The primary purpose of this paper is to critically examine the theoretical and methodological issues in the study of generations. The issues include: 1) the concept of generation: 2) the basis of generational formation: 3) internal differentiation of generations: 4) the boundary problems of generations: 4) the boundary problems of generations: and 5) generational differences and generational conflict. From the investigation of these issues, two conclusions are drawn. Firstly, Mannheim's basic concepts and theoretical frameworks are very useful to understand and explain the social movements and sociocultural changes. Secondly, however, further elaboration and modification of the several concepts and frameworks are needed to deal with the problems of generations in general which are not directly connected to social movements. Several points are suggested to elaborate Mannheim's frameworks, which include the reconceptualization of generation, and introducing the concepts of “generation sects” and “manifest-latent generational conflicts”.

Issues regarding "generation" are facing a renaissance during recent years. One of prevailing reasons for this development is the crisis of collective identities due to diverse contemporary socio-political circumstances and cultural characteristics of Korean society. However, it is often criticized that the sociological examination of this topic is rather in a obscure stage resulting from the inherent confusion and ambiguities mainly caused by the mixed usage of the concept. In this regard, this study explores the possibility of answering these critics and refining the systemic usage for the sociology of generation in the realm of social changes and social innovations. For this purpose, analytical classification of the concept based on various contextual typology are attempted.attempted.

본 연구에서는 브랜드 개성이 제품의 개성을 판단하는데 영향을 미치는가에 대하여 설문을 통해 살펴보았다. 동일한 제품에 대하여 개성이 상이한 브랜드가 적용되었을 경우 제품의 개성을 판단함에 있어 브랜드 개성의 특성이 반영되는지 여부를 확인하고자 하였다. 설문을 위하여 두 켤레의 신발을 준비하였으며 각각은 상징적인 측면이 강조된 여성용 하이힐 제품과 기능적인 측면이 강조된 운동화로 구성하였다. 각 제품에 대하여 명품브랜드(Versace), 일반 상용 브랜드(독일: C&A, 한국: 밀리오레), 그리고 브랜드가 부착되지 않은 총 6장의 사진을 준비하였다. 실험에 앞서 별도의 피험자들이 상기 사용된 브랜드들에 대하여 "frohlich/유쾌함(cheerful)", "ehrlich/정직함(honest)", "provokativ/도발적인(provocative)"의 형용사로 평가를 하였다. 본 실험에서는 실험참여자에게 각 신발들의 3가지 사진 중 무작위로 선정된 사진을 한 장씩 보여주고, 각각에 대해 브랜드 측정에 사용했던 동일한 평가항목을 이용하여 평가하도록 했다. 더불어, 본 연구는 개인주의 문화권에 비하여 집단주의 문화권에서 브랜드의 영향이 더 두드러지게 나타나는 지를 알아보기 위하여 독일의 만하임대학(Universitaet Mannheim)과 한국의 한국과학기술원(KAIST) 학생들을 위주로 설문을 실시하여 문화적 차이에 따른 브랜드 영향력을 비교하고자 하였다. 실험결과에서는 독일과 한국 모두에서 브랜드 개성이 제품 개성에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났으나, 브랜드 개성이 제품의 기능적 측면(가격)에는 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다(p<.001).

In order to investigate the influence of nuclear power plant operation on its nearby environment, soil, stream and marine sediment samples were collected in the vicinity of the Youngkwang Nuclear Power Plant in Korea, and analyzed for artificial and natural radionuclide radioactivity. From the analytical result, Cs-137 was detected in most soil samples. but it may have been derived fiom past nuclear weapon tests because Cs-134 having short half-live was not detected. The radioactivities of Cs-137 in the sediment samples were also detected which are within the normal range in the sediments based upon the published literature between 1997 and 1999. For the quality control of radioactivity analysis of environmental samples, sets of marine sediments in the Gamami area were analyzed using two HPGe Gamma-ray Spectroscopes (30% and 45%) according to the geostatistical sampling strategy, and Cs-137 and K-40 results were interpreted by analysis of variance (ANOVA). In the two-way ANOVA, variances derived from the geochemical variation were significant, but errors from sampling and analytical procedures are negligible. In conclusion. all the radioanalytical procedures of this study including sampling are validated to be acceptable.

This paper focuses on the geographical pattern of financial activities in the Korean urban system during 1975-1990, based on the assumption that financial activities can reveal control points in Korea's urban economy. In terms of spatial evolution of financial insitutions, different locational characteristics are revealed among different types of financial institutions, implying the role of urban hierarchy. Financial resources are highly concentrated in the capital region, Seoul and Kyonggi Province. Both centralization trends into the large metropolitan cities and relative declines of medium and small cities within the Korean urban system, have been experienced over the study period. Financial activities sustain relatively stable hierarchical structure in the urban hierarchy. Regarding the financial flows, dominant flow zones centered on major metropolitan cities are identified, clearly showing a prominant role of Seoul in financial flows in the entire urban system.
