Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the actual disaster response and suggest improvement measures for introduction of an autonomous police system Method: This study suggests the improvement measures by reviewing police disaster response manual, related statistical data, and statutes comprehensively Result: The introduction of autonomous police system enabled effective management of police based on circumstances of each region. However, there are still doubts on police response against situations that require large number of personnel. According to analysis on roles of autonomous police during the mass disasters, the autonomous police controlled disaster site to prevent secondary damage, prevented additional disaster damages, and rescued people. However, it is hard for the autonomous police to respond against the mass disasters due to its structure. Conclusion: To improve the response of autonomous police against mass disasters, this study suggested on disaster scene control and secondary damage prevention by the police, cooperative disaster response with regional autonomous police, and utilization of control tower.

Purpose: This study aims to analyze data on disaster safety education for migrant youth and to examine the corresponding social perceptions. Method: Data on disaster safety education for migrant youth were collected and analyzed using Textom and Ucinet. The data used in the study were searched on portal websites from 2016 to 2023 using the keywords 'migrant youth+ disaster + safety education'. Result: The analysis results showed that 'education (306)' had the highest frequency, followed by 'safety (287)', 'school (97)', 'society (85)', and 'support (77)'. The keyword with the high degree of centrality, closeness centrality, and betweenness centrality were 'education', 'safety' and 'society'. 'Family' ranked higher in betweenness centrality than the rankings of frequency analysis, degree centrality and closeness centrality, indicating that 'family' plays a significant role as a mediator in the network of disaster safety education for migrant youth. Conclusion: By examining social awareness about disaster safety education for migrant youth, the findings will be used to develop policies and strategies for disaster safety education that consider the unique vulnerabilities of migrant youth in disaster situations.

Purpose: It is to present the development direction of the overall 'disaster management implementation process' (tentative name) for the establishment of an effective 'safety management plan' by the government and local governments. Method: To this end, prior research on the 'safety management plan' was reviewed to derive common problems, and the direction of development was suggested by incorporating the 'disaster management execution process' (tentative name) that can solve these problems with the military's 'operational execution process'. Result: Common problems of previous studies can be supplemented through the 'disaster management performance process' (tentative name) presented by this researcher. Conclusion: Through the "disaster management implementation process" (tentative name), the government's basic ideology of disaster management can be finally achieved, "confirming that it is a basic mission of the state and local governments and allowing the people to live in a society that is safe from disasters."

Social overhead capital (SOC) facilities are being threatened continuously by abnormal climate events that are increasing globally. For disaster response, rapid decision making on evacuation routes and other matters is critical. For this purpose, spatiotemporal information that combine data on disasters and SOC facilities needs to be utilized. This information is separately collected by government agencies and public organizations, and is not managed in an integrated manner. For rapid disaster response, an integrated management of separately collected disaster data and the creation of such information as the safety and damages on SOC facilities are required. To achieve this goal, it is essential to build inventories that integrate all the related information to support decision making indispensable for disaster response. In this study, a development plan for an integrated inventory management system based on the management and connection of inventories to support rapid decision making for disaster response is proposed. This system can collect and standardize data related to disasters and SOC facilities that are being managed separately and provide integrated information in line with the needs of users. The proposed system can be used as a decision making tool for proactive disaster response.

This research is designed for Disaster Mangement Information System(DMIS) which is essential to management of disaster. Management of disaster is not only social problem but also official policy. To perform the research, we examined the necessities, characteristics, and problems of DMIS, analyzed the actual conditions of DMIS in operation, and reviewed relevant documents. To investigate the actual conditions of using DMIS, we analyzed degrees of cognition, channels of cognition, ratio of application, the reason why people do not use DMIS, and the fields suitable for applications of DMIS. And, to evaluate DMIS, we performed regression analysis. In that analysis, we set utility, accessibility, quickness, compatibility, and public ownership of information as independent variabls, and we set overall estimation as dependent variable. Objectives of this research are to understand the actual conditions of DMIS in operation, to evaluate the DMIS from the viewpoint of fire officers, to reveal the problems of DMIS, and to present better ways for using DMIS from its own problems. For analysis of data, we used frequency analysis, T-test, correlation analysis, and regression analysis. From the results of the research, we advised that better application of DIMS requires Standardization and compatibility of DIMS, public ownership of information, use of IT(Information Technology) like mobile information system, management and analysis of disaster information, maintainment of personnel specialized in information part, and necessities for education and training.

The increase in frequency and scale of natural disasters is the typical negative examples of the global climate change and the change of the human living environment. The damage caused by natural disasters in particular including human and physical damage is directly linked to the safety and properties of citizens. Besides, damage occurs directly or indirectly to the SOC facility, and the damaged SOC facility violates the citizens' safety rights. Therefore, a plan to provide prompt and effective risk map information by linking a 3D disaster information display system, which handles the information of the damage that may occur to SOC facilities at the time of disasters, with an on-site assistance application is suggested in this study. The prompt provision of risk map information is defined as a dynamic expression technology in this study. It also processes and compresses the system to display disaster information, a spreading system that can utilize on-site information, and a module developed to organically link with the DB system that builds information and relationships. Based on the module, the effective disaster information compression plan will be prepared, and the prompt information transmission system will be secured.

As inter-Korean relations progress, the issue of natural disasters which could directly affect the lives of the people in both Koreas, has not yet been discussed. Considering the current status of inter-Korean relations and the ongoing disaster-related damage in North Korea, it is imperative to establish a technical plan at the pan-governmental level to reduce the damage from natural disasters. The purpose of this study is to secure the Korea Peninsula against natural disasters by organizing South Korea's science and technologies related to natural disasters in order to reduce the damage, and to evaluate the applicability of said technologies. The situation of natural disasters in North Korea for 17 years has been summarized and reclassified based on eight types of natural disasters. Technologies related to natural disasters in South Korea were also investigated and reclassified. Based on the data, a priority evaluation was performed and the prioritization of technology application for each natural disaster type in North Korea was calculated through a quadrant analysis. As a result, the three major categories of high-priority technologies were classified as natural disaster monitoring with remote sensing and spatial information technology, construction of research basis and database based on geographic information system (GIS) and integrated management of complex natural disasters.

This study reviewed important elements that should be considered in developing natural disaster plan in libraries and archives. In Korea, research on natural disaster planning in libraries and archives was rarely conducted. Therefore, it was necessary to study and analyse overseas literature for natural disaster preparedness planning. The key elements for establishing a natural disaster preparedness plan commonly identified in overseas research can be divided into six factors. 'The disaster preparedness committee and roles of staff' should be designated for starting disaster preparedness, and 'Risks' vulnerable to disaster should be assessed and managed in advance. A 'Handbook for immediate response' should be produced for all employees to respond promptly in the event of disaster, and 'Recovery and business continuity plan' should be reviewed for strategic recovery based on disaster scale and return to work after disaster. Also, in order to strengthen the capacity of all staff related to disaster preparedness and to improve plan for disaster, 'Training' is needed, and 'Cooperation activities' between related organisations should be taken into consideration in order to obtain various perspectives for disaster preparedness and to cope with and recover from large-scale disasters. This study can help Korean libraries and archives to establish natural disaster preparedness plan for serious natural disaster that can likely occur in the future.
