This study is researched about the field trip of temples and the data for fire extinguishment manual of fire stations: it is done from June 2008 to December 2008 the 80 main temple wooden cultural properties among the 124 main wooden cultural properties appointed by the Cultural Heritage Administration. Cultural properties appointment classification, location classification, temple area, building area in a temple, building area of appointment cultural properties, a fire engine drive direction for fire suppression in a fire, distance from a fire station, and present condition of a fire administrator are researched. The cultural properties possess characteristic is in 2 cases: the whole things in a temple are appointed as cultural properties and only the wooden building is. The cultural properties are classified: the transport is possible or not. The special quality of cultural properties are classified for early correspondence and cultural properties transport in a fire and the basic data are arranged for damage limitation.

In this paper, I have developed an automatic distress notification system (ADNS) working with an external VHF device in small ship. The proposed system is as part of a small ship disaster analysis system which can detect and quickly respond to the small ship disaster. The automatic notification system receives the location information signal from the disaster analysis system, and the signal will be converted into voice signal to broadcast of the accident position through external VHF device. It will be sending a distress message as form of voice information through VHF device until sinking under the water. Through this research, I expect we'll be make a quick response and prevent a terrible loss of human life.

In Seoul, there are lots of skyscrapers that have above 60 stories and buildings that have more than 8 basement levels, as well as massive distribution complex region which is connected to subways, departments, malls, hotels, and exhibition halls. When an accident, such as fire and explosion, happens in these areas or structures, if we can't find where fire-fighters are, who go into the building to suppress the fire, we couldn't be sure of their safety as well as effective command. Actually, it may cause much more damage itself and restrict either fire suppression or lifesaving. To protect people's life and properties as much as possible, this study will show the method to construct system of disaster-management supports with effective operation of fire force and scientific fire strategy in the scene by using Ubiquitous technique to enormous disasters.

As disaster potential power of modern society grows larger, to improve and reinforce efficiently a national system which prepares and responds disasters, analyzed the survey for government officials of the department disaster management. Following is the contents of this research. First, cooperative relationship to disaster management organizations. Second, necessity of law establishment related crisis and disaster department. Third, by recognition regarding disaster management situational variable, overall recognition regarding disaster management situation, overall recognition regarding crisis type, recognition regarding occurrence possibility along disaster scale. Fourth, by recognition regarding structural variable of disaster management, the National Emergency Management Agency regarding disaster management, related organization, recognition difference of local government. It is a research about confusion regarding step of prevention - preparation - correspondence - restoration.

Japan has a very advanced volunteer fire brigade system as an interdependent organization by local residents due to frequent natural disasters. Japan has fostered and developed the volunteer fire brigade in the national level to response rapidly and appropriately to earthquake or natural disasters even in the urban area that has sufficient fire stations and fire officers. This study analyzes the situation of operating the volunteer fire brigade in Japan in detail and compares the result with Korean situation. Finally, this study suggests policies which can be introduced to activate the volunteer fire brigade in Korea.

본 논문에서는 지역별로 발생 양상이 다른 사회재난의 종합적 위험분석을 위한 정보활용 방안 및 전략을 제안한다. 사회재난은 재난유형이 매우 다양하며, 각기 다른 발생 및 전파양상을 가지고 있어 전문성을 기반으로 관계하고 있는 개별부처에서 각각 관리되고 있다. 재난이 발생 후 대응, 수습 및 복구에 이르는 활동은 대표적인 현장대응 부처인 행정안전부, 경찰청, 소방청 등에서 주로 담당하고 있으나, 예방 및 대비 활동은 각 부처에서 개별법령에 의한 제도 및 정책에 의해 위험요소를 저감하기 위한 활동으로 진행된다. 예를 들어 화학사고의 경우 화학사고예방관리계획서, 장외영향평가, 화재는 방화지구, 화재경계지구, 산불은 산불취약지수 등 각각의 물리적 매커니즘을 적정히 고려하는 이론적 근거의 의해 사전에 그 위험을 평가하고 있으나 재난관리 예방을 담당하는 부처에 까지 연속성을 가지고 그 결과들이 적극적으로 활용되고 있지 못하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 각 부처에서 개별법령에 의해 평가되는 공신력 있는 자료들의 융합적 해석에 근거한 종합위험 평가 개념을 정립하고 실제 활용 가능성에 대해 논하고자 한다.

Fire extinguisher, which is cost effective and easily accessible, is a very effective way of fire suppression. To keep its initial performance it needs periodical inspection and appropriate maintenance. However, many fire extinguishers of which the powder is incompletely coated deteriorates due to the moisture and leak of charge pressure after several years. Accordingly inappropriate powder replacement and pressurization has widely been doing by unqualified persons. Also, the absence of lifetime for fire extinguisher made people keep old bad fire extinguisher without precise inspection. This study specified those issues through case studies and suggested some ways for the systematic improvement.

The wooden cultural assets have the characteristics such as the fast spread of flame and leading to total destruction. Therefore, there is a need for a system for early countermeasure of recognized problem, along with the technological response for accurately recognizing the situation, for the prevention and early suppression of fire. To utilize such technology for detecting the situation through the latest ubiquitous technology and for a quick response to suppress fire, the ubiquitous sensor network (USN) technology, flame detector, image sensor, USN-based cultural asset disaster prevention management application case and malfunction identification system realization were examined in this study and the study result was presented focusing on the flame detector malfunction identification system for the ubiquitous-type cultural asset disaster prevention system.

According to the analysis of the patient transport in the fire disaster occuring at Taegu Subway Jungangro Station February 18th, 2003, authors concluded as follows. Patients were transported mainly to medical institutes which were larger and that had shorter distance. Because of non-emergenct patient's transport to larger and nearer institutes, some critical patients should be transported to more distant institutes. Dead patients before arrival were transported relatively evenly. An adequate transport according to adequate triage should be performed in the future. Early mitigation and response, correlation with the method of transport, regional guide line of disaster transport and correlation between disaster information and emergency medical information should be corrected and need research in the future.

In order to establish detailed plans for fire protection and reduce the possible fire accidents in the future, collection of domestic and foreign fire accident cases and fundamental analysis are very important. In this study the classification model for fire accidents was developed and the direction to a new model was suggested by comparison ours with the accidents classification model of NFPA of United States of America and Japan. A new developed PC-based database program for fire accidents (FADBS) was used to analyse fire accidents easily and efficiently.
