Among the science and engineering fields in North Korean Academy of Sciences, geology occupies about 10 percent of the total number of departments. An analysis of major geologic research fields in North Korea, based on the number of authors of 2000-200l publications in a representative journal "Geology and Geography", shows the proportions as follows: mineralogy and petrology (31.0%), stratigraphy and paleontology (12.3%), economic geology and geochemistry (11.6%), geophysics and structural geology (14.2%), and applied geology (31.0%). This proportion is similar to that in South Korea in 1960s and shows that geologic research activity in North Korea is concentrated for the purpose of mineral resources exploration. The academic collaboration between South and North Korea in near future should include the researches on the reconstruction of geologic history in Korean peninsula and Northeast Asia and the environmental restoration from mining-related environmental pollution in North Korea. For active academic interchange between South and North Korea, efforts to overcome the academic gap are requisite. Frequent joint symposia, interchange programme of post-doctoral fellows, and cooperative researches on specific topics are recommended for this effort.

The main theme of this study is about North Korea's contemporary military strategy which remained a blind spot in the 21st century. Indeed, Pyongyang's contemporary military strategy is evolved from the logic of War. On the basis of this logic, this study examined North Korea's contemporary military strategy with three analytical frameworks. The first is the discovery of Clausewitz's dictums and application of the Trinitarian analysis on the Korean cases. During the course of applying Clausewitzian main dictum--War as continuation of politics, the methodological analysis on war played a important role generalizing the pattern and matrix of North Korea's strategic thinking and military strategy. In particular, Clausewitz's Trinitarian framework on war -Government (reason), Army (chance), People (passion)- was a universal framework to scrutinize the North Korean missile and nuclear strategy. The second is about the matrix of North Korea's military strategy, The study suggested the genealogical feature of Pyongyang's military strategy. In principle, the dictum of 'Military-First Politics' 1S the combination of the political philosophy, Chuch'e (self-reliance) of Kim Il Sung and Kin Jong Il reflected in the military readiness. As a result this analysis was able to equate Clausewitz's dictums to explain Pyongyang's idea of the nature of war in that North Korea's military strategy is the central instrument of delivery to achieve political objectives. The third is about the theoretical encounter of 'Clausewitz's Wonderful Trinity' and 'Remarkable Trinity on North Korea's contemporary strategy'. On the basis, three elements are connected to one of three groups in society; the people, the military, and the government. In order to apply the Clausewitz's Trinitarian analysis into Kim Jong Il's 'Military-First' strategy, two case studies (Missile and Nuclear strategy) were examined. The finding of this study is that Clausewitzian dictum in the 19th century is still valid in the 21st century as it provided plausible theoretical framework to explain the North Korean contemporary military strategy with a reminder that the nature and logic of war are fixed in the socially constructed state.

북한 산림황폐화를 방지하기 위한 남북한 협력 수단으로 REDD 메커니즘의 적용 가능성을 사전 검토하였다. 북한은 기후변화협약이 국가 단위의 REDD+ 메커니즘의 이행 조건으로 요구한 REDD+ 국가 전략 수립과 산림모니터링 시스템 등을 구비하지 못하였다. 또한 북한은 REDD 메커니즘을 적용하기 위한 토대인 산림자원 통계의 신뢰성 역시 부족하였다. 인공위성 영상자료를 활용하여 추정한 산림면적 자료를 제외한 대부분의 산림자원 통계는 신뢰할만한 산림조사 결과를 바탕으로 하지 않고 단순한 가정을 기초로 추정된 것이다. 이러한 검토 결과는 북한이 산림황폐지 복구 수단으로 REDD 메커니즘을 당장 적용할 수 없다는 것을 보여준다. 이를 바탕으로 향후 REDD 메커니즘을 북한에 적용하기 위한 연구 주제와 남북한 산림부문의 협력 의제를 제안하였다. (1) 최소한 2000년 이후 북한지역의 토지이용변화 탐지, 탄소축적변화 추정 및 산림전용 산림황폐화의 원인 구명 연구가 필요하다. (2) 남북한의 REDD+ 협력은 북한의 'REDD+ 국가 전략 수립' 및 '국가산림조사 체계 구축' 부문에 초점을 맞추어야 한다.

우리와 대치하고 있는 적 북한은 1950년 6월 25일 불법 기습남침을 하였고 1953년 7월 27일 정전협정 조인 이후에도 약 5,000여 회에 이르는 크고 작은 도발을 자행하였다. 특히, 북한은 2010년 3월 26일 천안함을 폭침하여 동년 5월 24일 단행된 5.24대북 재제조치 상태에서도 2010년 11월 23일 연평도 포격도발을 감행하였으며 지난 2015년 8월 4일 또다시 DMZ 목함 지뢰 도발을 하였다. 우리군은 그에 대한 대응으로 확성기 방송을 재개하여 대북 심리전을 재개하자 북한은 준전시 상태를 선포하며 파국으로 가던 중, 남북한은 협상을 시도하여 고위급접촉 과정과 그 결과 공동합의문을 타결하였다. 이러한 고위급접촉을 보며 우리는 너무나 안이한 대응을 하고 있는 것은 아닌지 돌아보며 향후 계속될 북한과의 협상을 어떻게 준비하고 대응할 것인가에 대하여 북한의 협상전술과 우리의 대응방향을 제시하였다.

최근 북한의 법제 정비의 양상은 양적으로 증가하고, 종래 체제정합성이 미비하다는 평가에 대한 개선 면모를 보여준다. 과거 북한 입법은 입법기관의 기능과 역할의 부재, 법령체계의 애매모호 등으로 부정적으로비판되었으나 최근 이러한 평가를 달리 하는 현상이 나타나고 있다. 특히북한의 법제정비 동향과 관련하여 새로 채택한 '법제정법'은 북한의 입법체계와 절차를 파악하는 데에 중요하고 명확한 내용을 담고 있다. 법제정법의 내용은 북한입법의 체재와 절차 등이 보다 체계적으로 정리되어 나아가는 과정을 보여주는 법률임을 엿보게 한다. 기실 북한법령은 김정은체제 하에서 대내외적 정책추진의 법제도적 근거를 제시해준다. 북한은 핵문제에 집중되어 있어 정작 다른 부분에 대해서는 정보가 제한되어 있는 상황이다. 이를 감안하여 여기서는 북한의 입법이론과 체계를 알아보되, 북한이 강조하는 사회주의법무생활 강화, 사회주의법제사업과 사회주의법치국가론을 중심으로 그 이론적 토대를 개관한다. 또한 북한의 입법이론과 체계에 비추어 실제의 법제정비의 내용을 파악해본다. 이어 북한의 입법기관과 입법절차 등을 살펴봄으로써 북한의 입법체계와 그 특징을 고찰한다. 아울러 북한의 입법기관과 입법절차에 관해서는 중국의 '입법법'의 내용을 비교하여 그 특징을 알아본다. 그리고 북한의 입법체계에 대한 과제를 살피고 앞으로의 입법 방향과 관련하여 전망해본다. 김정은 정권에서 2016년의 증보판 법전의 발간을 통해 최근까지 정비된 법령을 공표한 것은 현행 북한법령 현황을 파악하는 데에 중요한 자료이다. 이미 민주조선의 법령해설을 통해 알려진 법령의 내용을 확인하여주기 때문이다. 그러나 여전히 북한체제와 관련한 법령의 경우 그 공표가 늦어지거나 미공개 내지 비밀로 남아 있는 것은 여전히 낙후된 입법의 잔영이라 할 수 있다. 북한에서 법이란 시대적 변화에 따라 발전되고변화한다. 특히 외국인투자 및 대외경제법제와 관련 대내법제의 정비내용을 보면, 사회경제제도의 발전적 방향에 대응하여 변화하고 있음을 발견하게 된다. 김정은체제가 나아가야 할 방향을 경제부문에서의 개혁과 개방으로의 길로 확대하는 경우 이에 관련한 법령의 정비는 가속화될 것이다. 북한입법과정과 절차의 투명성과 객관성의 확보는 남북법제의 이해의 폭을넓히는 동시에 남북통합의 제도적 방안을 모색하는 데에 도움이 될 것이다. 앞으로 북한법제에 관한 심층연구는 궁극적으로 남북의 통일법제의형성을 위한 토대라는 점에서 강조된다.

The purpose of this study is to compare the domesticity in South-Korea and North-Korea to prepare for unification of North and South-Korea. To compare the family life in South-Korea and North-Korea, this study adjustes the focus of the socialization of household work. There is a great difference in the ideology between the two political systems. The difference in the ideology makes a difference to decide on a policy on the household work. It comes out of the socialization method of household work. In North-Korea, the collectivization of household work get a lot of accomplished. The other hand, the commercialism of household work get a lot of accomplished in South-Korea. This is made differences in the domesticity between South-Korea and North-Korea.

TThe cooperation on disaster prevention between the two Koreas has been mostly focused on cooperation at the recovery stage, such as emergency relief supplies and equipment support. This study aims to articulate future practical development plans by analyzing disaster cooperation between North and South Korea in accordance with the changing paradigm of international disaster cooperation. Considering the specificity of inter-Korean cooperation, the Framework for Inter-Korean Disaster Prevention Cooperation was established centering on the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. The framework consists of understanding and sharing disaster risks, building back better, strengthening community resilience, and supporting regional disaster action plans for continuous action. Inter-Korean disaster prevention cooperation requires sharing information about North Korean disasters. It is necessary to accurately identify and support social vulnerability to North Korean disasters. Above all, it is supporting the development of disaster action plans from a humanitarian perspective needs. A medium-to-long term resilience reinforcement plan that North Korea can resolve on its own is also needed. Since North Korea is also deeply interested in international disaster cooperation, it should be based on the direction of the Sendai Framework. Considering the uniqueness of inter-Korean cooperation, a path for North Korea to actively participate in international disaster cooperation should be established.

The aim of this research is to review recent trends in weather and climate research in North Korea. We selected North Korean journal 'Weather and Hydrology' for the last 10 years (2007-2016), and identified trends in research subject, researchers, and affiliations. Furthermore, we analyzed the major achievements and trends by research sector. Our main results are same as follows. The largest number of researches on 'modernization and informatization on prediction' have been carried out in North Korea's recent meteorological and climatological research. This could be implicated that the scope of national science policy directly affected the promotion of specific research field. Especially, North Korea was evaluated to be concentrating its efforts on numerical model research and development. The numerical model which enables very short-term (6 hours) rainfall forecast which using ensemble Kalman filter data assimilation method (4D EnKF) was developed. In addition, development of automatic weather system and improvement of the data transfer system were promoted. However, the result reveals that the automated real-time data transfer system was not fully equipped yet. These results could be used as a basic data for meteorological cooperation between South and North Korea.

With growing expectations for economic cooperation between the two Koreas, there is much interest in participating in the construction of infrastructure in North Korea. In particular, water and sewage infrastructure is the four major social infrastructures in addition to housing, transportation, electricity and telecommunications. North Korea is known to have severe water pollution and ecosystem destruction in major rivers, water pollution and soil pollution in mining areas are serious, and water and sewage infrastructures in cities other than Pyongyang are known to be weak. Preemptive investment in water supply and drainage in North Korea is the foundation for securing the quality of life of the North Korean and is the foundation of public health and industry. It is a leading investment to reduce the cost of unification and is a new growth engine for the water reloded industry. In this study, we proposed a plan to exchange and cooperate in water environment for building water infrastructure of North Korea by examining the data related to water quality, water resources, water disaster, related legal system and human resources exchange situations in North Korea.
