The various types of disasters have being occurred as urban expands rapidly as to the climate change and science technological development. It is a trend that IT technology converges with related fields to prevent the disasters. In particular, the rapid growth technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT), sensors , Global Position Systems (GPS), real time processing, and mobile devices have been utilized as essential techniques in national emergency management systems.
In this thesis, we investigate some methods to provide the useful information for preparing for disasters in the real-time using recent IT technology focused on the disasters. We survey control systems and the related laws and regulations on the disasters in domestic and international areas.
First, we analyze the various emergency response systems to construct disaster safety information systems, and investigate the related vulnerabilities. We discovered that it is difficult to collect the disaster information in urban area and analyzed vulnerabilities to construct the disaster information systems based on u-IT. Additionally, the vulnerabilities are analyzed in collecting location information of occurred disasters on the real-time with mobile devices.
We suggest an integrated system using vulnerabilities of the disaster safety information systems. The proposed system includes an integrated disaster safety information system based on the u-IoT, and the authentication and verification method for the location information. Finally, the improvement methods are proposed to integrate the information systems related to disasters.
This research provides an essential information in integrating disaster prevention systems of national and local governments into an entire system as the proposed system includes the improvement methods to resolve vulnerabilities of the integrated control systems in the macro perspective view on constructing disaster safety information systems
