Public bicycles are a representative eco-friendly transportation means that can reduce carbon emissions and play an important role in first/last mile mobility and that can be linked to public transportation in the future MaaS era. In 2008, Changwon City started operating donor bicycles for the first time in Korea. However, as the infrastructure of public bicycles has expanded without a theoretical basis for over 10 years, operating costs are increasing due to a decrease in operational efficiency, which makes it difficult to quantitatively expand the service. In this study, a method for calculating the number of stands suitable for the use of public bicycles was presented, and an efficiency index was developed to evaluate the efficiency of public bicycle infrastructure. The method presented in this study was found by examining the relationship between numbers of rentals and returns of public bicycles and the number of bicycle holders. It is expected that the results can be used by other local governments.

This study considered regional differences in the university-industry collaboration of Korean universities and performed cluster analysis to identify the spatial range with high university-industry collaboration connectivity. By university establishment type, it was found that the university-industry collaboration capacity of the major national university was superior overall, especially in the technology transfer & commercialization sector and the infrastructure sector, compared to private universities and general national universities. The spatial pattern of university-industry collaboration capacity showed relatively clear differences by city and province. In terms of university-industry collaboration capacity by sector, it was confirmed that the regional gap was not large in the talent training sector and the infrastructure sector, but the regional gap was relatively large in the technology transfer & commercialization sector and the start-up sector. As a result of the cluster analysis to identify a spatial range with high connectivity in terms of similarity and spatial proximity of university-industry collaboration patterns, it is divided into 15 clusters. It is found that most of major national universities are included in one of 15 clusters where all sectors of university-industry collaboration are strong. Therefore, as a policy measure to achieve regional innovative growth through enhancing the effectiveness of university-industry collaboration, we propose the establishment of a hub & spoke network-type collaboration system in which a major national university acts as a hub and nearby local universities play a spoke role.

This study calculated meta Malmquist indices and their bootstraped estimates and then decomposed them into technical efficiency change(TEC), technology change(TC), pure technology catch up(PTCU), frontoer catch up(FCU), using annual data set of general hospitals from year 2007 to 2011 collected by Korean Hospital Association and then analyzed productivity change and technology gap of Korean general hospitals. The results and implications were as follows below. First, public general hospitals showed higher meta technical efficiencies than private general hospitals while exhibited lower technology gap ratio which meant a few large private general hospitals led the whole general hospitals. Second, group productivity of private general hospitals increased larger than public general hospitals due to the differences of PTCU rather than FCU. But, there was no statistically significant differences for technical efficiency, productivity change, technology gap. Thus, public general hospitals played the same role as the private general hospitals in terms of the number of patients treated. But, considering financial hardships of public general hospitals, public hospitals needed to share and learn medical and managerial skills of the best practice of private general hospitals.

The status and changes of water quality of national fishing harbors and designated ports in East Coast of Korea were analyzed to support establishment effective water environmental management. COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) concentration was satisfied to designated water quality criteria in most areas, but TN (Total Nitrogen) and TP (Total Phosphorus) exceeded the criteria frequently. Also, peak concentration was summer in COD and SS (Suspended Solid), but winter in TP. Eutrophication index of Ganggu and Pohang (old) area were the highest. Pollution index by function of COD, TN, and TP of Ganggu, Pohang, Jumunjin, and Guryongpo was high with gradual increasing recently, on the contrary, that of Samcheok, Imwon, and Chuksan was decreased. Pollution index involving multi-indictors relation to organics and inorganics was necessary for water quality assessment. Designated water quality criteria needed to be improved because the criteria of Jukbyun and Chuksan was applied more strictly compared to the other regions although without difference of environmental characteristics. Furthermore, the criteria notified lately needed to be related to management pollutants from land-based sources. The continuous diagnosis and monitoring on sediment quality within the study area were necessary for prevention of water pollution and eco-friendly disposal of dredged sediment. Especially, monitoring of Designated Ports was implemented partially, however monitoring ratio of National Fishing Har-bors was 7% to whole part. Therefore, systematic and integrated environmental monitoring for ports and harbors with charge of national management was reestablished by strengthening and securing a legal basis.

This study discusses the effectiveness of safety management programs resulted from examining crash data collected during the period of implementation of the programs by a commercial transport company. For the analysis, two tye of comparison approaches are adopted: 1) a study comparing before-after of the implementation of a safety program, and 2) a study comparing a traffic accident index for various target groups. Technically, the effect of the safety management program is derived by eliminating both the 'regression to the mean' and the changing trend in the traffic accident index. The results show that safety management programs are effective to prevent traffic accidents, whereas company type appears irrelevant. The results also show that the effectiveness is significantly different depending on the intensity of safety management program and company size. In addition, a reciprocal effect is very likely to existamong the combination of these variables. This indicates that in order to improve the accident reduction effectiveness of such programs, the development and application of safety management programs based on both safety management strength and company size are required.

According to the E-Government Readiness Index announced by UN in 2012, the Republic of Korea ranked top again following the last time. However, according to the national competitiveness index announced by IMD, that of the Republic of Korea has still ranked in the world's top 20 for three successive years. In particular, the area of government efficiency took the 25th place in 2012, descending three steps compared to that in 2011, and the area of infrastructure related to informatization has been ranking 20th for three years. This phenomenon can prove that the Republic of Korea's informatization is not producing good outcome, and the investment in informatization is not creating good effects. This phenomenon was analyzed in terms of a life cycle of informatization in this study. As the result, it was revealed that structural problems remain in each step, the linking of information in each step is insufficient, reasonable trace management is absent ,and information management depending on systematic plan is lacking. To solve these problems, improvement measures through architecture consideration were suggested.

최근 국토교통부 홍수통제소에서는 가뭄대응을 위해 1, 3개월 갈수예보를 시범적으로 운영하고 있다. 국가재난 위기경보단계(관심, 주의, 경계, 심각)에 따라 분류된 기준유량과 예측유량의 비교를 통해 갈수상황을 판단하며, 그 중 기준유량은 일본의 정상유량 산정 기법에 의해 계산된다. 그러나 우기 건기에 따라 상이한 유입량 및 물 사용량이 정상유량 산정에 고려되지 않았고, 각 위기단계별 물 부족상황이 재현되지 못하였다. 또한, 하천유량 부족은 가뭄과 관계가 밀접함에도 불구하고, 가뭄상황과의 연계분석이 이뤄지지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 갈수빈도와 정상유량산정 모델을 이용하여 기준유량을 재설정하고 가뭄상황을 분석하였다. 대상유역은 영산강유역으로 선정하였고, 보고된 하천수사용허가량, 댐 용수 공급량 및 10년 이상 장기간 관측된 관측소별 일 유량자료를 활용하였다. 일 관측유량을 7일 이동평균으로 변환한 후, 유황분석을 통해 $Q_{90}$을 산정하였으며, 빈도별 $Q_{90}$을 계산하였다. 정상유량 산정 모델에서 입력 자료(자연유량, 댐 공급량 및 하천수 허가량)에 가중치를 두어 양을 조절하고 각 빈도에 맞는 관개기 및 비관개기 기준유량을 산정 하였다. 가뭄지수로는 국내 활용성이 높은 Standardized Precipitaion Index (SPI) 및 Standardized Runoff Index (SRI)를 선정하였고, 이를 지속기간 1, 3, 6, 12개월에 따라 일별로 계산하였다. 7일 평균 관측유량이 기준유량 이하일 때, 이시점을 전 후로 가뭄지수의 시공간적 특성과 가뭄의 지속기간 및 심도를 분석하여 가뭄상황을 제시하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 갈수예보 시 하천유량 부족에 따른 물수지 및 가뭄상황에 대한 직관적인 판단과 갈수기 효율적인 하천수 조정 협의에 기여할 것으로 본다.

농업적 가뭄을 모니터링하기 위해 토양수분량, 증발산량, 지하수위 등을 이용하며, 농업용 저수지의 저수율을 기반으로 농업용수 공급능력을 평가해 왔다. 특히, 농업용 저수지에 대한 농업적 가뭄을 평가하기 위해 저수율 관측 자료를 저수율을 이용하거나, 관측 자료가 없는 경우 물수지 모형을 이용한 연구는 다수 진행되어 왔다. 다만, 농업적 가뭄을 전망하는데 있어 물수지 모형의 활용은 입력 자료의 구축 및 기상예보자료의 활용 기술 부족으로 많은 평가가 진행되지 못하였다. 본 연구에서는 기상예보자료와 회귀모델을 연계한 농업적 가뭄전망정보를 산정하고, 활용성을 평가하였다. 기상예보자료는 기상청 현업예보 모델인 GloSea5로부터 생산된 자료를 이용하였으며, 농업적 가뭄을 평가하기 위해 농업용 저수율 자료 기반인 RDI (Reservoir Drought Index)를 활용하였다. 농업적 가뭄전망정보는 현재의 수문조건이 지속된다는 가정 하에 예보선행시간 3개월까지 산정하였다. 가뭄전망정보를 평가하기 위해 과거 가뭄사상을 대상으로 산정하였으며, 전망정보의 예측성은 통계분석을 이용하여 정량적으로 평가하였다. 금회 제시한 연구방법은 현재의 수문조건이 지속될 시 기상예보에 따른 농업적 가뭄을 예측할 수 있다는 점에서 활용성이 높을 것으로 판단된다.

This paper examines the relationship between the real estate policies of Korean government and the stock market of Korea. It is the purpose of this paper whether the government policies are effective or not when the Korean government release new real estate policies outlining higher taxes and more housing supply as part of its plan to suppress speculation. This paper studies the properties of daily stock returns of the construction sector in Korea securities market when the government announcements of the real estate policies are released. On the demand side, multiple home owners and those purchasing property for speculative purposes are expected to be hit the hardest If the government policies are effective. The empirical results of this paper show that most of the cumulative abnormal returns(CARs) are statistically significant from the year 2002 to the year 2006 except the year 2004.
