Loss and damage have become a vital contemporary issue in climate change studies and actions in developing countries. However, studies are scant on this in the fisheries sector around the world. In Bangladesh, there is no study on the loss and damage in fisheries dependent communities. This study assesses economic and non-economic loss and damage to coastal shrimp farms due to cyclone Bulbul in Gabura Union of Shyamnagar Upazila, Satkhira district, using a mixed method approach. Results show that all shrimp farms' dependent communities are affected by cyclone Bulbul to some extent. About 14%, 57%, and 29% of the farms were totally, heavily and moderately damaged due to farm inundation and dyke damage. The estimated mean loss and damage per shrimp farm was worth USD 4,633. Around 31% and 72% of the farms' fencing nets and traps were lost, which was worth USD 333 per farm. There were also loss and damage to other resources such as houses, solar panels, livestock and agricultural crops where the estimated mean loss and damage per household was worth USD 3,170. This study reported that the rich shrimp farmers encountered proportionately more economic loss and damage than their poor counterparts. However, this does not mean that the poor suffered less. The current study found a range of non-economic loss and damage in different aspects of the shrimp farmers' household members such as unbearable mental pain, deterioration of health, physical injuries, disabilities, etc. and access to services (e.g., inadequate food, lack of safe drinking water, lack of medical facilities, disruption of education systems), social infrastructure (e.g., damage of roads and markets) and disturbance of cultural functions. The findings suggest that urgent short- and long-term actions may be taken to save the aquaculture farms and dependent livelihoods from economic and non-economic loss and damage to cyclones in future.

Statistics show that while the number of fires has decreased over the last decade, losses of human life and economic property due to fire have increased. Moreover, the number of large-scale fires that have occurred in recent years has resulted in heightened public anxiety. This study aims to identify a specific period of the year most vulnerable to fire, and fire trends, such as damage of fire to humans, to the economy, and different building types. For this purpose, we analyzed human and economic damages using statistics related to fire from 2007 to 2017 and provided a monthly distribution of fire damages both to humans and to the economy by building type. We also identified the relationship between the human damage and the economy damage, and compared the economic losses per casualty by building type. The human damage in residential buildings occupied the highest portion, whereas the economic damage of industrial buildings represented more than a half of all economic damage due to fire. The economic damage per casualty was shown highest for industrial buildings and has also increased rapidly in recent years.

This study is intended to propose a systematic approach for reliability-based assessment of life cycle cost (LCC) effectiveness and economic efficiency for cost-effective seismic upgrading of existing bridges. The LCC function is expressed as the sum of the upgrading cost and all the discounted life cycle damage costs, which is formulated as a function of the Park-Ang damage index and structural damage probability. The damage costs are expressed in terms of direct damage costs such as repair/replacement costs, human losses and property damage costs, and indirect damage costs such as road user costs and indirect regional economic losses. For dealing with a variety of uncertainties associated with earthquake loads and capacities, a simulation-based reliability approach is used. The SMART-DRAIN-2DX, which is a modified version of the well-known DRAIN-2DX, is extended by incor-porating LCC analysis based on the LCC function developed in the study. Economic efficiencies for optimal seismic upgradings of the continuous PC segmental bridges are assessed using the proposed LCC functions and benefit-cost ratio.

COVID-19 상황에서 경제적 침체는 개인의 경제적 피해 염려와 더불어 건강에도 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 만 19세 이상을 대상으로 한 지역사회건강조사 중 경제적 활동을 하고 있는 총 15,047명을 대상으로 인구사회적, 경제적 특성과 COVID-19로 인한 일상생활변화 영향과 관련된 건강행태가 경제적피해 염려에 영향을 주는지 분석하였다. 경제적 피해 염려에 영향을 주는 요인은 성별, 교육수준, 월 소득수준, 지위, 주관적 건강수준, 신체활동, 흡연으로 다른 특성보다도 경제적 피해염려에 영향을 미치고 있었다. 본 연구에서 남성(p=0.024) 고등학교 졸업자(p<0.001), 월 소득수준 101-300만원(p-=0.002), 임금근로자(p<0.001), 주관적 건강수준이 '비슷하다'고 응답한 대상자(p=0.009), 신체활동이 '감소하다'고 응답한 대상자(p<0.001), 흡연이 '비슷하다'고 응답한 대상자(p=0.016)에서 경제적 피해 염려가 높았다. COVID-19가 장기화될 가능성이 높고 사회적 거리두기가 상향될 가능성도 배제할 수 없어 경제적 피해로 인한 건강관리에 영향을 미치는 점을 고려하여 건강프로그램 개발 및 경제관련 재정 정책에 반영할 필요가 있다.

BACKGROUND: It is known that impacts of climate change on damage occurrence by insect pests and diseases are increasing. The negative effects of climate change on production will threaten our food security. It is needed that on the basis of analysis of the impacts, proper strategies in response to climate change are developed. METHODS AND RESULTS: The objective of this paper is to estimate impacts of climate change on rice damage occurrence by insect pests and diseases, using the panal model which analyzes both cross-section data and time series data. The result of an analysis on impacts of climate change on rice damage occurrence by pest insect and disease showed that the damage occurrence by Rice leaf roller and Rice water weevil increased if temperature increased, and damage occurrence by Stripe, Sheath blight, and Leaf Blast increased if precipitation(or amount of sunshine) increased(or decreased). CONCLUSION: Adaptation strategies, supplying weather forecasting information by region, developing systematical strategies for prevention of damage occurrence by pest insect and disease, analyzing the factors of damage occurrence by unexpected pest insect and disease, enforcing international cooperation for prevention of damage occurrence are needed to minimize the impacts of damage occurrence on rice production.

최근 멧돼지와 같은 야생동물에 의한 작물 및 시설물 피해가 매우 심각한 사회적 문제로 대두되고 있다. 이 연구는 산악형 국립공원 인근 산촌주민들의 야생동물로 인한 농작물 및 임산물 피해액을 추정하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 2016년 4월과 6월에 지리산 국립공원과 인접한 구례군 토지면에 위치하는 6개 산촌마을을 조사하였고, 84가구로부터 얻은 자료를 토대로 분석하였다. 2015년 기준, 84가구의 야생동물에 의한 농작물 및 임산물 피해 추정액은 총 1억 3,863만원이었고, 가구당 연평균 165만원의 피해를 입었다. 이 중 야생동물에 의한 피해액이 가장 큰 것은 밤, 고사리, 돌배, 복숭아, 감자 등의 순이었으나, 단위면적당 피해액이 가장 큰 것은 고구마, 복숭아, 옥수수, 감자 등의 농작물이었다. 구례군 전체 농작물 및 임산물 생산지의 잠재적인 야생동물 피해액은 연간 약 40억 원으로 추정되었고, 구례군의 야생동물 피해 보상을 위한 연평균 예산액은 피해액의 0.9%에 불과한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 잠재적인 야생동물 피해에 대비하여 피해보상제도의 실효성을 높이기 위해서는 지자체의 재정자립도와 야생동물 피해의 책임을 고려하여 국가가 재정을 지원해야 함을 시사한다. 또한 산촌의 지속가능성을 위한 안정적인 작물 생산을 위해서는 형평성을 고려한 보상정책을 개발하고, 야생동물 피해예방시설의 효과성과 예방 지원 정책을 개선해야 한다.

This thesis introduces the trends of korean courts' ruling on damages in medical malpractice cases for past 10 years. First of all, Korean courts' ruling have had a tendency to pay only non-economic damages for not taking the informed consent. If a doctor cannot get the informed consent from a patient, he compensate only non-economic damages for the infringement of self-determination rights of patient. It's enough for the plaintiff to prove the infringement of self-determination rights, if the plaintiff just want to get non-economic damages. The Korean Supreme court have ruled that if plaintiffs want to get economic damages for the infringement of self-determination rights or informed consent, plaintiffs must prove that the infringement of self-determination rights is the proximate cause of the economic damages of patient. There is another tendency for the Korean Supreme court to limit the damages in medical malpractice cases on the ground of patient's diseases' dangerousness or patient's idiosyncrasy. In the past courts often limit the damages only to 70~80% of total damages, but now a days courts mostly limit the damages to 20~30%. This thesis also introduce the Korean courts' trends about Valuing damages in personal injury actions awarded for gratuitously rendered nursing and medical care.

When an earthquake occurs, the severity of damage is determined by natural factors such as the magnitude of the earthquake, the epicenter distance, soil properties, and type of the structures in the affected area, as well as the socio-economic factors such as the population, disaster prevention measures, and economic power of the community. This study evaluated the direct economic loss due to building damage and the community's recovery ability. Building damage was estimated using fragility functions due to the design earthquake by the seismic design code. The usage of the building was determined from the information in the building registrar. Direct economic loss was evaluated using the standard unit price and estimated building damage. The standard unit price was obtained from the Korean Real Estate Board. The community's recovery capacity was calculated using nine indicators selected from regional statistical data. After appropriate normalization and factor analysis, the recovery ability score was calculated through relative evaluation with neighboring cities.
