The purpose of this study is multi-faceted. Firstly, it is to examine the perceived differences in novelty experience, psychic distance, and satisfaction among Japanese, Chinese, and American tourists visiting Korea. Secondly, it is to investigate the effects of novelty experience on their overall satisfaction in Korea. Lastly, this study attempts to examine the role of psychic distance on the level of perceived novelty experience in Korea. A survey was conducted to 307 international tourists departing Korea at the In-Cheon International Airport. The results show that there is a significant difference in the perceived psychic distance, novelty experience, and overall satisfaction in Korea among Japanese, Chinese, and American tourists. Also, there is a significant effect of novelty experience on tourist overall satisfaction. The results further reveal that the degree of psychic distance is a significant determinant of the perceived novelty experience, which supports the effectiveness of psychic distance concept in predicting the novelty experience. The results of this study make a significant contribution to advancing our understanding of tourist behavior through the re-constructed concept of novelty.

Facing the 21th century, the cultural era, a lot of people show much more concern on cultural products than before. These cultural products can be regarded as our national countenance because they might contain the national tradition and spirit. So, it is quite obvious that the image of a product will be directly related to the national image. The current problems of developing cultural products in Korea are underdeveloped product design and technique, and widespread of poor quality products. Fist of all, it needs to develop competitive designs by reflecting cultural aspects in each product, based on the specialized research and information on our culture. And it is important to invest in developing materials and skills for mass production and the improvement that can excel the past. Also, there are needs to reform the sales structure to connect producers and consumers directly, not through the wholesalers who cause the price rising. Finally, museums as well as government should cope with this cultural competitive era actively by giving the continuous cultural education and inducing the participation from citizens.

인류의 우주공간에 대한 영향력이 확대됨에 따라, 우주공간에서의 인위적인 활동에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 모든 종류의 상황들에 대한 이해가 최근 전 세계적으로 매우 중요한 이슈로 부상하고 있다. 이를 Space Situational Awareness (SSA)라고 하는데, 특히 근지구공간에서의 인위적, 자연적 우주물체는, 우주발사체의 지속적인 증가와 이리듐-코스모스 위성의 상호 충돌 및 중국 폐기위성 파괴 등과 같은 사건으로 기하급수적으로 증가된 우주물체의 개체수로 인해 대한민국 국적의 모든 위성에도 실제적인 위협 요인으로 대두되고 있다. 이에 기초 기술연구회와 한국천문연구원은 이러한 위협을 국가적으로 해결해야할 과제(National Agenda Project) 중의 하나로 정의하고, 이를 해결하기 위해 우주물체 전자광학 감시체계 기술개발(OWL; Optical Wide-field patroL) 사업을 시작하였다. 이 사업의 목표는 자국위성에 대한 궤도력을 독자적으로 유지할 수 있는 시스템을 개발하는 것이며, 이를 위하여 2011년부터 6년 동안 총 5개소의 해외 관측소에 50cm급 광시야 망원경을 각각 설치하여 자국위성을 자동으로 상시관측하고, 관측된 자료를 이용한 궤도계산을 통하여 독자적으로 궤도력을 유지할 계획이다. 또한, 우주잔해물 감시는 하나의 국가에서 단독으로 할 수 없기 때문에 2m급 우주물체 감시망원경을 개발하여 국제공동으로 진행할 계획이다. 사업 첫해인 2011년 4월 시스템 요구사항 분석을 완료하였고 10월말 시스템 기본설계를 완료할 예정이다. 최종 완성될 소구경 광시야 망원경과 우주물체 감시망원경의 주요 임무는 우주물체 관측이지만, 향후 광시야를 이용한 다양한 탐사천문학에도 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다. 한편, 자국위성에 대한 충돌 위험도 분석 및 회피기동에 관한 연구는 한국항공우주연구원이 이 사업의 협동연구로 참여하고 있다.

기업활동의 범세계화(汎世界化), WTO 출범 등으로 세계경제(世界經濟)의 통합(統合)과 무국경화(無國境化)가 진행되고 있다. 이에 따라 자본 고급인력 등 국제이동성(國際移動性)이 높은 자원들이 유동화(流動化)할 것이고, 그 결과 토지, 사회간접자본, 미숙련 노동력, '경기규칙', 사회 전반적인 과학기술수준, 문화 등 국제이동성(國際移動性)이 낮은 광의(廣義)의 생산요소(生産要素)들이 한 나라의 경제적 특성을 결정하고 경제 기반을 이룰 것이다. 무국경시대(無國境時代)에는 자원배분뿐 아니라 자원유치(資源幽致)가 한 나라의 경제성과에 큰 영향을 미칠 것이며, 따라서 자원유치가 경제운영의 중요한 과제로 등장할 것으로 예상된다. 자원의 국제적(國際的) 유동화(流動化)는 국제이동성(國際移動性)이 높은 생산요소들이 국제이동성이 낮은 생산요소들을 찾아 경제활동의 근거지를 선택하는 것이므로, 무국경시대(無國境時代)에는 저이동성(低移動性) 생산요소(生産要素)들의 양적(量的) 확충(擴充)및 질적(質的) 수준(水準) 제고(提高)를 통한 자원유치(資源誘致)의 가능성이 커지며, 따라서 일부 첨단기술산업의 육성보다는 전반적인 과학기술(科學技術) 수준(水準) 제고(提高)가, 소수의 고급인력 확보보다는 다수(多數) 미숙련(未熟練) 인력(人力)의 질적(質的) 수준(水準) 제고(提高)가 경제성과를 높이는 데 상대적으로 더 중요해진다. 또한 경제적(經濟的) 무국경화(無國境化)는 국적에 관한 속인주의(屬人主義)의 퇴조와 속지주의(屬地主義)의 보편화, 한 나라 국경 안에 상이한 특성을 가진 지방경제(地方經濟)들의 부상, 국내 산업들 사이의 산업연관관계(産業聯關關係) 약화(弱化) 등의 변화를 수반할 것으로 예상된다. 이같은 변화로 개방주의(開放主義) 및 무차별주의(無差別主義)의 확대(擴大)가 불가피하게 되고 특정 산업에 대한 정부지원 및 보호의 근거가 약화되는 반면, 자원배분의 참고단위로서 개별(個別) 경제주체(經濟主體)들의 중요성이 높아지며 그만큼 시장경쟁을 지배하는 '경기규칙(鏡技規則)'의 올바른 정립이 중요해진다. 그러므로 정부는 자원배분에 대한 개업을 축소하고, 저이동성(低移動性) 생산요소(生産要素)들의 양적 질적 수준 제고, 특히 '경기규칙(競技規則)'의 공정성(公正性) 및 투명성(透明性)을 높여야 한다. 즉 정부가 폐쇄성 높은 경제의 지배인으로부터 개방(開放)된 시장경제(市場經濟)의 후견인으로 바뀌어야 한다. 이것이, 시장질서(市場秩序)가 우리를 먹여 살리는 손이라는 인식이나 국제분업(國際分業)이 살 길이라는 확신이 부족한 우리 사회에 무국경시대(無國境時代)가 던지는 어려운 도전(挑戰)이다.

In West Africa and Southeast Asia including Somalia, piracy attacks still take place that threaten safety of ships and the lifes of seafarers. In order to protect Korean flag ships and the seafarers on board from piracy attacks, the government of the Republic of Korea established the Act to Prevent Piracy Attacks on International Ships on Dec. 27, 2016. This act legally provides for the establishment of Maritime Security Operatives (MSO) on board ships navigating high risk areas to ensure security. Furthermore, mandated training for MSOs is required to prepare them to carry out their duties effectively. In this paper, a new training course for MSOs according to domestic law is suggested through analysis of IMO documents and the MSO training provided by foreign nations.

With increase of Korean economy scale and globalization, permanent alien residents in Korea are increasing day by day. Living in Korea, they maintain their original nationalities, but their life in Korea is greatly affected by political decision made by Korea. It has been taken for granted that foreigners's suffrage were not recognized due to national sovereignty. The claim that foreigners should not be allowed to participate in government has constantly been met with counterargument on the basis of instability of sovereignty principle, trends of advanced countries, intrinsic differences between federal and regional governments, or actual state of foreigners. It is unreasonable to deal with foreigners' suffrage and eligibility for election differently in that the current public offices election law does not allow foreigners to be eligible for election without any special reason while allowing foreigners to vote in the local election. It is discrimination against foreigners not to allow foreigners to be eligible for election when there is no rationale to differently deal with foreigners' suffrage and eligibility for election. This paper deals with constitutional argument regarding foreigners' electoral eligibility, takes a look at legislative cases of Japanese and European countries, and examines possibilities of including foreigners' eligibility for election in our public offices election law.
