The large-scale distribution of crops Is usually determined by climate. We present the results of a climate-crop prediction based on spatial bio-physical process model approach, implemented in a GIS (Geographic Information System) environment using several regional and global agriculture-environmental databases. The model utilizes daily climate data like temperature, rainfall, solar radiation being generated stocastically by in-built model weather generator to determine the daily biomass and finally the crop yield. Crops are characterized by their specific growing period requirements, photosynthesis, respiration properties and harvesting index properties. Temperature and radiation during the growing period controls the development of each crop. The model simulates geographic/spatial distribution of climate by which a crop-growing belt can also be determined. The model takes both irrigated and non-irrigated area crop productivity into account and the potential increase in productivity by the technical means like mechanization is not considered. All the management input given at the base year 1995 was kept same for the next twenty-year changes until 2015. The simulated distributions of crops under current climatic conditions coincide largely with the current agricultural or specific crop growing regions. Simulation with assumed weather generated derived climate change scenario illustrate changes in the agricultural potential. There are large regional differences in the response across the country. The north-south and east-west regions responded differently with projected climate changes with increased and decreased productivity depending upon the crops and scenarios separately. When water was limiting or facilitating as non-irrigated and irrigated area crop-production effects of temperature rise and higher $CO_2$ levels were different depending on the crops and accordingly their production. Rise in temperature led to yield reduction in case of maize and rice whereas a gain was observed for wheat crop, doubled $CO_2$ concentration enhanced yield for all crops and their several combinations behaved differently with increase or decrease in yields. Finally, with this spatial modeling approach we succeeded in quantifying the crop productivity which may bring regional disparities under the different climatic scenarios where one region may become better off and the other may go worse off.

Objectives: Several previous studies have found that healthy behaviors substantially reduce non-communicable disease incidence and mortality. The present study was performed to estimate the prevalence of four modifiable healthy behaviors and a healthy lifestyle among Korean adults according to socio-demographic and regional factors. Methods: We analyzed data from 199 400 Korean adults aged 19 years and older who participated in the 2010 Korean Community Health Survey. We defined a healthy lifestyle as a combination of four modifiable healthy behaviors: non-smoking, moderate alcohol consumption, regular walking, and a healthy weight. We calculated the prevalence rates and odds ratios of each healthy behavior and healthy lifestyle according to socio-demographic and regional characteristics. Results: The prevalence rates were as follows: non-smoking, 75.0% (53.7% in men, 96.6% in women); moderate alcohol consumption, 88.2% (79.7% in men, 96.9% in women); regular walking, 45.0% (46.2% in men, 43.8% in women); healthy weight, 77.4% (71.3% in men, 73.6% in women); and a healthy lifestyle, 25.5% (16.4% in men, 34.6% in women). The characteristics associated with a low prevalence of healthy lifestyle were male gender, younger age (19 to 44 years of age), low educational attainment, married, living in a rural area, living in the Chungcheong, Youngnam, or Gwangwon-Jeju region, and poorer self-rated health. Conclusions: Further research should be implemented to explore the explainable factors of disparities for socio-demographic and regional characteristics to engage in the healthy lifestyle among adults.

Purpose: This study aims to compare 119 emergency medical services (EMS) in South Korea and Japan to provide essential data for EMS improvement in South Korea. Methods: Recent data and regulations on firefighting and EMS in South Korea and Japan were analyzed and compared. Results: South Korea follows a centralized approach to EMS, whereas Japan operates with autonomous bodies that establish their own criteria. Japan considers more regional variables than South Korea. In South Korea, there are shortages in fire station deployment among the 119 emergency medical resources in certain regions, leading to significant regional disparities. South Korea has a larger population served by its 119 emergency medical resources with a higher workload and dispatch numbers than Japan. The percentage of non-transported patients among the total number of dispatches was higher in South Korea. Conclusion: Increasing the number of medical professionals and ambulances per population to the level of Japan to reflect local conditions and include various underlying variables such as daytime population, aging, and emergency dispatch conditions in the deployment of 119 emergency resources, and to reduce the deployment gap between regions, will contribute to improving the performance of the South Korea EMS system.

기후변화에 대응한 국제사회의 실천과제인 탄소중립이 각국의 국가 미래 발전을 좌우하는 핵심 산업전략으로 옮겨가고 있다. G2의 경제 대국으로 성장한 중국이지만 고탄소 배출의 산업구조로 인해 이 같은 기후변화 글로벌 이슈를 선도하기 어려울 것이라는 일부 관측이 무색하게도, 중국은 탄소중립을 자국 산업경쟁력 강화를 위한 수단으로 활용하고 있다. 중국정부는 탄소중립 달성을 위한 국정 방침과 이를 이행하기 위한 분야별 세부 계획을 수립, 특히 탄소중립 산업전략을 통해 외부로부터의 기후대응 국제규범 외압을 자국 산업구조의 조정과 신산업 육성을 위한 지렛대로 삼고자 한다. 그러나 이 같은 탄소중립 산업전략은 지역별 경제·산업 수준 등 여건에 따라 중점분야 및 집행력에서 차이가 있을 것으로 예상된다. 이 글에서는 중국 지역별 탄소중립 이행여건과 주요 산업정책의 내용 및 특징을 분석한다. 상이한 경제발전 수준과 산업구조 등에 따라 지역별 탄소배출 규모, 배출원, 효율성에 상당한 차이가 있을 수밖에 없다. 이는 중앙으로부터 주어진 탄소중립 목표를 이행하는 데 있어 상이한 초기 조건과 내생적 요소를 부여하게 되며, 이 같은 주어진 구조적 요인들은 각 지역에 유리한 탄소중립 산업전략의 방향과 중점정책의 조성 및 추진을 제약하게 된다. 특히 탄소중립 이행 관련 지방정부의 정책 자율성 정도를 제약함으로써, 중앙-지방 환경거버넌스의 지역별 특징이 나타날 것이다. 이 같은 점은 보다 정확한 중국 탄소중립 향방을 탐색하기 위해서 국가를 단위로 한 총괄적 연구와 더불어 지역별 모니터링이 긴요함을 시사한다.

By the end of 2017, in a world of 7.6 billion people, there were inequalities in healthcare indices both within and between nations, and this gap continues to increase. Therefore, this study aims to understand the current status of regional inequalities in healthcare indices and to find an action plan to tackle regional health inequality through a geo-economic review in Korea. Since 2008, there was great inequality in life expectancy and healthy life expectancy by region in not only metropolitan cities but also districts in Korea. While the community health statistics from 2008-2017 show a continuous increase of inequality during the last 10 years in most healthcare indices related to noncommunicable diseases (except for some, like smoking), the inequality has doubled in 254 districts. Furthermore, health inequality intensified as the gap between urban (metropolitan cities) and rural regions (counties) for rates of obesity (self-reported), sufficient walking practices, and healthy lifestyle practices increased from twofold to fivefold. However, regionalism and uneven development are natural consequences of the spatial perspective caused by state-lead developmentalism as Korea has fixed the accumulation strategy as its model for growth with the background of export-led industrialization in the 1960s and heavy and chemical industrialization in the 1970s, although the Constitution of the Republic of Korea recognizes the legal value of balanced development within the regions by specifying "the balanced development of the state" or "ensuring the balanced development of all regions." In addition, the danger of a 30% decline or extinction of local government nationwide is expected by 2040 as we face not only a decline in general and ageing populations but also the era of the demographic cliff. Thus, the government should continuously operate the "Special Committee on Regional Balanced Development" with a government-wide effort until 2030 to prevent disparities in the health conditions of local residents, which is the responsibility of the nation in terms of strengthening governance. To address the regional inequalities of rural and urban regions, it is necessary to re-adjust the basic subsidy and cost-sharing rates with local governments of current national subsidies based mainly on population scale, financial independence of local government, or distribution of healthcare resources and healthcare indices (showing high inequalities) overall.

Objectives: This study examined regional differences in the intake of dietary total fat and saturated fatty acid (SFA) and their food sources among Korean adults. We also investigated the associations of SFA intake with metabolic diseases by region. Methods: This study included 13,926 adults (≥ 19y) who participated in the 2016 ~ 2019 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys. The regions were divided into urban and rural areas according to the administrative districts where the participants lived. Using dietary data obtained from a 24-h recall, intake of total fat and SFA and their food sources were assessed by region. Metabolic diseases included obesity, abdominal obesity, and elevated total cholesterol and their association with SFA intake by region were examined using multiple logistic regression. Results: Of the participants, 19.6% lived in rural areas. In urban areas, the total fat and SFA intakes were higher than in rural areas: 21.2% of energy (%E) came from total fat and 6.9%E from SFA in urban areas, whereas 18.0%E came from total fat and 5.8%E from SFA in rural areas. The percentage of participants who exceeded the dietary reference intakes for total fat and SFA in urban areas was 16.5% and 41.9%, respectively, but 43.4% of participants in rural areas showed lower intake levels for total fat compared to the reference level. Young adults did not show regional differences in fat intake, and the percentage of subjects who exceeded the reference for SFA was high both in urban (58.5%) and rural (55.7%) areas. Among middle-aged and older adults, intake of fatty acids except for n-3 fatty acid was significantly higher in urban areas than in rural areas. About 69% of older adults in rural areas showed a lower intake of total fat compared to the reference level. The food sources for total fat and SFA were meat, soybean oil, eggs, and milk in both areas. The intake of fat from eggs, milk, mayonnaise, and bread was higher in urban areas, but the intake of fat from white rice and coffee mix was higher in rural areas. The SFA intake was positively associated with elevated serum total cholesterol in urban areas (4th quartile vs. 1st quartile, OR: 1.22, 95% CI: 1.06-1.40, P for trend: 0.043), but not in rural areas. Conclusions: Regional differences in total fat and SFA intakes and their food sources were observed among Korean adults. Our findings may help plan nutritional strategies to ameliorate regional health disparities.

지역균형발전이란 지역간 경제적 생산성 및 소득의 격차를 줄이고 국민들이 어느 지역에서나 비슷한 수준의 소득으로 비슷한 생활수준을 누릴 수 있게 한다는 점에서 경제적, 사회적으로 큰 의미를 가진다 그러나 우리나라는 지난 30여년동안 고도경제성장 위주의 국가경제 정책과 정치, 사회의 구조적 요인으로 인하여 서울을 중심으로 한 수도권 지역으로의 경제력 및 개발이 편중되면서 지역간 불균형 성장이 야기되어 국가발전에 커다란 장애요인으로 대두되었다 특히 지역간 불균형성장은 국민경제의 효율적인 자원배분을 왜곡시키고 특정지역주민들의 소외의식을 야기하였으며 이로 인해 사회적, 정치적 문제로 항상 비화되어 국민통합을 저해하는 사회적 갈등을 심화 시켰다 따라서 본 연구의 주된 내용은 국가발전의 개념을 구성하는 경제성장과 지역균형발전 관계를 규명하는데 있으며, 연구를 구체화하기 위한 분석의 대상을 경제성장과 지역간 인구 및 생활 편의시설의 변화 추이를 통한 지역간 인구격차 분석과 지역간 생활편익시설의 격차 등을 분석대상으로 삼았다. 분석을 위한 공간적 범위는 대한민국 국토 전역을 대상으로 삼았으며. 연구의 시간적 범위는 경제개발 5개년 계획을 추진하였던 1962년부터 지역균형개발을 실시하였던 2001년까지 10년 단위를 설정하였다.

이 글에서는 박근혜정부의 창조경제정책의 문제점과 지역발전에의 함의점을 고찰했다. 정부의 과학기술 기반의 창조산업정책은, 창조경제에서 ICT의 역할을 강조하고 있는 창업을 촉진하고 ICT 기반의 연구개발을 중심으로 협력적 선순환 지식 기업생태계를 구축하는 것이다. 하지만 IT산업이 취약한 지역의 생태계에서의 배제는 더욱 가속화될 가능성이 크며, 나아가 지역격차의 확대에 기여할 가능성이 크다. 둘째, 창조경제와 이를 기반으로 하는 창도도시 논의는 저성장시대로 접어들면서 창조산업의 선도적 역할이 축소되었으며, 나아가, 도시규모에 따라 차별적으로 작동해, 경제성장에 따른 급속한 공간적, 사회적 불균형을 가지고 있는 아시아지역의 도시공간체계 개선의 대안이 되기는 어렵다. 셋째, 기존의 테크노파크(TP), 기술혁신센터(TIC), 지역연구센터(RRC) 등의 모형을 답습한 창조경제혁신센터 모형은 기술 고착화의 위험성과 지역의 발전이 지체되고 현재의 상태에 안주할 수 있는 위험성이 있으며, '연관 다양성'의 부족으로 인한 근본 문제도 있다. 창조경제의 원래의 의미를 회복하고, 창조경제의 구축이 아니라 창조경제 '생태계'를 구축하며, 지역의 발전을 위해 대기업에 의존하는 벤처창업중심이 아니라, 대학-기업-기방정부가 협력하여 학연 산 관이 공식, 비공식적 네트워크를 구성하고, 대학과 연구기관의 연구성과와 인력자원, 교육 훈련기능이 기업으로 상시적으로 교호하고 지식이 수직, 수평적으로 교환되는 제도가 지역에 정착됨으로서, 혁신네트워크가 누적인과적으로 진화할 수 있는 학습지역으로 발전하는 정책이 요구된다.

In this study, population census(2005 & 2008) from Statistics Korea and the statistical data of the number of hospital beds by healthcare facilities classification from Ministry of Health and Welfare were used. For analyzing distribution of hospital beds, hospital beds were classified as acute care beds, long-term care beds and all hospital beds, which is including acute and long-term care beds. Regional areas, which are city(si), county(goon) for the study and district(gu) were reclassified as metropolitan city, city(si) and county(goon). Because there were 165 regional areas in 2005 and 2008, 84 and 81 areas were classified as metropolitan city and/or city and county, respectively. Gini index were calculated for hospital beds from each year, and Lorenz curves were drawn. The following summary presents the findings of this study. Compared to the year 2005 and 2008, the Gini index was 0.24472, and hospital bed numbers increased slightly by 0.80% than in 2005. In case of acute care beds, the Gini index was 0.23797(0.13%), and there was no big difference; however, the Gini index for long-term care beds was 0.41091, and there was a 30.25% decrease, which shows improvement to reduce disparities. It might result from an increase in long-term care beds up to 476.2%. For geographical equality of hospital beds, the Gini index and Lorenz curve, which can be compared the degree of inequality in the distribution of hospital beds reasonably and possibly show statistical data, should be used. Through this study, the distribution policy of hospital beds should be established.
