With urbanization projects involving trunk roads progressing, many simple interchanges, which separate passing traffic into the main traffic and access subtraffic, are being constructed to maximize the traffic capacity. Under the current Road Connection Rule, the access-prohibited section in an interchange is determined based on the access lane and limit distance in the complete interchange road, but separate criteria for the simple interchange are not defined. This may cause confusion in the Road Management Office's determination of the access-prohibited section in the simple interchange, or lead to the application of the criteria for the access-prohibited section in the complete interchange without considering the features of such interchange. This study conducted a comparative analysis of the domestic and overseas systems related to the installation of access section in trunk roads, such as general national roads. This paper presents a survey of the methods for applying the access-prohibited section in the interchange along with the actual cases and proposes improvement measures for a rational calculation of the access prohibited installation section in the simple interchange to minimize the downsides associated with the application of the extremely strict criteria. The proposed road connection rule improvement measures based on the consideration of the purpose of installing the simple interchange and on the consideration the features of the simple interchange are expected to prevent administration confusion by the field road management offices as well as the waste of unnecessary efforts and costs by petitioners so they can boost the service satisfaction for people and the administrative reliability.

With the advent of autonomous driving, personal mobility, drones, and smart roads, it is necessary to respond to changes in the road traffic environment in the road guidance system. However, the use of road signs to guide the road is decreasing compared to the past due to the advent of devices such as navigation and smartphones. Therefore, in this study, a large-scale survey was conducted to derive road sign issues and usage plans to respond to future changes. Based on this, this study presented a strategy to diversify road sign functions by analyzing the factors affecting the use of road signs by citizens. As a result, first, it is necessary to provide real-time variable road guidance information that reflects user needs such as traffic, weather, and local events. Second, it is necessary to informatize digital road signs such as reflecting maps with precision. Third, it is necessary to demonstrate road guidance in a virtual environment that reflects various future mobility and road environments.

As the medical markets have gradually changed from suppliers' markets to consumers' ones, the demands for consumer-centered strategies of hospital management and marketing, improved medical services, etc., have been increasing. Under such circumstances, this study was aimed at evaluating the marketing policies of our hospitals centering around the internal, cxternal and mutual marketing for consumers, and thereby presenting more influential strategies for hospitals. For this purpose, the employees and patients of a third stage general hospital in Seoul were surveyed by means of a questionnaire. All in all, 285 patients and 284 employees answered the questionnaire. The results of the survey can be summarized as follows : First, patients come to a hospital directly, according to rumors or being introduced by its employee. Second, the important factors determining patients' choice of a hospital are facility, medical staff, traffic and employee. Other factors are patient's age, living area, distance between patient's house and hospital, etc. Third, patients' perception of a hospital affects their choice of the hospital. Fourth, employees and patients perceive differently the marketing strategies of the hospital. Fifth, well-planned marketing strategies may change some sources of inconveniences into those of conveniences. Based on the above findings, effective marketing strategies for gonoral hoopitale can be presented as followes. 1. The poblic relations of hospital should be established first with visiting patients and employees. 2. The marketing strategies should be-based on the factors determing patient's preferences for hospital. 3. The marketing strategies should be flcxiblc enough to complement the weak points of the hospital. 4. The marketing strategies should be directed towards the improved medical services as well as mutual actions between consumers and employccs. 5. The marketing strategies should take into consideration employees perception and thus induce their voluntary participation. All in all, the study may be limited in that its results cannot be easily generalizod due to its small size, patients' variublcs rather than qualitative medical services are primarily reviewed, and that it depended on a straight forward questlonnaire survey.
