“…However, recent disasters, including the flood at the Gwanghwamun Square, the Mt. Umyeon landslide, the sunken Sewol ferry accident, and the MERS outbreak, have raised several problems in terms of early response and the formulation of countermeasures [22,30,[50][51][52]. Thus, this study proposes improvement measures for the current integrated disaster management system of the Republic of Korea in consideration of the disaster management systems of developed countries and the status of damages from past disasters in the Republic of Korea (2016Korea ( -2015.…”

Recently, the Republic of Korea has experienced natural disasters, such as typhoons and heavy rainfall, as well as social accidents, such as large-scale accidents and infectious diseases, which are continuously occurring. Despite repeated disasters, problems such as inefficient early response and overlapping command systems occur continuously. In this study, we analyzed the characteristics of disaster management systems by foreign countries, and the status of the damages by disasters for the past 10 years in the Republic of Korea, to suggest possible measures to improve the Republic of Korea’s integrated disaster management system. When a disaster occurs in the Republic of Korea, the Si/Gun/Gu Disaster Safety Measure Headquarters, under the command of the local governments, become the responsible agencies for disaster response while the central government supervises and controls the overall disaster support and disaster management. To improve the current disaster management system, we propose to incorporate all disaster types rather than dividing them by type into natural disasters and social disasters. To improve the disaster response and disaster management system, we propose to restructure the current administrative organization, revise the disaster-related laws, and overcome problems, such as inter-ministerial interconnectivity and overlapping regulation.

BACKGROUND Various natural and human made disasters occur worldwide. Individuals are affected economically and psychologically, and the persistence of these disasters for a long period may cause suicidal ideation. It is necessary to identify the factors that may cause suicidal ideation among the people affected by these disasters. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to identify the factors affecting suicidal ideation in victims of disasters such as typhoons, heavy rainfall, fires, and earthquakes. METHODS Data were obtained from a long-term survey on life changes among disaster victims conducted in 2019 by the National Disaster Management Research Institute. The study included 2,234 victims of natural and social disasters occurring in Korea between 2012 and 2018. Suicidal ideation was assessed using the Korean version of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview developed by the World Health Organization. The participants’ demographic characteristics, disaster-related characteristics (disaster type, disaster duration, injury/disease damage), physical characteristics (subjective health status), psychological characteristics (depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, resilience), and social characteristics (social support and social adaptation) were analyzed as the influencing factors. The data were analyzed using the chi-square test, t-test, and logistic regression. RESULTS The results showed that the factors affecting suicidal ideation included disaster-related injury/disease, depression, and social support. The odds ratio of suicidal ideation was higher when there was injury/disease (OR=1.89, CI=0.07-0.48), with higher depression levels (OR=1.31, CI=1.18-1.47) and with lower social support (OR=0.94, CI=0.90-0.99). CONCLUSIONS It is necessary to implement psychosocial support strategies and health promotion programs aimed at reducing suicidal ideation in disaster victims.
