조선왕조의 기록관리 전통의 맥이 끊어진지 거의 한세기가 지난 1999년도에 한국은 "공공기관의 기록물관리에 관한 법률"을 제정 시행함으로써 기록관리의 새로운 시대를 맞이했다. 조선왕조실록에는 국사 전반에 걸쳐 오백년 간의 중요한 역사적 사실들이 기록되었다. 이것은 인류역사상 주요한 업적이며 전세계적으로 귀한 사례이다. 이것이 가능했던 것은 실록이 누대(累代)의 사관들이 저술하고 편찬한 일차자료인 기록물을 수집, 선정한 것이기 때문이다. 근대적 기록보존소에서는 중요한 공공기록물이 원형대로 보존될 필요가 있기 때문에 기록보존을 위해 중요한 국가 기록물을 평가 선별하는 근대적 기록보존제도를 확립해야 했다. 그러나 일제에 의한 식민지화로 그 기회를 빼앗겼고 우리의 훌륭한 기록보전 전통은 계승되지 못했다. 중앙화된 기록보존제도는 1969년 총무처에 정부기록보존소를 설립함으로써 발전하기 시작했다. 정부기록보존소는 조선왕조의 사고 전통을 계승해서 1984년 부산에 현대적 사고시설을 건축했다. 1998년 정부기록보존소는 대전정부종합청사로 본부를 이전하고 첨단 시청각기록물 서고를 갖추었다. 1996년부터 정부기록보존소는 마이크로필름 보존을 보완하고 수작업 등록시스템을 개선하기 위하여 기록물 관리시스템 전산화를 도입했다. 소장 기록물의 디지털화는 이용자에게 디지털 이미지를 제공하기 위한 주요한 사업이었다. 이를 위해 정부기록보존소는 새로 컴퓨터/서버 시스템을 구입하고 응용 소프트웨어를 개발했다. 이와 병행하여 정부기록보존소는 역사학 및 문헌정보학 배경을 가진 아키비스트들을 증원하여 고도의 전문화를 이루는 방향으로 인력구조를 크게 혁신하였다. 보존연구직과 전산직 역시 채용되었다. 새로운 기록물관리법은 2000년 1월 1일부터 시행되고 있다. 이 법은 한국의 기록물관리에 있어 다음과 같은 변화를 가져왔다. 첫째, 이 법은 입법 사법 행정부, 헌법기관, 육해공군, 국가정보원 등 모든 공공기관의 기록물을 규정한다. 범국가적으로 통일된 기록물관리체계가 갖추어지게 되었다. 둘째, 각 기관의 수준별로 공공기록물 관리 기관을 두게 되었다. 중앙기록물관리기관, 국회 및 사법부에 특수기록물관리기관, 대도시 및 도에 지방기록물 관리기관, 공공기관에 자료관 또는 특수자료관, 각 과단위에서는 기록물관리책임자가 기록관리를 책임지게 되었다. 셋째, 공공기관의 기록물은 생산시에 컴퓨터에 등록된다. 따라서 인터넷이나 컴퓨터망을 통해 기록물을 쉽게 추적, 검색할 수 있게 될 것이다. 넷째, 기록관리학 분야에서 전문적 훈련을 받은 기록물관리 전문요원 배치를 의무화함으로써 기록물의 전문적 관리를 보장하게 된다. 다섯째, 공공기록물의 불법적 처리는 처벌을 받을 수 있는 범죄를 구성한다. 앞으로 공공기록물관리는 한국정부의 '전자정부 추진정책'과 함께 발전할 것이다. 다음과 같은 변화가 예상된다. 첫째 공공기관에서는 전자결재 문서 외에 종이문서, 시청각기록물, 간행물 등도 모두 디지털화하여 행정의 효율화 및 생산성을 제고할게 될 것이다. 둘째, 국회는 이미 특수기록관을 설립하였다. 법원과 국가정보원도 뒤를 따를 것이다. 시도 차원에서 더 많은 기록관들이 설립될 것이다. 셋째, 우리 사회가 지식정보사회화 될수록 기록관리기능은 더욱 중요한 국가기능이 될 것이다. 더 많은 대학교, 학회, 시민단체들이 기록보존에 고한 인식제고에 참여하고, 기록보존운동이 범국민적 차원으로 심화될수록 한국의 기록물관리는 현재보다 눈에 띄게 발전할 것이다.

The US supports the Information and Communication (IC) industry as a strategic one to wield a complete power over the World Market. However, several other countries are also eager to have the support for the IC industry because the industry produces a high added value and has a significant effect on other industries. Korea is not an exception. Korea recently succeeded in the commercialization of CDMA for the first time in the world, after the successful development of TDX. Hence, it is highly likely to get tracked by the US. Although the IC industry is a specific sector of IT, there is a concern that there might be a trade friction between the US and Korea due to a possible competition. It will be very important to prepare a solution in advance so that Korea could prevent the friction and at the same time increase its share domestically and globally. It will be our important task to solve the problem with the minimum cost if the conflict arises unfortunately in the IT area. The parties that have a strong influence on the US trade policy are the think tank group and the IT-related interest group. Therefore, it would be important to have a close relationship with them. We found some implications by analyzing the case of Japan, which has experienced trade frictions with the US over the long period of time in the high tech industry. In order to get rid of those conflicts with the US, the Japanese did the following things : (1) The Japanese government developed supporting theories and also resorted to international support so that the world could support the Japanese theories. (2) Through continual dialogue with the US business people, the Japanese business people sought after solutions to share profits among the Japanese and the US both in the domestic and in the worldwide markets. They focused on lobbying activities to influence the US public opinion to support the Japanese. The specific implementation plan was first to open culture lobby toward opinion leaders who were leaders about the US opinion. The institution, Japan Society, were formed to deliver a high quality lobbying activities. The second plan is economic lobby. They have established Japanese Economic Institute at Washington. They provide information about Japan regularly or irregularly to the US government, research institution, universities, etc., that are interested in Japan. The main objective behind these activities though is to advertise the validity of Japanese policy. Japanese top executives, practical interest groups on international trade, are trying to justify their position by direct contact with the US policy makers. The third one is political lobby. Japan is very careful about this political lobby. It is doing its best not to give impression that Japan is trying to shape the US policy making. It is collecting a vast amount of information to make a correct judgment on situation. It is not tilted toward one political party or the other, and is rather developing a long-term network of people who understand and support the Japanese policy. The following implications were drawn from the experience of Japan. First, the Korean government should develop a long-term plan and execute it to improve the Korean image perceived by American people. Second, the Korean government should begin public relation activities toward the US elite group. It is inevitable to make an effort to advertise Korea to this elite group because this group leads public opinion in the USA. Third, the Korean government needs the development of a relevant policy to elevate the positive atmosphere for advertising toward the US. For example, we need information about to whom and how to about lobbying activities, personnel network who immediately respond to wrong articles about Korea in the US press, and lastly the most recent data bank of Korean support group inside the USA. Fourth, the Korean government should create an atmosphere to facilitate the advertising toward the US. Examples include provision of incentives in tax on the expenses for the advertising toward the US and provision of rewards to those who significantly contribute to the advertising activities. Fifth, the Korean government should perform the role of a bridge between Korean and the US business people. Sixth, the government should promptly analyze the policy of IT industry, a strategic area, and timely distribute information to industries in Korea. Since the Korean government is the only institution that has formal contact with the US government, it is highly likely to provide information of a high quality. The followings are some implications for business institutions. First, Korean business organization should carefully analyze and observe the business policy and managerial conditions of US companies. It is very important to do so because all the trade frictions arise at the business level. Second, it is also very important that the top management of Korean firms contact the opinion leaders of the US. Third, it is critically needed that Korean business people sent to the USA do their part for PR activities. Fourth, it is very important to advertise to American employees in Korean companies. If we cannot convince our American employees, it would be a lot harder to convince regular American. Therefore, it is very important to make the American employees the support group for Korean ways. Fifth, it should try to get much information as early as possible about the US firms policy in the IT area. It should give an enormous effort on early collection of information because by doing so it has more time to respond. Sixth, it should research on the PR cases of foreign enterprise or non-American companies inside the USA. The research needs to identify the success factors and the failure factors. Finally, the business firm will get more valuable information if it analyzes and responds to, according to each medium.

The first and the second "Discussion Contest of Scientific Investigation" was evaluated in this study. This contest was a part of 'Korean Youth Science Festival' held in 1993 and 1994. The evaluation was based on the data collected from the middle school students of final teams, their teachers, a large number of middle school students and college students who were audience of the final competition. Questionnaires, interviews, reports of final teams, and video tape of final competition were used to collect data. The study focussed on three research questions. The first was about the preparation and the research process of students of final teams. The second was about the format and the proceeding of the Contest. The third was whether participating the Contest was useful experience for the students and the teachers of the final teams. The first area, the preparation and the research process of students, were investigated in three aspects. One was the level of cooperation, participation, support and the role of teachers. The second was the information search and experiment, and the third was the report writing. The students of the final teams from both years, had positive opinion about the cooperation, students' active involvement, and support from family and school. Students considered their teachers to be a guide or a counsellor, showing their level of active participation. On the other hand, the interview of 1993 participants showed that there were times that teachers took strong leading role. Therefore one can conclude that students took active roles most of the time while the room for improvement still exists. To search the information they need during the period of the preparation, student visited various places such as libraries, bookstores, universities, and research institutes. Their search was not limited to reading the books, although the books were primary source of information. Students also learned how to organize the information they found and considered leaning of organizing skill useful and fun. Variety of experiments was an important part of preparation and students had positive opinion about it. Understanding related theory was considered most difficult and important, while designing and building proper equipments was considered difficult but not important. This reflects the students' school experience where the equipments were all set in advance and students were asked to confirm the theories presented in the previous class hours. About the reports recording the research process, students recognize the importance and the necessity of the report but had difficulty in writing it. Their reports showed tendency to list everything they did without clear connection to the problem to be solved. Most of the reports did not record the references and some of them confused report writing with story telling. Therefore most of them need training in writing the reports. It is also desirable to describe the process of student learning when theory or mathematics that are beyond the level of middle school curriculum were used because it is part of their investigation. The second area of evaluation was about the format and the proceeding of the Contest, the problems given to students, and the process of student discussion. The format of the Contests, which consisted of four parts, presentation, refutation, debate and review, received good evaluation from students because it made students think more and gave more difficult time but was meaningful and helped to remember longer time according to students. On the other hand, students said the time given to each part of the contest was too short. The problems given to students were short and open ended to stimulate students' imagination and to offer various possible routes to the solution. This type of problem was very unfamiliar and gave a lot of difficulty to students. Student had positive opinion about the research process they experienced but did not recognize the fact that such a process was possible because of the oneness of the task. The level of the problems was rated as too difficult by teachers and college students but as appropriate by the middle school students in audience and participating students. This suggests that it is possible for student to convert the problems to be challengeable and intellectually satisfactory appropriate for their level of understanding even when the problems were difficult for middle school students. During the process of student discussion, a few problems were observed. Some problems were related to the technics of the discussion, such as inappropriate behavior for the role he/she was taking, mismatching answers to the questions. Some problems were related to thinking. For example, students thinking was off balanced toward deductive reasoning, and reasoning based on experimental data was weak. The last area of evaluation was the effect of the Contest. It was measured through the change of the attitude toward science and science classes, and willingness to attend the next Contest. According to the result of the questionnaire, no meaningful change in attitude was observed. However, through the interview several students were observed to have significant positive change in attitude while no student with negative change was observed. Most of the students participated in Contest said they would participate again or recommend their friend to participate. Most of the teachers agreed that the Contest should continue and they would recommend their colleagues or students to participate. As described above, the "Discussion Contest of Scientific Investigation", which was developed and tried as a new science contest, had positive response from participating students and teachers, and the audience. Two among the list of results especially demonstrated that the goal of the Contest, "active and cooperative science learning experience", was reached. One is the fact that students recognized the experience of cooperation, discussion, information search, variety of experiments to be fun and valuable. The other is the fact that the students recognized the format of the contest consisting of presentation, refutation, discussion and review, required more thinking and was challenging, but was more meaningful. Despite a few problems such as, unfamiliarity with the technics of discussion, weakness in inductive and/or experiment based reasoning, and difficulty in report writing, The Contest demonstrated the possibility of new science learning environment and science contest by offering the chance to challenge open tasks by utilizing student science knowledge and ability to inquire and to discuss rationally and critically with other students.

The success of the family planning program in Korea is reflected in the decrease in the growth rate from 3.0% in 1962 to 2.0% in 1971, and in the decrease in the fertility rate from 43/1,000 in 1960 to 29/1,000 in 1970. However, it would be erroneous to attribute these reductions entirely to the family planning program. Other socio-economic factors, such as the increasing age at marriage and the increasing use of induced abortions, definitely had an impact on the lowered growth and fertility rate. Despite the relative success of the program to data in meeting its goals, there is no room for complacency. Meeting the goal of a further reduction in the population growth rate to 1.3% by 1981 is a much more difficult task than any one faced in the past. Not only must fertility be lowered further, but the size of the target population itself will expand tremendously in the late seventies; due to the post-war baby boom of the 1950's reaching reproductive ages. Furthermore, it is doubtful that the age at marriage will continue to rise as in the past or that the incidence of induced abortion will continue to increase. Consequently, future reductions in fertility will be more dependent on the performance of the national family planning program, with less assistance from these non-program factors. This paper will describe various approaches to help to the solution of these current problems. 1. PRACTICE RATE IN FAMILY PLANNING In 1973, the attitude (approval) and knowledge rates were quite high; 94% and 98% respectively. But a large gap exists between that and the actual practice rate, which is only 3695. Two factors must be considered in attempting to close the KAP-gap. The first is to change social norms, which still favor a larger family, increasing the practice rate cannot be done very quickly. The second point to consider is that the family planning program has not yet reached all the eligible women. A 1973 study determineded that a large portion, 3096 in fact, of all eligible women do not want more children, but are not practicing family planning. Thus, future efforts to help close the KAP-gap must focus attention and services on this important large group of potential acceptors. 2. CONTINUATION RATES Dissatisfaction with the loop and pill has resulted in high discontinuation rates. For example, a 1973 survey revealed that within the first six months initial loop acceptance. nearly 50% were dropouts, and that within the first four months of inital pill acceptance. nearly 50% were dropouts. These discontinuation rates have risen over the past few years. The high rate of discontinuance obviously decreases the contraceptive effectiveness. and has resulted in many unwanted births which is directly related to the increase of induced abortions. In the future, the family planning program must emphasize the improved quality of initial and follow-up services. rather than more quantity, in order to insure higher continuation rates and thus more effective contraceptive protection. 3. INDUCED ABORTION As noted earlier. the use of induced abortions has been increase yearly. For example, in 1960, the average number of abortions was 0.6 abortions per women in the 15-44 age range. By 1970. that had increased to 2 abortions per women. In 1966. 13% of all women between 15-44 had experienced at least one abortion. By 1971, that figure jumped to 28%. In 1973 alone, the total number of abortions was 400,000. Besides the ever incre.sing number of induced abortions, another change has that those who use abortions have shifted since 1965 to include- not. only the middle class, but also rural and low-income women. In the future. in response to the demand for abortion services among rural and low-income w~men, the government must provide and support abortion services for these women as a part of the national family planning program. 4. TARGET SYSTIi:M Since 1962, the nationwide target system has been used to set a target for each method, and the target number of acceptors is then apportioned out to various sub-areas according to the number of eligible couples in each area. Because these targets are set without consideration for demographic factors, particular tastes, prejudices, and previous patterns of acceptance in the area, a high discontinuation rate for all methods and a high wastage rate for the oral pill and condom results. In the future. to alleviate these problems of the methodbased target system. an alternative. such as the weighted-credit system, should be adopted on a nation wide basis. In this system. each contraceptive method is. assigned a specific number of points based upon the couple-years of protection (CYP) provided by the method. and no specific targets for each method are given. 5. INCREASE OF STERILIZA.TION TARGET Two special projects. the hospital-based family planning program and the armed forces program, has greatly contributed to the increasing acceptance in female and male sterilization respectively. From January-September 1974, 28,773 sterilizations were performed. During the same time in 1975, 46,894 were performed; a 63% increase. If this trend continues, by the end of 1975. approximately 70,000 sterilizations will have been performed. Sterilization is a much better method than both the loop and pill, in terms of more effective contraceptive protection and the almost zero dropout rate. In the future, the. family planning program should continue to stress the special programs which make more sterilizations possible. In particular, it should seek to add the laparoscope techniques to facilitate female sterilization acceptance rates. 6. INCREASE NUMBER OF PRIVATE ACCEPTORS Among the current family planning users, approximately 1/3 are in the private sector and thus do not- require government subsidy. The number of private acceptors increases with increasing urbanization and economic growth. To speed this process, the government initiated the special hospital based family planning program which is utilized mostly by the private sector. However, in the future, to further hasten the increase of private acceptors, the government should encourage doctors in private practice to provide family planning services, and provide the contraceptive supplies. This way, those do utilize the private medical system will also be able to receive family planning services and pay for it. Another means of increasing the number of private acceptors, IS to greatly expand the commercial outlets for pills and condoms beyond the existing service points of drugstores, hospitals, and health centers. 7. IE&C PROGRAM The current preferred family size is nearly twice as high as needed to achieve a stable poplation. Also, a strong boy preference hinders a small family size as nearly all couples fuel they must have at least one or more sons. The IE&C program must, in the future, strive to emphasize the values of the small family and equality of the sexes. A second problem for the IE&C program to work. with in the: future is the large group of people who approves family planning, want no more children, but do not practice. The IE&C program must work to motivate these people to accept family planning And finally, for those who already practice, an IE&C program in the future must stress continuation of use. The IE&C campaign, to insure highest effectiveness, should be based on a detailed factor analysis of contraceptive discontinuance. In conclusion, Korea faces a serious unfavorable sociodemographic situation- in the future unless the population growth rate can be curtailed. And in the future, the decrease in fertility will depend solely on the family planning program, as the effect of other socio-economic factors has already been maximumally felt. A second serious factor to consider is the increasing number of eligible women due to the 1950's baby boom. Thus, to meet these challenges, the program target must be increased and the program must improve the effectiveness of its current activities and develop new programs.

대나무류(類)는 열대방지(熱帶方地)에서 총생(叢生)하는 대형(大型)의 대나무가 많고, 온대(溫帶)가 되면 소형(小型)의 세류(笹類)로 퇴화(退化)하여, 그 종류(種類)는 세계(世界)에 50속(屬) 1,000여종(餘種)이나 있다고하여 그 종류수(種類數)는 대단(大端)히 많다. 이와 같은 대나무는 동양(東洋)에서는 건엽용(建葉用)과 공예용(工藝用)으로 이용(利用)되고있으며, 또한 죽순(竹筍)은 식용(食用)으로서 특유(特有)한 맛이있어 상용(賞用)되고있을 뿐만아니라 최근(最近)에는 세류(笹類)의 액즙(液汁)이 암(癌)에도 효과(効果)가 있다고 하여 중요(重要)한 산업(産業)으로서 발달(發達)하게되었다. 그리고 동남아(東南亞)에서는 삽목(揷木)으로서 용이(容易)하게 증산(增産)하여 pulp재(材)로 사용(使用)하게되여 대단(大端)히 중요시(重要視)하고있다. 이와같이 대나무는 인류생활(人類生活)에 필요부가결(必要不可決)한 목본식물(木本植物)이지만 아직까지 그 형태(形態)의 분류(分類)가 명확(明確)하게 되어 있지 않고 지연되여 있는 형편이다. 18세기(世紀) 중반기(中半期)의 Linne시대(時代)에 들어와서 생식기관(生殖器管)을 주체(主體)로 한 그 형태(形態)의 분류체계(分類體系)가 만들어진 이래(以來) 수정(修正)이 거듭되여온 바 있으나 대나무는 개화(開花)가 일정(一定)한 주기(周期)가 있어서 60-120년(年)의 기나긴 세월(歲月)이 소요(所要)되기 때문에 그의 형태적(形態的) 분류체계(分類體系)를 완성(完成)하는일은 극(極)히 어려운 일이었다. 오늘날까지 대나무에 관(關)한 많은 문헌(文獻)이 있기는 하나 그 시료(試料)가 적기때문에 불확실(不確實)한 기재(記載)도 많이있었고 속(屬)이 변경(變更)된것도 간혹(間或)있어서 그것을 공인(公認)할수 없는 것이 많이 있다. 그래서 내부(內部)의 형태적(形態的)인 분류(分類)에 관(關)하여는 근년(近年)에 이르러 중국(中國)의 Liese씨(氏)에 의(依)하여 겨우 시작(始作)이 되였으며, 또한 독일(獨逸)의 Grosser씨등(氏等)이 유관속(維管束)의 형태(形態)에 착안(着眼)하여 새로운 형태(形態)의 분류(分類)를 시도(試圖)한바있다. 그러나 이들의 이 형태(形態)에 관한 분류(分類)는 Holttum의 자방(子房)의 형태(形態)에 의(依)한 분류(分類)와 밀접(密接)한 관계(關係)가 있는것 뿐이었다. 따라서 필자(筆者)는 유관속초(維管束鞘)의 형태(形態)에 의(依)해 자유중국산(自由中國産)의 대나무 11속(屬) 26종류(種類)를 재료(材料)로하여 대나무의 형태(形態)에 관(關)한 분류체계(分類體系)에 대(對)하여 재고(再考)를 시도(試圖)하여 보았다. 그 결과(結果) Grosser씨(氏) 등(等)의 형태(形態)의 분류(分類)와 일부(一部)는 일치(一致)하였으나, Bambusa와 Dendrocalamus는 분류(分類)하기가 곤란(困難)하였던 것을 고립유관속초(孤立維管束鞘)의 존부(存否)로서 명확(明確)히 구별(區別)할수있었고 또한 종류(種類)가 많은 Bambusa를 2개(個)의 형(型)으로 나눌수가 있었다. 따라서 이 결과(結果)는 앞으로 아속(亞屬)이나 혹(或)은 절(節)로서의 분류(分類)로서 고려(考慮)되여야 할 문제(問題)라고 생각한다. 왜냐하면 이 근거(根據)는, 죽간(竹稈)의 최외층(最外層)에서 최내층(最內層)으로 향(向)하여 변화(變化)하고있는 형태(形態)에 착안(着眼)하여, 그 분화적(分化的)인 면(面)을 관찰(觀察)하였기 때문이다. 이 형태적(形態的)인 분화(分化)에 관(關)한 관찰(觀察)은 형태분류(形態分類)의 철칙(鐵則)인 "간단(簡單)한 것에서 복잡(複雜)한 것으로 진화(進化)한다"라고하는 철칙(鐵則)에 있어서도 충분(充分)히 조사(調査)하여 보았는데, 그 결과(結果)는 생식기관(生殖器官)의 형태적분류(形態的分類)와 대조(對照)하여 결정(決定)되어야 할 것이며, 금후(今後)의 문제(問題)로서 계속연구(繼續硏究)할까 생각한다.
