This study aims to provide research fields and topics to complement, extend and develop the geographical toponymy in Korea, largely based on a summary of topics discussed in the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names (UNGEGN). The Korean toponymic research has generally focused on revealing human, social and physical characteristics of the region by investigating the creation and change of the geographical names, with the perspective of creator and owner of the toponyms. Toponymic researches in the UNGEGN, in comparison, have put forward with the mission of standardization of geographical names and with specific emphasis on the users of toponyms. The topics include diverse forms of toponyms by user groups, roles of language groups, preservation of toponyms with specific value, etc. As research directions for an establishment of extended geographical toponymy accommodating discussions in the UNGEGN, further research topics are suggested; use of exonyms and endonyms in the Korean language, the nature of geographical feature and perception over it, writing systems for inter-language communication, and geographical names as intagible cultural heritage.

In this study, only 2,877 men, 2,614 men (44.6%), and 143 women (2.3%) were selected as the subjects who were over 18 years old in response to the health consciousness of the Korean medical panel data in 2012. Emergency of smokers through medical use and medical expenditure data by smoking. The social costs were estimated through medical expenses according to the number of hospitalization and outpatient medical use. The social cost was calculated by summing the social expenditure on health care costs, insurer (corporation) costs, copayment, non - salary, and productivity costs by adopting the social perspective established by the health economist Rice (1968). The rate of annual emergency medical use by smoking status is 7.5% for smokers per 100 people, 9.8 times for use, and 809,003 won for social expenses. The annual rate of hospitalization per 100,000 population by smoking status was 9.6% for smokers per 100 population, 9 times for use, The social cost is 706,870 won. Annual smoking rate by smoking status was 68.6% for smoking, 9 cases for annual medical use,

This study analyzes Big Data to understand the economic influence of K-Beauty which is expected as a fast-growing industry. Because the content of K-beauty is mainly transmitted over the Internet, Big Data about K-Beauty in the database of online services can show interest and engagement in K-Beauty. The export volume of the beauty industry and the number of foreign tourist in Korea were used as dependent variables. The volume of Google search and the volume of YouTube page view were independent variables. According to the result of a multi-regression analysis, the volume of Google search of K-Beauty had a positive influence on both dependent variables, even after controlling for GDP (Gross Domestic Product) and distances between nations. When it comes to the volume of YouTube page view of K-Beauty, it had a positive relationship with the export volume of the beauty industry, whereas there was no significant relationship between the volume of YouTube page view and the number of foreign tourists. The result indicates that the content of K-Beauty has a significant impact on the beauty industry. Moreover, this empirical study shows that web search and YouTube search have a positive relationship with the economical aspect. These results can be used to discuss public relations strategy to promote K-Beauty industry.

Hallyu in Malaysia is considered to be in the growth stage as in countries such as Philippine, Myanmar, Hungary, and Uzbekistan. In the growth stage, Hallyu becomes increasingly popular and familiar to the general public and the sales of Hallyu-related products starts to increase. The purpose of this research is to compare how Hallyu is perceived among Malaysian youths and adults. Analysis is carried out using FGD. The two groups are asked about what they think of Korea and the success of Hallyu, how much interest they have in foreign cultures in general, and how they come into contact with them. Based on these results, problems currently facing Hallyu and possible solutions are examined. The analysis shows that the interest in Hallyu among Malaysians varies according to age and gender. Both male and female participants in their 20's have shown a much greater interest in Hallyu than the participants over 30's. But Malaysians are known to be relatively open-minded about accepting foreign cultures, and this is reflected in the current study. They view the popularity of Korean drama, movies, and music as a trend, rather than being intolerant of them. There is no concern for negativity toward Hallyu in Malaysia, but it is likely that Hallyu may be replaced by another foreign culture unless its influence is constantly maintained in the area. Therefore, it is essential to develop measures and models to not only retain, but strengthen Hallyu's influence.

Rapid changes in the flora of exotic species are ecological problems that cause the alteration of national and regional biota. The purpose of this study is to identify the reality of neophyte flora currently inhabiting in Korea. Having analyzed a total of 151 studies published up until 2016, we found the qualitative and quantitative gaps among the preceding studies due to the lack of rigorousness on the application of the spatial and temporal level of exotic species and academic terminology. In this study, the neophyte is defined as the flora introduced temporarily after the Enlightenment in Korea (late 19th century) and spatially in the Eastern Asiatic Province of the Takhtajan's floral region instead of a country boundary. A total of 326 taxa of 184 genera of 39 families were identified and analyzed for their distributional origin and habitat characteristics. Approximately 87% (285 taxa) was a component of the single-layered herb vegetation, and a total of 211 taxa originated from Europe and North America which are the same temperate biome as Korea. The wetland vegetation components were much fewer with 21 taxa, but they included a large number of invasive alien species that caused critical deterioration in the habitat structure and function of aquatic ecosystems. Ecological approaches to exotic species categories such as Ephemerophyten and Apophyten have emerged.

숨가쁘게 달려오던 한국사회는 문득 21세기의 문턱 앞에 서 있다. 지난 한 세기는 한국 뿐만 아니라 세계건축계에도 많은 변화와 발전이 있었다. 이렇다 할 준비없이 우리가 맞이하는 21세기는 정보와 문화가 주도할 것으로 예상된다. 새로운 밀레니엄에 대한 기대와 세기적 전환시대를 맞는 현 시점에서 그동안 한국건축은 급격한 경제성장과 아울러 새로운 서구적 건축의 유입으로 인해 우리는 건축문화에 대한 관심을 기울일 시간도 없이 양적인 성장을 계속해 왔다. 외래건축의 유입으로 인해 한국건축이 겪었던 문화적 충격은 단순한 문화적 충돌이 아니라 기존 도시구조의 대대적인 변형과 파괴에 시달려야 했으며, 이로 인한 불균형한 개발은 급조된 건축물을 생산하는 결과를 초래하게 되었고, 이와 함께 우리 건축문화의 모습은 기형적인 도시환경의 모습으로 대체되었다. 이러한 상황에서 다가올 21세기는 WTO세계무역기구의 발전과 더불어 국가간의 개방정책이 불가피하게 이루어지고 있으며, 이에 따라 사회 전분야에 걸쳐 새로운 시도는 빠르게 움직이고 있다. 건축분야 역시 문호 개방원칙에 따라 국가간 건축사자격 상호인증에 대한 각국간의 심도있는 논의와 그에 따른 교육 및 시험수준, 경력의 요구조건, 제반규제사항 등 각국의 상호 차이점에 대한 구체적인 협의가 올해 열린 UIA(세계건축사연맹) 북경 총회에서 승인되어 표준안이 공포되었다. 이에 따라 우리나라도 건축사자격 상호인증에 대한 대책 마련을 위해 공청회개최 등을 통해 본격적인 논의가 이루어지고 있다. 이제 우리 건축계도 새로운 세기를 맞는 시점에 서 있다. 이러한 상황에서 한국건축계는 급변하는 세계속에 우리의 건축문화를 계승 발전해야 할 과제를 안고 있다. 이에 본지에서는 밀레니엄 특집으로 '21세기 한국건축의 비전'이란 주제로 한국건축의 새천년의 미래를 내다보고 이를 통해 우리 건축이 담고 있는 현실과 문제의 실마리를 풀 수 있는 계기를 마련하고자 이번 특집이 계획되었으며, 또한 한국건축이 나아갈 바람직한 방향을 짚어 봄으로써 한국건축의 활로를 모색하고 세기적 전환시대를 맞는 우리 건축의 미래지향적 자료로 활용되었으면 한다.
