In order to encourage collaboration with North Korea in astronomy research field, we have studied the astronomical almanacs published in South and North Korea. The almanac contains fundamental astronomical data including not only daily calendar data but also unique characteristics selected by necessity in each country. We compared the South and North Korean astronomical almanacs in terms of contents, detailed descriptions, unique items, and so forth. We used the 2017 almanac for South Korea and 1993 almanac which is useful for this research for North Korea. We found that there were several differences between South and North Korean almanacs. The North Korean almanac is published for the astronomer or navigator, thus it has supplementary information about spherical astronomy such as precession of the north pole and position of celestial bodies. Whereas the South Korean almanac is published for the general public, and it distinctively contains luni-solar calendar, 24 solar terms, national holidays, etc. This study could be helpful for research cooperation between South and North Korea in astronomy.

This study was conducted to compare protected areas of South and North Korea based on international conservation criteria and recommend new fundamental directions for nature conservation policy. International conservation criteria used by this research were the 1994 IUCN protected area categories, composed of 6 management categories. Despite a variety of types and names of protected areas created by different domestic legislations, South Korea was revealed to have only two types of protected areas, Category IV and V, indicating the significant lack of ecological diversity and representativeness in its protected area system. Shockingly, there are no national parks meeting IUCN criteria in South Korea. On the other hand, North Korea has three IUCN Categories of II, III, IV and thus more balanced and ecologically representative protected area network than South Korea. Especially, North Korea maintains 9 national parks to be officially recognized by IUCN and UN. However, both South and North Korea should make sincere effort to have new and well-designed protected area system including all IUCN Categories I -Ⅵ and particularly a minimum area in the stricter protected area categories.

한국전쟁기 북한 소설에 대한 북한의 문학사적 평가는 남한의 문학사와 비교할 경우 매우 큰 차이를 보여주고 있다. 남한에서 나온 대부분의 문학사에서는 한국전쟁기 남한 소설에 대해 대체로 부정적인 평가를 내리고 있으나, 북한에서 나온 문학사의 경우에는 한국전쟁기 북한 소설을 매우 긍정적으로 평가하고 있는 것이다. 물론 이러한 평가는 남북한 문학사의 문학에 대한 관점의 차이에서 비롯되었다고 할 수 있다. 그러나 북한에서 나온 북한문학사의 경우에는 정치적 목적에 따라 작품을 왜곡하여 평가하고 있는 경우가 많으므로 사실에 대한 면밀한 검토가 필요하다. 이태준, 김남천, 임화 등 남로당 계열 작가의 작품에 대한 북문학사의 평가는 특히 그러한데, 남한에서 이루어진 북한문학에 대한 논의들은 이러한 사실을 지적하면서 한국전쟁기 문학에 대한 실증적인 자료조사와 과학적 연구의 필요성을 제기 하고 있다.

For establishment of post-Unification fisheries program, this research has opened a fisheries Act system for South and North Korea and searched a policy direction to make new Fisheries Act for future South and North Korean fisheries program. In addition, North Korea's present fishery industry must be accurately understood and acknowledge in its point of issues in order to develop and improve to rational direction and to overcome the present South and North's fishery industry. As a level to prepare for future unification, reform and reaction of long-termed and well organized South and North's fisheries program must be arranged. Consequently, fishing permits of South and North, licensing system, fisheries resource management system, fisheries adjustment system, foreign fishing regulations system will be compared in this research, and also find an improvement on North Korea's fisheries related act in preparation of future unification.

Researchers have started to conduct comparative studies of mathematics education in South and North Korea. Most of these studies have a tendency to compare with the curriculum of South and North Korea in the macroscopic standpoint. But microscopic comparative studies on each topic of school mathematics have not been attempted yet. Microscopic studies as well as macroscopic studies are required to prepare for unification the curriculum of South and North Korea. This paper attempts to compare the contents related pythagorean theorem which is dealt with in secondary school mathematics textbook of South and North Korea. Through this study, meaningful differences between textbooks are founded and some implications are obtained. Specially, 'cutting off and rearranging' method needs to be taken into consideration for active learning. Also the construction of the figure using the pythagorean theorem needs to be dealt with in order to develop the logical thinking.

The technology of North Korea has not reached the modem level even though it has economic potential. Standardization and quality control have comprehensively prevailed in South Korea since the 1970s, which is considered to have been based of quality improvement. In the course of an active interchange between South and North, it is necessary to grasp the phenomenon on the quality and reliability control of North Korea. This study will put its relevant terms in order and make a comparison between specifications of North Korea and South Korea in the reliability test plans.

KISTI는 최신 해외 과학기술 정보를 우리 글로 쉽게 접근할 수 있도록 온라인 상에서 영문 제목을 한글로 번역하여 서비스하는 시스템을 중국 단동에 소재한 하나프로그램 센터와 남북한 과학기술 정보교류 차원에서 공동으로 개발해 왔다. 본 연구에서는 북한의 하나프로그램 센터에서 개발한 영한 번역 시스템을 가지고 각종 문서의 제목을 번역하였을 때 발생하는 번역 오류를 분석하고, 알타비스타 번역 서비스를 이용하였을 때의 번역 결과와 비교하고 분석하였다. 본 영한번역 시스템이 실용적으로 쓰이기 위해서는 문법 구조에 관한 연구에 많은 노력이 필요하다.

평화의댐은 발전 기능이나 수문 조작 등 인위적인 기능이 전혀 없기 때문에 단순히 홍수조절용댐으로 분류된다. 평화의댐의 여수로는 일반적인 댐과는 달리 임남댐에 대응하기 위한 단계별 건설계획을 고려하여 댐 우안부에 배수터널 형식으로 건설되었다. 현재 평화의댐은 4련의 배수터널(직경 10 m)을 통해서 상류의 유입량을 하류로 방류하고 있다. 방류 능력을 초과하는 홍수가 발생하는 경우에는 일시적인 저류를 통한 제한적인 홍수조절을 수행하고 있지만, 그 효과는 크지 않다. 향후 남북한 관계 개선으로 임남댐의 안정성을 확보할 수 있다면, 평화의댐을 보통의 다목적댐과 같이 활용할 수 있을 것이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 평화의댐을 일반 다목적댐처럼 활용할 수 있는 상황을 가정하고, 일련의 운영방식을 적용하여 운영 방식 변경 전후의 댐의 홍수저류효과를 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 댐의 설계빈도인 200년 빈도의 강우에 대해 모의하고, 여러 가지 시나리오별 저류량-방류량 관계를 구축하였다. 최종적으로 비선형 저수지 모형에 적용하여 댐 저류효과를 정량화하고, 현재 및 잠재 홍수저류효과에 대해 비교하고 토의하였다.

This study objectively analyzes the understanding of changes in North Koreans' home lives and the differences between the home life cultures of South and North Korea. A comparative analysis was conducted of terms related to consumer and family resource management to determine language differences and create a mutual understanding of social convergence unification. First, the analysis revealed that the North Korean language is not developed in certain areas, such as consumer welfare or consumer patterns related to resolving issues or complaints connected to consumptive lifestyles. In financial management, there were terms that referred to the collapsed North Korean economic conditions after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the North Korean famine. Second, terms reflecting North Korea's social, political, and economic structures were discovered, and it was found that South and North Korean languages differed from each other with regard to terms about kinship, sports, and art.
