The eco-tourism has caused a variety of problems between use and conservation. The situation requires introduction of scientific management techniques, such as controlling the number of visitors to the destination and identifying appropriate carrying capacity. Getz, LAC, VIM and VERP have been developed for this purpose and they are the management model based on carrying capacity that have been explored for introduction and application in Korea. However, it is necessary to modify and supplement the management model to suit the purpose of ecotourism characteristics and the status of ecotourism in Korea. Therefore, we identified the problems of the existing management model and presented three improvements. strengthen the interdependent linkages between carrying capacity and the management goals; improve the tourism opportunity distribution model; improve the phased management. It will help many ecotourism sites to effectively manage the impacts of visitors in Korea with a minimum amount of effort and costs.

Global tourism has increased throughout the 1990s, with the biggest surge occurring in the Asia-Pacific region. Long-distance travel is also increasing, and at a rate faster than the global average. The opportunities for event tourism appear to be strong almost everywhere, although we know from recent history that recessions like IMF impacted on these destinations. Along with this upward trend, competition for more desirable tourists is also surging, so destinations cannot be complacent (Getz, i997). Event tourism is appearing as the powerful method In the fierce competition around the tourism industry. This paper investigated the safety factors considered by visitors of 2000 Gyeongju World Culture Expo in Korea and analyzed the correlation between the safety factors and the demographic characteristic of the visitors.

Global(mega) event has increased throughout the 1990s, with the biggest surge occurring in the Asia-Pacific region. Along with this upward trend, competition for more desirable tourists is also surging, so destinations cannot be complacent (Getz, 1997). Event is appearing as the powerful method in the fierce competition around the industry. International events like 99 Hanam Environment Expo have been held annually in Korea since 1991 in which the local government system started. The main roles of event are to enhance the image of communities and attract tourists (Kotler and Haider and Rein, 1993), to strengthen destination attractiveness as drawing power (Mill and Morrison, 1985), and so on. Focused on the destination image, the research (Sirakaya and Sheppard and McLellan, 1997) about the effect of perceived safety at a potential vacation destination showed that destination marketers, travel agents, and hospitality industry members should be concerned with improving their images when such images are negative with regard to safety. Event industry in Korea does not seriously recognize the importance of the safety management against accidents known for tarnishing the destination images. Moreover few safety standards or studies for event industry can be found. This paper investigated the safety factors considered by visitors of 99 Hanam Environment Expo and analyzed the correlation between the safety factors and the demographic characteristics of the visitors.

Purpose : The purpose of this study is to evaluate morphology of acromion in relation to age and symmetry in asymptomatic adults. Materials and Methods: Seventy five asymptomatic adults were divided into two groups by age(A group of age twenties and B group of age over forty) and both acromial outlet views were obtained. One hundred fifty radiographs were typed and assessed radiologically by methods of Getz and Liotard. Results: The relative percentages of acromial types I, Ⅱ, and Ⅲ were 3%, 90% and 7% in the A group and 6%, 82% and 12% in the B group respectively, Subacromial peak and spinoacromial angle were 4.3mm, 82 degrees in the A group and 4.6mm, 78 degrees in the B group. Conclusion: Incidence of type is not related to age in normal adult and type II is the most common type. Spinoacromial angle is decreased in older age group and type Ⅲ.
