  • Recently, analysis techniques to extract new meanings using big data analysis and various services using them have been developed. A disaster safety service among such services has been paid attention as the most important service. In this paper, we design and implement a flood disaster safety system using real time weather big data. The proposed system retrieves and processes vast amounts of information being collected in real time. In addition, it analyzes risk factors by aggregating the collected real time and past data and then provides users with prediction information. The proposed system also provides users with the risk prediction information by processing real time data such as user messages and news, and by analyzing disaster risk factors such a typhoon and a flood. As a result, users can prepare for potential disaster safety risks through the proposed system.

  • The network analysis is done to explore what kind if issues are diffused about earthquake and the role of social media. The types of disaster information is classified into formal and informal. The role of actor is classified based on the concentrativeness and the diffusion of issue. Youttube is functioned as a formal channel and an informal channel when disaster happened. In case of government's video, issue contractiveness is high but the diffusion is low. In case of media's video, issue contractiveness and the diffusion are all high. In case of individual channel, issue contractiveness is low, but diffusion is high. In disaster, youtube is a tool to respread the disaster issue. Government needs to try diffusion of government's news actively in disaster.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate narrative structure and meaning structure of pictures In TV reporting. TV reporting consists of linguistic representation and pictural representation with which implicate specific meanings. In the past, the latter has been considered as a kind of added material to the former. But, todays, the latter has been considered more important than the latter in implicating specific meanings. Therefore, the author analysed pictures of TV reporting. Specifically, he selected KBS TV news coverage on '9 11 Disaster of U.S.' with various semiological research methods. Through this study, firstly, It was found that the pictural representation was organized with specific narrative structure applied for linguistic representation. Secondly, its meaning was more important than one of linguistic representation. Thirdly, its styles and structures tended to confine range, abstract and limitation of meanings presented by linguistic representation. Fourthly, images of the pictural representation could be interpreted with narrative structures of linguistic representation.

  • In this paper, we investigated the current issues on the KPAS(Korean Public Alert Service) by News analysis. News articles, from May 15, 2005 to April 30, 2020, were collected with the key word of 'KPAS' through the News Big-Data System provided by the Korea Press Foundation. The results of the content analysis are as follows. First, the issues on alert presentation were categorized by alarm sound, message content, alert level, transmission frequency, delay, reception range, time of alert, and language. Issues on inability to receive KPAS messages were categorized into authority, mobile, sending standard, mobile communication infra, etc. For the last two to three years, news on the inability issues had decreased, while news on the presentation issues had increased. This tells us that the public demand for improvement in the KPAS lies in the presentation issues. The demand for societal resolutions to the presentation issues especially on message content, transmission frequency, and reception range has soared.

  • Purpose: As comprehensive nursing care service has gradually expanded, it has become necessary to explore the various opinions about it. The purpose of this study is to explore the large amount of text data regarding comprehensive nursing care service extracted from online news and social media by applying a semantic network analysis. Methods: The web pages of the Korean Nurses Association (KNA) News, major daily newspapers, and Twitter were crawled by searching the keyword 'comprehensive nursing care service' using Python. A morphological analysis was performed using KoNLPy. Nodes on a 'comprehensive nursing care service' cluster were selected, and frequency, edge weight, and degree centrality were calculated and visualized with Gephi for the semantic network. Results: A total of 536 news pages and 464 tweets were analyzed. In the KNA News and major daily newspapers, 'nursing workforce' and 'nursing service' were highly rated in frequency, edge weight, and degree centrality. On Twitter, the most frequent nodes were 'National Health Insurance Service' and 'comprehensive nursing care service hospital.' The nodes with the highest edge weight were 'national health insurance,' 'wards without caregiver presence,' and 'caregiving costs.' 'National Health Insurance Service' was highest in degree centrality. Conclusion: This study provides an example of how to use atypical big data for a nursing issue through semantic network analysis to explore diverse perspectives surrounding the nursing community through various media sources. Applying semantic network analysis to online big data to gather information regarding various nursing issues would help to explore opinions for formulating and implementing nursing policies.

  • This study analyzed how KBS's 'Type and Format', 'Professionalism' and 'Infectious Disease-related Issues' appear in the media news related to Corona-19 under the three periods of 'discovery', 'diffusion' and 'recovery'. According to an analysis of a total of 473 media news, In all three periods, 'Straight Report' and 'Information Delivery Frame' were high to inform the truth of the infectious disease. In addition, the 'transmission of facts' frame was more used than the emotional transmission in reporting the risk situation. However, the proportion of 'moral evaluation frames' in the second phase was relatively high, and the proportion of non-professional journalists was still overwhelmingly higher than professional journalists. Meanwhile, infectious disease-related issues had the most content on 'infection control', and relatively little information on how to deal with them. Based on the above findings, this study suggested the implications of 'Increased in-depth and professional press coverage', 'Refrain from moral evaluation frames' and 'a comprehensive presentation of various infectious disease-related information'.

  • Background : We are in the edge of some human made disasters such as hazardous materials and air pollution, for example, the world news reported that the city of Bhopal, India had serious victims related with a leaking out of the chemical materials, Methyl Isocyanate and many people in India were killed by. These situations many people who live in this world are world are worrying about are not others, but just ours and people consider about that kind of the disasters are the possible situation to happen to all the people. Therefore, we performed this basic study to recognize the risk of Methyl Isocyanate leak accident and to prepare local disaster plan with EMS system. Method : Trace 8.0, a simulation software made by the U.S. company Safer System was used as a tool to estimate the diffusion distance, area and its victims at the concentrations of 0.02ppm, 0.2ppm 5ppm respectively for an assumed B-city of 2 hundred thousands population count in which was presumed 500kg Methyl Isocyanate gas to leak out. Results : 1. During 1 hour, maximum diffusion distances of 0.02ppm 0.2ppm and 5ppm were 5.41km, 1.61km and 0.29km respectively on the plume impact. 2. Maximum population counts influenced by Methyl Isocyanate gas at the concentrations of 0.02ppm 0.2ppm and 5ppm were 40838, 4346 and 222 on the plume impact, while those were 138238, 17261 and 1588 on the vulnerability impact, respectively. 3. Therefore, 17261 persons must put on respiratory device and 138283 persons must be evacuated to safety place within 1 hour. Conclusions : Only small amount leak of Methyl Isocyanate may cause tremendous chemical disaster in urban area, so its disaster plan must be prepared with an accident simulation program and Material Safety Data Sheets(MSDS). Especially, nearby emergency center of an industrial complex must have a strong position about preparation of chemical disaster plan and perform a disaster dill of hazardous material accident annually.

  • The Sewol ferry catastrophe that took place on April 16 2014 was unprecedented in terms of its sociopolitical implications, which had reverberated throughout the Korean nation. Mindful of such distinct characteristics of the Sewol ferry catastrophe, this thesis looks into the salience of the agendas portrayed in Twitter and Portal News coverage on the disaster and the correlation between the attribute-specific agendas of the foregoing mediums by making use of the agenda rank order correlation method. Extraction and analysis of big data revealed that first, while the hypothesis that there were little difference in terms of salience among the main agendas between Twitter and Portal News was dismissed, the rank order correlation proved to be high as regards the main agendas on Twitter and Portal News. This signifies that Twitter agendas exert influence over those on Portal News. Next, and regarding the five main agendas on the incident, there existed differences in salience between the attribute-specific agendas of the two mediums, with low figures for corresponding rank order correlations. Such results signify that Twitter and Portal News have little influence over each other as regards their agenda rank order correlation.
