Purpose: The risk of disaster from extreme weather events is increasing due to the increase in occurrence and the strength of heavy rains and storms from continued climate change. To reduce these risks, emergency weather information customized for the characteristics of the information users and related circumstances should be provided. Method: A first-stage emergency weather information delivery system has been developed to provide weather information to the disaster-risk area residents and the disaster response personnel. Novel methods to apply artificial intelligence to identify emergencies have been studied. The relationship between special weather reports from meteorological administration and disaster-related news articles has been analyzed to identify the significance of a pilot study using text analytic artificial intelligence. Result: The basis to identify the significance of the relations between disaster-related articles and special weather reports has been established and the possibility of the development of a real-world applicable system based on a broader analysis of data has been suggested. Conclusion: Through direct alert delivery of weather emergency alerts, a weather emergency alert system is expected to reduce the risk of damage from extreme weather situations.

The aim of this article is to analyze problems of the government-led region-based business-university-research institute collaborations(BURIC) in Korea and to present main issues for solving and improving the current 'cul-de-sac' of these collaborations. The main problem of such collaborations is the wider divergence of opinions by actors who implement projects of the BURIC funded by the central and local government. Due to this problem, each region, mainly the non-Seoul metropolitan region, in Korea has problems of the system and people for BURIC. Within this context, main issues of the government-led and region-based BURIC is focused upon BURIC for the start-up of self-employment and the expansion of companies' lifespan. Since 2000, experts and policy-makers have emphasized business- (or company-) centered BURIC rather than University-focused one. This point of view should be improved or corrected. That is to say, policies of BURIC are in need of focusing upon the start-up for self-employment and the expansion of companies' lifespan.

The data mainly used for the model are as follows: the personal information, the information of insurance product, etc. With the data, we suggest three types of models: content-based filtering model, collaborative filtering model and classification models-based model. The content-based filtering model finds the cosine of the angle between the users and items, and recommends items based on the cosine similarity; however, before finding the cosine similarity, we divide into several groups by their features. Segmentation is executed by K-means clustering algorithm and manually operated algorithm. The collaborative filtering model uses interactions that users have with items. The classification models-based model uses decision tree and random forest classifier to recommend items. According to the results of the research, the contents-based filtering model provides the best result. Since the model recommends the item based on the demographic and user features, it indicates that demographic and user features are keys to offer more appropriate items.

The rapid development of digital media has led to a swift transition of video content consumption to new media channels. Terrestrial broadcasters that have expanded their strategies to include YouTube channels have achieved significant success, even to the extent of restructuring their revenue models. Based on these successful examples, local terrestrial broadcasters have been striving to expand their presence on YouTube. However, the results have been modest thus far. This study examines how terrestrial broadcasters in Gwangju are utilizing YouTube and employs Q methodology to analyze the audience preferences for their YouTube content. The analysis identified three types of audience preferences: "Trend-Sensitive," "Emotionally-Focused," and "Regionally-Attached." Tailored content creation strategies were proposed for each type. This approach not only provides practical guidelines for establishing YouTube strategies for Gwangju's terrestrial broadcasters but also helps to develop policies for producing sustainable and evolving high-quality content in the new media era.

As the economic, social, and environmental problems of the local community reach a serious level, our society is realizing the need to foster young talents who discover opportunities in local issues through entrepreneurship education and create social values through creative challenges. However, entrepreneurship education programs are generally focused on commerciality, so customized education programs to solve regional problems are insufficient. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a community problem-solving entrepreneurship curriculum. In this study, a competency based curriculum model was applied to develop the curriculum, and regional problem-solving entrepreneurship competencies were derived through expert advice from a total of 10 people. In the process, the Delphi methodology was additionally used to reduce the possibility of errors in the competency model. As a result of the study, a total of 23 regional problem-solving entrepreneurship competencies were confirmed, and knowledge(K) - skill(S) - attitude(A) by competency consisted of 5, 9, and 9, respectively. By applying this to Dunham's problem-solving six-step model, modular learning support measures were developed in the order of phase 1(problem discovery), phase 2(problem analysis), phase 3(plan), phase 4(measure), and phase 5(evaluation). This study is meaningful in that it integrated theory and practice by developing specific entrepreneurship curriculum and learning support measures based on the theoretical model devised in social welfare. In addition, it has implications in that it developed a regional problem-solving entrepreneurship competency model based on expert advice and proposed a specific curriculum based on this.

제주 지역은 대부분 지하수를 이용하고 있으며, 제주 서부지역의 경우, 지하수의 과다한 취수로 인해 지하수 하강은 물론 해수침투현상도 나타나고 있다.(제주미디어 2009.10) 제주지역의 지하수 적정 개발량은 약 97%에 이르고 있어 국지적으로는 지하수 개발이 한계에 이른 것으로 평가된다. 따라서, 농촌용수 공급을 위한 사업이 필요하며, 농업 환경 피해를 최소화할 수 있는 방안이 필요하다. 또한 농촌지역의 도시화에 따라 하수처리장의 농촌지역에도 늘어가고 있으며 이제는 농촌지역과 도시지역이 구분되지 않고 혼합되어 있는 형태로 발전하고 있기 때문에 과거의 농업활동도 변화되고 있으며, 하천에서 취수하는 용수중에서 농업용수로의 사용이 부적합한 용수가 취수되고 있다. 따라서 하수처리수의 농업용수 재이용시스템과 같이 수처리를 이용한 농업용수의 공급방안이 확대될 것으로 판단된다. 한국농어촌공사 농어촌연구원에서는 (주)필로스, (주)블루인바이로먼트엔텍과 함께 글로벌탑 환경기술개발사업의 과제를 수행하고 있으며, 본 연구를 통하여, 고내구성 고기능성의 복합막 기능이 부여된 UF/NF 분리막 소재 및 모듈을 개발하고 전기분해/오존조합에 의한 에너지 절약형 재이용수 공정기술을 개발하여, 판포하수처리장을 Test-bed로 선정하여 개발 기술을 적용하고자 한다. 제주도 한경면 판포리에 위치한 판포하수처리장은 하수재이용 사업을 통해 수처리 및 용수 공급 관로가 설치되어 있으며, 개발한 재이용수를 현지에서 공급 활용할 수 있어, 연구개발에 국한되지 않고 실증 플랜트에서 용수 사용자까지 연결이 가능하여 최적의 입지 연건을 가지고 있다. 개발될 시스템은, 유입조, ECR 반응조, AOPs, 나노버블을 이용한 막세정 시스템, UF/NF 시스템으로 공정이 설계되며, 제염처리는 물론 제주지역의 농업용수로써 안정적인 용수를 확보할 수 있는 시스템을 구축하고 있다. 본 연구개발을 통한 최종 목표는 하수처리장의 방류수 고도처리를 통해 도시, 농촌지역에 필요한 고품질 맞춤형 재이용수로 공급하고, 국내 외 하수 재이용시장으로 진출하는데 있다.

Objective: This study was to evaluate the effectiveness of an individually tailored program based on self-measurement of blood glucose on health behavior and HbA1c in diabetes and pre-diabetes patients. Methods: The program consisted of seven sessions for 12 weeks which were carried out every two weeks. Almost all sessions were progressed on untact method except for the first and last session. The 71 subjects were assessed for their knowledge of diabetes, health behavior, the experience of self-measurement of blood glucose, body mass Index (BMI) and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) at before and after the program. They were also evaluated on their degree of utilization of blood glucose measurements after the program. Results: Each mean score on their knowledge of diabetes, health behavior and the experience of self-measurement of blood glucose was significantly increased from 14.77, 25.50, and 2.70 to 15.41, 28.40, and 4.81, respectively. Each mean score on both BMI and HbA1c (n=53) was significantly decreased from 24.47kg/m² and 7.27% to 24.01kg/m² and 6.67%, respectively. The post-HbA1c had a significant negative correlation(r=-0.415) with the degree of utilization of blood glucose measurements. The degree of utilization of blood glucose measurements had a significant positive correlation(r=0.581) with post-health behavior. Conclusions: The program shows effectiveness in improving HbA1c in Type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetes patients. The post-HbA1c might be related to the degree of utilization of blood glucose measurements which might be related to the health behavior.

The purpose of this study is to verify qualitatively and quantitatively practitioners' perceptions of functions and roles of community child center which plays a pivotal role in afterschool care in Korea. To achieve its purposes, we investigate environments, services, workers, service users, and delivery systems of community child center. As a result, 4 types of perception of community child center(service integration-oriented type focusing on professional workers, care-oriented type based on child care center's physical environment, delivering service-oriented type working in collaboration with schools, and individual case management-oriented type) were examined. These results were also classified into two categories. One focused on the importance of workers and supports for service environments. The other focused more on the functions of community child center to find commonality and originality in other afterschool care systems. This study can be valuable in understanding practitioners' different perception on functions and roles of community child center which have not yet been confirmed statistically. The results allow us to apply diverse practitioners' perceptions to the practice, and to elicit discussions regarding improved practice directions for managing community child center. It also can provide useful baseline data in policy decisions and enforcement.
