용성 (88.6%) 및 신뢰성 (73%)을 피력하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 이 제도가 필요한 이유로는 "손해배상분쟁의 신속한 해결", "충돌사고 재발방지", 그리고 "이해당사자의 편의제공" 때문임을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 제도의 개선을 위해서는 원인제공 비율의 표시에 있어 보다 객관적인 기준과 정량성 및 전문성의 확보가 필요하다는 지적도 확인하였다. 따라서 원인제공비율 산정제도의 개선방안으로 원인제공비율산정에 대한 신뢰성 및 공정성의 확보, 심판관에 대한 법률적 지식과 법적 소양강화 및 전문법조인의 심판관으로의 영입 등이 필요하다고 판단된다.

In December 1998, Act on the investigation and inquiry into marine accidents was amended by inserting new Paragraph (2) of Article 4, which states "Where two or more persons are related to the occurrence of a marine accident when the Maritime Safety Tribunal(hereinafter referred to as the "MST") examines the causes of a marine accident as provides for under Paragraph (1), the MST may disclose the extent to which each responsible person is related to the cause of the marine accident". Based on this new Paragraph, the apportionment system of causation ratio in the ship collision was introduced in February 1999. However the apportionment system is adopted 12 years ago, public debate has continued about the positive and negative aspects of the system. Thus some groups advocate the system for the advantages, but other groups argue that this system should be abolished. Therefore, at first, this study analyzes the adopting background and the main reasons of the pros and cons discussion on the apportionment system of causation ratio in the ship collision. Then we conduct a survey analysis to investigate stakeholder's satisfaction of this new system in the ship collision cases. Finally this study suggests the policy proposal to improve the apportionment system of causation ratio in the ship collision.

Research indicates, about 80% of maritime accidents are caused by human error. Further investigation of the human factors behind maritime casualties is essential in order to establish preventive measures. The main purpose of this study is to identify and analyze human factors behind maritime traffic-related accidents using the m-SHEL model. Since the m-SHEL model used in other fields is based on generic human factors, it has expanded in this study to accommodate ship operating systems and define human factors. In addition, the validity of the expanded model was verified by reliability analysis using SPSSWIN. A classified table for this extended m-SHEL model was then used to analyze human factors behind maritime traffic-related accidents extracted from a written verdict by the Korean Maritime Safety Tribunal. Human factors were arranged in the order L, L-E, L-H, L-m, L-L, and L-S. This paper contributes to the prevention of maritime traffic-related accidents caused by human factors by presenting useful analytical results that can be applied to build a maritime safety management system.
