A Study on Enhancement of Local Disaster Prevention Capacity through Formation of Disaster Prevention Village

The recognition on natural disasters was changed from "prevention" to "mitigation" and then the disaster response capacity at the regional level became an important factor. Korea's NEMA is driving the formation of a disaster free community as a national project. Therefore currently, we are in urgent need to vitalize the project. This study surveyed the theories related to the project, surveyed items in the project meaning, project necessity, project types and the relationship with the capacity of local disaster response. Also laws, administrative plans and organizations related to the project were reviewed for vitalizing the project. Especially the survey in the organization field included the Korea's CAIND(Citizen Corps Active in Disaster) and the establishment of local disaster response governance. Also the surveying of similar examples included the village formation projects derived by each governance department. As a result, this study shows a total of 7 vitalizing means in part 3. As a result, the vitalization projects are urgently in need of the preparation of law and institutions.
