Abstract

The severity of recent disasters is differentiated from previous ones in that the patterns of disasters appear widely. Although the concept of disasters is changing, most studies have focused on recovery of physical damage caused by disaster. This study intends to expand the scope of disaster response and suggest the necessity of community restoration through community policy.
 Recent disasters tend to be complex disasters combined with various factors within society. In order to systematically respond to such disasters, it is necessary to respond by expanding the scope of the time and space of the disaster. The concept and characteristics of community can also be presented from various perspectives. This paper focuses on the fact that communities can be given new roles in disaster situations. Following the conceptual approach to disasters and communities, this study looked at community programs in the Sewol-Ferry disaster. Although the response to the Sewol-Ferry disaster has not been completed, this case has the meaning of drawing up the agenda of community restoration in a disaster situation.
 In conclusion, this study emphasizes the need for a more expanded approach to national disaster response. In order to achieve the policy goal of community restoration, disaster response needs to expand the scope of its time and space. In addition, the application method of the community program should also examine various approaches.
