This paper presents a model for the Minimum Wage Commission's decision process and analyzes the strategic actions of the participants in the process. The Minimum Wage Commission has used two ways of setting the minimum wage. The commission has voted either on the labor's against the management' final proposals or has voted on the public interest commissioners' proposal. According to the model, the minimum wage is determined at a level that is very close to or at a level preferred by the median voter among the public interest commissioners. But the probability of adopting labor or management proposal is ex-ante the same. Empirical evidence from the minimum wage decision process is consistent with the predictions of the model. The probability of adopting the labor's proposal in the minimum wage commission voting is not statistically significantly different from 50%. The model also suggests that the preference of the median voter among public interest commissioners determines the minimum wage level. Since the government appoints public interest commissioners and thus, in fact, the median voters, the government can decide the minimum wage level. This proposition is also consistent with data. The annual growth rate of the minimum wage under the progressive governments is higher than under conservative governments.

The purpose of this study is to verify the effect of electoral competition on voters deciding on strategic split-ticket voting under the mixed-member electoral system. As result, the more competitive the constituencies are, the more voters choose to vote for the major parties. The results of logistic regression analysis including interaction terms showed that the more competitive the constituencies are, the more voters choose for candidates from the major parties. Also, the finding shows that major party supporters are less affected by electoral competition than minor party supporters in choosing a candidate in the single-seat districts. In the case of minor party supporters, the more competitive the constituencies were, the more likely they were to choose the major party candidate instead of the minor party candidate. Based on these results, it can be inferred that voters are affected by the presence or behavior of other voters in local constituencies under the first-past-the-post rule. Because of the psychology of not wanting their votes to be useless, voters cast their ballots more strategically as the competition in constituencies intensifies, and as the competition in constituencies slackens, such tendencies weaken, and this trait is particularly evident among minor party supporters.

There is no general method to find out from signals of the channel outputs of ICA(Independent Component Analysis) which is what you want. Assuming speech signals contaminated with the sound from the muffler of a car, this paper presents the method which shows what you want, It is anticipated that speech signals will show larger correlation coefficients for speech signals than others. Batch, maximum and average method were proposed using 'ah', 'oh', 'woo' vowels whose signals were spoken by the same person who spoke the speech signals and using the same vowels whose signals are by another person. With the correlation coefficients which were calculated for each vowel, voting and summation methods were added. This paper shows what the best is among several methods tried.

신기술을 개발하기 위해서는 다수의 단말기술들이 요구된다. 이 단말기술들은 ${\ulcorner}$SAT${\lrcorner}$ 구조에 의해 구성되는 것이 효율적이며, 이를 통해 다수의 기술컨셉대체안이 도출된다. 그러나, 평가의 투표양식 ( Ballot Form ) 과 ${\ulcorner}$SPN ( System Priority Number )${\lrcorner}$ 를 활용하는 ${\ulcorner}$SAT${\lrcorner}$ 평가방식으로는 평가자의 단편적인 선호도만이 분석가능하며, 투표과정이 번거롭다는 단점이 있다. 이러한 문제 해결을 위해 본 연구에서는 기술컨셉대체안이 요구기능과 실현수단의 순환계층구조로 표현되는 ${\ulcorner}$SAT${\lrcorner}$ 에, 전문기술집단의 선호구조를 정밀히 분석하기 위해 단말기술의 속성변수와 속성수준화를 규정하여 평가하도록 하는 ${\ulcorner}$컨조인트 분석${\lrcorner}$ 을 결합한 ${\ulcorner}$컨조인트 SAT모형 (CJ-SAT Model)${\lrcorner}$ 을 개발하였다.

모바일 인터넷 통신망의 급속한 발전과 스마트폰 보급률이 늘어남에 따라 언제 어디서나 빠르게 인터넷에 접속할 수 있는 정보 인프라가 갖추어졌다. 더불어 이를 이용하는 사용자 간의 사회적 네트워크 소통 시스템이 최근 주목받고 있다. 하지만 단순한 메시지나 사진, 음성이나 동영상 등의 데이터를 교환하는데 그치고 있다. 이러한 시스템 환경에서는 다른 사용자의 피드백이 필요한 질문이나 설문, 투표와 같은 요청이 발생하였을 때 만족스러운 결과를 얻기까지 여러 번의 복잡한 메시지 교환이 이루어져야 한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 불편을 해결하기 위하여 질문자의 물음에 답변하는 일반적인 설문조사 방식이 아닌 투표 할 수 있는 후보에 대한 추천을 응답자들이 직접 하는 것이 가능하도록 하는 시스템을 설계 및 구현하였다.

This paper presents a formal model of social policy development. The model shows that the development of social policy depends both on the social policy preferences of voters and on the political institution which mediates the preferences of voters. In the direct democracy, median voter's social policy preference is critical because he is Condorcet winner in a pairwise vote. But in the representative democracy, political parties design social policy to win the support of a majority of voters. Hence, the political institution like electoral rule may affect social policy outcome. The model presented in this paper contrasts 3 alternative constitutional features and investigates how they affect social policy outcome. In result, this papers emphasizes that policy preferences of voters and political institution may be key variables to explain social policy development and divergence among welfare regimes.

Incheon International Airport (IIAC) has been named "best airport worldwide" according to the AETRA Passenger survey Program that was jointly administered by Airports Council International (ACI) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) in 2005. This paper identifies eight dimensions underlying the overall service qualify in passenger terminals. These eight elements were found from literature reviews through relevant documents. The research explains the linkage between the overall satisfaction with IIAC and five services that influence that satisfaction. The five services are the following: service quality of passenger terminals, commercial facility services, easy access by transportation, service quality of the airlines, and contributions to the community by IIAC. The data envelopment analysis (DEA) designed by Cook and Kress (CK Model) was used to maximize the efficiency of commercial facility services, easy access by transportation, service qualify of the airlines, and contributions to the community by IIAC because the model best provided practical plans for a more competitive airport. This paper has three significant results. First, it includes research of passenger terminal-oriented service quality. Second, the author researches service qualify focusing on a three-cornered relation among passengers, airline employees, and IIAC. Third, the paper contains research of service quality focusing on IIAC's employees.

Since the advent of blockchain and bitcoin, decentralization has been accelerating around the world as a public blockchain ethereum with smartcontract has begun. Developers can use Ethereum's blockchain development platform to develop "distributed applications" (DApp) running on a decentralized P2P network, and various types of devices from IoT to mobile can participate in a block-chain distributed environment have. Using Ethereum's blockchain development platform, developers can develop "Decentralized Application (DApp)" that run on a decentralized P2P network and various types of devices from IOT to mobile can participate in distributed blockchain environments. There are many ways to interact with the blockchain and the smart contract, but users tend to prefer the mobile methods due to their convenience and accessibility advantages. Therefore, the author developed an Android based voting DApp and researched related issues. Since the current development methods of DApp are not adequately researched and standardized, efficient methods for developing user-friendly DApp were studied. Because DApp has to spend a certain amount of fees to interact with blockchain, it has intensively investigated the gas problem of Smart Contract code and the security problem of code, and author would like to introduce it in this paper.

The present paper reviews the development of democracy in the West and Korea. The first part of the paper provide a cultural framework for understanding the development of democracy in West and Korea. In the second part of the paper, an empirical study conducted in Korea will be presented. A survey questionnaire was developed to assess respondents' conception of political participation, political efficacy, trust, leadership, and social relations and it has been administered to national stratified sample in Korea (n=1,000). The results indicate that Korean respondents support the basic ideas of liberal democracy, such as the right to vote, participate in political organization, freedom of speech, and criticize government. At the same time, Korean respondents supported collective values, such as harmonious family life, harmonious social relations, and governmental welfare programs. Although Koreans trusted close ingroup members, such as family members and friends, they were less likely to trust their colleagues and outgroup members and were not likely to trust political and governmental institutions. Moreover, Korean respondents showed a low degree of political participation and efficacy and a high degree of political alienation. As for leadership, Koreans preferred moral and strong leaders. The overall results indicate that in Korea, although the basic ideals of democracy are valued, the method of implementing these ideals is different from the West. Detailed analysis of the results and implications of the study will be presented.
