Big data analysis is actively used for collecting and analyzing direct information on related topics in each field of society. Applying big data analysis technology in education field is increasingly interested in Korea, because applying this technology helps to identify the effectiveness of education methods and policies and applying them for policy formulation. In this paper, we propose our approach of utilizing big data analysis technology in education field. We focus on free semester program, one of the current core education policies, and we analyze the main points of interests and differences in the free semester through analysis and visualization of texts that are written on the operation reports prepared by each school. We compare regional differences in key characteristics and interests based on the free semester operation reports from middle schools particularly at Seoul and Gangwon-do regions. In conclusion, applying and utilizing big data analysis technology according to the needs and requirements of education field is a great significance.

This study aims to provide implications for the realization of the SDG goal for higher education through a comparative analysis of the UK and Australia's inclusive higher education policies. The cases of the UK and Australia were chosen for analysis since both countries have developed various policies to strengthen the inclusiveness of higher education since the early 2000s. The implications for the Korean government are as follows. First, it should approach the concept of underprivileged students by applying various categories such as 'race, region, and etc.,' not just for a category of income level. Second, it should enhance higher education opportunities for underprivileged students not only by expanding admission opportunities for them, but also by assisting them to adapt to college life and develop a student career. Third, it should provide underprivileged students with the customized support in consideration of their characteristics and merits. Finally, it should develop the "Inclusive Higher Education Project" which would help them complete higher education courses through regional partnerships.

Libraries' functions include not only being a treasure house for cultural heritage and cultural development but also comprehensive functions such as lifelong learning and human resources development. At the present time, the Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development(MOE) has legal infrastructure and leadership which can develop and manage the nation's overall human and intellectual resources unlike previous Ministry of Education. For library to evolve as a stronghold for developing human resources and lifelong education, library policies must be unified into MOE which can provide the needed leadership. With direct management of libraries by MOE, which is currently overseeing and coordinating the nation's human resources development policies, library policies can be implemented systematically, mutual cooperation between libraries will be easier, and the link between library policies and the national and regional human resources development policies can be made.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the child care support policies and the birth rate in 33 OECD countries. In the structural equation modelling, the birth rate was the dependent variable while the cash-support policies, the child-care facility service policies, and the tax benefits policies were the independent variables. The analysis showed that the most effective factor on the birth rate was the child-care facility service policies. Regarding the effectiveness of the policy expenses, the cash-support policies showed stable fluctuation of effectiveness according to the fluctuation of cash amount, the child-care facility service policies. In conclusion, in order to increase the effectiveness of the cash-support policies, the adequate cost calculation to decrease the parents' burden for child-bearing, re-allocation of budget, and support methods and timing should be continually discussed. In addition, for the better effectiveness of the facility service policies, more various, comprehensive and high-quality facility service policies that could balance home and work, should be implemented.

This paper will look at the challenges that children with migrant background face and their problems while reviewing the policies on children with migrant background in a critical perspective. In conclusion, it gives some suggestions to help establish more open society with multi-cultural values espoused.

Objectives: Recent movements in urban planning propose a promotion of health condition as one of its emerging topics as growing body of evidence suggests that individual health is correlated with the built environment. The concept of healthy city was introduced in Korea and many local governments were tried to implement relevant policies. However, empirical studies were insufficient for understanding the relationship between health and the built environment. Most studies and policies were viewed and implemented from public health perspective. The purpose of this study is to estimate a value of healthy city as an activity-friendly environment. Methods: The 195-respondent survey data in Seoul Metropolitan Area was used for estimating the perception of healthy cities. Results: Survey results reported that more than 90% of respondents did walking and/or biking regularly. Moreover, they were willing to pay won3,695 per month for creating healthy cities. Conclusions: This study confirmed that the consideration of built environmental factor was necessary in policies of healthy city. This can offer insights into how to manage and develop the policies of healthy city to help promote individual health conditions.
