In Korea, aside from their official administrative names, aliases of each province or some regions are widely used not only today but also during the Joseon period when the provincial system as local administrative system was firmly implemented. Of aliases, the most representative were Giho, Gwandong, Hoseo, Haeseo, Honam, Yaeongnam, Gwanseo, and Gwanbuk representing the eight provinces (precisely, Gyeonggi and seven provinces) of Chosun Dynasty, as well as Yeongdong and Yeongseo that represent the east and the west of Gangwon-do. These aliases are mostly based on topographical features and physiographical elements, and compared to the official names of eight provinces which depended solely on city names. Of aliases, some appeared in literature during 13-l4th centuries, and all provincial aliases seem to have been widely used after the late 15th century. Aliases continued to be used for 500 to over 700 years. Aliases of eight provinces, geographically, played not lesser role than their official names. Aliases of the eight provinces and regions during the Chosun Dynasty that have been handed down are considered as holding their places' cultural and historical backgrounds, and have become important enough to be accepted as a unit of geographical regional division. The origin and meaning of aliases of each province have been partially disclosed to the geographical circle and the general public. However, the details should be reviewed. First of all, Gwan in Gwanbuk, Gwanseo and Gwandong, as well as Yeong in Yeongnam, Yeongdong and Yeongseo, are each considered as meaning Sobaek Mountain Range and Taebaek Mountain Range with many borderline areas (borders) and military strategic hubs. Also, Ho in Honam, Hoseo, and Giho, are considered as based on the Geum River and Eurimji, and Haeseo are considered as meaning the west of the Gyeonggi Bay, and having relevancy with the first letters of Haeju and Seoha (Pungcheon).

We analysed the old automatic clock and time signal system that was used by the national astronomical agency in East Asian Area. Jagyeongnu is a kind of water clock that was operated by the flowing water in Joseon Dynasty. Seowoongwan managed the water clock so as to keep the standard time system in the dynasty from the 16th year (1434) of King Sejong's reign. In 1438 the Okru that was invented in the period. Such kind of clock system already was used in China, which was Shui $y\ddot{u}n$ i hsiang t'ai (水運儀象壹) in 1092. During the period Joseon Dynasty, China and Japan had been kept the time system that one day is divided into 12 shin (12辰) or 100 gak (刻). However detailed part of the system had a little difference among the three countries. Though the whole system of water clock in Joseon had manufactured on the basis of Chinese, it had been gradually developed by own method and idea. In this study we show the historical records of the standard time keeping system in East Asian history. And then we can inform materials on the structure and functional devises for the purpose of new restoration models about the automatic clock and time system.

In the Local Autonomy Law, we regard the fire-fighting service as inherent service for the local government. However, if we look into the course of the charge of fire-fighting service, after the transfer of this from the police service, or the state, to the local service in 1991, this is now taking a firm hold as service of the local government. what we call the local services includes the business about the welfare of the residents and that of taking in charge of the resident properties, proclaimed in the Constitution. That is to say, the basic purpose of the local autonomy is to make the residents feel the most convenient and safe, and this is the mission of the present-day local autonomy. Looking from this point of view, if we consider that the ultimate purpose of fire-fighting is promoting the welfare of the residents by preventing and putting out fires and, in the time of emergency, carrying out rescue and relief operations, and furthermore, maintaining the safety and order of a society, until present time the benefits of fire-fighting business were mainly available to the residents of the cities. In order to break from these thoughts, according to the result of comparing and analyzing the metropolitan city, surrounding rural areas, middle and small cities and typical rural areas, the rural areas are urgently demanding fire-fighting service, so it is being proved that it is necessary to install the offices in these areas. Therefore, the installation of the fire-fighting offices in the counties that are the basic units of the primary local autonomy and are rural areas should be expanded as part of the welfare administration.

Emergency Medical Service(EMS) has become focused due to all kinds of disaster and a great number of casualties. The 119 emergency vehicles' dispatching methods are now being focused, for travel time of ambulances are the critical components in terms of saving human lives. Therefore, this study tried to rearrange 119 EMS regions more efficiently. For this study, Daejeon Metropolitan City's real call cases were analyzed. In order to rearrange the regions, OD Cost Matrix analysis was performed between 800 thousands random points and 26 departments in the Daejoen Metropolitan City. By creating Thiessen Polygon from the random points, a new region was created. As a results, average areas of the regions were reduces from 32 square kilometers to 20 square kilometers, and average time of arrivals are were also improved. Hence, if related organizations plan to rearrange EMS regions, they may utilize this study.

본 연구에서는 산악형 강수의 특성을 보이는 제주도의 여러 지형 조건과 강수량의 관계를 확인하고 강수량에 영향을 미치는 주요 인자를 분석하였다. 제주도는 원추형의 형태로 중심에 한라산이 있는 전형적인 산악형 지형이고 해발고도의 분포가 $EL.0^{\sim}1950m$로 다양하여 본 연구의 대상지역으로 선정하였다. 강우자료는 제주도 내 기상관서 4개소(제주, 서귀포, 성산포, 고산) 및 자동기상관측소(AWS) 13개소의 관측자료를 활용하였으며, 짧은 자료기간을 보완하기 위해 지역빈도해석을 적용하여 확률강우량을 산정하였다. 본 연구에서는 강수에 영향을 줄 수 있는 지형인자 6개를 지리정보시스템(GIS)을 이용하여 추출하였으며, 추출된 지형인자에 대하여 요인분석으로 대표 인자를 추출하고 요인과 실제변수들의 강수량에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위하여 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 검정결과 도출된 요인을 이용하면 강수량 산정 시 지형 변수들의 영향을 반영함과 동시에 보다 적은 수의 변수를 이용하여 지형 변수들을 모두 반영하였을 경우와 비슷한 결과를 얻는다는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 추후 지형 변수들을 추가로 확보하여 지형특성을 반영한 간편하고 합리적인 강수량을 산정하기 위한 추가 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 기상청 기상관측소 325개소(기상관서:61개소, 자동기상시스템(AWS):264개소)의 관측자료를 이용하여 우리나라 최근 10년간의 강수 현황, 평년대비 변화 추세, 그리고 전국적 가뭄년도의 강수 특성에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 최근 10년간의 연강수량은 평년 대비 7.3% 증가하는 추세로서 7월의 경우 평년 대비 25% 증가하나 11월의 경우 34% 감소하여 가뭄과 홍수의 자연재해 발생 위험도가 높아지고 있음을 보여주고 있다. 최근 10년간의 언론보도 조사결과, 가뭄이 발생하지 않은 2003년을 제외하고 매년 지역적 강수부족으로 제한급수가 실시되어져 지역적 강수부족은 매년 존재하고 있음이 확인되었다. 가뭄년도와 비가뭄년도의 월별 강수 변화 분석결과, 최근 20년 전국적 가뭄이 발생한 연도에는 2-5월사이 10년 평균강수량에 못미치는 강수가 발생하고 있음이 나타났고 이 특성을 이용한 누적강수량의 지속적 감시는 가뭄 조기경보 가능성을 보여주고 있다고 사료된다. 이에 관하여 최근 90일 누적 강수량과 댐 수위 상황도를 산출하고 이를 사례분석하여 보았다. 이 방법을 사용할 때 현재(2011년 3월말) 강수부족이 지속된다면 낙동강 중 상류지역에 물부족이 발생 가능성이 높을 것으로 예상된다.

한국도서관협회(회장 이두영)는 9월 24일부터 3일간 경주교육문화회관에서 '전국도서관대회'를 개최했다. 신일희 총장(계명대)은 기조연설을 통해 시대적 사명에 복무했던 도서관의 영광을 재현할 것을 촉구했다. 그는 "도서관이 지식과 정보를 보급하는 것은 인류발전을 위해 수임받은 숭고한 사명"이라며 도서관 대중화를 위한 관계자들의 적극적인 노력을 요망했다. 특별강연과 주제발표, 세미나 등 모두 26편의 강연이 이뤄진 가운데 김포옥 교수가 주제발표한 (공공도서관장의 전문의식과 교육방향)은 앙케트를 바탕으로 도서관의 실질적인 운영자인 도서관장의 '전문가 의식'을 분석해 눈길을 끌었다. 김포옥 교수는 전국 도서관장 329명 중에 설문에 응한 188명의 응답을 바탕으로 근무경위.근무연수.사서교육이수 여부 등을 분석했다. 주목되는 대목은 도서관장의 34%가 사서자격증조차 없는 비전문가라는 점, 도서관장을 전문직으로 평가한 사람이 115명(61.2%)에 불과한 점 등이다. '도서관 일을 특별히 지망하지 않았다.'는 관장이 44%나 되어 애초부터 '전문가 의식'을 기대하는 것이 무리하는 추론도 도출했다. 김교수는 "도서관장의 전문가 의식을 키우기 위해 지속적인 교육과 직업만족도를 높이는 방안을 모색해야 할 것"이라고 주장했다. 제1주제 '도서관 정책' 방향을 모색하는 자리에서 한성택 교수(숭의여대) 등 3인은 21세기에 맞는 우리나라 도서관 정책의 기본 방향을 제고하고 도서관의 유기적 역할을 모색했다. 제2주제 '봉사'에 대해 채윤정 사서(정독도서관) 등 4인은 도서관의 서비스 실태와 향후 방향성을 논했으며, 제3주제 '운영'은 김포옥 교수(전북대) 등 4인이 도서관 운영의 현주소를 각각의 입장에서 조명했다. 마지막 주제는 '학교도서관' 활성화로, 김종성사서(부산대) 등 2인이 도서관과 학교 교육의 연계성, 학교도서관의 발전 전략 방안을 모색했다. 주제발표 논문 가운데 3편을 욕약해 싣는다.

We have established 88 auxiliary gravity reference stations by using two gravitimeters at the observation offices of the Korean meteorological agency and measured the locations by using GPS. All gravity values have been calculated on the basis of the gravity reference point at Pusan National University, thus, they have been established to bge easily converted to new absolute gravity value later. The increased numbers of the gravity reference stations will minimize errors due to measurements, drift correction etc. and increase the accuracy of the gravity data. The result of this research will be used to verify the gravity data which calculated with the relative gravity meter and to inspect relative gravity meters.

The Naesabones(內賜本) are the books awarded to the organizations and the individuals by the Kings of Joseon(朝鮮) Dynasty. The organizations include the history archives[史庫], the government offices[官廳], the private academies[書院] and the county public schools[鄕校]. The individuals include the royal family members and the members of the cabinet. In Joseon Dynasty, the books were distributed to the government offices, the members of the cabinet, and the people who participated in printing that book. Also after the official ceremonies, the books were given as the rewards. The purpose of this study is to examine the bibliographical features of the naesabones - especially awarded to the individuals - now in Kyujanggak.
