Background: As the government has recently been discussing the expansion of the disaster health expenses support project, we would like to confirm the characteristics of beneficiaries of the support project, particularly those of high-cost beneficiaries. Methods: Using the database of catastrophic health expenditure support project from 2019-2020, this study aims to confirm the characteristics of high-cost beneficiaries focusing on the overlap of the relieved out-of-pocket systems, known as the out-of-pocket ceiling system and the system for rare incurable diseases. Logistic regression analysis is used to examine this issue. Results: In order to analyze the factors influencing high-cost beneficiaries, five models were created and analyzed, including the status of duplicated beneficiaries for relieved out-of-pocket systems, sociodemographic and economic factors, and individual health status as sequential independent variables. All five models were statistically significant, of which economic factors had the greatest impact on the model's predictions. The main results indicated that those who benefited from multiple systems in duplicate were more likely to be high-cost beneficiaries, and there is a higher probability of incurring high health expenses among the underage. In addition, within the beneficiaries of catastrophic health expenditure support project, it was observed that higher health insurance premium percentiles are associated with a higher proportion of high-cost beneficiaries. Conclusion: This study examined the characteristics of high-cost beneficiaries by encompassing reimbursement and non-reimbursement. According to this study, it is expected to be used as basic data for setting priorities and improving the current criteria of catastrophic health expenditure support project, aiming to sequentially expand the program.

United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) introduced the Adaptation Policy Framework (APF) to support the developing countries in order to help to make adaptation policy and strategy to climate change. This study provides the summary of the APF and will help for preparing policy regarding the impact of climate change and its adaptation. APF consists of five basic and two cross-cutting steps. Five basic steps are made of (a) defining project scope and design, (b) assessing current vulnerability and adaptation, (c) assessing future climate-related risks, (d) developing an adaptation strategy, and (e) continuing the adaptation process. Cross-cutting steps consist of engaging stakeholder and enhancing adaptive capacity. The project scope and design process includes four major tasks: scope the project and define its objectives, establish the project team, review and synthesize existing information on vulnerability and adaptation, and design the APF project. The main purpose of assessing current vulnerability and adaptation is to understand the characteristics of current climate-related vulnerability in priority systems and the scope of adaptive responses. Future climate-related risks are assessed in order to characterize future climate-related risks, so that adaptation policies and measures can be designed to reduce the system's exposure to future climate hazard. In developing an adaptation strategy, all of the preceding APF-related work is synthesized into a well-considered strategy that can direct real adaptation action. Continuing the adaptation process is in order to implement and sustain the APF-strategy, polices, and measure. The purpose of involvement of stakeholders is to communicate between individuals and groups about projects. Finally, enhancing adaptive capacity provides guidance on how adaptive capacity can be assessed and enhanced.

This study aims to explore the patterns of various innovation policies pursued by local governments in Korea. We surveyed and analyzed 16 regions at the county level and 7 ministries at the central government. It was found from the analysis that there are 719 policy programs having been enacted including some overlaps among 16 regions. 3,369 billion won in total were spent on the policy programs in 2002, of which 36.7 percent was contributed by the central government, 46.4 percent by local governments and remaining 16.8 percent by private partners who may have benefits from the policy programs. It was discovered that support programs for basic research and applied research activities were rare having small budget size, due to the lack of the importance of R&D activities in regional development and budget constraint of local governments. Technology sharing policies, particularly networks and technology transfer are the most underdeveloped one among types of innovation policies. Based upon the results of our analysis, we recommend that budget allocation, associated with science and technology, to local governments should be increased so that they can expand the support scale of existing program: as well as design new types of innovation policies.

본 연구의 목적은 과학과 기초학력이 부족한 학생들이 공통 교육과정을 이수하는 동안 최소한의 과학 학습 능력을 갖출 수 있도록 기초학력 보장 방안을 마련하는데 있다. 이를 위해, 기초학력 관련 연구 및 지도 경험이 있는 초·중등 과학 교사 27명을 대상으로 설문 조사를 실시하고 합의적 질적 연구방법(Consensual Qualitative Research: CQR)과 계층화 분석법(Analytic Hierarchy Process: AHP)을 활용하여 '최소한의 성취기준'에 대한 현장 과학 교사들의 인식을 살펴보았다. 연구 결과, 초·중등 과학교사들은 과학 학습지원대상 학생들에 대해 과학 학습 역량이 부족하고, 과학 학습 결손이 누적되어 있으며, 기본적인 학습을 위한 준비도가 부족하다고 응답하였다. 그러나 과학과 기초학력 부족학생의 학습 특징에 대해 초·중등 교사들이 주목하는 특징이 다소 상이하게 나타났는데, 중등 교사들은 낮은 학습 동기와 과학적 기호 사용의 어려움에, 초등 교사들은 과학 태도나 경험부족을 더욱 민감하게 인식하고 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 기초학력 보장을 위한 최소한의 성취기준 준거 설정에 대한 우선순위에서도 범주별 항목의 우선순위가 학교급별로 상이함을 발견할 수 있었다. 이는 과학과 기초학력 보장을 위한 최소한의 성취기준 개발 시 고려요소에 대해 과학 교사들의 기초학력 관련 전문성에 따라 다양한 입장 차가 존재하므로, 학교급에 따른 다양한 변인을 고려한 최소한의 성취기준 개발이 필요함을 의미한다. 이상의 연구 결과를 통해 기초학력이 부족한 학생들의 개인별 맥락과 처한 상황의 다양성을 고려한 기초학력 지도 전문성 강화를 위한 정책적 지원이 전교과 영역에서 모색되어야 할 것이다. 나아가 기초학력이 부족한 학생 지원을 위해 공유된 비전을 명확히 하여 기초학력 보장을 위한 국가정책과 과학 교사들의 실행 간의 괴리를 줄이는 노력이 필요하다.

Background: Although phytoremediation is a promising method for pollution control, biomass produced by the remediation process must be managed; otherwise, it will eventually return to the environment and cause secondary pollution. Therefore, research and policy development for the post-remediation management of biomass are both required. Results: While there are many published studies of phytoremediation, research into post-remediation management is very limited. Therefore, a new study using biomass as a co-composting material was conducted and showed positive effects on soil characteristics and plant performance. However, despite its potential, research and policies to promote this form of management are still lacking. Conclusions: We suggest public engagement in support of "Post-phytoremediation management" legislation that stipulates management of biomass after phytoremediation, promotes recycling of biomass with known environmental risks, and includes specific policies developed for managers. Further research to support and inform such policies and laws is also required.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to present policy implications by analyzing the residential environment in North Korea under the Kim Jong-un regime. Research design, data, and methodology: Residential environment analysis was reviewed by dividing it into physical, socio-cultural, economic, environmental, and policy aspects. Results: Pyongyang are considerably superior due to it being the residence of the country's leadership and middle class. Secondly, there is a concerning problem with the provision of substandard housing. Construction materials are in short supply, and unreasonable timelines often lead to uninhabitable houses, signaling a need for assistance in housing construction. Thirdly, there is a severe lack of essential residential infrastructure, such as reliable electricity and clean water supply, which significantly impacts the quality of life. Lastly, due to the country's economic hardships, basic housing rights are not guaranteed, leading to deplorable living conditions for many North Koreans. The report suggests that these issues should be addressed through international aid to guarantee the basic human rights of North Koreans. Conclusions: In North Korea, the poor living environment deteriorates the health and quality of life of citizens and adversely affects social and economic development. Therefore, international support and cooperation to improve the living environment of North Koreans is important.

Purpose - Domestic cooperatives tend to increase during the establishment of cooperatives and gradually through the basic law of social needs. However, only cooperatives' qualitative grow this secured without blessings, and their quantitative growth through government support is questionable. The purpose of this study is to analyze the agricultural cooperatives established through the Distribution System Cooperatives Basic Law, which was enacted in January 2012. Subsequently, establishing agricultural cooperatives was done briskly. However, cooperatives established rapidly after the founding of the Basic Law encountered problems. Research design, data, and methodology - To assess the performance of selected agricultural cooperatives, data were analyzed using the methodological Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) approach. The AHP is a set of systematic procedures to hierarchically analyze the elements of any problem. Using a survey on expertise, a series of comparative determinations of each pair is performed to evaluate the relative strengths and the strengths of the impact between elements within the hierarchy. A survey was conducted on 10 small agricultural cooperatives using AHP analysis for the examination. The purpose of such research and analysis is to recommend a direction for future policies aimed at small agricultural cooperatives. Result - This study applied three types of policy evaluation criterion, including market expansions, organizations, and cooperative projects, and 12 types of small agricultural cooperative policy measures. Market expansion policies for agricultural cooperatives are classified into four categories: school meals, direct transactions, shopping malls, and wholesale markets. Organizational policies for agricultural cooperatives are classified into four types: existing sales channel management, education, preventing free riding, and enlarging members. Cooperative project policies in agricultural cooperatives are classified into four policy areas: cooperation between cooperatives, community contribution, joint businesses, and government links. In this paper, the growth priority in agricultural cooperative policies is analyzed by applying policy evaluation criteria on the basis of a survey on expertise. The priorities of the policy program are also analyzed using a decision analytic hierarchy process. The results indicate that market expansion is the most important policy evaluation criterion therefore, improving direct transactions, school meals, management of existing sales channels, and shopping malls are crucial policy measures. In contrast, the cooperation of cooperatives, expansion of union members, and cooperation with the government were found to have low priority. Conclusions - Agricultural cooperatives should develop plans as follows. Small agricultural cooperatives need to secure school meals and direct transactions for market expansion, restructure marketing strategies to manage existing sales channels, and, finally, increase education and training for sustainable organizational development. This study has the following limitations. Because the subject of the investigation is a new cooperative, determining its sustainable growth is difficult. Therefore, through analysis and a continuous study of cooperatives, future research is expected to show that modifying the direction of agriculture cooperatives is necessary.
