사회-수문시스템의 인과관계에 대한 보다 상세한 통찰하기 위해서는 현재의 사회-수문시스템의 기능을 이해하고 미래의 사회-수문시스템의 변화 궤적을 예상할 수 있는 모형이 필요하다. 사회-수문학적 관점에서는 수문순환 현상과 더불어 인간 활동과 관련된 인구, 토지이용, 경제성, 환경변화로 연계되는 사회-수문시스템 내 복잡한 관계해석 과정이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 하천유지유량 결정기준에 따른 사회-수문시스템의 변화과정을 이해하고 가능한 영향궤적을 평가하기 위해 사회수문학적 관점으로 해석하고자 한다. 현재 우리나라에서는 하천유량고시지점 114개 중 각 항목별 고시지점의 비율은 수질(33%), 평균갈수량(33%), 생태(29%), 경관(4%), 수질 및 염해(1%)로 나타났다(2019년 고시 현황). 따라서 사회-수문시스템 내에서 하천유지유량 결정기준 차이에 따라 환경적, 사회적, 경제적 측면으로의 영향을 평가하기 위하여 구조방정식모형을 모델링 한 후, 모형 내 잠재요인(기상, 수문, 환경, 사회·경제)의 상호연관성을 파악하였다. 기상학적 요소로는 기온, 강수량을 선정하였으며, 인간의 활동이 개입된 수문학적 요소는 유량, 하천수이용량으로 선정하였다. 환경적 요소는 BOD, COD, SS를 선정하였으며, 사회·경제적 요소는 인구, 지가변동률을 고려하였다. 이와 같은 사회-수문시스템 내 잠재요인별 요소를 바탕으로 사회-수문학적 영향평가를 위한 가설을 검증하기 위해 통계 프로그램 AMOS를 활용하여 구조방정식모형을 모델링하였다. 향후 사회-수문학 관점에서의 복잡한 영향관계를 정량적으로 평가하고, 다양한 이해관계자 간의 합의를 도출하는 데 있어서 효율적인 의사결정도구로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

The purpose of this study was to assess the performance of Korean public libraries based on the national representative sample using Vakkari and Serola's (2012) public library outcome scale. Conducting a web-based survey to 1,000 Korean adults nationwide, the responses of 629 respondents who had visited the public library in the past year were analyzed. Results showed that, among the 19 benefit areas, "reading fiction and non-fiction" was the most perceived benefit area followed by "acquiring educational opportunities", and "self-development during leisure time". The benefits were considerably lowly perceived in the rest 16 areas. Different from the original four-factor structure, "reading/self development" were emerged as a new factor in this Korean sample. The benefits were perceived differently by citizens with different socio-demographic backgrounds. Results informed the current status of the public library performance and values perceived by the general Korean adults population across the nation.

Various international reports have shown strong proof that socioeconomic and sociodemographic variables are correlated with allergic diseases, yet little is known about how these variables affect Korean adolescents. This study was conducted to identify the socioeconomic and sociodemographic risk factors for allergic diseases of Korean adolescents, and to provide information for preventing and managing such conditions. Data from the 2018 Korean Youth Risk Behavior Survey (KYRBS) of 60,040 adolescents was used for this study. An anonymously administered online survey was conducted to collect information on the dependent variables. The independent variables were asthma, allergic rhinitis and atopic dermatitis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the correlations between the dependent variables and the independent variables. Low economic status, living with mother, high education level of parents, high school record, obesity, drinking and smoking were the risk factors for asthma. Low economic status, the place of residence, living with mother, high education level of the parents, gender, high school record, obesity, drinking and smoking were the risk factors for allergic rhinitis. Low economic status, living with mother, high education level of parents, genderhigh school record, obesity and drinking were the risk factors for atopic dermatitis. We found that low socioeconomic status and unhealthy behavior were the risk factor for allergic diseases of Korean adolescents. Balanced economic growth in the community and controlling unhealthy behavior can help reduce the prevalence of allergic diseases.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between depressive symptoms and sociodemographic factors associated with geriatric depression and insomnia and to examine the effects of these factors on depression. Methods : The severities of insomnia and depression in elderly aged 60 and older lived in Gwangmyeong city were evaluated and the related sociodemographic factors were investigated. From April 20, 2016 to December 1, 2016, Gwangmyeong city Mental Health Sevices consignment by department of psychiatry of a university-affiliated general hospital conducted surveys and interviews for total 837 elderly peoples lived in Gwangmyeong city by visiting welfare center and wards located in the city. Structured interviews were conducted using Insomnia Severity Index(ISI) and Short form-Geriatric Depression Scale(S-GDS) to examine the relationship between sociodemographic factors and the severities of insomnia and depression. Results : There were significant differences in S-GDS mean scores and age(below 70 years old, 70s, 80s, above 90 years old), type of health care(health insurance, medical aid), type of residency(own, not own) and marital status(single, married, divorced or widowed).There was a significant difference in education level, especially between not educated(and/or) elementary graduates and college graduate(F=3.227, p=0.012). Also, there were significant differences in age, type of health care, type of residency, number of household on divided S-GDS score above and below 10 scores(p<0.05). Insomnia measured by ISI was not significantly associated with sociodemographic factors(p>0.05), but was significantly associated with depressive symptoms(p<0.05). These findings suggest more severe insomnia symptom indicated the higher probability of depression and elderly with depressive symptoms had more severe insomnia. Conclusions : Geriatric depression has significant relationships with age, type of health care, type of residency, marital status, education and number of households. In addition, insomnia which is main symptom of depression in elderly, has important role in predicting the severity and diagnosis of depression.

We designed this study for verifying the differences of causes and individual results of job stress between Koreans in Korea and Chinese in China of a same company. The results in the study are as follow. Significant differences between two groups were identified in job stressors: Koreans showed higher levels than Chinese for factors like inter-group conflicts, supervision/evaluation, job overload, task characteristics, socio-demographic factors, and Chinese showed higher levels than Koreans for factors like job conflicts, job ambiguity, family-related factors. We also identified that levels of stress perceived by individuals as anxiety, depression, and physical symptoms of Koreans are higher than those of Chinese. As to the influence of job stressors on stress level, Koreans show significant results for supervision/evaluation, decision making/responsibility, family-related factors, and Chinese show significant results for family-related factors, social support, socio-demographic factors. Based on the results of this study, implications, limitations, and future research topics were discussed.
