Department of Defense, Republic of Korea has put in significant efforts towards safety over the years by developing defense safety management systems, such as establishing safety management organizations and enacting laws and regulations. Therefore, the number of casualties due to military activities has been reduced dramatically. However, many errors and problems are present in the safety management system (SMS) owing to a lack of proper SMS. That brings inefficiency and discontinuity in SMS. Hence, typical phenomena such as lack of safety management professionals and reactive safety management activities have not been properly corrected. This study reviews various academic papers on the SMS and research reports of major foreign institutions to redefine the concept and components of the defense safety management system to ultimately suggest improvement in the R.O.K defense safety management system. Additionally, the safety management system of the U.S. and British forces, considered to be the leading safety management system, were analyzed and compared to R.O.K defense SMS to derive their implications.

In addition to improving economic growth and development of advanced production technology brings many benefits to our society, but if the growth of this still has the shadow of accidents exists. In particular, the construction site has seen a significantly higher accident rate figures despite efforts on disaster prevention. Among the various methods of reducing the need for disaster safety education industry it has become very stressed its importance through many studies. When a disaster causes significant share of the construction industry due to the lack of educational causes, including technical causes, managerial causes, classification and educational causes of this ateumyeo safety awareness and knowledge account for large proportion. In the health and safety education, centered on the subjects of education supervisors will be able to reduce the real and effective industrial disaster education should be run.

The current study aims to propose a reorganization plan for the national emergency management system to improve the current organizational structure for responding to national disasters and emergency situations. As a theoretical framework, the current study identified four key elements of successful disaster response systems: responsiveness, controllability, expertise, and devotedness. On the basis of the four key elements of disaster response systems, this study critically reviewed the current state of the organizational structure of the Korean national emergency response system by discussing the issues inherent in the current structure and by doing a comparative analysis of two high-profile national disaster cases-the Sewol ferry disaster in 2014 and the Gwangsan Rescue of buried people in 2013. Then, this study proposed the reorganization plan for the national disaster response system in which the NEMA is under direct control of the Prime Minister of Korea. It coordinates and controls the related government departments, such as the police, maritime police, and military during the national disaster and emergency situation. This study also proposed a reorganizational plan for the regional disaster response system in Korea. Finally, it was suggested that the status of firefighters should be elevated to the national public servant level in order to achieve organizational efficiency and solve existing problems that come from the current separated systems.

This study aims to propose requirements for developing an integrated classification system for disaster and safety information by analyzing classifications currently used in disaster and safety-related organizations in Korea. To do that, this study first analyzed existing disaster category classifications. Then, it collected classifications currently used in disaster and safety-related organizations, and through interviews with practitioners, analyzed considerations to manage disaster and safety information comprehensively. The analysis shows that to develop a disaster category classification, consistency, exhaustivity, systemicity, and disasters frequently occurring in Korea should be considered. In addition, this study suggests a facet classification system for disaster and safety information given the intricacy of disaster and safety management and the occurrence of compound disasters.

In recent years, lots of damages appear frequently due to cyber terrorism and natural disasters such as typhoon 'Chaba', earthquake at Kyeongju. The damages lead to people's anxiety and public institutions connected directly with them also can't be free from the threat situation. In addition, public institutions must prepare business continuity issues with the highest priority in the event of disasters because they are closest with people's safety. However, preceding researches suggest needs of disaster mitigation activities management system or central office oriented top-down BCP establishing system. In this study, We grasp the current status of public institutions's business continuity plan(BCP) against disaster and we propose an efficient bottom-up method for structuring the BCP of public institutions.

Disaster has a direct influence on the lives of the people, the body, and the property. For effective and rapid disaster responses, coordination process based on sharing and utilizing disaster information is the essential requirement Disaster and safety control agencies produce and manage heterogeneous information. They also develop and use word dictionaries individually. This is a major obstacle to retrieve and access disaster and safety information in terms of practitioners. To solve this problem, standardization of lexical resources related disaster and safety is essentially required. In this paper, we conducted current status analysis about lexical resources in disaster and safety domain. Consequently, we identified the characteristics according to lexical groups. And then we proposed the utilization plan of lexical resources for disaster and safety information management.

Forest fires generate many types of risk as well as a wide and varied range of damage. Various studies and systems have emerged in response to wildfire disasters. International wildfire disaster safety management systems apply advanced technologies such as utilizing big data, GIS-based systems, and decision-making systems. This study analyzes South Korea's and other countries' forest fire disaster safety management systems, and suggests alternatives for wildfire disaster safety management in Korea. First, a means of integrating information, including field information, obtained by domestic agencies is proposed. Second, a method of applying big data to the disaster response system is proposed. Third, a decision-making system is applied to an existing GIS-based system. When applying the above countermeasures to Korea's existing disaster safety management system, various information and data can be visualized and thus more easily identified, leading to more effective decision-making and reduced fire damage.

This study has analyzed city plans and disaster prevention plans from the perspective of resilience and established a direction of the development of city safety standards. The analysis made use of the 5 functions of resilience (5Rs) and foreign cases. As a result of the analysis, the direction of the development of city safety standards was drawn from 4 perspectives at large. First, this study proposed a method of the systematization of the safety standards involved in components within city plans. Second, it suggested a method to strengthening urban resilience abilities in terms of the association between disaster prevention and city plans. Third, it found out components requiring safety standards considering foreign and other standards, and proposed a direction of complementary measures for safety standards. Lastly, it came up with a direction of the development of city safety standards, the necessity of which are required though existing plan criteria did not contain them. This study is significant in that it has defined the ultimate goal of safety a city should pursue as resilience and proposed a direction of the development of related standards.

In this paper, disasters are increasing rapidly due to increase of population, giantish of cities, advancement of traffics, and abnormal weather phenomena, and the scale of damages is also getting wider. So we study of the disaster safety management system and find recognition comprehensions and the problem points which are basic in our system. We dedicate this research on improvement analysis and main discussion issues of the system that based on diagnostics in developed countries' system. And Disaster management activities are increasing to efficiency through the disaster standardization trend.
