In Korea, there are many cases where policy decisions are not made even though it is a big social issue. Usually, the reasons for such delay in policy making are cases where it is delayed to go through an appropriate policy procedure, and there are cases where the consent of stakeholders is not obtained. But, this study intends to suggest that a few policy delay in Korea can be explained by intentional non-decision-making by the government. Non-decision making is being made as a strategic and active strategy of the government. In this study, the case of Lotte Shopping Mall in Sangam was analyzed from the point of view of non-decision making. As a result of analysis based on factors such as the existence of elite, purpose, policy tool, policy process, and result, it can be assumed that the policy delay of the Lotte Shopping Mall was caused by the government's active strategic decision. The government's strategic non-decision-making, which is distinct from passive administration, needs to be reviewed in various ways in the future.

Establishing career goals and making a career choice is the most crucial task for college students. This study aims to identify the motive of college students' career choices and analyze the relationship between career capabilities and career decision-making in order to provide basic materials that can assist college students in the career decision-making process. To do this, a survey was conducted among college students attending a D university in Busan. A total of 326 survey responses were selected for analysis, and path analysis was conducted using SPSS 25 and AMOS 25. The results of the study are as follows. First, intrinsic motivation for career choice and extrinsic motivation for career choice were found to affect career consideration and career management capabilities, respectively, with statistical significance. Second, career consideration and career path management capabilities influenced both concreteness and confidence, which are elements of career decision-making with statistical significance. Intrinsic motivation for career choice and extrinsic motivation for career choice affected concreteness and confidence in career decision-making with career consideration and career management capabilities as parameters. These findings imply that in order to increase the concreteness and confidence in the career decision-making of undergraduate students, it is necessary to strengthen their career consideration and career management capabilities. As the unemployment rate of youths rises and the types and specialization of jobs increase amid uncertainty in the future employment conditions, undergraduate students face increasing difficulties in career decision-making. The results of this research are expected to be used as basic materials for the career decision-making of undergraduate students, which will assists in career path consultation and guidance in universities.

This study suggests a methodology of hydrologic decision making for the establishment of a standard of drought management from the drought analysis by the past drought history and for the drought monitoring and management according to drought processing. The construction and analysis of a decision tree diagram are performed and the step by step plan according to drought severity is suggested. Say, the decision tree diagram is constructed by the transition probability and quantity of monthly precipitation. Then the drought processing is investigated by the analysis of diagram and the 3-step of drought notice, drought warning, and emergency plan are established. The suggested methology in this study can be used for the other area and the decision tree diagram be used by changing the diagram according to the utilization purposes. Also, the choice of monthly PDSI class and precipitation analysis can be performed by the continuous data supplement. And so, a new standard value by the modified diagram is provided and the continuous drought management will be possible.

In the fourth industrial revolution age, because of advance in the intelligence information technologies, the various roles of AI have attracted public attention. Starting with Google's Alphago, AI is now no longer a fantasized technology but a real one that can bring ripple effect in entire society. Already, AI has performed well in the medical service, legal service, and the private sector's business decision making. This study conducted an exploratory analysis on the possibilities and issues of AI-driven policy decision making in the public sector. The three research purposes are i) could AI make a policy decision in public sector?; ii) how different is AI-driven policy decision making compared to the existing methods of decision making?; and iii) what issues would be revealed by AI's policy decision making? AI-driven policy decision making is differentiated from the traditional ways of decision making in that the former is represented by rationality based on sufficient amount of information and alternatives, increased transparency and trust, more objective views for policy issues, and faster decision making process. However, there are several controversial issues regarding superiority of AI, ethics, accountability, changes in democracy, substitution of human labor in the public sector, and data usage problems for AI. Since the adoption of AI for policy decision making will be soon realized, it is necessary to take an integrative approach, considering both the positive and adverse effects, to minimize social impact.

The purpose of this study was to analyze a structural relations which occur when college students' inner and outer career barrier impacts on career decision status through the mediating variables of career decision making self-efficacy and career aspiration. The data of 787 college students subjects were collected for the study. The measuring tools were Career Decision Status, Outer Career Barriers, Inner Career Barriers, Career Aspiration, and Career Decision Making Self-Efficacy. The collected data were analyzed with structural equation modeling(SEM). The findings of the study were as follows. Results showed that only inner career barriers affect career decision status through the mediating variables of career decision making self-efficacy and career aspiration among outer and inner career barriers anticipated to give negative impact on level of career decision making. Inner career barriers affect career decision making self-efficacy negatively, and career decision making self-efficacy gives positive impact on career aspiration, and career aspiration affects career decision status negatively. In other words, the more aware of inner career barriers, the lower career decision making self-efficacy.

This study is aimed at proposing a new approach to designing UDSS (Ubiquitous Decision Support System) which allows context-awareness and connectivity. In the previous studies, the need to design UDSS and analyze its performance empirically was raised. However, due to the complexity of empirical approaches, there is no study attempting to tackle this research issue so far. To fill this research void, this study proposes a Mobile Delivery System (MDS) as a form of UDSS, empirically analyzing how users perceive its context-awareness and connectivity functions. Especially, to add more rigor to the proposed approach to know how much it works well in the decision-making contexts, we considered three decision making phases (intelligence, design, choice) in the research model. With the valid questionnaires collected from 340 users of the MDS, we induced statistically proven results showing that both context-awareness and connectivity of the proposed UDSS (or MDS) influence the decision making steps positively and then contribute to improving the decision making quality.

Recently, the constructions of widening bridges or new bridges are often undergoing as a part of road widening because traffic volumes are rapidly increasing caused by fast-growing population and urbanization. But in general, there is no rational decision process and specification to justify the validity of the bridge widening. Moreover, there are also numerous events including various uncertainties involved in widening bridges. In this paper, therefore, a decision making model is proposed for widening bridges using decision tree based on quantitative LCC analysis considering a variety of uncertainties for the rational and practical approach to a quantitative decision making for alternatives.

The role of consumer self-confidence is important in consumer's purchase decision. Nevertheless, the use of self-esteem measures might cause misinformation in the specific situation of the marketing-related point of view. In this study, consumer self-confidence was measured by marketing oriented tools to clarify the dimensions of consumer self-confidence while the influence of consumer self-confidence on clothing satisfaction was also investigated. A total of 325 questionnaires were collected by surveying university students in Seoul and the surrounding metropolitan area using convenient sampling. The data were analysed by factor analysis, ANOVA, t-test, and regression by using SPSSWIN program. The findings of the study were as fellows. First, the consumer self-confidence was composed of 6 sub-scales: information acquisition, personal outcomes decision making, social outcomes decision making, consideration-set formation, persuasion knowledge, and marketplace interfaces. Second, female subjects rated higher on consumer self-confidence than male subjects did in social outcomes decision making and consideration-set formation. Third, higher income was correlated with higher social outcomes decision making and consideration-set formation. Finally, clothing satisfaction was influenced by personal outcomes decision making and information acquisition.

This paper proposes an application methodology of AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) based decision making theory for improvement priority by assessment of various risk factors affecting on deterioration of water supply systems, as major social infrastructure. AHP method is organized with three level of hierarchy which is introduced for multi-criteria decision making in this study. In the first level, assessment outputs are calculated by AHP for each affecting factor. In the second level, criteria are estimated by using assessment results with respect to structural and environmental factors. Consequently, ranking decision is performed in the third level. In order to present the effectiveness, a proposed method is compared with FCP(Fuzzy Composite Programming) for decision making. Since the results of the proposed method show better performance with consistent results, it can be applied as an efficient information for the determination for improvement priority of the study infrastructure.

Purpose: This study was intended to evaluate the effect of nurse image, satisfaction with one's major and career decision-making self-efficacy on career preparation behavior of first-year nursing students. Methods: A total of 134 first-year nursing students were enrolled in this study. Data were collected from March 25 to April 5, 2024. Data collected prospectively were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis. Results: Career preparation behavior showed a significantly positive correlation with nurse image (r=.28, p=.001), satisfaction with one's major (r=.41, p<.001) and career decision-making self-efficacy(r=.61, p<.001). Career decisionmaking self-efficacy showed a significantly positive correlation with nurse image (r=.59, p<.001), satisfaction with one's major (r=.70, p<.001). Satisfaction with one's major showed a significantly positive correlation with nurse image (r=.66, p<.001). Career preparation behavior was significantly affected by nurse in the family and relatives (β=-.21, p=.003) and career decision-making self-efficacy (β=.64, p<.001), which had an explanatory power of 41.0%. Conclusion: To establish career preparation behavior in first-year nursing students, it is necessary to develop a variety of systematic educational programs to enhance career decision-making self-efficacy.
