The purpose of this study is to review the changes in the aviation safety management system, how that system has evolved and what forces caused these changes to take place. Also included is an examination of the development process of the aviation safety management system in view of the new institutionalism, identifying the patterns of change. Based on the results of this study, I propose policy methods to design a desirable civil aviation safety system with a view toward raising the safety standards in the Korean civil aviation community. The major analysis variables are as follows: first, aviation accidents caused by external factors and international standards as independent variables second, environmental changes and political processes affecting aviation safety management system as major mediating variables and third, the aviation safety management legal system, the aviation safety management organizations and an expert participation system as dependent variables. The institutional changes and continuance of the aviation safety management system show that when specific circumstances arise, the continuance lasts depending on the path dependency, and in a certain circumstance, when immanent changing factors reach a critical point, the system suddenly changes by a punctuated equilibrium, which are all included in this study.

최근 기후변화로 인해 지구촌 곳곳은 이전에 경험하지 못한 극한 홍수재해로 몸살을 앓고 있다. 2011년 태국에서는 짜오프라야강 범람으로 국토의 70% 이상이 침수되었고, 2013년 인도 북부지역에서는 갠지스강 및 지류의 범람, 산사태, 가옥붕괴 등으로 1,000여명이 숨지고 관광객 및 순례객 7만여명의 발이 묶이는 피해가 발생하였으며, 2014년 발칸반도에서는 120년만의 폭우로 인하여 30여명이 사망하고 100만명의 이재민이 발생하였다. 국내의 경우 2011년 수도권을 중심으로 하루에 300mm가 넘는 기록적 호우가 쏟아지면서 주택과 도로의 침수, 산사태 등으로 많은 인명 및 재산피해가 발생하였다. 또한 2014년 8월 경남 부산지역에는 시간당 130mm가 넘는 국지성 호우에 따른 산사태, 침수 등으로 도심기능이 마비되는 피해가 발생하기도 하였다. 이처럼 대부분의 자연재난은 태풍 및 집중호우 등 물재해로 발생하고 있으며, 국내의 경우 2012년 전체 자연재난의 95.6%, 2013년 전체 자연재난의 93%를 물재해가 차지하였다. 이에 구조적 비구조적 홍수 재해 저감대책 수립 및 시행 등 지속적인 물관리 노력으로 대하천에서 발생하는 홍수피해는 크게 감소하였으나, 지자체를 중심으로 운영 관리되고 있는 중소하천에서의 피해는 오히려 점차 증가하고 있다. 조사에 따르면 최근 5년간(2007~2011) 홍수피해의 98% 이상이 중소하천을 중심으로 발생한 것으로 발표된 바 있다. 특히 지자체의 경우 전문인력 및 기술력 부족, 열악한 재정 등으로 피해가 반복되고 있는 실정이다. 이에 따라 중소하천과 같이 소외된 지역의 물복지 향상을 위해서는 홍수재해 상황에 신속하고 효과적으로 대응하기 위한 과학적 체계적인 선진 홍수재해 관리체계의 구축이 요구되는 바이다. 이에 물관리 전문기관인 K-water에서는 지난 2010년부터 ICT기반의 우수한 물관리 기술력과 홍수대응 Know-How를 활용하여 '지자체 맞춤형 홍수재해관리시스템' 구축을 지원하고 있다. 본 시스템은 상 하류의 다양한 재난 정보를 수집 통합하고, 수집된 정보를 활용한 홍수분석을 통해 예방적 재난대응 체계를 구축하는 것으로, K-water는 지난 2010년 남원시를 시작으로 무주군, 군산시, 진안군 등의 시스템 구축을 지원하고 있다. 재난은 복구보다 예방이 우선되어야 함은 모두 다 아는 사실이지만 예산문제 등으로 항상 소 잃고 외양간 고치는 일이 아직까지 반복되고 있다. K-water는 물관리 전문 공기업으로써의 역할을 다하고, 예방 위주의 재난관리 체계 마련을 위해 '지자체 맞춤형 홍수재해관리시스템' 구축 지원을 지속적으로 확대해 나갈 것이다.

Block-chain enjoys technical advantages such as "robust security," owing to the structural characteristic that forgery is impossible, decentralization through sharing the ledger between participants, and the hyper-connectivity connecting Internet of Things, robots, and Artificial Intelligence. As a result, public organizations have highly positive attitudes toward the adoption of technology using block-chain, and the design of university information services is no exception. Universities are also considering the application of block-chain technology to foundations that implement various information services within a university. Through case studies of block-chain applications across various industries, this study designs an empirical model of an integrated information service platform that integrates information systems in a university. A basic road map of university information services is constructed based on block-chain technology, from planning to the actual service design stage. Furthermore, an actual empirical model of an integrated information service in a university is designed based on block-chain by applying this framework.

The purpose of this study was to research the relationships among utilitarian perceptions, hedonic perceptions, perceived usefulness and behavioral intention. Recently, consumers rely heavily on user-generated contents of social media channels to support their purchase decisions, such as electronic word-of-mouth. Electronic word-of-mouth helps consumers to evaluate items before making purchase, to reduce purchase risks and to support their purchase decisions. This study was based on both the analysis derived from a hypothesis and literature reviews and data collected from 255 travelers who had used travel review website at least once. The results of empirical analysis showed as follows. First, Utilitarian perceptions(information quality) has a significant impact on the perceived usefulness of a travel review website. Second, Enjoyment has a significant impact on the perceived usefulness of a travel review website. Third, Curiosity fulfilment has a significant impact on the perceived usefulness of a travel review website. Finally, Perceived usefulness of a travel review website has a significant impact on behavioral intention. Based on these findings, the implications and limitations of the study were presented including some directions for future studies.

This study surveyed residents and public officials for the projects to make smart-city plans of Geumsan-gun. First, domestic and foreign cases related to smart city projects were reviewed. The local status of Geumsan-gun was investigated regarding various aspects of the natural, social, urban environment, and smart-city facilities. The survey results were as follows. Overall, more than half of the survey respondents said they were satisfied with their housing quality. Several problems in their areas, such as inefficient welfare system, shortage of parking space, and industrial infrastructure, were reported. On the other hand, tourism and leisure facilities, health care support systems, industries to boost the economy, and the job market were also important issues. The problem was that the regional problems mentioned above were not in line with their preferences for smart-city services. The implications of the survey results could be summed up as follows. The groupware surveys of Geumsan-gun should be used as survey tools, whereas IT survey tools (Google, Survey Monkey, etc.) should be used for locals. In particular, a survey targeting residents should ask plain and compact questions taking advantage of local gatherings. It is also important to have a pilot-survey with relevant public officials and select related projects and regional issues. The survey of local residents and public officials is a prerequisite for promoting smart city projects. The smart city project shall reflect the needs of residents while solving community problems by considering the survey results and local conditions.

Rural life improvement has remained a key policy concern for the governments of most developing countries. However, developing countries mostly focused on agricultural productivity and technology development while implementing rural development policies. This paper was aimed at constructing the trends and identify the major tasks implemented through the rural life improvement programs in Korea and describing rural development efforts in Ethiopia after the Second World War. The data was generated through an intensive review of literature and focus group interview in Korea. The two countries in general and their rural areas in particular, were poor and almost similar initially. While the condition of rural Korea rapidly transformed since 1960s, rural Ethiopia has not yet experienced major improvement. Although different rural development efforts have been made in Ethiopia, erratic policies implemented by the different political regimes across time emerge to be one of the main factors behind the poor performance of the of the rural sector. Further, while the Korean government's rural development policy gave equal emphasis to improvement of agricultural production base as well as rural life improvement right from its inception, the Ethiopian rural development policy has rather neglected the rural life improvement aspect. Diversification of rural economy was also another priority area in Korea's rural development policy through agro-processing, rural tourism, and non-farm employment opportunities whereas this has not been the case in Ethiopia's rural development policy. We suggest some lessons that Ethiopia might adapt for its rural life improvement endeavors.
