  • In this study, evaluation criteria of information services of records centers and archives were prepared. Using those criteria, service evaluation was conducted in three records centers and archives as a case study. By visiting and observing the records centers and archives, current status, weakness, and problems were identified. Identified problems include limited professional staff, lack of policy, systems and reading room facilities, emphasis on retention rather than services, and weak outreach program. This is a preliminary study, and larger scale evaluation is suggested as well as the application of evaluation in other centers and supplementary evaluation criteria.

  • The ultimate purpose of records management is for reference service. Archival exhibition provides an opportunity to raise the public's interest at archives and maintain records management and to offer the reference service to unknown users. As for archivists, archival exhibition allows to summarize generally the archives that he may have and to appraise its value. At the opening of the Memorial hall for the history and culture of Korean buddhism, the Archives of Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism held an archival exhibition by showing archives of Korean Buddhism History to the public. The exhibition mainly consists in 2 themes: History of Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism and its activities. Over 300 archives were selected in accordance with historicity, rarity and particularity of each archives that the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism posses. The present paper aims to suggest different models of Archival Exhibition with the help of detailed explanation on Exhibition planning, Selection of archives and the practice.

  • In the present day context of changing information needs of the farmers and diversified production systems there is an urgent need to look for the effective extension support system for the small and marginal farmers in the developing countries like India. The rapid developments in the collection and analysis of field data by using the spatial technologies like GPS&GIS were made available for the extension functionaries and clientele for the diversified information needs. This article describes the GIS and GPS based decision support system in precision agriculture for the resource poor farmers. Precision farming techniques are employed to increase yield, reduce production costs, and minimize negative impacts to the environment. The parameters those can affect the crop yields, anomalous factors and variations in management practices can be evaluated through this GPS and GIS based applications. The spatial visualisation capabilities of GIS technology interfaced with a relational database provide an effective method for analysing and displaying the impacts of Extension education and outreach projects for small and marginal farmers in precision agriculture. This approach mainly benefits from the emergence and convergence of several technologies, including the Global Positioning System (GPS), geographic information system (GIS), miniaturised computer components, automatic control, in-field and remote sensing, mobile computing, advanced information processing, and telecommunications. The PPP convergence of person (farmer), project (the operational field) and pixel (the digital images related to the field and the crop grown in the field) will better be addressed by this decision support model. So the convergence and emergence of such information will further pave the way for categorisation and grouping of the production systems for the better extension delivery. In a big country like India where the farmers and holdings are many in number and diversified categorically such grouping is inevitable and also economical. With this premise an attempt has been made to develop a precision farming model suitable for the developing countries like India.

  • In general, industrial production involves large amounts of harmful by-product, causing serious pollution and ecological risk. Eco-efficiency, which indicates how efficient the economic activity is by considering both the environmental risks and economic performance, is a new concept for economic sustainability analysis and quantitative ecological risk analysis. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) has been widely used to examine eco-efficiency in recent years. Whereas traditional DEA models such as CCR and BCC model neglect undesirable outputs, this paper adopts a stochastic undesirable-output DEA model to measure the eco-efficiency of each province of China and Korea. The results indicate that whereas the eco-efficiency of the eastern region was the highest, that of the western region was the lowest. The reason may come from the negative external dis-economies of environment. And thus the governmental efforts for outreach on the underdeveloped regions should be promoted.

  • The Fast Imaging Solar Spectrograph (FISS) on the Goode Solar Telescope (GST) at Big Bear Solar Observatory is the imaging Echelle spectrograph developed by the Solar Astronomy Group of Seoul National University and the Solar and Space Weather Group of Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute. The instrument takes spectral data from a region on the Sun in two spectral bands simultaneously. The imaging is done by the organization of intensity data obtained from the fast raster scan of the slit over the field of view. Since the scan repeats many times, the whole set of data can be used to construct the movies of monochromatic intensity at arbitrary wavelengths within the spectral bands, and those of line-of-sight velocity inferred from different spectral lines. So far there are two standard observing configurations: one recording the $H{\alpha}$ line and the Ca II 8542 line simultaneously, and the other recording the Na I D2 line and Fe I 5435 line simultaneously. We have developed the procedures to produce the standard data for each observing configuration. The procedures include the spatial alignment, the correction of spectral shift of instrumental origin, and the lambdameter measurement of the line wavelength. The standard data include the movie of continuum intensity, the movies of intensity and velocity inferred from a chromospheric spectral line, the movies of intensity and velocity inferred from a photospheric line. The processed standard data will be freely available online (fiss.snu.ac.kr) to be used for research and public outreach. Moreover, the IDL procedures will be provided on request as well so that each researcher can adapt the programs for their own research.

  • Objectives: This study provides insights on the impact of a targeted intervention (TI) programme on behaviour change among injecting drug users (IDUs) in India. Methods: This paper examined the data from the Integrated Biological and Behavioural Surveillance 2014-2015 for IDUs in India. Logistic regression was performed to understand the factors (TI programme services) that affected injecting risk behaviours by adjusting for covariates. Propensity score matching was conducted to understand the impact of the TI programme on using new needles/syringes and sharing needles/syringes in the most recent injecting episode by accounting for the covariates that predicted receiving the intervention. Results: Participants who received new needles and syringes from peer educators or outreach workers were 1.3 times (adjusted odds ratio, 1.29; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.09 to 1.53) more likely to use new needles/syringes during most recent injecting episode than participants who did not receive needles/syringes. The matched-samples estimate (i.e., average treatment effect on treated) of using new needles in the most recent injecting episode showed a 2.8% (95% CI, 0.0 to 5.6) increase in the use of new needles and a 6.5% (95% CI, -9.7 to -3.3) decrease in needle sharing in the most recent injecting episode in participants who received new needles/syringes. There was a 2.2% (95% CI, -3.8 to -0.6) decrease in needle sharing in the most recent injecting episode among participants who were referred to other services (integrated counselling and testing centre, detox centres, etc.). Conclusions: The TI programme proved to be effective for behaviour change among IDUs, as substantiated by the use of new needles/syringes and sharing of needles/syringes.

  • As the socialization of care is progressing rapidly, the necessity of community-level mental health intervention for older adults with severe social isolation and depression is also increasing. In line with the reorganization of the Individualized Support Services for Older Adults in 2020, the social relations revitalization project for the elderly living alone, which had been conducted as a pilot project in 2014~19, was expanded and reorganized into a separate specialized project within the Individualized Support Services for Older Adults. The purpose of this study is to enhance understanding of the specialized service and to clarify its conceptual framework. The characteristics and conceptual framework of the specialized service were examined through a review of the process of institutionalization of the specialized service, which included analysis of related literature and the pilot projects. Finally, it discussed what to consider in order for the specialized service to proceed as intended in the future, focusing on a couple of situations that occur at the fields.

  • This study attempted to analyze the deposit stations in Japanese Colonial Era of Korea. To do this, this study reviewed the related literature such as articles, records, statistics, books and reports selected from databases, archives and libraries. The deposit stations were categorized by the colonial governmental bodies that included the central and local governments, by the non-governmental bodies that included the quasi-public organizations, the anti-Japanese organizations and the others and religious organizations and by the public libraries. These deposit stations were analyzed according to the time and purpose of establishment, the audience and area of the services, the ways of the services and the theme and quantities of the collections. Finally, the study could find that the deposit stations were widely adopted to supplement the lack of a library infrastructure by various administrative bodies and non-governmental bodies in Japanese Colonial Era of Korea.

  • 유구한 전통을 배경으로 우리나라는 유네스코 세계기록유산을 세계 4위, 아시아 1위로 등재하여 기록물의 가치를 국제적으로 인정받고 있다. 이제는 세계 기록유산 16건이라는 등재 수량을 넘어, 활용도 증진을 통한 명실상부 질적 차원의 우수 세계 기록유산 보유국가로 성장해야 할 시기를 맞고 있다. 이러한 측면에서 기록유산의보편적 접근과 활용의 증진을 목적으로 하는 국제기록유산센터(ICDH, International Centre for Documentary Heritage)의 2019년 청주시 유치는 시사하는 바가 크다. 또 정부가 세계 기록유산의 다양한 활용 제고를 위한 지자체 협업 사업을 지원하기 시작한 것도 유의할만하다. 그러나 한국 천문학 분야에서는 세계 기록유산이 한 건도 지정되지 않아 우리나라의 우수한 과학적 성취가 담긴 사료들은 알려지지 않고 있으며, 체계적인 관리·보존도 미비한 상태다. 이에 이 연구는 한국 천문학 기록자원의 세계 기록유산 발굴과 등재 및 등재 이후 활용 증진을 위한 아웃리치 서비스의 방법론을 제언하는 데 목적을 가지며 다음 기획론을 제시하고자 한다. 먼저 한국 천문학 기록자원의 세계 기록유산 발굴을 위하여 유네스코의 등재평가기준과 참고할만한 등재과정의 선행사례를 분석한다. 다음으로, 등재 이후 정·관·학 협업의 체계적 관리보존과 공유체계를수립하는 방안을 모색하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 소장처와협업체간 분쟁의 소지가 될 수 있는 저작권 등 위험 요소와 참고할만한 국내외 협업의 선진사례를 분석한다. 마지막으로 한국 천문학계의 요구와 현실에 부합하는 기록학적방법론을 분석하여 한국 천문학 분야 세계 기록유산의 아웃리치서비스 방안을 제언하고자 한다. 이 연구는 천문학 분야에서 망실·훼손될 수 있는 기록 자원을 발굴하는 계기를 세계 기록유산에서 찾아, 천문학계에 새로운 연구의 장(場)을 창출하는 선순환을 도모했다는 점에서 의의가 있다. 그러나 선험적 기획이므로 과정상 발생할 수 있는 변수의 대처 방안과 유의성 분석 등 연구 결과 검증에는 한계가 있다. 향후 한국 천문학과의 협업으로 세계 기록유산과 관련한 사료 발굴과 가치 고증 등 학술적 이론 검증을 이어나가 다양한 학제 간 연구로 심화하길 기대한다.

  • This study examined the mediating effect of social isolation on the life satisfaction among lowincome older adults. The purpose of this study was to find out isolated older adults' social isolation rate and mediating effect of sense of community by community dwelling older adults with loweconomic status. This study used the Gijang Welfare Network study(2009). The sample consisted 256 older adults 65 and older residing in Busan(Gijang). As statistical method, correlation analysis and structural equation model used in this paper. The results of this study suggested some practical implications in reducing social isolation for older adults with low economic status. We need to emphasize social relations and social participations as well as outreach program for high-risk elderly of social isolation. In addition, Findings suggested that community based interventions should be provided to protect older people, especially poor elderly from social isolation.
