The recent Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) outbreak has originated from a failure in the national quarantine system in the Republic of Korea as most basic role of protecting the safety and lives of its citizens. Furthermore, a number of the Korean healthcare system's weaknesses seem to have been completely exposed. The MERS-CoV outbreak can be considered a typical public health crisis in that the public was not only greatly terrorized by the actual fear of the disease, but also experienced a great impact to their daily lives, all in a short period of time. Preparedness for and an appropriate response to a public health crisis require comprehensive systematic public healthcare measures to address risks comprehensively with an all-hazards approach. Consequently, discussion regarding establishment of post-MERS-CoV improvement measures must focus on the total reform of the national quarantine system and strengthening of the public health infrastructure. In addition, the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention must implement specific strategies of action including taking on the role of "control tower" in a public health emergency, training of Field Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, establishment of collaborative governance between central and local governments for infection prevention and control, strengthening the roles and capabilities of community-based public hospitals, and development of nationwide crisis communication methods.

현대사회는 흔히 '위험사회'로 개념화되며, 이러한 위험들 가운데 특히 환경적 위험은 심각하게 만연되어 있다고 하겠다. 환경적 위험을 안고 있는 환경위기는 전통적 사회에서 볼 수 있는 자연재해와는 달리, 그 발생 및 대응과정이 기술적 통제와 관련된다는 점에서 기술적 재해라고 할 수 있다. 그리고 환경위기는 정부와 시민사회의 대응의 한계로 인해 재발되는 경향이 있다. 이러한 점에서 환경적 위기의 발생과 그 대응과정은 현대 사회체제 속에 이미 내재되어 있으며, 특히 자본주의적 시장경제와 관련된 이윤 추구 및 비용절감, 관료주의적 대의정치와 관련된 권력집중화와 책임회피, 도구주의적 과학기술로 인한 과학적 지식에 대한 맹신과 불확실성, 그리고 개인주의적 생활양식과 관련된 배타적 대응과 수동성 등으로 특징지워 진다고 할 수 있다. 본 논문은 1991년 대구에서 발생한 페놀오염사고와 1998년 시드니에서 발생했던 물오염 위기를 사례로, 이러한 현대 사회의 4가지 기본 요인들에 의한 환경위기의 발생과 그 대응 과정에 관하여 고찰하고 있다.

This study is to examine the foreign direct investment (FDI) response to real effective exchange rate volatility in Vietnam by using the vector autoregression model. The research data are quarterly frequency data in the period from 2004:Q1 to 2019:Q2. The data on real effective exchange rate were collected from the statistics of Bruegel (Europe) and FDI data were collected from the International Financial Statistics. The quantitative study was conducted with two steps: (1) measuring exchange rate volatility by the GARCH(1,1) method; and (2) examining the impact of exchange rate volatility on FDI in the context of the global financial crisis. The estimation results show that FDI responded significantly to real exchange rate volatility with the lag of 3 periods at the 5% significance level. The FDI response increased after the exchange rate volatility with the lag of 3 periods, and the impact extended to the lag of 6 periods, and then gradually stabilized. The research findings indicate that FDI in Vietnam responds positively and significantly to exchange rate volatility with the lag of 3 periods. Simultaneously, the negative impact of the global financial crisis in 2008 with the lag of 2 periods leads to a slight decrease in FDI inflows into Vietnam.

This paper examines the Chinese government's response to four epidemic crises, including COVID-19, and analyzes the similarities and differences in these responses. It argues that while the Chinese government learned from previous epidemics and improved its handling of subsequent outbreaks, a significant variation occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic, which had a detrimental impact globally. Existing scholarly research on China's epidemic responses has often been limited in scope, focusing on individual crises and neglecting the central-local government relationship in crisis decision-making. By adopting a comprehensive approach, this paper delves into the nuanced dynamics of China's responses to these epidemics. It highlights the variations in responses, attributing them to the Chinese government's fear of undermined legitimacy and its consideration of its international image. The government's recognition of the importance of public perception and trust, both domestically and globally, has shaped its crisis management strategies. Through a detailed analysis of these factors, this paper contributes to a deeper understanding of the variations observed in China's epidemic responses. It emphasizes the significance of the central-local government relationship and the government's international image in determining its actions during epidemics. Recognizing these factors can provide policymakers and researchers with insights to shape future epidemic response strategies and foster effective global health governance.

This study examines how South Korean governments responded to the outbreak of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS) using the adaptive governance framework. As of November 24, 2015, the MERS outbreak in South Korea resulted in the quarantine of about 17,000 people, 186 cases confirmed, and a death of 38. Although the national government had overall responsibility for MERS response, there is no clear understanding of how the ministries, agencies, and subnational governments take an adaptive response to the public health crisis. The paper uses the adaptive governance framework to understand how South Korean governments respond to the unexpected event regarding the following aspects: responsiveness, public learning, scientific learning, and representativeness of the decision mechanisms. The framework helps understand how joint efforts of the national and subnational governments were coordinated to the unexpected conditions. The study highlights the importance of adaptive governance for an effective response to a public-health related extreme event.

지역 산업생태계의 노후화 문제가 점차 심각해지면서, 지역 산업생태계의 쇠퇴를 측정하고 재생하기 위한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 지역 산업생태계 위기 예측에 관한 연구는 거의 이루어지지 않고 있다. 위기는 단기간에 걸쳐 급진적으로 나타나는데, 사후대응으로는 역부족인 경우가 대다수이므로 위기가 발생하기 전에 대응해야 한다. 즉, 지역 산업생태계의 위기를 조기에 파악하여 선제적인 대응을 하는 것이 장기적인 관점으로 바라봤을 때 더욱 필요하고 요구된다는 것이다. 이에 본 연구는 대용량의 뉴스 데이터를 활용하여 뉴스의 감성 점수에 따른 지역 산업생태계의 위기 예측 가능성을 점검하였다. Google 감성분석 API를 사용하여 뉴스 감성 분석을 실행하였고 이를 월별로 정리하여 감성 분석 결과 실제 이벤트 간의 연관관계를 확인하였다.

The Organization's ability to respond to social disasters has begun to be treated as important through social shock situations that have never been experienced, such as COVID-19. Among them, the ability to respond to unexpected risks and resilience is emerging. Since social disasters such as infectious diseases are periodically repeated, compounded, and enlarged, they develop into a global crisis situation, so this crisis response capability is treated as national competitiveness. Therefore, this study aims to improve the organization's response capability in terms of risk response and resilience under rapid social disasters such as COVID-19. The aviation safety field was taken as an example. From the Safety-II perspective, safety management focuses on the ability to resilience in response to system vulnerabilities in various situations. In this study, I intend to apply RAG(Resilience Assessment Grid) of Respond, Monitor, Learn and Anticipate, the four major potential of resilience engineering. Based on Hollnagel's research, potential elements were classified into four, and items were organized through an expert panel using Delphi techniques. The final configured RAG items are 15 Respond, 15 Monitor, 15 Learn and 11 Anticipate. The RAG was evaluated by 42 experts in the field of aviation safety.
