Literature on cluster theory and cluster policy has been focused on the differences between mature industrial areas and innovative regions. Mature industrial areas are described as possessing little competence for innovation and lacking entrepreneurship to be transferred an innovative region, say, an innovative cluster. Old industrial regions are, however, rich in social capital, local networking, and regional institutionalization. This paper compares Buchon's mature industries with Daejon's bio-sector new start-ups in terms of innovative potential, socio-economic and cultural-economic mechanisms. Policy implications such as networking and business support systems on the differential types of industrial regions are offered.

The research was performed responding to the growing needs of Korean foster care programs. It deals specifically with the people who voluntarily provide foster care despite the lack of Government support. The research has also made an effort to understand how the foster parents perceive their parent roles for the foster children. According to the research results based on the parents from the H foster care center, it showed that foster parents generally come from higher educational backgrounds compared to their equivalent age group and also similar or even higher income levels than the average family residing in an urban area. Conclusively, their traits in socio-demographic factors is said to be homogeneous. The research also focused on examining the role perceptions of Korean foster parents. The foster parents were well aware and educated on the significance of the children's psychological adjustments. However, the research recognized some role responsibilities that the parents failed to understand. Hopefully the foster care centers will take on such responsibilities and contribute in helping the parents realize their insufficiencies. Based on the results of the research, the researcher was able to recognize the important issues involved in the recruitment, selection, and education process for the foster parents. Additionally, new role adjustments are necessary among both foster parents and foster centers.

Under the 'Sustainability Paradigm', the building maintenance system is getting more important because more efficient maintenance means more sustainable building. This paper aims at improving present building maintenance system by comparing with the foreign developed countries' systems. The comparing countries are selected according to the level of building maintenance. As the results, 4 countries including USA, England, Germany, and Japan become the benchmark. The results show that building maintenance regulations are various by social, economic, and cultural characteristics. In addition, though building maintenance policy must be established, first of all, the related regulations and policy targets are prepared before the enforcement of maintenance regulation. The results provide some policy implications: 1. Building maintenance must be controled under the condition that a building can guarantee the safety of people and function of it. 2. Building maintenance system should contribute to the desirable urban environment and architectural culture.

It is essential to build a integrated database (DB) to grasp the present status and various analysis of the economic, social and cultural sectors of local governments and to provide various inquiries on the status data of the local governments according to the purpose of analysis. This study proposed a design method of the integrated DB which can support the inquiry and analysis of the data by the local government. The integrated DB should cover a wide range of heterogeneous data on the economic, social and cultural activities of local governments, and it is necessary to design a schema that can integrate the entire data considering differences between local governments and data elements. The data should be structured in accordance with the characteristics, and it should be possible to inquire related data comprehensively through the search through the keywords. In addition, data retrieval and downloading functions are indispensable for the researcher to easily retrieve data necessary for research purpose and to download and modify data for analysis.

This study examined the influence of communication between families and self-esteem on the depression mood of the elderly, and provides basic data for a depression care program. For those purposes, a questionnaire was developed based on the literature regarding the depression mood. To achieve the research aim, the surveys were conducted in Seoul, Gyenggi-do for 420 elderly people from April to May 2014. The results of the hypothesis testing were as follows. The degree of depression was increased significantly in the elderly with economic factors, factor in family relationships, health factors, and social factors. According to hierarchical regression analysis, a significant mediating effect was found with communication between families and self-esteem on the depression mood of the elderly. Therefore, the characteristics of the elderly individual communication between families and the increase in self-esteem, which can be specifically institutional, social and administrative unit and financial support should be considered.

This study surveyed 252 senior citizens in the Chungnam and Chungbuk regions to review the effects that information use has on quality of life. Participants were divided into two sub-groups based on household types. Data was analyzed using PASW Statistics 18.0. Major findings are as follows: First, information use, mental and psychological health, as well a&s social relationships found in study subjects were significantly higher among seniors not living alone. Second, factors that influence the quality of life were found to be same for each group, but significantly different for their influence of each group. Factors that influence the quality of life were found to be economic status, information use, and education level. Factors that influence the quality of life in elderly living alone were found to be economic status, education level, information use. Based on these findings, the study presents practical and integrated measures to help the original objective of this research to be achieved.

This study attempts to examine the process of place-making, to define the role and interrelationship of the subjects and to analyze the placeness of the 'Kim Gwang-seok Road', a representative example of artificial place-making. Through a 10-year urban regeneration project based on the concept of Kim Gwang-seok, the alleyway between Bangcheon Market and the retaining wall of Sincheon-daero has been embedded as a memorial space for Kim Gwang-seok and an cultural art space. However, the existing placeness has weakened as the result of the excessive tourism in the late 2010s, while the characteristics of cultural commercial space has strengthened. This change in place has prompted community disintegration, which has caused the loss of momentum for sustainable development. To overcome these problems, it will be necessary to establish endogenous governance to expand and reproduce existing community capabilities, embedded social capital and place assets in new directions.

가뭄은 다른 자연재해에 비해 진행 속도가 느리고 발생 시작 시기가 명확하지 않다. 또한 피해지역이 광범위하다는 점에서 사회, 경제적 피해와 농업 생산 시스템 및 수확량 등 농업 전반에 걸쳐 직접적인 영향을 미치고 있다. 전지구적 기후변화로 인해 국내의 가뭄 발생빈도는 2000년 이후 증가하고 있으며, 가뭄의 정량적 분석은 선제적 가뭄 대응을 위해 필요하다. 현재 국내에서는 여러 유관기관에서 지상 관측 데이터를 활용하여 가뭄을 모니터링하고, 가뭄 공간 분포 지도를 제공하고 있다. 하지만 지상 관측 데이터를 통한 가뭄 분포 지도는 미계측 지역에 대한 데이터 취득이 어렵고, 지형학적 특성을 고려하지 못하는 한계점이 있다. 이러한 한계점을 보완하기 위해 수자원 및 재해 분야에서 위성영상이 활용되고 있다. 위성영상을 활용한 가뭄 판단 및 예측에는 정규식생지수 (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, NDVI)가 사용되고 있으며, 식생지수는 가뭄 발생, 진행 등에 있어 즉각적인 반응이 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 잠재 증발산과 실제 증발산의 비를 이용해 산정된 위성영상 기반 가뭄 지수인 Evaporative Stress Index (ESI)를 활용하였다. NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration)에서 제공하는 ESI는 전지구를 대상으로 5km 해상도로 제공하고 있다. 하지만 국내 가뭄 판단을 위해서는 높은 해상도의 영상이 필요하며, 본 연구에서는 MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) 영상을 활용한 ESI의 산정을 통해 해상도의 문제를 개선하고자 한다. 산정한 500m 해상도의 ESI는 기존 5km 해상도의 ESI와 비교 검증하였으며, SPI 및 과거 가뭄 발생 현황 자료를 근거로 ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristics) 분석을 통해 시군 단위 농업가뭄평가의 적용성을 확인하고 한다.

In order to meet the ever-increasing demand for international air travel, several plans are underway to open new airports and expand existing provincial airports. However, existing air demand forecasts have been based on the total air demand in Korea or the air demand among major cities. There is not much forecast of regional air demand considering local characteristics. In this study, the outbound air travel demand in the southeastern region of Korea was analyzed and the fixed-effects model using panel data was proposed as an optimal model that can reflect the inherent characteristics of metropolitan areas which are difficult to observe in reality. The results of model validation show that panel data analysis effectively addresses the spurious regression and unobserved heterogeneity that are difficult to handle in a model using only a few macroeconomic indicators with time series characteristics. Various statistical validation and conformance tests suggest that the fixed-effects model proposed in this study is superior to other econometric models in predicting demand for international demand in the southeastern region.
