The goal of this study is to deepen the understanding of robot business and application, and examine the relationships and development trends of robot evaluation scales. Through interactive mapping, 113 types of robot data samples were realized to be placed on seven evaluation scales and reference on specific information of each items were allowed. Also, by examining the robot development trends among different countries through interactive mapping, the trends could be largely divided into American, European, Japanese, and Korean. Throughout various parts of the evaluation scale, American and European views were found to consider robots mainly as tools. On the other hand, Japanese and Korean views considered robots as a 'partner' or 'neighbour' and were working to satisfy these aspects.

Nowadays as the use of mobile communication devices such as smart phones and tablets and the use of Computer is expanded, data is being collected exponentially on the Internet. In addition, due to the development of SNS, users can freely communicate with each other and share information in various fields, so various opinions are accumulated in the from of big data. Accordingly, big data analysis techniques are being used to find out the difference between the response of the general public and the response of the media. In this paper, we analyzed the public response in SNS about child allowance and childbirth grant and analyzed the response of the media. Therefore we gathered articles and comments of users which were posted on Twitter for a certain period of time and crawling the news articles and applied sentiment analysis. From these data, we compared the opinion of the public posted on SNS with the response of the media expressed in news articles. As a result, we found that there is a different response to some national policy between the public and the media.

This study attempts to analyze the effect of level of education on the attitudes toward immigrants or foreign workers. More specifically, we examine whether there is significant difference in the effects of the level of education and global mind on the attitude among three East Asian countries (South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan), controlling other socio-demographic factors in relation to increase in immigrants and foreign workers. Using EASS data, we employs sequential logit model to the general attitudes toward immigrant workers into the weighted sum of transition probability within each educational level. One major finding is that there is clear and significant difference in the relationship between the level of education and the attitudes toward foreign workers among three countries. In general, while Japanese and Taiwanese tend to have more open-minded attitudes toward foreign workers as they have higher level of education, Koreans are opposite case that they are little bit more hostile toward to foreign workers with higher level of education. Especially, there is strong positive effect of education on the attitude in Taiwanese case. Another finding is that while there is strong resistance against increase in migrant population in Korea and Taiwan, Japanese respondents want current level of foreign population to remain in the similar level. Our findings imply that there is no one converging pattern of relationship between the level of education and the positive attitudes toward foreign workers which can be applied to any country. Therefore, this paper suggests that unique political, social, and cultural characteristics of each country should be considered to better understand the effect of education on the attitude toward immigrants and foreign workers. Also, we conclude that systematic comparative-demographic analyses should be utilized to provide more comprehensive picture of how difference in educational level affects the attitude toward immigrants and foreign workers.

The main purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of stock price and real estate price on the money demand. We investigated the demand for money for 25 money units of 10 countries. To estimate the money demand functions, Johansen's cointegration and ARDL-bounds test were employed. Additionally, Stock and Watson's DOLS method was applied to estimate long-run cointegration vectors. According to the results of cointegration test, stock price and real estate price are crucial in the long-run equilibrium relationship. There were no cointegration relationships among money demand, real income, interest rate, and exchange rate in 12 money unit models. However, by including stock price and real estate price on the tested models, we could find strong cointegration relationships, using ARDL-bounds test. The results of DOLS confirm that stock price and real estate price are effective factors influencing on money demands. Especially, the coefficient of real estate price is statistically significant in the 19 out of 20 money unit models. However, the direction and magnitude of coefficients of asset prices are different across countries and money units.

By using social network analysis, this study examined 102 countries, 281 ports, and 6,318 maritime routes associated with the global network of the Maersk Line. With the 'Belt and Road' in place, China is developing ports, expanding the cooperation with major ports, and increasing its influence on maritime transport. China's ports' reform and development implies establishing stable and independent logistic networks for supply of raw materials as well as exports and imports. This is closely related not only to individual ports' competitiveness, but also to relational structures between maritime powerhouses such as the US-which has the largest share and influence in the global market-and the surrounding countries. In this regard, an analysis of the maritime transport needs to consider the characteristics of individual ports together with those of each country. This study identified the characteristics of each port in light of the relationships in the global network of Maersk and applied them to each country. Moreover, the individual networks of China, the US, and Korea are compared. The findings showed that China, the US, Panama, Malaysia, and Spain accounted for large shares of the global network, while the shares of China, Korea, Taiwan, and Vietnam were high in China's network. In addition, by comparing individual networks of China, the US, and Korea, it emerged that Korean ports such as Busan and Gwangyang had secured a high level of competitiveness in the Chinese network.

This study compared and analyzed, after extracting the subject titles related to Korea and Japan from the second version of Chinese Classified Thesaurus, the number of titles and characteristics according to the subjects. The analysis result shows that total number of Korea-related titles including proper nouns was 215, which is limited in comparison to that of Japan, in terms of the number and diversity of the subjects. Particularly, the CCT does not accurately reflect the current state of Korea as it uses the word 'Josun' to denote Korea and calls Korean War 'Josun War' as well as only recording it in North Korean history. Meanwhile, Japan-related subject titles include many that show the complicated historical relationship between Japan and China, such as Manchurian Incident and Japan-China War.

The purpose of this study is to present empirical evidence for discussion of financing social welfare via estimating optimal tax burden in the main member countries of the OECD by using Hausman-Taylor method considering endogeneity of explanatory variables. Also, the author produced an international tax comparison index reflecting theoretical hypotheses on revenue-expenditure nexus within a model to compare real tax burden by countries and to examine feasibility of tax increase in Korea. As a result of the analysis, the higher the level of tax burden was, the higher the level of welfare expenditure was, indicating the connection between high burden and high welfare from the aspect of scale. The results also indicated that the subject countries recently entered into the state of low tax burden. Meanwhile, Korea had maintained low burden until the late 1990s but the tax burden soared up since the financial crisis related to the IMF. However, due to the impact of foreign economy and the tax reduction policy, it reentered into the low-burden state after 2009. On the other hand, the degree of social welfare expenditure's reducing tax burden has been gradually enhanced since the crisis. In this context, the current optimal tax burden ratio of Korea as of 2010 may be 25.8%~26.5% of GDP based on input of welfare expenditure variables, a percent that Korea was investigated to be a 'high tax burden-low ITC' country whose tax increase of 0.7~1.4%p may be feasible and that the success of tax system reform for tax increase might be higher probability when compare to others. However, measures of increasing social security contributions and consumption tax were analyzed to be improper from the aspect of managing finance when compared to increase in other tax items, considering the relatively higher ITC. Tax increase is not necessarily required though there may be room for tax increase; the optimal tax burden ratio can be understood as the level that may be achieved on average when compared to other nations, not as the "proper" level. Thus, discussion of tax increase should be accompanied with comprehensive understanding of models of economic developmental difference from nations and institutional & historical attributes included in specific tax mix.

With the recent global threats of terrorism as well as religious conflicts, Northeast Asian countries including South Korea, China, and Japan are experiencing particularly serious security crises as demonstrated by North Korea's threats of nuclear weapons testings and long-range missile launching as well as military provocation toward South Korea such as sinking of ROKS Cheonan and bombardment of Yeonpyeong island and the territorial dispute between China and Japan over Senkaku Islands(Diaoyu Islands). As a result, Park Geun Hye Administration of South Korea and the 2nd Abe Shinzo Cabinet of Japan, both recently established, are making efforts to improve their national security and crisis management policies. One of the key elements of such efforts is the strengthening of National Security Council(NSC) or its equivalent organization as the control tower of national security policy, modeled after the NSC of the United States. This paper compares NSC organization of Korea, the U.S., and Japan and draws policy insights focusing on the current political and national security situation South Korea is facing. Although organizational structure, function, and history of NSC of each country differs, it can be inferred from this comparison that NSC-type of organizations can play an important role as a control tower of security and emergency management policies.

기후변화에 의한 강우패턴의 변화는 강우량 및 강우강도의 증가로 대표되며 국립기상연구소 (2011)에 의하면 현재와 같은 탄소배출이 줄어들지 않는다면 2050년 우리나라의 강수량은 16% 증가하고 일 강수량 80mm 이상의 호우발생일수가 60%이상 증가될 것으로 전망하고 있다. 이와 같이 기후변화로 인해 발생빈도가 증가추세인 집중호우는 산사태와 같은 2차 피해를 유발하고 있으며 강우의 예측 및 실시간 모니터링은 재해 예방 및 수자원관리, 국가 방재역량 강화를 위해 연구되어야 할 분야이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 광역적 강우자료로서 미국 NOAA의 기후예측센터에 의해 제공되는 글로벌 강우량 CMORPH와 지상 강우자료와의 비교 분석을 통해 CMORPH 자료의 수자원 분야 이용 가능성을 분석하는 것을 목적으로 한다. CMORPH는 고급의 시공간적 해상도를 가지며, 단기간의 기후 예측센터 모핑(morphing) 방법에 의한 "CMORPH"라 불리우는 강우평가 알고리즘과 새로운 위성 기반 기술을 이용하여 개발되었다. CMORPH 기술에 의해 생산된 글로벌 강우 추정은 저궤도 위성 수동 마이크로파(passive microwaves, PMW) 관측으로부터 유도되고, 그 형태는 전적으로 정지궤도 위성(geostationary satellite) 적외선(IR) 데이터로부터 얻어진 공간적 전파 정보 (모션 벡터)를 통해 전송된다. 이 기술은 PMW 데이터로부터 유도된 비교적 고품질의 추정 강우를 전파하기 위하여 30분 간격의 정지궤도 위성 IR 이미지로부터 파생된 모션 벡터를 이용하며, 때때로 레이더보다 더 나은 성능을 보이기도 하고(Apip 등 2010), CMORPH의 지역적 제공범위는 $60^{\circ}N-60^{\circ}S$이고 2002년 12월부터 제공하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 CMORPH 자료 중 2002년 12월부터 제공하는 3시간 누가강우 자료를 수집하였고, 자료의 정확도 분석은 갑천유역을 대상으로 하였다. 3시간 누가 강우량을 1일 누가 강우량으로 변환한 후 금강홍수통제소의 갑천 유역 강우관측소 5곳의 강우자료를 티센 평균에 의한 유역 평균강우자료와 비교하였다. 2009년 1년간의 지상관측자료와 CMORPH자료를 비교한 결과 가 0.34 정도로 분석되었으나 추가 연구를 통해 마이크로 웨이브 강우자료 및 3시간 강우자료, 그리고 30분 강우자료의 분석을 통해 다양한 형태의 강우자료 확보뿐만 아니라 광역적인 강우특성 분석도 가능하여 연구 결과의 동아시아지역 등으로 확대 적용할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
