  • In recent years, the natural damage associated with flood disaster has been dramatically increased. However, there is no rational method which reflects urban characteristics to estimate the regional safety assessment for flood disaster. The purpose of this study is to develop the regional safety assesment model for urban flood. Flood risk and reduction assesment were estimated by using the linear sum of the Z score of the assessment factors and the weight value of each factor from the expert survey data. And then the regional safety assessment was estimated by subtracting reduction factor value from risk factor value. GIS tool was used to estimate the factor assesment and integrated regional safety. This study can be used to determine the priority of flood protection project, execute the flood insurance and establish the urban plans and the flood mitigate plan.

  • The extreme weather events have increased around the world this century. One of the main reasons of frequent occurrence is the change of atmospheric circulation by El nino. also Korea Peninsular is not exception. The 97 % of death toll and 89 % of property loss of total are related with extreme-weather events for the last 10 years. for example the heavy rainfall (1998-4999) and Typhoon Rusa and Mamie. In spite of the percent of death toll by extreme-weather disaster is increasing and the total population is growing. but the number of death toll from natural disasters is decreasing. It shows that the loss of property and life can be minimize by preparing the proper disaster prevention measures. There are several preparations to reduce the damage by extreme-weather events: Public facilities have overall check up, to recognize the weather alert, the awareness of the escape route and the art of measures

  • In view of the rapid development of economics and technology, perilous meteorological and geological conditions often cause natural disasters and result in severe loss of lives and properties in Taiwan. To promote multi-hazard mitigation strategies in an integrated a, pp.oach, the National Science Council established a National Science and Technology Program for Disaster Mitigation in January 1998. This program emphasizes on the implementation of research results in the National Disaster Management System. This paper describes the earthquake loss estimation methodology that is currently developed in Taiwan. Topics of potential earth science hazards (PESH) and building vulnerability analysis are described in detail.

  • There has been tighten up the need of seismic retrofit about 31 public facilites since published "Korean Earthquake Damage Prevention Law". Therefore, seismic studies have been developed and enforced the studies. Measuring dynamic stiffness of subsurface materials influence on seismic performance evaluation to build up seismic retrofit. The soil dynamic properties for seismic performance evaluation are N-value from using SPT(standard penetration test), dynamic shear elastic modulus and dynamic deformation modulus using laboratory tests. The most unscientific element in ground dynamic properties involved uncertainties is obviously N-value using SPT. This study shows that effect of N-value included natural and artificial uncertainties to seismic performance evaluation of ground structures is not only approached probabilistic analysis using FOSM method and tornado diagram, but also review how to spread effect of seismic performance evaluation of ground structures.

  • Since the natural disasters such as floods, droughts, heat wave and cold wave are increasing, the need for risk management is necessary to minimize the damage with utilizing IT technology. Also, the monitoring services of disaster response type have been developed and applied. Recently, the open source hardware based on the signal of the sensor, or the monitoring studies have been carried. In this paper, by analyzing a low-cost open source hardware platform such as Beagle board, we examine the utilization of the hardware-based module for sensor monitoring.

  • 기후온난화, 국지성 호우 및 대규모 태풍으로 인한 피해가 증대되면서 사회 경제적 손실 또한 날로 증가하고 있어 재해로 인한 피해 발생가능성을 효율적으로 예측하는 모델을 통한 선제적 대응이 필요하다. 재난 재해의 위험성 분석 방법은 주로 확률 통계기법을 기반으로 하는 연구가 주류를 이루었으나, 본 논문에서는 포착된 현상의 데이터를 이용해 그 데이터를 지배하는 경험적 규칙성을 학습하고 획득하는데 다른 기법보다 탁월한 성능을 가진 신경망 모델을 적용하여 자연재해 피해예측 모델을 연구하였다. 1991년부터 2005년 사이에 우리나라에서 발생한 자연재해의 피해자료와 기상개황 자료를 이용하여 지역별 자연재해로 인한 피해를 예측하는 신경망 모델은 우리나라 232개 행정구역에 대하여 누적강우량과 최대풍속, 그리고 재해사상 발생 5일 이내의 선행강우량을 입력변수로 하고 총 피해액을 출력변수로 한다. 또한 학습을 통한 최적의 해를 찾기 위해 신경망의 매개변수 학습률, 모멘텀, 편의값을 유전자알고리즘으로 결정하여 학습을 수행 하였다.

  • The frequency and scale of natural disasters are rapidly increasing due to global warming. Over time, the academic community has conducted numerous studies on post-disaster reconstruction projects. Additionally, international organizations have provided various guidelines for executing these projects efficiently. In this study, we examined and analyzed several influencing factors based on existing research to improve approaches to reconstruction projects. Although generalizing results from limited studies can be challenging, our findings suggest that "Assessing the extent of damage to facilities requiring reconstruction" should be prioritized in the implementation of reconstruction projects.

  • Korea, old buildings do not currently have earth-resistant facilities, and disaster prevention facilities have some limitation in responding properly to damage arising from natural disaster as they do not reflect recently occurring climatic changes. Accordingly, it is necessary to select vulnerable districts by taking into consideration the possibility of disaster occurrence and the current situation of infrastructures for disaster prevention in order to responding efficiently to future unexpected disasters. For this purpose, national government has recently formed the DB linkage council for disaster prevention under the participation of related agencies and constructed integrated database. But local governments have not properly provided it with basic data necessary to construct database, resulting in the delay of the project. Therefore, it is thought that national government needs to provide them with manpower and financial support.

  • Since disaster-safety accidents cause serious damage to human life and property, preparations and responses have been critically challenged by the country and industry. Recently, the government and industry have recognized its importance and are seeking solutions to the causes of disasters in various ways. If virtual reality technology is actively used, it will be easier to prepare and train for disasters, as the social costs will be reduced. However, academic research on this has not been actively studied. In particular, it seems difficult to seek data that comprehensively analyzes or organizes disaster-safety with virtual reality contents. In this paper, we analyze the current status of domestic and overseas focused on virtual reality disaster/safety contents, examine its characteristics, and point out the direction required for advanced service in the future. To this end, the implications of the numerical data of the accident type have been derived, and the direction of development of public institutions, academic research, and industry have also been investigated. Finally, technical considerations are presented as well.

  • In order to manage traffic operations efficiently, it is required to establish evacuation strategies, including path, disaster prevention, and signal control. This is because the delayed response of operators would cause dreadful loss of our community. Therefore, it is very important to do the research related to traffic disaster prevention system. In this paper, we select the City of Cheongju as a study area since lots of damage resulting from natural disaster such as storm and flood have been frequently taken place. In addition, this paper suggest traffic disaster prevention measures and analyzed its effect on signal operation to achieve high level of traffic efficiency. As a result, traffic flow is similar to normal condition when we applied developed signal operation method. It is also demonstrated if disaster information is spread out as fast as it can be, and signal operation is managed properly in case by case, we conclude that user safety has to be secured.
