A Study on Establishing Procedures and Display Design for the Development of the Disaster Management System using Satellite Imagery

Recently, the escalating occurrence of disasters with abnormal characteristics poses challenges to disaster management. As a result, effective disaster management and response strategies have become crucial. In this study, the disaster management system using satellite imagery was developed and constructed as a dashboard. For this study, the National Disaster Management Information System (NDMS) of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety (MOIS) was analyzed. Crisis management activities were examined in accordance with the disaster phase of the crisis management standard manual. Relevant components from the integrated multisource data in NDMS were selected to enhance technology effectiveness. A disaster management officer's requirements were analyzed to improve user usability. Disaster response procedures using satellite imagery were derived by synthesizing this information. Based on these procedures, key elements and system procedures were established for system design and visualization, and the system display was presented. The technology was proactively developed for immediate implementation after establishing legal and institutional procedures. Utilizing satellite imagery in the disaster management system is expected to enhance prompt and efficient disaster management.

Marine Collision Avoidance: Human Factor Considerations for the Development and Operation of an Effective Merchant Marine Radar

The objective of this paper is to identify problem areas in the use of radar and to show the implication of these problems to those involved in ship operations and radar development. The discussion includes the operating procedure for radar, the philosophy of radar use in the merchant service and the modification thereto required by increased speeds and traffic, the relevance of basic operator capabilities, and operator information requirements versus current display capabilities. These problem areas and requirements were identified as one aspect of a study of “Human Factors in Ship Control” conducted for the Maritime Administration (MA-4221). The paper emphasizes the need for research designed to develop a radar system which meets the deck officer's requirements yet which is compatible with his capabilities and the cost constraints of the merchant service.
