Recently our country was entering a high-tech society with social and economic development. However, the individual's ability to respond to disasters is lowered by the increase in complexity society. Accurate situation assessment and disaster response by a margin of personal information that can identify when a disaster has been difficult. Until now, by leveraging Standard speaker was the emergency alert broadcast. However, it was difficult to have regular speakers reverberation, a distinct attenuation of sound by listening to the sound, etc. due to the reflection of sound. By using a directional speaker that is characteristic of the sound attenuation of sound is straight to solve this problem and obtain feedback on measures that can effectively provide the oocytes to a valid information on a disaster situation and the evacuation.

지상파 디지털멀티미디어방송(T-DMB)을 이용하여 국지적인 재난경보 방송을 실시하고 있지만 산간오지 등과 같은 전파 음영 지역에는 시설 투자의 한계로 서비스가 제한되고 있는 실정이다. 무선 마을 방송 시스템은 ISM 밴드 주파수를 사용하고 있으며 마을 방송용으로 주파수를 제한하여 간섭영향이 상대적으로 적은 장점을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 T-DMB 재난 방송을 기존 무선 마을 방송 시스템의 장점을 이용하여 산간오지의 댁내까지 방송 가능한 시스템을 제안하였다. 재난 발생시 T-DMB 특수 수신기의 재난 방송 출력 신호를 무선 마을 방송 송신기와 복수의 댁내 무선 수신기를 통하여 방송 가능한 구조이며 T-DMB 수신기와 무선 방송 송신기간에는 접점 인터페이스를 통하여 정확한 시퀀스 제어가 필요하다. 무선 마을 방송 시스템은 UHF 대역의 ISM 밴드 무선 주파수를 이용하여 오지산간 지역의 부락에 적합한 특성을 갖고 있다. 장애물로 인한 장거리 전송의 한계는 무선 중계기를 이용하여 커버리지를 확장 가능하다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 T-DMB 재난 방송을 재송신하는 수단으로 ISM 밴드와 연동할 경우 방송 음영지역 해소 및 재난 방송 수신율이 개선되어 국지적 재난에 대한 대국민 인명과 재산보호에 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

The central and local governments of the Republic of Korea provided information necessary for disaster response through wireless emergency alerts (WEAs) in order to overcome the pandemic situation in which COVID-19 rapidly spreads. Among all channels for delivering disaster information, wireless emergency alert is the most efficient, and since it adopts the CBS(Cell Broadcast Service) method that broadcasts directly to the mobile phone, it has the advantage of being able to easily access disaster information through the mobile phone without the effort of searching. In this study, the characteristics of wireless emergency alerts sent to Seoul during the past year and one month (January 2020 to January 2021) were derived through various text mining methodologies, and various types of information contained in wireless emergency alerts were analyzed. In addition, it was confirmed through the population mobility by age in the districts of Seoul that what kind of influence it had on the movement behavior of people. After going through the process of classifying key words and information included in each character, text analysis was performed so that individual sent characters can be used as an analysis unit by applying a document cluster analysis technique based on the included words. The number of WEAs sent to the Seoul has grown dramatically since the spread of Covid-19. In January 2020, only 10 WEAs were sent to the Seoul, but the number of the WEAs increased 5 times in March, and 7.7 times over the previous months. Since the basic, regional local government were authorized to send wireless emergency alerts independently, the sending behavior of related to wireless emergency alerts are different for each local government. Although most of the basic local governments increased the transmission of WEAs as the number of confirmed cases of Covid-19 increases, the trend of the increase in WEAs according to the increase in the number of confirmed cases of Covid-19 was different by region. By using structured econometric model, the effect of disaster information included in wireless emergency alerts on population mobility was measured by dividing it into baseline effect and accumulating effect. Six types of disaster information, including date, order, online URL, symptom, location, normative guidance, were identified in WEAs and analyzed through econometric modelling. It was confirmed that the types of information that significantly change population mobility by age are different. Population mobility of people in their 60s and 70s decreased when wireless emergency alerts included information related to date and order. As date and order information is appeared in WEAs when they intend to give information about Covid-19 confirmed cases, these results show that the population mobility of higher ages decreased as they reacted to the messages reporting of confirmed cases of Covid-19. Online information (URL) decreased the population mobility of in their 20s, and information related to symptoms reduced the population mobility of people in their 30s. On the other hand, it was confirmed that normative words that including the meaning of encouraging compliance with quarantine policies did not cause significant changes in the population mobility of all ages. This means that only meaningful information which is useful for disaster response should be included in the wireless emergency alerts. Repeated sending of wireless emergency alerts reduces the magnitude of the impact of disaster information on population mobility. It proves indirectly that under the prolonged pandemic, people started to feel tired of getting repetitive WEAs with similar content and started to react less. In order to effectively use WEAs for quarantine and overcoming disaster situations, it is necessary to reduce the fatigue of the people who receive WEA by sending them only in necessary situations, and to raise awareness of WEAs.

Current terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (T-DMB) is conducting the emergency alert broadcast, or can view a variety of broadcasting. However, propagation shadow area is a situation where the service is limited due to limitations of facilities investment. In addition, there is the problem of T-DMB broadcasting is for viewing only a restricted area and a mobile device because the mobile is also T-DMB viewing device impossible. In this paper, it receives a T-DMB broadcasting as a way to solve the problems of the T-DMB system, which was studied the re transmission to the mobile device. Accordingly, by receiving the broadcast may be watched in the mobile device the T-DMB reception impossible. Also provides a one-way/two-way authentication mechanism using a conditional access function, and the system was configured so that the user can watch only the registered broadcasting.

Recently terrestrial mobile multimedia broadcasting(T-DMB) service is being provided throughout the country are expanding and demand is increasing day by day. T-DMB has the advantage of being cheaper in cost than installing another mobile multimedia broadcasting. However, there are a variety data of additional and provide it difficult for localized emergency alert broadcasting services. In this paper, a method to solve this problem feature was designed to restrict incoming unidirectional / bidirectional authentication via T-DMB system. In the mobile device is received by the T-DMB broadcasting service authentication mechanism for re-transmission to the mobile device, and T-DMB receiving other registered users can view it impossible to receive the broadcast. Through the proposed system it is considered to be able to solve the problems of the existing T-DMB technology.
