Recently, child abuse cases such as the "16-month death of adopted children" have occurred one after another in our society and have emerged as a serious social problem. Child abuse not only significantly violates children's human rights, but also leaves scars on the child's body and sometimes threatens their lives. As a result, laws related to child abuse have been revised several times and related systems have been reorganized to protect the affected children safely and grow healthy, but child abuse cases continue to occur. Therefore, it is urgent to come up with effective measures to prevent child abuse crimes and protect affected children. Therefore, this study examines the concept and related laws of child abuse, the current status of child abuse, and suggests countermeasures to effectively respond to child abuse compared to the US child abuse legislation and child protection system.

Our society has an obligation and responsibility to respect and protect the character of the child. Recently, however, Korean society has been suffering from child abuse and abuse that is pouring out every day. In order to protect these children, the child protection system and the judicial system should be fundamentally child-friendly. The CASA(Court Appointed Special Advocates) volunteer program, which is being held in the United States with such a concern, is a continuing program of court attendance and emotional support services for abused children throughout the United States. In Korea, however, there are many similar programs such as mentoring projects, dream co-supporters project similar to the CASA program in various organizations of the region and the enactment of the Act on the Punishment of Child Abuse increases the involvement of the public system in child abuse. There is also an increased awareness of children's rights and strengthened government intervention through active monitoring to prevent recurrence of child abuse. These changes in the Korean society should be actively reviewed by the US CASA program and settled as a national project in the Korean society so that the system of protecting the safety and rights of the victims of child abuse will be established. It is anticipated to be a way to prevent social problems from occurring in advance.

The purpose of this study was to realize volunteer fire departments' historical identity through a review of the transition process from the quickening period of volunteer fire departments to the enactment of the volunteer fire department act in 2014, establish it newly from the viewpoint of changing the basic theoretical concepts, and seek a development plan. For this, the technical approach method was used based on the research method of literature searches. The result of the study established the definition as 'volunteer fire departments are legal auxiliary organizations composed by local residents who volunteer and understand one another with their independent and voluntary will to prepare for all kinds of disasters as well as fire suppression, rescue, and first aid.' and the installation ideology as 'leading service organizations of safety as a form of community involvement', 'resident-friendly organizational activities based on autonomous operational operation' and 'the activities of supplementing their demands according to the realization of social welfare and regional conditions'. Regarding the characteristics, the basic theoretical concept was newly established by 'voluntary participation', 'social expandability', 'the realization and complementation of social welfare', and 'professionalism and possibilities'. In addition it is expected that the results of this study can be utilized as the basic materials in studies of volunteer fire departments in the future.

21세기라는 새로운 세기를 맞이하여 콘크리트 산업계는 시대의 변화에 부합하는 경영 방침이나 기술력이 요구되었으며 지금 까지 보다 더욱 힘든 환경을 맞고 있다고 생각된다. 예를 들어 환경 문제는 1992년의 환경과 개발에 관한 UN회의를 계기로 지구온난화, 해양오염, 산성비, 오존층 파괴, 열대림의 감소, 사막화 등에 대한 국제적인 관심이 커지고 있어서 21세기는 환경의 세기가 될 것으로 보이며 이에 따른 신속한 대책 수립이 요구되고 있는 시점에 와있다. 또한 자원 리사이클링과 환경에 관련된 각종 법령 등이 국가 차원, 혹은 지방 자치단체 차원에서 제정되고 있어 이에 대한 대응 방안이 요구되고 있다. 더욱이 여러 사회단체나 NGO 등의 압력으로 각종 공공사업의 수행에 있어서도 기본 이념인 편리성, 안전성, 내구성 공평성, 투명성 등에 덧붙여서 공해. 미관. 생태계, 건강, 복지, 문화 유산 등에 대한 배려도 요구되고 있으며 적용이 이루어지고 있는 추세이다.(중략)

As city functions develop more complex and advanced, interests in smart cities are also increasing. Smart cities refer to the cities effectively solving urban problems such as traffic, safety, welfare, and living issues by utilizing ICT. Recently, many countries are attempting to introduce big data, Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence into smart cities, but they have not yet developed into comprehensive urban services. In this paper, we review the current status of domestic and overseas smart cities and suggest ways to solve issues of data sharing and service compatibility. To this end, we propose a "Deep Learning City Framework" that incorporates the deep learning technology into smart city services, and propose a new smart city strategy that safely shares spatial and temporal data in cities and converges learning data of various cities.
