The main objective of the present study is to find out which factors affect coresidence between older Korean parents and their adult children and to examine the regional patterns of the phenomenon. The 1980, 1995 and 2005 Korea census data are used to investigate the determinants of two types of parent-child coresidence. The two types are coresidence with married adult children and one with unmarried adult children. The study takes advantage of the multilevel mltinomial logit model, allowing the model to capture regional differences. Findings from the study are: (1) Korean parents' coresidence with their married adult children and one with their unmarried adult children are distinctive in their determinants; (2) variables related to wealth or economic status are positively related with possibilities of both types of coresidence; and (3) considerable regional differences in the possibility of coresidence do exist among regions in Korea.

Typically, it should be use auxiliary variable for calibrating the survey nonreponse in census or sampling survey. Where, if the dimension of auxiliary information is large, then it nay be spend a lot of computing time, and difficult to handle data set. Also because the variance estimator depends on the dimension of auxiliary variables, the variance estimator becomes underestimator. To deal with this problem, we propose the variable selection methods for calibration estimation procedure in unit nonreponse situation and we compare the efficiency by simulation study.

We propose a new sampling design for the 2001 Health Index Survey at Seoul. In this stratified two-stage sampling design, the ED(enumeration district) of 2000 Population and Housing Census is used as primary sampling unit and the Gu is used as stratification variable in order to obtain the sub-domain estimate for 25 Gu's as well as population estimate for Seoul. The sample ED's are systematically selected after the Ed's are ordered by location and property to obtain a representative sample. And also, the imputation methods for item nonresponses are suggested.

Recently. together with consumers' increasing concerns on food safety and environmental issues. there is increasing demand on the environmentally friendly agricultural products such as organic products. At present, Japan. as a biggest net importing country of the agricultural products. is a market of the international-scale in the organic product marketing. Also. it is expected that the possibility of market expansion in the future is very high. According to the 2000 agricultural census in Japan. the number of the environment-friendly agricultural farmers were 501.556 householders. This number is about 145 percent higher than that of the 1996 results of 204,600 householders. Organic products in Japan were mainly marketed through the producer and consumer cooperation, producers' cooperation, specialized marketing company etc. However, along with the department store, big supermarket and others' participation in the market recently, the marketing channels are diversified. As of October 1999, market sales of the organic products were estimated about 350 billion yen. It is expected that organic certification system, organic products import, resturant industry scale and others will be more influential factors on the market expansion of the organic products in the future.

Objective : To investigate the relationships of occupational class, educational level and deprivation with mortality in Korea Methods : This study used existing South Korean national data on occupation, educational level, and deprivation and death. Mortality was investigated using registered death data from 1993 to 1997 obtained from the Korean National Statistics Office (NSO) with denominators drawn from the 1995 Census. Statistical analysis consisted of poisson regression modeling and multilevel analysis. Results : The lower occupational class (manual workers) group had a higher mortality rate than the higher occupational class (non-manual workers) group Educational level, and deprivation were both inversely related withand mortality. Occupation was strongly associated with education. Area-based deprivation indicators and individual indices for social class made an independent contribution to the mortality risk. Conclusions : The findings of this study suggests that the relationships of occupational class, educational level and deprivation with mortality appears to be stronger in Korea than in European countries.

In order for handicapped people to maintain better humane life, it is necessary to get statistics of them in developing appropriate national policy. However, it is very difficult to obtain baseline statistics on regular or occasional basis. It's reason is mainly attributed to attitudes of their family's tendency to conceal any existence of such memeber in the household. As a result, the statis-tics on the handicapped population is very inaccurate and under satisfaction. We must produce such statistics periodically in time and with accuracy. Thus, this study porposes five methods which, we believe, can produce reliable statistics of thehandcapped population : 1) vitalization through enforcement of handicapped information into the registration system, 2) inclusion in population census of items related to handicapped information, 3) improvement of the physically handicapped population survey scheme, 4) utilization of hospital patients' records for development of the statistics, and 5) an estimation through the labor force survey.

One of the main objectives of this paper is to provide insight to understand the effect of natural disasters on local government finance. That is, to analyze local governments' sales tax revenues after Hurricane Ike. Three Texas cities are examined: League City, Pearland, and Sugarland. Based on data collected from the Texas Comptroller's Office and the US Census, we found local governments experience a short-term increase in sales tax revenues and a long-term decline after the hurricane strike the region. On average, a major hurricane has a two-year impact on local government economy. The findings are essential for practitioners because in order to have a prosperous recovery after natural disasters, public managers have to prepare financially for short term changes in their sales tax revenues.

This paper aims to analyze the changes in the structure of households with the eldery in Seoul and Taegu by time trands, using census data. The conclusions are as follows: The rate of the Single and Couple and Couple+Parent(s) Households with the eldery have been increasing. The rate of 3,4 generation households with the eldery has been decreasing. The trend towards single and Couple Households in Taegu was higher than that in Seoul. The result this paper is opposite to common knowledge that in general the speed of change in the large city is higher than that of in country town. And it is coincide with the results of the former papers of the writer.

The purpose of this explanatory study was to provide baseline information on the secondary prevention health behavior of cervical cancer in Korea which was related to the utilization of the Papanicolaou (Pap) smear screening test. The secondary data from the 1992 Korean Health Behavior Survey was used for analysis in order to determine sociodemographic profiles and the predictor variables. The sample analyzed for this study contained 1,489 Korean women residing in Korea aged 20-59 selected by multi-stage sampling method from the 1990 Korean census. Univariate, bivariate, and logistic regression analysis were performed to produce the findings of this study. Only 27.9% of the study sample had had a Pap test in 1992. It was found that the relative sociodemographic profiles of the Pap test between users and non-users were distinctive. The predictors variables were age, marital status, educational status, usual source of care, perceived household economic status, health check-up, and presence of chronic diseases

OpenCV(Open Computer Vision)에서 제공하는 얼굴 검출 알고리즘은 Haar-like feature와 Cascade 방식을 이용하여 얼굴의 패턴을 찾아내 얼굴을 검출한다. 그러나 우연히 얼굴이 아닌 곳이 얼굴과 유사한 패턴일 경우, 얼굴로 인식하는 오류를 범하게 된다. 따라서 본 논문은 MCT(Modified Census Transform)와 신경망을 이용하여 잘못된 얼굴 검출 영역을 감소시키는 알고리즘을 제안한다. MCT는 다양한 조명 조건에서도 강인한 얼굴 영상의 지역적 구조 특징을 추출하기 위하여 사용되고, 신경망 알고리즘은 Haar-Cascade 알고리즘의 얼굴 검출 방법으로 검출된 영역이 실제로 얼굴인지 아닌지를 판단하기 위하여 사용된다. 실험에서 사용된 6개의 데이터들은 인터넷에서 수집한 것으로서, Haar-Cascade 알고리즘의 얼굴 검출 방법으로 얼굴을 검출하였을 때 오검출된 영역이 1개 이상 존재한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘으로 실험한 결과, Haar-Cascade 알고리즘의 얼굴 검출 방법에 비하여 오검출된 영역이 감소된 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
