최근 단시간 동안에 특정지역에 집중되는 국지적 호우에 의한 돌발홍수가 빈번히 발생하고 있으며, 이에 따른 위험과 손실이 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 현재 국내에서는 이러한 피해를 최소화하고자 돌발홍수 예측모형을 개발하고 예 경보 시스템을 구축하여 다양한 비구조적 대책을 마련하고 있다. 그러나 활용되는 예측모형의 경우 개념적 유출량인 한계유출량으로부터 돌발홍수능(Flash Flood Guidance, FFG)을 결정하여 예측 강우와 상대적인 대소 비교를 통해 돌발홍수의 발생가능성 유무를 판단하게 되는데, 문제는 산정되는 한계유출량은 개념적이기 때문에 검증이 어렵고 산정방법도 다양하여 불확실성이 높다는 단점이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기존의 돌발홍수 예측 방법이 아닌, 수문모형 Nesting 기법을 이용한 돌발 홍수 예측 방법을 개발하였다. 저해상도의 대유역 기반의 유출량이 큰 영역의 경계값이 되고, 대유역을 이루고 있는 소유역을 고해상도의 작은 영역이라 할 때, 경계값인 대유역의 기반의 유출량을 참고 유출량으로 하여 소유역의 유출을 물리적 혹은 개념적으로 보다 타당하게 모의하는 방법이 수문모형 Nesting 기법이다. 이러한 기법에 필요한 강우-유출 모형으로는 대유역의 경우, SURR 모형(Sejong University Rainfall-Runoff model)을 선택하였으며, 대유역을 이루는 소유역의 유출모의는 물리적 기반의 분포형 모형인 CASC2D 모형을 이용하였다. 또한 실시간 활용을 위해서는 CASC2D 모형의 매개변수를 자동으로 추정하는 기술이 요구되며, 본 연구에서는 매개변수 전역 최적화 방법인 SCE-UA(The Shuffled Complex Evolution, University of Arizona) 기법을 활용하였다. 본 연구에서 사용한 수문모형의 적용성을 평가한 결과 대상유역에 대한 적용성이 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 연계된 두 모형의 유출거동이 유사하게 나타난 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구에서는 Nesting 기법을 이용하여 0.5m 하천 수위의 상승 여부에 따라 돌발홍수의 발생 가능성을 예측하는 기법을 제안하였으며, 돌발홍수 사례와 일반호우사상으로부터 이 방법의 적용성을 평가하였다. 실제 돌발홍수가 발생한 유역을 선정하고 연계된 두 모형을 대상 유역에 적용한 결과 Nesting 기반의 돌발홍수 예측방법은 기존의 한계유출량 산정 방법에서 반영하지 못한 사상을 적절히 반영한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 개발한 Nesting 기법을 이용한 돌발홍수 예측모형은 일반적인 강우량 비교의 돌발홍수 예측방법에서 벗어나 새로운 돌발홍수 예측방법을 제안한 측면에서 큰 의미가 있다고 사료되며, 이러한 연구 결과는 실시간 돌발홍수 예측 시스템의 기본 모형으로 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

In Space contains valuable natural resources. These provide a compelling reason for entrepreneurs, investors, and governments to pursue space exploration and settlement. The Outer Space Treaty of 1967 explicitly forbids any government from claiming a celestial resource such as the Moon or a planet. Article II of the Outer Space Treaty states that "outer space, including the Moon and other celestial bodies, is not subject to national appropriation by claim of sovereignty, by means of use or occupation, or by any other means." The U.S. Commercial Space Launch Competitiveness Act of 2015 (CSLCA), however, makes significant advances in furthering U.S. commercial space industry, which explicitly allows U.S. citizens to engage in the commercial exploration and exploitation of 'space resources' including water and minerals. Thus, some scholars argue that the United States recognizing ownership of space resources is an act of sovereignty, and that the act violates the Outer Space Treaty. This paper suggests that it is necessary to guarantee the right to resources harvested in outer space. More specifically, a private ownership of extracted space resources needs to promote new space business and industry. As resources on Earth become increasingly difficult and expensive to mine, it is clear that our laws and policies must encourage private appropriation of space resources. CSLCA which addresses all aspects of space resource extraction will be one way to encourage space commercial activity.

To characterize morphological classification of the basins, four major basin characteristics of the unit basins, including sinuosity, ratio of forest, ratio of flat area, and tributary existence were selected for cluster analysis. The analysis was carried out using soil map, topographic map, water course map, and basin map of the fifty unit basins in the Yeongsangang Basin. The unit basins could be categorized to five basin groups. The fitness by the Mantel test showed good fit of which r was 0.830. These grouping based on comprehensive soil and topographic characteristics provides best management practices, water quality management according to pollutants, increased water related model application and reasonable availability of water management. For agricultural management of water resources and conservation of water quality from agricultural non-point pollutants, therefore, comprehensive systematic classification of soil characteristics on unit basin might be an useful tool.

UN-REDD (United Nations programme on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation in Developing Countries) and AR-CDM (Afforestation/Reforestation-Clean Development Mechanism) is currently being emerged as one of important mechanism to reduce carbon dioxide in relation to the deforestation. Discussion on North Korea as UN-REDD/AR-CDM project target continues with a view to preventing deforestation and to securing CER(certified emission reduction) for South Korea. The forests in Mt. Baekdu are degraded, deforestation is occurred, nevertheless, portion of forested area is still high, where both REDD and AR-CDM investment potential are quite high. Accordingly, this study is intended to explore a simultaneous registration potential to UNREDD/AR-CDM for Mt. Baekdu although separate registration to UN-REDD or AR-CDM has already gained worldwide recognition as a typical method in the process of GHG (Greenhouse Gas) reduction project. The results indicate that selecting UN-REDD or AR-CDM in accordance with sub-watershed forest condition could capture 53.2% more carbon dioxide than REDD alone and 21.9% more than AR-CDM alone. It is anticipated that this research output could be used as a realistic evidence to introduce carbon sequestering project in accordance with sub-watershed forest condition.

Using a comprehensive sample of convertible security offerings by Korean firms from 1981 to 1999, we examine the effect of convertible bond issues on firm value. We find that the announcement of convertible bond issues has a positive effect on firm value. However, the announcement of private convertible bond issues by chaebol firms has a significant negative effect on their market values. This result is different from that in Japan, suggesting that the efficiency of the financing decision by Korean chaebol is different from that by Japanese keiretsu. In addition, we find that the announcement effect of private convertible bond issues by chaebol firms has a significant relation with the corporate governance variables such as ownership structure, bank relationship. These results indicate that convertible bond issues can be used as a mechanism for chaebol owner-manager to give rise agency problems at the expense of the wealth of minority shareholders.

This study analyzed the impact of family firms and their characteristics on how they use debts to analyze the decision-making process of Korean family firms. For analysis, we classified the characteristics of family firms into three categories, through the influence of the relationship between the lack of funds and net debt issuance, which was confirmed as the 'packing order theory' of family firms. There was a total of 4,503 enterprises in the Korean Exchange (KRX). The period of analysis was 10 years, between 2004 and 2014. To summarize, Shyam-Sunder and Myers (1999) validated the packing order theory by presenting a model of family businesses that showed greater applicable to higher packing order theory than a model of non-family businesses. Moreover, the results also confirmed the application of the packing order theory by the family stronger corporate governance and ownership structure. The ownership and governance characteristics of the ruling family has also shown the applicability of higher packing order theory.

This study was performed to investigate socioeconomic factors relating to obesity and inadequate nutrient intake in women in low income families residing in Seoul. The subjects were 125 women (aged 41-87 y) recruited from the local health center for free health examination for low income families. The socioeconomic status such as educational level, income level, and housing condition were poor. For subjects aged less than 65 years, the prevalence of obesity was 44% based on BMI (${\geq}\;25\;kg/m^2$), 48% based on WHR (${\geq}\;0.85$), and 50% based on waist circumference (${\geq}\;80\;cm$) and for those more than 65 years, these were greater and 57%, 81%, and 79%, respectively. The main food sources of daily diet were vegetables, grains, and fruits. Energy and other nutrient intake was not adequate for all subjects and the inadequacy was more profound in the elderly, showing percentages of subjects whose intake was less than EAR were greater than 50% for all nutrients except for iron and below RI were also greater than 50% for all nutrients. The prevalence of obesity and nutrient inadequacy were not associated with socioeconomic status in subjects aged less than 65 years, however, obesity was associated with household income and nutrient inadequacy was related to education (vitamin A) and housing status (protein, phosphate, and iron) in the elderly. After adjustment for ages, in the elderly, OR for obesity (BMI ${\geq}$ 25, OR = 12.601; 95% CI = 2.338-67.911) and central obesity (WC ${\geq}$ 80 cm, OR = 4.778; 95% CI = 1.103-20.696) were greater in subjects who earned less than 500 thousand Won per month than who earned more. For inadequate nutrient intake, the OR for inadequate intake of Vitamin A (OR = 4.555; 95% CI = 1.491-13.914) was greater in subjects with no education than those educated. Subjects without her own house had greater risk for inadequate intake for protein (OR = 3.660; 95% CI = 1.118-11.981), phosphate (OR = 3.428; 95% CI = 1.157-10.158), and iron (OR = 3.765; 95% CI = 1.205-11.766) than subjects possessing her house. In elderly females in low income families, the socioeconomic status was associated with the risk for obesity (income level) and inadequate nutrient intake (education level and housing status). More attention on these groups should be given for prevention of obesity and inadequate nutrient intake.

This study is on understanding the reality of disabled seniors and investigation of factors that affect overall life satisfaction, making a proposal to improve their life quality. Situation data for the disabled, gathered by Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs (KIHASA) in 2014, was used to perform the study, and the target group is 3,181 people with disability, above the age of 65. Descriptive statistics was presented for data analysis and logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate factors that affect life satisfaction. It was concluded from the analysis that gender, age, presence of spouse (demographic factors), house income, possession of house, presence of pensioner, registration to public pension plan, social discrimination (social-economical factors), level of disability, subjective health status, level of help needed for daily living, presence of care-giver, sufficiency of help, ability to go out by oneself, difficulty of using public transportations, and presence of medical checkups (disability and health factors.) make meaningful effects to life satisfaction of disabled seniors. Based on the derived results, this study suggests intensive interests and care-giving service for disabled seniors that live alone, institutional complementations to guarantee income security, including public or private pensions, improvements to social recognition and environments for discrimination of the disabled, organization of health and medical treatment service and health care system, comprehensive service provision to social welfare for both the disabled and seniors, and comprehensive service provision to both health care and social welfare.

The main objective of this research is the development of a logit model of urban workers' auto ownership choice. For the utility specification. a variety of behavioral hypotheses about the factors which affect the urban workers' auto ownership choice are considered. Based on the behavioral hypotheses, a binary logit model of auto ownership is estimated. Empirical estimation is based on a sample of workers taken in Daegu City(1994). The binary logit model of auto ownership development in this paper provides reasonable results in terms of behavioral and statistical considerations. Furthermore, this paper develops several submarket models of auto ownership choice. Market segmentation was made using age, sex, income, home-to-work time distance. It is found that the estimated results with market segmentation are also reasonable. Finally future directions of model development are suggested.
