Abstract

Purpose: Currently, the number of mountain accidents and safety accidents during hiking is increasing due to the quantitative expansion of the hiking population after the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19), and the frequency of mountain accidents and safety accidents while hiking alone is increasing. Also, it is a situation that hiking is spreading in general like a trend among young people. The number of novice hikers visiting the mountain is increasing, and mountain accidents and safety accidents are increasing due to solo hiking. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to reduce the increasing number of mountain safety accidents and to quickly locate and rescue valuable lives when mountain accidents and safety accidents occur during hiking. The research method is to provide a guide for safe hiking and to manufacture and activate a rescue device that enables rapid location by installing a rescue device in an environment where it is difficult to quickly rescue the injured due to difficulty in locating them. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to provide basic data that can help rescues by proposing a signal system method that allows rescuers to easily locate and save lives in the event of mountain accidents and safety accidents
