Purpose : The purpose of this study was to analyze the prehospital care report prepared by EMS squads of 119 center in Gyeonggi area and to identify the status of prehospital care activities, problems and improvement possibilities of the emergency care. Method : Five hundred copies of prehospital care report prepared by EMS squads in thirty-eight 119 centers under 18 fire stations in Gyeonggi area from March to April in 2008 were randomly chosen for the analysis. Data abstracted according to the purpose of the study were input and the analysis of prehospital care activities were performed using SPSS-WIN(ver. 16) statistics package. Results : 1. Total 500 cases of prehospital emergency care activities were reviewed. By sex, females were 219 (43.8%) and males were 281 (56.2%). The places of reporting were home (57.8%). According to the type of emergency, 281 cases (56.2%) were caused by disease and 291 (43.8%) were from other causes such as traffic accidents or incidental injuries. 2 The average time needed for the 119 EMS squad to arrive at the scene after being reported was 7.29 minutes. The time used at the scene for the emergency care was 7.3 minutes in average and the time to arrive at the hospital was 25.4 minutes in average. 3. In patient evaluation, in 68% of the cases more than two vital signs were measured at one time and emergency patients were 31%, and non-emergency patients were 69%. 4. In one EMS activity, average 2.15 cases of emergency care were provided to a patient. The cases where two kinds of emergency care were given were 14.4%, which is the most frequent cases. When reviewing the details of the emergency cares given to the patient including multiple cares, trivial cards (taking it easy and giving comfort) were the most frequent one as 40.6% and the medical direction of the doctor was given in only one case out of 500 cases. 5. In patient evaluation and emergency care, vital signs were provided to emergency patients at significantly higher rate comparing to the non-emergency patients. The number of emergency care performance was significantly higher in emergency cases. In emergency dispatch, the cases that EMT (1st class) was on board was 86.2%. When comparing the cases when the 1st class EMT was on board and otherwise, the cases with the presence of 1st class EMT showed more vital signs were detected but there was no significant difference in the number of emergency cares provided. Conclusion : It seemed that the on-scene emergency care did not satisfy the expectations. So it is necessary to enforce the cooperation between the elements, the qualifications of the 119 EMS squads and to improve the prehospital working environment in order to provide the better medical service at any time.

Most of the urban transit operation company in Korea have a passive surveillance system to monitor the status of the passengers and facilities in the urban transit service area. The surveillance system is based on CCTV, closed circuit television, and several sensors, such as a fire sensor. However, this system has some limitations to prevent and cope with the emergency quickly. So the urban transit operation companies have plans to be change their surveillance system to be active. The active surveillance system has an intelligent function to detect the event predefined by managers automatically. To construct the active surveillance system, there are a standard concept design and a function analysis. In this paper, we propose the classification of the functions of the active surveillance system for urban transit. We divide the functions into five parts, ordinary monitoring, safety monitoring, environment monitoring, administration support, and record management. And we describe the systems related to the every functions to clarify the classified functions.

Due to recent change in fire stations, this study aims to propose improved directions for planning of 119 rescue centers through its analysis of spatial organization and characteristics by functional area based in case studies of new-design centers. The Korean 119 rescue centers have changed in terms of function and roles in line with the flow of changing social environments, so it has been required to give new spatial change to these centers. It's meant in this study to classify compulsory special service spaces for the 119 rescue centers by domain and to suggest design guidelines for each type of spaces. Eight case of recue centers that were newly built in and after 2008 were selected and analyzed to serve the purpose. Finally, the results of this study were as followed: First, each of the rescue centers is divided into several domain depending on the type of work, and there are meaningful characteristics in the vertical and horizontal spatial layout of the individual spaces. Second, there are specific differences among the spaces in the spatial occupation percentage. The percentage of the space for community service is obviously lower in the 119 rescue centers in Seoul than in Incheon. Third, the domain classification criteria of this study are selected based on earlier studies, and another space for community service is newly added as a result of making a case study.

In foreign countries, the use of containers has already been stabilized with their advantages utilized in various forms. Containers are also utilized in Korea as various forms of architecture, but domestic container buildings have poor public consciousness so as to be limitedly utilized as temporary structures based on economic efficiency. Besides, there is the lack of research and development on them. Particularly, despite the advantages of containers as housing facilities, the use of containers as short- or middle-term temporary housing is limited and does not spread. Also, compared to general housing, containers have lower quality of physical environment and even frequently bring about negligent accidents such as fire and electric shock. Thus, this study intends to identify the actual condition of using container houses, the problems in using them, and the direction of improving their residential environment. For this purpose, it analyzes the present condition and characteristics of domestic container housing, and derives conclusions from the focus group interview with 23 residents who have lived in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do for over a year about such survey items as daylighting, ventilation, privacy condition, water service and sewerage, insulation, soundproofing, view, and room scale.

산불피해강도지수(CBI, Composite Burn Index)는 미국 산림청(USDA Forest Service)에서 위성영상을 이용하여 산불 피해강도 측정을 위해 개발한 산불피해 현장 조사 지수이다. 국내의 경우 별도의 산불피해 지수가 없어, 미국 CBI를 산불 피해지 조사에 준용하여 왔으나, CBI는 국내 여건에 맞지 않다는 지적이 제기되어 산불피해강도지수(KCBI, Korean Composite Burn Index)를 개발하게 되었다. 따라서 본 연구는 미국 CBI에 기초하여 한국형 산불피해강도지수(KCBI, Korean Composite Burn Index)의 개발과 검증에 목표를 두고 수행되었다. KCBI는 CBI에 기초하여 국내 현장적용 후 문제점을 파악 후 정교화 하였으며, 위성영상 결과와의 적합성 검토를 위하여 2011년도 산불 피해지중 상대적으로 피해 규모가 큰 울진과 영덕 산불피해지를 연구 대상지로 선정 후 각 44개 지점에서 산불피해 강도를 평가하였다. 산불피해강도(BS, Burn Severity)는 산불발생 후 1개월 후에 촬영된 SPOT 영상을 이용하여 NDVI(Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) 값으로 계산하였으며, 상관분석과 오류메트릭스(Confusion Matrix)를 이용하여 유효성을 검증하였다. 분석 결과 울진피해지는 (r = -0.544, P<0.01), 영덕피해지 (r = -0.616, P<0.01)로 나타났다. 부의 상관관계를 나타난 이유는 NDVI의 DN 값은 낮을 수 록 높은 피해강도를로 나타내며, 높을수록 낮은 피해강도를 나타내기 때문이다. 본 결과로 제시된 KCBI는 국내 산불 피해 현장에서 적용 가능한 것으로 판단되었다. 하지만 등급분류 방법과 기대치 보다 낮은 상관도 등의 문제점도 나타났다. 또한 오류메트릭스 분석결과 KCBI가 일부 높은 산불 강도 등급에 치우쳐 분포하는 현상 등이 나타났다. 제기된 문제점들을 바탕으로 향후 KCBI를 더 많은 한국 산불피해지에 적용함으로써, 추후 연구를 진행해야 할 것이다.
