  • The provision of welfare services to the disabled in Korea are still insufficient to meet the demand and the delivery system of the service is organized largely from the viewpoint of the suppliers. In order to guarantee the user right to choice, the shift of the policy paradigm supporting autonomy, self-directedness and the right to control of the users appears to be important. The present study explores the theoretical discussion in the field of the welfare of the disabled about user involvement. Then it investigates the German case of 'personal budgets' aimed to strengthen the user involvement and draws some policy implications for Korea. The study confirms that the introduction of 'personal budgets' aimed to realization of the self-determination of the disabled has contributed for the reinforcement of user involvement in welfare policies for the disabled. This new policy program 'personal budgets' based on the idea of the realization of the right to self-determination appears to transform the general nature of the welfare system for the disabled in Germany by transforming the payment methods.

  • The purposes of this study are to identify factors that affect personal information protection activities from the perspective of personal information managers and explore ways of promoting such activities. The main factors examined by threat and response assessments were selected based on the protection motivation theory, and the effects of each factor were analyzed using a multinomial logit model. The analysis results show that small-scale personal information managers need to be provided with both educational support to enhance their awareness and technical support, such as protection inspection tools, to help them carry out their own personal information protection activities. Personal information managers larger than a certain size also require tax support, including tax cuts, to support their budgets for and investments in personal information protection activities. In addition, they need professional education that emphasizes practice.

  • The objectives of this study were to measure the index of school health promoting behaviors and to identify the influencing factors in performing these behaviors. School health pro motion indexes were composed of 6 areas developed by the WHO. The data were collected by questionnaires from June to September, 1998. The subjects were 199 elementary school nurses and data were analyzed by a SAS - PC program. The results of this study were as follows: 1) The total mean of the elementary school health promotion indexes was 3.45 with school health service being the highest score at 3.68. Other scores were 3.58-personal health skills and 3.03-community relationship. 2) There were significant relationships between school health promoting behaviors and independent variables. The important variables influencing to the school physical environment were school health budgets and the career of school nurses. Also the educational background and the career of school nurses were significant variables in school health service. From these results, it is recommended that a comprehensive school health promoting program including the 6 areas of health promotion be developed. A training program for school nurses in health promotion is necessary.

  • Generally, It is indispensible to use an ISP(In System Programming) tool for upgrading, patching, or changing the system software of the each sensor nodes in wireless sensor networks. While under a small number of nodes, the upgrading task is not a serious burden, however if there are a large number of nodes to be updated, the task is almost impossible to do for the given constrains such as limited budgets and resources. Based on this observation, in this paper we have proposed a novel upgrading scheme based on a single hop in IEEE 802.15.4 PAN(Personal Area Network)s. Simulation results have shown the scheme outcomes the conventional methods in the performance measures.

  • According to the progress of national informatization throughout the world, infringement and threaten of privacy are happening in a variety of fields, so government is providing information security policy. In particular, South Korea has enhanced personal impact assessment based on the law of personal information protection law(2011). But it is not enough to effect the necessary cost calculation standards and changeable factors to effect PIA. That is, the budgets for PIA was calculated lower than the basic budget suggested by Ministry of Government Administration Home affairs(2011). Therefore, this study reviewed the cost calculation basis based on the literature review, cost basis of similar systems, and reports of PIA and obtained to the standard with Delphi analysis. As a result, the standards of PIA is consisted to the primary labors and is utilized to how the weights by division of target system, construction and operating costs of target system, type of target systems, etc. Thus, the results of this study tried to contribute to ensure the reliability of PIA as well as the transparency of the budget for privacy in public sector.

  • This study analyzes factors that affect average daily travel time budgets, using the Time Use Survey data from 1999 to 2014 in Seoul. We first developed multivariate regression models for travel time from each year, considering demographic and socio-economic variables as well as non-home activity time. The model results showed that household and personal characteristics and non-home activities significantly affect travel time, and their effects are different over time. In addition, we developed seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) models for time allocation for non-home activity and travel, considering their correlations, and explanatory variables were compared over time. Overall, demographic and socio-economic variables significantly affect travel time as well as non-home activity time.
