The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relative weight of infectious disease vulnerability indicators that affect the occurrence and spread of infectious diseases in local communities. For this, the infectious disease vulnerability indicators were classified as facilities vulnerable to spread, vulnerable groups of infections, social vulnerable conditions, and response capabilities based on literature and case review, and the relative weights among indicators were determined using Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP) by 22 experts. As a result of the analysis, the weight of each sector was found to be the highest in the facilities vulnerable to spread, and the overall weight was highest in the following order: sickbed securing rate(1st), density of religious facilities(2nd), medical personnel rate(3rd), elderly person ratio(4th), and entertainment establishment density(5th). These results can be used to prepare the supporting data necessary for the establishment of infectious disease response policies of local governments.

In this study, the characteristics of the experiences and perceptions of vulnerable adolescents on the school environment were explored and categorized, and of which the meanings were confirmed. For this purpose, Q methodology was used, and 94 Q samples were extracted by analyzing pre-interviews, literature analysis, and media search contents to form a Q population. Q classification was performed on the subjects. The schools belonging to the sample P are 7 high schools in Seoul and 4 high schools in Gyeonggi-do. As a result of analyzing the data collected in Q sorting using QUANL-PC program, a Q analysis program, it was classified into 4 types. Type 1 is 'a conformal and moeling type', and Type 2 is 'negative and defiant type', Type 3 is 'passive and helpless type' and Type 4 is 'progressive and struggling type'. Through this study, it is expected that this study will be able to understand the experiences and perceptions of the school environment of underprivileged adolescents, and to obtain the necessary clues for realistic support strategies for them.

현재 전 세계적으로 이상기후로 인해 자연재해가 증가하고 있으며, 우리나라 또한 집중호우, 태풍, 홍수 등의 자연재해로 인해 경제적 손실뿐만 아니라 인명피해도 증가하는 추세이다. 2014년도에만 약 2천억원의 재산피해가 발생 하였고, 5천억원 이상이 피해를 복구하는데 사용되었으며, 피해금액과 복구금액은 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 최근 발생한 토사재해의 경우에는 인구가 밀집한 도심지에서 발생하여 매우 단기간에 치명적인 피해를 야기 시키고, 사회적 관심을 크게 일으키기도 했다. 이처럼 자연재해가 인구가 밀집되어있고, 사회적재화가 많은 도심에서 발생할 경우 그 피해규모는 더욱 커질 수 있으므로 이에 대한 적절한 대응방안이 마련되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 대구지역에 대한 토사재해를 물리적 취약성과 사회적 취약성으로 구분하여 평가하고 이를 종합하여 평가하였다. 물리적 취약성은 Flow-R 모형을 사용하여 토사재해의 발생 가능성 및 정도를 평가하고, 발생지역의 건물 구분에 따라 그 취약성의 정도를 달리하였다. 사회적 취약성의 경우는 대구지역의 집계구 단위를 기준으로 하여, 다양한 사회적 지표에 계층분석법(Analytic Hierarchy Process, AHP)을 적용하여 지표에 대한 가중치를 산정하였다. 이후 물리적 취약성과 사회적 취약성의 값을 0에서 1사이로 정규화 시키고 정규화된 값을 다시 곱하여 0에서 1사이로 정규화 하여 취약성 정도로 나타내었다. 본 연구결과는 대구지역에 대한 토사재해의 취약성을 평가함으로써 대구 도심지에서 발생할 수 있는 토사재해 위험구역을 선정하고 방재시설을 준비하는데 있어서 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study is to empirically analyze factors which influence social and economic performance of social enterprises, and to examine the correlation of factors affecting social and economic performance. This study was conducted following the hypothesis that the organizational characteristics(organizational type, certification type, certification year, social service supply type, and external grants) of social enterprises affect social and economic performance, and that significant correlation exists between social and economic performance. This study collected the disclosure materials of 219 social enterprises certified between 2007- 2014 from the directory of the Korean Social Enterprise Promotion Agency. The study results are as follows: First, organizational characteristics affect social performance(i.e. jobs for the vulnerable classes). In addition, certification year and external grants had a positive effect on social performance. Second, the organizational characteristics affect the economic performance(i.e. sales), and certification year and external grants had a positive effect on economic performance. However, organizational type had a negative effect on the economic performance(i.e. sales). Third, analysis found a positive correlation of factors affecting social and economic performance. This study suggests the need to diversify support policies according to the number of authentication years in order to promote self-reliance and sustainability by maximizing the social and economic performance of social enterprises.
