This study is to answer the following three questions: (1) What is SPICE? (2) Is it flexible enough to be applied to the small projects such as the ones owned by local companies and government agencies. The standards and models which comprise SPICE (Software Process Improvement and Capability dEtermination) or IS0/IEC 15504 were thoroughly reviewed first Based on the standards, we developed a methodology for the assessment of software processes was developed. Then the methodology is applied for the assessment for three projects in Kwangju area. For this experiment, a university, a district office, and a IT company were selected. Both the development application of the methodology was considered to be successful. As we go through the assessment, we can be convinced that the foundation of the SPICE is very sound. As we stick to the principles of SPICE, the assessment methodology that we developed worked well. The study suggests several implications for the policy making.

This study conducts the horse industry, which shows how country has implemented structural adjustment policies in order to cope with the economic shocks that an FTA brought about. Among the FTAs that Korea has made, Korea-EU and Korea-US FTAs have been regard to bring relatively big impact on korean agricultural sector. The horse industry is a very large and important part of our national and local economies. It is diverse, involving agriculture, business, sport, gaming, entertainment and recreation. The enactment of the 'Horse Industry Promotion Act' can be a turning point for the recovery of the livestock industry. The Act is meaningful in that it can be expand the horse industry as a driving force of rural growth and contribute to people's leisure life. In this context, this study aims to draw policy implications for the Korean government to promote the horse industry.

This study aimed to select and evaluate policy priorities for the expansion of public and semi-public systems for coastwise passenger transport services. For research methodology, the Consistent Fuzzy Preference Relations (CFPR) method was used to effectively extract expert knowledge. First, the result of the analysis on policy tasks for expanding the semi-public system for coastwise passenger transport services showed that "the establishment of public transportation fare system" was the most important task at 0.160. Second, "conversion of the subsidiary routes to a public system by the central government" was ranked next at the importance of 0.136. The factor named "support through proper allocation of budgets between national and local governments" are ranked third (0.119). The results of this study have practical implications in that it proposed the policy priorities for the expansion of the public semi-public systems for coastwise passenger transport services.

Despite the government promoting women's participation in the engineering field, some statistics show that it has yet to be achieved. Potential reasons for this phenomenon include lower level of applications by women, or inherent gender gap in the professional field. Therefore, this study attempted to find impact of gender on college admission from the Lens Model perspective and Signal Detection Theory. This study consisted of three phases: identifying the necessary cues used in the admission process, analyzing existing data, and conducting two experiments to identify the effect of gender on admission decisions. Although the college application consisted of many cues, only five cues, school ranking, GPA, SAT score, resident status, and gender, were used to capture the officers' judgment policies for engineering admissions. Two experiments were conducted to investigate the impact of the gender factor in college admission. The enrollment officers first were presented with the existing data without the gender and asked to make dichotomous judgments. Secondly, the officers were asked to perform the judgment task with the gender cue present. Results showed that the gender did not play an important role in the judgments as expected. However, ideographical analyses on judgment strategies revealed that there were significant differences between the admission officers. Possible training implications are discussed.

This study attempts to provide implications for developing more efficient and effective community-based support system with AIP perspective for the elderly in Korea. The main purpose of this study is to analyze Japan's community-based integrated care system that respond to the concept of aging in place (AIP) and its cases. In Japan, they have offered Community-Based Service since 2005, and the advanced system which include integrated support categories and consolidated community/local resources will started in 2015 by The revision of Long-term Care Insurance policy, 2012. The result of policy analysis and case studies are as follows: 1) The suggestion for ideal support system model promoted a relationship of multiple agents include private sectors even resident and senior and specified responsibility sharing, 2) the system proposed Not only health and medical care support, living care and residence are also addressed as a comprehensive support. and 3) the amount of available community resource is different by each local government, but the effort to get the understanding of community residents and to connect with a potential community resource is also essential aspect to set effective community-based support system.

Strengthening the competitive edge of SMEs has become one of the most important economic issues in Korea as the bipolarization between large firms and SMEs has deepened. Accordingly, small innovative firms (referred as 'venture firms' in Korea) attract keen attention both from policy makers and academia. Also, we can sufficiently observe how the growth environment for venture firms has evolved, since it has been almost ten years after the Korean government started its support policy for venture firms. Considering this, now is the appropriate time to carry out an analysis of venture firms. From this point of view, this study looks at growth factors for venture firms to draw out policy implications. The empirical analysis shows interesting results. Firms with the following features all showed higher growth rates: firms with high R&D intensity, younger firms, bigger firms, firms using more policy loans, and firms located within and around the Seoul region. However, the empirical analysis has some limitations. The data used in the study is limited in terms of firm information and so there are some insufficiencies. Thus it is of great importance to compile the required data on firms to enable further in-depth studies.

This study investigated the reference case in the UK where legality and sustainability were systematically established for forest biomass represented by wood pellets. The UK is the country that best utilizes the trade value of wood pellets based on sustainability, with bioenergy accounting for 31% of total renewable energy production. The UK imported wood pellet, estimated 8,697 thousand tons in 2019. The UK government has continuously improved the renewable generation policy system to ensure the sustainability of wood pellets. The weighted average greenhouse gas emissions of a UK biomass power plant that received a Renewable Obligation Certificate (ROC) in 2018-19 was 26.71 gCO2e/MJ. These power plants are expected to meet the upper limit of 72.2 gCO2e/MJ by 2025. To issue an ROC, the biomass power plant must demonstrate that 70% of its total biofuel usage is sustainable. The UK uses the Sustainable Biomass Program (SBP) certification system, which is gradually expanding to other European countries, to prove the sustainability of biomass energy fuels. Global wood pellet production with SBP certification in 2019 was 10.5 Mt. This trend has significant implications for introducing additional sustainability into the wood pellet policy of South Korea.
