Study on the Actual Status and Improvement of Citizen Safety Experience Education : Focusing on the Safe Daejeon Safety Experience Center and the Daejeon Safety Experience Center

Experience-based safety education in Daejeon has been conducted through safety experience centers, visiting programs, and festivals to raise public safety awareness. This study analyzed the Safe Daejeon Safety Experience Hanmadang, a representative safety festival, and plan of Daejeon National Safety Experience Center, and identified key improvements. Since 2016, eight festivals have been held, offering systematic programs based on six life-cycle safety fields. High demand was observed in life safety, natural disaster, and traffic safety, with preferences for specific activities like earthquake response, chemical accident handling, and violence prevention. The Daejeon Safety Experience Center will feature 7 zones and 11 rooms with specialized programs reflecting regional needs such as radioactive safety, high-tech safety, and industrial safety. Universal design will ensure accessibility for all, including vulnerable groups. Enhancing experiential education effectiveness through advanced technologies like virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) and establishing a follow-up management system were identified as priorities. By complementing the roles of the center and the Safe Daejeon Safety Experience Hanmadang(Safety Festival), a sustainable safety education system is proposed to enable citizens to integrate safety into their daily lives beyond one-time events.
