Abstract

The weather and climate are having a huge impact on all mankind and the ecosystem. Extreme weather events include sudden floods, storms, and heat waves. In this study, warning pictograms such as typhoons, floods, heat waves, and cold waves were investigated in the official government systems of Hong Kong, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Japan to collect and analyze cases of pictograms related to natural disasters. Each pictogram was evaluated from the perspective of 'signal system, color, symbol type, language'. As a result, the climate disaster warning pictogram was designed and delivered to the public as one of the national disaster safety systems as a symbolic language that could have a significant impact on citizens' decision-making in an emergency caused by bad weather. Therefore, it was found that the establishment of a visually organized warning pictogram design is one of the attractive tools to improve social responsiveness to climate disasters. It is hoped that this study will be used as basic data for warning pictogram design to help minimize the damage of climate disasters that may occur in Korea in the future.

气候灾害指导“预警象形图”可视化特征研究——以香港、英国、澳大利亚和日本天气灾害预警象形图为例

天气和气候正在对全人类和生态系统产生巨大影响。极端天气事件包括突然的洪水、风暴和热浪。本研究在香港、澳洲、英国、日本的官方政府系统中，以台风、洪水、热浪、寒潮等预警象形文字为研究对象，搜集与自然灾害相关的象形文字案例进行分析。从“信号系统、颜色、符号类型、语言”的角度对每个象形文字进行评价。因此，气候灾害预警象形文字作为一种象征语言，作为国家灾害安全系统之一，在恶劣天气造成的紧急情况下，对公民的决策产生重大影响，被设计并发布给公众。因此，我们发现建立一个视觉上有组织的预警象形文字设计是提高社会对气候灾害反应性的有吸引力的工具之一。希望该研究能够作为预警象形文字设计的基础数据，以帮助减少未来可能在韩国发生的气候灾害的损害。
