Microcredit was first introduced by non-profit organization in early 2000s and the Ministry of Health and Welfare promoted the support policy of self-support community and the hope-developing bank. And then, microcredit policy was suddenly changed while the microfinance policy was promoted in 2009. For example, there were changes of the control tower of the policy, the emphasis on financial approach from welfare approach, the establishment of the operation agency. This study analyzed the policy changes on microcredit policy using the framework of Hood(1994) and Joo(1999) in order to analyze causes of sudden changes. As results, the reason affecting microcredit policy change was changes of an unemployment rate and the financial environment, the change of outside situation, the policy idea of the middle practicalism of government and the success of the experiment in microcredit, the passive intervention of stakeholders, the internal factors on the policy custom. So the results suggests that the policy is produced illogically because of the absence of stakeholders' participation.

While Jeju Free International City was promoted to overcome the economic crisis and build a new national competitiveness in the era of globalization, its development vision as 'the hub city of Northeast Asian economy in the $21^{st}$ century' has not been realized. This paper argues that Jeju Free International City to aim for the 'ideal free market model', 'neoliberal space of exception', and 'a new testing ground for neoliberal deregulation policies' has failed due to worsening of socioeconomic and environmental contradictions, growing conflicts in local community, and the logic of equity enforced by the central government. To support this claim, this article reviews the theoretical discussions of special economic zones, examines the shifts in the development visions of Jeju Free International City, and analyzes how Jeju has become a space of exception with the introduction of various exceptional policies and spatial mechanisms.

We apply the GSADF bubble test and its date-stamping method for the daily number of new COVID-19 cases. The test indicates statistically significant explosive expansions of the number of new cases whose periods of panic explosion are identified by the date-stamping method of the bubble test. The date-stamping analysis reveals that as of June 30 2020, the number of daily COVID-19 new cases are still explosively increasing for India; however, they stop explosively increasing (or are under control) for USA, Brazil, Russia, Spain, Turkey, China, and South Korea. It also reveals that South Korea has two disjoint periods of explosion: a stable period follows after the first explosion of 2020.02.20-2020.03.06, and then the second explosion occurs 2020.05.27-2020.06.01 with a stable period that continues up to 2020.06.30.

1997-98년의 외환위기는 한국경제 전반에 걸쳐 커다란 변화를 초래하였다. 특히 노동시장에서도 200만 명의 전례 없는 대량실업을 경험하였다. 이전의 고학력 실업과 생산직 노동력 부족이라는 두 가지 큰 특징으로부터 성, 학력, 연령에 관계없는 전 노동력에서의 대량실업이라는 특징을 경험하게되었다. 불경기에서의 기업 구조조정은 많은 직장인들로 하여금 통상적인 정년을 채우지 못하고 조기 퇴직해야 하는 상황을 초래하였다. 특히 50세 이상의 중·고령자 조기퇴직은 그들이 가정경제를 책임지는 가장으로서의 가정적 불안 뿐 아니라, 사회적으로도 실업자 보호를 위한 비용지출이 증대될 수밖에 없다. 이러한 현상은 직장에 남아있는 근로자들의 고용불안으로 확대되어 근로자들의 의사가 제대로 반영되지 않는 채 그 동안 정착된 고용관행(60세 전후 정년퇴직, 연공서열형 보수체계, 등)이 쉽게 무너지고, 사용자 중심의 새로운 고용관행(계약직, 연봉제, 단시간 근로형태, 등)이 확대될 가능성이 높아지게 되었다. 본 연구는 중·고령자의 고용안정과 촉진을 위한 정책대안과 촉진을 위한 정책대안을 제시함으로써 개인에게는 적합한 직종에서 일할 기회를 부여하고, 사회적으로는 실업문제의 해결로 사회복지비용의 지출을 최소화한다는 차원에서 연구되었다. 일반적으로 채용 면에서는 퇴직된 중·고령자도 신구인력과 경쟁적일 수박에 없으므로 비록 경기가 회복되더라도 재취업의 어려움은 여전히 남을 수밖에 없다. 뿐만 아니라 이들은 오랫동안 피고용자로서 근무해 왔기 때문에 신규 자영업에 진출하기도 조심스러울 수밖에 없어 이들의 경제활동에 대한 정부차원의 지원정책이 필요할 것이다. 연구결과 다음과 같은 몇 가지 중요한 정책적 시사점을 제시할 수 있다. 의무고용률 의 조정, 퇴직 전 전직훈련의 의무화, 고령자 창업보육센타의 설립, 신규채용이나 퇴직에서 제한연령의 완화 및 철폐, 서비스 산업에서의 고령자 적합직종의 개발, 등이 그것이다.

We investigated the student's satisfaction in team activities. The 64 engineering college freshmen were grouped into 13 teams, and a set of questionnaire was given and analyzed. The results showed that the overall team satisfaction positively affects the team performance. However, the team satisfaction is more correlated with the team member's participation and the relationship. The team satisfaction tends to increase when having an environment where the team members regard each other, which they felt more important than the outcome. The particular role of team members was not directly related to the team satisfaction, and the students prefer having self-control in team formation. By using the study results, we may support students to have a positive experience of team learning especially in convergence educational environment.

This study attempts to find the relationship between achievement of environmental industry and development of financial sector by analyzing cross-sectional data for OECD countries. Development of financial industry has a positive effect on environmental industry. Green financing also affects improvement of environmental quality. Demand for environmental quality is positively influenced by GDP per capita, while financial crisis has a bad effect on environmental performance. Government-led green financing in Korea has a major role in the Korean environmental policy for years. While market-oriented green financing improves the efficiency of regulation, government-led green financing may delay internalization of environmental cost due to its subsidizing effect. Further study should include systematic analysis on the scope of green financing and its qualitative attribute and fundamental causality between green financing and environmental improvement.

This objective of this study is to thoroughly analyze the policies of international organizations and major advanced countries relevant to the realization of Green port To construct Green ports, there first must be competition to build such ports in sustainable, fixed quantities. Second, there is a great need for cooperation and support networks made binding by mutual agreements on ship recycling. Third, there is a need for scientific research on responses to changes in environmental regulations and on environmental issues. Today, the majority of the world's ports use gasoline or electric energy, and improving capacities for self-sufficiency through development of new and renewable energy is judged to be a pressing task. The conditions for an eco-friendly port is that it must be an important center for economic and industrial activity, and valuable as a site where people live and work, with residences and work places existing in close proximity.

This study focuses on the current state of Smart Grid policy in Japan and its problems while the interest in Smart Grid has been increasing since the March 2011 earthquake in East Japan. As a result of the analysis, Japan introduced the fixed price buying system of new and renewable energy in response to the power supply and demand problem caused by the 2011 earthquake in East Japan, and established a decentralized green electricity trading market in which electricity generated from new and renewable energy is traded Smart Grid-related projects were implemented as a solution to solve energy crisis and environmental problems at the same time. As a result, we achieved visible results such as suppressing peak power, reducing CO2 emissions, and securing stable supply and demand of energy using renewable energy sources. On the other hand, the improvement of current Smart Grid policy operation in Japan and the introduction of stabilization system of power system, promotion of international standards of domestic technology related to smart grid, and support for strengthening security of smart grid.

설악산국립공원은 1965년에 천연보호구역, 1970년에 국립공원 제 5호, 1982년 유네스코에 의해 생물권보존지역으로 지정된 지역이다. 우리 나라 국립공원에서는 물론 다른 자연보존지역에서도 찾아볼 수 없는 중요성이 강조된 지역이나 연간 400만명의 이용객이 집중되기도 하는 지역이다. 우리 나라 국립공원은 본래 관광개발을 위해 지정된 동기를 갖고 있어 자연생태계 및 자연경관도 중요하지만 현실적으로는 합리적인 이용도 중요하다. 그러나 지금까지 국립공원은 자연보존에 대한 관리는 도외시 한 채 이용객 집중에 의해 발생되는 도로, 시설물, 건축물, 각종 오염에 대한 대책마련도 제대로 하지 못하여 국립공원하면 국민은 '등산이나 하고 값싼 음식점과 여인숙 수준의 숙박시설이 있는 관광지'정도로 인식하고 있다. 지난 30년간 압축고도성장을 해 온 우리 나라는 국토의 자연환경이 수없이 훼손되고 또한 옥외 레크레이션활동의 증가로 환경오염이 계속 증가되었다. 설악산국립공원도 예외는 아니어서 저앗ㅇ부와 등산로 주변생태계, 계곡생태계 등이 오염되어 식물, 포유동물, 물고기, 곤충 등에 영향이 나타나고 있지만 대피소, 휴게소, 숙박시설을 중심으로 한 오염행위는 계속 늘어만 가고 있다. 이제 설악산국립공원은 거의 위기상황에 도달된 느낌이다. 이런 시기에 환경생태학회 국립공원분과위원회 회원들은 `96년 외설악 지역, `97년 내설악지역을 2년 동안 각 분야에 걸쳐 조사를 수행하였다. 지난 12년간 외부의 지원도 없이 연구비를 자체 조달하여 힘들게 국립공원 연구를 진행하여 온 일환으로 설악산국립공원 조사를 2년 동안 수행한 것이다. 이번 조사는 `96년 가을 북한공비침투로 많은 지역에 대한 출입이 통제되어 외설악연구의 일부가 누락되었음을 첨언한다. 본 글에서는 2년 동안 본 회원들이 조사한 내용에 의해 설악산 국립공원의 현황을 분석하고 관리개선 방향을 제시하였다.
