This paper discusses the characteristics of the fire service organization structure in the Republic of Korea. The subjects of the study were selected by the fire service organization consisting of public firefighters in the Republic of Korea. The characteristics of the fire service organization structure (complexity, centrality, and officiality) were confirmed by various articles and previous references. The fire service organization showed a mechanical structure and bureaucratic organization. The levels of complexity, centrality, and officiality in the characteristics of fire service organization structure were higher than those of a general administration organization or company organization. In conclusion, this paper contributes to the development of fire service organization theory by confirming the characteristics of fire service organization structure.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to suggest new directions for public health programs in rural and remote areas. Method: For this purpose, a literature review was done including articles, research reports, and master theses and doctoral dissertations. Results: Public health programs in rural remote areas were found to be very insufficient in terms of professional personnel and program diversity. Especially, there is a lack of adequate manpower and infra-structure in the public health sub-centers at the township and sub county level. Although community health practitioners at the village level are providing public health service beyond medical care, their coverage rate is very low. Conclusion: The results suggest a need to strengthen the function of public health sub-centers to provide comprehensive public health service based on the life-cycle approach. For this new change, legal and political support must be developed.

The purpose of this Study is to present the tasks and means of improving the operational system of public culture and arts institutes in the future on the basis of the analysis of the effectiveness of operation of public culture and arts institutes. The summary of the results of analysis in this Study is as follows: Firstly, it was found that the factor variables that impart effect on the operation of public culture and arts institutes included (1) artistic value, (2) convenience and (3) organizational management, while the performance variable of public culture and arts institutes was (4) operational performance. Secondly, in the analysis of the structure that explains the operational effects of public culture and arts institutes, convenience and organizational management were found to impart effects on the operational performances. However, artistic value was found to have no effect on operational performances. Therefore, these results of analysis imply that organizational management and convenience, rather than artistic value, need to be fortified in order to elevate the operational performances of public culture and arts institutes.

Information Technology Service Management (ITSM) System has been adopted and operated by many governments and public institutions to intensify their global competitiveness. Recently these organizations are facing many problems because of the increased demands and complexity of Information Technology (IT) service. Especially, difficulty with ITSM gets bigger and bigger because of increasing IT outsourcing. An expectation regarding ITSM is grown up when facing to solve problems. Therefore, this study suggests effective alternatives about ITSM organization structure for public sectors. The ITSM organization structures changes from traditional structures based on functions to new structures based on its goal, customer, and its process. In other words, ITSM organizational structure can be composed of Service Strategy directorate, Service Design directorate, Service Transition directorate, Service Operation directorate, and Service Improvement directorate. To ensure the effectiveness and the professionalism of ITSM in an organization, this paper specifies the roles of participants and the responsibilities for each unit. The proposed ITSM organization structures will be useful for public sectors.

This study presents a time synchronization system in decentralized structure by using the blockchain, a core technology of Bitcoin introduced by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008. In this study, Getting away from existing time synchronization system in centralized structure, A blockchain network has completely decentralized structure using public blockchain. In decentralized structure, Only certain peers among the peers that participate in a blockchain network access the NTP server. Therefore, others can synchronize time without having to go to public network. Furthermore if appropriate time synchronization cycles are established for each peer, time synchronization can be maintained even when connection to public network is completely lost. A time synchronization system in this study has advantages of p2p system and can be also guaranteed reliability and stability because it used digital signature, merkle tree, consensus algorithm which are core characteristics of block chains.

Objectives: This study validated the Vietnamese version of the Disaster Adaptation and Resilience Scale (DARS) for use in vulnerable communities in Vietnam. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study involving 595 adults from 2 identified communities. The original DARS assessment tool was translated, and the validity and reliability of the Vietnamese version of DARS (V-DARS) were assessed. The internal consistency of the overall scale and its subscales was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega reliability coefficients. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was employed to evaluate its construct validity, building upon the factor structure identified in exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Construct validity was assessed based on convergent and discriminant validity. Results: Following the established criteria for EFA, 8 items were removed, resulting in a refined V-DARS structure comprising 35 items distributed across 5 distinct factors. Both alpha and omega reliability coefficients indicated strong internal consistency for the overall scale (α=0.963, ω=0.963) and for each of the 5 sub-scales (all>0.80). The CFA model also retained the 5-factor structure with 35 items. The model fit indices showed acceptable values (RMSEA: 0.072; CFI: 0.912; TLI: 0.904; chi-square test: <0.01). Additionally, the convergent and discriminant validity of the V-DARS were deemed appropriate and satisfactory for explaining the measurement structure. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that the V-DARS is a valid and reliable scale for use within vulnerable communities in Vietnam to assess adaptive responses to natural disasters. It may also be considered for use in other populations.

In recent years, there have been tries to open public data from various government agencies along with publicization of public information for the public interest. In other words, various kinds of electronic data generated and collected by the public institutions as a result of their work are opened in the public portal sites. However, users who use it are limited in their use of big data due to lack of understanding of data format, lack of data processing knowledge, difficulty in accessing and managing data, and lack of visualization data to understand collected and stored data. Therefore, in this study, we propose a big data collection, storing and visualization platform that can collect big data provided by various public sites using data set URL and API regardless of data format, re-process collected data using XML structure.

This study suggested that the concept of creative zone raised by the national interest of the 'Creation' should be extended in public libraries. The concept of creative zone in public libraries was analyzed on the basis of 'Con-creative structure ontology' by Rombach. As we understand a creator and creation as the relation of 'subject'-'object', The current concept of 'Creation' dilutes the possibility of 'Autogenese' that all beings as a subject possess. But 'Con-creative Structure' describes the process of 'Autogenese' through sharing and mutual communication of all beings. The formation process of Con-creative Structure corresponds to the philosophy of the library that supports the self-growth through communication and sharing. 'Co-working Space' is more suitable for the substantive image of Con-creativity than 'Makerspace'. Therefore, this study analyzed circumstances of creative zone in public libraries and Co-working Space in business areas and provided the conceptive and substantive modeling for Co-working Space in public libraries.
