This study reviewed and compared methods for mapping aggregated low birth weight (LBW) and geographic variations in LBW in South Korea. Based on this review, we produced LBW maps in South Korea. Standardized mortality/morbidity ratios (SMRs) and crude mortality rates have been widely used for many years in epidemiological research. However, SMR-based maps are likely to be affected by sample size of unit area. Therefore, this study adopted a model-based approach using Bayesian estimates to reduce noisy variability in the SMR. By using a Bayesian model, we can calculate a statistically reliable RR values. We used the full Bayes estimator, as well as empirical Bayes estimators. As a result, variations in the two Bayes models were similar. The SMR-based statistics had the largest variation. The result maps can be used to identify regions with a high risk of LBW in South Korea.

In this study, for the application of land resource evaluation using GIS map overlay method, I have considered about the process that can draw out right results from the problems involving multiple hierarchical indicators and weights. The assumption of this research is that there are two processes in the application of analytic hierarchy process(AHP) and the different results will appear. The two processes are as follows; (1) calculate directly the comprehensive weights to the indicators and overlay the layers(Method I) and (2) repeat the process of map overlay and standardization(Method II). The two precesses are applied on the study site based on the envirosystem in Bong-Hwa, and then some differences were found in the results and it was suggested that the Method II is more reasonable.

It is very useful to estimate easily the various characteristics of streams and to manage objectively streams, as the order or grade among streams is determined by the natural characteristics and the degree of human utilization. With obtainable various statistics data and expert examination, we proposed the measurable evaluation index of "stream weight" considering the natural characteristics of streams, the utilization degree of streams and the social conditions of the regions crossed streams. The each stream weight is calculated as follows. Firstly, select the various factors which influence to streams in AHP. Secondly, determine the each weight of factors by the result of expert examination. Finally, sum up after multiplying the normalized factors by these two values. The stream weight can be used such divisions as the recognization of relative weight between streams, the determination of the stream management direction in the near future, the enhancement of the efficiency of stream management through the adjustment of the present stream grade and the determination of the management method concerned the stream weight as well.t as well.

A stream serve the functions of different water utilization, flood control, and the environment, and contributes to the development of national life and culture. On the other hand, it is difficult to efficiently evaluate various projects, such as effectiveness verification and comparison between projects, because the evaluation procedures and evaluation techniques of projects are not uniform and different for each institution. Therefore, a standardization technology was developed for a post-assessment of stream projects that can recognize stream problems and comprehensively evaluate stream-related projects. To this end, various projects, such as project evaluation techniques, national R&D projects, and social welfare projects, were compared and analyzed, and the standardization stages of the project were first suggested. In addition, based on the standardization stage, the evaluation indices for each stage were derived to develop an evaluation table that can evaluate stream-related projects comprehensively. Finally, it is possible to prevent the repeated use of failure factors in the planned projects.

Job creation is the most important issue in the labor market these days, and the quality of jobs is also very important in order to resolve the mismatches that are taking place in the labor market. Kim Young-min (2014) developed the "2012 Quality of Employment Index" with twenty indicators in seven categories, including employment opportunities, to objectively assess the local labor market. This method presents the concept of the aggregate indicator, 'Quality of Work Index', and has the advantage of being easy to produce. However, it is difficult to statistically verify the adequacy of the constitutive indicators and, based on this, make them a single aggregate index through statistical techniques. Therefore, we developed an alternative '2012 Descent Work Index' and a confidence interval using Principal Component Analysis(PCA) and Unobserved Component Model(UCM) presented by Gi-Choon Kang & Myung-jig Kim (2014) and also calculated an alternative '2017 Descent Work Index' using the first half of 2017 local area labour force survey and compared its changes by region. The results of the empirical analysis show that the rank correlation coefficient between two methods of aggregating indicators, simple weight used in Young-min Kim's research, PCA method and UCM used in this study, were found to be statistically significant under 5% significance level. This implies that all methods are found to be useful. However, the PCA and UCM which determine scientific and objective weights based on data are preferred to Young-min Kim's approach. Since it provides us not only the level of aggregate indicator but also its confidence intervals, it is possible to compare ranking with the consideration of statistical significance. Therefore, it is expected that the method of constructing an aggregating indicator using UCM will be widely used in many areas in the future.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the technological competitiveness of the environmental industry with developed countries in order to establish an international market expansion strategy of the Korean environmental industry and technology. In order to evaluate the competitiveness of the environmental industry and technology, core technologies were classified by the environmental industry sectors based on the classification system of the domestic and international environmental industry and technology. After developing the evaluation index data, the Delphi analysis, journal and patent analysis, as well as the export and import analysis were carried out and the standardization analysis was performed on the index data. Moreover, the weights of each evaluation index were calculated using the AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) method and the evaluation results of competitiveness of the environmental industry and technology in Korea, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and France were derived. As a result of the evaluation, the United States was rated with the highest technological competitiveness in all the environmental industry sectors, while Korea got the lowest technological competitiveness rating compared to the 4 developed countries. In particular, Korea got the lowest level of technological competitiveness in the sector of multi-media environmental management and development for a sustainable social system. Therefore, in order for the Korean environmental industry and technology to enter the global advanced market, it is necessary to strengthen the competitiveness through the development of the fourth environmental industry based on IoT(Internet of Things), cloud, big data, mobile, and AI(Artificial Intelligence), which are currently the country's domestic strengths.

Sea level rise due to global warming causes seawater intrusion into aquifers in coastal areas. Seawater intrusion vulnerability index was developed using PSR (Pressure, State, Response) model and analysis hierarchy process (AHP). Coastal regions in Korea, Gangwon-do Sokcho-si, Incheon-si Ganghwa-gun, Chungcheongnam-do Taean-gun, Jeollanam-do Yeosu-si, Jindo-gun were chosen and 14 indicators were selected by considering the humanities, economic, social, environmental aspects. Re-scaling method was used for the standardization of indices and questionnaire survey was performed to calculate weight values for each index. The results showed that Yeosu-si was selected as the most vulnerable region to seawater intrusion. The seawater intrusion index developed in this research can be used to analyze the vulnerable regions to seawater intrusion and to establish a policy to minimize the seawater intrusion problems in coastal regions.

연안관리 정책을 결정하기 위해서는 다양한 정보의 수집과 이를 체계적으로 관리하고 분석할 수 있는 기법이 필요하다. 특히, 다양한 이해집단과 목적들이 상충하는 지역의 특성을 파악하기 위해서는 환경, 사회, 경제적인 기준 및 의사결정자의 가치체계가 반영될 수 있어야 하며, 선호도가 반영된 요소를 효율적으로 분석할 수 있어야 한다. 이에, 본 연구에서는 공간자료의 처리 및 분석이 용이한 GIS 환경에 다기준 분석법, 그 중에서도 AHP 모형을 결합하는 방법을 다루어 보았다. 분석과정을 살펴보면, 본 연구에서는 지역에 영향을 미치는 사회ㆍ경제적인 지표, 환경 지표를 정하였고, 이런 지표들의 데이터를 GIS라는 도구를 통하여 분석이 용이하도록 변환시켰다. 한편, 이 지역에 영향을 미치는 각 기준들의 중요성을 파악하여 의사결정자의 의견을 반영할 수 있도록 다기준 분석법의 하나인 AHP를 이용하여 가중치를 산정하였다. 다음으로, 다양한 출처의 자료를 표준화하여 GIS의 래스터 자료로 구축한 후, 가중치를 적용한 개별 레이어를 지도대수와 중첩분석을 이용하여 최종 결과 레이어를 생성하였다. 생성된 최종 결과 레이어 상의 공간의 대안인 각 셀 값을 비교ㆍ분석하였다. 이로 인한 결과는 연안의 유한한 자원과 공간의 다양한 이용상태를 관리하기 위한 해안과 육상의 정보를 제공할 수 있다. GIS와 다기준 분석을 통합함으로써 다양한 출처의 공간정보를 분석하고 연안의 현 상태를 밝힐 수 있다. 또한, 이것은 분석 결과가 단순하고 명확하게 설명되어 정책 결정자에게 유용한 정보를 제공할 뿐만 아니라, 이 정보를 이용하여 실질적인 연안관리계획을 수립하는데 도움이 된다.가능성 0.5이상의 면적은 59%를 차지하였다.퇴적이 우세한 것으로 관측되었다.보체계의 구축사업의 시각이 행정정보화, 생활정보화, 산업정보화 등 다양한 분야와 결합하여 보다 큰 시너지 효과와 사용자 중심의 서비스 개선을 창출할 수 있는 기반을 제공할 것을 기대해 본다.. 이상의 결과를 종합해볼 때, ${\beta}$-glucan은 고용량일 때 직접적으로 또는 $IFN-{\gamma}$ 존재시에는 저용량에서도 복강 큰 포식세로를 활성화시킬 뿐 아니라, 탐식효율도 높임으로써 면역기능을 증진 시키는 것으로 나타났고, 그 효과는 crude ${\beta}$-glucan의 추출조건에 따라 달라지는 것을 알 수 있었다.eveloped.

하천환경 복원사업이나 자연형하천 정비사업의 근본 목표는 그 하천 고유의 하천경관이나 생태계 등 특성을 회복(Rehabilitation)시키거나 복원(Restoration)하는 것이다. 현재 이 치수기능 확보를 위한 댐 보의 건설, 하천정비 및 골재채취 등 하천의 인공화가 계속되고 있으며, 이에 따른 하천 및 하도의 물리, 화학, 생물에 미치는 영향은 심각한 수준이다. 이러한 하천의 인위적 교란은 요인, 규모, 빈도 및 강도는 다르지만 하천생태 서식처의 물리적, 화학적 특성이 변형, 변질되어 하천생태계가 변화, 단절, 절멸되는 심각한 상태가 빈발하고 있다. 하천교란(River disturbance)은 요인에 따라 유량 및 유사량 변화, 하상변동, 하도준설, 인공호안, 생태통로 차단 등 하천의 물리적 환경 변화를 초래하고, 그에 따른 영향으로 생물종의 감소 및 단순화, 개체수 감소 등과 같이 하천 생태계가 변화하게 된다. 그러나 하천의 교란평가에 대한 연구가 미흡하고, 또한 표준화된 평가체제가 구축되어 있지 않을 뿐 만 아니라 하천환경의 복원에 대한 의식 보급도 부족한 것이 현실이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 하천의 교란정도를 파악하기 위한 하천교란평가기법 개발을 위한 전단계로서 일본의 하천수변 국세조사, 영국의 River Habitat Survey, 호주의 River Assessment System, 미국의 Stream Corridor Restoration 등에서 제시하는 하천모니터링 및 평가체제를 비교, 분석하였다. 외국사례 분석 결과를 토대로 하천교란 요인을 하천정비, 댐건설, 골재채취로 유형화하고 교란요인별 조사해야 할 물리적 인자로서 유량, 유사량, 하도 제원, 특징적 내용, 하도형상, 여울과 소, 점사주, 인공구조물, 제방 호안의 재료 및 특징 등으로 선정, 검토하였으며, 생태계 인자로서는 제방 마루의 토지이용 및 식생구조, 하도의 식생유형, 하도주변 토지이용, 하안(bank) 형상 및 구조, 수종 및 구조, 하도 및 하안 특징 및 구조 등으로 선정, 검토하였다. 이상의 하천교란과 관계되는 지표를 선정하여 물리적, 생태적 조사 및 교란평가기법(안)을 개발, 제시하였다.
