  • It is desirable to prevent medical accidents because they bring about irretrievable outcomes to patients, as they are directly related to each patient's life, and health. However, once medical accidents occur, it is appropriate to resolve them quickly without conflict before the feelings of directly involved people are intensely confronted with each other. Korea Consumer Agency carries out medical dispute mediation to address such disputes quickly, fairly, and efficiently, and so does Korea Medical Dispute Mediation and Arbitration Agency. Although there has been constant debate on a merge between the two agencies because of duplicated work and consequent inefficiency, it is desirable to maintain the two agencies to ensure consumers' options and to promote the mutual development of the agencies through competition. Therefore, there should be legal and systematical support for Korea Consumer Agency to have fair competition with Korea Medical Dispute Mediation and Arbitration Agency. This is not for Korea Consumer Agency, but ultimately for consumers.

  • 수재해의 증가로 인한 지하차도 침수 사고가 빈번히 발생하고 있다. 지하차도 침수 사고를 예방하기 위한 여러 대비책들이 있지만, 예방적 관점에서 볼 때 사람이 직접 모니터링 하는 방법 이외에는 적절한 예방책이 되지 못한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 강수량에 따른 지하차도 진입 여부 시스템을 제안한다. 강수량과 배수량의 차이를 통해 침수 위험도를 판단하여 진입 여부를 파악 후 운전자에게 정보를 전달해 사고를 예방할 수 있다.
