Nationwide survey for angular leaf spot (ALS) of strawberry caused by Xanthomonas fragariae, a quarantine disease in Korea, was performed in November 2012. In the survey, ALS was observed in eighty eight farmers' fields of Sukok, Jinju and Okjong, Hadong in Gyeongnam Province, and one field in Namwon of Jeollabuk Province. The infected field of Namwon closed immediately after the disease diagnosed ALS. In detailed survey of Sukok and Okjong areas during February 2012 to January 2015, ALS occurrence decreased from 45% farmer's fields on December 2012 to 5% on January 2015, and from 38% on November 2013 to 5% on January 2015, respectively. Phenotypic characteristics of the Korean strains were similar to those of the type strain of X. fragariae. A multilocus sequence analysis of Korean strains of X. fragariae was conducted using four genes; dnaK, fyuA, gyrB, and rpoD. All the Korean strains had the same sequences of the four genes. The concatenated sequences of the Korean strains shared 100% with that of the type strain of X. fragariae. All strawberry cultivars tested were susceptible to the strains of X. fragariae two weeks after inoculation. The inoculated sites were necrosis and expanded, which were rated 4 based on evaluation of inoculation site.

This research had selected current rural village development projects with the representative meaning of rural regional development projects in order to analyze results of projects and various policies of the government to enhance the quality of resident life and to develop rural regions. For the analysis, this research had selected 2 districts of the case study in Gyeongnam-province and Jeonnam-province, respectively. In the result of the satisfaction analysis on the projects, it was considerably difficult to analyze satisfaction degree by using a clear distinction of each region type when promoting overall project. However, this research confirmed that there were some differences about residents' understanding of the project and satisfaction degree in the process of projects according to the regional characteristics (rural and mountain areas). In general, two districts' residents of rural areas expressed relatively more negative feedbacks in process of the project compared to two district residents of mountain areas. This research suggested that it is needed to have residents' understanding of the project, a restoration of village community spirit to help each other and to cooperate, fostering a desirable leader, establishing effective village regulations, transition into an open and inclusive attitude, promoting rural village development project, and realization of the operating method in order to have an amicable project process in the future.

As the research for analyzing the awareness and the performance level for infection control of radiological technologists working at the clinic located in Gyoungsangnam province, this study was conducted to provide the basic education data of infection control for radiological technologist who works in the clinic. During July 14, 2014 to March 31, 2015, after we sent out a total of 150 questionnaires for the survey to radiological technologists working at the clinic located in Gyoungsangnam province, 131 questionnaires suitable for research were analysis by using SPSS 18.0 statistical analysis software. As the infection control factors, a total of 60 items about the awareness and the performance level for infection control (12 items for infection control characteristics included) were analyzed. Descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, correlation, and regression analysis were performed based on the general characteristics of the study subjects. Regarding the awareness factor for infection control, the total awareness level was high as $4.15{\pm}.05$ and the total performance level was also high as $4.05{\pm}.05$. Through these results, although the performance level was slightly lower than awareness level, the level of infection control of the radiological technologists working at the clinics located in Gyeongnam was analyzed to be relatively high. The infection control of the clinic's radiological technologist should be carried out through the continuous infection education and prevention activities of the hospital staff, and radiological technologist working in clinics should also be positioned as specialists in infection control.

Quantitative classification of insect fauna in transgenic rice in 2 LMO(Living genetically Modified Organism) isolated paddy fields (Gyeongsang National University, Gyeongbuk National University) and rice in 4 paddy fields(Duryang 1, Duryang 2, Hwagye 1, Hwagye 2), were evaluated for consecutive 5 years (2013 to 2017) in Sacheon, Gyeongnam province, and for 2 consecutive years (2015 to 2016) in Gunwi Gyeongbuk province. Sampling insect fauna were evaluated by black light trapping, sticky trapping, visual surveying, and sweeping methods in each target paddy field, respectively. A total of 37,941 individuals, of 464 species from 15 orders, were collected in Sacheon for 5 years. A total of 10,030 individuals, of 366 species from 13 orders, were collected in Gunwi for 2 years. Based on results of comparison between transgenic and non-transgenic paddy fields for 5 consecutive years, the similarity index between LMO paddy field and common paddy field is not different. Thus, this difference is not due to the environment, not the LMO.

A series of soil surveys was conducted in 102 high yielding paddies randomly selected. Each paddy field was the contest winner's in a county, a province or the nationwide during 1976 to 1979. The data on soils and yields of the paddies were evaluated to find out the better practices. Cultivation practices such as intermittent irrigation, deep ploughing and application of soil improvement materials were intensively carried out with the increasing rates of yield. But, the yield of rice in the high yielding paddies was not significantly different according to the paddy soil type or the suitability calss. About 70% of the high yielding paddies were distributed in loam and silty clay loam. The properties of top soil in the high yielding paddies were more improved as compared with the common paddies. The cultivated soil depth and nutrient holding capacity were thought of as the important soil factors for high yield.

This study explores methods of allocating costs incurring from construction of environmental infrastructure among local governments involved in the project. Principles for equitable cost-allocation are reviewed, and pros/cons associated with different methods are examined. Proportional Allocation method, Shapley Value method, SCRB (Separable Cost-Remaining Benefits) method are applied to a case of swage treatment plant in Gyeongnam province region, Korea. It is found that the SCRB method produces the most equitable result, followed by Shapley method. The Proportional Allocation method, although easy to understand and simple to calculate, is found to be skewed in favor of small town.

The extreme heat watch and warnings (EHWW) which is constructed as a part of the climate change adaptation took effect in the summer of 2008, but active response actions failed to be taken because of low perception among citizens. Therefore, a survey investigation targeting citizens residing in Busan and the Gyeongnam province was conducted in order to know the perception regarding EHWW issued by the Korea Meteorological Administration, to identify the main media through which information is acquired, and to propose an improvement measures which may enhance the usefulness and the degree of satisfaction of weather information. The results are as follows; The perception regarding EHWW was not very high as it remained at 59.8% in terms of percentile. Although the statistical significance was not fulfilled in the categories of gender or occupation, significant differences did exist among age groups. The main medium through which citizens acquired information regarding EHWW was the television, which was followed in order by the internet, acquaintances, short message service (SMS), radio, newspapers, the 131 weather hotline, and other media. The usefulness of EHWW was somewhat high (67.2%), and female students were found to utilize the information to a higher degree than male students. The statistics on the level of satisfaction regarding the weather information (65.4%) revealed that most respondents were satisfied. Housewives, professional, and the elder age groups exhibited great satisfaction, leading to the conclusions that the level of perception and interest regarding to the special weather reports (SWR) have an impact on satisfaction of SWR.
