This report was the result of Food and Nutrition Intake Survey of 210 adults of 43 rural households in 7 villages located on Kyung Nam, Korea. It was intended to provide baseline information on the nutrintional status and inequality, the change of food consumption pattern of different rural socioeconomic classes. The survey results were as follows; 1. All the nutrient intakes(except Ca) were above RDA in landlord classes, but those were extremely poor in tenancy and rural laborer classes. Ca was the most deficient nutrient in all classes. 'Vitamin A' was deficient in most of the classes. 2. In per capita food consumption expenditure, the highest was in landlord class, next capitalist farmer and middle class farmer, the lowest were rural laborer and tenancy. There were highest consumption of vegetables and fish in landlord class, and milks and oils in capitalist farmer. The consumption of rice fruits, meats, eggs, and seasoning were relatively proportionated to the income. 3. In the change of food consumption, the most increased items were beverages and meats in capitalist farmer, fish and fruits in landlord, rice in the other classes. 4. In the correlation with food consumption, education level showed the highest correlation with meats, oils, and in contrast, land sire showed the highest correlation with cereals. Engel's coefficient was positively correlated to cereals, but negatively correlated to fish and meats.

The current study aimed to examine the gender differences in trajectories of nine successful aging indicators (chronic disease, depression, activities of daily living, instrumental activities of daily living, mini mental state examination, social activity, personal contact, health satisfaction, and general life satisfaction) with age, controlling the effect of education. The data were from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging, which had been conducted biennially from 2006 to 2016. The sample included 822 men and 1,236 women who responded to all of the panel surveys and were 65 years old or above in 2006. Multilevel modeling analyses showed that older men had fewer chronic diseases; lower levels of depression; higher levels of activities of daily living, cognitive function, and social activity; and better perceived health satisfaction and general life satisfaction at age 65 years compared to women. However, both men and women showed increase in the number of chronic diseases and depression level, and decrease in physical, cognitive, and social functions with age. In addition, perceived health and life satisfaction also decreased after the age of 65. The trajectories of most of the indicators were non-linear, and markedly increased or decreased around mid-70s. Study limitations and implications were further discussed.

최근 하천관리 정책은 단편적인 홍수방어뿐만 아니라 맑은 물을 안전하게 확보하고 건강한 생태계가 유지되는 하천으로 관리하는 방향에 주안점을 두고 있다. 그러나 치수 목적의 하천관리 기술에 비하여 하천환경관리를 위한 기술은 요소기술 개발 및 적용으로 산재되어 있어, 체계가 정립되지 못하고 실무 적용에서도 활용에 한계가 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 치수, 이수, 하천환경 목적의 다차원 하천관리를 위하여 하천복원의 기술적 체계를 기술수준의 정도를 기준으로 단계별로 정립하였다. 첫 단계는 수문특성, 수리특성, 하상변동/유사특성, 생물/화학특성의 분석이다. 이 단계에서는 각 특성의 현황과 하천복원 방법에 따른 물리특성 변화를 분석하는 것이다. 다음 단계는 하천복원에 따른 정량적인 기대효과 분석이다. 수위저감 및 안정하도 확보, 수질개선, 생물서식처 효과분석 등이 수행된다. 마지막 단계는 하천복원 등의 관리계획에 의한 기대효과 전망이다. 사회경제적 가치, 생물종 다양성 확대가치 등이 분석항목에 포함된다. 각 단계에서는 계량 가능한 지표를 설정하여 계획의 성과를 비교한다. 제안된 다차원 하천복원 기술적 프레임웍을 통해 하천사업에 따른 물리, 생물, 사회, 경제 등 다양한 분야의 구조를 통합한 방법론을 제시함으로써 하도개선 위주의 획일적인 하천복원사업에 변화를 주고, 더 나아가 하천공간 복원 등 적극적인 하천복원사업이 활성화되길 기대한다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of participation in a forest program on the level of depression changes in the participants. Total of 501 university students residing in the middle province of Korea were administered Beck Depression Inventory(BDI). Among them, 32 students were selected as participants of the program based on the scores of the BDI. A 5-day forest program included climbing, sharing experience with others and so on. Pre and post tests control group research design was employed for this study, with BDI measures taken from each of 32 participants on three time frames : 2 weeks before the program, immediately before participation, and immediately after participation. BDI scores were expected to decrease as a result of forest program participation. The study results supported this hypothesis.

It is well known that health and psychosocial factors are closely associated with depressive symptoms. Due to limitations in available data and analysis methods, however, little is known about the effects of health and psychosocial factors on depression trajectory. In order to address the limitations, this study examines the predictors of depression trajectory using latent growth curve modeling involving individuals aged 60 and over who participated in the Korean Welfare Panel Study (N=4,919). Controlling for socioeconomic variables, health and psychosocial variables were cross-sectionally associated with depressive symptoms, which is consistent with previous findings. However, the effects of health and psychosocial variables on the rate of depressive symptom change varied. Health variables were significantly associated with the levels of depressive symptoms at wave 1, but these were not significantly associated with the rate of depressive symptoms change. By contrast, although psychosocial variables were significantly associated with depressive symptoms at wave 1, the effects of psychosocial variables on the rate of depressive symptom change varied. Specifically, while self-esteem and family relationship were positively associated with the rate of depressive symptom change, social relationship was negatively associated with the rate of depressive symptom change. Based on the findings, this study discussed implications for intervention and future research.

Objectives: This study aimed to estimate the trajectory of depressive symptoms among aged 20 years adults and examine the direct and indirect pathway linking socioeconomic status(education attainment, household income, occupation), alcohol use and depressive symptoms. It particularly focused on whether alcohol use would mediate the relationship between socioeconomic status and depressive symptoms. Methods: This study analysed 13,763 households of Korean Welfare Panel Study 1st, 2nd, 3rd data using Latent Growth Curve Modeling. Results: The results showed that study participants tend to decrease depressive symptoms with years. Similar to the findings of the previous studies, education attainment and household income among the socioeconomic status factors effected directly depressive symptoms and indirectly by mediating alcohol volume controlling sex and age. Conclusions: Based on findings of this study, the policy and practical implications were discussed.

The objective of this paper is to quantify economic values of parcel service attributes (safety, reliability, quickness, and kindness and customer service) using the contingent choice method and to investigate impact factors (such as sex, age, and education), which influence choice of desirable parcel services. As empirical results, the marginal willingness-to-pay for multiple attributes of parcel service is calculated as about 2,349.6 KRW for the safety attribute, about 829.3 KRW for the reliability attribute, about 588.5 KRW for the quickness attribute, and about 358.8 KRW for the kindness and customer service attribute, according to the estimation model without covariates. The overall results indicate that the safety attribute ranks highest among parcel service attributes, followed by the reliability attribute, quickness attribute, and kindness and customer service attribute. These results can be useful in the decision-making process for establishing desirable pricing policies for parcel service.

가뭄은 발생과정과 피해영향에 따라서 기상학적, 농업적, 수문학적, 사회경제적 가뭄으로 구분되고 있다. 강수의 부족은 기상학적 가뭄을 발생시키고, 기상학적 가뭄이 지속되면 토양수분 부족으로 농작물의 피해를 가져오는 농업적 가뭄이 나타난다. 이어서, 지표 및 지표 아래의 수자원량이 평년수준 이하로 감소하면서 수문학적 가뭄이 발생한다. 이와 같이 다른 종류의 가뭄으로 가뭄이 변화하는 현상을 가뭄 전이(Drought Propagation)라고 한다. 강수량의 부족만으로 판단되는 기상학적 가뭄은 가뭄 상황의 판단은 간단지만, 체감으로 느끼는 가뭄과 차이가 존재한다. 수문학적 가뭄은 실제 물이용과 관련이 높아 효율적인 물 관리를 위해서는 수문학적 가뭄에 대한 정보가 필요하다. 하지만 수문학적 가뭄은 기상학적 인자들뿐만 아니라 수문순환과정의 영향을 받아 가뭄의 발생과정이 복잡하기 때문에 판단 및 예측이 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 가뭄의 전이관계를 도출함으로써, 기상학적 가뭄에서 수문학적 가뭄으로 발전되는 가뭄의 크기를 파악하고자 한다. 가뭄은 판단기준에 따라서 다양하게 정의될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 기상학적 가뭄은 강우량으로, 수문학적 가뭄은 유역별 댐의 저수율, 유입량 및 지하수위를 활용하여 가뭄을 정의하며, 가뭄사상은 임계수준방법(threshold level approach)과 풀링기법(pooling method)을 수문기상 변수들에 적용하여 추출하였다. 수문학적 가뭄은 기상학적 가뭄이 발생한 이후, 가뭄 상황이 일정기간 지속되는 상황에 발생하는 결과가 확인되었다. 기상학적 가뭄에서 수문학적 가뭄이 전이되는 현상을 바탕으로 기상학적 가뭄의 상황에 따라서 미래의 수문학적 가뭄의 변화 양상에 대하여 예측가능하며, 가뭄의 전이관계는 수문학적 가뭄의 예측을 위한 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study is primarily to investigate the alienation process that constitutes the regional identity of the border region in Kyunggi Province. It both discusses the concept of social exclusion and its application for a theoretical framework and examines patterns and formation of the alienation process based on the field survey. The empirical results show that the alienation process which defines the border region as a geography of place poverty and exclusion has been deepened through economic, social, cultural and spatial processes. In terms of material well-being and social participation, especially, the alienation is shown to form in every aspect of people's lives in the border region. The alienation gives rise to the cultural stigmatization which first builds up negative images of the region and then aggravates region's development potential as well as its future prospect. In addition, the alienation in the context of the border region turns out to be unique compared to major characteristics of other backward regions as well as quite spatially differentiated across the border region in Kyunggi Province.

The intelligent information society is expected to drastically change our lives. The purpose of this content is to derive tasks in the field of media education for the elderly for the realization of digital inclusion in an intelligent information society. To this end, the vision, goals, strategies, and tasks of the intelligent information society were examined through the 6th National Informatization Basic Plan(2018~2022) and the 2022 Education Informatization White Paper(2022). In addition, the current status of the digital gap among the elderly classified as vulnerable groups was identified through the results of the 2022 Digital Information Gap Survey. In order to ease the digital information gap between the elderly in the intelligent information society, it is believed that the development of intelligent media education services using intelligent information technology, provision of media education services for the elderly through learning online service channels, and support for digital intelligent media education for the elderly are necessary.
