The purpose of this research is to propose an effective traffic safety countermeasure to reduce both violations of road traffic acts and accident rates related to the driver's characteristics by measuring them using Q analysis method, a microscopic statistics analysis method. As a result, violators of the road traffic act could be divided into five driving characteristics and causers of traffic accident could be classified into six driving characteristics. By understanding these characteristics, We could establish a proper traffic safety countermeasure for each driving characteristic. The accomplishments of this research are as follows: The first, We could classify the decisive driving characteristics, which cause road traffic acts and traffic accidents, into internal and external causes. The relationship between each driver's characteristic and the occurrence of the road traffic act and traffic accident could be recognized more clearly. We could find the dangerous driver samples who have Accidents proneness. The second, As a result of analyzing the characteristics of these factors, We could sort out and suggest countermeasure for reducing violation of road traffic acts and traffic accidents as a priority countermeasure and complementary countermeasure. Finally, transportation companies most closely related to automobile accidents can judge new personnels on the basis of their driving characteristics before hiring, and also apply this principle to the traffic safety education vigorously.

The importance of marine pollution prevention is increasing day by day both at home and overseas. Against this context, this study proposes policy directions to forge an improved system of coastal control for local governments. I have analyzed the coastal pollution response capacity of local governments to find out how the central government can better support these efforts to reinforce capacity. For the purposes of this research, I carried out a number of case studies on large-scale marine pollution accidents that occurred at home and abroad. According to the results, I identified the implications of the coastal pollution response capacity of local governments and suggested several alternatives such as construction of step by step response system, strengthening education and training, part of human network activation, establishment of grounds for securing response resources, and establishment of dedicated department to prepare for potential future marine pollution accidents. However, as little research has been done on the coastal pollution response capacity of local governments, this work may be regarded as an experimental study to help facilitate follow-up research in the future.

Purpose: To identify injuries and profile the characteristics of injured skiers and to use this information in designing injury-prevention programs and protective equipment. Materials and Methods: Injured skiers treated at a clinic of a ski resort located in Kangwon province in Korea were reviewed from 1998 to 2001. An injury was defined as any accident occurred during alpine skiing that required medical treatment. All injured skiers were asked to fill in a questionnaire which documented the mechanism of injury, their experiences , and the slope where they were injured Results: 1197 patients experienced ski injuries over a three-year-period. The overall incidence of ski injuries was 6.4 injuries per 1000 skiers. There was a slightly higher proportion of men than women and the mean age was in the third decade. The injury rate was higher for beginners and for less difficult slopes . The sprain and ligament injuries were most common and knee injuries accounted for 30$\%$ of all ski injuries . Conclusion: In our study , ski injuries occurred more often compared with foreign reports. it was concluded that an insufficient injury prevention system, an increasing number of skiers and a growing proportion of beginners was responsible for such a result.

Norovirus (NoV) is the most common cause of acute gastroenteritis in all age groups worldwide. In this study, prevalence of asymptomatic norovirus infection was investigated in food handler being employed at food catering facilities in South Korea. A total of 2,729 fecal specimens from asymptomatic food handlers were analyzed, and 1.06% of food handlers (29/2,729) had asymptomatic NoV infection. Of these, 17.2% (5/29) were positive for NoV GI and 82.7% (24/29) were positive for NoV GII. Especially, sequencing and phylogenetic analysis showed that GII-4 was the most prevalent genotype and a large number of asymptomatic food handlers were infested with norovirus GII-4 strains. The results of this study show that asymptomatic food handlers may be potential transmission sources for NoV infection. These results emphasize the need for training of food catering employees about norovirus prevention. Asymptomatic norovirus infection should receive more attention.

In this study, based on accident cases of manned and unmanned tower cranes, the types and causes of accidents were analyzed and tower crane accident prevention measures were proposed accordingly. As a result, 'lack of communication' was commonly analyzed as the biggest cause of accidents. Therefore, in this study, we investigated domestic and international systems and laws regarding signalmen responsible for communication between tower crane operators and workers and proposed the following three improvement methods. First, the signalman system must be legally and institutionally reestablished. Second, national agencies and private organizations with expertise should create standardized training manuals and distribute them to signalman educators, and create checklists to manage educators. Third, in the case of a site using a tower crane, the employer must mandatorily deploy a signalman with professional qualifications. Lastly, the results of this study are expected to highlight the differences in accident types and causes of manned and unmanned tower cranes and the need for legal and institutional improvement in the signal system.

Private detectives and investigators offer many services, including executive, corporate, and celebrity protection; pre-employment verification; and individual background profiles. They also investigate computer crimes, personal injury cases, insurance claims and fraud, child custody and protection cases, missing persons cases, and premarital screening. This paper focuses on a private detective or investigator system in most developed U.S.A, but it is not easy to describe that system. Licensing requirements vary in U.S.A. Some States have few requirements, and many other States have stringent regulations. A growing number of States are enacting mandatory training programs for private detectives and investigators. Employment and need of private detectives and investigators is expected to grow faster than the average for all occupations. Thus, it is reasonable that korean government should permit private investigation service find the way to minimize the side effects of private investigation service instead of banning the service totally.

최근 기후변화로 인한 기상재해 중 건조와 관련하여 인플루엔자, 호흡기질환 등과 같은 질병과 산불발생빈도의 증가로 인해 건강 및 재산상의 피해가 증가하고 있다. 특히, 한반도의 주택지역은 산림지역과 근접하여 산불 발생시 그 피해와 복구비용이 막대한 것으로 나타났다. 뿐만 아니라 향후 지구온난화가 가속화 될 경우 건조와 관련한 환자와 산불로 인한 피해가 증가할 것으로 예상되므로, 이에 대한 사전방재계획 및 복구계획 등이 필요하다. 이와 같은 건조현상 등의 자연재해에 대한 방재계획이 효과적으로 운영되기 위해서는 방재 정보를 인지하고 실천하는 개인의 적극적인 활용이 필요하다. 특히, 개인의 생활에 영향을 미치는 피해는 정부적인 대책보다 개인이 스스로 인지하여 대비함으로써 감소시킬 수 있기 때문에 재해에 대한 개인의 인지정도는 대책마련에 있어 중요한 요인이 된다. 이에 따라, 본 연구에서는 건조로 인한 질병 및 산불 발생 등 기상재해 증가에 대한 사전방재계획의 효과적인 운영을 위하여 설문조사분석을 통한 일반인의 건조특보 인지도 및 활용도 분석을 실시하였다. 또한, 기후가 변화함에 따라 더운 낮과 밤의 증가로 건조현상뿐만 아니라 폭염의 발생빈도도 증가할 것으로 예상되고 있다. 이와 관련하여 기후변화 적응측면에서 국민들의 건조특보 및 폭염특보와 관련한 정보 습득이 잘 이루어지고 있는지를 파악하고자 한다. 이를 위해, 선행연구에서 대학생의 주된 폭염특보 관련 정보습득경로가 TV와 인터넷인 점을 참고하여, 기상청에서 제공하는 건조특보와 폭염특보 발표일수와 TV, 인터넷의 대중매체를 통한 보도회수를 비교 분석하였다. 본 연구를 통해 대학생집단과, 10대, 20대의 저연령층의 인지도가 상대적으로 낮은 것으로 파악되었으며, 이는 대중 매체를 통한 건조특보와 관련한 정보전달의 부족으로 나타났다. 폭염특보와 관련한 언론보도는 기상전달뿐만 아니라, 폭염의 위험성, 폭염으로 인한 피해상황, 폭염특보제 홍보, 폭염과 관련한 대비책 등 다양한 내용으로 기재되었다. 반면에, 건조특보의 경우에는 대부분이 단순 기상전달로 폭염특보에 비해 보도의 다양성이 결여되어 있었다. 차후 대중매체를 통한 이용자들의 접근성을 증대시키기 위해서 신속하고 정확한 정보전달이 필요하다. 산불 및 화재예방과 관련하여 기상청의 정확한 기상정보 제공과 사전방재계획 수립에 대한 필요성을 직업별, 연령별로 구성된 각 집단의 50%이상이 느끼는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 따라, 기상정보 전달의 핵심인 기상청을 중심으로 온라인/오프라인 상의 기초교육부터 체계적인 사전방재계획 및 안전교육 프로그램 마련이 필요하다.

This study is to present an improvement of facility security through the evaluation of facility security operation level. To fulfill the purpose of the study, a survey of some facilities was conducted and the result was analyzed as follows; First, although security personnels were deployed in the facilities, the level of security personnel operation was relatively low. Second, job education training level was relatively proper, that is relevant to the result that show the level of service mind and the working mind of security personnel were proper, also relevant to the relatively good work shift system. Third, although situation room was operated well, the level of restricted area set-up and access control of visitor were low, and the level of article inspection and vehicle access control were very low. Forth, the level of security manual application that include detailed security method and procedure was proper. But accident prevention and response manual application was lower than security manual application, that show preparation for fire and negligent-accident is passive. For the improvement of facility security, the high level part and low level part in the survey result could be merged. For example, we could specify factors that show low level in the survey such as security personnel operation, access control of visitor and vehicle, article inspection, accident prevention and response in the security manual and promote education circumstance that show high level.
