  • In this paper, we propose a resource allocation scheme for high-power user equipment (HPUE) in public safety communication environments. The use of HPUE is being considered to increase the throughput and communication range of a UE in the disaster area where normal communication links are not available. However, HPUE may cause higher interference to UE's in adjacent cells that are allocated to the same radio resources. Therefore, it is necessary to deal with the potential interference through frequency planning and resource allocation. The performance of the proposed resource allocation scheme is evaluated through simulations in 3GPP public safety communication scenarios.

  • The study, on the one hand, reflects the recent social interest in crisis management including user safety and library disaster preparation, and, on the other hand, presents a detailed safety management manual that is a reference for library work sites concerning accidents that may occur in public libraries. The proposed safety management manual consists of safety management elements for the four areas of 'safety management planning', 'safety management for each crisis type', 'information resource restoration', and 'safety management checklist', as well as their detailed sub-categories. This allows each public library site to use the manual to establish safety management plans according to their situation and educate their employees.

  • It has been determined that two-way evacuation routes that connect houses to evacuation sites should be developed to protect residents of historic preservation areas from future disasters. These routes are required because traditional buildings and other historic spatial elements are located close to each other. It is important to understand residents' perceptions of evacuation routes that connect their houses to temporary safe places to develop evacuation system strategies that include effective two-way evacuation routes. This paper describes a procedure used to construct a two-way evacuation route database designed to preserve two study areas that was based on an interview survey conducted with area residents. The resulting database contained residents' perceptions of evacuation routes. The database contains categorized spatial problems related to these routes that can be used for future research.

  • 기후변화의 영향으로 폭우발생 빈도 및 강도는 최근 들어 급증하고 있다. 빈번히 발생하는 대형 폭우에 의해 도시는 홍수와 산사태 등 많은 자연재해가 발생하고 있다. 최근 도시에서 발생한 대형 폭우재해의 1차적인 원인은 도시방재시설물 설계빈도를 상회하는 집중호우이지만, 방재를 고려하지 않은 도시계획 및 설계가 피해를 가중시킨 것으로 판단되고 있다. 대형화 및 일상화되어가는 폭우재해에 적응하기 위해서는 하수관거, 제방 등 전통적인 방재시설물 설계기준을 상향조정하는 구조물적 대책뿐만 아니라, 도시의 토지이용, 공원, 녹지, 광장, 도로 등의 구성요소를 활용하여 우수유출 저감 및 지연시켜 최대홍수량을 낮추는 비구조물적 적응방안도 필요하다. 기후변화에 따른 폭우재해에 도시차원에서 효과적으로 적응하기 위해서는, 다양한 폭우재해 적응 도시계획 및 설계기법을 개발하고, 그 효과를 시뮬레이션 할 수 있는 시스템 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 기존에 개발된 홍수 및 산사태 관련 시스템들과 연계하고 정부의 다양한 부처에서 구축된 DB를 최대한 활용하여 폭우에 의해 발생하는 도시 홍수와 산사태 피해지점과 피해 영향권을 분석뿐만 아니라 폭우재해 적응 도시계획 및 설계기법을 효율적으로 적용할 수 있는 관리지역을 도출하고, 관리지역에 폭우재해 적응 도시계획 및 설계기법 적용시 효과를 분석할 수 있는 기후변화 폭우재해 적응 도시조성 시뮬레이션 시스템 개발방향을 제시한다.

  • Ever since the foundation of the Korean Society for Preventive Medicine in 1947, members of the Society had made remarkable contributions to the public health development and national health promotion. They had played key roles in establishing national health system, improving environmental hygiene, controlling infectious and chronic diseases, promoting family planning, improving industrial and environmental health, and developing health service management. However, the Society had less actively responded to the changes in health service needs of the population that were caused by a rapid epidemiologic transition in last a few decades. Early detection and treatment of chronic diseases including cancer and cardiovascular diseases and risk reduction by the life style modification are major approaches to the contemporary national health problems and they are the core contents of preventive medicine. The author proposed to develop the clinical preventive medicine specialist who will have additional training in clinical medicine for health screening and life style modification to the current preventive medicine training program and thus will be able to provide comprehensive preventive medical services. Another area that the Society may take the initiative is training preventive medicine specialist in the disaster, including bioterrorism, preparedness and management. The Society should be more active in proposing health policy and health service program and also participate collectively in a large scale health research project of the government. These approaches may not only contribute more effectively to the national health promotion but also improve the identity of the Society.

  • Topographical features in South Korea is characterized that 70% of territory is composed of the mountains that can experience intense rainfall during storms in the summer and autumn. Efficient planning and management of landscape becomes utmost important since the cutting slopes in the mountain areas have been increased due to the limited construction areas for the roadway and residential development. This paper proposed an efficient way of slope management for the landslide risk by developing Web-GIS landslide risk management system. By deploying the Logistic Regression Analysis, the system could increase the prediction accuracy that the landslide disaster might be occurred. High resolution survey technology using GPS and Total-Station could extract the exact position and visual shape of the slopes that accurately describe the slope information. Through the proposed system, the prediction of damage areas from the landslide could also make it easy to efficiently identify the level of landslide risks via web-based user interface. It is expected that the proposed landslide risk management system can support the decision making framework during the identification, prediction, and management of the landslide risks.

  • The world is currently undergoing an intense urbanization process. The percentage of urban dwellers has never been so high. In 2010, and for the first time, urban population surpassed the rural one, accounting for 51% of global population, and this trend will continue in the forthcoming years. This increment in concentration of population and supporting assets in cities, make their performance a critical issue for world population. Recent events such as Fukushima tsunami and the hurricane Katrina have shown how fragile built environments are and the unpredictability of occurrence and magnitude of the hazards. Such an expansion of the world's urban population, together with an increase in severity and number of hazards and catastrophes, has put under the spotlight the necessity to build cities not only sustainable, but resilient. Decision makers should acknowledge failure as an option, and the importance of developing city resilience. This paper will provide an initial review on urban resilience, definitions and assessment approaches as a first step for decision makers to account for resilience in their decision making process.

  • This paper proposes a composite form of fuzzy adaptive control plan based on a robust observer. The fuzzy 2D control gains are regulated by the parameters in the LMIs. Then, control and learning performance indices with weight matrices are constructed as the cost functions, which allows the regulation of the trade-off between the two performance by setting appropriate weight matrices. The design of 2D control gains is equivalent to the LMIs-constrained multi-objective optimization problem under dual performance indices. By using this proposed smart tracking design via fuzzy nonlinear criterion, the data link can be further extended. To evaluate the performance of the controller, the proposed controller was compared with other control technologies. This ensures the execution of the control program used to track position and trajectory in the presence of great model uncertainty and external disturbances. The performance of monitoring and control is verified by quantitative analysis. The goals of this paper are towards access to adequate, safe and affordable housing and basic services, promotion of inclusive and sustainable urbanization and participation, implementation of sustainable and disaster-resilient buildings, sustainable human settlement planning and manage. Therefore, the goal is believed to achieved in the near future by the ongoing development of AI and control theory.
