Eight trace metals, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn, were measured in the urban soil of Guwahati City, Assam, India from 31 sites representing five different types of land use, residential, commercial, industrial, public utilities, and roadside. Cd and Co occurred in very low concentrations (Cd << Co) in all types of land use without any significant variation from one type of land use to another. Ni concentrations were more than those of Co, and the concentrations depended on land use pattern. Average Cr and Cu concentrations were ${\geq}100mg/kg$, but Cr had a significantly higher presence in industrial land use. Pb concentrations showed similar trends. The two metals, Mn and Zn, were present in much larger amounts compared to the others with values ${\geq}300mg/kg$. Industrial and roadside soil contained much more Mn while commercial soil was enriched with Zn. Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) was used for elucidating the mobility characteristics of the eight heavy metals. Mn suffered the highest leaching from commercial land (9.9 mg/kg on average) and also from other types of land. Co, Cu and Pb showed higher leachability from commercial soils but the leached concentrations were less than those of Mn. The two metals, Zn and Ni, were leached from residential land in considerable amounts. The TCLP showed Mn to be the most leachable metal and Cr the least.

As a basic life-supporting infra in modem life, road should carry out various functions; transport, public linear network service, open activity space. Case study villages were divided into plan-based improved one(3 subtypes) and not one(4 subtypes). On total 21 case study villages($3{\times}7$ subtypes), questionnaire surveys were performed. Villagers' satisfaction level to road conditions in the plan-based improved villages showed much higher than not improved ones, which means that improvement of village roads be a vital subject in level-up of quality of rural life. Traffic function of village roads was responded as a principal one, while other various functions as between-villagers communication, car-parking and accommodation of public utilities were also required. In this viewpoint, village roads should be multi-purposedly developed in future. So, it was concluded that the road improvement strength would vary with geographical and topographical conditions of each village. Although villagers' unsatisfaction level on road service was very high, their demand level of and supporting will toward road improvement works have continuously increased, so, it would be considered to be the very time that full-fledged village road improvement policy be initiated.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Sustainable practices in foodservice organizations including commercial and noncommercial ones are critical to ensure the protection of the environment for the future. With the rapid growth of the foodservice industry, wiser usage of input sources such as food, utilities, and single use packaging should be reconsidered for future generations. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the customer's perceptions on sustainable practices and to identify the relationship among sustainable practices, social contribution and purchase intention. SUBJECTS/METHODS: The study was conducted using content analyses by reviewing articles on sustainable food service practices published domestically and abroad. Thereafter, data were collected with a face-to-face survey using a questionnaire and analyzed with factor analyses and multiple regressions. RESULTS: Sustainable practices classified with factor analysis consisted of 6 dimensions of green food material procurement, sustainable food preparation, green packaging, preservation of energy, waste management, and public relations on green activity, with a total of 25 green activities in foodservice operations. Consumers were not very familiar with the green activities implemented in the foodservice unit, with the lowest awareness of "green food material procurement (2.46 out of 5 points)", and the highest awareness of "green packaging (3.74)" and "waste management (3.28). The factors influencing the perception of social contribution by foodservice organizations among 6 sustainable practice dimensions were found to be public relations on green activity (${\beta}=0.154$), waste management (${\beta}=0.204$) and sustainable food preparation (${\beta}=0.183$). Green packaging (${\beta}=0.107$) and the social contribution of the foodservice organization (${\beta}=0.761$) had strong relationships with the image of the organization. The purchase intentions of customers was affected only by the foodservice image (${\beta}=0.775$). CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that sustainable practices by foodservice organization present a good image to customers and increase the awareness of valuable contributions that benefit the customer as well as the community.

Background: The Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) is specified in the Disaster Counter-measures Basic Act as a designated public corporation for dealing with nuclear disasters. Materials and Methods: The Nuclear Emergency Assistance and Training Center (NEAT) was established in 2002 as the activity base providing technical assistance to both national and local governments during nuclear emergencies. The NEAT has a robust structure and utilities and special installations, and it organizes training and exercises. Results and Discussion: Due to an offshore earthquake that caused a devastating tsunami in March 2011, a nuclear accident occurred at the Tokyo Electric Power Company's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. The NEAT responded by conducting off-site environmental radiation monitoring and contamination screening, dispatching special vehicles, offering telephone consultations, and calculating the dispersion of radioactive materials. An examination of the emergency response activities revealed that the organization was prepared for these types of disasters and was able to plan long-term response. Conclusion: As a designated public corporation, the JAEA technically supports the national government, the Fukushima prefectural government, and the Ibaraki prefectural government, all of which responded to the off-site emergencies resulting from the March 2011 Fukushima Daiichi accident

It hasbeen individual and social problems that mattoids, alcohols and old people alienated from their families have wandered about the streets for rapid urbanzation, industrialization and nuclear families. In our country, measures for proper guidance for the tramps under the supports of government in 1982 have been carried out. But it has been difficult that we protected without Welfare Acts for them. According to those the study has aimed to provide for the fundamental data to advance public utilities as needs of an administrative organ with focus on contents of nursing records charts, furthermore general traits of subjects perceived details related to diseases. Medical record service has been a 'D' municipal hospital. All the subjects were a total of 4,855 persons, 2.436 in 1992, 2.419 in 1994. 1. Social Traits They mainly have attended a hospital, especially Thursday and Friday from a week and winter from the seasons. They equally have attended a hospital in the beginning, middle and end of the month. They equally have attended a hospital in the months. Government and public offices such as police stations and district offices have trusted them to a hospital. After they left a hospital. their residence has been their home confirmed in the ratio of $59.2\%$. 2. Controling Characteristics of a Medical Institution The proportion of males to females was 7 to 1. In the ages, the adults at the first of adulthood from 25 years to 44 years were $52.6\%$ mostly entered a hospital. In the observations the percentage of patients should be entered total was $8.8\%$. In general. the proportion of changes by fee was about $4\%$. Then the number of patients were on an average from 30. 76 to 32, 55 persons in 1992. It was from 25. 63 to 26. 87 in 1994. But the numbers were 5 to 6. It showed that the number was decreased. 3. Medical Traits The number of days by measured and the number of days which have been entered to a hospital have not made differences. The kinds of diseases were 1.11 in 1992. but were 1. 16 in 1994. In terms of 17 kinds of international diseases divided. the diseases recorded probably have been accidents. poisoning and violence( XVII). digestive trouble(IX). endoctrin disoders. metabolism and dystrophy(III) in orders, then they have been measured $51.0\%,\; 12.7\%,\; 6.8\%$. All patients who have been entered to a hospital severly have been drinking. As the seriousness of drinking and the kinds of diseases have indicated positively correlated. It have indicated that the more serious drinking have been. the more the number of diseases have been. As we have known according to abover results. the Acts for Homeless People related to special medical problems been have revised. furthemore they need to support the basic medical adds in order to maintaim their lives.

정부(政府)에 의한 공공요금관리(公共料金管理)의 기본적(基本的) 취지(趣旨)는 요금상승(料金上昇)을 억제(抑制)하거나 물가수준(物價水準)의 관리(管理)를 위한 것이 아니라, 시장(市場)의 기능을 대신하여 자원배분(資源配分)의 효율화(效率化)를 도모하고 사회적(社會的) 가치(價値)를 반영하고자 하는 것이다. 미시경제적(微示經濟的) 효과(效果)를 기대하는 정책수단(政策手段)을 거시경제적(巨視經濟的)인 정책목표(政策目標)를 위해 사용하는 것은 생산(生産)과 소비(消費)의 과정에서 자원(資源)의 흐름을 왜곡시켜 경제 전반적인 효율성(效率性)의 저하를 초래하고, 국민경제복지(國民經濟福祉)의 향상(向上)을 저해하게 되는 것이다. 특히 상승억제(上昇抑制) 위주의 관리방식(管理方式)이 공공(公共)서비스의 질(質)을 저하시키고, 공공요금(公共料金)이 공공(公共)서비스의 경제사회적(經濟社會的) 기회비용(機會費用)을 정확히 반영하지 못하게 되는 등의 문제를 초래하고 있는 것이다. 따라서, 공공요금(公共料金)도 시장가격기구(市場價格機構)의 일부로서 본래의 기능인 자원배분(資源配分)의 역할(役割)을 담당하도록 하여야 할 것이다. 장기적(長期的)으로는 소비자물가상승률(消費者物價上昇率)과 공공요금상승률(公共料金上昇率)이 크게 다르지 않은 점에 비추어, 비효율적인 직접통제방식(直接統制方式)을 지양(止揚)하고, 수혜자부담(受惠者負擔)의 원칙과 사업단위별 독립채산제의 원칙 아래 공공요금(公共料金) 관리기구(管理機構)의 분권화(分權化)를 추진하여야 할 것이다. 이를 위해서 각 사업단위별(事業單位別)로 독립규제위원회(獨立規制委員會)를 설치하여 전문적으로 공익(公益)을 대표하도록 하고, 해당 위원회(委員會)에서 상시(常時)로 요금수준(料金水準) 및 구조변경(構造變更)에 대해 검토(檢討) 인가(認可)하는 방식으로 개선되어야 할 것이다. 교통운수요금(交通運輸料金)은 노선별 구역별로 경쟁도(競爭度)와 면허개방도(免許開放度)를 고려하여 점진적으로 자유화(自由化)하되, 면허권자가 지방자치단체장(地方自治團體長)인 경우 사업의 요금은 지방자치단체(地方自治團體)에 일임하여야 할 것이다.

본 연구에서는 일반인을 대상으로 일반 설문과 선택형 컨조인트 분석(Choice Based Conjoint Analysis: CBC Analysis)을 통해 태양광 발전을 중심으로 신재생에너지와 신재생에너지 사업 전반에 대한 인식을 파악하고, 계층적 베이지안 모형(Hierarchical Bayesian Model)을 이용하여 신재생에너지 사업에 대한 일반 국민의 선호를 정량적으로 분석하였다. 그 결과, 응답자들은 신재생에너지 사업에 참여하게 될 경우 누가 사업을 주도 하는가, 즉 사업을 주도하는 주체에 대해 가장 중요하게 생각하며, 그 뒤를 이어 발전소의 위치와 국민들의 참여 방식과 이익배분에 대해서 중요하게 생각하였고, 상대적으로 사업에 대한 국민들의 의사결정 참여는 중요하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 응답자들은 신재생에너지 사업에 참여할 경우, 정보 공유나 의사 개진, 협조, 조율과 같은 사업에 대한 지원 활동(volunteering) 보다는 대출이나 지분 소유를 통한 투자 참여를 선호하였고, 따라서 의사 결정 참여와 같은 사업의 절차적(procedural justice) 측면 보다는 이익의 배분과 같은 분배적(distributional justice) 측면에 관심이 더 높았다. 각 사업의 속성 수준별 부분 효용의 크기에 따른 분석에서는, 지방자치단체 주도 하에 국민들이 신재생에너지 사업에 대해 주식을 소유하고 사업의 수익률에 연동하여 배당을 받는 방식으로 참여하고 산지나 해변보다는 지붕에 발전 시설을 설치하는 것을 선호하였고, 반대로 전문 개발회사와 투자회사 주도로 정보공유, 협의, 조율과 모니터링에 참여하고 이익의 일부를 마을 복지나 발전 기금으로 받으며, 발전소를 산지나 임야에 짓는 경우를 선호하지 않았다. 본 연구는 직접적인 설문과 면담 등의 질적 연구만으로는 밝혀내기 어려웠던 국민 참여를 전제한 신재생에너지 사업 속성의 영향력을 계량화된 모형을 통해 입증하였다는 점에서 의의를 가지며, 따라서 본 연구에서 나타난 신재생에너지 사업에 대한 일반인의 인식과 선호 분석의 결과는 향후 국민 참여형 신재생에너지 사업의 방향 수립 시 주민 수용성을 높이는 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

경제성장에는 항상 지역간 격차가 있어왔다. 1960년대 이후 발생하기 시작한 선진 공업국의 탈 공업화로 인한 사회 경제적 위기로부터 회복하는 데에도 지역간, 도시간 상당한 격차가 있어 왔다. 이러한 격차에 대한 전통적 이론은 "자원의 불균등한 배분"으로 설명하곤 하였다. 그러나 유사한 수준의 자원을 가진 지역간에도 상당한 성장격차가 있다는 사실을 감안할 때, 그러한 전통적 이론에 문제가 있다는 것이 확인되고 있다. 이러한 상황에서 최근 성장과 회복에 있어서의 격차를 설명하는 새로운 이론이 대두되고 있다. 진화론적 경제이론에 근거한 경로이론과 회복력 개념이 그 대표적인 예이다. 이 논문은 그러한 이론의 출현 배경과 특징, 유용성 등을 비교 분석한다. 이 두 이론은 아직 객관화된 판단의 근거를 개발하지는 못했지만, 종전의 이론이 가진 한계점을 보완하고 다양한 사회현상을 설명하는 하나의 대안으로써 설득력이 있어서, 비(非)계량적 연구방법이 충분히 발달하지 못한 우리 학계의 발전에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

산업 기반시설의 감시와 제어를 담당하는 SCADA 시스템은 다양한 방법과 규약으로 통신 네트워크를 구성한다. 기존의 SCADA 설비와 규약들은 구현성과 활용성 그리고 효율성들이 강조된 반면, 보안과 관련 된 사항은 고려되지 못하였다. 이러한 운용상의 신뢰성과 유연성의 증가로 성능은 향상되었으나 보안성은 상대적으로 취약하다. SCADA 시스템의 보안 취약성은 고장이나 오동작뿐만 아니라 외부 침입과 사이버공격과 같은 잠재적 위험에 노출되어 전체 시스템의 붕괴를 가져올 수 있다. 따라서 보안상 여러 가지 위험 요소들에 대응하기 위하여 암호화 장치와 같은 보안 모듈의 도입이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 SCADA 네트워크에서 계측 제어 명령을 수행하는 RTU, IED와 같은 설비들의 보안성 향상을 위하여 직렬통신 구간에서 사용할 수 있는 암호화 장치를 개발하고 제안하였다.
