Properties of aggregation and spatial distribution of fish were examined based on three lines in the South Sea of Korea using three frequencies (18, 38, and 120 kHz) of a scientific echosounder. The vertical distribution of fish was displayed using acoustic biomass namely nautical area scattering coefficient (NASC). As a result, at 120 kHz high NASC showed from water surface to 20 meters in deep while at 18 and 38 kHz very high NASC presented in 70 ~ 90 meters in depth, especially at line 3. Among three lines, the line 2 had lowest NASC. The horizontal distribution of fish using three frequencies together exhibited high NASC between the eastern South Sea and center of South Sea. In especial, NASC ($801{\sim}1,920m^2/n{\cdot}mile^2$) was observed along coastal waters from Busan to Tongyeong, Geoje, and Namhae. In regard with the property of aggregation of fish schools, the volume back-scattering strength ($S_V$) of three lines presented close each other, however, the range of $S_V$ in the line 2 was shortest (-53.5 ~ -43.4 dB). The average distributional depth was deep in the order of L3 ($32.8{\pm}9.0m$), L1 ($45.2{\pm}9.5m$), L2 ($49.7{\pm}5.6m$). The average altitude was high in the order of L3 ($13.4{\pm}10.3m$), L1 ($17.0{\pm}12.6m$), L2 ($56.7{\pm}5.6m$). The average length, thickness, and area were large in the order of L1, L3, and L2. This means that small sized fish schools were distributed near water surface in the line 2 while relatively large and similar sized fish aggregations between line 1 and line 3 appeared however, fish schools at line 3 had lower distributional depth and smaller compared to those at line 1. Acoustic data were visualized for demonstrating the entire circumstances of survey area. Additionally, there was no correlation between acoustic and trawl results.

South Korean national security strategy should be developed to effectively handle and counter increasing maritime threats and challenges. There are three major maritime threats South Korea faces today; maritime disputes on the EEZ boundary and Dokdo islet issues, North Korean threats, and international maritime security. Maritime disputes in the region are getting intensified and turned into a military confrontation after 2010. Now regional countries confront each other with military and police forces and use economic leverage to coerce the others. They are very eager to create advantageous de facto situations to legitimize their territorial claims. North Korean threat is also increasing in the sea as we witnessed in the Cheonan incident and Yeonpyoung shelling in 2010. North Korea resorts to local provocations and nuclear threats to coerce South Korea in which it may enjoy asymmetric advantages. The NLL area of the west sea would be a main hot spot that North Korea may continue to make a local provocation. Also, South Korean national economy is heavily dependent upon foreign trade and national strategic resources such as oil are all imported. Without an assurance on the safety of sea routes, these economic activities cannot be maintained and expanded. This paper argues that South Korea should make national maritime strategy and enhance the strength of naval forces. As a middle power, its national security strategy needs to consider all the threats and challenges not only from North Korea but also to maritime security. This is not a matter of choice but a mandate for national survival and prosperity. This paper discusses the importance of maritime security, changing characteristics of maritime threats and challenges, regional maritime disputes and its threat to South Korea's security, and South Korea's future security strategy and ways to enhance the role of naval forces. Our national maritime strategy needs to show middle and long term policy directions on how we will protect our maritime interests. Especially, it is important to build proper naval might to carry out all the roles and missions required to the military.

우리나라는 이미 고령화사회(aging society)에 진입했고 이제는 고령사회(aged society)로 나아가고 있다. 이처럼 노인인구가 늘어나게 되면서 교통사고나 노인자살과 같은 노인안전에 대한 문제 또한 중요해졌다. 마찬가지로 노인범죄피해도 갈수록 증가하고 있고 노인안전사고 또한 중요한 사회적 문제가 되고 있다. 경찰은 노인안전을 위해 여러 가지 활동을 하고 있다. 노인을 대상으로 하는 사기범죄를 예방하기 위한 계도활동이나 노인 교통사고 예방을 위해 안전시설점검과 교통안전교육 등을 실시하고 있다. 그리고 독거노인을 보호하기 위해 방문활동과 치매노인들의 실종을 예방하기 위해 CCTV 인프라의 확충과 지문등록제 등을 실시하고 있다. 하지만 이러한 활동들은 경찰전체의 조직적이고 체계화된 활동이 아니라 지방청이나 경찰서 단위로 이루어지고 있어서 아직은 충분하지 못한 실정이다. 이처럼 노인안전에 대한 경찰의 활동이 아직까지 미흡하기 때문에 노인안전을 강화하기 위한 경찰의 역할을 모색하고자 하는 것이 이 연구의 목적이다. 이를 위한 경찰의 활동을 제언하자면 먼저 노인대상 사기범죄를 예방하기 위해서는 지속적인 계도와 단속활동이 이루어져야 하며 사기범죄에 대한 예방교육도 이루어져야 한다. 그리고 현재는 노인학대와 같은 범죄에 대해서는 노인보호전문기관이 주도적으로 활동하지만 노인학대도 범죄인만큼 경찰이 주도적으로 나설 필요가 있다. 또한 노인자살을 예방하기 위해서 자살고위험군에 대한 세심한 관리가 필요하고 교통사고 예방을 위해 노인보호구역의 지정과 노인들의 자발적인 운전면허 반납을 유도해야 한다. 그리고 이러한 노인안전문제의 효율적인 대응을 위해서는 노인안전 전담조직이 필요하다. 노인안전이라는 개념은 광범위한 개념이므로 경찰만으로 노인의 안전을 모두 책임지기에는 무리가 있으므로 경찰의 주도로 정부 각 부처와 민간단체 그리고 지역사회 등과 협력하여 노인안전을 위한 사회안전망을 구축하는 것이 필요할 것이다.

At the first time in South Korea, the state of the art acoustic systems were mounted on the R/V Tamgu 21. The acoustic systems are an EK80 broadband echosounder (18, 38, 70, 120, 200 and 333 kHz) which has two beam modes such as continuous wave (narrowband) and frequency modulation (broadband), an ME70 multibeam echosounder (70-120 kHz), and a SH90 sonar (111.5-115.5 kHz). Acoustic data from broadband mode have a very short range resolution, a large detection range, a high signal to noise ratio, and a wide and consecutive frequency response. In ME70, each individual beam consisted in a multibeam plays a role as a spilt beam. The first trial of the cutting edge acoustic system installed on the R/V Tamgu 21 was conducted from 15 Feb to 29 Feb 2016 in East Sea, South Sea and East China Sea. The properties of the acoustic systems were elucidated and exploratory results from three systems were exhibited. Lastly, issues which should be considered and future research plan are mentioned.

Acoustics are increasingly regarded as a remote-sensing tool that provides the basis for classifying and mapping ocean resources including seabed classification. It has long been understood that details about the character of the seabed (roughness, sediment type, grain-size distribution, porosity, and material density) are embedded in the acoustical echoes from the seabed. This study developed a sophisticated yet easy-to-use technique to discriminate seabed characteristics using a split beam echosounder. Acoustic survey was conducted in Tongyeong waters, South Korea in June 2018, and the verification of acoustic seabed classification was made by the Van Veen grab sampler. The acoustic scattering signals extracted the seabed hardness and roughness components as well as various seabed features. The seabed features were selected using the principal component analysis, and the seabed classification was performed by the K-means clustering. As a result, three seabed types such as sand, mud, and shell were discriminated. This preliminary study presented feasible application of a sounder to classify the seabed substrates. It can be further developed for characterizing marine habitats on a variety of spatial scales and studying the ecological characteristic of fishes near the habitats.

Morphological and positional characteristics of anchovy aggregations, confirmed by trawling, were examined in two locations of the southern part of theWest Sea (T1) and the western side of South Sea (T11) of South Korea. Morphological characteristics (mean length, height and area) of the anchovy aggregations at T1 were smaller than those at T11, however the positional characteristics (distributional depth and bottom depth) of the aggregations at T1 were larger than those at T11. Diverse dataset such as the ship's cruise track, the cruse map, and interpolated three-dimensional-like water temperature were visualized in multiple dimensions. For a comprehensive understanding of the anchovy aggregations within their surrounding circumstances, the interpolated water temperature transferred to the location of anchovy aggregations at both stations were visualized based on geospatial information. Using quantitative investigation, the overall range of change in water temperature and salinity of anchovy aggregations at stations was considerably small. However, the water temperature and salinity of anchovy aggregations at T11 were somewhat higher than those at T1.

South Korea, a country that built a world-class nuclear power infrastructure, shifted to a nuclear phaseout during the previous government's reign. This shift was pursued as part of a larger task of electricity mix reform, and one of the integral motives for such reform is addressing greenhouse gas (GHG) and fine dust problems. Thus, verifying the relationships between the public's concerns about GHG/fine dust and their acceptance of nuclear power generation is essential for designing public communication strategies to revive nuclear power under the ongoing environmental regime. Our analysis using a nationwide survey sample of South Korea (N = 1009, through proportionated quota sampling method) showed that the more people are concerned about GHG and fine dust, the less they accept nuclear power. These relationships held even after controlling for the effect of a third variable-energy-related environmentalism. This finding means that despite past communication efforts positioning nuclear power as a generation source that can mitigate GHG/fine dust emissions and the widely accepted scientific evidence that supports such positioning, nuclear power in Korea is in jeopardy. Our finding provides implications for public communications and fundamental knowledge for research on the determinants of nuclear power acceptance.

재난의 특성상 재난이 발생할 경우 지방정부차원에서 피해와 재정적 부담을 가져가야 하기 때문에 효과적으로 재난을 대비하고 재난관리 성과를 평가하기 위해서는 지역사회 단위로 접근해야 하나, 현재 우리나라는 중앙정부 위주로 재난관리가 이루어지고 있다. 실제로 세월호 사건 이후 재난안전 강화를 위해 신설된 국민안전처가 2016년 경주지진사건 등에서도 재난컨트롤타워로서의 제 기능을 하지 못한다는 비난과 염려가 제기되어 또 다른 실질적 대안이 필요한 시점이다. 이에 따라 재난대응 유관기관인 경찰조직의 재난관리 활동 및 역할에 관심이 대두되고 있어 본 연구에서는 경찰활동 중 특히 지역사회 경찰활동을 중점으로 지방정부차원에서 접근하고자 하였다. 물론 기존 지역사회 경찰활동은 범죄 예방활동이 주 업무이지만 경찰서비스의 확대를 기대하는 사회적 요구에 따라 경찰은 범죄예방에 국한하지 않고 지역주민의 안전과 지역사회의 질서를 위해 재난대응에도 적극적으로 개입하여야 한다. 따라서 재난 발생 시 신속하고 효과적으로 대응하여 피해를 최소화할 수 있도록 지역사회 경찰활동의 역할 및 범위를 재정립하고자 하였다. 또한, 지역사회 경찰활동은 지역주민과의 협조가 필수적이기 때문에 주민밀착형 재난대응 및 안전관리가 이루어지는 것을 중점으로 논의하였다. 연구결과, 본 연구에서는 재난안전 강화를 위한 지역사회 경찰활동 확대방안으로 지역경찰의 재난 활동에 대한 인식전환과 사경비와의 협력 체계 구축, 순찰차의 재난예방 활동과 초동조치, CCTV 통합 플랫폼 구축 등을 제시하여 경찰의 재난 대응 역량을 강화하고자 하였다.

For scientific research, a number of acoustic surveys using commercial echosounders equipped in fishing vessels were conducted throughout the world; however, few studies were performed in South Korea. Hence, this research is an preliminary study for presenting the application of a sounder from a fishing vessel. The fishing operations using a pair trawler (7 Cheonghae) was conducted in the Northwest-Western sea of Jeju Island from 20 to 23 April, 2016. Substantial impulse noises and attenuated signals were eliminated by the latest algorithms. Acoustic signals were grouped into the fish aggregations and long layer-like signals. The fish aggregations appeared between 30 and 60 m, and long layer-like signals showed the diurnal vertical migration. Energetic, morphological and positional properties of the fish aggregations and layer-like signals were described. The fish aggregations appeared mainly between sunrise and sunset; however layer-like signals tended to be presented regardless of time in consideration of the time series analysis. On the basis of the consignment sales, Scomberomorus niphonius, the target species of F/V 7 Cheonghae, was the highest catch with 4,280 kg (74.6%) and might have appeared in fish aggregations and layer forms.

경찰은 현장 출동 시 '2인 이상'의 현장 출동과 개인별 임무 분담을 규정하고 있다. 이러한 출동원칙과 개인별 임무 분담 규정에도 불구하고 현장 출동 시 적절치 않은 1대 1식 대응 중심의 무도훈련과 호신 체포술, 위해성 장비교육을 시행 하고 있으며 이로 인해 일어나는 과잉대응과 소극적 대응, 각종 인권문제 등 경찰의 피습과 피소 등의 심각한 문제점으로 경찰기관의 신뢰도 하락과 정당한 체포를 행한 경찰관의 책임 소재를 부담하게 되는 문제점이 드러나고 있다. 1대 1식의 경찰 교육훈련의 문제점을 고려할 때 '2인 이상'의 출동 원칙과 업무 분담 규정의 성격이 다른 교육훈련 체제 문제를 인식하고 현실에 맞는 교육훈련의 방법을 제시하고 개선해야 할 필요가 있다. 본고에서는 1대 1의 훈련방식의 문제점을 파악하고 경찰 교육훈련 시스템 현황과 외국의 교육 훈련 사례를 고찰하여 '2인 이상' 출동 원칙에 따른 현실적이고 전문적인 교육훈련 시스템과 프로그램을 도입하면 어떠한 결과를 볼 수 있는지 관찰하고 그에 따른 훈련방식방안을 제안하고자 한다.
