ABSTRACT

In 2002, National Science and Technology Standard Classification System(NSTSCS) is enacted in order to manage efficiently budget, information, human resources and research projects related on national science and technology. NSTSCS has a foundational role for directing the national research strategies, which allocate efficiently the limited resources and maximize effectively the research accomplishments. Disaster/Safety Research Arena has got a significant attention from the people with the expectation of realizing the safe and happy society, so that the R&D budget related to Disaster/Safety has increased continually. Nevertheless, Disaster/Safety Research Arena is not accepted as a branch of national research areas and its sub-fields are sporadically allocated to sub-divisions of other research fields. This situation causes the difficulty to grasp the state of Disaster/Safety R&D projects and guide the consistent strategy for research investments. It does not agree with the national goal that is realizing ‘safe and synthetic society’ through activating Disaster/Safety research and developing useful technologies for disaster preparedness. In order to systemizing the national disaster/safety research area, it is necessary to make a disaster/safety area branch in the NSTSCS, which will be a helpful foundation for establishing the identity of Disaster/Safety area and operating systematic management of research projects. In this study, the historical development directions of NSTSCS is researched and the problems on operating the national Disaster/Safety research projects is investigated and analyzed. The conceptual frame for selecting sub-divisions of disaster/safety area is considered. Finally, the standard research classification of disaster/safety research area is suggested.
