Although reinforcement of work intensity caused by the recent prosperity of shipbuilding businesses and the steady increasing of results which produces orders has difficulties with heavy workload, unique work circumstance in shipbuilding industry where main and subcontractor do the job together is not easy to manage its safety systematically. According to KOSHA(Korea Occupational Safety & Health Agency), there were 2, 587 deaths of 95,806 disaster victims a year on average for late 6 years(2003-2008), therein 36,605 disaster victims and 646 death in manufacture where shipbuilding have 2,287 victims, 6.25% of total disaster victims and 45 deaths, 6.97%. Moreover it shows much higher accident rate in shipbuilding industry in Korea than well developed countries in this industry as Japan, Singapore, Taiwan and so it does about 3 to 10 times higher in case of death. Compared to Japan with a shipbuilding competition of orders received system, 2 times and 2.3 times higher for each and it is more than 2 times higher than accident rate of all domestic industries. These increasing of disaster result in a labor-management dispute and it is necessary that more positive efforts and investments because there occurs blind spot, neglected industry safety and health management by lack of them, Therefore this study, for the effective safety and health management of shipbuilding industry, attempts to analyze risk on kinds of ships and budget needed in safety management through classifying ships that are being made recently by three dominate major companies. For this, we carried out a survey and interview targeting experts related to shipbuilding industry and used AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) for result analysis. It is considered that cost of safety and health management will be spent more effectively on the results about risk on kinds of ships and budget needed in safety management in the study and that this study can contribute to decreasing disasters in shipbuilding industry.

Purpose: In order to establish a safety management system led by an orderer in the construction industry, the orderer should be positioned at the peak of the construction industry safety management system and a system that can effectively support safety supervisors who can assist the orderer's role should be reflected. Method: This study collected and analyzed data on the status of safety management of construction business owners through prior research on safety management of construction business owners and a survey on the actual condition of those involved in the construction business. Results: The top priority is to improve the safety awareness and safety management capabilities of the orderer, and through these efforts, the orderer-led safety management system will be established when a national consensus on the responsibility of the orderer, such as the Serious Accident Punishment Act and the Occupational Safety and Health Act, is formed in the event of an accident such as a serious accident. Conclusion: In order to establish a safety management system led by an orderer in the construction industry, it contributes to disaster prevention by positioning the orderer at the peak of the construction safety management system and reflecting a system that can effectively support safety supervisors who can assist the orderer's role.

The absence of present accurate geospatial information can cause us to undergo severe problems in controlling the complicate and multiplicate disaster. Our country is trying to build the Disaster Spatial Data Infrastructure (DSDI), and the key information is the national framework data. This study aims to investigate the characteristics of disaster spatial data, and analyze the present conditions and problems of national framework data, and suggest the way to improve for the GIS application system. In order to provide a wide range of services through the national geospatial data integration system, the data management authority should be established to maintain the consistency of quality and data accuracy of the entire national spatial data infrastructure. In addition, the step-by-step update plan of the national geospatial data should be determined by means of the framework data. And the basic data (lowest common denominator) should be formulated to maintain the data consistency of national spatial information infrastructure.

This study is to explore the development of Korean National Emergency Management System. For the study's purpose, the concept of Emergency, Emergency Management and the existing system and related laws of National Emergency Management have been reviewed. In South Korea, the concept of National Emergency Management contains the variety concept of emergency management; safety management, security management, risk management and disaster management etc. and sometimes using them interchangeably. In addition, there are several laws related to emergency management, making different agencies managing inter-related emergency without nationalized coordination and control tower that results in ineffective management of national emergency. This study attempts to clarify the concept of national emergency and to suggest the necessity of National Integrated Emergency Management System(IEMS). Then, it suggests existing system and related laws's integrate for the development of South Korean National Emergency Management System.

The government policy had placed new construction as the kernel of the investment in the road department. This had been shifted, however, since the government's budget of the road department reached its peak in 2000, new construction had came to a downsizing phase while the maintenance increased gradually. Considering this recent trend, the necessity of a new paradigm in the road policy had came to a fore, in order to prove the justification of increase in the maintenance budget as well as successfully fulfill the user's needs in the service quality. The developed countries that had intensively constructed social infrastructure in 1950-60s are enjoying a great achievement by applying the asset management concept in coping with the deterioration of the public facilities. This research suggests the basic framework in establishing "Korean Road Asset Management System" designed to efficiently manage the national road. The main feature of this system is to absorb economic analysis course into the current pavement management system, in order to form not only long-lasting but also preventive road management policy.

In Korea for 20 years(1993-2012), total number and average annual number of oil spills were 6,608 cases and total volume and average annual volume of oils spilt were $57,328k{\ell}$ and nearly $2,866k{\ell}/year$, respectively. The annual number of oil spills and annual amount of oil spilt tended to decrease with the lapse of year in Korea. As oil transportation worldwide continues to increase, many communities are at risk of oil spill disasters and must anticipate and prepare for them. Factors that influence oil spill consequences are myriad and rage from the biophysical to the social. In this paper, we analysed the emergency response systems and recovery apparatuses for oil spill accident in marine and proposed a developed oil diffusion apparatus which can be used to initial response stage by crew, and to extend golden times. This system can be minimized casualties for rescued people in disaster.

In the entire process of disaster management, it is very significant to construct related information as well as perform quantitative assessment of damage losses with respect to minimizing the effect of disasters. Many countries have paid much attention not only to studying risk assessment methodologies including constructing inventories, hazard mapping, vulnerability assessment and direct/indirect damage loss estimation, but also to developing risk analysis tools investigated in this paper. We conducted comparison studies of representative earthquake damage risk analysis tools, and the result of this study is able to provide useful information to decision makers and researchers who can contribute to development of effective disaster management.

In recent years, the number of cases caused by people such as forest fires has been increasing, so it is very important for the whole nation to prevent and practice forest fires. In addition, due to climate change around the world, many lives and disaster losses are increasing due to forest fire-related disasters, and in the last 10 years (2014-2023), there have been 5,668 forest fires and 40,037 hectares of damage, which is equivalent to 56,000 football fields, resulting in 19 casualties and 285.4 billion won in damages. Now, in order to improve the understanding and awareness of forest fires among all the people, the government should actively inform the people about how to act in the event of a forest fire by making the people's action tips related to forest fires easy to understand and practical through public relations activities. In addition, the public and the government should work together to prevent and prepare for forest fires before they occur.
