This paper examines the value of unpaid care work using the 2004 time use survey and compared them to economic measures such as GDP, tax revenue, value of paid work, government expenditure on care-related personnel expenditure and remuneration of paid care workers. It employs the mean earnings approach and generalist approach. It finds that the value of unpaid care work (compared to GDP) is between 18% and 29% using different approaches. The value of care of household members and for others in the community (person care) is between 5% and 8%. Furthermore, the value of unpaid care work is greater than that of direct tax regardless of the approach used. In addition, the value of person care is estimated at between 22% and 35% of the total value of the paid economy. The value of unpaid care work far exceeds the value of government expenditure on care-related personnel and the remuneration of paid care workers. This research suggests that unpaid care work (mostly conducted by women) should be recognized as part of production activities. This is because caring and household maintenance activities are necessary for individual well-being but also it contributes to the national economic competitiveness particularly through human resource development.

Objectives: This study analyzed the factors that influence the mental health of adolescents in Korea, China, and Japan. Methods: The survey was conducted in each country between November 2008 and January 2009. The respondents were 1,390 Korean, Chinese, and Japanese students aged between 14 years and 16. The mental health was measured by the School Mental Health Scale of Ochanomizu University (2004), which is composed of six scales: physical symptoms, eating disorders, depression, interpersonal relationship, powerlessness, and impulsiveness. Results: The relationship with family and friends are strongly associated with mental health. As for Korean and Chinese female students experienced mental illness more than male. Regarding Korean students, the time to use TV computer game is related to relationship and impulsiveness. The mobile phone use more than three hours is related to depression and relationship for Japanese, and the number of family member less than three, is associated with powerlessness for Chinese. Conclusion: Regular and effective health education is required in order to improve students lifestyles and family and peer relationships. This study also offers the fundamental information for health promotion programs for Korean, Chinese and Japanese students.

Purpose: Housing is the most essential element for well-being in a society. The government would continuously supply decent housings to make a better living condition for people. As various housing policies have been implemented into practice, the effectiveness of policies need to be assessed and improved to rearrange the financial resources. The indicators, such as quality of life, housing supply amount and etc, could be used to estimate housing policy to provide a guidance for a new policy direction. Though various indicators are utilized to assess the policy effect, most of the items are depend upon a relativeness in aspect to assessment goal, items, time and its weighting. Therefore, it needs an absolute indicator to compare the policy effectiveness regardless of time elapse or items. In this paper, it developed the housing welfare indicator to assess the level of living condition, utilizing the Gini coefficient which is used for explanation on income distribution. Method: To suggest an inequity indicator, this paper used Gini coefficient to explain the level of living condition which is used on economics to provide the level of income distribution. Data are collected through the Korea Housing Survey by Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport between 2006 and 2014. Indicators of living condition focused on the development of the estimation model using the frequency of room use. Result: Gini coefficient between 2004 and 2014 is about 1.5 score except in year 2013, and the trend of score has been decreased slowly which means the inequality gradually improved. In this result, it implies the living condition and distribution level would be improved than before.

Products developed in this research is a software which can transfer the type of shape(.shp) into the type of ascii using the land cover data and the topography data in the metropolitan area of Seoul. In addition, it can calculate the $CO_2$ flux according to distribution of plants within the land cover data. The $CO_2$ flux is calculated by the experimental equation which is compose of the meteorological parameters such as the solar radiation and the air temperature. The net flux was shown in about $-19ton/km^2$ by removing $CO_2$ through the photosynthesis during daytime, and in 2 ton/km2 by producing it through the respiration during nighttime on 10 August 2004, the maximum day of air temperature during the period of 3yr(2001 to 2004), in the metropolitan area of Seoul. Spatial distribution of the air temperature and the wind field is simulated by substituting the middle classification of the land cover map data, upgraded by the Korean Ministry of Environment(KME), for the land-use data of the United States Geological Survey(USGS) within the Meteorological Mesoscale Model Version 5(MM5) on 10 August 2006 in the metropolitan area of Seoul. Difference of the air temperature between both data was shown in the maximum range of $-2^{\circ}C\;to\;2.9^{\circ}C$, and the air temperature due to the land use data of KME was higher than that of USGS in average $0.4^{\circ}C$. Also, those of wind vectors were meanly lower than that of USGS in daytime and nighttime. Furthermore, the hourly time series of Volatile Organic Components(VOCs) is calculated by using the Biosphere Emission and Interaction System Version 2(BEIS2) including the new land cover data and the meteorological parameters such as the air temperature and so]ar insolation. It is possible to calculate the concentration of ozone due to the biogenic emission of VOCs.

본 연구는 노인 재가서비스의 확대가 노인을 돌보는 가족 구성원의 생활시간에 미친 효과를 분석하였다. 고령화와 가족구조의 변화 등으로 노인에 대한 가족의 돌봄부담이 가중되면서 공적 노인돌봄서비스를 확대해야 한다는 사회적 공감대가 형성되었고, 2000년대 이후부터 관련 제도가 본격화되었다. 본 연구에서는 가족의 노인돌봄 부담을 구성원이 직접 노인을 돌보는 부분과 이로 인해 노동이나 가사, 여가 등의 다른 주요 생활에 제약을 받는 부분으로 구분하고, 노인 재가서비스의 확대로 이러한 부담이 감소하였는지를 확인하였다. 분석자료는 통계청의 생활시간자료를 이용하였으며, 제도 확대의 효과는 건강이 취약한 노인을 돌보는 중하위 소득수준의 가구를 처치집단으로 삼아서 비교적 건강한 노인을 돌보는 가구 및 고소득 가구와의 비교를 통해 제도 효과를 추정하는 삼중차이(DDD) 방법을 통해 확인하였다. 분석결과, 노인 재가서비스의 확대는 노인을 돌보는 가족 구성원의 노인돌봄 시간을 감소시켰다. 이는 제도 확대의 목적과 부합하는 결과이지만, 돌봄 시간의 감소 정도가 크지 않았고, 여성 가구원에게만 그러한 효과가 관측되었다는 점에서 한계도 드러났다. 또한 노인돌봄 시간이 감소한 여성 가구원의 경우에도, 가사, 노동, 여가, 비노인돌봄 및 개인유지 등의 다른 생활시간 범주에서는 유의미한 변화를 보이지 않았다. 가족의 노인돌봄 부담을 실질적으로 줄이기 위해서는 공적돌봄의 대체효과를 높이기 위한 노력이 더 필요해 보인다.

Objectives : An outbreak of acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (AHC) caused by coxsackie A24 (CA24) virus occurred in South Korea in 2002. CA24 was isolated for the first time from patients with AHC. Therefore, this study was conducted to understand the transmission routes and prevent another AHC outbreaks. Methods : The authors conducted a questionnaire survey among 1,730 students from 2 middle schools and 1 technical high school in Gyeongju city. For statistical analysis the chi-square test was used, and chi-square for trend method showing a level of significance less than p<0.05 was proven to be significant. Variables which were proven to be significant in univariate analysis were analysed by multiple logistic regression. Results : The attack rate was 57.1%. The student groups with rubbing one s own eyes, computer usage, and sharing cellular phone had a significantly higher AHC attack rate (p<0.05). According to the multiple logistic regression, the odds ratios for male, high school, computer use, sharing cellular phone, and rubbing one s own eyes were significant (p<0.05). Conclusion : The most significant feature of this outbreak was that many students rubbed their own eyes following contact with AHC patients in a deliberate attempt to avoid going to school. Other transmission methods were computer usage and sharing cellular phone. In the future, health and school authorities must plan new strategies for the prevention of AHC.

This study aims to examine constraints on visits to urban community parks and to find ways to elevate the efficient use of parks. To achieve this, the study relied on empirical study method and the descriptive method; additionally, present condition survey was performed with a user interview, on the assumption that a park visit is a form of leisure. As a result, the item of 'insufficient lighting facilities' shows the highest mean and the item of 'low quality of park' follows Previous research also revealed that the item of 'the lack of lighting facilities' is a major factor on user dissatisfaction, so a design and management program for night time users are fully researched and elaborately accomplished. Also, the high response of 'low quality of park' shows that the park supply policy in Korea focusses mainly on quantity so far, and it shows that user's dissatisfaction for park facilities becomes one of the major constraints of park visit. The factor analysis, on the object of 35 items except 2 items, appeared 5 factors: accessibility, inner discord, companion, family matters, park-itself-matters. Oneway Anova test showed that 4 factors except 'park-itself-matters' have reliable difference in constraint cognition by age and education. The visit constraint of 'park-itself-matters' did not appear different by any personal characteristics. Without regard to personal characteristics, it is regarded that this factor has the greatest effect upon park visits. In general, people who are disadvantaged strongly cognize constraints even in leisure such as a park visit, which is a simple and inexpensive leisure activity. Therefore, a park like a pocket park, which is small but located in a neighborhood, is more needed than a central park like a symbolic and huge park in every new city. Careful concern for night activity should be accomplished in the planning process.
