  • The purpose of this study is to propose development plan for systematic design and management of disaster and safety education curriculum in accordance with the revision of Framework act on the management of disasters and safety. The curriculum is intended for current disaster management professionals. Prior to analysis, disaster and safety professionals were classified into three categories: disaster practitioner, disaster manager, and disaster higher manager. And based on 24 disaster safety functions and 13 disaster management competence items, priorities of their task ability were derived. Considering practical effect of disaster and safety education, the course curriculum is divided to target groups of disaster practitioner, disaster manager, and disaster higher manager. Disaster management education curriculum and its design are based on the results of disaster prevention education contents development planning to reflect the elements of advanced disaster management education and to consider brand making of the curriculum and operation pattern.

  • This study aims to propose the methods for urban flood risk maps which are useful in strengthening urban planning toward disaster prevention by climate change. Selecting the Gwangju city, Gyeonggi-do as study area, it analyzes urban flood at a RCP 8.5 scenario, and develops gridded information regarding risk components such as hazard, exposure, and vulnerability. It turns out that flooding would occur at a bend interval of the Mokhyun stream and also at the joint of the Gyungan and the Mokhyun streams, showing the similarity with the inundation trace map. In particular, the Songjeong dong is analyzed to be seriously exposed and to be highly vulnerable to flood inundation. With all results together, this study concludes that the proposed methods could be used as a basis for strengthening urban planning toward flood disaster prevention system.

  • Wildfire disasters in the United States impact lives and livelihoods by destroying private homes, businesses, community facilities, and infrastructure. Disaster victims suffer from damaged houses, inadequate shelters, inoperable civil infrastructure, and homelessness coupled with long-term recovery and reconstruction processes. Cities and their neighboring communities require an enormous commitment for a full recovery for as long as disaster recovery processes last. State, county, and municipal governments inherently have the responsibility to establish and provide governance and public services for the benefit and well being of community members. Municipal governments' comprehensive and emergency response plans are the artifacts of planning efforts that guide accomplishing those duties. Typically these plans include preparation and response to natural disasters, including wildfires. The standard wildfire planning includes and outlines (1) a wildfire hazard assessment, (2) response approaches to prevent human injury and minimize damage to physical property, and (3) near- and long-term recovery and reconstruction efforts. There is often a high level of detail in the assessment section, but the level of detail and specificity significantly lessons to general approaches in the long-term recovery subsection. This paper aims to document the extent of wildfire preparedness at the county level in general, focusing on the long-term recovery subsections of municipal plans. Based on the identified challenges, the researchers provide recommendations for better longer-term recovery and reconstruction opportunities: 1) building permit requirements, 2) exploration of the use of modular construction, 3) address through relief from legislative requirements, and 4) early, simple, funding, and the aid application process.

  • In the area of disaster management, we have more focused on the rapid response and recovery, but preventive approach for disaster is becoming more and more important. For mitigation of disasters, we need to analyze the vulnerable area according to each disaster, and need to manage those area systematically. In this research, we selected the fire as a type of disaster, developed guideline of construction of vulnerability map of fire, and built the vulnerability map of fire in Changshin-Dong, Jongro-Gu, Seoul as a case study area. The vulnerability map of fire can be applied to grasp the vulnerable area in advance and manage it systematically. In addition, it can also be applied in the landuse planning and the rearrangement of infrastructure for the mitigation of disaster when we build detail city planning.

  • This study deducted institutional improvement factors for respond of heavy snowfall disaster and performed AHP analysis for choosing the priority. The result of Analysis, establishment of plan concerned heavy snowfall respond was represented most important factor(Importance : 0.461), this is meaningful establishment of plan is more important than facilities, sources, policies for building system of heavy snowfall respond. Establishment of plan concerned respond was represented most important element(Comprehensive Importance : 0.175) in plan for heavy snowfall respond, it is suggested that establishment of respond plan of heavy snowfall has to need for improving law and institution about heavy snowfall. The result of this study will be useful when the central or local government establish institutional improvement plan for respond of heavy snowfall disaster.

  • Purpose: This study aims to provide a direction for restructuring resilient waterfront spaces, emphasizing the severity of water-related disasters and the significance of developing responsive urban strategies. Method: To achieve this objective, the study analyzes overseas planning and design cases based on the theoretical framework of urban resilience. The goal is to identify physical and social systemic design elements that can be applied to waterfront space planning and design of Korea. Result: The proposals from the Resilient by Design Callenge included strategies for enhancing social systems and promoting sustainability in a more systematic manner. Additionally, various physical design strategies and technologies were identified in the Sponge City projects, which aim to create a flexible urban waterfront space. Conclusion: When planning and designing Korean waterfront spaces to effectively respond to disasters, several elements should be considered, such as enhancing educational functions, expanding local resident participation, establishing a governance system, developing systematic sustainable plans, adopting ecological approaches, and implementing various low-impact development techniques.

  • People can't be free from the panic of flood, war and terrorism which could be fatal for people's life and property in modern society. It is the most important thing that provide food and residence for suffers in disaster areas. When disaster occurred, the emergency public facilities would be the first place that the people stay. However, these also could be destroyed by disaster. In that case, emergency tents or containers could be the major residence for disaster suffers. Because the only concern for planning temporary residence is the matter of supply and efficiency, it is no longer useful after the disaster end. Therefore, temporary residence as well as general residence should be on the basis of social and cultural factors as well as basic and physiological factors. It is very crucial to study the model of temporary residence. It could be the fundamental and necessary for the human being in order to prepare the natural disaster and grand scale accident. The main purpose for this study is examining the temporary residence that satisfy the fundamental, social and cultural factors for disaster sufferers.

  • Even in South Korea, disaster victims are suffering from various disasters such as floods, earthquakes, landslides, fires, and most of them have evacuated to temporary housing facilities for disaster victims. However, there are few plans for the placement and performance of indoor temporary housing facilities provided to secure private space in temporary housing facilities for disaster victims. In order to improve the living environment in the temporary housing facility of the victim, we constructed a module of minimum temporary accommodation area per person of 3.3 square meters, designated by the MPSS, and are proceeding with the module arrangement plan, Presented the evaluation direction of the form, material and performance of the indoor temporary housing facility.
