Objectives : Our objective is to review and summarize the previous studies on the health effects of exposure to oil spills in order to make suggestions for mid- and long-term study plans regarding the health effects of the Hebei Spirit oil spill occured in Korea. Methods : We searched PubMed to systemically retrieve reports on the human health effects related to oil spill accidents. The papers' reference lists and reviews on the topic were searched as well. Results : We found 24 articles that examined seven oil spill accidents worldwide over the period from 1989 to August 2008, including the Exxon Valdes, Braer, Sea Empress, Erika, Nakhodka, Prestige and Tasman Spirit oil spills. Most of the studies applied cross-sectional and short-term follow-up study designs. The exposure level was measured by assessing the place of residence, using a questionnaire and environmental and personal monitoring. Studies on the acute or immediate health effects mainly focused on the subjective physical symptoms related to clean-up work or residential exposure. Late or mid-term follow-up studies were performed to investigate a range of health effects such as pulmonary function and endocrine, immunologic and genetic toxicity. The economic and social impact of the accidents resulted in the socio-psychological exposure and the psychosocial health effects. Conclusions : Studies of the health effects of exposure to oil spills should consider a range of health outcomes, including the physical and psychological effects, and the studies should be extended for a considerable period of time to study the long-term chronic health effects.

In this study, a new numerical modeling system was proposed to predict oil spills, which increasingly occur at sea as a result of abnormal weather conditions such as global warming. The hydrodynamic conditions such as the flow velocity needed to calculate oil dispersion were estimated using a three dimensional hydrodynamic model based on the Navier-Stokes equation, which considered all of the physical variations in the vertical direction. This improved the accuracy compared to those estimated by the conventional shallow water equation. The advection-diffusion model for the spilled oil was combined with the hydrodynamic model to predict the movement and fate of the oil. The effects of absorption, weathering, and wind were also considered in the calculation process. The combined model developed in this study was then applied to various test cases to identify the characteristics of oil dispersion over time. It is expected that the developed model will help to establish initial response and disaster prevention plans in the event of a nearshore oil spill.

본고는 국산화의 경제적 파급효과에 대한 이론적 설명을 제시하고, 국산개발에 성공한 한국형 경량전철 도입이 생산, 부가가치, 취업 등 경제전반에 미치는 영향을 실증분석 한다. 파급효과는 수입차 대신 한국형 경량전철을 적용하는 경우에 발생하는 순파급효과(순이득)와 국산차든 수입차든 경량전철을 건설해 운영할 때 발생하는 총파급효과를 구별하여 추정한다. 분석모형은 산업 간 전후방 연관효과를 반영할 수 있도록 산업연관분석을 적용한다. 추정결과, 경량전철 국산화는 수입대체와 무역수지 개선, 생산 부가가치 취업 유발 등 막대한 순이득을 초래하며, 건설비, 시스템공사비, 차량구입비, 운영비, 관세운송비 등의 비용절감 효과도 매우 큰 것으로 나타났다.

Removal of spilled oil over the sea and the river has become one of the urgent problems in these days. Removing oil using mechanical devices was recommended because chemical dispersion could cause the secondary contamination in the environment. In the present study a series of experiments were carried out to study the effect of operating conditions, especially, the angle between the belt and the fluid surface on the rate of recovery for the spilled oil using a belt skimmer. Three different types of operation, namely, upward pickup, downward pickup and up-and-downward pickup situations have been investigated for various contact angles, belt speeds and oil thicknesses to find the effects on the recovery rate. The highest rate of oil recovery was found in the case of a contact angle of $45^{\circ}$ and downward pickup. Furthermore, an optimal belt speed was found to reach the saturated recovery rate for a given oil thickness.

해양환경으로 유출된 침강 HNS에 대하여 환경영향 평가를 위한 사후 모니터링 수행은 다량의 오염 물질이 유출된 경우와 해양 환경에 영구적 또는 장기적인 영향을 주는 경우에 특히 필요하다. 침강 HNS의 유출은 해저면에 혐기성 환경을 만들거나 지형과 해류에 따라 이동하며 퇴적물에 섞기거나 흡착되고 또는 반응하여 오염물질을 방출하기도 한다. 이는 저서생태계와 관련된 해양환경에 영향을 줄 수 있으며, 불용성 침강 HNS는 해양 환경에 지속적으로 존재할 수 있다. 침강 HNS 유출 후 사후 모니터링은 사례연구를 통해 첫째, 모델링을 통한 유출물질의 영향을 예측하고, 둘째 원격탐사 등을 이용한 유출지역의 탐색 및 오염물질 유무를 확인하며, 셋째 수계 및 퇴적물 시료의 화학적 분석과 생물학적 분석을 통하여 해양환경을 평가하는 단계로 되어 있으며, 모니터링 결과는 복원(Restoration) 또는 피해 및 보상 평가 등의 계획을 수립하는데 활용되고 있다. 또한 사후모니터링 조사항목 중 해양환경기준에 명시되어 있는 항목은 그 기준을 적용하여 평가하는 것이 유출 사고 전과 후의 환경영향을 평가하는데 유용할 수 있다.

This paper analyzes interactive activities of foreign R&D centers operating in Korea. Interactive activities refer to collaborative R&D activities, R&D outsourcing, and formation of communities between foreign R&D centers and Korean firms and institutions. Active interactions between foreign R&D centers and their Korean partners (Korean firms and universities, research institutes etc.) are essential in promoting spillover effects from foreign R&D centers. Using the survey of 76 foreign R&D centers operating in Korea, this paper found the intensity of interplay between foreign R&D centers and the Korean firms and institutions was not so high. And the partners of foreign R&D centers with the mission of finding new technologies in Korea are mainly customers rather than universities and research institutes. This result is markedly different from previous studies focused on the cases of western countries, where the partners of foreign R&D centers that have the mission of finding new technologies were mainly local universities and research institutes.

Since 2004, Ministry for Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries(MIFAFF) has been carrying out comprehensive rural village development project as the core one of Rural Area Development Schemes in Korea. Up to now, 56 projects had been completed after having with 5-year plan implementation period, on which it is possible to try post-project evaluation works. This study aims to propose a rational income-generation works model of comprehensive rural village development project, based on fulfillment checking results of their statutory stepwise working procedures specified in the project guidelines and their interim/post project performance analysis results in 56 project areas above mentioned. In comprehensive rural village development project, income-generation works generally have both quantitative and qualitative effects to rural communities; the former is focussed on income increasement of villagers, while the latter on community revitalization through job creation and spill-over effects of other linked community activities. So, the research works of this study focussed on these two comprehensive effects above mentioned.

PURPOSES : Traffic cameras have been installed to reduce traffic accidents. The effectiveness of traffic cameras has been proved by dozens of studies, but recently questions over its effectiveness have been raised by a series of studies. In this study, the effectiveness of traffic cameras was analyzed with a focus on different road environments. METHODS : The effectiveness of the traffic cameras was analyzed by extracting the occurence frequency before and after camera installation. The effect of reduction was analyzed comprehensively considering the installation position, monitoring direction, and surrounding environment of traffic cameras. RESULTS : The result of this study is as follows. First, the installation of cameras in an area with relatively low accidental traffic was more effective. Secondly, the effect of camera installation on car-to-pedestrian collisions was better than that of car-to-car collisions. Thirdly, accidents tended to occur more frequently when cameras were installed in front of the accident-prone owing to the negative spill-over effect. CONCLUSIONS : The result can be used to guide placement of traffic cameras. Moreover, the installation of cameras with consideration of the road environment is expected to contribute to a reduction in traffic fatalities.

본고에서는 창조경제하의 주요 특성(네트워크 외부성과 스필오버 효과)을 감안한 이론모형을 구축하고 신용보증 등 정책금융의 효과를 분석한 결과, 창조경제하에서 발생할 수 있는 정보의 비대칭성을 축소시킬 수 있는 인프라 구축과 금융시장의 효율성 제고가 양적 지원 확대 못지않게 중요한 것으로 나타났다. 즉 신용보증제도와 같은 정부의 정책금융이 소기의 성과를 내기 위해서는 시장실패로 인한 자금의 갭을 메우는 것도 중요하지만 창조경제하에서 이와 같은 정보의 비대칭성을 줄일 수 있는 인프라 및 다양한 기제가 혁신기업의 창업 및 성장단계에 따라 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 것이 구비되지 않았을 경우 정책금융 지원효과는 오히려 시장에 공급되는 금융규모 자체를 줄이거나 오히려 혁신기술의 상용화 가능성을 낮출 것으로 지적되었다. 현재 우리나라의 중소기업금융과 신용보증제도 현황을 살펴본 결과 창조경제 구축에 부합하게끔 정책목표나 방향이 설정되어 있으나 양적인 측면의 공급확대이지 질적인 측면에서 보다 근본적인 정보의 비대칭성 문제 해소에는 미흡한 것으로 평가되었다. 이와 같은 논의 결과를 토대로 창조경제 활성화를 위한 금융지원의 기본방향으로 시장친화적 금융지원정책의 추진과 이를 위한 위험분담 체계의 구축, 관계형 금융 활성화, 중소기업 금융정책의 효율화가 제시되었다. 이러한 기본방향을 전제로 신용보증제도와 관련하여서는 창조경제의 특성이 고위험인 만큼 자칫 이와 같은 공적 지원의 양적 확대가 재정부담으로 작용할 수 있으므로 효율적인 보증제도의 운용 필요성이 제기되었다.
