The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between central city and suburban areas. In particular, we examine the relationship of construction activities in suburban areas with construction activities in central city. That is because if the construction activities in central city are correlated with those in suburban areas, the economic trends in those two parts would become interdependent. The construction permit data in 114 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) for the past 11 years are used as a central explanatory variable of influencing the relationship, as construction permits issued would reflect population growth, economic growth and housing price in certain area. The main findings of our analysis are as follows. First, MSAs classified as showing high population growth has higher correlation between central city and suburban area than MSAs showing low population growth rate except for only office construction. However, there is little difference in correlation characteristic by the size of MSA Second, most of the MSAs show little causality between the central city and suburban area in lagged situation. Therefore, it is hard to say that the past trend of construction activity in central city reflects in direct the future trend of construction activities in suburban area.

Large metropolitan areas in the US are distinguished by highly fragmented fiscally independent suburban municipalities and special districts. The suburban fragmentation implies the congregation of similar socio-economic groups escaped from central cities and the disparity of geographical resources among local government jurisdictions. This study examines St.Louis County suburbs as a case study for the implictions of suburban governmental fragmentation and the fiscal disparities across local governmental boundaries by analyzing their relationship with public service provision using police and public school services as examples. The distribution of fiscal resources across political boundaries, the processes which created them, and public service inequalities reproduced from the disparity of fiscal resources reveal the causes and consequences of suburban governmental fragmentation. The central part of suburban fragmentation is the segregation of public goods consumption reproduced from the disparity of local fiscal resources, and it acts as a basic geographical segregating force in the suburban spatial organization.

도시의 기온은 지표면 피복상태의 변화와 도시내부의 에너지 사용의 증가에 의해서 주변의 교외지역과는 차이가 있다. 따라서 도시기후의 연구에 있어서 도시와 교외의 기온의 비교 연구는 도시기상의 기초가 되어 왔다(Howard, 1883, Lowry, 1969). 일반적으로 도시가 교외보다 기온이 높은 것으로 알려져 있고 기온이 높은 영역은 도심을 중심으로 나타나면서 도시열섬(Heat Island)으로 일컸는다. (중략)

미국 교외화에 관한 전통적인 접근의 한 축인 natural evolution 이론에서는 교외화의 요인으로서 소득증가와 교외지역 단독주택(single-family detached housing)에 대한 수요 증가, 자동차의 대중화로 인한 주택수요자의 공간이동성 증가, 주택소유 장려와 고속도로 건설 등의 미국 연방정부의 각종 정책, 그리고 교외주택의 대량생산에 따른 주택소유 비용의 하락을 강조해왔다. (중략)

We conducted this study to obtain basic data of lead concentrations in children of Ulsan industrial area and to evaluate the difference in blood lead levels between industrial area and suburban area. The study subjects were composed of 348 school children residing in industrial area and 100 school children of suburban area. There is no difference in age and sex distribution of study participants between industrial and suburban area. The obtained results were as follows; 1. The geometric means of blood lead levels of study participants were $4.90{\mu}g/d\ell$, which is lower than current acceptable value $10{\mu}g/d\ell$. 2. The children residing in industrial area had the higher blood lead levels$(5.26{\mu}g/d\ell)$ than suburban children$(3.81{\mu}g/d\ell)$ with statistical significance(P<0.001).

Objectives : To evaluate the effect of low-level exposure of air pollutants on the respiratory tract of the children living near the petrochemical estate in Ulsan. Methods : The study design was cross-sectional, and the study subjects consisted of 150 children(76 boys, 74 girls) living near the petrochemical estate and 100 children(53 boys, 47 girls) living in a suburban area. We investigated respiratory health using self-administered questionnaires(ATS-DLD-78) , radiological examination, and pulmonary function test such as FVC and FEV1. Results : There were higher prevalence rates of respiratory symptoms in the children living near the petrochemical estate than the children living in a suburban area. And the results of FVC and FEV1 of 11-years old children living near the petrochemical estate were lower than those of the children living in a suburban area. Conclusions : Chronic exposure of low-level air pollutants would affect respiratory health of the children. Therefore, further a longitudinal study of respiratory health will be needed for children living near the petrochemical estate in Ulsan.

본 연구에서는 교외지역인 전남 나주에 소재한 동신대학교 1공학관 주변의 환경 대기중의 VOC중 벤젠을 계절별로 그 농도를 비교해 보았다. 그 결과 첫째, 벤젠과 톨루엔의 계절별 농도 평균값이 봄(늦봄), 여름, 가을 순으로 농도가 높게 나타나 온도에 상대적으로 많은 영향이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 둘째, 나주지역의 벤젠농도가 여천지역이나 서울지역에 비해 봄에 8배, 3배 그리고 여름철에 14배, 5배 정도로 각각 낮게 나타나 나주 지역이 비교적 청정지역임을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 Cost231-Hata 모델과 Cost231-Walfisch-Ikegami 모델을 비교 분석하고, 두 모델의 전파환경이 서로 근접하게 되는 송신안테나의 높이, 건물군의 높이, 그리고 도로폭의 상관관계를 나타내는 전송손실 곡선들을 제시한다. 이러한 곡선들은 Okumura-Hata 모델의 정성적인 전파환경(도심지, 교외지역, 개활지)을 정량적인 요소(건물군의 높이, 도로폭) 로서 설명하여, Okumura-Hata(Cost231-Hata) 모델을 다른 도시, 나라에 적용시킬 때 하나의 기준으로 활용 될 수 있을 것이다. 또한 최근에 제안된 ITU-R 모델과 Okumura-Hata(Cost231-Hata)모델을 비교 분석한 결과, ITU-R 곡선들은 Okumura-Hata의 교외지역 전파환경에 대한 사용식을 확장한 것으로 사료된다.

Objectives. We conducted this study to obtain basic data of urinary levels of arsenic, cadmium, and zinc in children of Ulsan industrial area and to evaluate the difference in urinary levels of these metals between industrial area and suburban area. Methods. The study subjects were composed of 348(male 182, female 166) school children residing in industrial area and 100(male 50, female 50) school children of suburban area. We analyzed urinary levels of arsenic, cadmium, and zinc using atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Results. The geometric means of urinary level of arsenic, cadmium, and zinc of study participants were 3.69, 0.99, $282.49{\mu}g/l$ respectively. The adjusted geometric means of urinary levels of arsenic, cadmium, and zinc of study participants were 3.92, 1.05, $299.92{\mu}g/g$ creatinine respectively. Conclusions. The children residing in industrial area had the higher urinary levels of arsenic and cadmium than suburban children with statistical significance(p<0.01).
