This study extends theoretically the expected utility model of trade-conflict developed by Polacheck if a third country is involved, and analyses empirically how trade between North Korea and China affects to the political conflict between South and North Korea. The results of empirical analysis show that North Korea's exports to South Korea and China do not affect the conflict or cooperative relations between South and North Korea. But North Korea's imports from South Korea and China affect to the conflict between South and North Korea: increasing of North Korea's imports to South Korea reduce conflict between South and North Korea, but increasing of North Korea's imports to China increase conflict between South and North Korea.

본(本) 연구(硏究)의 목적(目的)은 남북한(南北韓) 통화(通貨)의 구매력(購買力)을 상품가격(商品價格) 및 단위비용(單位費用)을 이용해 직접 비교(比較)해 보고자 하는 데 있다. 연구결과(硏究結果)에 따르면 북한(北韓)의 공식가격 및 공식임금을 이용하는 경우 남북한(南北韓) 통화(通貨)간의 구매력(購買力) 차이는 현재 북한(北韓)이 국제무역에서 통용하고 있는 상업환율(商業換率)보다 높게 나타나고 있다. 그러나 이 결과가 실제적으로 북한통화(北韓通貨)의 구매력(購買力)을 대변해 준다고 보기는 어렵다. 무엇보다도 현재 북한(北韓)에서의 가격(價格) 및 임금(賃金)이 실제적인 수요(需要) 공급상태(供給狀態)를 반영하기보다는 정부에 의해 낮게 책정되기 때문이다. 북한통화(北韓通貨)의 구매력(購買力)이 이 논문에서 공식가격(公式價格)을 이용해 얻은 결과보다 낮다는 것은 일부 품목을 암시장가격(暗市場價格)으로 대치해 얻은 결과를 통해서 확인할 수 있다. 또한 다른 사회주의(社會主義) 국가들의 체제전환(體制轉換) 경험에 비추어 볼 때 북한통화(北韓通貨)의 실제구매력(實際購買力)은 현재 상업환율(商業換率)이 나타내는 것보다도 작을 것으로 추측된다. 이 논문의 또 다른 실증결과(實證結果)는 남한(南韓)과 북한(北韓)의 가격구조(價格構造)가 상당히 다르게 나타나고 있다는 것이다. 북한(北韓)에서는 미가공식료품(美加工食料品), 주거비(住居費), 보건(保健) 의료(醫療) 등이 남한(南韓)에 비해 상대적으로 저렴(低廉)한 반면 가공(加工)된 식료품(食料品), 가구(家具) 및 가사용품(家事用品), 피복(被服) 신발 등은 상대적으로 남한(南韓)에 비해 높은 가격이 유지되고 있다. 이러한 남한(南韓)과 북한(北韓)의 가격구조(價格構造) 차이(差異)는 경제성장(經濟成長) 및 사회변화(社會變化)에 따른 차이가 일부 있기도 하지만 북한체제(北韓體制)에서의 인위적(人爲的)인 가격책정(價格策定)에 의한 가격구조(價格構造)의 왜곡(歪曲)으로 인한 차이가 상당히 큰 것으로 짐작된다.

The earth science curriculum and textbooks of the secondary school in South Korea and North Korea were analysed comparatively with the modified TIMSS curriculum frameworks. In the secondary school of North Korea, earth science is not provided with separate subject, but partly taught in geography. Geography is taught by two hour per week in the first to fifth grade of secondary school. Especially the first and the fifth grade geography are deeply related to earth science. The major aim of earth science education in South Korea is to develop creative problem solver having with interest and curiosity in searching natural phenomena and with basic science concepts and inquiry process skills. But on the other hand the aim of geography education of North Korea is to cultivate communist revolutionists who are faithful to IL-Sung Kim and Jung-IL Kim. In both Koreas the category of 'earth feature' and 'earth process' are dealt a lot, but 'earth in the universe' is rarely taught in North Korea, which suggests that separate subject of astronomy is instructed in the North. Generally the scope and sequence of earth science of North Korea comes under those of middle school of South Korea. Especially discrepancy in level of meteorology and astronomy area between North and South Korea is great.

Abstract This research is a comparative study on the geological natural monuments of South and North Koreas. The classification system on natural monuments between South Korea and North Korea is similar, but North Korea's designations are relatively well-balanced. The geology field of South Korea was composed of rocks, caves, fossils and general geology, whereas that of North Korea was subdivided into rocks, fossils, strata, mineral springs, hot springs, geography, waterfalls, lakes, caves and pools. Unlike South Korea, North Korea designates and preserves geological structures such as fold and fault, and representative outcrops of mine. It is suggested that South Korea has to establish natural monument management policies for preserving geological structures and outstanding outcrops of mine. The 47-year period of preserving natural monuments in South Korea was divided into the stages I (1962~1980), II (1981~1995) and III (1996~2008). The designated numbers of geological natural monuments in the stage I, II and III average 1.1, 0.1 and 2.6, respectively. The number of geological natural monuments in South Korea is highest in Jeju province, whereas that in North Korea is highest in Gangwon province. This implies that natural monuments have been well protected especially in the locality of slow urbanization.

식량부족에 따른 북한의 기아현상을 심각하다. 우리는 우선 긴급한 식량을 북한에 원조해 주어야 하겠지만 더욱 중요한 것은 그들이 식량자급을 할 수 있도록 농업경영방식의 개선을 설득하고 협조하는 일이다. 현재 북한의 경지면적은 논과 밭의 비율만 다를 뿐 남한과 비슷하다. 북한의 식량난을 해결하기 위해서 우리는 북한에게 부족한 비료와 농약, 농기계 부속품 등의 우선 지원문제들을 다각적으로 검토해야 하겠다.

The objective of this study was to understand the dietary life of North Koreans through the examination of dietary life terms assembled and classified from the North Korean sources. In order to ascertain any contrasting aspects and also to improve the degree of understanding, the comparable terms from the South Korean sources were also assembled and classified accordingly. The North Korean sources were the two dictionaries and the two Web sites related with the dietary life in North Korea and those of the South Korean sources were the middle school Home Economics textbooks in South Korea. The major findings of this study on the dietary life terms of North Korea were as follows: 1) The majority of the classified dietary life terms was from the food sector; 2) There were terms which were indicative of the food supply situation in North Korea; 3) The terms related to the corn as the primary crop for the North's food production policy occupied relatively a large proportion of the assembled terms; 4) Chinese-and foreign-origin terms seemingly modified through the North's word purification project were found in the various different categories; 5) Some terms were difficult to understand without special interpretation; 6) There were terms related to the agriculture which were obsolete in the South; and 7) In the South's Home Economics textbooks there were a number of the dietary life policy terms of South Korea and foreign-origin terms. It is hopeful that this study may contribute to the mutual understanding in the field of the dietary life for the South and North Korean youths in spite of the language bifurcation due to the South-North separation.

In this study, the meteorology terms in the geography text books of North Korea which includes all of the meteorology educational contents in secondary school curriculum are compared with those in the earth science text books in South Korea. Forty science terms which are the same meaning but composed of different words are picked up to investigate the degree for 89 high school students in Chonnam province to perceive the meanings correctly. High school students' perceptions is on the average 30% higher in terminology of South Korea textbooks than in those of North Korea. But, students' perceptions on 9 North Korean terms is rather higher compared to South Korean terms. Twenty six (83.9%) terms which are difficult for high school students to perceive correct meanings are those lately composed of North Korean native words. Most of meteorology terms in South Korean textbooks are derived from the Chinese characters or imported from foreign language terms are easier for high school students to perceive correct meanings than those of North Korean terms derived from North Korean native language.

지난 호에서도 언급한 바와 같이 컴퓨터용어는 아직 순화단계에 있어 남한에서도 통일된 것이 없고, 같은 영어 낱말을 여러 가지로 사용하는 경우가 많다. 예로 「interrupt」를 정익사판 컴퓨터용어사전에는 「인터럽트」로 영어발음을 그대로 우리말로 표기한 반면, 다른 용어사전에서는 「가로채기」, 「개입중단」등으로 되어 있다. 현재 남한에서 발간 된 컴퓨터용어 관련자료로는 크라운사, 교학사, 대은사 및 정익사 발행의 컴퓨터용어사전과 하이텔 이용자 모임순화안, 서울대 뉴미디어통신공동연구소 HDTV용어사전, 한국과학기술원 인공지능연구센터안, 교육부 편수자료 등이 있고 1993년 1월에 발간된 문화체육부의 전산기 기본용어 순화시안이 최신 것이라 하겠다. 이곳에서는 주로 1990년 정익사에서 출판한 한국정보과학회편 「컴퓨터용어사전」과 1986년 북한의 과학, 백과사전 출판사에서 발간한 전웅편저「전자계산기프로그람용어사전」을 참조하여 비교하였고, 참고로 문화체육부에서 내어놓은 순화시안도 함께 병기하였다. 지면상 모든 용어를 비교한다는 것은 불가능하여 남한과 북한에서 서로 다르게 부르는 용어 중 일부분만을 다음 표에 나열한다.

The purpose of this study was to compare the earth science curriculums of South Korea and North Korea. Aspects such as the content of the curriculums and the timing of learning were analyzed, in order to provide basic data that can be used to design a revised and integrated Korean curriculum. The objects of this study were South Korean Science textbooks from grades 5-9, and the high school Unity of Science and Earth Science I and II textbooks. Additionally, from North Korea, the junior middle school Natural Science 1 and 2 textbooks and the senior middle school Chosun Geography 2 and Geography 1 textbooks were analyzed. The results of this study obtained through an analysis that used the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS 2019) grade 8 earth science assessment framework were as follows. First, South Korea needs to adopt iterative learning. Repetitive learning, which is effective for understanding what is being learned, is applied to only 1 by 8th grade. Second, South Korea needs to adjust the time when certain content is learned. This is because there is a disparity between when content is learned in comparison to North Korea, and the timing of learning of about 50% of the TIMSS standards have not been followed. Third, it is necessary to reflect the content present within the TIMSS that have not been learned. This can be a way to increase the nations' educational competitiveness in the international community. This paper proposed a comparative analysis of South korean and North Korean approaches to the earth science curriculum and conducted practical research to facilitate the construction of an integrated curriculum.
