Small-scale hydropower systems offer several advantages compared to other alternatives as an important source of energy in both developed and developing countries. This study proposes systematic criteria for screening of small-scale hydropower sites to determine their potential for farther study, and demonstrates the general procedure. These criteria are based on the physical characteristics of the sites and their social, environmental and economic aspects. The procedure presented shows great flexibility for screening based on the availability of information and situation at the site.

우리나라는 매년 반복되는 가뭄으로 사회·경제적 피해가 발생하고 있다. 정부에서는 가뭄에 대응하기 위한 대응방안을 마련하고, 지방자치단체 및 유관기관을 중심으로 용수배분 등을 위한 가뭄 대비 훈련을 시행하고 있다. 그러나 가뭄 훈련을 준비하고, 계획하기 위한 가뭄 특성을 반영한 훈련 기준이 미비한 실정으로 가뭄 훈련을 위한 기준의 필요성이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 미국의 가뭄 훈련 현황을 조사·분석하여 시사점을 검토하고, 국내 가뭄 훈련을 위한 절차를 제시하였다. 미국은 가뭄 시나리오를 기반으로 가뭄 훈련을 할 수 있도록 제시하고 있다. 가뭄 피해 및 가뭄 대비를 위한 사항을 제시하고 있으며, 워크숍, 게임, 도상훈련, 기능 훈련 등의 훈련 종류를 제시하고 있다. 또한, 훈련을 시행하는 데 필요한 고려사항을 제시하고 있어, 체계적인 훈련 계획의 수립이 가능하도록 하고 있다. 미국의 사례를 검토한 결과 가뭄 훈련 계획 수립을 위한 기초지식부터, 훈련의 종류, 훈련시 고려사항, 훈련계획 수립 절차를 체계적으로 제시하고 있다. 그러나 우리나라는 모든 재난 유형에 대한 범용적인 훈련 지침을 제시하고 있어, 가뭄으로 인한 피해 대응의 특수성을 반영하지 못한 한계를 가지고 있다. 본 연구에는 미국 사례 분석 결과를 바탕으로 훈련 계획을 수립하기 위한 절차를 제시하였으며, 가뭄이라는 재난의 특수성을 반영하고, 훈련을 좀 더 내실있고, 체계적으로 추진하기 위한 가뭄 훈련 지침이 필요한 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of the middle aged's perception of successful aging on their preparations for the old age. We used data from 350 participants, aged 35-64 in Seoul-Gyonggi region. The hierachial regression analysis estimated the relation between the middle aged's perception on successful aging and their preparations for the old age. The findings indicate that the middle aged's level of preparations for the old age was slightly higher than average. The level of their emotional preparation appeared highest and the level of economical preparation showed lowest. The perception of successful aging indicated relatively high, and especially the level of comfortable everyday life showed highest. The results also showed that personal characteristics influencing on preparations for the old age were sex, age, marriage status, religion, occupation, monthly income, health condition, level of plan for the old age, and social activities frequency, and demonstrated that the perception of successful aging effected on preparations for the old age positively.

우리나라는 국토의 60% 이상이 산지로 이루어져 있다. 최근 산지하천 유역에서 발생한 홍수와 토석류 등에 의해 많은 인적 물적 피해가 발생하고 있다. 현재 산지하천 유역은 유량자료에 비해 강우관측 자료는 비교적 많이 축적되어있으며, 최근에는 레이더를 이용한 강우관측도 지속적으로 이루어져 강우특성을 분석하는 것은 용이하다. 이에 비해서 산지하천 유역의 하천 유량에 대한 자료는 부족하거나 자료가 있더라도 결측치가 많고 보유연한이 분석에 필요한 만큼 충분하지 못하다. 또한 산지하천 유역의 유출특성을 분석하기 위해서는 강우관측 자료와 수위자료로부터 환산된 유량자료가 필수적인 인자이나 산지하천 유역의 수위관측소는 설치 및 유지관리 등의 어려움으로 인하여 유량자료가 상대적으로 부족한 실정이다. 이와 같은 제약을 해소하기 위해서는 많은 비용과 시간이 소요되므로 단 시간 내에 해결하는 것은 쉬운 일이 아니다. 따라서 유역의 물리적 특성을 이용하여 임의의 지점의 설계홍수량을 손쉽고, 정확하게 산정할 수 있다면 산지유역의 홍수와 토석류에 의해 발생하는 홍수 피해에 대한 대책을 마련하는데 큰 도움이 될 것이다. 일반적인 통계적 회귀분석은 여러 분야에서 널리 적용되고 있으나, 산지하천 유역의 강우-유출해석의 경우 관측자료의 수가 적고 발생하는 사상이 애매한 경우가 많아 일반적인 통계학적 선형 회귀분석을 적용하는 데 어려움이 많다. 이와 같은 어려움을 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 fuzzy regression 기법을 사용하였다. Fuzzy regression 기법의 하나인 possibilistic 모형을 사용하여 주어진 관측값과 산정값의 오차를 최소화함으로써 모형의 fuzziness를 최소화하였다. fuzzy regression 기법을 사용하면 변수들 간의 애매한 관계를 쉽게 해석하고 관측값과 산정값의 오차를 최소화하여 연구목적에 적합한 결과를 도출할 수 있다. 산지유역에서 발생하는 홍수는 많은 인명 및 재산피해뿐 아니라 사회 및 경제적 측면, 환경 및 생태계 그리고 인간의 정신적인 측면까지도 깊이 영향을 미친다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제안한 fuzzy regression 기법을 사용한 홍수량 산정기법을 통해 임의 지점의 빈도별 설계홍수량을 보다 신속하고 정확하게 산정하여 수공구조물의 설계에 적용하면 집중호우에 의해 발생하는 피해를 최소할 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Using the Korea Labor Institute Panel Study(KLIPS), this study investigates the impacts of water pollution on life satisfaction in Korea. Panel random-effects ordered probit model is used to consider the ordered property of life satisfaction data and heterogeneity of panel data. The proxy variables to reflect the degree of water pollution are biochemical oxygen demand(BOD) and total phosphorus(TP). In addition to the environmental variables above, other determinants used in various studies on life satisfaction such as economic, social, and demographic characteristics are included. Estimation results show that water pollution is negative and significant for life satisfaction. Other indicators such as income, age, house ownership, gender, education are positively related while urban residence and own business are shown to be negatively related.

In modern society, the number of one-person households is increasing significantly. In particular, one-person households have rapidly increased around local small and medium-sized cities. This study examines the characteristics of local small and medium-sized cities by factor and cluster analysis. Analysis of variance are applied to the characteristics of one-person household in different local cities to find the relationship between different types of cities and the characteristics of one-person households. As a result of the study, local small and medium-sized cities are classified into growth stagnation cities, industrial leading cities, regional base cities, and population outflow cities. It is also found that there are several different types of local cities based on the characteristics of one-person households. The growth stagnation city is a city where the regional economy is revitalized due to the development of regional industries in the past. One-person households have a small age group in their 30s and 40s, which are the basis of industrial activities. They have a high proportion of older generation living in more than three rooms in their homes. It is necessary to supply long-term public rental housing and share houses for older generation. The leading city of the industry is a city where the local economy is revitalized as workers are concentrated. One-person households are evenly distributed among all age groups, and the apartment occupancy rate is the highest compared to other types. It is necessary to provide happy housing for youth generation and reconstruction or renovation housing of manhood generation. The regional base city leads the regional base function and the regional economy, but it has reduced workers. Many of one-person households are younger than 30 years old and college educated. They are also high rate of unmarried and live at one room as rental houses. It is needed to expand the supply of small houses such as apartments, officetels and rented houses for youth generation. The population outflow city has a slow local economy and a rural residential environment. It is found that the households of one-person households have high rate of bereavement and the age. They live more than four rooms in single-family homes. It is necessary not only to provide welfare housing but also to create a sound residential environment where cultural exchange is possible.

This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the Health Locus of Control (HLC), social support (SS), self-efficacy (SE) and Health Promoting Behavior (HPB) in middle-aged adults and the factors influencing their HPB. Data were collected from 137 middle-aged adults in the cities of Chungbuk and Chungnam for 2 months from July to August 2016 using structured questionnaires. The data collected were analyzed by descriptive statistics, the t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlations, and multiple regression analysis. The results showed that the HPB varied significantly according to the subjective health (F=10.14, p<.001) and economic level (F=3.32, p= .039) among the general characteristics. In the relationship between the major variables, the HPB showed a significant positive correlation with the SE (r=.44, p<.001) and SS (r=.45, p<.001). A multiple regression analysis was conducted to examine the effects of the general characteristics, HLC, SE, and SS on the HPB, and the results showed that the factors influencing the HPB were the subjective health status (${\beta}=.24$, p=.002), SE (${\beta}=.29$, p<.001), and SS (${\beta}=.30$, p<.001), and these factors showed a combined explanatory power of 36.4%. The results of this study suggest that the SE and SS are important factors affecting the HPB. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and apply a health promotion program reflecting the SE and SS, in order to (promote) the (HPB) of middle-aged adults.

The present study was to explore the suicide from the perspective of cultural psychology. The result was that: First, the main reason to commit the familial suicide in korea is due to cultural characteristic. Korean people does not think the relationship of parents and children is separate or independent. So, When they can not bring up their child, Korean parents commit the familial suicide. Second, many people commit suicide not individual problems but interpersonal problems. This result reveal that Korean people think relationship between the people is very important. Third, there art too many alcohol problem in korea. The reason is generous attitude about alcohol problem. Fourth, suicide of man due to economic problem on the other hand, women due to personal health problem. The reason of this is cultural characteristics of korea. In traditional Korean culture, the family responsibility rest with man and the household affairs responsibility rest with women. Also, it is suggested that further psychological researches must be performed in the serious consideration of the indigeneous characteristics of Korean culture.

The problems of unemployment have been recognized as male problems even though the female unemployment problems are as significant as those of men since IMF. The women who have experienced insecure employment and lower wage than men in the labor market are having more serious economic difficulties after being unemployed. Especially economic problems of the unemployed female headed families are anticipated to be tremendous because the female heads do not have spouses who can act as a buffer seeking or beginning to work to reduce economic hardship. The purpose of this paper is to compare living conditions and utilization of the unemployment programs between male and female heads of the family who are unemployed and discouraged workers. It will examine the functionalism, human capital theory, and feminist perspectives on the cause of female unemployment in order to help understanding of their living situations after being unemployed. Then, it will compare the socio-demographic characteristics, their economic activities before being unemployed, their living conditions and changes in family life after being unemployed, their efforts to overcome unemployment and utilization of various government unemployment programs. It used the national data of National Unemployment Survey of Korean Institute of Health and Social Affairs conducted in 1998 and analyzed 283 female and 1,528 male family heads who are unemployed and discouraged workers. It reveals that the female family heads experienced lower economic status in the labor market before being unemployed, are having more serious economic hardship because of it, utilize more of the government programs such as public work and public assistance than the male family heads but less of the public loans for the unemployed. It recommends expansion of public work and public assistance, more vigorous advertisement of various unemployment programs, and active training of job creation technique for female family heads.

Housing market is segmented through 1) housing supply classified by housing characteristics and 2) housing demand classified by different housing opportunity of household. Moreover, neighborhood plays a role in intensifying housing market segmentation as a factor affecting on decision making relevant to housing supply and demand. while segmented housing markets have different mechanism, existing studies on residential differentiation and housing market have overlooked the characteristic differences among housing submarkets as the studies presume metropolitan housing market to be a single housing market. while the concept of 'residential differentiation' pays much attention on spatial pattern after the ecological approach appeared, the concept of ‘housing submarkets' is explanatory of the process of urban space structure formation. Analysis on housing submarkets makes up for the weak points of the behavioral approach inquiring into socio-economic constraint and different housing opportunity of household.
