The demand for National Woodland Burial Grounds is expected to increase as interest in natural burial, including woodland burial, is increasing. This study was performed to provide evaluation criteria applying weighting factors to the evaluation for location selection. Through literature review, location selection evaluation factors for forest facilities, similar to forest welfare facilities, were reviewed and analyzed. As a result of the analysis, 74 preliminary evaluation criteria were selected. Based on the results, three expert groups (public servants in central and local governments and other public agencies in charge of forest welfare facility, related field researchers, and civil experts) reviewed the preliminary evaluation factors. Evaluation factors were classified into two categories, 6 sub-categories, and 22 segments. The selected evaluation factors were layered for the second preference survey. They were classified into Forest Environment and Human Environment, and those categories were further classified into three categories. Then they were further classified into segments. After segmentation, the experts who participated in the first survey checked the differences in the significance of the layered factors by utilizing AHP. The site evaluation criteria table was prepared using the evaluation criteria and the significance of each layer. In order to apply it to the candidate sites, 10 sites including the existing National Woodland Burial Grounds and 9 candidate sites considered in the previous studies were compared and analyzed including Ulju County Ulsan City, Suncheon City Jeollanam-do and Janggun-myeon Sejeong City.

The goal of this research is to understand the extent to which active seniors' mobile app usage level affects their lifestyle and life satisfaction. For this, we surveyed for 15 days in early December 2021 targeting about 150 users nationwide. As the questionnaire content, the independent variable was "mobile app usage level", the parameter was "lifestyle", and the dependent variable was "life satisfaction". As a result of empirical analysis, reliability and exploratory factors between each variable were verified, and it was confirmed that internal consistency was secured. It was investigated that the concentration validity of each item was generally well confirmed. As a result of hypothesis testing by the structural equation, 'App usage level ⇨ Lifestyle' was 0.244, 'Lifestyle ⇨ Life satisfaction' 0.707, and 'App usage level ⇨ Life satisfaction 0.141' was adopted. This study shows that the higher the level of mobile app usage of active seniors, the higher the lifestyle. Also, the better the lifestyle, the better the quality of life. It is analyzed that life satisfaction will improve as the level of mobile app use increases. Therefore, in order to improve life satisfaction, it seems necessary to increase the level of app use and lifestyle.

This study is to develop an evaluation index for infection control and to verify its validity by examining each set of weighted data collected from 121 infection control personnel at dental hospitals who agreed to the preliminary survey and advisory. The study was conducted from 14th December, 2010 to 31st January, 2011, and PASW Statistics 18.0 and AMOS 5.0 had been used for the statistical data analysis. As a result of the study, five evaluation factors with 21 sub-indicators have been identified at structural level, eight evaluation factors with 32 sub-indicators at processing level, and one evaluation fact with five sub-indicators at resulting level, total 14 evaluation factors with 58 sub-indicators throughout all levels. The path analysis added on the result that 'standard precautions ($x_1$)', 'infection control support system ($x_2$)', 'internal and external characteristics ($x_3$)' are exogenous variables that affect on other variables, and 'standard infection control ($y_1$)','Organization equipment management handwashing ($y_2$)', 'environmental infection control ($y_3$), 'personal protective equipment ($y_4$)', 'waste and laundry management ($y_5$)' are endogenous variables that are infulenced by others. The standardized metrics are more needed than anything else when examining on infection control. This study attempts to develop proper dental infection control metrics adequately adjusted for domestic circumstances, and therefore to contribute to effective systematic management and decision-making in infection control.

This study has been conducted at a time when Korean government continues to extend support for youth startups as part of its policy to create jobs and the focus moves from career and employment to youth startups with a growing interest in the field of youth startups. Against this background, this study aims to identify difficulty factors of youth startups in areas besides the Seoul Metropolitan Area, seek ways to overcome difficulty factors, and propose policy implications. To this end, this study set five criteria and 25 sub-criteria to evaluate the difficulties of youth startups by reviewing previous studies and conducting literature review, and performing brainstorming method. The empirical analysis of the evaluation criteria was performed, using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method, on youths aged 19 to 39 in Gunsan area. The analysis results showed that the largest difficulty factors facing local youths include business model establishment, business administration and management, and startup funding in the criteria. As for sub-criteria, the largest difficulty factors are market information acquisition, technology commercialization, project feasibility, technology development, and new market pioneering in descending order. Local youths have much difficulty about the process of turning a business item into a product and commercializing it. According to a comparative analysis by gender, men were a relatively high difficulty in commercializing business models than women. men were a relatively high difficulty in commercializing business models than women. On the other hand, women were higher than men in all factors (management management, entrepreneurship, improvement of entrepreneurship system, and improvement of entrepreneurship awareness) except for factors affecting business model. In addition, the factors of entrepreneurship were found to be relatively different among young people (college students, prospective entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs). In conclusion, it was suggested that in order to revitalize youth entrepreneurship in the region, it is necessary to actively resolve the difficulties of business model commercialization rather than entrepreneurship funds. In addition, it is necessary to strategically support customized entrepreneurship support and situational administrative services because gender and hierarchical difficulties are different than general solutions. This study presented practical priorities and derivation methods for the entrepreneurship difficulties faced by local youth, and suggested measures and improvements for vitalizing local youth entrepreneurship in the future.

Major cities have strengthened their efforts to improve the environmental function of the urban forest through aspects of quantity and quality. Yet, it is difficult to propose both long-term improvement and management policy direction continuously due to a lack of evaluating method that social needs could be reflected. After all, effective strengthening of the function of an urban forest, composed of social and biotic environments, is essential to create evaluation criteria. Such data reflects a quantity variation and identifies the distribution and habitation of biotic sources as well. An assessment of utilization possibilities presents such values as a green connectivity, an ecological healthiness, and usage and access opportunities. Consequently, this research was executed to create an urban forest sustainability index that proposes a management and policy direction based on the evaluation of quantity and quality aspects. This study was processed by the following steps: a degree of importance of ecological aspect, a sub-classification index choice, and an examination of adequacy. This research was conducted from premises that urban forest had another functions comparisons to a natural forest. As a result, a criteria of sustainability should be considered to evaluate an ecological aspect, as well as the social and management aspects regarding human disturbance. This research is designed to develop an evaluation index for ecological aspect. In order to evaluate the ecological healthiness of an urban forest, a vegetation index considers aspects of related rarity, damage possibility, naturalness, area, and diversity. In a wildbird index-related study, forest duration and area were selected. Finally, a variance analysis is presented, inclusive of stability, naturalness, diversity, potentiality, and possibility of wildlife inhabitation, which is indicative of an urban forest sustainability index.

이 연구는 지난 20여 년 동안 우리나라 환경교육의 활성화를 위하여 많은 연구자, 학교 교사, 환경단체 지도자가 제안해 온 과업을 다루고있다. 그것은 학교 안팎에 걸쳐 요람에서 무덤까지 환경교육이 체계적이고 지속적으로 이루어질 수 있도록 법적, 제도적 기반을 마련하는 것이다. 법제적 뒷받침이 환경교육의 활성화를 위한 충분조건은 되지 못하더라도 필요조건으로서 매우 중요한 의미를 갖고 있다는 점은 분명하다. 이 연구를 수행한 사단법인 한국환경교육학회는 국회환경포럼과 함께 환경교육진흥법(가칭) 시안의 개발과, 나아가 실질적인 입법화를 위해 노력하였다. 이를 위하여 먼저 우리나라에 이미 존재하는 도서벽지 교육진흥법, 특수교육진흥법, 산업교육진흥법, 영재교육진흥법, 과학교육진흥법, 유아교육진흥법, 이상 여섯 개의 교육진흥법을 분석하여 환경교육진흥법 시안 개발을 위한 시사점을 얻고자 하였다. 다음으로 외국의 환경교육 관련법에 대한 사례 연구를 진행하였다. 특히 미국의 경우 1970년 처음 환경교육법이 제정된 이후 몇 차례의 개정과 재승인 과정을 거쳐왔다. 미국에서는 1990년에 제정된 국가환경교육법의 재승인에 관한 공청회가 지난 2000년 여름 동안 개최되어 환경교육법의 필요성, 효과, 고려할 조항 등 본 연구에 중요한 참고 자료를 얻을 수 있었다. 본 학회의 다른 연구진에 의해 2001년 10월에 완료된 제2차 환경교육 중 ·장기 강화방안 연구의 결과물도 환경교육 활성화를 위한 시안에 담아야 할 내용과 방향을 결정하는데 실질적인 도움을 주었으며, 이를 토대로 연구진과 국회환경포럼의 환경교육활성화위원회의 위원이 윤독과 수정을 거쳐 시안의 타당성과 완성도를 높이고자 하였다. 작성된 시안에 대해서는 먼저 국내의 환경 또는 환경교육 관련 전문가에게 설문지를 보내어 의견 수렴을 하였으며, 이 과정에서 시안에 포함된 대부분의 항목에 대해 높은 찬성률을 보인 것으로 나타났다. 그밖에 설문지로부터 수정 ·보완 요청 사항을 정리하여 최종 시안을 작성하는데 반영하였다. 끝으로 10월 26일 국회 의원회관에서 개최된 공청회를 통하여 다양한 집단의 의견을 수렴하였으며, 공청회 동안 제시된 의견들을 반영하여 최종 시안을 작성하였다. 이러한 과정을 거쳐 작성된 환경교육진흥법 최종 시안은, 제1조 목적에서 제11조 환경교육연구의 진흥에 이르기까지 총11조로 구성되었으며, 환경교육사 자격증제 및 환경교육 프로그램 인증제 등 획기적인 전기를 마련할 수 있는 방안들이 다수 포함되어 있다. 특히 환경교육진흥법의 주무 부처를 환경부로 제안한 것은 기존의 교육 관련 진흥법들이 교육인적자원부를 주무로 하고 있는 것에 비해 매우 특기할 만 하다. 그 이유는 본문에서 밝힌 바와 같이 환경교육이 갖고 있는 특수성 때문이다. 환경교육진흥법의 주무 부처를 환경부와 교육인적자원부 중 어디로 하는 것이 바람직한가에 대해서는 연구진 내부는 물론 공청회에 참가한 사람들 사이에도 이견이 있었음을 밝혀 둔다. 끝으로, 이 연구에서 마련된 시안과 연구 결과가 최종적으로 속히 법제화가 되고, 우리나라 환경교육 진흥에 기여하게 되기를 바란다.

This is the report of a case study to describe the results of applying an evaluation tool for communication ability when performing core basic nursing skills in fundamental nursing practice education. The communication ability evaluation tool was constructed based on a literature review and expert advice. The tool was applied to test 94 students who were taking fundamental nursing practice courses from October to November 2019. As a result, five factors (self-introduction, eye contact, emotional support, information provision, and therapeutic touch) were derived as evaluable items of communication ability to be evaluated when performing core basic nursing skill, and were evaluated when performing core basic nursing skills to measure vital signs. The average communication ability was 3.96 out of 5 points. According to the rubric, 95.8% of all students attained 'medium' and reached their goal achievement level. The findings of this study are meaningful in providing an important basis for improving the performance outcome evaluation process and for constructing a systematic evaluation system in fundamental nursing practicum. Further studies to secure the validity and reliability of this communication ability evaluation tool and comparative studies with various evaluation tools are suggested.

Recently, as the number of facilities using chemicals is increasing, the amount of handling is rapidly increasing. However, chemical spills are occurring steadily, and if large quantities of chemicals are leaked in time, they are likely to cause major damage. These industrial complexes use information obtained from a number of sensors to detect and monitor leaking areas, and are used in industrial fields by applying existing fixed sensors to robots and drones. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a sensor placement method at the interface for rapid detection and response based on various leaking scenarios reflecting leaking conditions and environmental conditions of the chemical handling process. In this study, COMSOL was used to analyze the actual accident scenarios by applying the medium parameter to the case of chemical leaks. Based on the accident scenarios, the objective function is selected so that the velocity of each robot is calculated by attaching importance to each item of sensor detection probability, sensing time and sensing scenario number. We also confirmed the feasibility of this method of reliability analysis for unexpected leak accidents. Based on the above results, it is expected that it will be helpful to trace back the leakage source based on the concentration data of the portable sensor to be applied later.
