  • The purpose of this study was to survey the status of the operation of site-based environmental education(EE) programs. This study surveyed 165 schools and organizations that operated site-based EE program in 2000 using a mail questionnaire and interviews. The response rate was 43%. The result indicated that awareness, participation, and attitude were considerably addressed, while knowledge and skills were addressed to a lesser degree. There were some difficulties in motivating students and in considering the developmental stage of participants. For programing the site-based EE, financial support and expert knowledge of EE were needed most of all. Learning materials for various and hand-on activities were also needed. The affective domain, such as awareness and attitude, showed marked improvement in the outcomes of the programs. Direct experience and sensitivity, connection with school education, regional characteristics were sufficiently addressed in the programs, while cultural aspects, fairness, originality, and accuracy were not. Flexibility in performing the programs and less rigidity of report on operations were needed. Through the discussion of the results, some improvements for the operation of site-based EE program were suggested.

  • The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has experienced tremendous economic and industrial growth in the petroleum, airline, maritime and construction sectors, especially since the discovery of oil reserves. Mass recruitment of low skilled or unskilled laborers from less-developed countries has been utilized to satisfy the manpower demands of these fast paced industrial developments. Such workforce recruitment has created an unusual populace demographic, with the total UAE population estimated at 8.3 million, composed of 950,000 Emiratis, with the remainder being multinational expatriate workers, with varying educational qualifications, work experience, religious beliefs, cultural practices, and native languages. These unique characteristics pose a challenge for health and safety professionals tasked with ensuring the UAE workforce adheres to specific occupational health and safety procedures. The paper discusses two case studies that employ a novel multimedia approach to raising health and safety awareness among a multinational workforce.

  • Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feeling of distance of social work practitioners for people living with HIV/AIDS(PLWHA) and to identify related factors. Methods: A total of 409 data were collected as convenience sampling from social welfare service providers. Independent variables were socio-demographic data, AIDS related knowledge, authoritarian personality, prejudice for minority(handicapped, women, foreigner, old aged), cultural competency. Data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, multiple regression analysis were conducted. Results: Multiple regression model was developed by integrating the significant variables from univariate analysis. Significant factors of physical distance were social prejudice against handicapped, knowledge about AIDS and critical awareness/knowledge about other culture. And significant factors of social distance were social prejudice against handicapped, knowledge about AIDS, authoritarian personality, critical awareness/knowledge about other culture. At last, we found that social prejudice against handicapped was the biggest factor for physical distance and authoritarian personality was the biggest factor for social distance of social work practitioners. Conclusions: The area of social services for PLWHA have to be expanded. Physical and social distance of professionals to provide services to PLWHA and factors affecting it is necessary to continue research. In addition, on the basis of these findings, specific training programs is need to be developed.

  • Purpose: This study presents a translation, cultural adaptation, and psychometric evaluation of two instruments of the Fertility Awareness and Attitudes Towards Parenthood (FAAP) questionnaire (Conditions and Life changes) for use in South Korea. Methods: This methodological study included 166 university students for psychometric evaluation in the sixth step. The first five steps included forward translation, backward translation, committee review, assessment of content validity, and a pre-test. In the sixth step, psychometric properties, including internal consistency, construct validity, and criterion validity, were evaluated. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were conducted to identify the structure of the tool and to assess its validity. Results: The Korean version showed acceptable internal consistency. Cronbach's α was .73 for FAAP-Conditions and .83 for FAAP-Life changes. FAAP-Conditions showed a four-factor structure (social conditions, relationship with partner, external environment, and child-rearing support) and FAAP-Life changes had a two-factor structure (reward and burden). In the confirmatory analysis, CMIN/DF, TLI, IFI, SRMR, CFI, and RMSEA were satisfactory. Conclusion: This study provided preliminary evidence of the acceptability, reliability, and validity of the Korean version of the FAAP questionnaire in university students in South Korea. Nonetheless, further evaluation among Korean young adults is warranted to validate this instrument.

  • The boundaries between fashion and contemporary art are increasingly blurred showing their interchangeability. This study examines Judith Butler and Athena Athanasiou's concept of dispossession to analyze expressions of gender, racial, and class identity in Martine Gutierrez's representative work, Indigenous Woman. First, gender expressions in Indigenous Woman emphasize the possibility of performative and practical gender as an image that rejects norms that grant authority according to the possession of innate body parts. Second, racial identity is expressed through resistance to the ideology of whiteness and imperialism reinforced by fashion media. The author aims to overcome normative stereotypes through the media she creates, which reveals her identity as a person of color. Third, class identity is represented through stereotypes that limit the lives of indigenous people to primitive and natural things. The author reveals a critical awareness of the hierarchical structure and cultural appropriation these stereotypes have created. This study analyzed contemporary artworks using fashion media through the concept of dispossession. The significance of this study lies in raising a critical awareness of the practices that diffuse minority identities in fashion media.

  • This study observes the language attitude and maintenance of the border community in Telok Melano, Lundu (Sarawak, Malaysia) and Desa Temajuk, Sambas (West Kalimantan, Indonesia). The main objective of this study is to study the language attitudes of two cross-border community who shares the socio-cultural, language, and economic realms. The research data is collected qualitatively through conversation recordings, face-to-face interviews, and participant observations. In this preliminary study, twelve informants (six from Telok Melano and six from Desa Temajuk) were chosen based on the quota sampling method. The questions for the interview were set according to three characteristics of language choice proposed by Garvin and Mathiot (1968), namely language loyalty, language pride, and the awareness of norms. The result of this study indicates that language loyalty, language pride, and awareness of the norms towards the speakers' mother tongue and national language are relatively high. In terms of identity maintenance issues, this study found that the community in Telok Melano (Sarawak), originally identify themselves as "Sambas Malays," shifted to "Sarawak Malays" after the formation of Malaysia in 1963. This preliminary study serves as a basis for further research particularly on the complexity of issues concerned with the border communities in the Southwest of Sarawak.

  • 1962년 제정된 문화재보호법은 지속적인 개정을 통해 급속한 경제성장 과정에서 문화재의 체계적인 보존 관리 및 활용에 그 역할을 다해왔다. 특히, 2000년에는 문화재 영향검토제도를 도입하고, 2006년에는 국가지정문화재 현상변경 허용기준 마련 지침을 제정하며 문화재 및 역사문화환경의 보존과 더불어 행정효율성 제고, 정주환경 개선에 상당한 기여를 하고 있다. 그러나, 문화재 가치에 대한 국민의식 향상과 문화유산을 활용한 지역 활성화의 필요성이 대두되는 동시에 문화재 가치 및 유형적 특성, 토지이용실태 등 주변 여건을 적의 반영하지 못하는 일부 허용기준을 적용함에 따라 주민 불편사항이 계속 제기되고 있어, 본 연구는 문화재의 핵심가치를 명확히 하고, 이를 반영한 문화재 유형별 현상변경 검토기준 마련을 목적으로 하였다. 이에 문화재보호법 및 관련 지침 매뉴얼, 각종 연구자료 등의 분석을 통해 물적 특성 및 본연의 가치를 적극적으로 보존 관리하기 위한 경관관리 중점지표를 설정하고, 현상변경 관점에서 문화재 유형분류체계를 재분류하여 현상변경 검토기준을 제시하였다. 이를 통해, 단기적으로는 문화재 가치 및 유형별 특성을 반영한 역사문화환경의 체계적 관리와 검토기준의 일관성을 확보하는 한편, 이를 적용한 허용기준의 조정을 통해 기준설정에 대한 대국민 이해도 증진을 도모함으로써 문화재 관리행정에 대한 만족도가 제고되길 기대한다.

  • 문화자원을 활성화하고 콘텐츠를 개발하는 그 기본은 국가유산(문화재)으로 국가유산에서 문화유산은 역사와 전통의 고유성, 정체성, 생활 변화를 나타내는 유형의 문화적 유산이다. 박물관의 경우 소장품(소장한 문화유산)이 그 기관에 대한 고유 특성을 나타낸다. 우리나라는 문화유산을 학문, 산업, 행정에 연계하여 관리·활용할 수 있도록 박물관 소장품을 문화유산표준관리시스템에 등록하여 사용하도록 권장하고 있다. 하지만 근·현대 유산에 대한 인식 부족으로 시스템의 주제 분류 편년이 조선시대 이전 위주로 설정되어 있어, 국토정보에 맞는 문화유산 분류체계가 이루어지지 않았다. 이에 본 연구에서는 '지적' 용어가 처음 사용된 근대를 기점으로 한국국토정보공사 LX국토정보박물관에 소장된 지적 문화유산 소장품을 중심으로 지적 문화유산에 대한 분류체계를 제시하였다. 지적 문화유산은 전문적인 기술 분야이면서도 특정 인물만이 지적을 측량하거나 결과물을 제작하지 않는다는 점, 제작에는 전문적이면서도 사용 시 교육적 측면이 많다는 점을 특징으로 한다. 따라서 다른 전문 박물관 소장품이 제작 방법과 사용 의도, 제작자 등 용도의 기능적인 측면으로 분류한 것과는 다르게 분류 방법을 지적 사용품과 산출물에 따른 특성별 구분하고 문화유산표준관리시스템의 항목을 참고하여 대, 중, 소의 3단계로 분류하였다. 이러한 분류는 개념을 범주화하고 자료의 주제를 일련의 순서로 구분하여 체계화하는 것으로 지식의 효과적인 이용을 목적으로 한다. 직접적으로는 지적 문화유산의 안전한 보존관리 환경을 구축할 수 있으며, 활용도에서는 소장품에 대한 학술적·사회문화적 해석을 가능하게 한다. 또한 국토정보 연구 자료 검색, 전시 기획, 교육 자료 등 박물관뿐만 아니라 국토정보 분야에서 다양한 문화자원 콘텐츠 활용의 기반이 될 것으로 기대된다.

  • Background: The coverage of breast and cervical cancer screening has only slightly increased in the past decade in Thailand, and these cancers remain leading causes of death among women. This study identified socioeconomic and contextual factors contributing to the variation in screening uptake and coverage. Materials and Methods: Secondary data from two nationally representative household surveys, the Health and Welfare Survey (HWS) 2007 and the Reproductive Health Survey (RHS) 2009 conducted by the National Statistical Office were used. The study samples comprised 26,951 women aged 30-59 in the 2009 RHS, and 14,619 women aged 35 years and older in the 2007 HWS were analyzed. Households of women were grouped into wealth quintiles, by asset index derived from Principal components analysis. Descriptive and logistic regression analyses were performed. Results: Screening rates for cervical and breast cancers increased between 2007 and 2009. Education and health insurance coverage including wealth were factors contributing to screening uptake. Lower or non-educated and poor women had lower uptake of screenings, as were young, unmarried, and non-Buddhist women. Coverage of the Civil Servant Medical Benefit Scheme increased the propensity of having both screenings, while the universal coverage scheme increased the probability of cervical screening among the poor. Lack of awareness and knowledge contributed to non-use of both screenings. Women were put off from screening, especially Muslim women on cervical screening, because of embarrassment, fear of pain and other reasons. Conclusions: Although cervical screening is covered by the benefit package of three main public health insurance schemes, free of charge to all eligible women, the low coverage of cervical screening should be addressed by increasing awareness and strengthening the supply side. As mammography was not cost effective and not covered by any scheme, awareness and practice of breast self examination and effective clinical breast examination are recommended. Removal of cultural barriers is essential.
