Objectives : Internet addiction is a newly appeared addictive phenomenon that is defined as 'difficulty in real life due to internet over-use', 'excessive time spent on the internet or replacement of genuine real relationships with superficial virtual ones' or 'weakness in self-control about internet use and if discontinued, fallen in psychological confusion and anergic state'. This study was aimed to compare the internet addiction rate, demographic factors, computer using patterns, anxiety, depression, and internet self-efficacy and outcome expectancy between Korean middle and high school students in three areas - Seoul, Cheonan, and Rural areas - that were different in economic, cultural, and geographic state. Methods : Subjects are consisted of middle and high school students in Seoul, Chunan, and Rural areas(N=1718). Self-rating questionnaire included demographic data, Korean Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Korean Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS), questions for internet-using pattern, Korean version of Internet Addiction Scale invented by K. S. Young, Internet Self-efficacy and Out-come Expectancy Scale. Results: In this study, prevalence of internet addiction was 2.9%. There was no significant difference found in prevalence of internet addiction among three areas. In all subjects, there were significant differences in anxiety, depression, internet self-efficacy and outcome expectancy, leisure style, places of internet use, internet connecting method, and insight on internee addiction. But, in addicted group, there was no significant difference among three areas. Conclusion: This study suggested that the difference in economic, cultural, and geographic state was not related to prevalence of internet addiction. Although there were significant differences in anxiety, depression, self-efficacy associated with internee use, leisure style, places of internet use, internet connecting method, insight on internet addiction among three areas, there were no significant difference in addicted group among three areas. So, we concluded that the difference in economic, cultural, and geographic state did not influence the prevalence of internet addiction, and despite the difference in economic, cultural, and geographic state, people in three areas were equally influenced by internet addiction.

국가간 지역간 물의 이동을 개념화하여 물 부족 현상을 정치경제학적 관점에서 접근하려는 가상수(virtual water) 연구가 국제적으로 진행되고 있다. 가상수를 양적 측면에서 산정하여 정확한 물 수지를 파악하면 수자원에 대한 국가의 계획과 전략 수립에 매우 유리한 여건이 조성된다. 우리나라의 국가계획인 수자원장기종합계획은 국가 간의 물 이동을 고려하지 않고 국내에서 발생하는 용수의 수요와 공급 측면만을 산정하고 있다. 그러나 현재에도 국내에서 소비하는 농산물과 축산물의 상당량은 수입에 의존하고 있으며, 향후 국제교역과 FTA의 확대 등으로 그 의존도는 더욱 증대될 것으로 추산된다. 따라서 국가 간 물 이동에 대한 양적 규모를 파악하여 국가전략을 수립하는 기초자료로 활용하기 위한 연구가 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 산업연관분석법을 활용하여 국내 산업별(제조업, 서비스업) 가상수를 산정하여 국가 수자원계획 수립에 필요한 기초자료로서 제공하고자 한다. 산업연관분석(Inter-industry analysis)은 산업연관표를 바탕으로 산업 간의 상호 연관관계를 수량적으로 파악하는 방법이다. 이를 가상수 산정에 활용하여 직접수와 간접수를 포함한 물의 전체 사용량을 산정할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 각 산업의 용수량을 총 생산량으로 나누어 물 강도($m^3$/원)를 계산하고, 생산유발계수와 최종수요를 곱하는 방식으로 산업별 가상수량을 산정하였다. 산업별 가상수 산정 결과는 경제총조사의 용수비와 산업연관표의 생산유발계수를 적용하였으며, 제2차 산업인 제조업 분야의 연간 가상수량은 60.4억 $m^3$, 제3차 산업인 서비스 분야의 가상수량은 연간 43.1억 $m^3$으로 분석하였다. 또한 향후 10년의 OECD 기술수준 제품군별 무역수지 전망을 고려한 결과, 기술수준 중 및 고 기술제품의 가상수 수출량이 2020년에는 2010년에 비해 약 3배 증가하는 것으로 산정하였다. 이와 같은 방법으로 산정된 산업별 가상수는 각 산업의 물 사용량을 추정하고 산업 전반의 수자원 활용도를 파악하는데 이용 가능하다. 더불어 국제 환경 및 기후변화가 반영된 가상수 시나리오 연구를 통해 장래 용수 수요변화예측 등 효과적인 물 관리 정책 수립에 기여할 수 있다.

Due to change in circumstances in the 2000s such as severe birthrate decline and shortened military service period, the armed forces of the Republic of Korea is currently turning to technologies and equipments from manpower, developing it to become high-tech, high-speed, and complex, resulting in an environment in which a single mistake could cause a mass mortality crisis.It is also evident that, considering aspects such as safety training curriculums and achievements of advanced countries and private education, hands-on training is a must in preventing suicides and accidents in the military, and establishing safety training centers is crucial for systematic and effective hands-on training.Soldiers who are joining the army as of now have experienced the Internet ever since they were born and easily use both virtual and augmented reality, and the current level of science and technology has developed to the point where most of the public safety experience centers are able to be replaced by virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR). Therefore, considering the aspects such as installation space, construction costs, maintenance costs, user characteristics, and education effects, other than for those trainings where real models and objects are more effective such as first aid training, it is with a strong recommendation that establishing military safety training facilities with VR/AR (Virtual and augmented reality) is a must in the coming future. We have derived the need for hands-on training by considering the development of virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR), analysis of operation status of the public safety experience centers, characteristics of military units, installation and maintenance costs, and proposed plan to establish safety training centers where effective training performance can be achieved at a lower cost than the public safety experience center. In addition, we suggested the scale of the required safety training center and the composition of the experience rooms considering the number of trainees and the environment of each military units. Given this analysis it will contribute to the prevention of military safety and suicide by building a safety training center in the future.

This study developed a geological virtual reality-based field trip (VFT) to find an alternative to replace the actual field trip, which is often considered lightly by students owing to difficulties in the school. For this purpose, we selected a total of five geological learning sites that focus on the Mt. Jeoksang Muju-gun, Jeollabuk-do, Korea by evaluating the contents of the curriculum and the possibility of developing a VFT. The developed VFT provided middle-school students with an interactive space to observe and explore rocks and geological structures, including orbicular granite gneiss, tuff, conglomerate, sandstone, stratification, and joints. A semi-structured interview was conducted with the 1st-grade middle-school students to evaluate the educational value of the VFT. The responses of the students were analyzed using semantic network analysis to understand the significance of relationships between the reaction words. Results show that the students were able to sense reality through the VFT, which enabled them to understand and remember the characteristics of rocks. Therefore, students can indirectly have a sense of reality of an outdoor experience through the VFT program, which positively influences their learning. Our study shows that VFT can be effectively utilized as a meaningful learning resource in schools.

This study examined the reality of military counseling education applied by the Army and studied the effects of military counseling training using virtual reality. First, we explored the cases of virtual reality application related to counseling, reviewed the virtual reality technology that can be benchmarked in the Army military counseling education, and examined the applicable technology. We classified the education method and the curriculum for the students and tested the difference using the analysis of variance, which is a statistical analysis method, through the satisfaction measurement of the current education. In addition, after having students experience virtual reality contents, the effects of practical training applied with virtual reality technology were derived and the difference in actual training was compared and analyzed through T-test. Then, the reliability of the study was improved by analyzing the effects of practical training using virtual reality by using the Analytic Hierarchy Process for the expert group who can consider the overall situation. Based on the results of the analysis, the development plan of military counseling training combined with virtual reality technology and the supplements of current military counseling education were presented as policy implications.
