Global warming-induced drought inflicts significant socio-economic and environmental damage. In Korea, the persistent drought in the southern region since 2022 has severely affected water supplies, agriculture, forests, and ecosystems due to uneven precipitation distribution. To effectively prepare for and mitigate such impacts, it is imperative to develop proactive measures supported by early monitoring systems. In this study, we analyzed the spatiotemporal changes of multiple evapotranspiration-based drought indices, focusing on the flash drought event in the southern region in 2022. The indices included the Evaporative Demand Drought Index (EDDI), Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) considering precipitation and temperature, and the Evaporative Stress Index (ESI) based on satellite images. The Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and SPEI indices utilized temperature and precipitation data from meteorological observation stations, while the ESI index was based on satellite image data provided by the MODIS sensor on the Terra satellite. Additionally, we utilized the Evaporative Demand Drought Index (EDDI) provided by the North Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) as a supplementary index to ESI, enabling us to perform more effective drought monitoring. We compared the degree and extent of drought in the southern region through four drought indices, and analyzed the causes and effects of drought from various perspectives. Findings indicate that the ESI is more sensitive in detecting the timing and scope of drought, aligning closely with observed drought trends.

파편화와 같은 인위적 교란은 산림생태계의 지속성에 영향을 미치므로, 산림의 양적인 분포뿐만 아니라 구조적인 패턴을 분석하는 것은 산림생태계를 관리하는 기본적인 과정이라 할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 산림생태계의 건전성 평가 및 관리계획 수립을 위한 기초정보를 제공하기 위해 경관지수와 GIS 기법을 활용하여 낙동강 유역에 분포하는 산림구조를 정량적으로 분석하였다. 분석에 필요한 공간정보는 환경부에서 발행한 토지피복분류도를 이용하여 구축하였으며, 경관지수 상호간 정보의 중복을 배제하기 위하여 Pearson 상관분석을 통해 6개의 지수(LPI, PD, ED, MSI, CPLAND, IJI)를 선정하였다. 경관지수를 이용한 산림경관의 구조적 패턴을 분석한 결과, 낙동강 본류에 분포하는 유역들에서 파편화 정도가 다른 유역에 비해 상대적으로 높게 나타났다. 특히 낙동상주 유역과 낙동밀양 유역은 산림의 양적인 측면뿐만 아니라 구조적으로도 불안정한 상황을 보이는 것으로 나타났는데, 이들 유역에 대해서는 지역의 환경조건에 부합하는 산림복원 등의 생태적 관리를 위해 현장검증 및 영향인자에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

This study attempts to develop an interim evaluation system for the Integrated Rural Village Cluster Development Project(IRVCDP) which can secure its identity and sustainability, and induce its early settlement, and to derive plans for its steady progress. The evaluation system consists of three levels. The highest-order level is evaluation purposes, which describe IRVCDP's goals. They are expansion of income bases(EIB), improvement of living environments(ILE), strengthening of regional capabilities(SRC) and constructing effective project operation system(CEPOS). The second level is evaluation items, which each characterize the relevant evaluation purposes. The last level is evaluation indices, which observe achievement f3r evaluation purposes. 22 evaluation indices are selected to satisfy the purposes of this study through a brainstorming process and a survey on opinions of experts for those evaluation purposes and evaluation items which are derived from analyzing the IRVCDP's properties. The relative importance of the evaluation indices selected are determined through the AHP analysis. The most intriguing result from the AHP analysis is that strengthening of regional capabilities is found to be the most important one among evaluation purposes. It can be said that this result is parallel to a ultimate goal of the IRVCDP.

Emergy is a measure of the processes required to produce something expressed in units of the same energy form. Emergy based indices can provide insights into the thermodynamic efficiency of the process, the quality of its output, and the interaction between the process and its surrounding environment. However, in an industrial system, the inputs are mostly nonrenewable, renewable energy source is nearly zero, ultimate purpose is pursuit of profits in economic activity. In study, we present two indices based on emergy - EEE(Ecological Economic Efficiency) and ERI(Environmental Responsibility Index). The EEE is taken into account real value of product in market economy. The ERI is shown to be a function of the net yield of the economy, its ‘load’ on the environment and ecological economic efficiency. Manufacturing industry of Korea produced the 30% of total GDP in 2001. We applied these indices to manufacturing industry for environmental management and further sustainable industry. As a results, the highest ERI is 0.34 in recycling industries, the lowest ERI is 0.01 in coke, refined petroleum products which is dominated by ELR. The higher ERI, the more friendly to environment. The suggested indices help us understand relative contributions of various alternatives in company's production and consumption activity, and provide a tool of decision-making for the rearrangement of future industries. Furthermore, they contribute to environmental friendly operation and consumption.

전자저널을 비롯한 전자출판물의 확산으로 최근 학술커뮤니케이션은 새로운 국면을 맞고 있다. 이 연구는 전자저널이 학술커뮤니케이션에 어느정도 영향을 미치고 있는지를 인용분석에 기초한 영향력 측정 지표인 영향지수(impact factor)와 즉효지수(immediacy index)를 이용하여 분석하였다. 구체적으로는 JCR의 사회과학편에서 경제학, 법학, 심리학 학술지의 최근 8년간 영향지수와 즉효지수를 수집하여 연도별 추이를 분석하였다. 분석결과 세 학문분야 모두 연도별 영향지수는 거의 변화가 없는 반면에, 즉효지수는 최근 2년 동안 급격히 상승한 것으로 나타났다. 즉효지수의 상승은 학술지의 논문이 발행되는 즉시 인용되고 있음을 보여주는 것으로 학술지의 발행형식이 최근 전자저널로 급속히 전화된 데 따른 결과인 것으로 유추된다. 아울러 이를 통해 학술커뮤니케이션의 속도가 과거에 비해 증진되었다는 것을 미루어 짐작할 수 있다. 이 연구는 전자저널의 영향 정도를 구체적으로 데이터를 수집해 분석함으로써 향후 도서관에서 과학적인 장서관리를 하는데 일조를 할 것으로 기대된다.

The existing standard for soil erosion risk assessment has limitations in sustainable topsoil management since the fixed criteria are applied to determination of soil erosion risk areas regardless of land use types. It may not be necessary to apply soil erosion best management practices to agricultural areas with high potential of soil erosion because human or economic damage derived from soil erosion might be tiny in that region. Furthermore, the fixed criterion with absolute values can select too many hot spots of soil erosion to conduct efficient soil erosion management. Thus, objective of this study was to suggest the relative criteria using statistical analysis for efficient soil erosion management. In future, the relative indices for soil erosion prevention should be improved to provide a priority of soil erosion management considering economic damage from soil erosion or functional values of soil with quantitative soil erosion. Additional researches will be needed to reflect a regional characteristics and to consider various land use types and different criteria.

The aim of this study is to analyze the differences in the publicness indices depending on the environmental factors of regional public hospitals to derive the policy implications for improving management for regional public hospitals. The data of the 34 regional public hospitals from 2016 was used for the analysis. Major results of this study are as follows. First, the analysis of the differences in the scores of the medical safety net function showed significantly higher scores for regional public hospitals with a larger location, a larger number of hospitals in a unit area, a larger number of nurses per 100 beds, and the lower management fee ratio. Second, the analysis of the differences in the scores of the unmet healthcare needs showed significantly higher scores for regional public hospitals with a larger number of hospitals in a unit area, and a larger number of beds. Third, the analysis of the differences in the scores of the hospital-specialized services showed significantly higher scores for regional public hospitals with a larger location, a higher financial independence of the local government, a larger number of hospitals in a unit area, a larger number of beds, and a larger number of nurses per 100 beds. Major conclusions of this study are as follows. Consideration should be given to the appropriate number of nurses for each regional public hospital to maximize publicness by providing the appropriate amount of medical services, but not to incur unnecessary labor costs. In addition, efforts should be made to enhance profitability, which can be a means of strengthening publicness, by identifying the minimum administrative expenses required for efficient operation and reducing unnecessary administrative expenses. Finally, it is necessary to identify the appropriate number of beds to meet the needs of the customers and to create maximum profits.
