This paper presents development of a classification system for an electrical fire investigation. In order to reduce an electrical fires and establish detailed prevention plans, the collection of an electrical fire causes and base data are very important. Based on this data, a new classification system for an electrical fire investigation was developed and the direction to the classification system was suggested by fundamental analysis. All of the collected information is analyzed by bottom-up method. Criteria items which based on base data were categorized to classify items. The classification of items were found out as follows : basic condition fire scene condition, fire sign, fire cause. Particularly, the fire cause category is classified. A new developed classification system for an electrical fire investigation will be used to analyse electrical fires easily and efficiently.

Recently, there is an increase in fire incidents in building structures. Due to this, the importance of fire-damaged buildings' safety diagnosis and evaluation after fire is growing. However, the existing fire-damaged safety diagnosis and evaluation methods are personnel-oriented, so the diagnostic results are intervened by investigators' subjectivity and unquantified. Thus, improper repair and reinforcement can result in secondary damage accidents and economic losses. In order to overcome these limitations, this study proposes using 3D laser scanning technology. The case analysis of fire-damaged building structures was conducted to verify the effectiveness of accuracy and manpowering by comparing the existing method and the proposed method. The proposed method using 3D laser scanning technology to obtain point cloud data of fire-damaged field. The point cloud data and BIM model is combined to inspect the fire-damaged area and depth. From inspection, quantified repair and reinforcement quantity take-off can be acquired. Also, the proposed method saves half of the manpowering within same time period compared to the existing method. Therefore, it seems that using 3D laser scanning technology in fire-damaged safety diagnosis and evaluation will improve in accuracy and saving time and manpowering.

The actual condition of safety management and problems for hazardous material facilities in national industrial complex are investigated and analyzed in fields of hazardous material facilities safety, fire fighting equipment safety, building safety, space safety. In most cases, the failure to comply with legal requirements and the maintenance of fire safety have been pointed out. As a result, the total number of problems identified was 466 and problems in the field of hazardous material facilities safety have been pointed out the most. Also, it was analyzed that the number of problems identified in the manufacturing facilities and general handling centers among the hazardous materials facilities was the highest. Therefore, it will contribute to strengthening the safety management capability of the national industrial complex in the future by suggesting the convergence direction of the safety diagnosis system and the systematic introduction of the precise safety diagnosis.

It is very important to evaluate how the functions of products, facilities, and spaces affect human life. The evaluation of these actions has legal regulations such as certification, inspection, and diagnosis, and the degree of quality, safety, and excellence of the results is announced. This study sought to secure safety through efficient system operation by reviewing safety-related certification systems established and implemented by each government department in Korea and analyzing the characteristics of each system and similarities between systems. There was also an aspect of cross-checking safety through the certification and diagnosis system implemented by each ministry, but it was confirmed that the efficiency of the system should also be considered in terms of overlapping application. Therefore, when securing safety is confirmed based on each safety-related law, active alternatives such as exemption, substitution, delegation, etc. should be presented.

Fast and accurate diagnosis is needed to eradicate and manage economically important and invasive diseases like fire blight. Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is known as the best on-site diagnostic, because it is fast, highly specific to a target, and less sensitive to inhibitors in samples. In this study, LAMP assay that gives more consistent results for on-site diagnosis of fire blight than the previous developed LAMP assays was developed. Primers for new LAMP assay (named as DS-LAMP) were designed from a histidine-tRNA ligase gene (EAMY_RS32025) of E. amylovora CFBP1430 genome. The DS-LAMP amplified DNA (positive detection) only from genomic DNA of E. amylovora strains, not from either E. pyrifoliae (causing black shoot blight) or from Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae (causing shoot blight on apple trees). The detection limit of DS-LAMP was 10 cells per LAMP reaction, equivalent to $10^4$ cells per ml of the sample extract. DS-LAMP successfully diagnosed the pathogens on four fire-blight infected apple and pear orchards. In addition, it could distinguish black shoot blight from fire blight. The $B{\ddot{u}}hlmann$-LAMP, developed previously for on-site diagnosis of fire blight, did not give consistent results for specificity to E. amylovora and on-site diagnosis; it gave positive reactions to three strains of E. pyrifoliae and two strains of P. syringae pv. syringae. It also, gave positive reactions to some healthy sample extracts. DS-LAMP, developed in this study, would give more accurate on-site diagnosis of fire blight, especially in the Republic of Korea, where fire blight and black shoot blight coexist.

This paper presents a study on application of expert system technique for the diagnosis of fire-causes in plants. A need is recognized for new methods to diagnose exactly the causes of fires without the help of the human experts. To cope with the difficulty, the expert system techiuque is applied to this area. The expert system suggested in this paper is developed to infer the causes of fires(or, ignition source ) by using the information drawn from the circumstances in fire. For the convenience of inference, ignition sources we classified into eight types ; elecoic spark, adiabatic compression, welding spark, material of high temperature, impact and friction, spontaneous ignition, naked fire, and static electricity. The knowledge base is composed of the rule base and dynamic database, which contain the rules and facts obtained by the expenence in this area, respectively. Both depth-first search and backward chaining schemes are used in reasoning process. This expert system is written in an artificial intelligence language "PROLOG", and its availability is demonstrated through the case study.

Our research group, which was organized by the South Korean and Japanese researchers, have carried out research about natural disaster in our regional heritage villages derived from the concept of ICT(information communication technology)-based DPD(disaster prevention design). In this research, we performed simulation analysis on the fire safety diagnosis in Asan-Oeam folk and JeonjuHanok village for developing our research of ICT-based PBD. In order to do this, we used fire simulation program which was developed by BRI(Building Research Institute) of Japan. Based on the results of fire simulation of Asan-Oeam folk and JeonjuHanokvillage, we can demonstrated that the fire which broken out inregional heritage folk village will be easily expanded to adjacent houses, because the house which are built with wood structure.

This paper presents an electrical fire diagnosis system using intellectual reasoning which is the mixed approach of the case-based reasoning with the knowledge-based reasoning A prototype system is implemented using Delphi, one of the program development tools under windows environment, for making an application program for database. And database is builded using Paradox. The results of applying the system to some imaginary fire cases to verify its capability and validity show that the causes of fires is successfully diagnosed, so the proposed system proves to be reasonable.
