This paper aims to understand the changing characteristics of the Kumi region as a locality in Korea through the regional geography of the world-system approach. To illustrate the changing regional characteristics, we analyzed the economic characteristics or position of the Kumi region within the world-economy and its spatial structure with three divisions of Korean capitalist periods: the Japanese colonial period ($1910{\sim}1945$), the social chaos period ($1945{\sim}1960$), and the economic development period ($1960{\sim}$present). In the Japanese colonial and social chaos periods, as Korean society was incorporated into the peripheral zone within the world-System (world-economy), Kumi also was made into a peripheral agricultural area. As a result, the Kumi region shaped the rural spatial structure without an urban center or regional dominant center. In the development period, influenced by the manufacturing-centered economic policy which boosted Korea as a semi-periphery within world-economy, Kumi also was developed into an industrial region(or semi-periphery) with the establishment of the Kumi electronic and textile industrial complex. This industrialization transformed the rural spatial structure of Kumi into a core (urban center)-periphery (rural area) structure. As we identified above, the regional geography of the world-system approach turned out to be a useful methodology to study a locality or internal region. Therefore we should make efforts to study such regions through the regional geography of the world-system approach.

This study investigated the water quality of effluents from the wastewater treatment plants, located at the Gumi Complex 4, Gumi, and Wonpyong, in Gumi. DOC accounted for higher than 70% of TOC, and oxidation efficiencies, calculated from carbon, were 13~43% for BOD and 37~73% for CODMn, respectively. Based on the biological decomposition experiments, R-DOC account for higher than 70% of DOC, mostly being occupied by refractory organic matters. This indicated that the biodegradable organics occupied more proportions of organic loadings than the refractory organics. The effect of the organics from a discharge of a sewage treatment plant on rivers, Gumi industrial Complex 4, Gumi, and Wonpyong on lower streams of the Nakdong River were found to be 15%, 6% and 16% respectively. The ratio of 15% suggests that comparatively, no large portions of TOC loadings are occupied, but the problem is that the biodegradable organic matters occupy a lot more proportions than that of the refractory organic matters. Thus, it is highly estimated that the refractory organics can gradually increase the pollution level of organics and precursors of disinfection by-products to the down-stream water treatment plants.

This study analyzed the changes in the industrial environment surrounding the Gumi region and the status of the industrial crisis in the Gumi area amid such changes. The Gumi region is experiencing a more turbulent period than ever in the environment changes at the international, national and local levels, such as the transition to the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the weakening of the competitiveness of key industries including mobile devices and displays, and the moving-out of core companies such as Samsung and LG Group. Accordingly, efforts have been made to diversify the industrial structure by fostering industry of automobile parts, high-tech medical devices and carbon materials to cope with and adapt to environmental changes at the regional level. However, the Gumi region is still locked in to the mono-cultural, large enterprise-dependent industrial structure centering on the mobile and display sectors, failing to overcome the regional industrial crisis and stagnating the overall local economy. The relocation of large companies began to increase in the 2010s, reducing the protection of large corporations against environmental changes at the corporate level. As a result, the crisis factors of small and mediumsized enterprises are gradually expanding to the national and international scale and working more complexly, which is beyond the level they can afford. So it is highly likely that the current industrial crisis will deepen. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the resilience to adapt to changes in the environment when it comes to overcoming the industrial crisis in Gumi region. To this end, it is necessary to improve innovation capabilities and diversify businesses based on convergence and complex technologies at the enterprise level, and to be selected as a special crisis response area aimed at creating an innovative ecosystem through autonomous resonance of companies and industries at the local level.

This study analyzes the characteristics of the evolution process of the Gumi National Industrial Complex as well as its external and internal drivers based on the cluster adaptation cycle model. The Gumi National Industrial Complex has made remarkable progress through expansion in spatial and industrial realm and has become a representative IT industry cluster in Korea. It evolved during a growth period from the 1990s, a maturity period from the mid-2000s, and a mature stagnation period from the mid-2010s. But it has now entered a period of decline. While external drivers at the international and national level greatly influenced the Gumi National Industrial Complex in its evolution from foundation-building to maturity, internal drivers such as the outflow of large firms as well as a lack of SME research capacity and institutional base have added to the management difficulties of SMEs in the mature stagnation period. Therefore, in order for the Gumi National Industrial Complex to move into a revitalization period that strengthens resilience against external shocks, it is necessary to enhance the capacity of SMEs by expanding the roles of the central government, local government, and support agencies. In addition, it is necessary to create and embed strong medium enterprises within the Gumi National Industrial Complex, so that the Complex can be reborn as a sustainable innovation ecosystem.

Bruchidius siliquastri Delobel, 2007 belongs to the subfamily Bruchinae (Chrysomelidae) and is supposedly of eastern Asian origin. The species is recently regarded as an invasive species that infests the seeds of the leguminous plant Cercis siliquastrum L. (Fabaceae) in Europe. In Korea, this bruchid species was uploaded and identified by domestic Korean bloggers. However, they did not conduct a precise identification. Authors observed this species on a C. chinensis Bunge planted on the campus of Sunchon National University in the spring of 2022. In this study, we present new ecological data on the bruchid beetle B. siliquastri Delobel from Korea.

The purpose of this study was to elucidate the perception of drinking water and water environment held by housewives in Gumi city area. The subject of this study were 20 housewives and surveyed with a questionnaire on a self-reporting basis. Results are as follows: 1. Housewives were concerned about drinking water and water environment as natural resource affecting Gumi city area. The percentage og the housewives who had used the purified tap water and the boiled water as drinking water was 35% and 30%, respectively. Also, The percentage of the safety of tap water was 75%. However, their perceived level about the safety of drinking water was relatively low. 2. Housewives suggests that a drinking water conservation campaign and active participation may be more effective if it is linked to local community. Furthermore, continuous education about drinking water and water environment promoting perception of tap water as drinking water.

Essential oils of coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) seeds were extracted by three extraction methods, steam distillation extraction (SDE), hexane extraction (HE) and supercritical extraction (SE), to compare their insecticidal activities against Sitophilus oryzae and S. zeamais. Although the essential oil extracted by HE and SE did not show insecticidal activities, the essential oil extracted by SDE showed the highest insecticidal activities against S. oryzae and S. zeamais. The chemical compositions of the essential oil extracted by SDE were analyzed by GC-MS. The most abundant compounds were linalool (59.92%), camphor (7.94%), linalool oxide (7.70%), p-cymene (7.44%), ${\alpha}-pinene$ (6.44%), limonene (3.29%) and geranyl acetate (3.19%). Camphor and linalool as major constituents showed the highest insecticidal activities against S. oryzae and S. zeamais whereas other constituents did not show insecticidal activities. As a result, the essential oil extracted by SDE, camphor and linalool showed a potential for development as insecticide against the storage pests.

보는 일반적으로 흐르는 하천을 막아 수위를 높여서 취수 용도로 사용되는 저수 시설의 역할을 한다. 그러나 홍수 시 보 구조물은 홍수류 소통의 장애물 역할을 하여 보 상류의 수위를 상승시키고, 이는 곧 보의 상류에서는 침수피해를 발생시키기도 한다. 따라서 홍수 시 보 구조물이 하천흐름을 방해하지 않도록 설계하여 보의 통수능과 안정성을 확보시키는 것은 보 설계 시에 매우 중요한 요인으로 작용한다. 본 연구에서는 낙동강 구미보를 대상으로 보 구조물에 의한 보 상류부의 통수능 및 치수안정성에 대해 분석하기 위하여 수리모형실험을 수행하였다. 가동보의 수문 운영 조건에 따른 보 상류부의 수위 변화, 빈도 홍수량에 의한 구미보 상류의 흐름특성을 유속 및 수위측정을 통하여 비교 분석하였다. 구미보의 수문 2개를 이용하여 수문 2개 개방 조건, 수문 1 개 개방, 수문 1개 폐쇄 조건, 수문 2개 폐쇄 조건으로 구분하여 실험을 진행하여 분석하였다. 연구 결과 수문폐쇄조건에서 수위가 가장 크게 나타났으며 급격히 상승하였다. 수문이 폐쇄된 2년 빈도의 홍수량조건이, 수문이 개방된 100년 빈도 홍수량조건보다 상류수심이 높게 형성되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 실제 계획홍수량보다 작은 유량조건일지라도 수문이 폐쇄됐을 경우에 보 상류부는 홍수범람의 위험이 더욱 커진다고 판단되었다. 가동보 수문을 개방하여 통수하는 경우에 보 상류의 수위저하 영역을 검토한 결과, 유량이 클수록 가동보에 의해 수심저하 영향을 받는 보 상류의 영역이 늘어나며, 보 상류 방향으로 거리에 따른 보 상류의 수심저하가 발생하는 거리의 관계는 유량 크기에 비례하는 것으로 나타났다.
