For the national economic development, the participation of women in the social and economic activities is crucial. The popularization of start-ups, digital transformation, and WEconomy trends have lowered the barriers to opportunities for women to start a business and provide an environment in which women can grow faster. This paper examines the significance and process of success of women entrepreneurs and the characteristics of innovation strategies and achievements by linking the recently changing business environment of a company, factors influencing the success of women entrepreneurship, and innovation activities. To this end, four companies' cases were analyzed in the fields of distribution/service and consumer products/services, which are areas of large investment among female startups. The result shows that women entrepreneurs recognize the meaning of success as creating and continuing to create a 'corporate value through establishing a trust relationship with customers' within the 'balance between personal life and work.' In terms of the business ecosystem, women entrepreneurs strive for 'business activities based on the win-win growth of consumers, producers and sellers' for success, and rather 'focus on the process with a problem-solving approach' rather than achieving performance-oriented goals. Also through excellent power of observation, flexibility, and execution power, women entrepreneurs conduct business by adapting to changing trends. In terms of innovation activities, the innovation strategy of women-led companies puts priority on 'creating the value customers want' and focuses on innovation in the 'customer-centric business model' rather than technological innovation. As such, women-led companies show several differentiated characteristics, which enable them to create corporate value and achieve sustainable growth. The barriers to challenges and opportunities for women to start a business have been lowered, and an ecosystem has been created for female startups to grow. But why are there still so few women entrepreneurs, and the answer to where we need to close these gaps is ultimately a close analysis and investigation of the field. We must present milestones for growth steps through the accumulation of case studies of women startups that have exited. In addition, women can stand as economic agents only when the policy targets are subdivided and specific approaches to child-rearing and childcare for women entrepreneurs must be taken. This paper expects to serve as basic data for follow-up studies and become the basis of research for women entrepreneurs to grow as economic agents.

This study was conducted to predict reduction of soybean yield as affected by different densities of Cuscuta pentagona. All data were fitted to Cousens' rectangular hyperbola model to estimate parameters for predicting soybean yield loss. The yield of soybean in the various densities (1 to 48 plants $m^{-2}$) of C. pentagona reduced by 80.3 to 99.7%, respectively. Among yield components, number of pods was the most significantly influenced by weed interferences. The prediction model for soybean yield as affected by weed competition was as follows: Y= 274.6783/(1+4.3522X), $r^2$=0.999 in C. pentagona. Economic threshold levels calculated using cousens' equation was 0.004 plants $m^{-2}$ in C. pentagona.

The purpose of this study was to verify how the vocational education for training industrial workforce as a national human resource development (NHRD) system has undergone a transition process in relation to the national economic, industrial, and socio-cultural contexts. First, how vocational education as an industrial workforce training system has changed in accordance with Korea's economic environment, industrial development, and social changes; second, what are the main factors that influenced the role and importance of vocational education; and third, vocational education as a system for training industrial workforce and training workforce in science and engineering were analyzed differently from the perspective of the NHRD model. To this end, domestic and international academic journal papers, research reports, and thesis were investigated and classified by period, and major changes in vocational education were analyzed in relation to economic, industrial, and social issues and policies by period. As a result of the research, first, as the industry advanced, the level of vocational education increased and the scope expanded. Second, vocational education tended to shrink gradually after the manufacturing industry base, and especially secondary vocational education tended to decline after the national industry focused on light industry. Third, since the 1970s, the diversification of the NHRD and jobs has resulted in wage gaps depending on the level of education, which has increased the preference for university education and avoided secondary vocational education. In addition, a NHRD model focusing on training science and engineering workforce was proposed to compare the existing NHRD model focusing on overall vocational education, and it was revealed that the NHRD needs to be subdivided into various fields or levels to derive a model and examine changes. From the results of the study, vocational education in Korea, especially in secondary vocational education, has declined due to large impacts on socio-cultural perception due to economic growth, enthusiasm for education, and external shocks such as the financial crisis, and the long-term effort to change this perception is suggested to overcome the crisis of vocational education.

In this paper, we present a new empirical method to estimate the environmental efficiency of decision making units. We propose a model with a new approach that describes a network process consisting of two stages, production and wastewater abatement based on the data extracted from 51 Korean industrial complexes. Taking into account the inter-dependency of two stages, we show a process how to decompose the environmental efficiency into production efficiency and abatement efficiency. Moreover, our new proposed method can be used to explain the information on network relationship between economic growth and environmental protection.

1980년대 후기부터 교통정책의 우선 목표는 지역경제성장 자체가 교통문제를 스스로 해결할 수 있도록 하기 위하여 종래의 관리 중시의 정책은 다시 토지이용 정책으로 변화를 초래하엿다. 오늘날 대도시는 개개 졍제활동 주체들의 동적인 경제 행태에근거하여 분산구조를 띠고 있다. 이러한 동적인 경제행태에 미치는 요소들은 교통체계와 토지이용과 상호연관성의 연구에 필수적인 지가, 인구분포, 통행행태등이다. 그러나 전통적인 단핵도시 모형은 대도시의 분산구조형태의 동적인 과정을 설명하는데는 한계가 있다. 본 연구는 대도시의 변천과정을-도심 및 부심의 출현·소멸현상-설명함으로써 도시교통정책 필수적인 입지와 통행패턴에 대한 새로운 동태적 이론의 기초를 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위하여 지역경제 성장과 도시공간구조와의 동태적관계를 통합하는 토지이용과 교통의 연속 모형을 개발·응용하였다. 개발된 모형에서는 교통량에 따른 교통비용, 도시공간구조로 인한 외부효과들, 경제활동주체들의 비동질성, 이주비용, 그리고 집적 이익등이 매기마다 내생적으로 결정되어 대도시의 공간구조 변화를 설명한다. 경제 호라동주체들간의 ? 호물리적 교류는 소득 증대에 의하여 경제구조가 변함에 따라 새로이 결정된다. 가상적 도시와 자료를 가지고 실험한 결과 비동질적인 경제주체들의 불균형적 성장이 장기적으로 도시구조에 영향을 미치며, 기본적인 경제행위에 따라 장기동태적인 과정을 통하여나타나는 도시의 분산구조형태의 중요성을 보여주고 있다. 또한 교통비용의 변화에 따른 민감도분석을 통하여 모형의 실용성을 검정하였다.

The restaurant industry in the United States can serve as a model to executives in other countries. Over the past fifty years it has developed from a fragmented industry dominated by small firms operating locally to a huge, mature industry dominated by national and international firms. 1 anticipate that this scenario will be carried throughout the globe as nations expand their economic growth and local consumers become more affluent and sophisticated. The restaurant companies able to develop superior strategies while taking advantage of the opportunities in the business environment will succeed while less sophisticated firms will be hampered by their inability to understand the strategic issues of the marketplace.

Nihombashi is located in the central area of Tokyo, Japan. Tokyo has been the capital in Japan since the Edo period, which started approximately 400 years ago, and has accepted a variety of cultures, human resources, businesses for the last 400 years. This has resulted in building up the present prosperity. The Sumida River, one of the symbols of Tokyo and its tributaries including the Kanda River and the Nihombashi River, flows through the Nihombashi district. The river and tributaries used to benefit to the City of Edo. Due to the economic development and the industrial growth in Tokyo, however, they were polluted and lost their functions. In 1960s, approximately 40 years ago, the Sumida River became so dirty that local citizens kept away from it. The Nihombashi River was covered with an expressway, which was obscuring the river view. Since 1970s, local communities have proposed to rehabilitate rivers in Tokyo successively, and have proceeded with measures for river floods, improvement of sewage systems and construction of water purification facilities. Consequently, the quality of the river water was considerably improved in 1990. The stagnant rivers were turned into ones that local citizens were physically able to come close by. Today, restoring of the environment and the appearance of the city in the old days, Nihombashi district has been proposed as a model city of the future, which is alive with history and culture and harmonizing with rivers. The concept is "To Create, To Reserve, To Restore." This paper introduces a case study of the urban development, in which the local communities and public authorities collaborated with and proposed a brand-new style of the urban city harmonizing with the environment.

The purpose of this study is to overview domestic and foreign trends in the study of the landscape evaluation through new framework of landscape evaluation studies. 108 studies on the landscape evaluation are summarized and categorized into theoretical studies, verification of theories, development of evaluation methods and applications in physical planning. Major theories in the landscape evaluation came from the psycho-physics, the evolutionary theory ann the cultural-learning theory, and were verified and applied into physical planning. Early experimental researches on landscape evaluation, based on psycho-physics, were focused on relatively simple responses to landscapes. But many studies have been gradually related to the evolutionary theory and the cultural learning theory, emphasizing biological and cultural effects on landscape evaluation. Especially, Appleton's Prospect-Refuge theory' and Kaplans' 'Information Processing model' have very strong influence in landscape evaluation. Relatively there have been many application researches in Korea, which tells there have been strong needs to solve pending practical problems caused by the rapid economic and social growth for several decades. Almost of applications in physical planning are focused on physical features of landscapes, but for more comprehensive landscape evaluation, many other factors such as cognitive and sociocultural variables should be integrated into the whole evaluation system. As a result of reviewing of landscape evaluation studies, I found the overall domestic and foreign trends and the necessity of more research on the applications in physical planning. Because this study mainly focused on academic researches, for more appropriate landscape evaluation and management there should be more practical researches including various approaches.

Purpose - Sharing economy is a promising research topic as a complementary approach for solving difficult issues resulting from market economy. Motive factors for consumer participation in sharing economy are necessary to facilitate the growth of sharing economy. This study analyzes motives for participating in sharing economy using samples from a car sharing service in South Korea. Research design, data, and methodology - Four hypotheses drawn from a new research model integrating the relationships between economic and social value, social value, and the intention to use sharing economy services were proposed. 292 valid samples were collected from Socar users in South Korea. Multiple regression analysis was employed to test the hypotheses. Results - An empirical study identified the importance of convenience and time savings as determinants of intention to use continuously a car sharing service. Cost savings and social value did not significantly influence the intention to use car sharing service. Conclusions - The present study implies that managers working in sharing economy don't have to miss a role of convenience. Although a new finding implies that convenience is an important factor influencing car sharing service, the present study has a limitation of generality that samples are mostly collected from the age range of 20 to 30 years.
