In the Chemicals Control Act, a system was implemented to unify off-site risk assessment and risk management plan into the prevention and management system for chemical accidents. Among the hazardous chemicals which have been covered in system, the accident preparation substances are designated as chemical substances that are likely to occur and of which damage scale are likely to be large in the event of chemical accidents. In this study, risks were compared by selecting accident preparation substances with similar regulated quantities. In addition, risk assessment studies were conducted applying the accident scenarios. Four types of materials such as ammonia, hydrogen chloride, carbon disulfide and benzene were selected for the study, and risks were finally analyzed using Safeti 8.0, a quantitative risk assessment program by DNV. As a result, some materials are identified to have high risks comparing to other substances having similar regulated quantities.

With the introduction of long-term care insurance, the number of long-term care facilities and the elderly using it is increasing. Nevertheless, there was a lack of concern and research on elderly abuse and how to affect the life of the elderly in long-term care facilities. The study analyzed the data collected from 278 senior citizens of 44 long-term care facilities in two regions. The analysis was conducted to analyze the relationship among elderly abuse, service quality, service satisfaction and life satisfaction. An analysis showed that some of the elderly experienced elderly abuse, especially sexual abuse. The experience of abuse affect the perception of the service quality, service satisfaction and life satisfaction of the elderly. The elderly experienced abuse was undervalued in service quality, service satisfaction and life satisfaction. Based on these findings, the implications to prevent elderly abuse of long-term care facilities are suggested.

Female plays an important role in new welfare policies as emerging new social risks including care needs resulted from increasing female employment participation and changes in family structures. Whereas the effects of work and life reconciliation policies on female employment are well established, less is known for the role of production regime as an important institution on gender wage gap. This study examines the questions in what way and to what extent production regimes and work and family reconciliation policies influence gender wage gap in advanced capitalism countries using the Luxembourg Income Study (LIS). The coordinated market economies (CMEs), presented as higher firm-specific skills, are associated with lower income rank for female workers than male workers, hence larger degree of gender wage gap. Longer parental leave weeks and higher childcare expenditures are associated with less degree of gender wage gap. This research highlights the importance of production regimes in understanding gender wage gap and potential interaction between production regimes and work and life reconciliation policies on gender wage gap.

This is a case study of Korea Airports Corporation(KAC) examining the effects of pre- and post-employment experience factors on individual and organizational priority. This study surveyed 240 employees of KAC and analyzed the results. The influence of pre-employment experience (number of times applying to public sector, reason to choose public sector, and job changing experience) and post-employment experience (years of employment, position, and job types) on personal value (authority, achievement, welfare, vacation, and personal life) and organizational value (responsibility, obligation, performance, compensation, and participation) was studied. The results indicated that organizational value is generally greater than personal value. Preference value (=organizational value/personal value) was greater than one for every group. Education, years of employment, position, reason to choose public sector were confirmed to influence preference value. For pre-employment factors, as an employee chooses to work in the public sector because of better balance of work-personal life, preference value was confirmed to be lower. For post-employment factors, when the years of employment are longer and the position is higher, preference value is significantly higher. The results imply that an organization should establish a fair evaluation and compensation system to help employees display their full capability to produce maximum performance.

This study was conducted to provide the policy information on implementing forestry mechanization through analyzing the project results and policy effectiveness. Study method adopted LISREL (Linear Structural Relationships) model which is the covariance structural equation model. Data was collected by questionnaires on the executors who are actually executing the forestry mechanization project. The analysis results on project outcome, policy satisfaction, and education and training showed the average. But the policy consistency, the consolidation of law and system and the spreading of forest machines showed bellow the average. Therefore, it is necessary to implement the consistent policy through the consolidation of law and system, and to increase the spreading ratio of forest machines in the forestry mechanization. In forestry mechanization project, the policy basis, the spreading of forest machines, and the education and training showed the positive affect on the policy outcome, respectively. The policy outcome had the positive affect on policy satisfaction. Accordingly, although the forestry mechanization policy system is important, it is necessary to spread the forest machines and to increase the training and education of operators for the successful forestry mechanization in the future.

In Korea, soil is being transported in and taken out for the purpose of national land development, but the soil is being moved without consideration of soil contamination. Therefore, this is a policy-focused study of the management system on soil moving. In this study, we analyzed current state of domestic and foreign management and suggested three alternatives for management of soil moving in 1) self-regulation, 2) obligatory regulation, 3) phase-in according to types of regulation. In order to establish a clear and reasonable management system for soil movement in the future, it is necessary to improve the legal and institutional limitations of the current soil environmental law as suggested by this study.

This paper presents the policy directions of total maximum daily loads(TMDL), which was recently adopted in Korea, for scientific management of water quality. The basic principles of water quality management are also discussed in this paper, along with the TMDL policy in United States as well as the previous policy in Korea. We discussed several unreasonable points out of the previous approaches, such as regulation of all point sources with equal standards, negligence of an assimilative capacity of the receiving water, and emphasis only on drinking water supply, etc.. For successful applications of the TMDL policy in Korea, the following directions are suggested: 1) the unit drainage basin for each TMDL application should be given, 2) the water body where the water quality standards should be maintained, needs to be guided, 3) the water quality parameters of TMDL should be given, 4) the technical guidances should be given for applications of water quality models, and 5) the seasonal TMDL would be allowed. In order to maximize the benefits of the TMDL policy, the local governments would need to implement the following strategies: 1) the increment of an assimilative capacity of the receiving water, 2) the effective controls of the non-point source pollution, 3) the advanced treatment of the point sources, 4) application of system optimization techniques along with effluent trade, and 5) utilization of watershed management systems.

The Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty was ratified in 1991. With the aim to ensure comprehensive protection of the Antarctic environment, it contains provisions on environmental protection and conservation of the Antarctic area, including provisions for Environmental Impact Assessment. Environmental Impact Assessment is a method used to predict environmental impacts at an early stage in project planning and design, and find ways to mitigate or prevent adverse impacts in order to maintain balance between development activities and environmental conservation. Internationally, the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in the Antarctic is classified into three types - preliminary, Initial, and Comprehensive - based on the environmental impacts of the proposed activities. In case of the Preliminary Environmental Review (PER), proposed activity may proceed in accordance to the national procedures and drafting of an outline. However, Initial (IEE) and Comprehensive Environmental Evaluation (CEE) assess and verify the impacts of the proposed activity, and require methods or alternatives for mitigating or eliminating negative impacts on the environment. Although Korea's Act of 'Activities and Environmental Protection in Antarctica' also includes provisions on EIA for activities in Antarctica, there are obvious contrasts with the EIAs currently being conducted in Korea, in regards to deciding the level of EIA through screening and identifying key issues for assessment through scoping. In order to implement the proper EIA, more improved methods for drafting and reviewing the EIA to Antarctica in Korea are necessary.

최근 들어 내수용 및 수출용 자동차 보증 제도를 살펴보면 부품에 대한 방식 보증기간이 점차 연장되는 추세이며, 이에 따라 자동차사에서 요구하는 방식 및 내식성 평가 기준이 상향되어 가고 있다. 실제로 수출차에 대한 방청 품질 보증기간이 차체 구멍 발청 10년에서 12년으로 연장할 움직임을 보이는 등 점차 방식에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 따라서 내식성 향상에 대한 끊임없는 연구가 지속적으로 이루어지고 있으며, 내식성 향상을 위해 구조/형상 변화, 도장 품질 향상, 최적화 설계 등 다방면에서 노력을 기울이고 있다. 그 중에서도 가장 근본적인 해결책인 소재의 내식성 향상에 대한 관심은 날로 높아지고 있는 실정이다. 특히 일본 등지에서는 GA 도금재의 사용이 증가하고 있으나, 아직은 내식성에 대한 효율적이고 체계적인 관리가 부족한 면이 있다. GA재는 합금화 과정에서 야기되는 Fe% 합금화도, 합금화 상분율(감마, 델타, 제타상), crater 등 복잡한 소재의 특성으로 인해 소재의 내식성 분석에 고려할 사항이 많다. 실제 여러 실험들을 통해서 GA재가 내식성에 영향이 있는 인자들에 대해 많은 연구가 진행되었지만 명확히 정량화되어 있지 않은 관계로 GA재의 내식성 관리 기준에 대해서도 명확하진 않은 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 당사재와 타사재의 고강도 GA재 (>440 MPa) 11종에 대해 crater분율, zeta상, 합금화도, 도금량 등의 다양한 도금 물성들을 조사하였다. 또한 이 시편들을 34일 동안의 복합염수 분무법(CCT)을 통해 얻은 최대 및 평균 블리스터 폭과 소재 표면품질 물성과의 상관관계를 통해서 부식과 연관된 관련인자들을 도출하고 정량적인 관계를 살펴보았다. GA재의 경우 다양한 물성들 중에서 도금 크레이터, 제타상, 합금화도 순으로 내식성에 영향을 주는 것으로 확인이 되었으며 이 세 인자들을 내식성 평가 지수화하여 GA재 생산시 효율적인 관리범위를 지정하는데 이용 가능할 수 있도록 diagram을 도출하였다. 따라서, 본 연구를 통하여 자동차사에서 요구하는 내식성 기준을 만족하기 위한 내식성 상관 인자들의 관리 수준을 정량화함으로써 보다 우수한 소재의 관리를 할 수 있도록 하고자 한다.

The vulnerability analysis of climate change driven disaster has been used as institutional framework for the urban policies of disaster prevention since 2012. However, some problems have occurred due to the structure of vulnerability analysis, such as overweighted variables and duplicated application of variables of similar meaning. The goal of this study is to examine the differences of results between the method of current guideline and the method of weight equalization. For this, we examines the current structural framework of the vulnerability analysis, and performs empirical analysis. As a result, the extent and magnitude of vulnerability showed different spatial patterns depending on the weighting methods. Standardized weighting method relatively represented wider vulnerable areas compared to the pre-existing method which follows the current instruction manual. To apply the results of vulnerability analysis to urban planning process for disaster prevention, this study suggests that the reliability of the results should be ensured by improving analytical framework and detailed review of the results.
