Health Impact Assessment (HIA) in Korea is conducted for specific development projects within Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) system. However, as HIA is being carried out in the implementation stage of the development project, it sometimes has failed to take proper actions despite the significant adverse health impact. Considering an environment conflict regarding adverse health impact in developing industrial complex and the current application of HIA in EIA system, it is necessary to come up with an adequacy evaluation in the industrial complex development considering health impact. This study proposes an adequacy evaluation method considering health impact for the industrial complex development and embodies the method by applying it to actual cases. Referring to methodologies of US EPA's CalEnviroScreen 3.0 and US ATSDR's Public Health Assessment, this study proposed using indicators divided by community characteristic, background exposure and development burden as an adequacy evaluation method to consider health impact. Five indicators for community characteristic, three indicators for background exposure and seven indicators for development burden were selected through literature survey, and the weights for each indicator were calculated through Analytic Hierarchy Process's survey of experts related to HIA. Through a pilot application in the three government-led industrial complex development projects, the method was further elaborated by clarifying the evaluation data and subdividing the evaluation criteria for each indicator. Adequacy criteria of plan considering health impact could be presented in three ways to be linked to the government's policy stance on the industrial complex development criteria of total score, criteria of total score and community characteristic score, and criteria of total score and community characteristic allowed by development burden.

Science and technology (S&T) is one of the most important elements in a nation's competitiveness. In an effort to strengthen their national competitiveness, all countries are focusing on upgrading the level of eir S&T. With these factors in mind, Korea has increased its support of national research and development (R&D). In recent years, this added support has resulted in an increased interest in the effectiveness of R&D. We have made continuous efforts to enhance the accountability and effectiveness of R&D by strengthening performance evaluation and considering R&D evaluation results during the budget review (appropriation) process. In order to change to a performance based system, we need to develop objective and scientific indicators to measure and evaluate the quality of the research performance of R&D programs. One of the primary research outcomes is publications. The impact factor of publications is widely used to evaluate overall journal quality and the quality of the papers published therein. However, the use of impact factors has been criticised because they can vary greatly when works from different subject areas are compared. In order to overcome this limitation, we have developed three kinds of qualitative indicators, which are functions of the impact factor. Two of these qualitative indicators, Modified Rank Normalized Impact Factor and Ordinal Rank Normalized Impact Factor, are based on order statistics (rank) for all journals from a specific specialty. The third qualitative indicator, Relative Field Impact Factor, uses the average impact factor of all journals within a subject category. We also suggest a quantitative indicator, Percentage of Contribution. In this study, we suggest 4 indicators and use them to evaluate the performance of outcomes from three R&D programs supported by the Ministry of Education, Science & Technology. We also perform a simulation study to verify the effectiveness of the proposed indicators. It can be shown that the proposed Ordinal Rank Normalized Impact Factor is the most reliable and effective indicator for comparing research performance across subject categories. However, we recommend using previous indicators in combination with the proposed indicators in this study for the research evaluation of R&D programs.

This study purports to examine the potential determinants of welfare attitudes of Korean Youth. In a sense, this study could be considered as exploratory since the independent variables for model are chosen in a somewhat arbitrary manner. The independent variables are mostly value orientation of Youth. The welfare attitude is measured by the question asking respondent's nonnative idea on the primary care-giver in the old age. Data has been collected by National Youth Policy Institute as a part of research project, named "Korean Youth Development Indicators". The analysis shows that the welfare attitudes of Korean youth is influenced. by a number of factors. such as parent's education, a proxy for the parents' SES, attitude toward equality. and state's responsibility in general. The author contends that although this is an exploratory kind of study, this study contributes not only to the research in the field, hut also to the welfare policy-makers by providing generalizable outcomes on the value and attitudes of Korean youth on welfare issues. After all, policy needs public supports to be sustained.

This study propose a model for railway safety evaluation with which the safety of whole railway system can be evaluated. The evaluation model is to generate a safety index which quantitatively represent the degree of railway safety. Safety index is proposed a function of three indexes; an accident index, safety management index, and safety culture index. This paper describes the first result from the study on the safety target which will be a key starting point toward the development of safety evaluation model. It is recommended that the safety target be composed of several sub-targets that are apportioned to constituent components. It is coneluded that the classification of safety target influence on deciding components or attributes that constitute each sub-indexes; an accident index, safety management index, and safety culture index.

In this paper the concept of the performance-based logistics (PBL) support for weapon systems is discussed and an enhancement is studied such that prior to the Operational phase, the development of the PBL can begin from the Engineering & Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase together with multiple performance indices considered. The genetic algorithm should be considered for the complex system to solve the maintenance policy optimization. In particular, the requirement of repair level analysis model is developed based on reflecting the PBL concept. To decide the maintenance policy prior to Operational phase in accordance with customer requirements, the PIDO(Process Integration and Design Optimization) technique useful in choosing the performance indices and changing the constraints was used. The genetic algorithm of PIDO tool, like PIAnO and ModelCenter, was verified that it could be applied to optimize the maintenance policy.

기후변화의 영향으로 인하여 가뭄의 발생이 잦아지고 그 기간은 늘어나고 있다. 특히 2015년에는 충남 서부 지역에 제한급수가 실시되는 등의 피해가 발생하였으며, 올해에도 일부 지역에 가뭄 피해가 예상되고 있다. 이에 따라 가뭄에 대비하기 위한 방안의 하나로, 해수담수화 및 지하수와 같은 대체 수자원 개발의 요구가 높아지고 있다. 특히 지하수의 경우에는 단기간에 최소한의 비용으로 안전한 용수(用水)를 확보할 수 있다는 측면에서 그 효용성이 높다. 그러나 지하수 역시 지표수와 마찬가지로 한정된 자원이며 생성과정에 상당한 시일이 걸린다는 점을 고려할 때, 그 활용을 위해서는 다음과 같은 정책적 고려가 필요해 보인다. 우리나라 지하수는 개별법에 따라 5개 중앙부처 및 지자체에서 소관업무별로 관리하고 있어, 체계적 관리와 자료의 통합 연계에 어려움이 있다. 또한 기본법 성격을 지닌 "지하수법"에서도 지하수 관리 등에 대해 다른 법률에 특별한 규정이 있는 경우에는 해당 법률에 따르도록 규정하여(법 제4조), 합리적 제도 개선에 한계가 있다. "온천법" 등 타법에 의한 지하수 개발 이용관련 인허가 사항을 "지하수법"으로 일원화하여 기본법으로의 역할을 강화하고, 지역별 사업별 관리는 개별 계획을 수립하도록 하는 등 체계적인 지하수의 개발 보전 정책이 필요하다. 국내 지하수 사용은 주로 관정(管井) 개발을 통해 이루어지는데, 무분별한 신규 관정의 개발은 지하수 고갈, 지반침하(sink hole)와 더불어 지하수의 수질 악화를 야기할 수 있다. 관정 개발의 실패로 발생하는 실패공은 노후 관정 및 폐관정과 더불어 방치되는 경우가 많은데, 오염물질 유입으로 지하수를 오염시키는 주요 원인으로 작용한다. 오염된 지하수는 지표수에 비하여 수질을 복원하는데 오랜 시일과 노력이 필요하므로, 사용하지 않는 불용공(不用孔)을 원상 복구하는 등 지하수의 개발에서 사후조치에 이르기까지의 체계적인 관리가 필요하다. 국토교통부는 지하수에 대한 체계적인 관리를 위해, '지하수 기초조사', '지하수 수위변동 실태조사' 및 '지하수시설 전수조사'를 실시하고 있다. 그런데 지하수 기초조사는 "지하수법" 제5조에 근거하여 1997년부터 실시되고 있으나, 예산 및 인력 부족 등으로 20여년이 지난 지금까지도 조사가 마무리되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 한편 지하수 수위변동 실태조사는 "지하수법" 제17조 등에 근거하여 시행되고 있는 반면, 지하수시설 전수조사는 근거 법률이 마련되어 미비하다. 지하수시설 전수조사는 전국의 모든 관정, 집수정(集水井), 지하댐(underground dam) 등의 지하수 시설을 대상으로 실시되므로, 조사의 방법, 대상, 시행 절차 및 주기 등에 대한 규정 마련을 통해 관련 자료를 지속적으로 보완 관리할 필요가 있다.

Purpose: In this study, potential demographic, social, and economic factors causing tuberculosis were identified, and eight cities in South Chungcheong Province were compared and analyzed with the IPA method. Method: The factors potentially affecting the prevalence of tuberculosis were categorized demographically, socially, and economically, and selected through brainstorming. Furthermore, potential factors affecting tuberculosis were derived using the revised IPA. Based on this analysis, areas with a potential risk of tuberculosis were classified, and the following policy implications were suggested. Result: The analysis found the three cities of Nonsan, Boryeong, and Gongju to have the highest potential risk of tuberculosis, and the frequency of potential risk factors in the above three cities to be 6 or more. Thus, an urgent policy response to prevent tuberculosis in these regions is required. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, it is necessary to take potential risk factors into account when promoting tuberculosis prevention policies and projects in South Chungcheong Province.
