The purpose of the study is to investigate the effects of community-based SSI programs (SSI-COMM) regarding "fine dust" on promoting middle school students' understanding of community issues and their character and values as citizens. SSI-COMM on fine dust was implemented in 4 middle schools located in Seoul, and 151 7th graders participated in the program lasting over 8 weeks. Data was collected through two questionnaires (i.e. students' understanding of issues, and character and values as citizens) and individual interviews with selected students. Results indicated that there were statistically significant increases in their understanding of fine dust issue after the program. In addition, the program significantly contributed to enhancing students' character and values, especially in the domains of social and moral compassion and socioscientific accountability. Student interviews revealed that they became more aware of the local community problems caused by fine dusts and started to consider what efforts should be made to solve them. They also felt individual responsibility for the occurrence of fine dust, and the need for participation and practice of community activities for vulnerable groups in affected areas.

Science, technology and innovation policy (STI policy) is a result of the interactions between the social issues and academic research. Understanding the interactions of the STI policy between the social issues and academic research can throw some light on designing better policies and enhancing the social value of academic research. Thus, this paper explores the interactions of the STI policy between the social issues and academic research using the qualitative content analysis of major newspapers and journal articles in Korea. We have three major findings. First, on the one hand, academic research rose after uprising changes in the STI policy issues in the society. Second, on the other hand, social issues on STI policy were influenced by academic research reflecting the fundamental changes in the Korean innovation system and the nature of technology. Third, there are strong policy demands regarding the role of the STI policy for society and for traditional economic domains, but relevant research is scarce up to now. These findings contribute to uncovering the potential policy domains and agendas for policy makers and researchers.

The purpose of this study was to suggest the framework reflecting the interests of students in practical problems and social issues regarding perennial problems which correspond to the characteristics and goals of the 2007 revised curriculum. This study was carried into a literature review and 406 questionnaires, filled out by the 9th grade middle school students in Seoul and Gyeonggi province, were used for analysis. The main results of this study are summarized as follows: First, six perennial problems are ascertained, Next, the middle school students were most interested in 27 items of practical problems such as mapping out their career path, self-improvement and interpersonal relations. And finally, the middle school students' important social interests are adolescence issues, job preference bias, career choice, suicide and addiction to computer, appearance and money management behavior, house ownership and conspicious consumption, and lack of time to spend with family. This study suggested the framework which corresponds to the characteristics and goals of the 2007 revised curriculum.

As global supply chain risks proliferate unpredictably, the high interdependence of port and logistics industry intensifies the risk burden. This study conducted fundamental research to explore diverse safety issues in domestic ports. Utilizing news article data about Busan Port, we employed LDA topic modeling and time-series linear regression to understand key safety trends. Over the past 30 years, Busan Port faced nine major safety issues-maritime safety, import cargo inspection, labor strikes, and natural disasters emerged cyclically. Major port safety issues in Busan Port are primarily characterized by an unpredictable nature, falling under socio-environmental and natural phenomena types, indicating a significant impact of global uncertainty. Therefore, systematic policies need to be formulated based on identified port safety issues to enhance port safety in Busan Port. Additionally, there is a need to strengthen the resilience of port safety for unpredictable risk situations. In conclusion, advanced research activities are necessary to promote port safety enhancement in response to dynamically changing social conditions.

본 논문은 반려견의 사회 이슈 및 사육과 관련된 정보를 제공하고 반려인들의 소통을 원활히 수행할 수 있는 커뮤니티 '멍글멍글'을 개발한다. 반려견에 대한 관심이 계속 늘어나며, 이에 따른 시장 및 제도의 확장으로 반려인들이 얻는 정보의 불확실성과 제도에 대한 이해도가 감소하고 있다. '멍글멍글'은 이러한 맥락에서 출발하여 반려견을 키우는 사람들에게 신뢰성 있는 정보를 전달하고 원활한 소통을 촉진하기 위한 목적으로 개발되었다. 선정된 크리에이터가 정리한 객관적인 정보를 비롯하여 누구나 질문하고 답하며 소통할 수 있는 커뮤니티 기능, 반려견의 건강기록과 일정 관리 등의 기능을 제공함으로써 사용자는 한곳에서 다양한 서비스를 이용할 수 있습니다. 이를 통해 반려동물의 양육 난도를 낮추고 양육 만족도를 높여 더 건강하고 행복한 생활에 도움을 줄 것으로 기대된다.

As e-commerce has led to profound changes in the way economic transactions are made and has spurred the rapid integration of global markets, governance of e-commerce has emerged as an important policy agenda around the globe. Given the broader social and economic implications of e-commerce, it is of no surprise that the rule-making process for global e-commerce has increasingly captured the attention of scholars. Despite the substantial contributions to understanding this process, a review of the literature reveals some weaknesses in the study of emerging forms of governance in global e-commerce. This paper addresses these weaknesses and proposes an alternative theoretical framework that underscores the role of ideas and discourse in the global rule-making process.

Traffic safety policies have been established and carried out every five years according to the Traffic Safety Act. In addition to policies that are planned and carried out in the long run, there are also policies established to prevent the recurrence of various social issues and accidents. Citizens' participation in administrative affairs has recently seized the spotlight, and has become an efficient means of realizing administrative democracy. Based on big data analysis, this study aims to present how the "Kim Min-sik Case," which recently brought to the fore a social issue of strengthening laws on child school zones, has realized administrative democracy and contributed to legislation due to the emergence of the online platform called "national petition." Policy changes according to the cycle of issues are divided according to time series classification and what contents are devised in each section through text mining analysis. In this regard, the results of this study are expected to provide useful theoretical and practical implications for researchers and policymakers by presenting policy implications that it is important to prepare practical and realistic alternatives in solving policy problems.

2005년은 다른 어느 해보다도 굵직굵직한 사회복지 이슈들이 부각되고 논의되었던 한 해였다. 새로운 변화와 도약에 대한 사회복지계의 열망에 부응하여 사회복지 각계가 나름대로 노력해왔다. 그러한 수고와 노력으로 가시적인 열매를 맺는 성과도 있었고, 노력에 비해 결과가 기대에 못 미치는 경우도 있었다. 한해가 저물어가는 이때, 지나간 2005년을 알차게 마감하고 다가오는 2006년을 새롭게 준비하는 마음으로, 이번 12월호에서는 올 한해동안 ‘Social Worker'에서 깊이 있게 다루었던 내용을 중심으로 우리 사회복지계가 앞으로 풀어나가야 할 현안 문제가 무엇인지 되짚어보고, 이런 다양한 사회복지적 도전들에 어떻게 대응해 나가야할지 살펴보고자 한다.

As the big data technologies advance, there is an increasing interest in systematic methodologies for data-based policy determination especially in the public health area. This study proposes a method to develop an issue detection model through the collaboration with domain experts in order to intelligently detect major socio-national issues on infectious diseases based on data. At first, the factors influencing the 'domestic inflow of foreign infectious diseases' are determined and variables representing the factors are set. Thereafter, by using system dynamics methods, the causal analysis is made to find causal map indicating main influential factors. In this process, an empirical modeling is conducted through collaboration between data analysts and experts in the infectious disease domain. The proposed issue detection approach based on domain knowledges will make it possible to make a decision on policies more efficiently if the detection system is capable of continuos monitoring of the related issues.
