Eradication of endemic malaria was declared in mid 1980's in Korea, but the number of malaria cases has been oscillating for the past 10 years since the reemergence of the disease in early 1990's. The occurrence of malaria has been concentrated near the demilitarized zone(DMZ), and the regional characteristics of the disease are evident. Considering the spatial variations of malaria incidence across the high-risk areas, the hotspot of the disease, it seems that the occurrence of the disease is influenced by the natural and human environment in the region. Malaria is an infectious disease that is transmitted to humans by the bites of vector-mosquitoes carrying malaria parasites, and it depends on specific climatic and sociodemographic factors. Malaria transmission is highly climate-sensitive, and temperature is the most important component. In addition, human contacts with vector-mosquitoes and the distance between human residence and mosquito habitats are crucial conditions determining malaria incidence rates. The present study aimed to test a hypothesis that the spatial characteristics of malaria incidence depended on local climatic conditions, relative proportions of mosquito habitats, and the distance between mosquito habitats and human residence using meteorological and satellite-based land cover data.

The purpose of this study is to produce time-distance cartograms based on the various Korean transportation networks, and to analyze the spatial structure of time-distance accessibilities. For the purpose this study attempts to develop continuous area cartogram by utilizing Wolf's algorithm for creating contiguous cartogram in ArcGIS 9. The absolute physical space was transformed to the functional space indexed by time-distances along various transportation networks in Korea. We examined the differences in the time-distance accessibilities among transportation networks. This study makes a comparison between the spatial structure of time-distance accessibility of KTX network with them of existing railroad network, as well as with them of road network. In order to clarify the spatial structures of time-distance accessibilities, we restructured them on the time-distance circular diagrams and performing Multi-Dimensional Scaling analysis. Overall structure of time-distance accessibilities shows similar patterns: The time distances are shrinked a lot along the Seoul-Busan axis, while coastal parts, in particular the eastern part of the county, are shrinked relatively little via all transportation networks. The Road network affects significantly on the accessibilities of cities in Gangwon-do and Gyeonggi-do, while railway network affects on the accessibilities of cities in Jeolla-do and Gyeongsang-do in general. When we compared the time-distance accessibilities based on the 5 largest cities, Seoul appears as the most accessible city from/to all other cities in Korea. We can also find significant changes in the time-distance accessibility between KTX network and existing railroad network. Cities along the KTX network, in particular cities which has KTX stops, improved significantly in time-distance accessibilities.

With the foot-and-mouth disease problems emerging as a serious social issue, this study set out to analyze the problems with the current setting of preventive zones against epidemics and find ways to minimize damage through preventive measures. For those purposes, the study analyzed the outbreaks of the foot-and-mouth disease and assumed that the disease would be transmitted via vehicles along the roads based on the network map of national roads and boundaries among administrative districts to conduct network analysis. The analysis results were then used to estimate spread time, whose results were then categorized according to lineal road distance and actual road distance. Then lineal moving speed and actual moving speed on the road were obtained according to the national roads and administrative districts to analyze the problems with the current method of setting preventive zones against the foot-and-mouth disease. As for spread speed around the areas where the foot-and-mouth disease broke out, the average lineal spread speed was 53.9km/day, and the average spread speed on the road was 71.1km/day, which indicates there are problems with the current method of setting preventive zones against epidemics.

This study is an attempt to seek ways to revitalize the main streets in local city with regard to urban regeneration. It focuses on the case of Myeong-dong Fashion Street located in front of Cheonan Station, which recently lost its vitality. In order to explore causes of the decline and solutions for restore, this paper investigate the concerned urban area by approaching through three different aspects: physical and environmental aspects, social and economic aspects, historic and cultural aspects. In addition, the street visitors were surveyed on their visiting patterns, priorities and discontents about the components of street, and preferences for its restoring, etc. The investigation resulted in following findings and proposals. In physical and environmental dimension, it is needed to create legal incentives for encouraging local residents to develop their own district, and suggested to plan green space for relaxation and cultural arts space by using existing buildings, along with the expansion of public parking. In regard of social economic aspects, it is proposed to give each street specialized commercial theme. At the historic and cultural level, it is suggested to plan the pedestrian network which links the Fashion Street with surrounding historic elements.

On the framework of Tolman spacetime model, the caustics around a local perturbed region in redshift is due to the local expansion rate induced by a local density inhomogeneity in real space. We have compared the caustics in redshift space, which are analytically obtained, with the observed redshift-distance patterns of galaxies which are belonging to Coma and Perseus clusters. For the Abell density distribution model and polytropic density profiles which are well-fitting the optical and X-ray observations, respectively, the size of caustics which is defined by "turnaround radius" of a local density perturbed region should give constraints on the sizes and masses of rich clusters and give also a clue to understand the state of hot X-ray emitting gas.

AR은 VR과 달리 실세계 공간의 객체에 대한 서비스를 제공하므로 서비스 개발을 방해하는 많은 요인들이 발생한다. 이를 보완하기위해 비주얼 마커, SLAM, 객체인식 등 여러 AR 기술이 존재한다. 본 논문은 AR 기술 중에서 객체인식의 정확도 향상을 위해 지역가변 이진화(Local variable binarization)와 색상의 군집화를 사용해서 이미지에서 객체를 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 지역 가변화는 픽셀을 순차적으로 읽어 들이면서 픽셀 주위의 값의 평균을 구하고, 이 값을 해당 픽셀의 임계 값으로 사용하는 알고리즘이다. 픽셀마다 주위 색상 값에 의해 임계 값이 변화되므로 윤곽선 표현이 기존의 이진화보다 뚜렷이 나타난다. 색상의 군집화는 객체의 중요색상과 배경의 중요색상을 중심으로 유사한 색상끼리 군집화 하는 것이다. 객체 내에서 가장 많이 나온 값과 객체 외에 가장 많이 나온 값을 각 각 기준으로 색조와 채도의 값을 Euclidean 거리를 사용해 객체의 색상과 배경 색상을 분리했다.

미국의 열대저기압(tropical cyclone)은 강풍, 폭우, 해일 등의 위험을 동반하는 기후와 관련된 자연재해다. 여러 연구에 따르면 열대저기압이 동반하는 강우는 해안과 내륙지역에서의 홍수로 이어지며 인명피해 및 경제적 손실의 주원인인 것으로 조사되었다. 최근 열대저기압이 동반하는 강우와 해안지역에서 열대저기압의 이동 특성과 관련하여 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 또한, 열대폭풍(tropical storm)은 열대저기압에 비해 바람세기의 등급은 낮지만 비교적 많은 양의 강우를 동반하는 경우가 많았다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 미국 남동부에서 1979년부터 2021년 사이에 발생한 열대폭풍이 동반한 극한강우와 열대폭풍의 이동 특성을 관련지어 분석하였다. 열대폭풍 보다 높은 등급의 사상에 대한 이동 경로, 거리, 속도 등의 자료를 얻기 위해 HURDAT2를 이용하고, 열대폭풍의 이동과 중심반경에 따른 강우자료를 얻기 위해 NLDAS-2와 시공간분석을 수행하였다. 분석결과, 2000년도를 기준으로 과거기간(1979-2000년)과 현재기간(2000-2021년)에 대하여 열대폭풍의 해안과 내륙지역 이동에 따른 극한강우의 경향성과 변동추세 및 강우 특성을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 열대폭풍의 이동에 따른 극한강우의 특성을 이해하는데 유용한 정보로 활용될 것으로 예상된다.
