The Earthquake has been a global issue and the national policy (prevention - preparation - Response - Recovery - Education - Training) has been urgent needed. To minimize the casualties and property damage by the disaster and for the early recovery of the social function, the targets of national seismic performance are significant. The current level of science has limitations in predicting earthquakes. Many countries' experiences including the Japan are lessons for Research & Development for earthquakes.

부추의 위해요소관리를 위한 GAP 모델 개발에 필요한 기초 자료로 활용하기 위해 부추 생산과정을 재배전 단계, 재배단계 및 수확·포장단계로 나누어 재배환경 (토양, 용수), 부추, 개인위생 시료에 대해 위생지표세균, 병원성 미생물, 곰팡이의 오염도를 조사하였다. 위생지표 세균 중 일반세균은 토양 6.4~6.7 log CFU/g, 부추 4.6~5.1 log CFU/g, 개인위생 중 손과 장갑에서 각각 최대 3.3 및 5.4 log CFU/hand or cm²으로 검출되었고, 그 외의 시료에서는 2.7 log CFU/g (or mL, hand, 100 cm²) 이하로 검출되었다. 대장균군은 토양 3.9~4.2 log CFU/g, 부추 4.8~5.0 log CFU/g으로 부추에서 더 높은 수준으로 검출되었고, 대장균은 모든 시료에서 불검출 되었다. 병원성 미생물의 경우 B. cereus만 용수를 제외한 시료에서 0.5~4.6 log CFU/g (or hand, 100 cm²) 수준으로 검출되었다. 곰팡이의 경우도 용 수와 일부 작업도구를 제외한 시료에서 2.1~3.8 log CFU/g (or hand, 100 cm²) 수준으로 검출되었다. 전반적으로 토양과 닿아 있는 부추에서의 미생물 오염도가 높게 확인되었으며, 이는 비교적 미생물의 오염도가 높은 토양으로부 터 교차오염이 발생하였기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 부추의 생물학적 위해요소에 대한 안전성 확보를 위해 서는 토양 관리가 중요할 것으로 생각 된다.

선박 및 해양구조물의 화물 중 많은 수가 가연성, 휘발성의 석유 및 석유 가공 화물이다. 뿐만 아니라 컨테이너 박스, 벌크화물, 차량 등의 중량 화물이 그 나머지를 차지한다. 게다가 선박은 파랑, 해류 등의 하중을 주기/비주기적으로 받기 때문에 화물의 위치 및 이동 가능성이 존재한다. 그렇기 때문에 선상 사고 위험은 육상의 산업현장 보다 훨씬 크다. 선박 및 해양구조물은 화물 및 화물의 영향으로 인한 사고 위험성이 항시 존재하기 때문에 그 모니터링과 대비가 반드시 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 선상에서 선원 및 작업자의 안전을 보장하기 위해 무선센서네트워크를 도입하여 모니터링 시스템을 구축하기 위한 연구를 진행하였다.

자연재해에 있어서 취약성 분석계획의 우선순위 설정활동을 위한 기초자료로서 재해 위험분석의 주요한 요소이다. 화산폭발은 화산이 인구밀도가 높은 지역에 위치하고 있는 경우 많은 사상자와 재산피해를 야기한다. 화산폭발을 막을 수 없지만, 위험도와 취약성은 미래의 위기를 예측하는 신중한 계획과 준비작업을 통해 저감될 수 있다. 사회적 불평등으로서 사회적 취약성은 다양한 사회 구성원이 재해에 대응 능력에 민감한 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 인도네시아 중부 자바에 위치한 메라피 화산 인근 지역주민들의 사회적 취약성을 평가하기 위하여 사회적 취약성 지수(SoVI) 기법을 활용하였다. SoVI는 사회적 위험부담을 이해하고 정량화하기 위하여 지역사회의 복원탄력성에 영향을 미치는 사회 경제적 및 인구 통계학적 요인을 이용하여 평가된다. 본 연구에서 사회적 취약성은 이해 관계자와 지역주민과의 설문조사를 통해 평가되었다. 연구결과로 도출된 취약성 지수는 사회적 취약성의 분포와 원인에 대한 정보를 반영함을 확인하였다.

Modern systems can be characterized by ever-increasing complexity of both the functionality and system scale. Thus, due to the complexity the chances of accidents resulting from systems failure can then be growing. Even worse is that those accidents could result in disastrous damage to the human being and properties as well. Therefore, the need for the developed systems to be assured with systems safety is apparent in a variety of industries such as rail, automobiles, airplanes, ships, oil refinery, chemical production plants, and so on. To this end, in the industry an appropriate safety standard has been published for its own safety-assured products. One of the core activities included in the most safety standards is hazard analysis. A conventional approach to hazard analysis seems to depend upon the scenarios derived from the ones used previously in similar systems or based on former experience. The objective of this paper is to study an improved process for scenario-based hazard analysis. To achieve the goal, the top-level safety requirements have first been reflected in the scenarios. By analyzing and using them, the result has then lead to the development of safety-assured systems. The method of modeling and simulation has been adopted in the generation and verification of scenarios to check whether the safety requirements are reflected properly in the scenarios. Application of the study result in the case of rail safety assurance has also been discussed.

본 연구에서는 계층분석과정(AHP)을 이용한 위해도 기반 지역별 기름회수능력 설정 방법을 모델화하여 제시하였으며, 제시된 모델을 적용하여 지역별 기름회수능력을 설정하였다. 모델을 적용하여 설정된 지역별 기름회수능력의 유효성을 확인하기 위해 최대오염사고의 발생이 가능한 지역 중 해상방제장비 동원측면에서 상대적으로 불리한 대산·태안·평택지역에 최대오염사고를 가정하여 각 지역에 배치된 해상방제장비를 동원하여 해상 기름회수작업을 수행하는 시뮬레이션을 실시하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 사고해역에서 3일 동안 해상에서 회수 가능한 기름의 양은 15,841㎘로 계산되었는데, 이는 해상 기름회수 목표량인 15,000㎘를 충족시키는 결과로 본 연구에서 제시된 모델이 실행 가능한 것으로 확인되었다.

This study was planned to investigate the effect of the exposure to hazard factors on work environment satisfaction. Existing researches about job satisfaction have focused on the general working conditions, such as working hours, wage, human relationship, job task and so on. Korean Working Conditions Survey was used for this study because that relevant questions were included. The effect of the exposure to hazard factors on work environment satisfaction may be produced by hierarchical regression analysis because of comparison with existing model for work environment satisfaction. The exposure to hazards factors were statistically significant effect on work environment satisfaction after adjusting other confounding variables, such as gender, age, educational level, job security, work hour, work load, work autonomy, social support, etc. This study has some limitation because that KWCS was cross sectional survey. Some researches about the causal effect and its mechanism may be suggested as future study.

This study has been performed for about 270 days at analyzing biologically hazardous factors in order to develop HACCP system for the non heat-frozen carrot juice. A process chart was prepared by manufacturing process of raw agricultural products of non heat-frozen carrot juice, which was contained water and packing material, storage, washing, cutting, extraction of the juice, internal packing, metal detection, external packing, storage and consignment (delivery). As a result of measuring Coliform group, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella spp., Bacillus cereus, Listeria Monocytogenes, Enterohemorrhagic E. coli before and after washing raw carrot, Standard plate count was 4.7 × 104 CFU/g before washing but it was 1.2 × 102 CFU/g detected after washing. As a result of testing airborne bacteria (Standard plate count, Coliform group, Yeast and Fungal) depending on each workplace, number of microorganism of in packaging room, shower room and juice extraction room was detected to be 10 CFU/Plate, 60 CFU/Plate, 20 CFU/Plate, respectively. As a result of testing palm condition of workers, as number of Standard plate count, Coliform group and Staphylococcus aureus was represented to be high as 6 × 104 CFU/cm2, 0 CFU/cm2 and 0 CFU/cm2, respectively, an education and training for individual sanitation control was considered to be required. As a result of inspecting surface pollution level of manufacturing facility and devices, Coliform group was not detected in all the specimen but Standard plate count was most dominantly detected in scouring kier, scouring kier tray, cooling tank, grinding extractor, storage tank and packaging machine-nozzle as 8.00×10 CFU/cm2, 3.0 × 10 CFU/cm2, 4.3 × 102 CFU/cm2, 7.5 × 102 CFU/cm2, 6.0 × 10 CFU/cm2, 8.5 × 102 CFU/cm2, respectively. As a result of analyzing above hazardous factors, processing process of ultraviolet ray sterilizing where pathogenic bacteria may be prevented, reduced or removed is required to be controlled by CCP-B (Biological) and critical level (critical control point) was set at flow speed is 4L/min. Therefore, it is considered that thorough HACCP control plan including control criteria (point) of seasoning fluid processing process, countermeasures in case of its deviation, its verification method, education/training and record control would be required.

Probabilistic tsunami hazard analysis (PTHA) is based on the approach of probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) which is performed using various seismotectonic models and ground-motion prediction equations. The major difference between PTHA and PSHA is that PTHA requires the wave parameters of tsunami. The wave parameters can be estimated from tsunami propagation analysis. Therefore, a tsunami simulation analysis was conducted for the purpose of evaluating the wave parameters required for the PTHA of Uljin nuclear power plant (NPP) site. The tsunamigenic fault sources in the western part of Japan were chosen for the analysis. The wave heights for 80 rupture scenarios were numerically simulated. The synthetic tsunami waveforms were obtained around the Uljin NPP site. The results show that the wave heights are closely related with the location of the fault sources and the associated potential earthquake magnitudes. These wave parameters can be used as input data for the future PTHA study of the Uljin NPP site.

This study examined the effects of environmental factors on the abundance of black pine bast scale (BPBS), Matsucoccus thunbergianae Miller and Park, in coastal disaster prevention forest stands composed mostly of Japanese black pine. Geographical factors, soil conditions and forest stand conditions were measured to evaluate the hazard rating for the occurrence of BPBS from 35 plots in the coastal forest stands. To assess the hazard rating, a combination of a self-organizing map (SOM), which classified the samples according to their characteristics, and a random forest model, which predicted the probability of the occurrence of BPBS from SOM results, was used in this study. Our results showed that major factors determining the abundance of BPBS were climate, tree size, and tree health. BPBS was more common in low latitude coastal forests, suggesting that warmer conditions were favorable to BPBS population buildup. Tree size also influenced the abundance of BPBS, which was higher in forests composed of larger trees (greater DBH). Finally, BPBS was also more abundant in areas with high soil salinity and clay-loam soil, and north-facing slopes where tree vigor was lower.

The rapid growth of complexity and scale can be witnessed in the design and development of modern systems. As such, the severity of damages in the occasional accidents has attracted great deal of attention lately. Although a variety of methods have so far been studied to overcome or reduce the disastrous results of hazards, the issues seem still persistent and even complicated due to the situation mentioned above. The concept of functional safety has been regarded as one approach to handling the matters by shifting up to the functions level from the consideration of each physical component itself. The outcomes of those efforts would be the international standards on functional safety such as IEC 61508 and its relatives including IEC 62278, EN 50128, ISO26262, and so on. In this paper, a method of how hazards can be analyzed to be coped with those standards has been studied. In the method proposed, the systems modeling language (SysML) is playing a key role to model and analyze the hazards from the viewpoint of functional safety. The approach taken has been applied in the analysis of the hazards in railroad systems. In spite of focusing on the individual components hazards, the method based on functional safety has analyzed them collectively with the added effect of identifying the cause originated from the interface between the functions.

본 연구는 인삼의 재배단계에서의 생물학적 위해요소를 조사하고 그 결과를 인삼 GAP 실천 모델의 개발을 위한 기초자료로 제공하기 위해 수행하였다. 충남 금산에 소재 한 인삼 경작지 3곳에서 재배환경, 작물, 개인위생 항목에 대해 총 96점의 시료를 수집하여 위생지표세균, 병원성미생물, 그리고 곰팡이에 대해 분석하였다. 일반세균과 대장균군, 곰팡이의 오염도는 각각 1.3~6.0, 0.1~5.0 및 0.4~4.9 log CFU/g (or mL, hand, and 100 cm2)으로 확인되었고, 대장균의 경우 C 농장의 농업용수에서 검출되었다. 병원성 미생물은 모든 시료에서 B. cereus만 0.1~4.9 log/g (or mL, hand, and 100 cm2)범위로 검출되었으며, L. monocytogenes, E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella spp. 및 S. aureus는 검출되지 않았다. 이상의 결과 인삼 경작지 3곳은 미생물학적 위해요소에 대해서는 안전한 것으로 나타났으나, 주변 환경이나 작업자들에 의해 교차오염이 발생할 가능성은 항상 존재하므로 보다 안전성이 확보된 인삼을 재배하기 위해서 미생물학적 위해요소의 관리과 포함된 GAP 모델의 적용이 필요하다.

위해요소관리 중심의 복숭아 GAP 모델 개발에 필요한 미생물 위해분석 자료를 확보하기 위해 충북 영동에 소재한 3곳의 복숭아 농장을 대상으로 재배단계별로 총 240점의 시료를 수집하여 미생물 오염도를 조사하였다. 그 결과 일반세균과 대장균군은 모든 시료에서 1.0~7.4 및 0.0~5.4 log CFU/g(or mL, leaf, hand, 100 cm2) 수준으로 검출되었다. 대장균은 240점의 시료 중 농업용수 2점, 복숭아 잎 1점, 작업복 1점, 장갑 1점 등 총 5점의 시료에서 검출되었다. 병원성 미생물은 S. aureus는 작업자 개인위생에서만 0.9 log CFU/hand(or 100 cm2) 이하로 검출되었고, B. cereus는 토양에서 최대 6.4 log CFU/g까지 검출되었으며, L. monocytogenes, E. coli O157:H7 및 Salmonella spp.는 검출되지 않았다. 곰팡이는 모든 시료에서 0.0~5.1 log CFU/g(or mL, leaf, hand, 100 cm2) 범위로 검출되었다.

To meet the growing needs from a variety of stakeholders, the development of modern systems is getting more complex and thus, the systems failure in the actual operations can potentially become more serious. This is why several international or military standards on systems safety have been published. In spite of the importance of meeting those standards such as IEC 61508 and ISO 26262 in the systems development, the associated practical methods seem deficient since those standards do not provide them. The objective of this paper is to present a method to identify potential hazards in fulfilling the requirements of the safety standards. In particular, the approach taken here is based on applying the functional analysis that covers several levels of the system under development. Note, however, that in the most of the conventional methods for hazards identification, the analysis has been focused on the failure at or underneath the component level of the system. The hazards identification method in this paper would cover the level up to the system by utilizing the functions-oriented approach. The case study of the safety enhancement for locomotive cabs is also discussed.

The uniform hazard spectra for seven major cities in Korea, Seoul, Daejeon, Daegu, Busan, Gwangju, Ulsan, and Inchon are suggested. Probabilistic seismic hazard analyses were performed using the attenuation equations derived from seismology research in Korea since 2000 and the seismotectonic models selected by expert assessment. For the estimation of the uniform hazard spectra, the seismic hazard curves for several frequencies and PGAs were calculated by using the spectral attenuation equations. The seismic hazards (annual exceedance probability) calculated for the 7 metropolises ranged from about 1.4305×0-4/yr to 1.7523×10-4/yr and averaged out at about 1.5902×10-4/yr with a log standard deviation of about 0.085 at 0.2 g. The uniform hazard spectra with recurrence intervals of 500, 1000, and 2500 years estimated by using the calculated mean seismic hazard on the frequencies presented peak values at 10.0 Hz, and the log standard deviations of the difference between metropolises ranged from about 0.013 to 0.209. In view of the insignificant difference between the estimated uniform hazard spectra obtained for the considered metropolises, the mean uniform hazard spectrum was estimated. This mean uniform hazard spectrum is expected to be used as input seismic response spectrum for rock sites in Korea.
