How Can We Improve the Government's Research and Technology for Disasters and Safety?
1The Department of Landscape, Cheongju university, Cheongju, Korea.
Objective:
This study explores how we can improve the government's research and technology for disasters and safety.
Methods:
This study employs the Structural Equation Model (SEM) based on 268 experts' perspectives.
Results:
R&D performance exerts a directly significant impact on R&D achievement with the coefficient of 0.429. Second, while professionality and environment of R&D do not show a direct effect on achievement, they exhibit an indirect effect on it with the coefficient of 1.124 and 0.354, respectively. Third, R&D professionality exerts a significant impact on the R&D environment (0.964), and R&D environment has a positive effect on R&D performance (0.827).
Conclusion:
Governments and policymakers should develop disaster and safety policies by understanding direct and indirect effects and the relationship of factors related to R&D for improving R&D achievement.
