The Korean wave refers to the spread of Korean popular culture from China to all over the world. The Korean wave has been improving the national image and creating a new brand value for Korea as a symbolic soft power. Its spread has been operating as a kind of energy that is fueling national competition. The Korean wave creates a new type of tour and increases tourists' intention to visit special places revealed indirectly through mass media. People can vary highly in terms of awareness, attitude and behavioral pattern according to the degree of care for and interest in something. This is called involvement. Three hypotheses were established to study the effect of the Korean wave in terms of involvement. First of all, it confirms whether the Korean wave involvement affects national image and image as a tourist destination. Second, it confirms whether national image affects Korea's image as a tourist destination. Third, it confirms whether the Korean wave involvement affects intention to visit Korea. The certification results of these hypotheses confirm that the Korean wave affects national image, Korea's image as a tourist destination, and intention to visit Korea. The national image also partly affects its image as a tourist destination.

Until now, many researches related to Korean Wave were focused on China and Japan. So, this study extend a scope of research about Korean Wave to Uzbekistan. Especially, we focused on relationship of perception on Korean Wave, self-congruity, attitude on Korean entertainment products and attitude on Korean consumer products. In conclusion, the 6 hypotheses were all supported. It was verified that self-congruity and attitude on Korean entertainment products is the very important factor. That is to say, we find that these two factors have a mediating role between perception on Korean Wave and attitude on Korean consumer products. This study's results are can use to raise Korean wave storm in Uzbekistan. Also, companies can use to improve its sale through a our study's results.

This study attempted to empirically verify the possibility of K-content for Chinese people who have recently slowed down due to restriction of movement and political and diplomatic conflicts, although it is a very meaningful market for Korea's content industry and tourism industry. As a result of the study, each item of K-content experience, national image, tourism attitude, and visit intention was derived as one factor, and only the national image factor was derived as two factors: 'functional image' and 'cultural image'. As a result of examining the influence relationship between them established based on previous studies focusing on the derived factors, all five research hypotheses were adopted. K-content experience was found to have a significant influence on both factors of the national image. It was found that it had a greater influence on cultural image factors than functional image factors, cultural image factors were found to have a greater influence on tourism attitudes, K-content experiences had a significant effect on tourism attitudes, and tourism attitudes had a significant effect on visit intentions. Based on the results of this study, it was once again confirmed that the national image even comtually bees an important factor for linking to practical tourism behavior, and in this respect, "culture" is an important key factor that can lead to practical tourism and visits. Previous national images indicate that if the functional aspect of the country was more emphasized, it is now necessary to focus more on the importance of culture than on the functional aspect. As the K-content experience has a significant effect on tourism attitude, it can have a positive effect on the formation of a positive tourism attitude that can lead to actual tourism behavior, so various efforts will be needed to form an active tourism attitude using K-content in the future. As the content and target scope of K-content are expanded and diversified, specific strategies for each sub-market using cultural contents in various fields should be established and implemented.

This study examines the relationships between the Theory of Planned Behavior(TPB) and entrepreneurial intention. Based on the TPB, we compare the on the effects of TPB on the Entrepreneurial intention with nationality and majors among university students in Korea and China. For empirical analysis, we collected total 359 survey data from university students majoring in Computer Science and Business area both in Korea and China. Empirical results show that personal attitude and perceived behavior control, except subjective norms, have positive relationships with Entrepreneurial Intention. These relationships have differ according to nationality and majors. China students have shown positive effect of personal attitude, without significants relationship with perceived behavior control. For students majoring in Computer Science have shown positive relationships with personal attitude and subjective norms, differing from those majoring in Business with personal attitude and perceived behavior control variables. This study suggests implications for entrepreneurial intention researches.

The purpose of this study is to explore Women University students' supporting awareness, knowledge and attitude toward the elderly. After obtaining the participants' consent form, survey was performed with structured questionnaire about characteristics, supporting awareness, knowledge and attitude toward the elderly. Collected data were analyzed with SPSS 13.0 program, which was used for frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA and Pearson correlation coefficients. The result of this study were as follows. 1) Supporting awareness of participants was 115.50±13.19. Participants' knowledge was 10.21±2.90 and attitude was 84.19±12.19. 2) More knowledge and more positive attitude toward elderly were significant related to higher supporting awareness. 3) Supporting awareness of participants was significantly different by religion, monthly pocket money, religious service, supporting parents in the future, living with parents-in-law, though of ideal support system, father-grandmother(paternal) relationship, mother-grandfather(paternal) relationship, mother-grandmother(paternal) relationship and mother-grandfather(maternal). The finding of this study gives useful information for developing an educational management program for women.

The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between national reputation, culture and communication based on the intercultural communication theory. The 18 foreign residents in Korea were interviewed. The analysis of in-depth interview reveals that culture and communication are very important factors in establishing the national reputation. The qualitative research showcases that the cultural acculturation types(separation, integration, and assimilation) are grouped as foreigners adapt and acculturate to the residence. Especially, the assimilation is very essential type in having the in-group expectancy and the loyalty to Korea. The results reveal that a higher level of heterogeneity of a personal network('Korean in-group network') is associated with a higher level of reputation and loyalty to Korea. This suggests that having outgroup members in individuals' personal networks facilitates outgroup communication competence and loyalty to Korea.

필자는 최근 국가인권위원회가 의뢰한 '에이즈 감염인들의 인권실태 조사연구'에 참여하며 우리사회에서 에이즈 감염인들이 인권의 사각지대에 방치되고 있음을 극명하게 알 수 있었다. 에이즈 바이러스 그 자체보다 사회의 멸시와 차별이 당사자들에게는 더욱 치명적이며, 이 질병을 마음의 병으로 앓게 하고 있는 것이다. 이러한 후진적인 상황에서 벗어나기 위해서는 에이즈에 대해 객관적이고 과학적인 사실을 적극적으로 알리고, 감염인들이 겪고 이는 사회 곳곳에서의 부당한 처우를 꾸준하게 고발하여, 에이즈에 대한 인식과 사회적 태도 변화를 유도해야 한다. 에이즈에 대한 과도한 공포는 감염인과 비감염인 모두에게 큰 폐해를 끼진 다는 점에서 최우선적으로 개선되어야 할 과제이다.

The purpose of this study is to compare the landslide prediction models quantitatively using prediction rate curve. A case study from the Jangheung area was used to illustrate the methodologies. The landslide locations were detected from remote sensing data and field survey, and geospatial information related to landslide occurrences were built as a spatial database in GIS. As prediction models, joint conditional probability model and certainty factor model were applied. For cross-validation approach, landslide locations were partitioned into two groups randomly. One group was used to construct prediction models, and the other group was used to validate prediction results. From the cross-validation analysis, it is possible to compare two models to each other in this study area. It is expected that these approaches will be used effectively to compare other prediction models and to analyze the causal factors in prediction models.
