The damage caused by natural and human disasters has been increasing year by year. While the damage from these disasters are unavoidable, reduction of damage level by proper establishment of control measures could be sufficiently achievable. Disaster prevention resources include resources introduced in the event of disaster, such as human, materials, equipments and facilities. Rapid yet proper inputs of these resources are the key factor to minimize any damages from the disaster. Currently, however, the standard and/or criteria for mobilization of the disaster prevention resources have not yet systematically established. Therefore, proper resource management as well as efficient resource input has not been in place. This research is an early stage construction of efficient mobilization resources, which had been irregularly loaded and applied before. Also this study has tried to provide a classification rule for efficient disaster prevention resource management and mobilization, and indeed, provide a foundation for efficient resource management system.

Purpose: This descriptive research study aimed to investigate the knowledge and perception of the natural disaster medical system by relevant disaster medical response teams in Jeonnam region, and provide baseline data for a disaster education program based on analysis of priorities of educational demand. Methods: Online questionnaires were distributed to 200 research participants including paramedics from five fire stations in J province, 22 public health centers, two disaster base hospitals, ERU (Emergency Response Units), and DMAT (Disaster Medical Assistance Team). The questionnaires elicited basic information about respondents, their knowledge and perception on disaster preparation and response, cooperation system, and educational and training needs. Results: The top priority items selected were: other disasters for paramedics, first aid for the rapid response team, and command system for DMAT. Conclusion: Customized education and training programs must be developed to suit each organizational need. Detailed operational guidelines must be established and with them a unified educational curriculum should be put into practice.

Since the damages caused by disasters increase every year associated with wrenching climatic changes and the diversification of the social structure, the efficient management system is required to reduce damages and an assessment of the vulnerable disaster areas is necessary to prevent and mitigate the damages. In this paper, we have estimated the vulnerable disaster areas based on the records of the past damage histories and performed the risk assessment of the social infrastructures in Busan city to provide the fundamental information for the real-time monitoring system and the systematic approach for disaster prevention system to build V-City model. These results are illustrated by using Geographical Information System (GIS) and the order of vulnerable disaster areas are also estimated.

Flooding caused by torrential rains and landslide causes the deaths of people and property damage as well as traffic congestion and isolation. Driver enters the dangerous area when driver doesn't recognize disaster information on the road and the damage is spread over time. In this paper, we will develop a smart phone application to collect dangerous disaster area information and a system based on C/S to manage the data received from the smart phone application. This system can analyze dangerous disaster areas using the data received from the smart phone application and the spatial database analyzed dangerous disaster areas is displayed in the smart phone application using a map server. We think that the suggested system provides more efficient information to user.

The research on the effect of the prestressing force on the frequency of PSC(Prestressed Concrete beam) has been conducted theoretically and experimentally, and a few theory has been presented. However, the presented theories show no agreement in predicting the effect of the prestressing force. In this paper, the theories on the effect of the prestressing force on the frequency of PSC beam are presented and evaluated using the experimental result. To obtain the experimental result, two PSC beam specimens were manufactured, and the modal test and analysis were performed. The modal analysis results revealed that the prestressing force increased the natural frequency of the PSC beam. Comparing predicted results using existing theories show that Kim's model, which substitutes the prestressing tendon with the equivalent beam, gives the best prediction result.

본 논문에서는 데이터 수집 자동화를 기반으로 한 자연재해 피해 통계 사이트를 구현한다. 자연재해 피해액 데이터는 국민 재난 안전 포털 사이트[1]에 자연재난 상황 통계 데이터를 사용하였다. Python 라이브러리인 Selenium을 활용하여 웹 브라우저를 제어해 자연재해 데이터를 쿼리문으로 변환 후 데이터베이스에 저장하는 자동화 프로그램을 사용한다. 또한 nncron을 활용해 6개월마다 한 번씩 자동으로 프로그램이 실행되도록 한다. 자연재해 종류에 따른 연도별, 시도 구역 자연재해 피해액을 웹사이트로 시각화하여 보여준다. 웹사이트 구현은 React.js와 Node.js를 활용하여 구현하였다.

We introduces a system that enables fast and effective visualization of natural disaster data such as typhoons, tsunamis, floods, and flooding to help make informed decisions in disaster situations. Data containing disaster information consists of a few hundred megabytes to many tens and hundreds of gigabytes, which can not be handled by a PC. This system was implemented in the form of a client-server based service to generate and output results from high-performance servers. The server in a built-in, high-performance cluster handles client requests and sends the result of visualization to the client. Clients can receive the results in any form of images, videos, or 3D graphic model by specifying a desired time frame, effectively viewing the results with a user-friendly GUI.

Typhoons Rusa (2002) and Maemi (2003) struck Kangwon and Gyeongnam provinces of Korea and caused the most extensive flood damages ever blown since the foundation of Meteorological Agency in 1927. Many cities are inundated, crippling the critical facilities and resulting In high irreversible losses of human lives, and damages to infrastructures. These kinds of flood damages were among the worst natural disaster that Korean people experienced. In order to reduce flood damage, it is necessary to investigate how to use the information of water environment during the rainfall disaster. Therefore as per the result of this study, we have suggested few but effective countermeasures for controlling the flooding damages and also the advancements in the areas of disaster information dissemination and early warning system for water environmental management by using optical fiber system in Japan are discussed.

In Korea, national information infrastructure has been grown well because of the rapid growth and supply of Internet, but threats of cyber terror and cyber war are also increasing. Cyber attacks on knowledge information society threaten industry, economy and security. Major countries realize that cyber attacks can cause national heavy loss. So, they are trying to adopt policy on their cyber safe. And natural environmental crisises are increasing around the world. Countries such as India and Philippine in which tsunami, typhoon and earthquake are often occurring have national systematic disaster management system that can prevent and recover. We need systematic management for prevention and recovery from cyber terror, and need to establish national cyber disaster management system. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze major countries's cyber security policy and suggest a method of establishing the national cyber disaster management system.

The whole world has been damaged by dramatic increase of natural disasters such as localized torrential downpour, earthquake and drought, while suffering from climate changes caused by global warming. In Korea where the continental climate and oceanic one are crossed, the frequency and the size of damages are increased by stronger typhoons and localized torrential downpours and landslides, storms and floods. Therefore, this study analyzed damage cases and their causes and examined foreign plans to prevent natural disasters, by limiting to rural villages where serious damages occur due to typhoons and localized torrential downpours and measures and infra-structures against such disasters are poorly prepared. From the findings, it attempts to suggest some plans to establish disaster safety villages by abstracting plan factors applicable to rural areas in Korea, on the basis of facilities and spatial projects.
