“…However, these overlap with the subfields of the other two classifications listed above. According to Lim and Park (2016), the classification groups of the DSIC have 66.1 per cent similarity to those of the NDMIC, and 29 per cent similarity to those of the FPIC. For example, the manufacture of flame-resistant clothing is classified as "manufacture of apparel for safety" ¶ in the DSIC, "manufacture of apparel for natural disaster mitigation" ¶ in the NDMIC and "manufacture of flame-resistant goods" ¶ in the FPIC.…”

“…For example, the manufacture of flame-resistant clothing is classified as "manufacture of apparel for safety" ¶ in the DSIC, "manufacture of apparel for natural disaster mitigation" ¶ in the NDMIC and "manufacture of flame-resistant goods" ¶ in the FPIC. Previous research called for the three classifications to be immediately integrated to avoid such unnecessary duplication and confusion (Lim and Park, 2016;Oh, 2016).…”

“…However, many parts of this industry classification overlap with previous industry classifications, the fire protection industry and natural disaster prevention industry. Previous research argue that integrated operation of classification is needed to avoid duplication (Lim & Park, 2016;Oh, 2016, p. 250).…”

Natural disasters and social disasters have been causing more human losses and economic damages over the years. In the modern society, the government alone cannot fully manage disasters, because the number and size of disasters are increasing. Naturally, the role of the private sector in disaster management becomes more important, but there is a lack of studies about the disaster-safety industry.It is need to understand the market of disaster-safety industry to support and grow it. To analyze and understand the current state of the Korean disaster-safety industry, this study adopted the social network analysis technique. The social network analysis is an analysis method to describe the characteristics of the social network, and by using it, the complex industrial networks can be deeply understood.To collect data, semi-structured interviews were conducted on the K-SAFETY EXPO 2016. The By the analysis, it is found that the industrial/construction safety, disaster prevention, and traffic safety are major subdivisions of the disaster-safety industry. 47% of the companies are engaged in multiple industries, and 39% of the companies are engaged only in the disaster-safety industry. Companies in the industrial/construction safety subdivision have the widest range of market in terms of industrial distribution of their clients, and the average client number is high in the industrial/construction safety and the disaster prevention subdivisions. Overall, the public institutes are the most important client type of the overall disaster-safety industry. The disaster prevention subdivision shows a trend that its market is highly relying on their clients by the public institutes. It is also considered that high-value-added service industries and high-tech industry in the disaster-safety industry can widen the possible markets.This study analyzed the current state of the Korean disaster-safety industry, and found that the current disaster-safety industry market tends to highly depend on the demand of public institutions, therefore, the government-centered policy for growth of the disaster-safety industry is needed. It is also found that there are few transactions between the disaster-safety industry and service industry, so it is needed to study the required role of the disaster-safety industry by the service industry.
