본 연구는 한국의 도시재생과 스마트 물 관리의 정책 분석을 위하여 도시재생과 스마트 물 관리의 등장 배경, 주요 현안 및 연계성을 모색하고 도시재생방안으로서 스마트 물 관리체계의 가능성을 검토하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 1950년대의 도시재건(Urban Reconstruction)과 1970~80년대의 도시재개발(Urban Renewal, Urban Redevelopment) 등의 정비 사업은 물리적 환경정비에 초점을 맞추었다. 그러나 1990년대 환경문제가 세계적 이슈로 등장하면서 교외지역 난개발 문제에 대한 대응책이 필요하게 되었고 도시의 물리 환경적, 산업 경제적, 사회 문화적 측면을 부흥시키는 도시재생 접근법이 출현하였다. 한국 정부는 2017년부터 시작한 '도시재생 뉴딜사업'의 일환으로 스마트 기술을 적용한 도시재생사업을 통해 스마트도시 선도국가 도약과 세계적 흐름에 부합하는 도시성장을 기대하고 있다. 1980년대 초 등장한 스마트 기술은 2000년대 들어와 스마트 도시, 스마트 인프라, 스마트 그리드 등의 분야로 확대, 진보하였다. 물 분야의 스마트 기술은 2009년 스마트워터그리드 이니셔티브(Smart Water Grid Initiative)의 발족과 함께 IBM, CISCO, Intel 등의 IT 기반 물 관리 워킹그룹 형성, Suez, Veolia, Siemens 등 수처리 기업의 스마트워터그리드 분야 진출 모색과 함께 발전하기 시작하였다. 이후 2012년 유엔 스마트 물 관리 포커스 그룹(ITU-T SG 5)의 스마트 물 관리 표준화 연구가 착수되었고 한국은 국토교통부 건설교통기술 연구 개발사업 중 하나로 스마트 물 관리 장기 연구 사업을 시작하였다. 스마트 물 관리는 수자원 및 상하수도 관리의 효율성 제고를 위하여 스마트 미터, 센서, 디지털지도제작 등 ICT를 이용한 차세대 물 관리시스템이라고 정의할 수 있다. 구체적인 대상 분야를 고려한다면 하천수, 우수, 지하수, 하폐수처리수, 해수담수 등 다양한 수자원의 관리, 물의 생산과 수송, 사용한 물의 처리 및 재이용 등 물 관리 전 분야를 포함한다. 그러나 스마트 물 관리의 용어와 개념을 처음으로 도입한 미국 등 선진국과 관련기업들은 스마트 물 관리를 '스마트 워터 미터, 센서, 첨단 모델링, 수문 지도제작, 스마트 관개농업, 자동화 로봇 등 다양한 기술을 통합적으로 운영하는 지능적인 수자원 관리를 위한 정보네트워크'로 정의한다. 일찍이 도시재생으로의 패러다임 전환을 실시한 영국 및 일본과 달리 한국의 도시재생은 개념, 구성요소, 범위, 사업방식 등의 여러 가지 측면에서 아직 형성단계에 있다. 또한 한국의 스마트 물 관리 논의는 개념정립 측면에서 심층적 논의가 거의 부재하였다. 기존의 논의들은 수자원 혹은 상하수도서비스 분야에서의 연구결과와 기술개발성과를 기계적으로 적용하고 확대하는 측면만을 부각시켰다. 그러나 이와 같은 스마트 물 관리에 대한 논의는 정보통신기술과 물 관리 서비스를 단편적으로 연결하고 적용범위를 제한할 수도 있다는 점에서 한계성이 있다. 본 연구는 국내외 문헌검토를 바탕으로 한국의 도시재생과 스마트 물 관리의 정책을 분석하고 지금까지 별개로 간주된 두 개념의 장점을 융합하여 향후 지속가능한 도시개발 사업으로서의 가능성을 검토하고자 한다.

Using multi-temporal KOMPSAT-3/3A high-resolution satellite images, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) for the area around the Fukushima daiichi nuclear power plant was determined, and the pattern of vegetation changes was analyzed. To calculate the NDVI, surface reflectance from the KOMPSAT-3/3A satellite image was used. Satellite images from four years were used, and the zones where the images overlap was designated as the area of interest (AOI) for the study, and by setting a profile passing through highly vegetated area as a data analysis method, the changes by year were examined. In addition, random points were extracted within the AOI and displayed as a box plot to quantitatively indicate change of NDVI distribution pattern. The main results of this study showed that the NDVI in 2014 was low within AOI in the vicinity of the nuclear power plant, but vegetated area continued to expand until 2021. These results were also confirmed in the change monitoring results shown in a profile or box plot. In disaster areas where access is restricted, such as the Fukushima nuclear power plant area, where it is difficult to collect field data, obtaining land cover classification products with high accuracy using satellite images is challenging, so it is appropriate to analyze them using primary outputs such as vegetation indices obtained from high-resolution satellite imagery. It is necessary to establish an international cooperation system for jointly utilizing satellite images. Meanwhile, to periodically monitor environmental changes in neighboring countries that may affect the Korean peninsula, it is necessary to establish utilization models and systems using high-resolution satellite images.

Over the past 20 years, Korea's number of international passengers and freight transportation records has increased by 8.6% per year, respectively. However, despite the development of sea lanes and increased voyages, there have been constant calls for improving the inefficient management of international passenger ports. Hence, this paper presents improvements and further directions for international passenger port management. Focusing on the Incheon International passenger port as a representative case study, the main results show that the most important, urgent, possible measures for improving the port management include (i) the expansion of customs personnel and implementation of a 24-hours customs clearance system in operation, (ii) installation of buffer facilities between the ferry and ferry cargo and establishment of hinterland specialized in car ferry freight in a facility, and (iii) clear standards for cost-bearing subjects and limitation of high cost related to terminal use in institution. These results imply the need for government policy access and investment reflecting stakeholder opinions at various levels, such as operation, facilities, institution, and so forth, for efficient management of international passenger ports.

Ultrasound transducers are an essential component of combined photoacoustic and ultrasound imaging systems and play an important role in image evaluation. However, ultrasound transducers are opaque; therefore, light must bypass the ultrasound transducer to reach the target point to produce a photoacoustic image. Providing different paths for the optical and acoustic signals results in a complicated system design, increasing the system volume. To overcome these problems, an optically Transparent Ultrasound Transducer (TUT) was developed. Unlike conventional opaque ultrasound transducers, optically TUT can be fabricated by a variety of manufacturing methods and they are suitable for use with specific piezoelectric elements and serve various purposes. In this study, a comparative analysis of the results of using Lithium Niobate (LNO), Lead Magnesium Niobate-Lead Titanate (PMN-PT), and Polyvinylidene Difluoride (PVDF), which are materials used in piezoelectric element-based TUT. LNO is a piezoelectric element widely used in TUT, and PMN-PT has been actively studied recently with a higher transmission and reception rate than LNO. Existing TUT have lower ultrasound resolution than photoacoustic resolution, but they have recently been manufacturing focused TUT with high ultrasound resolution using PVDF. A comparative analysis of the production results of these TUT was performed.

The ultimate goal of classification systems is to provide tools for information management and services through collocation of information objects in similar topics. The National Research Council for Economics, Humanities, and Social Sciences(NRCS) aims to organize the research products from 23 research institutes. To manage and organize the research products effectively, the standard classification system has been developed in conjunction of users' survey and the Business Reference Model(BRM). Although the standard classification system consists of users' perspectives and the aspects of organizational functions, there are limits to apply the system into classification practices. In this study, the proposed hybrid approach is to combine a clustering approach with 1,884 keywords from the titles of research products between 2007 and 2008. The clustering approach is performed in a heuristic way according to the KDC due to the lack of digital full texts of research products. The results of this study proposed a revised standard classification system for NRCS with 16 headings and 90 sub-headings. The revised standard classification system will play an important role in managing research products effectively.

An amendment to Medical Law allowing permanent face-to-face treatment has been proposed in the 21st National Assembly, with five different bills introduced. However, each proposed amendment focuses on different aspects, and the issue is currently in a state of 'ongoing review' due to factors such as opposition from the medical profession and political considerations. However, from the perspective that the introduction of non-face-to-face treatment should be institutionalized and legislated prioritizing patient safety, certain directions are proposed. These include focusing on returning patients as the primary target, chronic diseases as the focal conditions, outpatient medical institutions as the implementing agencies, restricting non-face-to-face means primarily to video systems, and legally exempting healthcare professionals from responsibility for incidents beyond their control. The proposed directions also emphasize establishing the right to demand face-to-face treatment. It is suggested to legislate initial standards that ensure a minimum level of safety and gradually expand the scope of non-face-to-face treatment through future research, evaluation, and similar step-by-step approaches.

This study aimed at effectively applying the IUCN category system to the protected areas in Korea. In addition, in order to change IUCN category of national parks to IUCN category II and to review the application of IUCN category classification key, a case study was conducted in Sobaeksan National Park. In order to apply the IUCN category system to the protected areas in Korea, a flexible approach appropriate to characteristics in Korea is required for management objectives of protected areas, including protection of wildemess, sustainable use of resources and preservation of cultural and traditional features. In addition, considerations of restrictions on use area and use districts, relative comparison of use types (visit, use of resources, residence) by IUCN category and use of combined classifications are necessary. Principles for the application of the IUCN category include (1)exclusion of wilderness protected areas (Ib), (2) extremely limited use regarding the sustainable use of natural resources(sum of natural preservation area and natural environment area is over 95%), (3) considerations of management conditions, including residential occupation level, (4) preservation of ecosystem services, and (5) use of combined classifications. In addition, in accordance with these principles, IUCN category classification key was suggested. When this was applied to the case study area, Sobaeksan National Park was classified as IUCN Category II and Taxus cuspidata community, which is designated as a natural monument, was classified to be Category Ia. Classification key suggested in this study may be used as basic data for applying categories in the future. Since detailed review on the practical improvement direction of laws and regulations and systematic alternatives, which are required before introducing IUCN category, are poor, in order to manage the protected areas efficiently by applying the IUCN category in the future, studies on management means appropriate to the conservation objectives of each category are necessary. This would allow management differentiated for each category.

KTX rolling stocks are a system consisting of several machines, electrical devices, and components. The maintenance of the rolling stocks requires considerable expertise and experience of maintenance workers. In the event of a rolling stock failure, the knowledge and experience of the maintainer will result in a difference in the quality of the time and work to solve the problem. So, the resulting availability of the vehicle will vary. Although problem solving is generally based on fault manuals, experienced and skilled professionals can quickly diagnose and take actions by applying personal know-how. Since this knowledge exists in a tacit form, it is difficult to pass it on completely to a successor, and there have been studies that have developed a case-based rolling stock expert system to turn it into a data-driven one. Nonetheless, research on the most commonly used KTX rolling stock on the main-line or the development of a system that extracts text meanings and searches for similar cases is still lacking. Therefore, this study proposes an intelligence supporting system that provides an action guide for emerging failures by using the know-how of these rolling stocks maintenance experts as an example of problem solving. For this purpose, the case base was constructed by collecting the rolling stocks failure data generated from 2015 to 2017, and the integrated dictionary was constructed separately through the case base to include the essential terminology and failure codes in consideration of the specialty of the railway rolling stock sector. Based on a deployed case base, a new failure was retrieved from past cases and the top three most similar failure cases were extracted to propose the actual actions of these cases as a diagnostic guide. In this study, various dimensionality reduction measures were applied to calculate similarity by taking into account the meaningful relationship of failure details in order to compensate for the limitations of the method of searching cases by keyword matching in rolling stock failure expert system studies using case-based reasoning in the precedent case-based expert system studies, and their usefulness was verified through experiments. Among the various dimensionality reduction techniques, similar cases were retrieved by applying three algorithms: Non-negative Matrix Factorization(NMF), Latent Semantic Analysis(LSA), and Doc2Vec to extract the characteristics of the failure and measure the cosine distance between the vectors. The precision, recall, and F-measure methods were used to assess the performance of the proposed actions. To compare the performance of dimensionality reduction techniques, the analysis of variance confirmed that the performance differences of the five algorithms were statistically significant, with a comparison between the algorithm that randomly extracts failure cases with identical failure codes and the algorithm that applies cosine similarity directly based on words. In addition, optimal techniques were derived for practical application by verifying differences in performance depending on the number of dimensions for dimensionality reduction. The analysis showed that the performance of the cosine similarity was higher than that of the dimension using Non-negative Matrix Factorization(NMF) and Latent Semantic Analysis(LSA) and the performance of algorithm using Doc2Vec was the highest. Furthermore, in terms of dimensionality reduction techniques, the larger the number of dimensions at the appropriate level, the better the performance was found. Through this study, we confirmed the usefulness of effective methods of extracting characteristics of data and converting unstructured data when applying case-based reasoning based on which most of the attributes are texted in the special field of KTX rolling stock. Text mining is a trend where studies are being conducted for use in many areas, but studies using such text data are still lacking in an environment where there are a number of specialized terms and limited access to data, such as the one we want to use in this study. In this regard, it is significant that the study first presented an intelligent diagnostic system that suggested action by searching for a case by applying text mining techniques to extract the characteristics of the failure to complement keyword-based case searches. It is expected that this will provide implications as basic study for developing diagnostic systems that can be used immediately on the site.

The purpose of this study is to prepare diverse measures to enhance the utilization of national authorized qualification. The detail objectives of this study are first, to re-establish the utilization scope and range of national authorized qualification through analysis of advance research and theory in various fields of learning on the function of qualification; and second, to set the direction to strengthen the utilization of national authorized qualification. Based on discussions on the various fields of learning on the function of qualification, this study divided the utilization scope of qualification into personal utilization for the benefit of the qualification acquirer him or herself and public utilization for the social and economic benefits. And according to this distinction, we prepared measures to strengthen the utilization of national authorized qualification. First of all, as a way to strengthen personal utilization of the national authorized qualification, we prepared measures to enhance accessibility and facilitate further improvement. As a means to enhance accessibility, we proposed restriction on setting the application condition, diversification of qualification authorization method, facilitation of partial qualification system and minimization of expense required to acquire qualification. Also for the further improvement, we proposed creation of job-level centered grade system and development of job-level centered qualification item by stage. For strengthening the public utilization of national authorized qualification, we come up with ways of strengthening flexibility, transparency, public trust and compatibility. As a way to strengthen flexibility, we proposed establishment of qualification demand monitoring system, expansion of direct participation of users on qualification management, establishment of qualification expiration period and its renewal. For the strengthening of transparency, we proposed to build general qualification information system and to utilize qualification recommendation system. To strengthen public trust, we proposed to strengthen the management of qualification management regulation, secure independency, establish internal audit system and strengthen post management of national authorized qualification. And lastly, we suggested that compatibility comparison standard between qualification and qualification level standard be developed for the strengthening of compatibility.
