Factors Influencing Citizen’s Safety Consciousness for Responding to Future Disasters

In terms of future societies, the diversity and complexity of new disasters are increasing. Given physical measures cannot solely address large-scale complex disasters in the future, elevating public safety consciousness and establishing it as a core value becomes essential. This study empirically analyzed the influencing factors that contribute to the improvement of safety awareness regarding future disaster risks. Citizens' age, whether they were a disaster-vulnerable group, local safety awareness, risk awareness, whether response measures were discussed, and the level of satisfaction with disaster safety policies in the prevention and recovery stages were identified as sig nificant influencing factors. The expected results are anticipated to lay the foundation for policies and systems capable of promoting future safety consciousness.

Assessment of comprehensive school safety in Vietnam: From policy to practice

Since the first School Safety Program launched by the Ministry of Education and Training in 2007, Vietnam has promoted various multi-sectoral activities to advance school safety nationwide. This study aims to identify the opportunities to advance school disaster safety by assessing policies and practices in Vietnam. A framework adapted from the ASEAN Comprehensive School Safety Framework and School Disaster Resilience Assessment is utilized to evaluate policy coverage and implementation level of school safety in Vietnam. The study systematically reviewed legal documents at national level, followed by questionnaire surveys conducted for primary schools in Da Nang City, which was selected as a pilot evaluation site owing to its vulnerability to natural disasters and extensive records of school safety practices. Results show that the most critical elements of school safety have been reflected in existing policy documents and regulations. However, the gap between policies and implementation remains due to the inadequacy of school safety viewpoint, designated roles and responsibilities, resources, and guidelines for supporting the school safety practices at the local level. The findings emphasize the importance of a national school safety framework that enables institutional and resource arrangements for better practices at the local level.

This study was conducted on the safety management of multi-use facilities using a disaster safety management system evaluation model, focusing on the case of Company A. Sports facilities within multi-use facilities are used by an unspecified number of people and require quick judgment and initial response from safety managers in the event of an emergency. In the event of an emergency such as a fire, it is important to respond to the delay in evacuation time for users of sports facilities on the top floor. The building managed by Company A has facilities such as a swimming pool, fitness center, sauna, indoor golf course, and yoga𐄁pilates room located on the top floor. We analyzed Company A's case of sports facilities in a building that is both a complex building and a multi-use facility. The building in question is located in Seoul, and the safety management case of Company A was studied in the following order building safety organization and system establishment, safety management capabilities, safety management activities, education and training, and evaluation feedback. Through this, we studied key management issues and vulnerabilities requiring safety in multi-use facilities, as well as cases of fire drills and evacuation measures to prepare for disaster occurrences, and focused on the safety management system of multi-use facilities and conducted research on sports facilities within multi-use facilities safety and improvement measures were derived. By applying Company A's safety management best practices to the research model, the company's safety management can be effectively analyzed and examined. Through this study, we would like to make suggestions so that safety managers of buildings with sports facilities in multi-use facilities can use them as a reference.

A Comparison of Training and Dispatch Criteria for Security Personnel in 119 Domestic and Overseas General Situation Rooms

This study proposes an efficient way to strengthen work capabilities based on a comparison of the education and training of guard personnel before and after their deployment in the 119 Emergency Operations Center, which is in charge of elementary responses to various disasters and accidents, with that given to advanced foreign situation personnel. Only one area of Gyeonggi-do Province was identified in an internal document on personnel standards for moving into the situation room in Korea, and it was found that most of the situation room agents were used for situation room work through the informal OJT training of senior members of each city and provincial headquarters before deployment. Japan, like Korea, is organized into several prefectures and operates the same Emergency Operations Center or Joint Command Center. However, the most distinctive feature of the Japanese system with respect to Korea is that situation room agents are employed in the day-to-day operations of the command center after education with systematic and clear contents before being put into the work of the Emergency Operations Center. Similarly, the United States comprises 50 states, each with its own laws and emergency management systems. However, the federal government actively controls disaster safety and establishes and operates regulations by state, and each state has education and training, certification standards, and supplementary education regulations for existing agents. In Germany, there is a specific system of vocational education and training to become a worker in the Emergency Operations Center, and the curricula in vocational schools for security personnel, as well as the admission requirements and professional qualifications, are specified by the government.

Experimental study on dynamic impact of hydrothermal treated coal in different coal ranks

The new supercritical hydrothermal fracturing technology possesses promising applications in the field of coal and coalbed methane extraction. The research designed hydrothermal processing and true triaxial Hopkinson bar impact fracturing experiments on coals of different coal rank, measured the damage using acoustic waves and scanning electron microscopy. The results of the study showed that: 1. Hydrothermal treatment caused initial damage to coals in different coal ranks, resulted in the reduction of coal acoustic wave speed and dynamic strength. 2. As the coal rank advanced, the metamorphic degree of coal increased and its dynamic strength increased, and the dynamic strength of anthracite reached 149.79 MPa. 3. A pore expansion model of hydrothermally treated coal was established, which indicated that the porosity of hydrothermally fractured coal increased as a whole but the distribution of pore size was more concentrated in the process of hydrothermal fracturing in conjunction with adsorption resolution curves. 4. A dynamic damage constitutive model of coal after hydrothermal treatment under true triaxial circumferential pressure was proposed, which had great significance for evaluating the dynamic disaster safety after hydrothermal fracturing in coal mines.

ON RELOCATION OF SETTLEMENT AFTER THE CIANJUR EARTHQUAKE AND LANDSLIDE 2022

An Earthquake and landslide occurred in Cianjur, Indonesia, in November 2022. This resulted in a lot of losses, both fatalities and the disappearance of some settlements. Relocation would be obligatory as post-disaster mitigation policies for areas with highest disaster threats. This research was conducted to find its relocation areas. The method used is overlay and scoring by utilizing GIS applications. The used data are rainfall data, slope, geological maps, Cianjur earthquake hazard maps, fault line buffering, and supervised classification of land cover/use maps. Analysis of the results in the form of landslide hazard maps and disaster safety maps. The search for the expected relocation area is carried out by overlaying a disaster-safe map with residential areas, so that a post-disaster residential relocation recommendation map is produced with five classes, namely very good, good, medium, bad, and very bad. An analysis is also carried out for directions for the use of the affected area for the very bad class used as a protected area and no buildings are allowed on it. Bad class is not allowed to live on it, but can be used for social activities, plantations and paddy fields. The moderate vulnerability class can still be used as a residence, economic centre, or other social activities. Meanwhile, the safe and very safe vulnerability classes do not have any land use restrictions.

지방정부의 재난안전 역량 강화

This paper aims to propose strategies to enhance the disaster management capabilities of local governments. It is necessary for local government leaders to increase their interest in disaster safety, boost the self-efficacy of officials, and find ways to enhance their pride. It is vital to establish collaborative governance that mobilizes the disaster safety capacities within the region. Reflecting on the work experience of the disaster safety department when appointing senior officials and expanding recruitment is essential steps. Additionally, promoting the stable and efficient operations of disaster safety organizations can be achieved by conducting regular personnel appointments every January. Furthermore, it is necessary to establish disaster safety specialized institutions in the form of foundation corporations in 17 metropolitan local governments and set up crisisonomy graduate school to nurture specialized professionals. Practical on-site manuals and conducting on-site training are also essential. Lastly, managing the early stages of disaster occurrences and operating a disaster situation room equipped with on-site response capabilities are crucial.

Analysis of the Construction of Resilient Governance System for Public Safety in Urban Communities in Jiangsu--Based on the Perspective of Adaptive Loop Modeling

Abstract As urbanization and informatization progress, human societies increasingly face unforeseeable public safety risks, necessitating a comprehensive governance system for early risk prevention. This paper introduces a model for community public safety resilience governance grounded in the adaptive cycle model and formulates research hypotheses. We derive a mathematical formula for calculating the safety disaster risk value using risk management theory, which aids in determining the resilience value and risk level of communities. The proposed governance model assesses community resilience through a four-faceted approach that encompasses natural disasters, accidents, public health events, and social security incidents. The public safety resilience of Community L in N city, Jiangsu Province, was evaluated using this model. Furthermore, it was determined that urban communities in NJ City, WX City, and XZ City had resilience governance scores of 77.655, 73.18, and 73.475, with scores exceeding 70 points. An analysis of 16 subject cities revealed that only five are currently in the renewal stage, representing an optimal state of high resilience and low risk. The remaining 11 cities face varying degrees of challenges. To prevent systemic decay, it is crucial to implement customized public safety governance strategies for different urban types.

코로나19 시기 청소년이 지각한 재난안전에 대한 응답양식 분석

The purpose of this study was to analyze the survey data on the perception of disaster safety by adolescents during the COVID-19 period, using the data from the 2020 Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey (KCYPS). As a large social disaster, COVID-19 could affect the adolescents' responses in addition to their perceptions of disasters. Therefore, we applied the item response tree model to analyze the response patterns. The results showed that adolescents generally felt safe from disasters such as COVID-19, but their perceptions of disaster safety differed between safety of individuals and that of society. In addition, it was confirmed that there were negative extreme response styles and positive extreme response styles, which represent excessive anxiety and excessive indifference to disasters, respectively. Moreover, the adolescents' perceptions of disaster safety were related to life satisfaction, happiness, and the degree of knowledge of disaster response measures. We also proposed the utilization and follow-up studies of the research results.

재난안전의무보험제도 개선방안에 관한 연구

In recent times, there has been a notable increase in large-scale fires affecting vulnerable groups, such as the Jecheon Sports Center fire, Ulsan residential and commercial apartment fire, Namyangju residential and commercial apartment fire, and Miryang Sejong Hospital fire. This has heightened public demand for improved safety measures and the need for a new insurance policy to ensure rapid economic recovery and secure living conditions. To address this, our study proposes ways to enhance the support system for victims of disasters in vulnerable facilities. We also aim to optimize the synergy between policy insurance and private insurance by refining the disaster responsibility insurance system, which serves as a social safety net. This will be achieved through a comprehensive analysis of disaster safety insurance practices both domestically and internationally, as well as an examination of disaster responsibility insurance operations from 2018 to 2020.

Criteria for and Policy Implications of Setting Recovery Priorities of National Functions during Disruptions by Disasters

National functions are categories of operations prioritised for restoration when disrupted by emergencies such as disasters. However, the simultaneous restoration of all national functions when some or all are paralysed is limited by time and resources. Delays in the restoration of key functions can lead to public dissatisfaction. Thus, it is necessary to broadly classify national functions and analyse their restoration priorities based on criticality. This study identifies 19 national functions from Republic of Korea’s comprehensive Business Reference Model. A survey was conducted among citizens and officials to determine the criticality of each function. Statistical analyses verified the consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.860) and correlation (average Cramer’s V = 0.107) of the criticality responses across regions. The null hypothesis of no regional differences in the criticality of national functions was accepted, validating their universality. Restoration priorities were derived from these criticality values, with ‘Disaster Safety Response’ as the highest priority and ‘Regional Development’ as the lowest. These results provide foundational data for the post-disaster restoration priorities of national functions and emphasise the need to consider public opinion, needs, and government resource limitations in disaster management planning.
