The purpose of this study is to examine the environmental factors influencing the multicultural acceptability of adolescents, and to improve the multicultural acceptability of adolescents. This study seek to confirm family environmental factors, school environmental factors, community environmental factors on the multicultural acceptability of adolescents, and provide an alternative to increase the multicultural acceptability of adolescents. This study used data from the first grade of middle school in the Korean child and youth panel data, and a total of 2,278 data were used for analysis. The analysis was done by multiple regression analysis through SPSS 18.0. The results were as follows: the environmental factors shown to significantly affect the multicultural acceptability of adolescents were school factors, such as school adaptation, and community factors, such as community awareness and community consciousness. As a result, it was found that school adaptation, school environment factors, community awareness and community consciousness affect the multicultural acceptability of adolescents. These results suggest that the role of school environment and community environment is important for enhancing the multicultural acceptability of adolescents. In the school environment, various education and programs should be prepared, and in the community environment, it is necessary to strengthen the role of the community and community consciousness.

This study examines the effect of national identity and threat awareness on the multi-cultural acceptability and whether contact theory actually work. For the analysis, this study used '2013 Korea General Social Survey' data and compared two groups divided according to whether or not they live in ethnic places using structural equation modeling. The empirical analysis shows that national identity does not have a direct effect on multi-cultural acceptability, and threat awareness has a full mediating effect between national identity and multi-cultural acceptability. In addition, the negative effect of the threat awareness on multi-cultural acceptability was greater in groups living in ethnic places. The findings suggest that multi-cultural awareness education is necessary to reduce the threat awareness toward foreigners, and that community-level programs are needed to prevent and coordinate conflicts arising from contact between foreigners and Koreans.

The smooth construction and operation of nuclear facilities requires understanding and support of both the local residents and the national people. It is essential that our country, which should maintain using nuclear energy for national energy security and economic growth, shall improve the social acceptance of nuclear energy. In order to identify the level of social acceptance of nuclear energy, this study investigated the perception of the local residents in Gyeongju and the public in other areas on a nuclear power plant and a low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste disposal facility through an individual interview. The subjects of the investigation were 450 persons. This study identified that perceptions of the respondents were somewhat dependent on the residential area, and derived the implications to be reflected in establishing the customized public-relation strategies.

Recently, research on city gas demand is increasing by reflecting the characteristics of each region. The similarity of the social structure of the adjacent region and the density of the supply infrastructure induce spatial correlation with the clustering that has a microscopic relationship between regions. Accordingly, as a result of analyzing the spatial correlation after dividing the demand for city gas for civilian use into a total of 54 regions based on the jurisdiction of 34 city gas companies, it was confirmed that there was a positive spatial correlation from a global and local perspective. In this study, the demand for city gas for civilian use for 54 regions from January 2014 to December 2022 was composed of panel data, and the spatial panel regression analysis and the general panel regression analysis were compared, and it was found that the spatial error model (SEM) was the most suitable model. This presents policy and practical implications by confirming that the demand for city gas for civilian use in one region has a significant relationship with the adjacent region.

Accumulation of air pollutants such as $SO_2$ and HF, chlorophyll contents, wax concentrations in needle tissue and needle growth of Pinus thunbergii were studied to verify possibilities of bioindicators of air pollution in Yochon Industrial Complex from July to October, 1991. The concentrations of water-soluble sulfur and fluorine increased nearer to the pollution sources regardless of sampling time, but water-soluble sulfur varied little during investigation and fluorine accumulated more with the passage of time. Total chlorophyll contents decreased a little in the slightly polluted site but sharply in the heavily polluted site. The higher the pollution level was, the more decreased chloroform-extractable wax. Air pollution exposure inhibited needle growth of Pinus tbunbergii during the latter part of growth period. Water soluble sulfur, fluorine and wax concentrations in needle of Pinus thunbergii were rather wood sensitive indicators of susceptibility to ambient air pollution from early July to early October. Chlorophyll contents seemed to be able to be used as a bioindicator of air pollution in early stage of needle development and in the severely polluted area. In the meanwhile needle length must be used as a bioindicator in latter part of growing season.

This study suggests different improvement practices of adolescents' multicultural acceptability to compare the factors influencing multicultural acceptability with elementary and middle school students. The data used in this study come from the Korean Child and Youth Panel Study(KCYPS) of the National Youth Policy Institute(NYPI) comprising 4,092 responses from 5th grade elementary school students and 4th grade(middle school 2nd grade) of elementary school students. The study data were subjected to hierarchical regression analysis to give the following findings. First, Levels of Multicultural Acceptability were significantly different. Second, factors influencing multicultural acceptability for elementary school students and middle school students were different. Common factors were mother's education level, life's satisfaction, peer relationship, teacher relationship, and spirit of community. Factors for elementary school students's multicultural acceptability were subjective academic achievement, community awareness, experiences of cultural activity, and overseas visiting experiences. The factor for middle school students's multicultural acceptability was family/group travel experiences. Our findings highlight the importance of programs and education that are suitable for children's developmental level. Such peer group programs need to be offered for middle school students to achieve spirit of community and educational group program and various extracurricular activities to achieve community awareness and develop a spirit of community for elementary school students.

정보화 사회에서 관광 웹 사이트는 그 지역의 가치가 있는 관광정보를 제공하고, 관광객을 유치하는 마케팅 도구로서 그 역할이 중요시되고 있다. 또한, 인터넷 정보 수용자는 관광 웹 사이트를 매개로 하여 그 지역에 대한 이미지를 갖게 되고, 점차적으로 일정한 태도를 형성하여 결국 관광지를 선택하는데 영향을 받는다고 볼 수 있다. 지방 자치 단체의 홈페이지에서 관광 홍보가 매우 중요하다. 그 이유는 첫째 인터넷 외에 지역의 관광정보를 여행하기 전에 입수하는 것이 매우 어려운 상황이고, 둘째로, 인터넷을 통한 관광 정보 탐색이 대중화되고 있기 때문이다. 정보탐색은 지속적 탐색이라 표현할 수 있는데 잠재적 관광객이 관광 홈페이지를 매개로 하여 그 지역의 대한 이미지를 갖게 되고 그에 따라 관광지 선택에 영향을 받는다고 볼 수 있다. 하지만, 광역자치단체의 웹사이트 상에서 관광정보를 구축하여 제공할 때에 정보 수용자 측면보다는 개발자 측면 중심으로 이루어진 경우가 많이 있다. 그래서, 막대한 재정적 투자를 통해 개발된 관광정보가 수용자의 욕구에 다소 못 미칠 수 있다. 이에 관광정보 수용자들의 정보탐색 요인을 파악하여 개발할 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 또한, 관광정보 요구자가 관광정보를 탐색할 때 그들의 특성에 따라 관광정보 웹 사이트를 평가하는 기준이 다르게 나타날 수 있다. 이를 기반으로 대학생들이 개인의 특성에 따라 웹 사이트의 평가에 미치는 영향에 대해 분석하고자 한다. 설문지법을 사용하여 전남 D대학교의 관광학 전공, 경영학 전공, IT(정보통신)학 전공 학생을 대상으로 총 90부를 설문조사 하였으며, 각 전공별 학생들을 컴퓨터 실습실에서 1시간 동안 전남도청 관광 웹 사이트를 탐색하게 한 후 설문지에 응답하는 방식을 사용했다. 개인의 특성에 따라서 관광정보 웹 사이트 수용도 에서는 유흥성향과 외향-내향성 성향이 관광정보 웹 사이트의 수용도에 영향을 미친다는 매우 유의하다는 결과를 도출 할 수 있었다. 웹 사이트의 특성에 따라서 관광정보 웹 사이트 수용도 에서는 탐색의 편리성, 정보의 충실성, 정보의 질이 관광정보 수용도 유의적이라는 결과를 도출했다. 하지만, 대고객 서비스에는 관광정보 웹 사이트 수용도에 대한 영향이 유의적이지 못한 결과를 보이고 있는데, 이를 위해서는 사용자에게 개별서비스 제공을 함으로서, 동영상이나 각종 사운드, 사용자 편의를 위한 관련정보 다운로드, 사용자를 고려한 부과서비스를 제공한다면 웹 사이트의 성과가 높을 것임을 기대할 수 있다.

This study was conducted for the evaluation of air-pollution using pear plant. Twenty-three sites around the Ulsan Industrial Complex Area were selected for the study. The water soluble sulfur content, photosynthetic rate and the visible injured index of pear leaves were evaluated and the results are summarized as follows: 1. Water-soluble sulfur content of pear leaves at survey sites was shown to be an average of 0.201%. The content of their leaves at polluted sites ranged from 0.220 to 0.496%. Water-soluble sulfur content of the pear leaves decreased as the distance became far from the Industrial Complex. 2. The photosynthetic rate of pear leaves decreased with an accumulation of water-soluble sulfur content. However it increased as the distance became greater within the five-kilometer radius of the pollutant. 3. More than 60% of injured rate was shown in pear plant within the five-kilometer radius of the pollutant in 1993. There were high correlations between the visible injured index items. Compared with 1988, the most severely injured sites in 1988 were Yochon-dong and Yaum-dong. But in 1993, they moved to the Yongcham-dong and Bugok-dong area. 4. Water-soluble sulfur content of pear leaves was correlated with the photosynthetic rate of pear leaves. The same tendency was shown between water-soluble sulfur and total injured index. This method using pear plant will be applied to the evaluation of air pollution.

This study was carried out to investigate relationships between atmospheric $SO_2$ concentration and both soluble sulphur contents in the tree leaves and bark pH to test the possibility of using them as bioindicators for air pollution. Mt. Kwanak, Mt. Nam, Mt. Bukhan (located in Seoul) and Mt. Paldal (located in Suwon, Kyonggi-do) as polluted areas and Pyongchang, Kwangwon-do as an unpolluted area were selected for this study. Soluble sulphur contents in the leaves and hark pH of two tree species (Pines densiflora S. et Z. and Quercus mongolica Fisch.) were analyzed in May, August, and October, 1990 by $BaSO_4$ precipitation method and pH measurement, respectively. In both species, concentration of soluble sulphur in the leaves increased with increasing concentration of atmospheric $SO_2$ (correlation coefficient : 0.52). Soluble sulphur contents in the 2-year-old needles of Pines densiflora (0.170%) and current year leaves of Quercus mongolica (0.081%) in Mt. Nam in the center of Seoul were higher than those in unpolluted Pyongchang area (0.023% and 0.034%, respectively). Bark pH decreased with increasing atmospheric $SO_2$ concentration (correlation coefficient : -0.52). Bark pH of P. densiflora (pH 3.42) and Q. mongolica (pH 3.63) in Mt. Nam were lower than those in Pyongchang area (pH 3.94 and pH 4.93, respectively). Both soluble S content in the leaves and bark pH were recognized as suitable bioindicators for air pollution by $SO_2$. Especially, bark pH showed more sensitive response to air pollution by $SO_2$ than soluble S concentration in the leaves. The lowest concentration of soluble sulphur and the highest bark pH in August were considered to be due to heavy rain during the rainy season. Soluble S content in the leaves and bark pH were not significantly different at 5% level between the two species in polluted areas.
