While the pavement rating system is being utilized for periodic road condition assessment in the Eastern Region municipality of Saudi Arabia, the condition assessment is costly, time-consuming, and not comprehensive as only few parts of the road are randomly selected for the assessment. Thus, this study is aimed at developing a condition assessment model for a specific sample of a residential road network in Dammam City based on an individual road and a road network. The model was developed using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) according to the defect types and their levels of severity. The defects were arranged according to four categories: structure, construction, environmental, and miscellaneous, which was adopted from sewer condition coding systems. The developed model was validated by municipality experts and was adjudged to be acceptable and more economical compared to results from the Eastern region municipality (Saudi Arabia) model. The outcome of this paper can assist with the allocation of the government's budget for maintenance and capital programs across all Saudi municipalities through maintaining road infrastructure assets at the required level of services.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to determine the level of environmental governance practices of Local Government Units (LGUs) on the implementation of waste policies. It determines the level of compliance with the waste policies implemented by LGUs particularly on waste resource conservation and waste reduction; the degree of the implementation of the environmental governance on education, values, health, and economic sufficiency. Also, it determines the initiatives done by the local government units to decentralize the leadership on waste sustainability. Research Methodology: The survey method was employed to gather information from municipalities and cities on waste programs implemented by the local government units. The data were gathered from households, schools, businesses and industries; and local government units. Results and Conclusions: The findings revealed that the level of environmental governance on waste reduction and waste resource conservation was fairly implemented by the local government units. The LGUs used the four areas of governance to keep the municipality self-sufficient, well-managed, and free from waste issues. The research can be used by the academe as a good teaching material for social responsibility, public administration, strategic management, and environmental-related courses.

Background: The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors affecting the healthy living practice rate such as non-smoking, moderate drinking, walking, and low-salt diet by elementary municipality (so called, 'si-gun-hu'). Methods: The 2016 Korean Community Health Survey was used for the analysis. The theoretical model is founded upon the Anderson model, and both the multiple linear regression analysis and the beta regression analysis was performed for estimation. Results: As a result of the beta regression analysis, healthy living practice rate was found to be significantly higher in the areas with a less number of cigarette retailers, participating in healthy city projects, a low proportion of people who perceive their body type as obesity, a higher proportion of women, and a lower proportion of spouses. Conclusion: In order to improve healthy living practices, the regulations on health risk businesses, the spread of Healthy City project, and policy efforts awaring obesity are recommended.

연구목적: 비축창고 현장실태조사를 통해 재난관리자원 관리 및 운영의 문제점을 파악하여 지자체 재난관리자원 관리 개선안 도출을 목적으로 하였다. 연구방법: 최근 20년간 재해연보 및 재난연감에 기록된 자연 및 사회재난의 피해사례를 선정된 재난유형에 따라 지자체별 발생횟수를 재난에 대한 과거위험성, 현재취약성 및 대응능력을 고려하여 재난 유형건수가 높은 지역을 우선적으로 도출하였다. 도출한 지역에 대해 해당 지자체의 재난관리자원 공동활용시스템(DRSS, Disaster Resource Sharing Service) 데이터를 분석하여 비축창고를 선정 후 현장조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과: 현재 지자체의 재난관리자원 비축창고 실무담당자들의 과중한 업무로 시청 및 구청 내 현행화가 다소 미흡한 것으로 분석되었으며, 실무담당자가 현행화 자료 입력 시 입력방법 및 기준이 현재로서는 명확하지 않아 실제 비축량과 DRSS 데이터가 차이를 보이거나 누락되는 경우가 다소 발생하였다. 결론: 재난관리자원 비축창고의 관리 개선을 위해 DRSS 시스템에 대한 교육 및 재난관리자원 운영에 대한 모범적 사례 교육이 절실하며 방재전문인력을 활용한 비축물자의 쳬계적인 관리가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
