Korea is proceeding to aging society at much faster pace than other countries. To alleviate various problems (health, environment, social relationships, psychology and emotion, and financial problems) of the elderly caused by aging society, there has been increasing attention to social capital. This study investigated types of ways that the elderly at individual level are aware of social capital and the characteristic. In addition, factors that influence the types were studied. Data from 1060 elderly with the age of 65 and older were collected in Korea. Excluding missing data on variables used in the study, data of 960 elderly were used for analyses. K-mean cluster analysis was conducted to investigate types of elderly awareness on social capital at individual level. Multinominal logistic regression was used to find out factors of the types. K-mean cluster analysis resulted in three types of awareness on social capital among the elderly: (1) potential of social capital; (2) severance of social capital; and (3) wealth of social capital. Multinominal logistic regression resulted in that compared to potential of social capital type, when the elderly were younger, inclination of politics was more progressive, they did not have religion, they did not reside in rural, and they did not live in multiplex housing, the elderly were more likely to be in severance of social capital type. Also, when the elderly were women, had higher education and standard of living, were Christian, and did not reside in rural regions. they tended to be in wealth of social capital type. Based on the study results about awareness on social capital among the elderly and factors related to the awareness types, practical and political suggestions that promote social capital to solve problems of the elderly were provided.

Recently, there are high expectations of a society benefitting from a digital sharing economy. However, to establish a digital sharing economy, one needs to first create a reliable social structure. Transparency is recognized as the most important measure of value in not just politics or economics, but also in all domains of our lives. Although all nations strive to create "societies based on credit and trust," in truth, rigidity, irregularity, corruption, and inefficiency are widespread in all aspects of society. Thus, there is a growing interest in blockchain technology, also called the "second Internet revolution," seeking trust in digital environments, although it is difficult to obtain trust in such environments. However, the principles and methods of evaluating blockchain technologies are still unclear and not standardized. This study addresses the evaluation indexes such as transaction per second, maximum data size per one transaction, accuracy and blockchain technology application methods in the digital sharing economy and suggest ways to safely vitalize a blockchain-based digital sharing economy.

This study examines the formation and change of relational trust among Korean adolescents using indigenous psychological perspective. Among adolescents, we examine the basis of trust of their parents, friends and teacher and also their trust in people and institutions. A total of 968 adolescents (227 elementary, 284 middle school, 213 high school, and 244 university students) completed a questionnaire that contains the Relational Trust Scale developed by Kim and Park (2004a), Generalized Trust Scale developed by Yamagishi (1998) and a scale measuring trust of people and institutions (Kim, Helgesen & Ahn, 2002). The results are as follows. First, adolescents trust their parents due to their sacrifice, followed by their counsel and advice, dependability, consanguinity and respects. They trust their teachers due to their counsel and advice, followed by respect, sacrifice, and mutual trust. They trust their friends due to their advice, followed by empathy, mutual trust, dependability, friendship and sacrifice. Second, trust of their parents are highest among the elementary school students and lowest for the middle school students and lower for older age groups. The trust in teachers are highest among the elementary school students and lowest among the middle school and university students. In contrast, trust in friends increase from elementary school students to older age groups. Third, among trust in people and institutions, they are highest for parents and family and lowest for politicians and political parties. Except for trust in friends, trust of significant others and institutions (family, teachers, neighbors, company executives and politicians) is highest among the youngest age group and it decreases with older age group. Fourth, Yamagishi's generalized trust was highest among the older age groups (high school and university students). The patterns of results for relational trust and generalized trust is different and it points to the importance of understanding trust from the indigenous psychological perspective.

By analyzing a nationwide survey on Korean publics, this study examines the social determinants of public support for three types of scientific research-basic research aimed at pure knowledge, applied research toward industrial application, and research for social problem-solving which aims to enhance ordinary citizens' quality of life. The present study finds the differential effects of social- and political value orientations on the level of public support for respective types of research. As ones have more progressive in their subjective political orientations, they are more likely to support research for social problem-solving than other types of research, while conservatives tend to support basic research and those with neo-liberal ideology tend to support applied research. The Korean public also tends to perceive research for social problem-solving as a counter to basic research while it has been developed against the conventional emphasis on applied research in Korea. Also, the level of support for research for social problem-solving increases with the higher level of trust in scientific authority and expertise, while it has been developed against expertism and included public engagement in science as an important element. Finally, those who have lower income tend to support for research for social problem-solving than other types of research. The implications of these findings are discussed.

This article presents a historical account of media role in the transition and consolidation period of democracy. Despite the assumption that media plays a important role in the construction of democracy, it is less clear how the media can affect the process of political change itself. This article seeks to answer some of these question, based on the Mill's macro-social comparative 'method of difference' of Korea and Spain. It is widely agreed that both states achieve democracy through transaction from above(pacts). Media role, however, differs significantly in accordance with authoritarian legacies and civic representativeness of the pacts. Whereas Korean dailies is deepening given market oligopoly and prior practices after democratization, Spain dailies market entirely changed in both structural and spiritual respects. As a result, Korean dailies substantially lacks in civic representativeness as before, contrary to Spain. Spain television settled a sort of the external pluralism. Korean television is pursuing the BBC type of internal pluralism. In Korea, television is more commercial than Spain. Consequently, Spain media serve the consolidation of democracy more than Korea on the whole.

The purpose of this paper is to present a conceptual framework and a stage of development of trust building and to study the factors affecting on the trust building in economics space. Conceptual framework on trust building in economics space is combined of in the three approaches. The macro(structural and institutional) approach includes normative and regulative factors(laws, norms), and positionality in social and economic systems(beliefs, political ideologies, institutions). The meso(intersubjective) approach contains the personal fronts(expressive factors, social cues, significant symbols) and settings(physical space, intermediary such as technologies & knowledges). The micro(subjective) approach comprises the willingness(internalization of value) and calculation(risk and uncertainties analysis) of economic actors. According to sustainable cooperation among economic actors, trust building to the macro(structural and institutional) level, the meso(intersubjective) level, and the micro(subjective) level develop by stages. The factors such as long-term and repeated interaction, information sharing and reciprocity, interdependence and asset specificity, uncertainty, proximity, and culture & norm of corporate and formal institution are determinants on the trust building across economic actors in economic space.

The purpose of this study is provide appropriate arms control measures between South and North Koreas by comparing and analyzing the former proposals and agreements in the past and the current Moon Government's approach representing the 9.19 military agreement. For this, I established the most appropriate framework for analysis through comparing and analyzing the arms control theories. The policies of the past governments and of the current Moon Jae-in government are analyzed. The most highlighted characteristic was that the arms control policies were projected by not from the military confidence, but political confidence building measures or both concurrently. In conclusion, I suggested the strategies of projecting confidence building measures and arms control or disarmament in the process of projecting the peace settlement. Nonetheless, the most important point is that the policies of arms control and unification should be pushed ahead complementally.

1990년 동북아 23개 지역의 이산화황 총배출량은 14.7백만톤이었다. 이중 중국동북부가 81%, 한국이 12%, 일본이 5%, 그리고 북한이 2%를 배출하였다. 기본시나리오하에서 동북아지역의 이산화황 배출은 2020년에 40.5백만톤에 이를 것으로 추정되고 있다. 중국에서 배출된 장거리 월경성 대기오염물질은 한반도와 일본으로 이동하며 특히 산성강우는 중국으로부터의 이산화황 배출에 크게 영향을 받고 있다. 산성강우는 자연생태계와 농작물에 피해를 줄 뿐 아니라 인간의 건강에도 심각한 피해를 준다. 따라서 미래의 산성강우 피해를 줄이기 위해서는 자국뿐 아니라 인접국의 이산화황 및 질소산화물 배출도 함께 감소되어야 한다. 동북아지역 국가들은 경제발전단계 및 환경협력 논의에서의 우선순위가 다르기 때문에 가까운 시일내에 환경협력을 위한 다자간 협약을 체결하기는 어려울 것이다. 따라서 ESCAP, APEC 등 기존의 지역협력기구를 이용하거나 IBRD, ADB 등의 다자간 외부금융기관이나 공적개발원조 (ODA) 등을 통해 개선된 환경기준을 준수하도록 하고 지역환경개선을 위한 협력사업을 추진하는 것이 바람직하다. 또한 산성비와 관련한 동북아 환경협력은 과학적 조사를 통해 객관적이고 신뢰할만한 정보를 획득하는 것으로부터 시작하여 단계적으로 추진되어야 하며, 정치, 경제, 과학, 외교 등 여러 분야에 걸쳐 중앙정부 뿐만 아니라 지방정부와 NGO도 포함하는 다차원적, 포괄적으로 추진되어야 한다.

열화수신포에 있어서 확률론적 신뢰도설계 및 단순스트레스와 강도의 고장모형은 렌덤 수치들로 구성된 각 분포의 간섭(Interference) 확률에 의해 이루어진다. 현재까지 이러한 분포모형들의 신경도는 분석적, 수치적 또는 모의실험방법론학에 의해서 단일추정치를 계산및 해석하여 왔으나 현실적으로는 스트레스 강도함수 분포의 간섭구간에 있어서 그 렌덤 변수들에 대한 완전한 실제의 분포들을 파악하기란 너무 복잡하고 때로는 불가능하다. 이를 위해서는 신뢰도의 상·하한 결정으로 신뢰도설계를 하는 방법이 고려된다. 본 연구에서는 스트레스와 강도의 렌덤 변수들에 대한 중복부분(Overlapping tails) 내에 있어서 각각의 주어진 구간확률을 제약조건으로 하여 최적신뢰도 한계를 결정 및 설계하는 새로운 기법을 제시한다. 설계신뢰도의 최적상한 및 하한 값은 제공하기 위하여 비선형모형인 Quadratic programming optimization 기법을 이용하여 신뢰도분석관점에 입각한 특수구조모형을 설정하고 이에 대한 수치예를 들어 예증하였다.
