임진강은 북한지역이 유역면적의 60%에 달하고 2000년대 초부터 북한의 4월5일 댐과 황강댐과 남한의 군남과 한탄강 홍수조절지로 인해 물의 흐름과 강의 모습이 급격히 변화하고 있다. 기후변화 측면에서도 한반도 중부지역으로 기온 증가와 계절별 유출량, 특히 봄철의 유출량 감소가 전망되는 지역이다. 임진강 본류 유량 감소는 북한 측의 영향은 자료가 전무하고, 남측에서는 횡산, 군남 등 일부 수위표 자료만이 가용한 수준이다. 현재까지 자료로 보면, 2014년에 연강수량이 예년의 50% 수준이었던 점이 본류 유량 감소의 주 원인이었고, 다른 원인은 군남 홍수조절지의 저류 수준이 그 직하류 유량 변동에 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 유량감소 영향은 2014년 장단반도 일대 파주지역에서 가장 극심하였고, 유량 감소와 연동된 염도 변동이 가중되면서 모내기철 농업용수 공급이 어려웠다. 유량 감소 피해는 농업보다 어업분야에서 그 체감 정도가 극심하였고 경제적 피해도 심각했다. 체감하는 주민들 대부분은 댐 건설 이후 하도와 수변의 침식과 퇴적 등 하천의 역동성이 변화함을 느끼고 있고, 그로 인해 어업과 수생태계가 지속가능성하지 않을 거라는 우려가 팽배해 지고 있다. 지금까지 파악된 임진강 유량 감소의 수준과 피해 정도가 앞으로 어떻게 변화될지, 그 수준, 심각성, 경제적 피해와 환경적 가치나 서비스 제약 등에 대해 면밀한 검토가 필요하다. 하천의 흐름이 단절, 변경되어 야기되는 직간접적 변화를 인정하고 이를 지속가능하게 보완할 방안이 논의되어야 할 시점이다. 무엇보다 수환경과 수생태계의 변화 정도를 파악하기 위한 장기모니터링이 절실하고 그 결과의 해석을 통해 새로운 대안을 모색해 나가야 할 것이다. 2014년 혹은 그보다 심각한 강우량 감소 재현을 대비하고, 기후변화와 남북한 문제까지를 고려한 임진강 관리가 필요하다. 단기적으로는 농업용수 공급을 위해 하천 본류는 물론 가용한 저수지, 지하수 등 대체 자원을 적극 활용하는 등 비상급수체계를 운영해야 한다. 그러나 기후변화 등 장래 여건이 수량 압박을 가중할 것을 고려, 유역의 용수수급과 변동성에 대한 재평가가 시급하다. 보다 면밀한 평가는 횡산, 군남 등을 포함한 남북유역의 상황을 장기모니터링하고 북한 지역의 기초 자료 확보를 위한 여건을 마련해야 한다. 보다 합리적 분석을 위해 임진강 수계와 유역을 국가하천에서 국제하천으로 격상하는 방안이나, DMZ와 연계한 남북공유 하천으로 관리하는 등의 새로운 대안이 절실하다. 국제수로협약 등을 통해 접경지역의 하천관리를 공동으로 하고 있는 외국 사례의 시사점도 접목해 볼 필요가 있다. 무엇보다 임진강 관리를 좀 더 제도적 틀안에서 확립해 가기 위해 지역정부로서의 경기도, 중앙정부 주체로 국토부와 통일부가 보다 협력적인 관계 정립과 역할 배분을 논의해야 한다.

한국은 제1, 2차 경제개발 5개년계획으로 산업화와 경제 발전을 이룩하면서 심각해진 도 ${\cdot}$ 농격차의 해소를 위해 1970년대 초부터 농촌지역사회 개발을 위한 새마을 운동을 전개하였다. 새마을운동은 근면, 자조, 협동을 기본 정신으로 한 잘살기 운동으로 1970년 당시 대통령이 농촌개발에 대한 강한 욕구와 집념을 천명하면서 농촌 새마을운동에서 시작되었다. 자원이 부족하고 농촌의 사정은 더욱 열악하여 국민의 70%를 차지하는 농민의 상당수가 끼니를 걱정해야 했으며, 도 ${\cdot}$ 농간의 격차는 벌어져 도시로 인구가 몰려들고 사회는 불안정한 상태에서 농촌지역사회의 개발 없이는 나라의 발전도 안정도 기대하기 어려운 실정이었다. 농촌 개발을 위한 환경개선과 소득증대 사업에 주력했던 새마을 운동이 성공할 수 있었던 요인을 정부의 관심과 지원도 있었지만, 새마을 교육을 이수한 새마을 지도자들, 그 지도자들과 함께 근면, 자조, 협동을 실천했던 마을 사람들, 지역사회 주민들의 공동 노력이었다. 이 논문에서는 농촌에서 시작된 새마을운동이 도시의 직장, 공장 새마을운동으로 번져 범국민적 운동으로 나라 근대화의 원동력이 되었으며 성공할 수 있었던 요인들을 살펴보고 국제협력 사업의 일환으로 개발도상국의 농촌 지역사회 발전을 위해 새마을운동 경험을 공유할 수 있는 방안에 관하여 제언하고자 하였다.

An increase of airplanes and military aircraft operation lead to significant demanding of residential claims by people who live in nearby airports and military bases due to noise, vibration and residential damages caused by aircraft operations. In recent years, a plaintiff has filed a lawsuit against the defendant, claiming the prohibition of using claimant's possessed land as a helicopter landing route, and the Daejeon High Court was in favour of the plaintiff. Although the Supreme Court later dismissed the Appeal Court decision, it is necessary to discuss the case of setting flight prohibited zone. In Japan, the airport noise lawsuits have been filed for a long time, mainly by environmental groups. Unlike the case that admitted residential damages caused by noise, the Yokohama District Court for the first time sentenced a judgment of the prohibition of the flight. This ruling was partially changed in the appellate court and some of the plaintiffs' claims were adopted. However, the Supreme Court of Japan finally rejected such decision from appeal and district courts. Atsugi Base is an army camp jointly used by the United States and Japan, and residents, live nearby, claim that they are suffering from mental damage such as physical abnormal, insomnia, and life disturbance because of the noise from airplane taking off and landing in the base. An administrative lawsuit was therefore preceded in the Yokohama District Court. The plaintiff requested the Japan Self-Defense Forces(hereinafter 'JSDF') and US military aircraft to be prohibited operating. The court firstly held the limitation of the flight operation from 10pm to 6am, except unavoidable circumstance. The case was appealed. The Supreme Court of Japan dismissed the original judgment on the flight claim of the JSDF aircraft, canceled the first judgment, and rejected the claims of the plaintiffs. The Supreme Court ruled that the exercise of the authority of the Minister of Defense is reasonable since the JSDF aircraft is operating public flight high zone. The court agreed that noise pollution is such an issue for the residents but there are countermeasures which can be taken by concerned parties. In Korea, the residents can sue against the United States or the Republic of Korea or the Ministry of National Defense for the prohibition of the aircraft operation. However, if they claim against US government regarding to the US military flight operation, the Korean court must issue a dismissal order as its jurisdiction exemption. According to the current case law, the Korean courts do not allow a claimant to appeal for the performance of obligation or an anonymous appeal against the Minister of National Defense for prohibiting flight of military aircraft. However, if the Administrative Appeals Act is amended and obligatory performance litigation is introduced, the claim to the Minister of National Defense can be permitted. In order to judge administrative case of the military aircraft operation, trade-off between interests of the residents and difficulties of the third parties should be measured in the court, if the Act is changed and such claims are granted. In this connection, the Minister of National Defense ought to prove and illuminate the profit from the military aircraft operation and it should be significantly greater than the benefits which neighboring residents will get from the prohibiting flight of military aircraft.

The soils and plants were sampled from 26 sites of Deogpyeongri, Goisangun, which had been found to be one of the uranium deposit areas. Uranium levels of the samples were determined and the amount of uranium intake by the residents through the food-chains was estimated. The average uranium concentration of Deogpyeongri soils was 15.5ppm with a range of from 4.9 to 43.6ppm showing rather higher values than those of control area, Yangjugun and Icheongun, Gyeonggi-do. The average uranium content of the plant samples from Deogpyeongri was 0.69ppm, about twice the uranium concentration of the control samples. The daily intake of uranium by an adult lived on the agricultural food stuffs produced in Deogpyeongri, was estimated to be about $247{\mu}g$, eqivalent to $0.83{\times}10^{-4}{\mu}Ci$, which is much higher activity compared to the daily intake of uranium by New York citizen, $1.3{\mu}g$. However the calculated uranium level accumulated in the human body of Deogpyeong area was $2.03{\times}10^{-4}{\mu}Ci$ which is still lower than $0.2{\mu}Ci$, the maximum permissible burden in total body recommended by the ICRP.

Along with changes in the industrial structure, revitalizing decrepit or abandoned industrial-age infrastructures are actively under way on a global scale. This study was motivated by an interest in investigating currently idle industrial infrastructures and revitalizing the abandoned passenger ferry terminal in Geoje's Jangseungpo and surrounding areas. The main aims of this study were to examine regional features for the purpose of establishing urban renewal plans and field opinions of the local residents on how to proceed with the restoration of the passenger ferry terminal. To this end, this paper looked into previous case studies of converting decrepit industrial infrastructures into new cultural venues, depending on each region's special circumstances. This paper's findings are as follows: First, as a result of this investigation, the author found that in all cases in Korea and elsewhere revitalization focused on creating modern cultural spaces appropriate for the region while retaining its traditional value. At the same time, they sought sustainable cultural and economic revival. Second, as a result of the investigation on Geoje City's local characteristics, the author found that the surrounding areas' commercial districts were depressed after the terminal's closure. At the time of the investigation, the city government was trying to reopen the terminal as a major port offering multiple international ferry destinations while attracting tourists. Third, as a result of the surveys on the local residents, it was found that more than half of the residents were in agreement with the city government's plan to reopen the terminal and expressed their wishes that they want the terminal to have other uses such as cultural venues. Based on these research results, the author makes proposals, including expanding the passenger ferry terminal and offering cultural spaces within and near the terminal, based on the local residents' opinions and in reflection of local circumstances. As part of this effort, the author also recommends a new brand name and design plan for the new passenger ferry terminal so that Geoje City can improve its local community value.

In the 2007 recommendation, the ICRP evolves from the previous process-based system of practices and intervention to the system based on the characteristics of radiation exposure situation. In addition, ICRP recommends the application of source-related dose constraints under the planned exposure situation as a tool for the optimization of protection to workers and the member of public. In this study, the analysis of radioactive effluents from Korean nuclear power plants and the public dose assessment were conducted in reference with the use of dose constraints. Finally, the measure to implement the dose constraints for the member of public was suggested taking into account multi-unit reactors operating at a single site in Korea.

The changes of forest degradation in North Korea have closely been related to political, economic and social conditions at all different times. The deforestation by local people for their livelihood has been accelerated when the recession has been worsened due to the 1990's collapse of socialism and the years of natural disasters, and the fall of the centralized and planned economy system. The serious recession in the 1990's has brought many changes in the North Korean society since the 2000's. Not only the underground economy, but also the market in which personal trades are occurred have been expanded as the distribution system of the planned economy system had fallen. In addition, even many state institutions have also increased timber harvest for export to acquire insufficient foreign currency. Eventually, North Korea felt the limits of utilization of forest resources under socialism then started to seek measures to restore devastated forest, while realizing the need of support from the international society. Therefore, some NGOs of South Korea started to give financial support on building tree nurseries in which seedlings for planting are produced to help the rehabilitation of the degraded forests in North Korea. Therefore, Planning of the basic directions for forest rehabilitation programs considering to economic and social conditions of North Korea are needed based on the successful rehabilitation experience of South Korea in the 1970's. First of all, relationships which was built after collapse of centrally planned economy between districts, businesses and workers must be consider to rehabilitate forests in North Korea. Secondly, due to the nature of forest rehabilitation projects this is very needs voluntary participation of resident for a long time, and then forest rehabilitation projects can create jobs for local resident, they can obtain continuous income on the forest rehabilitation projects field in order to promote resident's work in forest rehabilitation projects. Thirdly, the rate dependence on forests of the residents living must keep the level down by rural development projects going side by side with forest rehabilitation projects. Fourthly, use of exsisting forest management system in North Korea is also needed to ensure administrative power and labor for grand scale plantations in a short period of time. Meanwhile after the success of Forest Rehabilitation, it is very important to improve exsisting forest management system.

Many records and documents are produced during the process of functions of local councils such as resolution, monitoring and balancing function, representation for the residents, Such records of local councils have importance in terms of objective basis and standards for local policy building and making. The most essential records among these are those of local councils assembly. The fundamental function of local councils is the assembly of individual members of the council and standing committees. For this, the author firstly reviewed the current management system of local council assembly records focusing on Daejeon Yuseonggu Council and conducted researches and interviews with the officers responsible for record keeping. And finally, the author analyzed such researches and findings. From this analysis, the author discovered the problems in the management of record keeping and suggested the improvement for the systematic management firstly in terms of institutional aspects and secondly in terms of the stages of record keeping and management based on ISO 15489, the international standard for information and documentation, records management.

The purpose of the this study was to assess the morbidity pattern of urban residents in the poor area by health screening for the community diagnosis. The items of health screening were history taking and physical examination by medical doctor and hearing test, check blood pressure, test for hematocrit, liver function(sGOT, sGPT), urine sugar and protein, and chest X-ray. The examinee in health screening were 437 persons and they occupied 16.9% of total residents in the poor area. Male examinee were 129 persons(9.9% of total residents) and female examinee were 308 persons(23.9% of total residents). Age group of above sixty years old, 42.0% of total residents in the poor area were participated, but only 5.9% were participated in age group of 10 to 19 years old. Among the 437 examinee, 191 persons(43.7%) had one or more abnormal findings in health screening. In male 38.7% had abnormal findings, and some what lower than that of female(45.8%). Age group of above sixty years had most high rate of abnormal findings(69.8%), in contrast to age group of 10 to 19 years old (10.9%). Diseases of the digestive system was the most common and which occupies 23.7% of total abnormal findings. And diseases of the circulatory system occupied 19.7%. Low hematocrit(14.6% of total participants of 437 persons) occupies the most common abnormal findings for screening test(hematocrit, blood pressure, hearing test, sGOT/sGPT, urine protein and urine sugar, chest X-ray) and high blood pressure(10.1%) occupied second, third; hearing impairment (5.5%), fourth ; abnormal liver function (4.1%), fifth ; sugar in urine (2.3%), sixth ; protein in urine(1.4%) and lastly abnormal chest X-ray (0.9%). The positive rate of abnormal findings in health screening was very high compared with morbidity rate by health interview. It is supposed that some portion of this high rate is by selection bias in examinee in health screening specially high participating rate in older age, and the other portion is due to the low socioecomic status and bad environment of the residents of the poor area. These findings will be good information for the research and development of health care system in the urban poor area.

This study speculated on a continuous issue of North Korean defectors and strategies to improve North Korean human rights. North Korean defectors have immigrated to South Korea continuously since the late 1990s. Their immigration was motivated by low financial status in the harsh marching period of North Korea until the mid-1990s. However, the defection motives changed like this: planned defection, family-based group defection and future-oriented defection. The North Korean defectors had had severe human rights abuses as illegal immigrants in the blind spots of human rights of China and the third nations until they were admitted to South Korea after defection. Although South Korea tried to help them consistently both in public and private ways, it was not satisfactory. Therefore, the government and private sectors should pay more consistent attention to the human rights issue. As the National Assembly passed the North Korean Human Rights Act on March 2016, the government should recognize the issue of North Korean defectors as that of universal value and a national issue, and cooperate each other nationally and internationally in diverse ways.
