Today, we live in a time when the whole society and country are more interested in disasters and management In this study, as one of the problems that needs to be solved in these historical situations, we are thinking of examining changes in the use of disaster-type-related terms and social perceptions that are emerging in our society, focusing on the BigKinds news text.
According to the research, unlike legal disasters divided into two categories: natural disasters and social disasters, the members of Korean society are divided into four categories: natural disasters, man-made disasters, social disasters, and combined disasters. Based on such categorization of the types of disasters, it can be said that the recognition that natural disasters brought about by natural phenomena are not simply unavoidable force majeure, but can be prevented and prepared as de facto man-made disasters as well as the recognition that the government is strongly required to respond to social disasters caused by defects in social structures and systems. It is also important that there is a widespread awareness of complex disasters, which refer to the occurrence of various disasters in a chain or simultaneous manner.
Considering that human history is simply a history of disasters, the BigKinds data shows only a change in the use and perception of disaster-related terms in a short period of only 30 years. However, it can be said that the results of this research are significant in that they allow us to grasp some aspects of actual language use and recognition, which are difficult to grasp in dictionaries and legal definitions and categorizations.
