Korea ranked 2nd in the UN Global e-Participation Index and ranked number one as the leader in e-Government for the third consecutive year. However, Korea ranked 51 in the level of information security published by WEF(World Economic Forum), relatively a low level comparing with its great number of users and excellent environments for the Internet service. A series of critical hacking accidents such as the information leak at Auction and GS Caltex emerged consecutively in 2008 year, resulting in the leak of personal & critical information. This led to a strong interest in the necessity and importance of information security and personal information so that demand for IT security is growing fast. In this paper, we survey to benchmark information security in the perspective of service level, system, investment and policy about major foreign countries. Then we research on an effective way to make the most of the benchmark result to Korea e-Government. In addition, the purpose of this paper is to improve national information security index by developing a policy for ISO 27001 ISMS, an international standard for Information Security Management System, and elevate safety and security of the e-Government serviced by central administrative organizations and local authorities.

The term 'fourth industrial revolution' was mentioned at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in 2016 and has become a term representing a new industrial era based on information and communication technology (ICT). In the environment of the 4th industrial revolution, ESG management activities are becoming a very important factor in business activities. With the emergence of a new paradigm of organizational operation in the post Covid19 era, the demands for ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) investment related to the environment, social responsibility are increasing. This study examines the role that can support ESG management by utilizing the expertise of appraisers. Real estate is one of the fields of high public interest, and since most ESGs have been conducted centered on the role of private companies, the role of the expert group or the role of public corporations and public institutions is relatively insufficient. If a company or general company engaged in the real estate investment business establishes the role of the Korea Appraisers Association to revitalize ESG management using appraisers, such as ESG appraisers, when investing in real estate, it is believed that it will be possible to promote efficient and sound development of the real estate industry. It was judged that a study on a group of experts was also necessary. In addition, even if the impact of Covid-19 is excluded, it is necessary to gradually introduce an appraisal using non-face-to-face or various advanced technologies (the 4th industry). This study differs from previous studies in that it focused on the role of ESG by the Korea Association of Property Appraisers while research on the role of ESG in public institutions or expert groups is being actively conducted in recent years.

Purpose - This research is aimed to investigate the impact of the Information and Communication Technology (hereinafter ICT) development index and ICT investment on Indonesian economic growth. Research design, data and methodology - The data used consist of ICT development index, government expenditure on ICT sector, and economic growth from 33 provinces in Indonesia from 2012 to 2015. Based on the Networked Readiness Index published by the World Economic Forum (WEF), Indonesia was ranked 80^th among 142 countries in 2012 and had climbed 64^th in 2014. This indicates that the businesses in Indonesia have adopted ICTs to increase productivity and expand their activities. Panel data regression analysis is performed to reveal the change of the impact over time in each of the provinces. Result - The ICT development index and government expenditure for ICT have a positive effect on the economic growth of all provinces, although the impact is different in each of the provinces. There is a digital gap between the provinces, especially the large digital gap occurring with DKI Jakarta. The provinces of Eastern Indonesia such as NTT and Papua are still relatively slow in development of ICT. Conclusions - ICT development index and allocation of local government expenditure for ICT have significant effect on economic growth. ICT development index has a bigger role in increasing economic growth.

2007년 세계경제포럼(WEF)은 우리가 직면한 최우선 해결과제로 기후변화를 언급하였다. 최저 기온 상승과 가뭄 영향 지역 확대, 폭염일수와 지역적 홍수 위험 증가 등 각종 이상기상이 야기하는 피해 확대에 대한 예상과 우려 때문이다(IPCC, 2007). 세계적으로 고온극한과 호우빈도 증가, 태풍 세기가 강화될 것으로 전망되고 있으며(IPCC, 2007), 국내의 경우 겨울철 한파 감소와 대설 피해 증가, 여름철 집중호우의 강도 심화, 가을철 초대형 태풍 발생으로 인한 피해 가능성이 예측 되고 있다(기상연구소, 2007). 현재, 이러한 현상들을 가시화하고 대처방안을 마련하기 위한 일환으로 기후변화 시나리오(GCM)가 작성되어 연구에 이용되고 있다. 그러나 GCM의 경우, 공간적 해상도가 낮아 지형학적 특성 등을 충분히 반영하지 못하는 단점이 있어 최근에는 공간 해상도가 GCM보다 높은 RCM(Regional Climate Model, 지역기후모델)자료를 적용한 연구도 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 SRES A2 온난화가스시나리오 기반의 기상청 RegCM3 RCM($27km{\times}27km$)로 부터 일(daily)단위 자료를 각각 모의하여 비교하고, BLRPM을 이용하여 일(daily)단위 자료를 시(hourly)단위로 분해(disaggregation)하였다. 그리고 이들을 이용하여 지속기간별 확률강우량을 산정하여 미래 기후변화가 극한 강우에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다.

The scale of global FDI has been decreasing since 2016 due to the ongoing US-China trade dispute, the strengthening of FDI inflow screening regulations with concern over strategic technology leaks, and the spread of reshoring trends due to the reinforcement of national preferences. Eventually, the competition to attract FDI between countries is expected to become more intense. Therefore, in order to attract high-quality FDI for Korea that will contribute to the development of the national economy, it is pressing to evaluate and improve the domestic FDI attraction environment. This study aims to analyze which areas of Korea's economic and non-economic environments need improvement for gaining advantage amid the fierce competition to attract FDI between countries, by the relative comparison between Korea and the U.S., and based on the ranking indicated in key FDI attractiveness indices. As a result, improvement is needed in the following areas. First, according to IMD's "World Competitiveness Ranking 2020," Korea was inferior to the US in terms of business efficiency, productivity, finance and business legislation in terms of government efficiency. Second, according to INSEAD's "Global Talent Competitiveness Index 2020," Korea was inferior to the US in terms of internal openness, external openness, employability, lifelong learning, access to growth opportunity, and business and labor landscapes. Third, according to WEF's "Global Competitiveness Index 2019", Korea was inferior to the US in terms of product market, labor market, business dynamism and workforce skills.

For effective ship management in VTS(Vessel Traffic Service), it needs to assess the external force acting on ship. Big data in maritime traffic can be roughly categorized into two groups. One is the traffic information including ship's particulars. The other is the external force information e.g., wind, sea wave, tidal current. This paper proposes the method to assess the external force acting on ship using big data in maritime traffic. To approach Big data in maritime traffic, we propose the Waterway External Force Code(WEF code) which consist of wind, wave, tidal and current information, Speed Over the Water(SOW) of each ship, weather information. As a results, the external force acting a navigating ship is estimated.

The purpose of this study is to contemplate the environmental change of the fourth industrial revolution in viewpoint of SME, and to analyze the relevance between the fourth industrial revolution and SME, thereby reviewing the governmental supporting policy for SME. Promising fields of the fourth industrial revolution can be derived from WEF survey, manufacturing innovation, and new growth engine. Also the case of GE's movement could be a good reference. We explored the relevance between the fourth industrial revolution and SME supporting policy, and described the suitability as SME's next item among the various promising fields. When extracting new business items by using the factor of prospective and appropriate conditions, both types such as product or service and subordinate or derivative items would be possible. For the proper action to the fourth industrial revolution, not only the competence enhancing of SME itself but also positive supporting policy of government side are to be considered.
