Hate crimes should be viewed as a social problem, not a personal crime, and a preventive system should be established to have an acceptance system for people who can engage in antisocial behavior outside of the social integrated value norms. In particular, in order to reduce tragic hate crimes, society and the government should actively work to resolve polarization, and personality education linked to families, schools, and society should be provided, and policies to establish social safety network such as social security systems should be prepared. In addition, it is necessary to switch to a society in which principles are emphasized, and a society that cares for the weak rather than the strong, rather than the expedient policy of words.

Existing reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings have seismic vulnerabilities because of seismically deficient details. In particular, since cumulative damage caused by successive earthquakes causes serious damage, repair/retrofit rehabilitation studies for successive earthquakes are needed. This study investigates the repair effect of fiber-reinforced polymer jacketing system for the seismically-vulnerable building structures under successive earthquakes. The repair modeling method developed and validated from the previous study was implemented to the building models. Additionally, the main parameters of the FRP jacketing system were selected as the number of FRP layers associated with the confinement effects and the installation location. To define the repair effects of the FRP jacketing system with the main parameters, this study conducted nonlinear time-history analyses for the building structural models with the various repairing scenarios. Based on this investigation, the repair effects of the damaged building structures were significantly affected by the damage levels induced from the mainshocks regardless of the retrofit scenarios.

This study was conducted to provide basic data for classifying patterns of land creep in 37 areas in South Korea using geological and soil property analyses. Geological time, as it relates to land creep areas in South Korea, had been most impactful for the Gyeongsang Supergroup and its sedimentary bedrock during the Cretaceous period. In this area, perfect ridge cliffs in land creeping areas included 20 plots (approximately 54.0%), while tension cracking areas with ambiguous ridge cliff characteristics included 17 plots (approximately 46.0%). Hesitant slide slope types included 20 plots (approximately 54.0%) within theslide slope of an incident pattern (slide slope figure) in land creeping areas. Colluvial debris types among land creep patterns were the most frequent and included 25 plots (approximately 68.0%). The direct causes of land creep were cutting of foothills, quarrying, land-clearing in mountains, mining exploration, and the creation of burial grounds, all of which added to geological impacts. Among land creeping areas, 27 plots (approximately 73.0%) were the result of man-made activities, and 10 plots (approximately 27.0%) were derived via natural causes such as earthquakes, heavy rainfall, and caving.

The problem of the environment is urgently coming to the world as a problem that humanity must solve. In particular, Korea is directly affected by air pollution and marine pollution due to its geopolitical position with China, and is also exposed to a great deal of pollution due to air, water, soil, and weather. In this situation, due to the disconnection between the management domain / service (system) related to the environment, the ability to quickly identify causes and cope with situations in the event of environmental pollution or disasters is weak, and duplication and investment are being faced. The development of a service platform for smart environment disaster management is designed to detect environmental disasters in an early stage through the management of smart environment disaster management at the national level, It will be a way to predict complex environmental disasters.

This thesis is based on a research to investigate the electrical fire risk due to the single and composite cause in a terminal block. This paper analyzed the thermal characteristics depending on the screw torque change and contact resistance change to measure the fire risk due to the poor contact from single cause first. To measure the fire risk due to the composite cause, the acceleration tracking depending on the contact resistance change was experimented to check the correlation of poor contact and tracking to fire. The experiment result showed that the thermal characteristics were clearer as the screw torque in poor contact status and magnitude of contact resistance increased and that the thermal characteristics of terminal block depending on the contact resistance change was more reliable than the thermal characteristics depending on the screw torque change. Moreover, the terminal block poor contact and tracking were correlated in the case of the composite cause, and when two composite causes were interacted, the electrical fire risk was higher than the single cause.

Disaster Preventing Zone (DPZ) is one of the zoning for land use regulation. Though the purpose of the designating of DPZs is to improve the area be safer, people has the negative recognition on DPZs. They think DPZs are regulation to restrict the actions and finally causes decrease on the land price. In this context, the aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between the designation of the DPZs and the land price of the DPZs in Seoul Metropolitan City. We applied the Difference in different (DID) which is one of the research methods to verify the cause and effect of specific policy. As a result, it was found statistically significant that land price of parcels designated as DPZs was 420,000 won higher than those not designated. The same results were obtained when the land characteristics were added, and the robustness of the model was indirectly confirmed. Based on the results, the designating of the DPZs was contrary to the expectation. Although it is necessary to analyze the result of the study more microscopically, It will be necessary to change the perception that it will decline.

Along with global warming, ever intensifying weather events have increased damages to agricultural farms and facilities. The objective of this study was to investigate the spatial distribution and regional characteristics of agricultural damages by extreme weather events. Agricultural disaster statistics provided by the National Emergency Management Agency were summed over for a 13-year period from 1998 to 2010 and used for the spatial analysis. Two indices of damage area ration and property damage per unit area were introduced to quantify regional agricultural damages. As the results, farm inundation accounted for the largest area primarily damaged by typhoons with heavy rainfalls. Most property damages to farm lands originated from farm erosion in the alpine regions by localized guerrilla rains. The two major causes of damages to greenhouse and livestock facilities were typhoon with strong wind and winter blizzards. Gangwon was the province of the largest property loss mostly from farm land erosion losses, followed by Gyeongnam, Jeonnam, and Chungnam where losses to greenhouse and livestock facilities were relatively greater. Property loss per unit area was also the greatest for the Gangwon province (4.91 M\/ha), followed by Gyongnam and Chungnam of 2.20 and 1.50 M\/ha, respectively. Unit loss for greenhouse and livestock facilities was 13.3 M\/ha, approximately 13 times greater than that for farm land (1.06 M\/ha). The study findings indicated the importance of reducing highland farm erosion and reinforcing farming facilities structures for agricultural disaster management.
