Urban nature plays an important role not only in the improvement of the physical environment but also from the perspective of psychological and social function. In particular, schoolyards as well as the green spaces near school surroundings function as a primary space for urban children to experience nature in Korea, as they spend most of their time at school. In this study, the status of urban green spaces near school surroundings was examined. For the analysis, 185 elementary schools in Seoul were selected and the green spaces within a radius of 300m(defined as 'school zone' in this study) were analyzed using the Rapid Eye multispectral satellite image data. The mean green space ratio of school zone accounts to about 21% with a high variation from 74% to 0.7% and more than half of the school zone have a green space ratio of less than 20%. Schools with a high green space ratio in their school zone are mostly located near urban forests, so forest areas particularly contribute to increase the green space ratio. Furthermore, forest vegetation shows relatively higher vitality than other green spaces located in urbanized areas. In contrast, schools with a low green space ratio in their school zone are mostly situated in high-density residential areas and the green spaces show relatively low vegetation vitality. Except for the urban forest, the majority of urban green spaces in urbanized areas are landscape green facilities in apartment districts. The other types of urban open spaces such as environmentally shaped schoolyards or street parks account only for a very small proportion of school surroundings. Therefore, it is needed to establish countermeasures in the context of urban planning; e.g. to promote the school forest projects preferentially by selecting schools with a extremely low green space ratio in their school zone, to foster roof greening in near surroundings, and to connect schoolyards organically with nearby apartment landscape green facilities as an easily accessible urban open space.

본 연구에서는 최근 학교 주변에서 발생하는 어린이 범죄 사고의 관리 및 예방을 위한 무선 센서 네트워크 기반의 스쿨존 안전관리 시스템을 제안한다. 학교 주변 무선센서네트워크 망 구축과 어린이들에게 부착되는 센서들을 통해 환경 및 위치 영상 센싱 정보들을 공간 지식화하여 안전과 관련된 서비스를 제공한다. 또한 스쿨존 망을 벗어나 통신이 되지 않는 어린이의 경우 기회주의적 네트워크를 통하여 관리할 수 있는 전략적 안전관리 방안을 제안한다.

Accidents involving deaths of children and pedestrians continue to occur in child protection zones, also known as school zones. Over the three years from 2019 to 2021, 11 child deaths occurred in school zones in Korea. In December 2022, a fatal accident occurred among an elementary school student in a school zone near an elementary school in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. In April 2023, an accident occurred in which an elementary school student died in a school zone near Seo-gu Middle School in Daejeon and an elementary school in Yeongdo-gu, Busan. Until recently, child deaths continued to occur on sidewalks in child protection zones. It is time to closely review the status of safety facilities installed in school zones and related regulations. We investigated and analyzed the current status of safety facilities and related regulations installed on sidewalks in child protection zones in Korea, and identified matters necessary for institutional improvement regarding safety facilities for sidewalks in child protection zones.

In this paper, we propose a safety management system which prevents the occurrence of crime and accident from rising in school neighborhood. This system offers a monitoring method for safety of children which make intelligent space from environment and location sensing data through wireless communication between sensors attached to children and fixed sensor network in school neighborhood. Also, We propose a strategic safety management plan using opportunistic network when node is out of school zone network. Many students can easily receive the service of low cost from WSN-based School zone network than existing service from GPS individually by using our scheme.

소프트웨어는 일상의 삶을 더 편리하게 해 주는 도구 이상으로 우리의 생활 깊숙이 침투하였으며, 소프트웨어로 인해 산업의 구조가 바뀌고 세상이 바뀌어 가고 있다. 이러한 소프트웨어의 중요성을 인식하고 2015 개정 교육과정에서는 초등학교에서부터 소프트웨어를 이해하고 제작하는 교육이 실행될 예정이다. 하지만, 소프트웨어라는 것은 추상적인 개념으로 아동의 경험과 연결시켜 소프트웨어 교육이 이루어지기는 어려웠던 것이 사실이다. 존 듀이는 일상적인 삶의 경험 영역 내에 들어 있던 것들로부터 교육을 도출해 낼 수 있다고 하였고, 이는 아동의 입장을 신중히 고려한 방식이다. 따라서, 소프트웨어 교육 또한 아동의 일상경험에서 출발한다면 보다 효과적인 교육이 이루어 질 수 있으리라고 본다. 이에 본 연구에서는 존 듀이의 철학적 관점에서 소프트웨어 교육에 시사하는 바를 대해 논의해 보고자 한다.

In simulation model, when it's occurred model succession, the parent model is connected to child model. The model succession also is divided into integrity and fragment by the succession characteristic. The schoolzone system is a monitoring system to monitor the accident of people or physical contact occurred in school, and it is installed recently in the school. This paper proposes the setup scheme of schoolzone system.

This study aims to verify whether field-dependence and field-independence cognitive style have regulatory effect or not on information quality and system quality of digital textbooks in learning satisfaction. In order to accomplish the purpose, the research was carried out with 325 students of digital textbook research school who are fifth and sixth grade at a primary school living in Seoul metropolitan city. Results from the verification of hypotheses are as follows: when learning satisfaction of digital textbooks is affected by information quality and system quality influence satisfaction, it is given a positive moderating effect by the variables of field-dependence and field-independence cognitive style.

In this paper, we propose a method of schoolzone safety to the protection and management of accident and crime of school circumstance that it is increased recently. Hence, sensor network based intelligent monitoring module must be considered for schoolzone safety. It is not simple CCTV monitoring, but it means that the ability extension is proposed to monitor the dangerous situation for the risk management. Hence, this paper proposes the design of monitoring module considering various danger situations that can be occurred around the school.

This study is a study of the school zone safety system of the platform part in which processing between device and the application, gateway function processing, and application and service function are cooperatively processed. The device part is the beacons that are supported when the student moves in the school zone. And the section of application is a service announcement that applies to smartphones. Finally, the children's protection area sign shows the number of students registered at the gateway. Gateways operate in two types. The first type is a gateway installed to identify the movement of elementary school students. The second type is a gateway to identify students who have passed through the front door of the school. The IoT platform handles various service functions, child protection area panel support and student counter processing functions.

This study considers the concept of schools and their spatial composition by John Dewey through literature review who argued for a new, children-centered education in the early 19th century, and it also mentions some suggestions for improvement of the elementary school facilities in Korea that the size and number of students in school has decreased sharply. John Dewey claimed that a school is a big household as well as a small society in which one studies the current occupation and experience in connection between the household-school-society. At the same time, he pursued an organic and open spatial composition which can effectively and efficiently enable educational curriculum's application, social occupation and project learning based on children's native impulse and stage in child growth. Korea's education policy should shift from quantity-based education production to quality-based production due to the reduction of school age population among other reasons. Especially this study emphasizes that small size schools need to be changed to local community facilities with environment-friendly, children-centered and open learning spatial composition with basis on John Dewey's educational philosophy.
