“…Meanwhile, detailed disaster vulnerability studies for Cuba (Aguirre, 2005;Sims and Vogelmann, 2002) and Mount Paektu (Choi et al, 2013;Yu et al, 2016) are not representative of science diplomacy, since the former are by only US-based scientists and the latter are by only South Korea-based scientists. This situation does not denigrate the scientific work.…”

Purpose: This paper presents a first exploration of governmental duty of care towards scientists involved in science diplomacy by focusing on disaster research. Design/methodology/approach: The method is a conceptual exploration, using specific case studies and potential scenarios within theories and practices of science diplomacy and duty of care, to raise questions and to suggest policy recommendations for government. The focus on disaster research links the analysis to disaster diplomacy, namely how and why disasterrelated activities (in this case, science) do and do not influence peace and conflict. Findings: From examining case studies of, and outputs and outcomes from, disaster-related science diplomacy, governments need to consider duty of care issues in advance and develop a science diplomacy strategy, rather than responding after the fact or developing policy ad hoc. Practical implications: Policy recommendations are provided to try to ensure that governments avoid simply reacting after a crisis, instead being ready for a situation before it arises and drawing on others' experience to improve their own actions. Social implications: Improved interaction between science and society is discussed in the context of diplomacy, especially for disaster-related activities. Originality/value: Governmental duty of care has not before been applied to science diplomacy. The focus on disaster-related science further provides a comparatively new dimension for science diplomacy.

Recently, landslide and debris-flow disasters caused by severe rain storms have frequently occurred. Many researches related to landslide susceptibility analysis and debris-flow hazard analysis have been conducted, but there are not many researches related to mobilization analysis for landslides transforming into debris-flow in slope areas. In this study, statistical analyses such as discriminant analysis and logistic regression analysis were conducted to develop a mobilization criterion using geomorphological and geological factors. Ten parameters of geomorphological and geological factors were used as independent variables, and 466 cases (228 non-mobilization cases and 238 mobilization cases) were investigated for the statistical analyses. First of all, Fisher's discriminant function was used for the mobilization criterion. It showed 91.6 percent in the accuracy of actual mobilization cases, but homogeneity condition of variance and covariance between non-mobilization and mobilization groups was not satisfied, and independent variables did not follow normal distribution, either. Second, binomial logistic analysis was conducted for the mobilization criterion. The result showed 92.3 percent in the accuracy of actual mobilization cases, and all assumptions for the logistic analysis were satisfied. Therefore, it can be concluded that the mobilization criterion for debris-flow using binomial logistic regression analysis can be effectively applied for the prediction of debris-flow hazard analysis.

Recently, damages caused by landslides have increased due to increasing frequency of localized heavy rains. In order to prevent landslide disasters efficiently, more studies related to predicting the initiation areas of debris flows causing large scale damages are necessary. In Korea, most debris flows mobilize from landslides. The studies on the mobilization of debris flows can be classified into geotechnical based approach, geomorphological approach using local topographic properties and analytical approach based on hydrological properties. Geomorphological approach has merits including the convenience of obtaining topographical data and the applicability toward a large area. In this study, ten GIS based geomorphological data were obtained from landslides and debris flows initiation areas located in Seoul, Gyeonggi and Gangwon Provinces. A relationship analysis was conducted among the topographic parameters to study geomorphological characteristics discerning landslides and debris flows. A threshold, which can be used for the prediction of debris flow initiation areas, was proposed through the relationship analysis.
