한일 양국의 재난안전정보 다국어지원 현황 연구

Abstract

In this thesis, the current status of multilingual emergency disaster information in Korea and Japan is examined for ways that foreigners residing in Korea can more accurately understand ‘emergency disaster information’ in a situation of disaster that needs to be responded to urgently. In the case of Korea, the scope of multilingual support services and information delivery media has been expanded based on the multilingual support measures established and implemented at the Government level so far, and there have been tangible results ranging from local governments and private sector activities. However, the type and degree of services provided differ by each institution and local government, and the focus was mainly on marriage immigrants and foreign workers. Therefore, international students, foreign nationals, refugees, seasonal workers who are short􋹲term residents, tourists, etc. still can’t get information in case of a disaster. So, the problem of blind spots needs to be solved. In contrast, in the case of Japan, they are preparing a plan to provide the disaster safety information in a timely manner to protect them, not only for foreign migrants and workers, but also for all foreign residents including international students and tourists. For the purpose, a system that can effectively deliver information to foreigners is being established by utilizing “Foreigner support information coordinator in the event of a disaster” and establishing a “Disaster Multilingual Support Center.” In the future, with reference to Japan's disaster information provision policy, etc., it seems that measures should be prepared to protect them by expanding the scope of policy targets, so that any foreigner residing in Korea, regardless of the purpose of their stay or institution, can obtain the disaster safety information without being alienated. In addition, the establishment of a multilingual service support institution should be promoted to integrate and systematize multilingual disaster safety information produced and distributed separately through a conservative approach in each case of a major disaster so far.
