Purpose: This study aims to investigate and analyze the status, form and the cause of accidents that occur in theme parks. Method: For the study, we investigated safety accidents of overseas theme parks that were reported to the media using newspaper search program. It also analyzed 710 safety accidents that were collected by the Korea Consumer Agency (KCA), Korea Association of Amusement Parks & Attraction (KAAPA) etc. Results: Overseas theme parks reported by the media have been occurred 40 to 60 times every year. According to the survey data alone, there are 87 safety accidents annually in domestic theme parks, and there are certain patterns in the types of accidents and injuries. Conclusion: This study intends to identify the types and causes of various safety accidents that occur in theme parks, and establish and implement effective safety accident prevention measures.

We are living in the age of information and the role of information communication is large. Moreover, the mass commucatioin and the concentration of communication facilities could cause a significant impact on the lives of the people in the event of an accident. Therefore, we proposed improvement measures by analyzing the standard manual of risk management for information communication disaster. The disaster management agency should improve the management system, the related law system, the basic planning and response system, and the standard manual for risk management through continuous research into the statute and the standard manual for risk management.

This study identifies the cause of the accident and presents a new concept for safe urban stream management by numerical simulating the flood event of Cheonggyecheon on August 17, 2017, using rain data measured through a dense weather observation network. In order to simulate water retention in the CSO channel listed as one of the causes of the accident, a reliable urban runoff model(XP-SWMM) was used which can simulate various channel conditions. Rainfall data measured through SK Techx using SK Telecom's cell phone station was used as rain data to simulate the event. The results of numerical simulations show that rainfall measured through AWSs of Korea Meteorological Administration did not cause an accident, but a similar accident occurred under conditions of rainfall measured in SK Techx, which could be estimated more similar to actual phenomena due to high spatial density. This means that the low spatial density rainfall data of AWSs cannot predict the actual phenomenon occurring in Cheonggyecheon and safe river management needs high spatial density weather stations. Also, the results of numerical simulation show that the residual water in the CSO channel directly contributed to the accident.

Bridge types such as the suspension bridges and the cable stayed bridges maintained by cables present the dangerous possibility of a ship running through the bottom of the bridge. Due to hangers and main cables in the upper structural system, the bridge is also susceptible to disasters. However, these cable bridges are usually used for long span bridges over the sea. This structure is relatively more exposed to disasters, such as wind, hail, and earthquake, than other structures. This structure also has the potential to cause car accidents on account of the poor visibility due to foggy conditions. If a fire breaks out because of a car accident due to wind, a car explosion will likely occur.

본 연구는 전국 고속도로별 첨두 비첨두 시간에 발생되는 교통사고 중 사망사고의 주요 요인들을 발견하고 분석하여 각 노선별 사고 특성을 제시하고자 한다. 이에 로지스틱 회귀분석을 통해 분석한 결과 남해선의 경우 첨두 시간에 발생되는 사망사고의 요인 중 주시태만이 첨두가 비첨두의 경우보다 높게 나타났고, 논산천안선, 호남선과 중부내륙선의 경우 모두 졸음의 사망사고 위험도가 첨두일 경우 비첨두의 경우보다 높게 나왔으며 논산천안선, 호남선의 경우 비첨두일 때 과속에도 영향을 받는 경향을 나타냈다. 특이하게 경부선의 경우 졸음의 사망사고 위험도가 오히려 비첨두일 경우가 첨두의 경우보다 높게 나타났다. 비첨두일 경우 경인선, 서해안선, 영동선 등의 노선에서도 졸음, 주시태만과 과속의 위험도가 나타났다.

본 연구는 고속도로 40개선을 중부 남부 그룹으로 나누어 종단경사, 월별, 가해자연령구간 측면에서 사고 특성을 파악함으로써 유의하게 지역별 고속도로 사망사고를 높이는 요인을 분석하고자 했다. 조사된 노선 중 88올림픽선, 남해선, 호남선, 울산선 등을 포함한 18개 고속도로 노선을 남부 그룹으로, 경인선, 영동선, 서울외곽순환선 등을 포함한 11개 고속도로 노선을 중부 그룹으로 나누어 비교 분석 결과는 다음과 같았다. 고속도로에서의 사망사고 주요 원인의 비율 1위 과속, 2위 주시태만으로 비슷했으나 남부 고속도로 그룹은 요인 중 졸음에만 유의했다. 중부 고속도로 그룹에서도 졸음 시 유의하게 나타났으며 남부보다 오즈비가 1.22배 높게 나타났다. 추가로 중부 고속도로 그룹에서 주시태만(오즈비 1.477), 운전자기타(오즈비 0.347)이 유의하게 도출되었다.

Recently, carelessness on safety management in construction sites has caused a sharper upward trend in accidents and disasters, compared to the past. Therefore, this study analyzes the causes of accidents that occurred on construction sites in the year of 2010, and proposes preventive measures. The construction industry had a heavy death rate with 279 out of 418 deaths from falls in all industrial sites, accounting for 66.7%. And the causation analysis found a particularly high incidence of temporary structure-related accidents, with falling off scaffolding as the most common cause of accidents. According to the causation analysis of fall-down accident cases, accidents induced by protrusion on construction sites are a big contributor resulting in the deaths of 312, accounting for 74.8%, which is deemed to be due to site disorderliness. And to remove floor protrusions and to secure workers' traffic line and safety, neat and thorough site arrangement is necessary. Against collision, efforts must be made to prevent equipment-pedestrian crashes on site, which necessarily requires emergency lamps, alarm bells, and safety poles and blocks to be installed, lighting systems to be improved, obstacles to be removed, site supervisors to be assigned to construction equipment works, and workers to be more intensely trained and supervised.

Chemical accidents are the cause of the accident site during the initial responders to quickly and easily see materials and concentration method for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) is widely used in the initial response team direct reading detection equipment used. Ministry of the tubular gas detection equipment to detect direct reading detection equipment used in the event of an accident scene, and shell-and-tube gas detector for rapid detection and identification and precise analysis of causative pollutants before about strategically can identify the quantitative and qualitative useful equipment. However, those who initially respond to the scene of a direct reading detection equipment and a simple lack of understanding of how to use the numbers only because of the way you want to check the accuracy of detection results have been raising questions about the increase. The scene of the accident in order to obtain an accurate detection results used in this paper, the Ministry of Environment of gas detectors detect tubular Kitagawa and Draeger detector tube to check the reactivity of the material on-site detection of early response of those who were to raise the accuracy of the results.

301 cases of chemical accidents occurred during the recent three years('13~15) recording about 100cases on average in Korea.. Chemical accidents has brought casualties and negative impact on the environment. The chemical accident by transporting vehicles during recent 3 years records 21 on average & takes about 21% of the whole chemical accident. Systematic investigation on chemical accident was needed by corresponding authorities since the transport accident has occurred on the road, all over the nation. For the systematic investigation on the accident scene by the corresponding authorities, the cooperation of transport companies and transport contractor is highly necessary. The investigation of such accident scene was examined and analyzed in this study. Through this study, the results can be basis to analyzed the cause of chemical accident by transporting vehicles and to prepare procedures for on-site investigation and handling systematically.
