Future directions of Research on Crisis Management implementing Big Data

With development of science and technology, ‘big data’ has been one of the major topics for innovation, competitiveness, and enhancement of productivity, and utilizing big data in the field of crisis management has been a key issue. Big data can be considered a new paradigm not only in developing disaster prevention technology but also in the area of comprehensive crisis management. To keep in step with this trend, this research attempted to explore ways that can be used to establish a crisis management system by crisis type. Findings of this research suggest as follows: First, big data in the field of crisis management has been used on analyzing disaster area, that should be expanded to the non-utilization field. Second, the construction of sustainable infrastructure utilizing big data is of vital importance now. Third, social media such as Twitter, Facebook. should be used to their maximum potential as utilizing big data. For example, using the frequency occurrence of large-scale disasters is still very low in relation to its utilization of big data. Therefore, it will be analyzed synthetically and scientifically if big data-utilized data processes such as simulation, and visualization by making use of large-scale and complex information can be implemented.
