전국적으로 매년 말벌 벌집 신고수는 약 20만건이 넘으며 부상자는 1-2만명, 사망자도 10-15명씩 나타나고 있다. 이에 따라 매년 소방청에서는 여름과 가을에 벌 쏘임 사고 ‘주의보’를 발령하고, 벌 쏘임 사고 예방에 대한 주의를 요하고 있다. 이처럼 말벌은 강력한 독침을 가진 사회성 곤충으로 외부 천적으로부터 그들의 군집을 지키 기 위한 방어행동이 매우 잘 발달되어 있다. 말벌은 외부의 인위적인 자극에 대해 천적의 침입으로 인식하고 집단 공격을 하는데 주로 검은색과 같은 짙은색의 긴털을 가진 대상에 대해 강한 공격성을 보였으며, 초록색, 노란색과 같은 자연색에는 크게 반응하지 않았다. 집단 공격시 약 10-15m 정도까지 추적하면서 공격을 하였고 천적이 벌집으로부터 약 3m 이내에 들어오면 경계 비행 후 공격하였다. 따라서 말벌 위험 지역에서는 이러한 특성을 잘 파악하여 행동하는 것이 말벌의 피해를 줄이는 방법이다. 또한 말벌의 독성 강도는 장수말벌의 독이 가장 강했으며 그 뒤로 꿀벌, 좀말벌, 털보말벌, 등검은말벌, 말벌, 왕바다리 순으로 나타났다.

The fatalities of the evacuation facilities of the buildings accessed by unspecified people on the daily basis are significantly emerged as a problem. Evacuation facilities should be designed for common human behaviors the assumption that the customers are not familiar with the buildings. In addition, the characteristics of modern buildings such as high-rising and enlarging should be considered to design the evacuation plan. The evacuation is a problem that people reach a safe place with themselves. The architectural plan for the life safety should be established to minimize various disaster damages. To do so, the factors such as time, risks on the steps, combustion ash variables, safety training should be considered on the architectural planing.

Proportion of falling from height accident at construction work accounts for more than 40%, and the number of injuries is getting increased. So without considering falling from height, we can say that it's hard to achieve our goal(accident prevention). Another critical point that we have to think about theses days is the fact that construction workers are getting older. To be specific, the number of workers who are above 50 years old accounts for 65.6% among the fatalities(2007~2011, KOSHA inspection). Accordingly, to effectively prevent construction accedents, especially falls from height, we need to focus on motion analysis of older construction workers and then make suitable measures for growing accident rates at construction work.

Purpose – Appropriate project management knowledge as well as its effective application in the construction industry increase construction quality and, therefore, reduce fatalities and destruction. Research design, data, and methodology – This study was conducted through a comparative analysis of earthquake fatalities in Iran, Turkey, Pakistan, Indonesia, China, Haiti, Japan, and the United States of America. The data was analyzed using a frequency study. The analysis contrasts the fatalities of some of the strongest earthquakes around the world between 1960 and 2010. Results – Poor quality construction practices and a lack of effective application of project management knowledge play a major role in the vast destruction, high death toll, and dismal tragedies that are associated with earthquakes, especially in Iran. Conclusions – Despite the history of tragic earthquakes and their continuing recurrence, this study attempts to make governments, companies, and disaster management personnel aware of the dangers of poor quality construction and the deficient application of project management knowledge and, further, accentuates effective ways to prevent the probability of serious damage in future. This study contains valuable information on the effects of project management application towards reducing earthquake fatalities and destruction.
