Because of the technological innovation of information-communication, the liberalization of world trade and the intensification of regionalisation, the world economic space is in progress of globalization that is not only a product but also a capital, technology and labour move freely over the countries. In the globalized economic space, the multinational finns accelerate a globalization of capital and labour by exporting the capital to the peripherals countries for the low cost of production and importing the low wage labour from the peripherals countries. East Asia which appeared one of the world triad economic axis with a rapid regional economic growth after 1980's intensifies the regionalisation of capital and labour. As the increase of gap in cost of production and income level among the countries, not only the direction of flows of capital and labour but also the traits of migrant labour also changes remarkably.

This paper discusses the theoretical arguments regarding the structure of the national disaster management system. This paper is motivated by the criticisms that the Korean literature on the national disaster management system treats the issue in the limited context of the structural reform of the government and that in such process it confines itself to the production of very practical solutions based on partial observation on the national disaster management system of advanced countries without proper treatment of the peculiar political, socio-economic, cultural backgrounds of such countries. Therefore, this paper provides thorough theoretical review on the structural characteristics of the national disaster management system, which is pursued on the basis of the constructs of the systematic understanding of the characteristics of disaster itself as a policy subject. As a result this paper shows that the national disaster management system requires.

In this study, a transnational social space which emerges in a rural village of the northern Vietnam called 'Korean Village' is analyzed. The immigrant women of whom the spouses are Korean were forming transnational network with family members through which frequent and active communications took place. At the same time materialistic exchanges were occurring by means of remittance. Like most rural areas where up-to-date life patterns co-exist with outdated ones, the studied region was turning into a transnational social space under the influence of indigenous locallity, culture and other economic factors. Women were found to play a virtual role as resonator in practicing the transnational activity of migration. With the migration routes getting more and more solidified, the evolution of the transnational social space and the role of resonator, the form of transnational migration which makes involved young women look like a sacrifice is ceaselessly expanding around a specific region. This is noticeable because a rural village seemingly far away from internationalization is not only becoming the transnational social space but also a stage of its evolution.

It is not so long that the cultural industrial sector has been noted as one of the major engines of regional economy in Korea. In parallel with balanced development strategies recently emphasized in the Korean regional policy, there has been a wide range of investment to formulate cultural industrial districts in major cities. This trend of investment focus has changed the development strategies of each city. There are criticisms, however, to this public sector-dominated nurturing of cultural economy. This paper overviews the recent policy of cultural industrial districts in Korea, in terms of its background, institutional basis, performances, and some evaluations. Some suggestions are provided in order to make the policy successful; emphasize developing the culture industry itself, develop clusters specifically focused on the characteristics of the culture industry, deliberate substantial measures for nurturing companies and human resources in the local regions, and formulate a system in which the local dominates and the center supports.

Cultural Content Industry, a core industry based on knowledge, is becoming an economic model making new benefits by adding human creativity, imagination, sensitivity and style in to information technology. Cultural Contents Industry representing cultures of each countries is facing major changes towards a new competitive industry of each nation. Cultural content of a country is upbringing new contents power developing into a new industry by flattening the barriers within nations. But cooperations face difficulties in launching the industry because of limited information about the current market and lack of understanding in cultural differences. In order to solve this problem, this paper aims to create global network leading to increase of export and creation of new market with cultural contents and train local specialists. In order to search for the ways to maintain Korean contents in other nations and expand exportation. cooperations invite leading cultural contents groups to South Korea, let the groups experience Korea's contents. Cooperations initiated invite training, dispatch training by Korean companies and international students training. The purpose of this paper is to support education system, ETS-CS(Educational Training System for Contents Specialist) and analyse practices applied in the field to develop a better cultural contents industry.

As recent inflows of foreign immigrants to relatively advanced countries in Northeast Asia have rapidly increased, Japan in particular uses 'multicultural coexistance' as a key concept for developing both discourse and policies on them. This paper is first of all to suggest a new typology of multicultural societies in the world ill order to differentiate the case of Northeast Asian countries from those of Western countries. And this paper is to suggest that foreign immigrants in Japan have different positions in labor markets and living experiences according to historical and social backgrounds as well as their nationality. The transformation process towards multicultural society is not only historical and social but also geographical and spatial, as foreign immigrants have made different spatial distribution and regional segregation in types. In order to control this socio-spatial process towards multicultural society, Japan has developed the concept of 'multicultural coexistence' similar with that of multiculturalism in Western countries. This concept seems to be quite significant as it has been initiated by local communities for symbiotic relationship between foreign immigrants and native Japanese dwellers. But it can be regarded as a strategic ideology to control foreign immigrants as it targets mainly on Nikkeijin, and is usually concerned with the cultural aspect. Seen from a theoretical point of view, this concept can be seen as closed with liberal multiculturalism as opportunity equity, but far from corporative multiculturalism as outcome equity, and it is on the process transferring from the first stage of tolerance to the second stage of legislation of nondiscrimination, while being distant from the third stage of legislation paradigmization of recognition, and hence appears to be easily reverted to assimilationism.

Various opinions and discussions have been actively in progress which are connected with cultural heritage since 'Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs' was announced by UN Sustainable Development Summit 2015 as Post-2015 Development Agenda. Apart from SDGs, conservation of cultural heritage itself stands on the basis of sustainability that originality, characteristic, diversity of cultural heritage should be permanently preserved. From that point of view, it is necessary to understand practical ODA for cultural heritage, far from theoretical approaches and policies. This paper is intended to look into the domestic and overseas situation related to ODA of Asian cultural heritage and the mentioned problems, future plans and challenges. First, the background and concepts about ODA were described and then ODA projects which have been carried out by Japan and China as typical ODA countries for Southeast Asia were introduced. ODA of cultural heritage in Korea has relatively recently started for restoration work for historic sites of Laos and Cambodia and its scale and performance do not come to much yet. Therefore, to develop ODA of cultural heritage, there are suggestions as in the followings. First, it is necessary to have a long-term master plan of ODA projects for sustainability of cultural heritage. Second, based on the view from the long-term perspective, the selection and focus for ODA partner countries should be considered, avoiding short-term projects aiming at a number of countries. Not widespread existing projects by other countries, but the model of Korean ODA for cultural heritage only Korea can conduct should be prepared. The next thing is connection with sustainability, and ultimately the conservation of cultural heritage should result in benefit to the natives by giving an impetus to economy as well as fostering tourism of local areas. To accomplish that connection, educational training and building capacity are suggested as the most suitable alternatives. Cultural heritage of each country reflects its indigenous originality and characteristics, therefore, the restoration work should be conducted by people in each country as the best way. From this point of view, ACPCS held by National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage will take a role of a specialized training program in Korean way. Lastly, establishment of a control tower for ODA in Korea is necessary. JCIC(Japan Consortium for International Cooperation in Cultural Heritage), which was set up in Japan for sharing information, establishment of cooperation system and prevention of overlapped projects will be an example we can take into consideration.

오늘날 다양해지는 산업구조에서 가장 핵심적인 분야로 떠오르고 있는 서비스는 국가의 미래전략사업으로 현재 각 국가들은 서비스를 중요한 이슈로 타 학문과의 연계 가능성에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 서비스란 국가의 생활환경과 문화 수준에 따라 현저한 차이를 보이고 있지만 신 개념의 서비스는 접근방법에 있어서 소비자가 원하는 요구조건을 개인의 특성에 맞는 맞춤형서비스라는 공통된 방식으로 진행되고 있다. 동양에서의 서비스란 단순히 무료로 가치를 보상받지 않고 육체적, 물리적 가치를 상대에게 제공한다는 의미로 해석되고 있는 반면, 서양에서 서비스 개념은 가치를 제공함 으로서 합당한 대가를 돌려받는다는 의미로 해석된다. 이러한 서비스의 개념은 디자인을 서비스라는 시각에서 볼 때 소비자에게 가치의 제공이라는 개념으로 지금까지 많은 기업 및 산업체에서는 디자인을 실시하는 행위가 소비자를 위한 서비스 제공이라는 개념으로 생각하지만 실제 디자인에서 서비스 접근방법은 명확한 기준과 근거가 부족한 편이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존 연구에서 밝혀진 부산 관광자원의 중요 요소인 쇼핑환경을 개선하기 위해 소비자의 이용 빈도가 높은 부산시 마트(Mart)를 중심으로 이용자에게 좀더 편리한 쇼핑환경을 제공하기 위한서비스디자인 방법을 연구하고자 한다. 연구방법에 있어서는 실제 마트(Mart)를 이용하는 소비자의 심리분석과 문제점, 행동분석을 통해 쇼핑환경을 개선하고 이용자에게 편리한 제품디자인 방법을 연구하여 마트(Mart)의 서비스 디자인 방법을 찾아본다.

The culture industrial design classification is the major factor to develop the various potential abilities, promote a new value to change and maximize the competitiveness of industry and the nation. Accordingly it is important to comprehensively understand and recognize the changing of this new design paradigm with its structural contents. In order to have universality data need to be made a classification system in advance for the policy, strategy, analysis indicator and assessing the culture industrial design classification. This study build CIDC that structure divided into three sections(A,B,C) with divisions(medium), classes(small) and groups(specific field) of numeric code from "01" or "001" and increasing their numbers. CIDC is set up in order to search for differences and referential character through comparisons with design-related classification systems as well as making a role of the basic under data for this field.c under data for this field.

The purposes of this study are to review the historical development of food and culture in the KDC (Korean Decimal Classification) and to propose improvements of the KDC to classify materials of food and culture by using the KDC effectively. First of all, changes of classification numbers and headings related to food and culture from the 1st edition to the 5th edition of the KDC were examined. Recent books about food and culture were examined and were classified according to the latest edition of the KDC. Several problems were found including a lack of headings, including notes in food and culture, a lack of headings about Korean foods in particular and reflections about various foods from other countries, a lack of detailed relative headings, and the remaining western oriented headings. Other classification systems about food and culture were analyzed and it was found that there was a need to have new headings for classifying Korean traditional foods and table services, new formats for a relative index, detailed notes, and changes in western oriented headings.
