The basic goal of urban safety is to support citizens' quality of life and city competitiveness, and its importance is increasing. Since the risk of disasters is growing, there is a growing demand from society for minimizing the damage by preventing and responding to them in advance. In case of urban governments, securing safety emerges as one of the most important policy tasks due to natural disasters such as heavy rain and heavy snow and human disasters such as various accidents. Recently, it is emphasized the necessity to increase the prevention effect through disaster analysis using Big Data. This study examined paradigm change of disaster safety management using big data centering on Seoul city. In particular, the study tried case analysis from the viewpoint of maximizing effective government services for disaster safety management, and sought the strategic meaning in connection with the ordinance.

This study investigates whether previous experiences in the labor market such as previous employment type and job type are related to the economic status and poverty in the elderly in Korea. Previous studies are limited in explaining the causes of poverty by using only the proxy variables such as age, marital status, and gender to classify the poverty status of the elderly after poverty has been identified. Therefore little is known about how the economic well-being after retirement is interrelated with previous job experiences in the labour market. The results indicate that the last job type and type of employment are significant predictors for the economic status of elderly. Job type in the labour market is critical for the lifetime economic status of an individual. These findings imply that we might need to reconsider the current public pension system which directly relates the benefit level to the amount of contribution. A system introducing a basic pension or a minimum pension benefit based on the citizenship or residence might be an alternative worth to consider.

The purpose of the paper is to discuss the restructuring of the family policy from a gender-integrating perspective. Several meaningful conclusions were reached. First, examining family policy from the laborer's perspective, the issue of work and family becomes not a gender-related issue but rather an issue for universal people. Second, in order to include the difference in interest among men and women in the labor market, and to view the issue from a gender-integrating perspective, the framework for family policy should consider the place of labor. Third, if family policy is divided into family and labor arena based on the above mentioned framework, the core content of the policy should gear toward loosening and/or eliminating barriers to fulfill the right to work for pay and the right to care for family. Lastly, family policy should aim at men and women sharing the responsibility of supporting and caring for the family. By doing so, we may be closer to maintaining work and family together, the ultimate goal of family policy.

Rational debate and public conversation in the public sphere of social network are crucial conditions for realizing deliberative democracy. However, negative communication can occur online more frequently than in the real space, and mutually hostile messages are appearing. In the electoral process, citizens combining for particular candidates have made personal attacks against, abused and slandered the opposing candidates. Then, how and to what degree has the flaming behavior been appearing in the elections? Are there influencers to propagate the flaming behavior? And how flaming are these influencers, compared to internet users? This research focuses on the flaming behavior which occurred during the reelection for Seoul Mayor, in order to diagnose the role of social network as an online public sphere. This study analyzes the spreading degree of flaming messages depending on each issue, and the differences of messages between influencers and normal users. There was frequent flaming behaviors to distribute biased information which criticized, laughed at and maliciously attacked individual candidates. Moreover, influencers who advanced leading opinions, displayed a higher flaming degree than normal users.

This study is to investigate determinants of the private security agents' career choices. Random sampling of newly agents working at the private security firms in Gyeonggi-do and ChungChong-do was used. The period of under review was from May, 2010 to June, 2011 and the total number of interviews was 382. For this study using SPSSWIN 18.0, factor analysis(EFA/CFA), reliability analysis, discriminant analysis and descriptive statistics. The followings are conclusions. The first factor is' the value of job'. It consists of public security, contributions to our society and nation, protection public safety, spirit of sacrifice, crime prevention, and maintenance security. The second factor is 'ease of career choice'. Qualifying conditions are not particular and it is easy to get the job, as a result, this job is easy of access, they chose this job. The third factor is 'occupational stability'. They think this is a good job because the job is future-oriented so they chose this job. The fourth factor is' curiosity'. They became interested in this job, so they wanted to know about this job and then they chose this job.

As the core task was selected in the 3rd Comprehensive Library Advancement Plan, 'Reinforcement of programs and services to strengthen future citizens' capacity required in the Fourth Industrial Revolution', the customized curation service of the library using artificial intelligence technology has recently been in the spotlight. The purpose of this study is to find out how the customized curation service affects the relationship between the library and the user. As a result, the library curation service was proved to have a statistically significant effect on user satisfaction and reliability. Satisfaction and reliability were also found to have a positive effect on library revisit, word of mouth intention, increased use, and new service intention. The results of this study can be used as basic data for the development and the operation of customized curation services based on user demand surveys, and could further contribute to enhancing the status of public libraries in Korea by mproving the competitiveness of libraries in the future society.

Recently frequent occurrence of ground subsidence cases has become social issue, and people's concern on this problem has been growing accordingly. Meanwhile, understanding on the mechanism of ground subsidence formation is not enough. Therefore, this study aims for evaluating formation mechanism of ground subsidence under various groundwater conditions through model test when groundwater and soil are leaked together. Major factors found through model tests are direction of groundwater flow, head difference around the leakage point, and strehgth of the ground to support the underground cavity. Firstly, direction of groundwater flow has an influence on the direction of cavity expansion and ground collapse. Secondly, it is observed that the speed of ground subsidence formation increases as the head difference increases. Lastly, the expansion of the cavity can eventually lead to a sudden collapse.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of participation in cultural activities on happiness. The empirical results show that participation in cultural activities has a positive impact on individual happiness, because cultural activities cause entertainment and social contacts with people. Furthermore, the levels of income and education are analyzed by dividing them into high and low groups. Noteworthy is that the low-income and less-educated groups show lower participation in cultural activities than those in the high-income and well-educated groups, But the utility magnitude gained through cultural activities is higher. This implies that opportunity costs arising from financial and time constraints are greater in the low-income and less-educated groups than in the high-income and well-educated groups. Finally, for the low-income group, the marginal utility is reduced when spending on cultural activities exceeds certain levels, which means there exist a budget constraint for the low-income group.

가뭄에 대한 정의와 구분이 다양하게 존재하나 일반적으로 기상학적 가뭄으로부터 농업적 가뭄, 수문학적 가뭄, 사회경제학적 가뭄으로 전이되므로 강수량의 부족이 가뭄의 첫 번째 원인인 것은 자명하다. 최근까지 여러 가지 기상학적 가뭄지수가 개발되어 다양한 목적으로 세계 곳곳에서 활용되고 있으나, 그 중 적용사례가 가장 많은 것은 표준강수지수 (SPI; Standardized Precipitation Index)이다. 월단위로 계산되어지는 SPI는 우리나라와 같이 강수의 변동성이 큰 지역에서는 그 활용성이 떨어지는 경우가 있어 최근에는 일 단위 SPI를 산정하여 활용하는 경우도 있다. 그러나, 일단위 SPI는 가뭄기간 동안 가뭄단계가 'Extreme drought'에서 'Moderate drought'로 약해질 경우 가뭄 지속기간이 가장 긴 'Moderate drought' 단계에서 가뭄피해 및 체감하는 고통이 가장 클수 있어, 가뭄에 대응하거나 대국민 가뭄정보 전달에 한계가 있다. 가뭄에 대응하거나 가뭄정보 전달을 위해서는 가뭄이 지속되는 동안 가뭄단계가 높아질 필요성이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 가뭄사상의 특성 중 가뭄의 강도(Intensity)와 지속기간(Duration)의 특성을 모두 포함하는 가뭄의 심도(Severity)를 활용하여 기상학적 가뭄을 평가하였다. 일단위 SPI 값(강도)을 가뭄기간동안 누적하여 일단위 가뭄심도(SPI-S)를 산정하고 이를 통해 가뭄단계를 제안하였다. 또한 다양한 SPI 대상기간에 대해 최솟값을 취하는 Blended SPI에 대해서도 같은 방법으로 가뭄심도(SPIB-S)를 산정하고 가뭄단계를 적용하였다. 2001년, 2008-2009년, 2012년 가뭄사례에 적용한 결과 SPI-S(or SPIB-S)는 가뭄기간동안 단계적인 가뭄단계의 상승으로 당시의 가뭄상황을 잘 나타내었다. 이는 SPI-S(or SPIB-S)가 단계적인 가뭄대비와 대응 지수로 가뭄피해 경감에 활용도가 높을 것으로 판단되며, 가뭄상황을 지역민들에게 단계적, 일관적으로 전달할 수 있어 가뭄극복을 위한 시민참여를 유도하기에 유리할 것이다.
