  • Purpose: In recent, mobile technology, as an axis of the fourth industry paradigm, is evolving into our daily life, economic activities and disaster safety management. However, since the location information service is insufficient, it is difficult to response the emergency situation adequately in the golden time. The purpose of this study is to propose a method to fine precisely the location of people who are in need of an emergency in the event of accidents and disasters. Method: This study investigates and compares existing literature and safety apps for national index number NFC application development. In addition, the system structure and the design method through the element technology through analysis of necessary function of the demander were carried out. Results: The results of this study were developed as a design and system that can be implemented in both direction and function to inform the location for emergency situation or disaster reporting in mobile. Conclution: It is possible to provide the disaster safety location service which can be utilized by the citizens in case of crisis by unifying the address system and integrating the location information using NFC.

  • Major accidents such as typhoon, tsunami, and chemical accidents have been continuously occurred. In this environment, Technical Commitment (TC) related to disaster management part in the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) concentrates their efforts to enact the business continuous management in emergency situation for international standard. As a result of TC223, four international standards are enacted in 2011, 2012. In the Korean industrial standard, two international standard (ISO22300, ISO22301) out of four standards were enacted in 2012. This study analyzes a recent trend and proposes a method activating of international societal security standard for chemical accidents. Disaster certificate system for developing disaster safety industry is suggested. We hope each related organization could develop our disaster safety management policy and research based on this study.

  • This study conducted an empirical analysis based on the results of a survey conducted to determine the level of awareness of disaster safety management work of public officials working in disaster-related departments in 22 cities and counties in Jeollanam-do. Men were found to have more positive perceptions of individual competencies and organizational environments according to gender, and women were found to have more positive perceptions of disaster education than men. It was found that men and women had the same positive perception of departmental competency. Respondents to individual competency, organizational environment, departmental competency, and disaster education according to individual characteristic factors generally had positive perceptions.

  • Increasing urban sprawl and climate changes have been causing unexpected high-intensity rainfall events. Thus there are needs to enhance conventional disaster management system for comprehensive actions to secure safety. Therefore long-term and comprehensive flood management plans need to be well established. Recently torrential snowfall are occurring frequently, causing have snow traffic jams on the road. To secure safety and on-time operation of the Bi-modal tram system, well-structured disaster management system capable of analyzing the show pack melt/freezing due to unexpected snowfall are needed. To secure safety of the Bi-modal tram system due to torrential snow-fall, the snow melt simulation capability was investigated. The snow accumulation and snow melt were measured to validate the SWMM snow melt component. It showed that there was a good agreement between measured snow melt data and the simulated ones. Therefore, the Bi-modal tram disaster management system will be able to predict snow melt reasonably well to secure safety of the Bi-modal tram system during the winter. The Bi-modal tram disaster management system can be used to identify top priority area for know removal within the tram route in case of torrential snowfall to secure on-time operation of the tram. Also it can be used for detour route in the tram networks based on the disaster management system prediction.

  • Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to identify factors affecting anxiety about disaster damage potential in Gyonggi-do and evacuation behavior that influences evacuation behavior. Method: Multiple regression analysis was performed to test the hypothesis and to analyze the influence of anxiety about disaster damage potential and perceived stress, and analyzed similarity in correspondence between age and anxiety about disaster damage potential. Results: The anxiety about disaster damage potential of a group vulnerable to safety and anxiety about disaster damage potential of disaster system collapse were perceived in close proximity. Disaster system collapse, evacuation life, and natural disasters were found to be factors affecting perceived stress. Stress and natural disasters were found to be influencing factors on evacuation behavior. Conclusion: The necessity of managing stress was confirmed since anxiety about natural disaster damage potential and stress affect evacuation behavior. The recent experiences of heavy rain disasters indicate that the anxiety about disaster damage potential is expected to increase. The findings also indicate the importance of preventive planning and psychological management to manage the anxiety about disaster damage potential.

  • The study seeks to cooperate with the investigation of a fire investigation based on public-private partnership. Fire protection systems provide a wide variety of viewpoints from the perspectives of design, construction, management, maintenance, maintenance and maintenance systems at a particular point in time, construction, management, and maintenance systems. What is controversial is that there are illegal activities such as illegal activities of the Patent Office, misconduct of construction work and unreasonable construction of construction works.As a theoretical framework, the present study identified the four key elements of a successful disaster response system : responsiveness, control, professionalism, and bias.

  • The purpose of this study is to propose measures to increase evacuation safety by calculating the habitable time using a fire and evacuation simulation program for the Room-escape cafe currently in operation, and comparing and analyzing it with the evacuation required time. Assuming a fire due to overheating of electric heaters in use in front of the warehouse, the habitable time was calculated through fire simulation, and the occupant's evacuation time calculated through evacuation simulation according installation of safety facilities, etc. was compared and analyzed with the habitable time. In the case of escape room cafes with safety facilities installed, evacuation safety was satisfied, but in escape room cafes without safety facilities, the evacuation safety was not secure. As a result of analyzing evacuation safety for each scenario based on the ASET analyzed in the fire simulation, it was found that in scenario 1, evacuation safety was secured and everyone successfully evacuated, while in scenario 2, no one succeeded in evacuation. These results can be said to confirm that the installation of safety facilities is very important in business establishments such as escape room cafes, which become enclosed structures when games are started.

  • Safety accidents are frequently occurring in day care centers in recent years. The number of types of safety accidents is bumping into, falling, burning, school bus accident, insertion... etc., and the number of children who have died due to such accidents is increasing steadily every year. Therefore, it is urgent to prevent accidents at day care centers. IoT (Internet of Things) is managed by connecting various sensors and related products from the living space to the Internet in order to prevent them from being dangerous. In particular, IoT products can be automatically controlled by smart phones and sensors anytime and anywhere, thus saving energy, time, convenience and prompt accuracy. This paper proposes a research model to prevent and respond to disasters by using SK LoRa communication network and Arduino, which are Internet access networks for building disaster management in schools, kindergartens and day care centers. And various sensors needed for building disaster management express various safety states in the building and suggests a system that can control the residential environment by transmitting and receiving data to smart phone.
