The purpose of this study is to analyze the locational characteristics and viabilities of township enterprises in Yan bian korean ethnic autonomous district. From the late of 1970s, Chinese township enterprises have heavily contributed to the rapid economic development in China, to alleviating the rural, surplus labor, and to reducing the dispa rity between urban and rural in term of socio-economic condition. From the late 1980s Chinese township enterprises in Yan bian korean ethnic autonomous district have rapidly developed in urban areas and also in the places that were easily accessed into main cities. The locational characteristics implied the management characteristics that attempted to solve the lack of capital and technique, and marketing difficulties through the existed firms in urban areas rather than the accessibility of the market. Chinese township enterprises in Yan bian korean ethnic autonomous district utilized locally available low wage labors of legal agrarian(nung-min-gung) to compete the large firms in urban areas. Township governments positively affected the development of the enterprise in the early stage: while, in the latter stage, they limited the autonomous management. If the economic ,system in China would be changed into the capital in the future, the institution should at low to the maximum autonomous management of township enterprises.

A cyber crime has been evolving, as other crimes have. Beyond physical damages such as financial crimes in the cyber world, it has evolved into psychological forms like cyber-bullying. In today's crimes, measures that consider psychological effects of crimes are highly regarded in that fear of crime is considered as well as visible crimes. Accordingly, cyber bullying, which causes psychological damages, needs to be treated very importantly. Because the characteristics of cyber crime is caused by different circumstances from the real world, measures should be taken in different aspects. Rather than physical damages, which can be found in the conventional crimes, cyber crimes cause psychological damages, so the effect that has on inflicting should be specified. Especially, in the environment that virtual reality is ubiquitous through smart phones, it is very difficult to establish measures by considering all the causes of general cyber crimes. Therefore, this study estimated what affects cyber bullying by focusing on personalized faith factor among social bond theory, which can control cyber crimes. As a result, self-controling faith was verified to have a negative effect on cyber bullying, so faith is a very important factor in personalized environment. Thus, it is suggested that the characteristics of cyber space and education of humanism, which can affect individuals' faith should be emphasized.

Public pension system of western welfare states has been maintained by transfers of public resources between working-age population and old-age population. But population aging cause the problem of fiscal burden on pension financing, so cutback on public spending for the elderly has been on the issue at public agenda. The argument on public spending for the elderly is more aggressively proceeded in the United States than any other welfare states. The argument is concerned with the problems of generation and is going under the rhetoric name of 'Generational Equity' which contends unequal distribution of social resources such as federal budget within generations. This article analyzes the background of 'Generational Equity' perspective and the reason why that argument is actively going forward in the U. S. and political-economy context of that argument. Generational Equity perspective contends that the elderly are getting more benefits and high spending on the elderly has contributing to the rising poverty rate of children. But there are lots of objection to this perspective on the ground that the perspective has weak positive evidences. The reason that 'Generational Equity' perspective has the power only in the U. S. but other welfare states is mainly due to that pluralistic political regime and selective welfare system. This research presents that political-economy meaning of 'Generational Equity' perspective is related to the political regime and welfare system of the society itself. And this research has the implication that our society having a selective welfare system would take a risk of encountering 'Generational Equity' social debate in the near future.

As an industry that serves as a greater catalyst for social and cultural exchange than any other industry, the tourism industry has a strong responsibility toward sustainable management in economic, social, and environmental respects. However, there is a low level of awareness for ESG(environmental, social, governance), and as of now, only companies whose parent company is a large corporation are interested in ESG. Moreover, tourism companies taking part in ESG only focus on the environmental field of ESG. Thus, the present study attempted to understand the current status of ESG research in the tourism field and, based on this understanding, offer a field of research urgently in need. Based on the research results, the study found that awareness studies on the type of ESG management that stakeholder groups take into consideration must take place in advance in order to understand and develop ESG for the tourism industry. Additionally, ESG evaluation variables that reflect the characteristics of the tourism industry must be developed. Lastly, strategies and techniques that objectively disclose ESG management activities are necessary based on a disclosure strategy presented by GRI(Global Reporting Initiative).

Platform contrasts with traditional industry in terms of innovativeness as it is rapidly developing with information technology. To redeem preceding researches which have separately focused on either platform acceptance based on technology acceptance model or resistance factors against platform's innovation, this study applied dual factor theory to check the simultaneous influence of enablers and inhibitors on resistance. This study chose purchasers of online used trading platform as a subject of study since it contrasts with other platforms in many characteristics. Based on preceding studies, the moderating effects of their past purchase numbers on the relations between resistance and use intention were also checked. The findings reveal that economic benefit as an enabler had significant negative influence on the resistance, but social influence didn't have expected influence. In case of inhibitors, both perceived complexity and perceived risk had significant positive influence on the resistance. Though resistance had significant negative influence on the use intention, its influence was moderated into the positive direction as users' purchase number increased. Lastly, resistance had mediation effect between antecedent factors (economic benefit and perceived complexity) and use intention.

해저터널은 태풍, 폭우 등과 같은 악천후에도 안정적으로 자국내 도서지역 및 인접국가간 교통 및 물류수송체계 운용을 가능하게 하는 주요 사회기반시설로서 활용되어왔다. 이러한 해저터널 프로젝트를 안전하고 경제적으로 수행하기 위해서는 해저터널의 공학적 특성을 정확하게 이해하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 이에 해저터널의 지반조사를 중심으로 전반적으로 언급하였다. 해저터널은 육상터널과는 달리 조사, 설계 및 시공단계에 있어 많은 불확실성과 위험성을 가지고 있으므로, 프로젝트의 특성에 맞는 정밀하고 정확한 조사는 해저터널의 성공여부를 좌우할 수 있다. 따라서 계획단계에서 철저한 문헌조사 연구 및 해저지형, 지질구조 등에 대한 이해를 기반으로 해저지반 조사계획을 수립 및 수행하여야 한다. 또한 해저터널의 특성상 완벽한 지반조사는 불가능하므로 광범위한 조사에도 불구하고 사전에 예상치 못한 불량한 지반조건을 마주칠 가능성이 크므로, 불확실성과 위험성을 염두에 두고 설계 및 시공에 임하여야 한다.
