Rabies virus is transmitted most commonly through a bite from an infected dog. Especially, stray dogs that are not excluded from contact with rabid wild animals can become rabies vectors. Therefore, serological survey of rabies virus from stray dogs in Seoul Metropolitan City was carried out in this study. To investigate prevalence of rabies antibodies in the stray dogs, serum samples were taken from 500 stray dogs between April and December 2010. Antibodies to rabies virus were detected by indirect ELISA. Of 500 tested sera, 147 (29.4%) were positive to rabies virus. Prevalence rates of rabies antibodies(PRRA) in northern and southern Han river region of Seoul were 26.4% and 33.2% respectively. PRRA in male and female dogs were 33.6% and 26.1% respectively. PRRA in less than 1 year, 1~2< years, 2~3< years, 3~5< years, 5~10< years and over 10 years old dogs were 12.7%, 21.6%, 26.4%, 36.4%, 32.5% and 46.4%, respectively. These results indicates that antibody seroprevalence to rabies is still not enough to prevent rabies and rabies vaccination is required to enhance the seroprevalence in the dogs. To improve the situation, measures to raise public awareness of rabies and its prevention is needed. Also, reducing stray dogs and keeping companion animals from contact with wild animals are indispensable for the prevention of rabies.

Dirofilaria immitis infection is one of the most important parasitic diseases in dogs and public health. It often elicits nodules in the pulmonary parenchyma and in the subcutaneous tissues of human. In this study, we investigated the prevalence of D. immitis infection among 754 dogs in Seoul area from April to December 2012. The infection rate of 754 dogs was 9.8% (74/754) by the antigen test (canine SNAP 4Dx). The infection rates of D. immitis in dogs at the age of < 2, 2~4, 5~7, 8~10, and > 10 years were 3.7% (7/189), 12.9% (30/233), 15.0% (19/127), 9.8% (18/184), and 0% (0/21), respectively. The infection rates in the female and male dogs were 9.7% (33/340) and 9.9% (41/414), respectively. The regional infection rates in northern and southern Han river region of Seoul were 10.7% (44/410) and 8.7% (30/344), respectively. In order to confirm D. immitis infection, we performed PCR on serum samples of 74 dogs which tested positive for D. immitis antigen by the antigen test and we detected a specific gene ITS-2 in 59 serum samples. In conclusion, this study suggests that treatment and preventive care on the D. immitis infection should be considered in dogs of Seoul area.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the analytical model of the implicit price according to objective and subjective characteristics of housing. The hedonic price regression was used for estimating the implicit price. The subjectives of this study were 1,143 dwellers who live in Seoul metropolitan area. Taejeon, and Jeonju. Satistical analyses were conducted using frequencies, percentiles, mean, and multiple regression. The major findings were as follows: 1. There was a significant difference in the implict price of the apartment between owners and renters. 2. There was a sginificant difference in the implicit price of the apartment among Seoul metropolitan area, Taejeon, and Jeonju. 3. Using a stepwise multiple regression method, the order of variables as they were entered in the model were different between tenure types (owner/renter), and regions(Seoul metroplitan area/Taejeon/Jeonju). 4. The linear model was the most appropriate noe which explained the housing price. 5. Subjective characteristics of housing in Taejeon and Jeonju had an effect on the housing price more than those in Seoul metropolitan area.

2010년 2월 9일 수도권에서 모멘트 규모 3.1 지진이 발생했다. 수도권 지역에서는 계기지진 관측이 시작된 후 오랫동안 유감지진 보고가 없었기 때문에, 이 지진은 수도권의 지진 위험성과 위해성을 상기시키는 계기가 되었다. 수도권은 약 2천 5백만 명의 인구밀집지역으로서 인구수 측면에서 본다면 세계에서 가장 큰 대도시 중 하나이다. 이 지진이 발생한 위치에서 규모 6.5의 지진이 발생했음을 가정하여 지진동을 시뮬레이션 해보면, 많은 인구와 구조물의 취약성으로 인하여 서울을 포함한 수도권 지역은 매우 심각한 위해성을 가지고 있을 것으로 생각된다. 본 연구의 동기를 제공한 시흥 지진이 피해를 야기할 수 있는 주요 지진으로 간주될 수는 없지만, 이 지역의 역사적 지진기록과 최근 지진발생 현황에 비추어 볼 때 그 중요성을 간과해서는 안 된다. 또한 수도권처럼 지진발생이 많지 않은 곳에서는 기존의 지진관측망으로 감시하는 지진보다 작은 규모의 지진을 지진위험성 및 위해성 평가에 사용할 것을 제안한다.

To establish area specific control strategies for the reduction of the ozone concentration, the Ozone Isopleth Plotting Package for Research(OZIPR) model has been widely used. However, the model results tend to changed by various input parameters such as the background concentration, emission amount of NOx and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and meteorological condition. Thus, sensitivity analysis should be required to ensure the reliability of the result. The OZIPR modeling results for five local government districts in the Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA) in June 2000 were used for the sensitivity analysis. The sensitivity analysis result showed that the modeling result of the SMA being VOC-limited region be still valid for a wide range of input parameters' variation. The estimated ozone concentrations were positively related with the initial VOCs concentrations while were negatively related with the initial NOx concentrations. But, the degree of the variations at each local district was different suggesting area specific characteristics being also important. Among the five local governments, Suwon was chosen to identify other variance through the period from April to September in 2000. The monthly modeling results show different ozone values, but still showing the characteristics of VOCs-limited region. Limitations due to not considering long range transport and transfer from neighbor area, limitation of input data, error between observed data and estimated data are all discussed.

Purpose: To examine geographical imbalances by analyzing new graduate nurses' migration patterns among regions where they grew up, attended nursing school, and had their first employment and to identify factors related to working in non-metropolitan areas. Methods: The sample consisted of 507 new graduates working in hospitals as full-time registered nurses in South Korea. Migration patterns were categorized into 5 patterns based on sequential transitions of "geographic origin-nursing school-hospital." Multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify factors associated with working in non-metropolitan hospitals. Results: Nurses who grew up, graduated, and worked in the same region accounted for the greatest proportion (54%). Sixty-five percent had their first employment in the region where they graduated. Nurses tended to move from poor to rich regions and from non-metropolitan to metropolitan areas. Working in non-metropolitan hospitals was related to older age, the father having completed less than 4 years of college education, non-metropolitan origin, non-capital city school graduation, and a diploma (vs. baccalaureate) degree. Conclusion: Admitting students with rural backgrounds, increasing rural nursing school admission capacities, and providing service-requiring scholarships, particularly for students from low-income families, are recommended to address geographical imbalances.

본 연구는 한국 경제의 변화과정을 염두에 두고 GRDP, 1인당 GRDP, 인구, 고용 등의 지표를 가지고 전국대비 수도권 지역의 누적적 성장과정을 분석하고, 이러한 수도권의 누적적 성장과정을 선도하는 산업부문을 탐색하기 위해 전국대비 지역의 노동생산성을 요소분해하여 1990년대 이후 수도권 경제의 구조적 변화과정을 살펴보았다. 첫째, 수도권 지역에는 산업연관 및 집적경제효과로 인하여 기업 및 생산요소 등에 대한 강력한 흡인력이 누적적으로 작용하고 있다. 그 결과, 수도권 지역이 우리나라의 경제를 선도하고 있지만 비수도권과의 경제력 격차가 특히 1997년 외환위기 이후의 경기 지역에서의 제조업의 가파른 누적적 성장으로 인해 더욱 더 심화되고 있다. 둘째, 수도권 지역의 노동생산성은 1990년대 중 후반부터 상승하고 있으며 해당지역 산업구조의 고도화가 완만하게나마 진행되고 있다. 마지막으로 제조업, 금융보험업, 통신업 등이 전체적으로 수도권 지역 전체의 생산성지수의 증가에 중요한 역할을 하였으며 사회, 개인, 공공 및 기타서비스업, 부동산사업서비스 등의 서비스업과 전기가스수도업, 통신업 등이 고용의 확대와 재배치에 중요한 기여를 하였다. 이는 수도권 지역의 핵심 산업이 IT 중심의 제조업과 금융보험업을 포함한 생산자서비스산업이라는 점과, 대도시의 경제적 특성과 외환위기 이후의 경제상황을 반영한 서비스업에서 고용증가가 이루어지고 있음을 보여준다.

The purpose of this paper is estimating environmental carving capacity of Seoul Metropolitan Area for a sustainable city management using system dynamics model. A sustainable development requires a society to define sustainability constraints or environmental limits, environmental carving capacity. Environmental carving capacity can be defined as the level of human activity which a region can sustain at an acceptable quality of life level. This concept of environmental carving capacity has several important application to sustainable city planning and management. If the limitation of a human activity can be supported by a scientific data on carving capacity, the resulting decision and actions could more easily win public support for a sustainable development. However, one of the key issues is how to operationalize the carving capacity. In this paper, the environmental carving capacity was operationalized as a maximum number of industry structure, population, and housing that can sustain certain level of environmental quality of Seoul Metropolitan Area. The model developed in this paper consisted off sectors: population, housing, industry, land, and environmental sector. The model limits its main focus on the NO$_2$level of ambient air of Seoul. Carving capacity Seoul Metropolitan Area was estimated by figuring out the maximum number of population, industry structure, housing at an equilibrium point that sustain a desirable NO$_2$level. Based on the model estimation, several policy implications for a sustainable city management was discussed.

In this study, we identify the variables that affect the number of crime and spatial correlation in the Seoul metropolitan area, in addition, we measure the relative risk on the incidence of crime by a Poisson regression model. We suggest a statistical methodology to make a risk map for crime based on relative risk instead of the total event of crime by region using the Geographic Information System. To demonstrate the use and advantages of this methodology, this study presents an analyses of the total crime count in 25 wards in the Seoul metropolitan area.

이 논문의 목적은 부산의 인구 감소가 수도권으로의 인구유출에 의한 결과일 뿐만 아니라 부산의 교외화에 의한 결과임을 밝히는 것이다. 이를 위해 7대도시 및 부산권의 인구와 가구, 그리고 시도간 및 부산권의 인구이동을 분석하였다. 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 부산은 서울, 대구 등 우리나라의 다른 대도시와 유사하게 인구 감소 경향을 보이고 있다. 둘째, 부산의 인구가 감소하고 있음에도 불구하고, 가구는 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 셋째, 부산의 인구는 수도권뿐만 아니라 부산권으로도 다수 유출되고 있으므로, 부산의 인구 감소를 수도권으로의 인구유출로만 해석하는 시각은 옳지 않다. 넷째, 부산의 인구는 부산권 내의 인접한 도시로 주로 유출되고 있으며, 따라서 부산의 인구 감소는 부산의 교외화, 즉 부산권의 성장으로 해석될 수 있다.
