Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between external medical service use and the characteristics of Chungcheongnam-do patients. We aimed to provide evidence of external medical service use enhance the healthcare delivery system in Chungcheongnam-do. Methods: We used the Health Insurance Cohort DB 2.0 of 2016-2019, and 2,570,439 patients were included in the study. Multivariate logistic regression and multinomial logistic regression were used to identify the association between external medical service use and each patient characteristic. Generalized linear model was used to identify the association between medical costs and external medical service use area. Results: During the study period, 32.2% of inpatients and 12.5% of outpatients had external medical service use in Chungcheongnam-do. In comparison to patients living in Cheonan and Asan, the odds ratio (OR) for external medical services use was higher across all regions. Specifically, hospitalized patients from Gyeryong, Nonsan, and Geumsan (OR, 116.817) and Gongju, Buyeo, and Cheongyang (OR, 72.931) demonstrated extremely high likelihood of external medical service use in the Daejeon area. Furthermore, compared to medical expenses incurred within Chungcheongnam-do, patients with external medical service use in the capitol area (outpatient=17.01%, inpatients=22.11%) and Daejeon area (outpatient=16.63%, inpatients=15.41%) spent more on healthcare services. Conclusion: This study found the evidence of external medical service use among Chungcheongnam-do patients. Further study should be conducted taking into account variables including satisfaction of local medical services, different types of patient diseases, and others. The study's findings may serve as a foundation for policy proposals aimed at ensuring the financial stability of our health insurance system, ensuring the efficient delivery of medical care, and localization of medical care.

Emerging trends regarding USFK(United States Forces, Korea)'s EC(Engineering/Construction) market include: (1) introduction of MATOC(Multiple Award Task Order Contract); (2) increase of DB(Design-Build) contract; and (3) encroachment of large US-origin private EC firms upon Korea. This study analyzes the change of USFK's EC market with focus on the change of construction management actors for USFK's EC projects. Specifically, USFK's EC projects have been managed by FED(Far East District). Recently, however, the large US private EC companies substitute the role previously taken by FED. This phenomenon is accelerated by the business chances in Korea due to LPP(Land Partnership Plan) and intentions of US Government to save military construction costs by means of utilizing US private EC companies. The large US EC firms entering into Korea are business opportunities as well as challenges to Korean EC firms, which are contracting USFK's EC projects. This study concludes that, through teaming joint venture with the large US EC firms, the market changes can be opportunities to acquire foreign market information and learn advanced construction management skill from them.

환경모델링 기법은 비선형 오염유출현상을 구조화하여 배출특성 규명 및 정책대안의 영향예측 도구로서 활용도가 증가하고 있다. 반면 복잡한 입력 파라미터의 구성은 모형운영에 있어 비정량적 수치를 적용할 수 있는 가능성을 내포하고 있다. 이러한 한계성을 극복하기 위해 최근 들어 GIS와 정보기술의 연계를 통한 자료관리 및 모형 매개변수 산출을 위한 연구들이 활발히 진행 중에 있다. GIS-모델링 분야의 기술적 성장에도 불구하고 정보구축의 시점, 주기, 구축 형태 등의 통일화가 이루어지지 않았다. 따라서 BASINS과 같은 기 구축된 정보 분석체계를 사용하고자 할 때 단위사업별로 구축된 공간정보의 구조해석을 다시 수행해야 하는 문제를 지니고 있다. 이는 구축된 정보를 사용하여 해석하고자 하는 주체가 분명하지 않고, 분석모델에서 요구하는 입력 자료의 구조를 명확하게 해석할 수 있는 정보기술과 분석기술의 연계부족으로 발생한 문제이다. 이에 본 연구의 목적은 NGIS사업을 통해 축척된 지형공간 데이터베이스와 GIS의 공간분석기능을 연계하여 유역 오염원 기상 공간정보의 관리, 유역 오염유출모형인 HSPF(Hydrologic Simulation Program-Fortran)의 운영정보 생성을 지원하는 지능형 정보관리시스템을 개발하는데 있다. 주 연구내용은 시스템 분석 및 설계, 기초 데이터 수집과 DB 구축, 지형 매개변수 산정을 위한 GIS-HSPF의 통합 인터페이스 구축이다. 개발된 KBASIN-HSPF는 EPA에 의해 개발된 BASIN의 유역분할, 하천망생성, 지형특성계수 산정 기능과 함께 우리나라의 지형.오염원.기상정보의 저장구조를 고려한 데이터 모델링, Tissen망에 준한 강우자료 생성 그리고 HSPF 모형운영정보 산정 및 전환기능을 포함하고 있다. KBASIN-HSPF는 유역기반 점.비점오염원 정보를 통합 관리하고자 하는 오염총량관리제의 기술적 정보관리 환경으로 활용가능하며, 기존의 오염유출모델링을 위해 자료준비부터 정보연계, 모형운영까지 분산된 환경에서 수행되었던 것을 통합환경하에서 진행함으로써 정보의 질적보장과 정보전환의 표준화방안을 제시하는 정보분석시스템이다.

We analyzed the characteristics of the physicians preferred information sources and barriers through in-depth interviews. Information searches for patient treatment were subdivided into deciding patient treatment methods, understanding the latest treatment trends, and preparing presentation materials for conferences. The variables that affected the search behaviors were identified as being background knowledge on the topic, clinical experience, job title, search skills, user training, and familiarity with the library homepage. PubMed was the most preferred choice because of users' familiarity, reliability, and the vastness of information; Google was also used frequently for easy access and fast search result. The accuracy and the recentness of information were the most significant criteria. Easy interface and convenient access were also considered important due to physicians' time constraints. Searching obstacles were divided into difficulty of searching system, unfamiliar term, too vast resources, difficulty to get fulltext articles and complex advanced search features. The results of this study can be utilized as a basis for improving information service of library and curriculum development for physicians.

Many kinds of carbon emission monitoring systems or integrated systems have been developed so far. However, despite of the development of related techniques, they tend to be lack of statistic processing functions for feedback and policy-making data for users. In this study, a new CEMS (Carbon Emission Monitoring System) has been suggested and implemented in Sejong City, Korea. This system adapted automatic remote reading system from the site management agency as data hub to collect the electricity, gas and water usage of each household. The CEMS is consisted of 6 parts; carbon emission measurement, carbon emission standard setup and management, statistic analysis and the incentives. CEMS is distinguished with other systems for its UIs for users and the administrators. Also, data sharing with urban information system(UIS) of local government to produce information for users and policy-makers. This system makes it possible to investigate the change of energy consumption patterns, especially depending on the family structure and the housing characteristics. Furthermore, analyzing their correlation with carbon emission, it is expected to provide basic data used to establish urban environmental policies.
