Objectives: After coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was declared a pandemic, the South Korean government announced guidelines on wearing masks to prevent its spread. The guidelines have changed depending on the severity of the spread of COVID-19. This study aimed to identify mask-wearing behaviours to counter the spread of COVID-19 in indoor and outdoor environments. Methods: The type of mask worn and proper wearing were observed in cafés, supermarkets, underground shopping malls, and streets in Seoul. Behavioral assessment was repeated in August at social distancing levels 1 and 2, in October at social distancing level 1, and in November after the mask mandates. Results: In August, 22.1% of subjects in cafés, 90.8% in supermarkets, 91.8% in underground shopping malls, and 83.6% on outdoor streets wore masks properly. In October, the proportion of correct wearers increased in all locations. After masks became mandatory in November, about 97% of users of supermarkets, underground shopping malls, and streets wore masks properly. In cafés, the proportion of proper wearers was 61.5% with both social distancing level 2 in August and the mandate in November. The number of KF-certified mask wearers continued to increase from August to November. Conclusion: This study investigated mask-wearing behaviors to counter COVID-19 through observations in indoor and outdoor places in Seoul. Mask-wearing behavior was different depending on the place and the government guidelines in place. The results could be used for evaluation of the current guidelines for COVID-19.

이 연구는 코로나바이러스감염증-19(이하 COVID-19) 확산 및 이에 따른 사회적 거리두기의 시행이 공원 이용자 수에 미치는 효과를 실증적으로 분석하였다. 이를 위해 서울시 송파구에 소재한 대규모 종합도시공원인 올림픽공원과 동일 자치구 내 근린공원 4 곳의 이용자 수와 COVID-19 발생에 관한 시계열 자료를 분석하고, 이를 서울의 대표적 실내 복합여가공간인 잠실 롯데월드 일대 이용자 수 변화 효과와 비교하였다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 먼저, 주거지역 내 위치한 소규모 근린공원은 COVID-19 확산과 이에 따른 사회적 거리두기 시행으로 발생 이전에 비해 평균적으로 3~6% 정도 이용자 수가 증가하였다. 특히 사회적 거리두기 강도 상향에 따라 공원 이용변화가 민감한 것으로 나타났다. 반면 잠실 롯데월드 일대 이용자 수가 평균적으로 38%가량 감소하였고, 올림픽공원의 경우에는 COVID-19 확산에 따라 평균적으로 1.9% 정도 이용자 수가 감소하였다. 올림픽공원의 원거리 이용자를 나타내는 차량 이용자 수가 평균적으로 23%가량 감소한 것을 고려하면, 주변지역 이용자 수는 거의 변화가 없는 것으로 추정된다. 이는 COVID-19와 같은 전염병 재난 시 도시공원, 특히 주거지역 내 근린공원은 도시인들에게 주요한 피난처이자 여가공간으로서 역할을 수행하므로 이의 적절한 공급과 유지관리가 필요하다는 것을 시사한다.

Covid-19 posed a serious threat to public health worldwide, especially in the absence of vaccines or medicines. The only viable strategies to combat a virus with a high infection rate were to apply lock-down strategies, transport ban, social and physical distancing. In this work, we provide a domain-specific component model for crisis management. The model allows for building a plan for managing Covid-19 crisis and use the plan as a template to generate a system specific for managing that crisis. The crisis component model is derived from X-MAN II, a generic component model that we have developed for the aircraft industry

Since the first outbreak of COVID-19 in 2019, it has caused a huge blow to the restaurant industry. However, as social distancing was lifted as of April 2022, the restaurant industry gradually recovered, and as a result, interest in restaurant start-ups increased. Therefore, in this paper, big data analysis was conducted by selecting "restaurant start-up" as a key keyword through social media big data analysis using Textom and then conducting word frequency and CONCOR analysis. The collection period of keywords was selected from May 1, 2022 to May 23, 2023, after the lifting of social distancing due to COVID-19, and based on the analysis, the development of a restaurant start-up consulting chatbot service is proposed.

Background and objective: The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic restricted daily life, forcing people to spend time indoors. With the growing interest in mental health issues and residential environments, 'pet plants' have been receiving attention during the unprecedented social distancing measures. This study aims to analyze the change in trends of pet plants before and during the COVID-19 pandemic and provide basic data for studies related to pet plants and directions of future development. Methods: A total of 2,016 news articles using the keyword 'pet plants' were collected on Naver News from January 1, 2018 to August 15, 2019 (609 articles) and January 1, 2020 to August 15, 2021 (1,407 articles). The texts were tokenized into words using KoNLPy package, ultimately coming up with 63,597 words. The analyses included frequency of keywords and topic modeling based on Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) to identify the inherent meanings of related words and each topic. Results: Topic modeling generated three topics in each period (before and during the COVID-19), and the results showed that pet plants in daily life have become the object of 'emotional support' and 'healing' during social distancing. In particular, pet plants, which had been distributed as a solution to prevent solitary deaths and depression among seniors living alone, are now expanded to help resolve the social isolation of the general public suffering from COVID-19. The new term 'plant butler' became a new trend, and there was a change in the trend in which people shared their hobbies and information about pet plants and communicated with others in online. Conclusion: Based on these findings, the trend data of pet plants before and after the outbreak of COVID-19 can provide the basis for activating research on pet plants and setting the direction for development of related industries considering the continuous popularity and trend of indoor gardening and green hobby.

본 연구는 지각된 취약성(Perceived Susceptibility)에 있어서 왜곡현상이라고 할 수 있는 낙관적 편견 외에, 지각된 통제성(Percived Controllbility)에 있어서의 왜곡현상인 통제성 편향(Illusion of Control)을 포함하여 이들 두 변인이 COVID 19 관련 개인방역행동 및 사회적 거리두기 실천과 어떠한 영향관계를 가지는지 검증하고자 하였다.이를 위해 마크로밀 엠브레인의 온라인 패널을 활용하여 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 마스크 착용, 손씻기, 손소독제 사용 등의 개인방역행동을 독립변인으로 하여, 통제성 편향과 낙관적 편견에 어떻게 영향을 주는지를 분석하고, 아울러 낙관적 편견이 사회적 거리두기에 어떠한 영향을 주는지를 회귀분석방법을 통해 분석하였다. 분석 결과, COVID 19 개인방역행동 중 손씻기 실천을 제외하고는 통제성 편향에 유의적인 영향을 주고 있지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 통제성 편향이 낙관적 편견에 영향을 주는 변인인 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 성별과 연령 등 인구학적 변인에 따라 개인방역행동이 통제성 편향에 주는 영향, 통제성 편향이 낙관적 편향에 주는 영향, 그리고 낙관적 편향이 사회적 거리두기에 주는 영향이 다르게 나타났다. 이는 향후 사회적 거리두기 촉진을 위한 개입 프로그램을 마련하는 과정에서 타겟별 차별화된 전략 및 메시지를 마련할 수 있는 근거를 제시해 줄 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

The Korean government's strategy to combat coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has focused on non-pharmaceutical interventions, such as social distancing and wearing masks, along with testing, tracing, and treatment; overall, its performance has been relatively good compared to that of many other countries heavily affected by COVID-19. However, little attention has been paid to health equity in measures to control the COVID-19 pandemic. The study aimed to examine the unequal impacts of COVID-19 across socioeconomic groups and to suggest potential solutions to tackle these inequalities. The pathways linking social determinants and health could be entry points to tackle the unequal consequences of this public health emergency. It is crucial for infectious disease policy to consider social determinants of health including poor housing, precarious working conditions, disrupted healthcare services, and suspension of social services. Moreover, the high levels of uncertainty and complexity inherent in this public health emergency, as well as the health and socioeconomic inequalities caused by the pandemic, underscore the need for good governance other than top-down measures by the government. We emphasize that a people-centered perspective is a key approach during the pandemic era. Mutual trust between the state and civil society, strong accountability of the government, and civic participation are essential components of cooperative disaster governance.
