고수동굴이 1973년의 종합학술조사 이래 관광지로서 개발된 이후에 동굴 주변의 상업지역이 어떤 특성을 갖고 있는가를 살피는 것이 본 연구의 목적이었다. 이를 위해 1996년 6월 11일 고수동굴 주변의 상점 46개의 경영주를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같이 요약될 수 있다. 첫째, 전체 상점 중 절반 이상을 차지하는 25개 업소들이 80년대에 개업하였고 90년 이후에 19개 업소가 상점을 개설했다. 둘째, 상점 경영 동기로는 고수동굴을 찾는 관광객이 많아 수익성이 높을 것으로 예상되어 상점을 개점했다는 경우가 절반 정도(47.8%)에 해당하고, 내 고향 자랑과 지역발전의 일환으로 개점한 경우와 관광사업 발전을 위해 개점한 경우가 20% 내외였다. 셋째, 고수동굴 주변 상점의 경영주들은 일반사업을 하다가 전직한 경우가 가장 많았고, 관광사업, 오락장 등을 포함하면 상업 종사자들이 전체의 48% 정도에 해당하여 상업관련 종사자들의 전업이 가장 많았다. 넷째, 상점의 규모는 90년대에 개업한 상점일수록 규모가 커지고 있고, 이것은 경영주를 제외한 종업원의 운영과도 관계가 있어 상점 규모가 클수록 종업원이 더 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 다섯째, 경영주의 학력은 고졸 이상의 고학력자들이 상점을 운영하는 경우가 많아지고 있어, 고수동굴만의 특성을 나타낼 것으로 기대된다. 여섯째, 상점의 업종을 구분한 결과 기념품점과 식당이 각각 37.0%, 34.8%로 많은 비중을 차지하고 있지만, 고수동굴이 다른 관광명소와 색다른 특성이 없어 관광객들의 구매욕구를 완전히 충족시키지 못하고 있다. 마지막으로, 대부분의 상점들(80.4%)이 일자리와 주거를 구분하고 있는 것으로 조사되었으나, 아직까지 절반 가량(52.2%)의 상점들이 다른 사람 소유의 건물을 전 ·월세로 임대하여 사용하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이상에서 살펴본 바와 같이 고수동굴 주변의 상업적 특성은 90년대에 들어서면서 자기 고장에 있는 관광자원을 내 고향의 자랑거리로 생각하고 이를 지역발전의 밑거름으로 활용하고자 하는 인식이 늘어나고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그러나, 관광지로서의 특성이라 할 수 있는 다른 관광동굴과의 차별성이 부족하다고 할 수 있다. 즉 다른 지역의 기념품점에서 구입할 수 없는 고수동굴만이 갖고 있는 특징적인 기념품을 판매함으로써 관광객의 구매욕구를 높인다거나 고수동굴의 일주관광 후 관광객을 좀 더 머무르게 할 수 있는 시설의 개발이 더 필요하다.

Technology-driven innovation and job-creation has each been the subject of much scholarly attention, but have largely been considered separately rather than in conjunction with each other. While the previous literature on economics pinpointed the macro effects on industry-level, this study explores the micro-level comparisons on innovation sources over the employment and financial performances. The PSM (propensity-score matching) analysis presents that firms, involved in an inward technology, tend to have higher employees with dominant technology capabilities than in-house R&D firms. The in-house R&D firms, on the contrary, have superior financial performances, suggesting that external technology commercialized firms suffer from low transformative efficiency. The mediation test analysis corroborates that the external technology-driven innovation induces more human resources in internalizing the exogenous technology. The positive relationship between R&D innovation and employment allow verification of the government's intervention in the promotion of technology commercialization in public sector. On the other hand, it also signals that the policy needs to enhance the recipient firms' commercializing capacity rather than a 'one-hit' transaction.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the performance of New Deal under the New Labour government in Britain and examines the nature of New Deal with respect to workfare. The time difference of five years after the New Deal was put into effect shows that New Deal has contributed not only to include the socially excluded groups such as the young unemployed, the long-term unemployed, single parents, and the disabled into the labour market, but also to decrease the amount of income-based benefits providing for working generation. It can be said that the nature of New Deal under the New Labour is near to human capital development model rather than labour force attachment model. New Deal provides the opportunity of policy learning for the countries which pursue the reform of social security system to moving welfare beneficiaries being able to work into jobs. Policy learning can be summed up as follows. First, imposing mutual responsibility and obligations on unemployed person should be accompanied by implementing active labour market programmes of education and job training. Second, the delivery system which administrates workfare programmes should be decentralized in a local society. The cooperation between local government and enterprisers will be critical in implementing various employment programmes and moving unemployed person into jobs. Third, the case management for individual participating in workfare programme is necessary. The personal adviser should continue to provide employment services for the unemployed until he or she get a job and enter the state of self-reliance. Finally, the workfare programme should be firmly backed by the political leadership in order to overcome the oppositions of beneficiary groups under the existing social security system.

This study aims to evaluate the efficiency in the provision of employment services for the middle-aged by using spatial analysis in GIS. Based on location information of employment service institutions, we find service areas of the institutions and calculate regional rates of duplication and exclusion in terms of spatial coverage of the employment services. Taking into account potential demand for employment services, the regions with high priority in the provision of the services are identified. Among the regions, those with high exclusion rate of the services are designated as the regions of insufficient service level. Results indicate that Namyangju-si is a representative region of insufficient employment service level. To improve efficiency in the provision of employment services, we suggest to relocate employment service institutions that have been located in a region of high duplication rate such as Siheung-si, Danwon-gu, Gangnam-gu, Songpa-gu into the locality of Namyangju-si.

The study aims to explore the possible link between lifelong education and local education·training projects to enhance vocational skills. To this end, we first looked at vocational training in lifelong educational institutions. We looked at the areas of lifelong education presented by the Lifelong Education Act and the status of job improvement in them, as well as the actual number of learners across the country. Next, we looked at local education training projects. In this case, We investigated the significance and type of education·training projects, and identified the number of programs and the number of learners. Looking at them, we looked for five possibilities the possible link of between vocational abilities and educational·training projects. The five were to strengthen employment related lifelong learning of the economically inactive population, to strengthen lifelong education related to the underprivileged people, to enhance vocational skills for lifelong education centered on the employed, to utilize lifelong education institutions and universities in the region, and to strengthen the role of local governments to guide local job demands and suppliers.

The purpose of this study is to examine the motivational factors of university graduates participating in 'Youth Technology Transfer Specialist Training Project(Youth TLO)' by applying Vroom's expectancy theory. Moreover, it is verified that the effect of actual participation behavior and individual performance improvement for the university graduates in Gyeonggi-do, Busan regions. The motivation factors were consisted of valence, instrumentality, and expectancy. An empirical analysis was conducted of the effects on the verification of the demographic characteristics of the target, the behaviour of personal business participation in the Valence and Force model, and the improvement of performance. Three results were inferred from 322 collected data as follows; First, comparative analysis about expectancy, which related to work experience, according to demographic characteristics such as gender, residence, age, and employment period revealed no significant differences in mean value, except career duration. Especially, the university graduates in 'Youth TLO' who had internship experience had the highest level of recognition for the expectancy. Second, both of valence and force model had influence on participation behavior and performance improvement. Notably, determination of coefficient for the valence model were higher than those for the force model. Third, level of mediation effects for the valence model were higher than those for the force model in respect of direct, indirect, and the total. Moreover, it was verified that the three motivation factors could improve individual performance and participation behavior had partial mediation effect.

Since small and medium-sized enterprises fell short of the securement of technological competitiveness in the field of big data and artificial intelligence (AI) field-core technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, it is important to strengthen the competitiveness of the overall industry through technology commercialization. In this study, we aimed to propose a priority related to technology transfer and commercialization for practical use of public research results. We utilized public research performance information, improving missing values of 6T classification by deep learning model with an ensemble method. Then, we conducted topic modeling to derive the converging fields of big data and AI. We classified the technology fields into four different segments in the technology portfolio based on technology activity and technology efficiency, estimating the potential of technology commercialization for those fields. We proposed a priority of technology commercialization for 10 detailed technology fields that require long-term investment. Through systematic analysis, active utilization of technology, and efficient technology transfer and commercialization can be promoted.

The purpose of this study is to verify the structural path differences among the quality of self-sufficiency services and the job satisfaction and the effectiveness of self-sufficiency. To fulfill this purpose, all data for this analysis were collected from participants who belongs to the 31 local self-sufficiency centers in Seoul. The findings are as follows. First, we found that there were no statistically significant differences among the groups of the quality of self-sufficiency services and the job satisfaction and the effectiveness of self-sufficiency according to the type of self-sufficiency program. This means all the same degrees of effectiveness that participants of social employment program and market type program and self-sufficiency community was perceived. In addition, although there were no statistically significant differences among the groups of the quality of self-sufficiency services and the job satisfaction and the effectiveness of self-sufficiency according to the type of self-sufficiency program, we found that the differences among groups existed partially with theoretical model established in this study. Through the above results, the policy limitation and suggestion were presented about effectiveness of current self-sufficiency.
