Abstract

The purpose of this study was to present a method for the application of drones through analysis after surveying Jeollanam-do firefighters regarding the recognition, operation, field of application, necessary field of work, and the need for education on fire drones. As a result of the survey, 80.29% of respondents were found to be willing to operate drones, and the fields of work for which drones were considered the most necessary were in the order of rescue, fire suppression, life safety, first aid, and others. Besides, 77.38% of respondents thought that drones could contribute to the prevention of safety accidents for firefighters, and 70.13% of respondents thought that it would be appropriate to recruit firefighting drone operators through changing positions, and respondents chose firefighters in their 40s as the most suitable age group for firefighting drone operation. Also, 82.84% of respondents said they would participate in drone training, and they recognized that the use of drones could contribute to solving the physical problems caused by the aging of firefighters, and that drone training would also help firefighters manage their retirement. The fields where firefighting drones are used were investigated in the order of searching for requestors, checking on-site information, and checking on-site prior risk. In this study, a difference analysis for each group was performed according to the drone operation experience. There was a statistically significant difference in the items of safety measures for requestors. The results of variance analysis by work experience confirmed that there were statistically significant differences in a total of eight items, including four items related to the field of use of drones, and the age group of the drone operating crew, and whether or not to help retirement management.

본 연구의 목적은 전라남도 소방공무원을 대상으로 소방드론이 필요한 업무 및 활용분야, 드론 교육의 필요성과 참여 여부 등 드론의 활용방안을 분석을 통해 제시하는 것이다. 설문조사 결과, 응답자의 80.29%는 드론을 운용해볼 의사가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 드론이 가장 필요하다고 생각하는 업무 분야는 구조, 화재진압, 생활안전, 구급, 기타 순으로 나타났다. 또한 응답자의 77.38%는 드론이 소방공무원의 안전사고 예방에 기여할 것이라 생각하고 있으며, 70.13%의 응답자는 소방드론 운영인력은 보직 변경을 통해 운영하는 것이 적정하다는 의견을 제시하였으며, 운용 연령대는 40대를 가장 많이 선택하였다. 또한 이들 응답자 중 82.84%가 드론 교육에 참여의사가 있는 것으로 나타났으며 드론의 활용이 소방 공무원의 고령화에 따른 체력관리와 퇴직 관리에 도움이 될 것으로 인식하였다. 소방드론의 업무활용 영역은 요구조자 탐색, 현장 정보 확인, 현장 사전위험도 확인 등의 순으로 나타났다. 드론운영경험에 따른 집단별 차이분석에서는 요구조자들에 대한 안전조치 항목, 드론 운용대원의 확보방안 등의 항목에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였으며, 근무경력별 분산분석에서는 드론의 활용분야와 관련된 4가지 항목들, 그리고 드론의 운용대원 연령대 및 퇴직 관리 도움여부 항목 등 총 8개 항목에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있음을 확인하였다.
