현재 도로의 공사뿐만 아니라 각종 공사 현장으로 인하여 자동차의 소통에 위험한 영향을 초래하고 있다. 나아가 공사지역의 주민과 통행자들에게까지 막대한 영향을 미치며 안전조치의 미흡으로 대형 사고를 야기할 가능성도 높다. 이러한 문제의 대안으로 선진국에서는 '교통유도경비'가 시행되고 있으며 특히, 일본의 경우 '교통유도경비' 제도의 시행 이후 교통사고 사망자 수가 크게 감소한 것으로, 교통유도경비가 상당한 역할을 한 것으로 분석되고 있다. 현재 우리나라의 경우 교통유도경비 제도가 시행되고 있지 않으며, 일부 건설 공사장에서 한정적으로 시행되고 있으나 대부분 전문성이 결여된 상태에서 임시적, 임의적으로 이루어지고 있는 상태이다. 우리나라에서 교통유도경비 제도의 도입으로 인하여 교통안전과 교통정체 등 안전문화를 한 단계 앞당길 수 있는 계기로 활용될 수 있을 것이다. 따라서 본 연구는 시민들의 요구에 기초하여 선진사례를 분석하고 현행 우리의 제도의 비교분석 한 후, 합리적인 교통유도경비 제도의 도입에 대한 대안을 마련하는데 목적이 있다. 본 연구를 통해 도출된 우리나라에서 교통유도경비의 도입방안을 제시하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 교통유도경비 업무를 국내에 정착시키기 위해서는 경비업무의 종류에 교통유도경비 업무를 추가하는 등 교통유도업무의 법적 검토가 이루어져야 할 것이다. 둘째, 교통유도경비는 교통안전의 증진에 기여할 수 있는 제도로서 사회적 비용의 내부화에 기여할 수 있기 때문에 전문성과 안전지식, 표준화된 교통안전지도가 필요한 교육과 이를 위한 교육 시스템과 커리큘럼, 교재의 제작 등 자격신설을 갖추어야 할 것이다. 셋째, 교통유도경비원의 교육은 구체적인 교육과목을 갖추어 이론교육과 기능교육(실기)으로 구분하여 실시해야 할 것이다. 넷째, 시행방안을 위해서는 교재개발, 실기교육 내용 확정과 전문강사 양성, 운전학원 등 실기교육 공간의 확보가 필요하다. 나아가 교통유도경비 전반에 걸쳐 체계적인 발전을 위한 표준화 노력이 중요하며, 경비업계, 학계, 관련전문가, 관련 연구기관 등 각계의 참여 아래 표준화를 위한 지속적인 협의와 합의 도출이 요청된다. 다섯째, 교통유도경비는 일자리 창출 규모가 크며, 사회적인 파급력이 상당히 크기 때문에 향후 추진사항으로는 다양한 관계기관과의 네트워크 구축이 필요하다.

최근 문재인 정부는 중소벤처가 주도하는 창업과 혁신성장 전략의 일환으로 중소기업청을 중소벤처기업부로 확대 신설하였다. 경기둔화 상황에서는 작지만 우수한 내부역량을 보유한 벤처기업이 성장에 유리한 것으로 나타나고 있어 기술개발 자금 부족에 대한 정부 지원자금의 중요성은 커지고 있다. 기존 연구에서는 기업 스스로 노력으로 경쟁력 강화가 가능한 내부역량 요인과 산업환경에서 중요한 요인인 성장단계가 경영성과에 미치는 영향구조에 집중한다. 그러나 연구모델 관점에서 벤처기업 정부 지원자금의 활용이 내부역량 및 기업 성장단계에서 어떠한 경영성과를 미치는지를 살펴보는 선행연구는 부족한 현실이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 벤처기업의 내부역량과 기업 성장단계가 경영성과에 직접적인 효과성이 있는지 여부에서 나아가, 이들 영향구조 하에서 정부 지원자금 활용과 연계한 조절효과를 분석하였다. 연구의 분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 벤처기업의 내부역량 요인 중 연구개발(R&D) 인력 비율이 타 벤처기업보다 상대적으로 낮은 벤처기업, 자사브랜드 미보유 벤처기업, 그리고 종업원이 증가한 벤처기업에서 정부 지원자금 활용에 대한 조절효과가 통계적으로 유의미한 양(+)의 관계를 보였다. 둘째, 벤처기업의 성장단계 중 고도성장 단계에서 정부 지원자금 활용에 대한 조절효과가 통계적으로 유의미한 양(+)의 관계를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 벤처기업 내부역량 요인과 성장단계에 대한 정부 지원자금 정책의 조절효과를 확인한 바, 향후 벤처기업의 정부 지원자금에 대한 정책방향 수립 시 경영성과 및 산업경쟁력 제고 관점에서 연구결과 활용에 의의가 있다. 또한 R&D 인력 지원을 포함한 더 큰 범위에서의 일자리 창출과 연계된 인력정책의 필요성과 고도성장 단계에 있는 벤처기업의 정부 지원자금에 대한 효과성 연구가 벤처정책의 수립하는데 의미가 있을 것으로 기대된다.

To investigate the actual condition of the adult-smoking in Chinan County. I used self-reporting questionnaires among 923 residents living in nine districts selected at random among the sites of eleven eup-myons from December 28. 1998 to January 6. 1999. collected data and analyized using SPSS. The smoking rate of adults in Chinan County was $36.9\%$. There was a significant difference in smoking rate according to the age. gender, education and job among general characteristics. The smoking rate in group of above 40s was about $40\%$ and that of the male took $55.5\%$ which was higher than that of female and the smoking rate of the people having high-school education was the highest$(46.2\%)$. With regard to the career. the smoking rate of the farmers ranked first$(46.1\%)$. Therefore anti-smoking business for smokers should be focused on above 40 years old, males. people having high school education and farmers. As the result of the survey of smoking habits of 340 people who smoke currently, the average smoking begining age was 21.8 and $81.5\%$ among them was between 16-25 years old. $4.4\%$ was under 15. during around the elementary school. Most motives to smoke were as followed; curiosity or taste$(33.6\%)$, relief of stress $(31.2\%)$, peer presure$(26.5\%)$ And considering the amount of the cigarette which is smoked per day, the case which is less than a pack of cigarettes was highest as $75.5\%$ and the people who smoke over one pack of cigarettes took $24.5\%$. As for the kind of tobacco which is smoked, how to smoke and the desire for the smoking, most case was toxin was moderate$(47.8\%)$ or mild$(46.9\%)$. shallowly$(49.0\%)$ or deeply$(46.3\%)$ and under stress$(33.4\%)$. after meals$(27.8\%)$, during drink$(15.7\%)$ and so on. The highest point marked among the factors of smoking motives was 'the reduce of negative emotion' $(3.27\pm1.00)$. followed by 'uncomfortable habits' $(2.87\pm1.02)$, 'addiction' $(2.84\pm1.06)$. 'habit' $(2.74\pm1.12)$. 'pleasure' $(2.70\pm1.04)$. 'stimulus' $(2.59\pm.90)$, 'sensation-exercise satisfaction' $(2.42\pm.97)$. Smokers smoke to reduce the negative emotions when angry in most common case. depressed. anxious. uncomfortable. lone. ashamed or embarrased. and intend to solve the certain problem. etc. Other motives are uncomfortable habit. addiction. habit. pleasure and the pursuit of stimulus. The level of nicotine dependence of adults m Chinan County was 10.57 which amount to 'high' wholly. As the resulf of the level of nicotine dependence score. the people who are low in the level of nicotine was $33.5\%$. the people who are high was $48.2\%$. very high was $18.4\%$. The approach for anti-smoking for smokers should be conducted differently according to the level of the nicotine. For the people who are in low level of nicotin dependence the prohibition of the smoking should be guided through the approach to foster strong will. for those who are in 'high' by acquiring proper method for the prohibition of smoking. and for those who are 'very high' the anti-smoking should be induced by providing proper program because of the possibility of the suffer from abstinence syndrome. The difference of the level of nicotine with the general characteristics of the objects had not statistically significant difference. The difference of the level of nicotine dependence accompanied by smoking habit had statistically significant difference according to the amount of smoke, the kind of tobacos. smoke inhale habit. In other words, the group of heavy smokers had higher level of the nicotine dependence than that of the light smokers relatively and the group which smoke strong taboaco has higher level of nicotine than that of which smoke mild or moderate. And the group of smokers who smoke deeply has higher level of nicotine than that who smoke shallowly or nonswallow. Aa a result of the analysis of the correlation between smoking motive factors and the level of nicotine, there was the indication that people who smoke for the decrease of the negative emotion. habit, pleasure. stimulus. sensation-exercise satisfaction had high level of the nicotine dependence. As the result of the anti-smoking will of smokers. $65.0\%$ of them had prohibition of smoking will. $29.3\%$ had no will to quit smoke. The most important reason for anti-smoking was health. $67.9\%$ had experience to try to quit smoke and the biggest reason to fail to quit smoking was the lack of the will power to keep anti-smoking. $52.8\%$ of them were advised to stop smoking from their spouses or children. only $2.8\%$ were by medical. The people who have the opinion to need anti-smoking education were $69.6\%$. Therefore when the business for the hygine of the mouth for adult is set. it should be centered on the people who have intention of prohibition of the smoking and help to quit smoking by way of other affirmative counter-program not smoking under stress.

The purposes of this study are to delineate a profile of the state of a stroke patient's adaptation at 3 months after hospitalization and to explore the relationship between the level of adaptation and the variables which influence the adaptation of hemiplegic patients. To these ends, theoretical framework was derived basically from the stress adaptation model. The basic assumption underlying the level of adaptation is influenced by the presenting focal, contextual and residual stimuli. This group of stimuli is further operationalized and represented by a perception of stress. which is the perceived effect of the disability and by the mediating variables such as sociodemographic factors as an external conditioning variables and perceived social support and hardiness personality characteristics as an internal intervening variables. The dependent varibales in this study is the level of physical, psychological and social adaptation and is hypothesized to be a function of the interaction between 3 sets of variables namely, the perceived disability effect, external conditioning variables and internal intevening varibles. A total of fourty three subjects from 3 general hospitals in Seoul were observed and interviewed with the aid of 7 structured instruments. The data were collected twice on each subject : first at the pre-discharge period arid at 3 months post-discharge from hospital for the second time. The study was carried out for the period from February to August, 1988. The instruments used for the study include 4 existing scales and 3 scales developed by the researcher for this study. They are : 1) The ADL dependency scale and the scale of the clinical physical functions for the assessment of physical adaptation. 2) the SDS(self report of depression) to measure the level of psychological adaptation. 3) The scale for the amount of social activities for the measurement of the level of social adaptation. 4) The scale for the perceived effect of disability for the measurement of the focal stimuli. 5) The health related hardiness scale and the perceived interpersonal support self evaluation list(ISEL) for the measurement of the hardiness personality character and the perceived social support. The data obtained were analyzed using percentage, oneway ANOVA, Pearson coefficients correlation and stepwise multiple regression. The findings provide valuable information about the present level of physical adaptation at 3 months after discharge. The patient revealed a decreased ADL dependency and lowered limitation of physical function as compared with pre - discharge state. Psycholcgically, the average degree of depression at follow up was within normal range of depression. Socially, the amount of social activities was very low. The one way ANOVA and the correlational analysis revealed the relationship between the 3 sets of variables and the adaptation level as follows : 1) The perceived disability effect was related to the degree of the depression and the amount of social activities but was not related to the physical adaptation. 2) Among the sociodemographic variables, sex and education were related to the difference of ADL dependency and the change of physical function. These factors indicate that women more than men and educated more than the less educated were found more independent. The education was also related to the degree of depression suggesting that the higher the educational level, the more well adapted the patients were both physically and psychologically. Age, marital status and job state were not found to be related to the patient's adaptation level. 3) Among the internal intervening variables, the health related hardiness characteristic was related to the differences of ADL dependency, physical functions and the social activities, indicating that the higher the hardiness character the higher the level of physical and social adaptation. 4) The perceived social support, another internal intervening variable, was related to the degree of depression and the social activities. This data suggest that the higher the perception of social support, the better adapted the patients were psychogically and socially. In summarizing the results of the correlational analysis, the level of physical adaptation was influenced by sex, the years of education and the hardiness character. The level of psychological adaptation was influenced by the years of education, the perceived disability effect and the perceived social support. And the level of social adaptation was influenced by the perceived disability effect, the hardiness character and the perceived social support. The stepwise multiple regression analysis shows findings as follows : 1) The most important factor to explain the difference of ADL dependency was sex, indicating females were more independent than males. 2) The most important factor to explain the difference of physical function and the degree of depression was the patient's education level. 3) The strongest explaining factor for the amount of social activities was perceived self esteem(one of the subconcepts of perceived social support). Thus the most important factors influencing the level of adaptation were found to be sex, education, the hardiness character and self esteem. From the above findings, the significance of this study can be delineated as follows : 1) Corroboration of the assumed relationship between the various variables and the adaptation level as suggested in the conceptual model. 2) Support for the feasibility of the cognitive approach for nursing intervention such as hardness character training, counselling and teaching for self-care in the chronic patients.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the sanitation affairs of general restaurants. The questionnaire survey on the attitude and knowledge toward sanitation, the attitude for sanitary administration and the sanitary education was conducted against new 600 restaurateurs who were educated from June 20 to July 11, 1996, at the administration hall's division of Kyungsangbook-do in charge of food industry that offered regular sanitary education to new restaurateurs annually. And the visit survey on sanitary practice was also conducted over 93 restaurateurs who obtained the commercial license for food service business. The findings from the survey were as follows; In regard to food sanitation, some 87.1 to 88.3% got the right knowledge about the reason and precaution of food poisoning, food's frozen or cold-storage, and the disposal of products after expiration of validity term. But it was about 20.8% to 50.0% who knew right about major precaution, storage temperature in refrigerator, fermented milk product's storage temperature and validity term. There was therefore a necessity for education in food sanitation. 38.2% of the subjects placed an emphasis on sanitary storage of foodstuffs as the most important thing in sanitary management. 33.8% emphasized cooking sanitation. The environmental sanitation was counted as the most important thing by 19.2%, and personal sanitation of worker was counted by 8.8%. There was differences in what they thought the most important thing was, according to the respondent's educational level and cooker. 86.6% replied it necessary to improve the sanitary level. The respondents who were younger or had better educational level emphasized more the need for it. Concerning health examination, 90.2% replied it necessary. 81.4% answered the reason was because there was a potentiality Quests might be infected with contagious disease. 78.5% pointed the need for sanitary education, but respondents with higher educational level less emphasized its needs. As the reason for poor sanitation, restaurateur's poor awareness about it was most frequently pointed out, by 46.9%. Cooking sanitation was most frequently counted, by 38.5%, as the first thing to be improved. As the most critical point in sanitary education, 34.5% indicated food's sanitary Quality control 30.9% mentioned sanitary treatment of kitchen facilities and peripheral environment, and 27.1% emphasized the summary of the general food sanitation. 77.7% answered to correct immediately in case of violating the Food Hygiene Law, and 12.0% replied to correct in the same case if they would get the order from public official or administrative action would be taken. Respondents with higher educational level answered more to correct immediately. What they wanted the government office to do toward sanitary improvement was a fund aid an facilities and management which was pointed out by 38.9%, a periodical sanitary education by 26.3% and a on-the-spot guidance of sanitary officials by 22.3%. In view of the food service business's sanitary practice, the rate of wearing a sanitary clothes was 32.9% in city and 35.0% in county. The rate of hand-washing without soap or non-washing at cooking was 73.9%, 85%, respectively. The rate of personnel sanitation was 34.2% in city and 50.0% in county. These things indicated the sanitation was not well practiced. To improve the poor sanitary conditions of the food service businesses, it is recommended to offer institutional backing and financial aid from administrative office, and encourage restaurateurs to take pride in their job. and conduct the sanitary education effectively by sanitary education institution.

This study is first aimed at identifying the possibility of labour saving and production cost decreasing in rice production with respect to seed broad casting technology. Comparison of labour inputs and production costs of rice in-between USA and Korea and recommendation of policy guidelines for the continous rice cultivation are the second objective of this study. Under the WTO system, rice enterprice is the most vulnerable crop in the sense of labour productivity and price competitiveness in the international market. How to adapt labour saving technology and how to decrease production costs are the most imminent problems to be solved in rice production. To achieve the objectives, survey on nine rice enterprice farms were made in Daeho tidal farmland with respect to the size of farm, labour inputs, productivity, farm mechanization and farm land base development. The existing data on labour saving technology by seed broadcasting which had surveyed by Rural Development Administration were collected to compare the surveyed data from Daeho tidal farm land The study results and policy recommendation are summarized as follows; 1. Labour requirements per 10a for rice enterprise farms with seed broadcasting and with transplanting were estimated 11.4 and 18.5hours respectively. 'This above labour inputs were equivalent to 1/3-1/5 of the national average labour inputs of 53.6 hours which were included transplanting and harvesting by machinery. Considering the labour requirement of 1.7 hours per 10a for the USA rice production, Korea rice culture has possibility to decrease labour demand upto USA level of labour inputs. 2. Production cost of rice in Korea were estimated US$4,181 per ha which were higher than that of USA by 3.00 times and production costs per ton were shown as US$313 for USA rice and US$1,018 for Korean rice. 3. Land productivity of rice per 10a in America was reached to 4,325kg and the counterpart of Korea was about 4,181kg in recent year. In the sense of land productivity, both yields of rice were comparable. 4. The price of japonica type rice similar to Korean traditional rice in international market in 1994 was f.o.b US$466 per ton which was equivalent to import parity price of US$830 per ton in domestic market. The price of rice purchased by Korean G't and received by farmers were amounted to US$ 2,013 and US$ 1,663 respectively in the same year. Domestic prices mentioned above were higher than the import parity price as US$830 by 2.0-2.4 times. 5. American rice production competitive to Korean rice was equivalent to 17,012 thousand tons, 1.28% of the world production of rice in 1991 and consumption of rice in America was amounted to 2,633 thousand tons. Exportable quantity of USA rice were estimated as 4,379 thousand tons of which 52.3%, 2,300 thousand tons, were exported indeed in the same year. 6. The quantity of Korean rice produced in 1991 was estimated 1.00% of the world production. The world amount of rice exported in 1991 was reached to 2.45% of the world production of which 34.2% was occupied by USA The remaining quantities of world exported rice were dominated by Tiland, Pakistan and Vietnam where produced indica variety. 7. Under the given technology, labour inputs per 10a for rice production could be possible to save by 70% of the national average labour requirement of 53.6 hours through implmenting complete farm mechanization with land consolidation and on-farm development and improvement of fanning practices like seedbroad casting txchnology etc. On the other hand, prduction costs of rice could be decreased by 10% rather than 49% as target indicated in the Rural Development Counter Measures of Korean Government in 1994 owing to increasing farm mechanization cost and interest on land service with high price. Accordingly production cost of rice per kg could be decreased only by 10% of the 1994 production cost. 8. Rice policy of Korean government in the future should take into account the labour saving technology to solve labour shortage in rural area and to enhance off-farm incomes by creating job opportunities in agro-industrial zones and special production area. On account of the staple food and main energy source for people's health, rice production even encountered vulnerable economic settings should be continued without price distortion policies and discouraging farmer's intention to cultivate rice by importing institutionally the direct income subsidy system.

현대 자본주의 사회가 대량생산체제에서 유연적 전문화 생산체제로 질적인 변화를 겪고 있다는 주장이 사회과학계를 풍미하고 있다. 이 글의 목적은 이러한 柔軟化論者들의 주장을 개관하고 그 문제점을 살피는 데 있다. 유연적 전문화 논의는 개념 자체가 지극히 관념적이고, 상대적일 뿐만 아니라 학자들 간에 용어사용에 대한 의견일치가 이루어지지 안하아 현재 혼란의 와중에 있다. 유연적 생산체제로의 移行은 二分論的인 설명방식의 사용으로 과장된 측면이 많은데, 실제는 선진 자본주의 국가에 있어서도 매우 부분적으로만 진행되고 있는 상태이다. 한국의 경제와 국토공간은 대규모 기업집단과 그들의 중층적 하청조직에 의해 그 골격이 형성되어 있는 관계로 柔軟化論의 한국에의 적용은 많은 注意를 요한다. 현재의 혼란으로부터 벗어나기 위해 가장 우선적으로 해결해야 할 문제점은 용어의 적용대상 및 적용범위를 통일하는 일이다.

평균수명의 증가 및 출산율의 저하와 함께 수반되는 급격한 인구고령화는 단기간에 우리나라의 경제 사회 문화 전 분야에 걸쳐 중대한 변화를 야기하고 있다. 단순히 노인의 비율이 늘어나는 것뿐만 아니라 평균수명이 계속해서 증가하여 많은 국민들이 장기간의 노후생활을 영위해야 하는 상황이다. 이와 같은 배경에서 노인들이 인간으로서의 존엄과 가치를 유지하면서 품위 있게 인생을 마무리할 수 있도록 노인복지 관련법제의 역할과 기능이 특별히 강조될 수밖에 없으며, 사회보험 및 공공부조와 기능적 연계성을 토대로 사회복지서비스를 목적으로 하는 노인복지법의 역할도 점차 중요해지고 있다. 노인복지법은 노인을 위한 사회복지서비스의 내용을 제시하고 있는데, 그중에서도 소득보장, 보건의료서비스, 요양 및 주거복지를 중심으로 하는 복지조치 그리고 일자리 등 사회참여지원 등을 핵심요소로 하며, 그와 같은 복지서비스의 유기적 결합을 통하여 노인이 살아가는데 적합한 생활조건을 실현할 수 있게 된다. 이를 위하여 노인복지법은 기초노령연금법과 노인장기요양보험법 등 관련법제와 밀접한 규범적 네트워크를 형성하면서 효율적인 노인복지시스템을 구축하게 된다. 그러나 우리 현행 노인복지법 및 관련법제는 21세기의 고령사회, 장수사회를 대비하는데 여전히 미흡하다고 하지 않을 수 없다. 노후소득보장과 다양하고 수준 높은 노인의 사회참여의 결합, 보건 의료와 요양의 효율적 연계 및 국가 또는 지방자치단체의 비용부담수준, 복지조치의 효과성 제고를 통한 품위 있고 존중받는 노인복지의 실현을 위해 더 많은 노인들을 포괄할 수 있는 다양하고 구체적인 개선방안이 마련되어야 할 것이다.
