Maritime safety management needs active public participations because the sea is too wide for a government to respond to all unexpected accidents with limited resources. Marine rescue volunteer organizations of US, UK, Japan and Korea were compared one another on the base of disaster management governance theory, and recommendations for the development of marine rescue volunteer organization of Korea were proposed. The advanced organizations commonly have tradition of marine rescue voluntaryism in the advanced maritime countries. They have nation-wide networks and self-governing structures. Their main activities include public maritime safety education and fundraising programs as well as marine rescue operations. They have cooperative relationships with government agencies in charge of national maritime safety management, which are usually guaranteed by legislations or institutional systems. Donations from the public are major source of their finances. Members mainly consist of civil volunteers, and get basic compensations for their expenses. For the advancement of marine rescue volunteer organization of Korea, efforts are needed to strengthen the membership of civil rescue fleet, to activate public education and fundraising programs, and to amend the related law for institutional support.

International financial crises of the mid-l990s are widely perceived as the trigger that prompted recognition of the need for a new data quality management by the OECD, IMF, Eurostat and individual statistical agency. The official statistics improvements schedule in Korea was launched in 1996 as part of a broader internationally-agreed-upon initiative to strengthen transparency and promote good governance practices. These new initiatives are based on the Total Quality Management(TQM) movement and other management frameworks broadening the concept of quality beyond the traditional statistician's concepts of data quality. This paper aims to evaluate the statistics quality of Land Price Index. Evauation Method is the National Statistical Office's Data Quality Management System which focus on accuracy, timeliness, relevance, accessibility, comparability, serviceability, efficiency.

This paper examines why Japan's nation branding strategy is not working in South Korea in spite of expanding relations between Korea and Japan. Japan has successfully managed its national reputation, which altered its image around the world. However, Japan's nation-image in South Korea has not kept up with its efforts internationally. Political and economic interactions between Korea and Japan have increased throughout the past decades since the normalization of diplomatic relations in 1965. Also, the normalization of cultural-social relations emerged after the Korean government policy restricting Japanese popular culture was removed in the 1990s and overseas travel was liberalized in 1989. In spite of the improvement in politico-cultural-social relations, trust-building efforts still stagnate between the two countries. This paper discusses the reasons behind this phenomenon and provides some suggestions to solve this issue.

Globally, efforts are being made to develop and strengthen a palliative care policy to support a comprehensive healthcare system. Korea has implemented a hospice and palliative care (HPC) policy as part of a cancer policy under the 10 year plan to conquer cancer and a comprehensive measure for national cancer management. A legal ground for the HPC policy was laid by the Cancer Control Act passed in 2003. Currently in the process is legislation of a law on the decision for life-sustaining treatment for HPC and terminally-ill patients. The relevant law has expanded the policy-affected disease group from terminal cancer to cancer, human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and chronic liver disease/liver cirrhosis. Since 2015, the National Health Insurance (NHI) scheme reimburses for HPC with a combination of the daily fixed sum and the fee for service systems. By the provision type, the HPC is classified into hospitalization, consultation, and home-based treatment. Also in place is the system that designates, evaluates and supports facilities specializing in HPC, and such facilities are funded by the NHI fund and government subsidy. Also needed along with the legal system are consensus reached by people affected by the policy and more realistic fee levels for HPC. The public and private domains should also cooperate to set HPC standards, train professional caregivers, control quality and establish an evaluation system. A stable funding system should be prepared by utilizing the long-term care insurance fund and hospice care fund.

우리나라의 건강증진사업은 1995년 국민건강증진법을 제정하면서 시작되었다. 동법의 제정과 더불어 보건소법을 지역보건법으로 전면개정하면서 보건소를 지역주민의 평생건강관리 중추기관으로 육성하기 위한 노력을 하였다. 지역보건소는 보건의료전달 체계에서 일차의료를 담당하고 있기 때문에 접근성이 좋고, 국가주도의 사업을 체계적으로 수행할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 지난 1999년도부터 3년간 각 시도별로 1개소씩 건강증진거점보건소를 선정하여 건강증진시범사업을 실시한 후 그 사업성과를 평가하고, 2002년도 하반기부터 전국의 100개 보건소에 150억 규모의 예산을 투입하여 건강증진사업을 추진하도록 기금을 지원하고 있는 것은 건강증진사업을 보건소를 중심으로 활성화하기 위한 실질적인 노력으로 볼 수 있다.

As artificial intelligence (AI) technology is recognized as a key technology that will determine future national competitiveness, competition for AI technology and industry promotion policies in major countries is intensifying. This study aims to present implications for domestic policy making by analyzing the policies of major countries on the start-up of AI companies, which are the basis of the AI industry ecosystem. The top four countries and the EU for the number of new investment attraction companies in the 2023 AI Index announced by the HAI Research Institute at Stanford University in the United States were selected, The United States enacted the National AI Initiative Act (NAIIA) in 2021. Through this law, The US Government is promoting continued leadership in the United States in AI R&D, developing reliable AI systems in the public and private sectors, building an AI system ecosystem across society, and strengthening DB management and access to AI policies conducted by all federal agencies. In the 14th Five-Year (2021-2025) Plan and 2035 Long-term Goals held in 2021, China has specified AI as the first of the seven strategic high-tech technologies, and is developing policies aimed at becoming the No. 1 AI global powerhouse by 2030. The UK is investing in innovative R&D companies through the 'Future Fund Breakthrough' in 2021, and is expanding related investments by preparing national strategies to leap forward as AI leaders, such as the implementation plan of the national AI strategy in 2022. Israel is supporting technology investment in start-up companies centered on the Innovation Agency, and the Innovation Agency is leading mid- to long-term investments of 2 to 15 years and regulatory reforms for new technologies. The EU is strengthening its digital innovation hub network and creating the InvestEU (European Strategic Investment Fund) and AI investment fund to support the use of AI by SMEs. This study aims to contribute to analyzing the policies of major foreign countries in making AI company start-up policies and providing a basis for Korea's strategy search. The limitations of the study are the limitations of the countries to be analyzed and the failure to attempt comparative analysis of the policy environments of the countries under the same conditions.

환경개선용수의 비용 부담방법과 부담주체를 결정하는 것은 환경개선용수의 효율적 이용과 관리의 핵심적인 요소이다. 환경개선용수의 비용부담 방법은 공공부담, 수익자부담 및 원인자부담이 있다. 그런데, 비용부담 방법은 환경개선용수의 공급에 대한 댓가를 어떠한 형태로 지불받을 것인가? 환경개선용수의 수익자는 누구인가? 그리고 환경개선용수를 어떤 시각에서 바라 볼 것인지에 따라 달라지게 된다. 즉, 환경개선용수가 순수한 공공재로서 당연히 국가가 제공하여야 하는 기본 서비스인지 아니면 일반 재화나 서비스와 같이 수익자 부담원칙에 의거 수요자가 부담해야 하는지, 또는 공공재와 사적재의 양면성을 고려해 공공부담과 수익자부담을 같이 고려하는 형태가 바람직한 지에 대한 검토를 필요로 한다. 아울러, 환경개선용수의 수익자를 설정하는 문제에 있어서는 수요자가 특정한 목적을 위해 물을 사용하는 특정 사업자인지, 아니면 공익적인 측면에서 불특정 다수를 대신하여 환경개선용수를 수요하는 수요자인지에 따라 수익자가 달라지기 때문에 이에 대한 구분도 필요하다. 환경개선용수의 부담방법을 정할 때 수원(水源)을 기준으로 판단하여야 한다. 환경개선용수의 수원으로는 다목적댐, 하수처리장, 빗물, 농업용 저수지, 지하수 및 기타 하천수로 구분할 수 있다. 아울러 비용부담 범위가 물에 대한 부담에 한정하는지 아니면 환경개선용수를 수익지까지 공급하기 위한 공급시설에 대한 부담인지도 명확히 할 필요가 있다. 환경개선용수는 생활 공업용수 등과 같이 하천수를 특정 용도에 사용하는 것이기 때문에 특정 이용자가 국가에 하천수 사용허가를 얻어 이용하는 것으로 수익자가 비용을 부담하는 것을 원칙으로 하는 것이 가장 바람직하다. 왜냐하면 환경개선용수의 확보가 하천관리청의 의무가 되는 경우에는 하천의 물이 공유재산화 됨으로써 나타나는 '공유재산의 비극'(Tragedy of the Commons)을 초래하기 때문이다. 다만, 비용부담의 정도에 있어서는 다른 요인이 고려될 필요가 있다. 원칙적으로 하천의 자연적 기능을 유지하는데 필요한 유량은 하천관리청의 의무이므로 공공부담으로 하고 인위적 기능을 유지하는데 필요한 유량은 수익자 또는 원인자부담이 바람직하다. 이러한 기본 원칙에 따르면, 환경개선용수는 수익자부담 또는 원인자부담이 주(主)원칙이고 공공부담은 부(副)원칙이다. 본 연구는 환경개선용수의 확보 및 공급에 따른 비용부담 원칙에 대한 기준을 제시한다.

With an entry into force of OPRC-HNS on June 14th 2007, response system against any large scale accidents related to HNS is required to respond rapidly and effectively in a national scale, US national response system and national contingency plan for any chemicals in operation were analyzed to understand the characteristics of management system and response system for any HNS driven accidents in the Us. Main characteristics of the US system were well described as an unified information window and an integrated incident command system supported by response facilities, manpower and technical support from other response organizations through good cooperation. In general, response activities are conducted by private sectors, however, the government will take over response activities in case large scale accidents occur in the Us. Expected expenses for response activities are covered by a type of Superfund in the Us. Several applicable ways are proposed to enable NGO to participate in and reorganize response system in ROK, and are feasible in collaboration with other response organizations and private sectors in the aspects of equipment, technology and manpower, Based upon the above activities, it is desirable to reorganize domestic rules and/or regulations related to response measures in ROK.

This study is related with support system plans of public-private convergence for emergency recovery services to fire victims. The current issues are analysed from the condition and problem analysis results of emergency recovery activities for fire victims. And building plans of an integrated support system based on the government and private sector cooperation are proposed. Overall, the system shows that the government is responsible for the functionality of management and supervision for the system operation, and the private is responsible for the functionality of specialized agencies for practical emergency recovery. Consequently, support system plans include with infrastructure maintenance of laws and regulations, contracting-out of the support system, stable supply of operating budget and function strengthening of public-private convergence for emergency recovery. Especially, plan for stable supply of operating budget in detail including with establishment of the fund and self-financing composition of private corporations for emergency recovery services is proposed. The results of this study will lead strengthening of fire safety welfare and social safety nets at future.
