Recently, the CO2 emission and energy consumption have become critical global issues to decide the future of nations. Especially, the spread of IT products and the increased use of internet and web applications result in the energy consumption and CO2 emission of IT industry though information technologies drive global economic growth. EU, the United States, Japan and other developed countries are using IT related environmental regulations such as WEEE(Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment), RoHS(Restriction of the use of Certain Hazardous Substance), REACH(Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of CHemicals) and EuP(Energy using Product), and have established systematic green business/IT strategies to enhance the competitiveness of IT industry. For example, the Japan government proposed the "Green IT initiative" for being compatible with economic growth and environmental protection. Not only energy saving technologies but energy saving systems have been developed for accomplishing sustainable development. Korea's CO2 emission and energy consumption continuously have grown at comparatively high rates. They are related to its industrial structure depending on high energy-consuming industries such as iron and steel Industry, automotive industry, shipbuilding industry, semiconductor industry, and so on. In particular, export proportion of IT manufacturing is quite high in Korea. For example, the global market share of the semiconductor such as DRAM was about 80% in 2008. Accordingly, Korea needs to establish a systematic strategy to respond to the global environmental regulations and to maintain competitiveness in the IT industry. However, green competitiveness of Korea ranked 11th among 15 major countries and R&D budget for green technology is not large enough to develop energy-saving technologies for infrastructure and value chain of low-carbon society though that grows at high rates. Moreover, there are no concrete action plans in Korea. This research aims to deduce the priorities of the Korean green business/IT strategies to use multi attribute weighted average method. We selected a panel of 19 experts who work at the green business related firms such as HP, IBM, Fujitsu and so on, and selected six assessment indices such as the urgency of the technology development, the technology gap between Korea and the developed countries, the effect of import substitution, the spillover effect of technology, the market growth, and the export potential of the package or stand-alone products by existing literature review. We submitted questionnaires at approximately weekly intervals to them for priorities of the green business/IT strategies. The strategies broadly classify as follows. The first strategy which consists of the green business/IT policy and standardization, process and performance management and IT industry and legislative alignment relates to government's role in the green economy. The second strategy relates to IT to support environment sustainability such as the travel and ways of working management, printer output and recycling, intelligent building, printer rationalization and collaboration and connectivity. The last strategy relates to green IT systems, services and usage such as the data center consolidation and energy management, hardware recycle decommission, server and storage virtualization, device power management, and service supplier management. All the questionnaires were assessed via a five-point Likert scale ranging from "very little" to "very large." Our findings show that the IT to support environment sustainability is prior to the other strategies. In detail, the green business /IT policy and standardization is the most important in the government's role. The strategies of intelligent building and the travel and ways of working management are prior to the others for supporting environment sustainability. Finally, the strategies for the data center consolidation and energy management and server and storage virtualization have the huge influence for green IT systems, services and usage This research results the following implications. The amount of energy consumption and CO2 emissions of IT equipment including electrical business equipment will need to be clearly indicated in order to manage the effect of green business/IT strategy. And it is necessary to develop tools that measure the performance of green business/IT by each step. Additionally, intelligent building could grow up in energy-saving, growth of low carbon and related industries together. It is necessary to expand the affect of virtualization though adjusting and controlling the relationship between the management teams.

2010년 이후부터 성범죄자 신상정보 등록기간이 20년으로 확대되는 등 지역사회 내에서 성범죄자에 대한 지도, 관리를 강화하려는 경향이 점차 뚜렷해지고 있다. 그러나 성범죄자의 범죄행동 패턴 및 인구사회학적 특징, 그리고 보호관찰 취소 요인 관련 연구는 많지 않은 상황이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 2013년에 서울보호관찰소에서 형이 종료된 성범죄자의 공식 판결문 및 보호관찰기록을 바탕으로, 성범죄자의 경고장 발송에 영향을 미치는 요인을 로지스틱 회귀분석 모델로 분석하고자 하였다. 무엇보다도 성범죄자에 대한 경고장 발송 요인이 일반범죄자의 그것과 어떻게 다른지 살펴보고 두 모델을 비교 분석하는데 연구의 초점을 두었다. 로지스틱 회귀분석 결과, 성범죄자 집단에서는 보호관찰 준수사항 위반으로 인한 경고장 발송 가능성이 과거 전과횟수에 영향을 받아 유의미하게 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 달리 말하면, 성범죄자의 경우 인구사회학적 변인(연령, 혼인관계, 직장유형)이나 가해자-피해자 관계, 보호관찰 부가처분 등의 관련 변인이 준수사항 위반 가능성에 영향을 미치지 못하고, 오로지 성범죄자의 전과횟수만 경고장 발송 가능성을 증가시키는 것으로 볼 수 있다. 반면, 일반범죄자 집단에서는 성범죄자 모델과 달리 혼인상태나 무직 상황, 가해자-피해자 낯선 사람 관계 여부, 폭력행동 여부, 사회봉사명령 및 수강명령 부가처분 여부가 경고장 발송 가능성에 영향을 미치는 핵심 요인인 것으로 볼 수 있다. 이하 분석 결과와 관련된 정책적 논의를 심도 있게 다루어 본다.
