This paper examines how South Korean government regulators and environmental scientists endeavored to improve the environmental quality of Seoul in preparation for the Olympic Games in 1988. When Seoul was nominated as a host city of the Summer Games in 1981, it was suffering from severe environmental pollution. The municipal government of Seoul and the Ministry of Environment initiated a series of pollution survey projects, which were followed by relevant regulatory procedures. One of the outcomes of these projects was the beginning of odor pollution regulation that used the Environmental Official Testing Method. Although the Pollution Prevention Act of 1963 made odor pollution such as unpleasant order, stench, and stink subject to environmental regulation, proper administrative procedures to reduce odor pollution were not in place until the 1980s. In order to reduce odor pollution in urban areas, governmental officers and environmental scientists tried to regulate odor-causing chemicals from factories. In June 1988, however, severe odor pollution was detected not from factories but from unregulated areas in Seoul, such as the waterside parks of the Han river, the downtown, and the marketplaces. The local regulators and scientists were concerned that the odor pollution could make a "wrong" impression on foreign athletes and visitors about the degree of "modernity" of Korea. This paper shows that the 1988 Summer Olympics was a transition point in the early history of odor regulation in South Korea, when the scope of odor regulation could be expanded.

This study aimed to examine the research trends and to suggest future research directions in teaching-learning methods for Home Economics education, by analyzing articles published in three major academic journals in the field. From each of the research studies, the teaching-learning method, the related content area, and the learning effect measures were quantitatively codified. The data were analyzed using frequency analysis and cross-tabulations. According to the results, the number of teaching-learning method studies steadily increased since 1998 and peaked in 2010 and 2011. The most frequently studied content areas were combinations of more than two content areas, and the most frequently studied teaching-learning method was the Content-Based methods, followed by Practical Thinking/Problem Solving, and IT-Based methods. The most frequently used measures of learning effect were Knowledge/Understanding, Attitudes toward Home Economics subject, General Attitudes/Competencies, and the Attitudes toward the Instructional Method, in the order of frequencies. The results of this study are expected to contribute to the teaching-learning method research and also provide implications to the documentation of Home Economics curriculum for secondary education.

This study aims to provide lesson plans that can simultaneously achieve both the learning goals of the 'Human Development & Family' domain of the 2015 revised Technology & Home Economics curriculum and the Sustainable Development Goals. Four steps including analysis, design, development, and evaluation and revision were followed. In the analysis step, the 'Changing Families and Healthy Families' unit was selected as it is relevant to the nine subgoals of the SDGs. In the design step, three sessions were planned with a problem-solving project approach. In the development step, three lesson plans for each session, individual and group activity worksheets for students, and guidelines for teachers were constructed. In the evaluation and revision step, criteria for evaluating the lesson plans were developed reflecting both the goals of the Home Economic curriculum and the SDGs. The validity of the lesson plans was reviewed by a panel of experts. Then, the revised lesson plans were finalized. This study provides an illustrative example of the lesson plans in the secondary education context that can be used to achieve the learning goals of the Home Economic curriculum and the Sustainable Development Goals at the same time.

The purpose of this study was to understand the influence of social network site (SNS) addiction on the ability of nursing students to adjust to university life and to generate the basic data to develop programs that could improve this ability. The data was collected from questionnaires that were filled out by 255 nursing students in two universities located in Jeollanam-do and Gyeonggi-do from May 16, 2020 to May 20, 2020. The data was analyzed using the SPSS 23.0 program (frequency, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, multiple regression). The mean scores of SNS addiction and adjustment to university life were 2.16±0.54 (range:1-5) and 3.13±0.39 (range:1-5) respectively. SNS addiction accounts for 27% of the variance in adjustment to university life. The study concluded that SNS addiction negatively affects adjustment to university life among nursing students. To ensure better adjustment a program should be developed to treat SNS addiction early. Also, a study will have to be conducted to determine the time when tendency toward SNS addiction becomes apparent, to initiate treatment.

요즈음 각종 미디어를 통해 '디지로그' 라는 신조어가 주목 받고 있다. 디지로그의 핵심은 디지털 기반의 이분법적인 사고의 틀을 보완하기 위해 아날로그적인 감성의 도입을 의미한다. 이는 기능중심적인사고로 해결할 수 없는 인간과 컴퓨터의 간극을 새롭게 조명할 수 있는 기회를 제공함으로서 HCI 문제의 새로운 대안으로 떠오르고 있다. 기존 생활가전제품 인터페이스의 중요한 목적은 사용성, 유용성과 같은 기능적인 측면 이었다. 이는 제품자체의 목적을 그 기능에 국한하였기 때문이다. 하지만 현재 에어컨, 냉장고와 같은 생활 가전제품들의 위상은 기능을 넘어 집안의 인테리어의 요소로써의 역할 뿐만 아니라 자신을 대변 할 수 있는 혹은 과시하고 싶은 명품 이미지로써 점차 자리잡기 시작하였다. 또한 TFT Color LCD의 도입은 제품의 상태를 단순히 전달해 주는 단계를 벗어나 심미적인 표현까지 가능하게 해주었다. 이를 계기로 수채화 표현기법과 같은 아날로그 메타포를 활용한 감성적 인터페이스가 시도될 수 있었다. 아날로그 메다포를 활용한 디지털 가전 인터페이스의 첫 번째 단계는 스타일이다. 아날로그적인 스타일을 가장 대표적으로 보여주는 것은 바로 회화영역이다. 에어컨 공기청정기능의 프로그레시브 영역에 수채화로 표현된 산과 들을 보여줌으로서 인터페이스가 하나의 풍경화로서의 접근이 가능하게 된다. 이는 소비자들에게 정신적인 만족감과 더불어 제품의 프리미엄의 이미지를 각인시킨다. 두 번째 단계는 스토리이다. 기능을 디지털의 On/Off에 의거하여 나열 하기보다 기능과 기능사이의 문맥을 스토리로 연결함으로서 아날로그적인 접근이 가능하다. 이러한 스토리의 기준은 사용자의 경험에 기인하여 만들어지게 된다. 마지막으로 활용할 수 있는 단계는 컨텐츠이다. 이제는 한가지로 집중된 기능만으로는 사용자를 만족 시킬 수 없다. 사용자에게 인간적인 체온이 느껴지는 아날로그적인 컨텐츠를 제공함으로서 인터페이스 자체로 감동을 줄 수 있게 된다. 이와 같은 변화는 디지털제품의 궁극적인 목표가 사용자에게 있다는 것을 다시 한번 확인시켜준다. 이제는 똑똑하고 편리한 인터페이스를 넘어 사용자체가 감성적 만족감을 주는 매력적인 인터페이스로 진화 하고 있는 것이다.

This study was conducted to review Waste Transfer Stations(WTSs) in Seoul, especially focusing on three aspects, main roles, neighbor friendly and regulation compliance, and to draw out recommendation for improvement. The 46 units of all 65 WTSs treated large amount of waste on a day shipping-out schedule, the other 19 WTSs treated small amounts of wastes which were transported after 3~30 days stock. About 57% of WTSs are located in residential or commercial area. Other 57% of WTSs were open without walls. 79% of WTSs were placed alone. Just 17% of WTSs were permitted as environmental infrastructures by urban planning law, and 31% of WTSs were operated by private waste haulers who were permitted by waste management law. Most WTSs in Seoul seemed to go well with on-going policy demand, such as regionalizing waste treatment facilities, expanding waste recycling, and so on. However lots of WTSs did not implement sufficient environmental protection measures, and partly not compliant with regulations related to urban infrastructures. In the future, the issue on sealing facilities and integrating functions of waste management facilities could be considered in order to fit in urban environment.

The purpose of this study is to suggest a pedagogic direction of home economics education that can form body image which organize self-concept of adolescents positively. To achieve this purpose, the study suggested a body image formation model of adolescents that can be applied to home economics education, and based on this formation model, analyzed contents on body image of current 12 textbooks of home economics education. The main results of this study are summarized as follows: First, to analyze textbook through body image formation model of adolescents, educational contents about body image were categorized into 4 constructs with 8 sub-categories. Second, we found the current textbooks about the child and family life field, food and dietary life field, and clothing life, are handling topics regarding body image formation model of adolescents, such as concepts and components of body image and antecedents and outcomes of body image. We conclude that although the current textbooks handles contents on body image of adolescents, those contents are sporadically presented across the three fields without an integrated perspective. Home Economics, as an entity of educating adolescents' self-esteem through daily life activities, needs to have a topic-oriented approach in developing a curriculum.

This study conducted surveys of 88 eldery people over 100 years in Gyeongnam on April to June, 2011 during 90 days. It was intended to find the factors of longevity, Activity Daily of Living (ADL), and Instrumental Activity Daily of Living (IADL). Major results of this study were as follows: The factors of longevity are getting enough sleep over than seven hours(95.5%), taking in less salty food (69.8%), optimism without even thinking about suicide (86.9%), nonsmoking habit (92%), and moderation in drink (86.4%). The most difficult part of Activity Daily of Living (ADL) is taking a bath, and that of Instrumental Activity Daily of Living (IADL) is taking a bus or subway alone. All items of ADL and IADL, female was higher than the male, but not statistically significant(p<0.05). Therefore, further study is expected to develop the supplementary policy to support the elderly people with declining to carry out physical activities. It is also expected to develop the public welfare programs and policies for the aged, allowing them to take responsibility and to participate as a member of the society.
