This paper starts from one question: what are the key factors of the web accessibility policy, which is significant for realizing equity in the web and enhancing human dignity in the information society. To find significant factors for complying with web accessibility, this paper analyzes panel data of 16 Korean local governments (for five years: 2004-2009) according to the research design which is based on the demand and supply balance model and consists of four variables : 'legal and institutional environment (including legal infrastructure)', 'financial foundation (fiscal self-reliance ratio)', 'policy inputs (amount of imformatization budget, employee of information experts)'and 'policy demand (internet usage rate, the number of disabled people and elderly people)'. From the results of this study, this paper can explain the mechanism and impact factors on the web accessibility policy of Korean local governments. Some factors are critical to improve web accessibility: (1) the importance of policy demand, (2) the importance of policy inputs, (3) the importance of legal and institutional environment. Finally, this paper concludes with some suggestions to enhance the web accessibility capacity for Korean local governments: (1) improve awareness on web accessibility, (2) develop a standard and invest R&D on web accessibility, (3) foster experts in web accessibility.

Social obligation of a nation must be assigned to the people, legally belong to the nation. The Republic of Korea assigns a social obligation to the Koreans, the Military Service which is regulated by the Constitution of the Republic of Korea and the Military Service Law of Korea. However, behind the law, a serious discussion, the rationality and equity, is possibly discovered from the reality of the military service system against athletes of Korea. The purpose of this study was to analyze the military service system against athletes of Korea based on the Constitution of Republic of Korea and the Military Service Law of Korea. Three proposals, prohibit duplicated benefits of athletes, military service evasion after care system and keeping the military and police sport organization as nonprofessional, to recover the institutional problems regarding the equity and rationality were suggested in the end of this research. With the results, this research hopefully contribute to the development of sport law, fundamental obligation with sports and the military service system on athletes in Korea.

This study attempted to analyze the environmental equity of fine dust(PM₁₀) in Daegu using MGWR(Multi-scale Geographically Weighted Regression) and KT(Korea Telecom Corporation) sensor data. Existing national monitoring network data for measuring fine dust are collected at a small number of ground-based stations that are sparsely distributed in a large area. To complement these drawbacks, KT sensor data with a large number of IoT(Internet of Things) stations densely distributed were used in this study. The MGWR model was used to deal with spatial heterogeneity and multi-scale contextual effects in the spatial relationships between fine dust concentration and socioeconomic variables. Results indicate that there existed an environmental inequity by land value and foreigner ratio in the spatial distribution of fine dust in Daegu metropolitan city. Also, the MGWR model showed better the explanatory power than Ordinary Least Square(OLS) and Geographically Weighted Regression(GWR) models in explaining the spatial relationships between the concentration of fine dust and socioeconomic variables. This study demonstrated the potential of KT sensor data as a supplement to the existing national monitoring network data for measuring fine dust.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between socioeconomic factors, health behaviors and overweight and to provide information in the policy making process for ensuring health equity. Data of 66,249 adolescents aged 12 to 18 years were derived from the Ninth Korean Youth's Risk Web-based Study, which was conducted in 2013. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that overweight were related with gender, parental education, frequency of having breakfast, fruit consumption, vegetable consumption, snack consumption, and frequency of physical activity. Therefore public health programmes should target unhealthy behaviour of adolescents from lower socioeconomic groups to help prevent future life-course disadvantages in terms of health and social inequalities.

This study explores how the digital divide caused by personal SES(Socio-Economic Status) eventually affect personal life satisfaction. The study also investigates the differences between living in urban and rural areas, as well as the differences among generations, with respect to the digital divide and personal life satisfaction. Based on the Korean Media Panel data produced by KISDI, this study used 9,647 national samples to obtain variables such as digital divide, and life satisfaction. Results show that personal SES is a key factor that significantly influences digital divide and life satisfaction in various degrees. Also, the study finds that the degree of the digital divide have an effect on people's life satisfaction. The findings imply that people living in urban areas are more highly used to digital media than those in rural areas regardless of their SES. The study has an implication, in terms of digital equity among generations as well as urban and rural residents.

현재 호남지역에 사상 유례없는 폭설이 내려 피해를 입은 지역들은 거의 회생불능 상태에 빠져 있다. 이에 피해를 입은 지역들은 특별재난지역 선포를 요구하고 있고 정부는 선포기준과 타 지역과의 형평성을 고려해 특별재난지역 선포에 난색을 표하고 있다. 더욱 문제가 되는 것은 자연재해로 인한 피해가 발생 할때 마다 정부와 피해 지역민들은 재해 복구에 대한 이견 차이로 사회 · 경제적 비용이 낭비되고 있다는 점이다. 이에 이번호에서는 우리나라 농업재해 대책의 현주소를 알아보고 이를 해결할 수 있는 대책은 없는지 살펴보고자 한다.

최근 우리나라는 과거에 비해 기후변화 등의 사유로 가뭄과 홍수가 증가하는 추세에 있으며, '90년대에 들어서는 대규모의 홍수와 극심한 가뭄이 거의 매년 되풀이 되고 있어 지역간 물수급·공급의 불균형이 심각하여 국민이 활용가능한 수자원확보량과 공급가능량이 많은 차이를 보이고 있다. 기후패턴 변화 및 지속적인 용수수요 증가로 인해 가뭄 발생 위험이 커지고 있으나, 신규 수자원개발은 지역갈등 유발 등 사회적 여건에 따라 불가하므로, 기존댐을 평가하고 효율적으로 활용한다는 것은 기존 수자원을 최대한 활용하여 그 가치를 재조명하고 감춰져 있는 수자원을 다시 찾아내어 활용한다는 점에서 큰 의미가 있다. 허나, 댐 용수공급 안정성을 재평가하기 위한 그간 수많은 노력이 이루어지고 있으나, 용수공급 안정성(이수안전도) 기준은 댐 건설 당시 시대적 여건 등에 따라 다르게 적용되어 표준화된 기준이 전무한 실정이다. 이에 따라 국민의 물이용 보장 등 수요자 입장을 고려한 댐별 표준화된 이수안전도 기준 마련이 시급하다고 판단되며, 본 과업을 통해 댐마다 달리 적용된 이수 안전도를 개선하여 형평성을 고려한 국민 물이용 보장 등을 구현할 수 있는 댐 이수안전도 표준화 및 개선방안을 도출하고자 한다. 표준화된 기준을 통하여 신규댐 설계, 기존댐 평가, 갈수 대책용량 결정 등과 관련하여 용수공급 능력 평가 시 혼란을 사전에 예방하고, 본 연구에서는 수자원 시스템의 용수공급 안정성(이수안전도)을 평가하고 표준화 방안을 마련하기 위한 정량적이고 객관적인 지표를 개발하였고 이를 댐설계 기준 등 국가계획에 반영하여 지침 화할 수 있는 방안을 연구하였다.

Although National Health Insurance(NHI) in the South Korea has guaranteed access to health insurance coverage to virtually all the people, a significant portion of out-of-pocket spending can create substantial financial burdens for some beneficiaries, particularly those with low incomes. Previous studies have estimated the magnitude of out-of-pocket spending by types of chronic illness or in- and out-patients. Prior estimates, however, have not given a complete picture of the impact of health care costs on lower-income populations. The result from this study shows that 20 percent of beneficiaries in the lowest-income quintile spent more than twelve percent of their household equivalent income out-of-pocket health services, whether they were enrolled in a Health care services or not. In comparison, the beneficiaries in the highest-income quintile level spent only 2 percent of their income out-of-pocket on health care. Also, the regression analysis suggests that age, household income, number of chronic illness, type of hospital in addition to the number of usage may affect the size of out-of-pocket spending.

This research explores the efficiency of social welfare expenditure in Korea by analyzing marginal productivity, scale economies, and elasticity of substitution that could be obtainable from a production function. By virtue of VES production function, such productive indicators are easily identified. If once the efficiency is revealed in the production process, it brings to a positive impact to increase the level of income. Empirical evidences are shown that the public expenditure is operated systematically in comparing with the private one. This is mainly due to the fact that the system of the public sector is well-established. It implies that an operational system for the private sector ought to be built up in a short period of time. Otherwise, increasing in expenditure by a private sector would not be helpful to improve efficiency in the production side. Accordingly, level of income.
