In this study, the characteristics and the status of disaster management in rural area were analyzed. Through this study, we tried to find ways to cooperate with public and private organizations to manage disaster in rural areas. In order to understand the current state of disaster management in rural areas, we surveyed the residents and disaster management officials of local governments. As a result of the survey, both public servants and residents answered that it is difficult for residents to participate in disaster management. This is due to lack of time due to agriculture as the main business. The SWOT analysis and strategy of rural disaster management were derived through the analysis of these surveys. In addition, five types of disaster management network and two types of operation were proposed. Therefore, it is necessary to establish the management plan of the rural disaster management public-private network in the rural area. Further research is needed in depth on each of the operational measures in the future.

This study has purpose on deducting problems of evacuation plan for vulnerable populations in disaster and suggesting improvement plan through analysis of disaster weakness in domestic rural region aiming at vulnerable populations in disaster like old people containing most of domestic rural population, sometimes being in blind spot of safety when landslide or disaster occur. As a result, we could know that rural regions have high proportion of vulnerable populations in disaster like old people, also being so weak to landslide and slope collapse. So we suggested development of manual describing prevention of disaster and evacuation for vulnerable populations in disaster like old people and disaster evacuation organization for house and minimizing solution for damage of human life through improvement of steep slope evaluation criteria.

This study intends to conduct a thorough research and analysis on the designated temporary residential facilities for the disaster victims in order to bridge the gap between the temporary residential facilities for the disaster victims in country and city, and understand the current status of the designated temporary residential facilities for the disaster victims in rural and urban areas. As a result, the designated temporary residential facilities for the disaster victims in urban areas are bigger and have higher capacity, implying the necessity to designate facilities in rural areas that can accommodate larger number of people. As to the analysis of the representative temporary residential facilities for the disaster victims in rural areas, different regions had different types of designated facilities and the number of facilities also showed big difference depending on regions. So it is believed that local governments should improve the process and system of designating temporary residential facilities for the disaster victims.
