Reasonable disaster prevention signs play an important role in guiding evacuation. Through the field investigation on disaster prevention signs in shelters and surrounding areas in Beijing, some problems were found in the using of sign system. Based on the principle of integrated design, evacuation and rescue requirements, it is necesssary to make further study on aspects such as, design of function, systematic consideration, humanization design, as well as the internationalization using. This paper presents an evaluation index system for disaster prevention signs. Such a system is very important for strengthening the independent guiding function of sign systems and improving evacuation efficiency. An effective connection could be realized between the internal environment of buildings, evacuation routes, and emergencey shelters.

The objective of this paper is to develop an intelligent decision support system that is able to advise disaster countermeasures and degree of incidents on the basis of the collected and analyzed signs of disasters. The concepts derived from ontology, text mining and case-based reasoning are adapted to design the system. The functions of this system include term-document matrix, frequency normalization, confidency, association rules, and criteria for judgment. The collected qualitative data from signs of new incidents are processed by those functions and are finally compared and reasoned to past similar disaster cases. The system provides the varying degrees of how dangerous the new signs of disasters are and the few countermeasures to the disaster for the manager of disaster management. The system will be helpful for the decision-maker to make a judgment about how much dangerous the signs of disaster are and to carry out specific kinds of countermeasures on the disaster in advance. As a result, the disaster will be prevented.

The number of accidents in school zone is decreasing than before with the introduction of strengthening traffic safety policy since January 2011, but the danger still exists. The School zone sign is widely known to have much effect in protecting children from risks of traffic accidents, but design improvement is being demanded to improve a sense of safety and legibility of safety signs in School zone due to the lack of understanding on the safety signs in crosswalk and School zone. This study analyzed differences in shape and color of existing safety signs through a case analysis of traffic developed countries as America, England, Japan, and Germany and suggested improvement plans for drivers to clearly perceive the school zone. For improvement methods, this study suggested the importance of delivering definite and unified warning message for school zone to drivers by using indication sign and caution sign together, and to use yellow, a safety color, and to unify the safety sign into triangle shape that symbolizes warning and caution to conform the international standards. Actual design production and experiment through improvement plans are needed in the future, and it is expected to secure safety of children and to provide international standardization of safety signs in school zone.

Korea has been preparing and operating crisis management standardized manuals so that over 30 disaster types that need to be managed at the national level can be selected and systematically managed. This study analyzed the crisis alert levels of two standard manuals related to the case with reference to the contents of the Framework Act on the Management of Disaster and Safety and National Crisis Management Basic Guidelines. According to the Act and Guidelines, crisis alerts are issued before a crisis or disaster, but the criteria of crisis alerts of the two manuals showed that the national crisis had already occurred and the disaster occurred due to a marine vessel accident at the serious level. In addition, the results of timing of issuance of crisis alert were reviewed. If the signs can be identified, a crisis alert may be issued prior to the occurrence of the incident, but a crisis alert cannot be issued when an incident occurs without a sign. In the case of an incident where there are no signs, but there is a possibility of spreading to a national level disaster, the disaster management supervision agency could issue a crisis alert.

여러 가지 예측하기 힘든 요소에 의해서 발생되는 재난을 미리 감지하는 것은 매우 어려운 일이다. 특히, 일부라도 예측할 수가 있는 자연재난이 아닌 복합재난의 경우, 측정될 수가 있는 정형적인 데이터가 존재하지 않기 때문에 재난을 예측하기 위한 데이터가 없는 것이 현실이다. 본 논문에서는 재난에 대한 전조를 감지하기 위해 소셜미디어에서 사람들이 직접 생성하는 소셜 빅데이터를 활용하여 재난과 관련된 메시지의 감성이 재난전조와 연관성이 있다는 것을 알아보고자 한다. 그래서 실제 사람들이 작성한 재난과 관련된 트윗을 수집하고 감성분석하여 재난발생 전후의 감성변화를 분석하였다.

안전표지의 설치 실태를 조사하여 분석한 결과 설치위치와 관련된 문제, 관리의 문제 등 여러 가지 문제가 있는 것으로 파악되었습니다. 이에 표지에 관련된 자료를 전산화하여 관리하는 것이 가장 시급하며, 표지에 대한 관리 매뉴얼을 만들어 관리의 책임을 명확히 하고 체계적으로 점검하고 보수하는 일이 실행 되어야합니다.

Social Media transformed the mass media based information traffic, and it has become a key resource for finding value in enterprises and public institutions. Particularly, in regards to disaster management, the necessity for public participation policy development through the use of social media is emphasized. National Disaster Management Research Institute developed the Social Big Board, which is a system that monitors social Big Data in real time for purposes of implementing social media disaster management. Social Big Board collects a daily average of 36 million tweets in Korean in real time and automatically filters disaster safety related tweets. The filtered tweets are then automatically categorized into 71 disaster safety types. This real time tweet monitoring system provides various information and insights based on the tweets, such as disaster issues, tweet frequency by region, original tweets, etc. The purpose of using this system is to take advantage of the potential benefits of social media in relations to disaster management. It is a first step towards disaster management that communicates with the people that allows us to hear the voice of the people concerning disaster issues and also understand their emotions at the same time. In this paper, Korean language text mining based Social Big Board will be briefly introduced, and disaster issue detection model, which is key algorithms, will be described. Disaster issues are divided into two categories: potential issues, which refers to abnormal signs prior to disaster events, and occurrence issues, which is a notification of disaster events. The detection models of these two categories are defined and the performance of the models are compared and evaluated.

The characteristics of volumetric water content changes in soil slopes were studied here in an effort to identify the signs of heavy rain causing shallow slope failure. Volumetric water contents in cases with and without shallow failure were measured in flume and test-bed experiments. Measurement data from 282 experiments of both types revealed that the volumetric water content gradient in shallow failure events ranged from 0.072 to 0.309. In non-failure cases, the range was 0.01~0.32. Therefore, this one specific value cannot predict shallow slope failure. However, as the volumetric water content gradient increased, there was a clear tendency to shallow failure. By using this trend, criteria for four warning levels are suggested.

Notifying emergency evacuation methods, accurate disaster location and evacuation route guidance can be very active alternatives to quickly minimize evacuation and casualties in disaster situation in the development of subway disaster prevention detection system that detects the disaster signs at the subway station early on the basis of Internet of things and leads passengers to evacuate. It's not easy to ensure perfect functioning of fire fighting facilities and equipments due to underground space structure with narrow exits. Therefore, we developed disaster provision EL Display integrated board that can induce the most efficient evacuation and the field experiment was conducted to examine the practical application in this study. Especially the applicability was verified by field application test because there is no case in which EL panels are used to evacuate disasters.
