  • In this study, the UAV (Unmammed Aerial Vehicle) was applied for the photogrammetry of the construction site and the safety management of steel pipe scaffold. The research site is a temporary facility for building reinforcement on Samcheok Campus of Kangwon National University. The installation condition of the steel pipe scaffold was investigated, and the pillar distance, the beam distance and the wale distance were surveyed. As a result, it was found that the beam distance of the scaffold in the longitudinal direction was in good agreement with the standard, but the pillar distance and the wale distance were found to be less than the standard. Three-dimensional data can be used in drone shooting to enable three-dimensional measurement, so that it is possible to measure facilities hidden or located inside other facilities. Through the drone shooting, the condition of the site can be quickly recorded and the surveying can be carried out without interfering with the work of the field personnel. Although the installation of the temporary structure must be strictly observed to ensure the safety of the workers, it is found that the installation standards are still neglected in the field. In order to prevent this practice, it was thought that the legal system should be supplemented so that it could be checked periodically by using UAV in the field process management.

  • Mobile Virtual Private Network (MVPN) provides VPN services without geographical restriction to mobile workers using mobile devices. Coexistence of Mobile IP (MIP) protocol for mobility and IPsec-based VPN technology are necessary in order to provide continuous VPN service to mobile users. However, Problems like registration failure or frequent IPsec tunnel re-negotiation occur when IPsec-based VPN Gateway (GW) and MIP are used together. In order to solve these problems, IETF proposes a mechanism which uses external home agent (x-HA) located external to the corporate VPN GW. In addition, based on the IETF proposal, a mechanism that assigns x-HA dynamically in the networks where MN is currently located was also proposed with the purpose to reduce handover latency as well as end-to-end delay. However, this mechanism has problems such as exposure of a session key for dynamic Mobility Security Association (MSA) or a long latency in case of the handover between different networks. In this paper, we propose a new MVPN protocol in order to minimize handover latency, enhance the security in key exchange, and to reduce data losses cause by handover. Through a course of simulation, the performance of proposed protocol is compared with the existing mechanism.

  • This study investigates the limitations of blockchain technology and the ways to improve it by using Delphi technique. Limit factors and improvement measures are classified into technology, service, and legal system. First, from a technical point of view, lack of standardization of the technology, insufficiency of integration, lack of scalability, unclear cancellation or correction policy, excessive cost of transaction verification, insufficient personal information protection and not enough to respond to hacking defense were the limiting factors. In order to improve these, the followings; ensuring standardization, securing integration and scalability, establishing cancellation of each applicable data, establishment of correction policy, efficiency of verification cost, the protection of personal information and countermeasure against hacking are provided. The related technology development and countermeasures must be established to effectively introduce the blockchain technology to the market. Second, in the early stage of blockchain service, it showed lack of utilization of the blockchain, security threat, shortage of skilled workers, and lack of legal liability. As a solution to these problems, it is necessary to suggest various applications, against security threat, training professional manpower, and securing legal responsibility. It should also provide a foundation for providing institutionally stable services. Third, from as legal system point of view, inadequate legal compliance, lack of relevant regulation, and uncertainty in the regulation were the limiting factors. Therefore establishing a legal system, which is the most important area for activating the service, should be accompanied by the provision of legal countermeasures, clearness of regulations and measures to be taken by relevant governmental authorities. This study will contribute as a reference for a research, related to the blockchain.

  • The purpose of this study is to analyze the current status of counter terrorism system and to identify the causes of problems and to suggest alternatives by selecting legal and operational sectors based on theories of open systems and integrated systems. According to the results of the research, first, the degree of agreement on the open system and the integrated system is low with regard to the characteristics of the counter-terrorism system. Second, in relation to the importance and necessity of major factors of construction and operation of counter-terrorism system, counter-terrorism workers recognize that it is the most important and necessary. In the case of strengthening international cooperative system, the difference of recognition between importance and necessity was the biggest. The importance and necessity of reviewing the Anti-Terrorism Act for the protection of the public and public safety were relatively low, and the cooperation with the private sector showed the lowest importance and necessity. In the case of academic achievement, the average level of high school graduates is higher than that of professional high school graduates. Therefore, this research concludes that counter terrorism operation system with open and integrated system has to be applied to national counter terrorism operation structure in South Korea in increasing the quality and efficiency of nation counter terrorism response capability.

  • As information security(IS) is recognized as an organization's core value, organizations are making efforts to adopt strict IS policies and technologies. However, strict IS policies can cause negative behavior for employees of organizations who need to apply IS to their work. This study confirms that IS can express the role stress of employees, and suggests a way to mitigate the IS role stress. Specifically, we confirm that organization justice and individual social identity can reduce IS role stress, which reduces IS voice behavior. In the study, we surveyed workers of organizations that applied IS policies to their work and obtained 318 samples. Also, we tested the hypothesis by applying the structural equation model. As a result, IS organization justice increased IS voice behavior through social identity and partially reduced IS voice behavior by mitigating IS role stress. In addition, social identity moderated the relationship between IS role stress and IS voice behavior. This study suggests strategies for achieving internal IS goals by suggesting conditions for mitigating IS role stress from an organizational and individual perspective.

  • The major purpose of this study is to find the problems that the statistics of industrial accidents showed and to prevent the preventive countermeasures for effective security management. An industrial accident is a disease resulting from exposure during employment to condition or substance detrimental to health or life. This is caused by the conditions of employment and is not projected by the man. This results generally from the comprehensive factors. The claiments of 1990 are 7,542,752 members and the economic deficit is up to 2,696,757 million won. Because of this severe damage, the preventive of the industrial accident is highly required. The way of preventive countermeasures could be presentation as follows. First, for securing the safety, precaution about the tools, machineries and working condition is needed from the time of installation. Second, a traing system for the managerial class the specialists or engineers should be established. Cultivation of the appropriate personnel and enhancement of technique for safety are prerequists for reduction of the industrial accidents. Third, the health checkup system must be improved. For the prevention of the occupational disease and good health of the workes, experts who knows workers health must be appointed. In conclusion, industrial accident is not unavoidable result of the advance of the industries but the result of the incapability of management that can not meet the requirement necessary for the prevention of industrial accident. Therefore, each corporation should be regard the above mention and make effective safety control that is free from the industrial accident. The implement of organizational safety programs, similar to the application of company health plan, involves shared administrative responsibilities among top executive line personnel, staff specialists, first line supervisors, and organizational employment.

  • Nowadays, the power quality issue becomes very important in the electric distribution system. Especially, when a distribution transformer is replaced, the customers who are supplied electricity from the transformer feel inconvenience due to electric outage. Therefore, an advanced method for the distribution transformer replacement without outage is strongly required. The conventional method is the primary-secondary high voltage bypass method according to the transformer utilization factor and the field condition. But it is inconvenient and has some problems such as breakdown and security troubles of the workers according to the unauthorized and temporary work. Therefore, the new scheme for the replacement with uninterruptable power supply is demanded. This paper proposes the new replacement method using the phase converter. The proposed method can reduces the process of replacement work and also ensures worker's safety. Therefore, the method is reasonable in comparison with the conventional method. The proposed method is able to contribute the national economy growth and elevate the convenience of national life by uninterruptable power supply.
