전기요금수준과 요금체계는 산업의 생산비와 가계의 소비생활패턴에 직접적인 영향을 미쳐, 생산활동 산업구조 소비형태에 변화를 초래한다. 또한 적정요금의 부과는 미래의 전력수요에 부응하는 전원개발의 비용확보와 이를 통한 전력수급 안정에 필수적인 사항이다. 전기요금체계가 경제적으로 효율적인 한계비용방식으로 장기적으로 전환되겠지만 이에는 상당한 시간이 필요하다고 예상되므로, 본 논문에서는 현재 한전이 택하고 있는 평균비용방식에 의거한 용도별 요금체계의 문제점을 지적하고 중단기적 개선방안을 제시한다. 현재 용도별 요금에서의 문제점을 지적하자면, 일반용요금은 평균비용에 비해 과다하게 높은 데 반해 농사용요금은 과다하게 낮다. 또한 일반용에서 계시별 구분을 적용받는 소비자가 너무 적으며 선택요금이 다양하지 못하다는 문제점이 있다. 주택용요금은 평균비용과 상당한 괴리가 있으며, 현재의 7단계분류는 보통 외국의 3단계 분류에 비해 복잡하며 단계별 누진율이 과다하게 높다. 주택용의 기본요금과 전력량요금이 모두 누진적이나 이에 대한 경제적 논거가 약하다. 전기요금의 중단기적 개선의 기본방향은 한계요금체계에의 근접화, 정책적 왜곡의 최소화, 수요관리 요금체계의 강화로 정리될 수 있다. 현재의 전기요금체계는 산업정책 소득정책 정치적 선택 등 정책적 요소를 혼용하고 있는데, 정부의 경제개입이 줄어드는 추세에 맞추어 전기가 필수재라는 요소 이외의 정책적 요소는 사라져야 한다. 또한 전기가 피크기의 수요에 맞추어 용량을 확보해야 하는 특성을 가지고 있으므로 피크기의 수요관리는 설비비용의 절약으로 소비자 모두에게 혜택을 줄 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 위의 기본방향을 기반으로 하여 구체적 개선방안으로 산업용 일반용 교육용의 전압별 통합, 산업용 일반용의 선택요금 및 차등폭 확대, 요금의 비용 근접화, 농사용내의 구분 단일화, 주택용의 체계 단순화, 누진율의 대폭 완화, 하계수요관리 요금의 도입, 계시별 차등요금시간대 단순화를 제안한다. 이러한 개선방안은 현재의 전기요금체계를 경제학적 논리기반에 근접화시키고 좀도 효율화 합리화시킬 수 있을 것이다.

The global environment is rapidly changing due to the Coronavirus outbreak, especially in areas that have been relatively neglected, such as border areas. In particular, In the post-COVID era, the border area between the two Koreas requires a new perception and conceptualization as a space for reconciliation, cooperation and coexistence. Through the status and outlook of post-COVID era, this paper analyzed the promoting directions of each situation, such as SWOT analysis, depending on the characteristics of changes such as domestic preference, changes into standards of new national competitiveness, changes into regional value chains, and the transition to digital economy in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Based on the previous analysis, this paper proposed realistic approaches such as the utilization of buffer zones, expansion of non-political cooperation to prepare resilience, and promotion of new growth engine industries. In addition, this paper suggested prepared strategies for analyzing the influence of positive and negative cases and responding to them by writing possible scenarios.

This paper aims to provide a conceptual framework to see the special zones in East Asia in relation to the territorialities of the state. For this, it will introduce Aihwa Ong's notion of 'spaces of exception', and provide some critical discussions on it. Unlike Ong, I do not see the spaces of exception as an outcome of neoliberal changes of the state. Instead, I propose to see the special zones in terms of the internal limitations of the modern state territoriality. In particular, I try to theorize the special zones in relation to the dialectics of the contradictory relations between mobility and fixity inherent in the territoriality of the modern nation state. In addition, it will be suggested to see special zones as an essential part of the spatiality of the East Asian developmental states, given the spatio-temporal contexts of the East Asian capitalist development. On the basis of these theoretical discussions, this paper will divide the special zones that have been developed in East Asia since the 1960s into 3 different types, including 1) developmentalist special zones, 2) neo-liberal special zones, and 3) special zones for transition, and discuss their characteristics.

Conclusion is like below. First, as a private security area's mutual relationship and development device, it is necessary to bring up corresponding-terror expert. Second, a privatized corresponding-terror research center is necessary. Third, the importance of privatization's role for the corresponding-terror prevention law establishment. It is considered that a diversified examination research that can minimize a violation of human rights by bringing up various corresponding-terror expert, paradigm shift of workers related security area, and construct corresponding- terror education equipment as well as education content, it is not a special group's authority, should be continued by a following research. Academical area of terrorism's construction is necessary. You need to approach by private initiatively boldly with the academic world as an active mutual cooperation politically, culturally, socially, internationally, etc, rather than developing national institute initiatively. Also, in a following research, an academical research about a correlation of crime, war, terror should be done deeply, variously. It is necessary to establish an academic foundation of terror study.

The translog cost function of Korean Walleye pollock fishery is used to examine the impact of surface water temperature change led by global climate change. Catched of walleye pollock are very sensitive to water temperature and material cost. Elasticities of production to water temperature are -9%, significantly lower than we expected. There may be alternative explanations for the productivity decrease, including the possibility of overfishing and water pollution. However, the impact of climate change is obvious and inevitable. Therefore the government may encourage local fishermen to change from current cold water to warm water fisheries. Moreover continuos monitoring for the possibility of illegal activities at the East Sea. Finally, collaborated political efforts may be needed among the nations in the East Sea to conserve a Walleye Pollock fishery.

Since the end of 1997, the Korean economy has been in deep recession; the unemployment rate has rocketed to 6.7% and the economic growth rate has dropped to -3.8% in the first quarter of 1998. Facing with this mass unemployment, the Korean Government launched comprehensive countermeasures against mass unemployment.. However, these have been in severe criticism from the outset on account of ineffectiveness and impracticability. It is in this regard that this paper purports to design a socially acceptable and financially feasible social safety net by reforming the Livelihood Aid Programme. For this purpose, chapter 3 defines the concept of social safety net, and chapter 4 reviews the social safety net programmes sponsored by World Bank and IMF in the Third World countries and Eastern European countries. Chapter 5 proposes the Three Step Approach in designing the social safety net in Korea.

The aim of this article is to critically review the PRC's policies related to its minority nationalities with a special emphasis on the identification of minority nationalities(minzuzhibie) and the establishment of minority nationality autonomous regions(minzuzizhiquyu), as a part of national integration Process. In that Process, the intentional application of the criteria on nationality identification, the establishment of minority nationality autonomous regions, the population redistribution policies and the gerrymandering by the government played an important role in the deconstruction of traditional basis of identities and the territorialization of ethnicity. The goals of government have been the redefinition of 'Chinese', the the invention of 'Chinese nationality(zhongguominzu or zhonghuaminzu)'and the unification of its national territory. However, these have led to the unexpected result by creating the new ethnic-territorial identities along with the nationalities identified and the territories defined by the government.

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the prospects and problems in the study of geography related to the concept of commodity, transport, and supply chains. The geography studies related to commodity chains are expanded to each field of industry focusing on the subjects and economic difference which lead the commodity chain in core and periphery regions. These vertical connection are studied with the political economy approach that gives attention to geographical pattern of agricultural products and foods. But in viewpoint of commodity circuit and commodity network, the culture or subjects of micro regions and interaction are also studied. The contents of these study are to clarify the importance of cultural turn and local. And the study of chain standpoint appears that the series of transport process by transportation modes can be understood by transport chains and the physical distribution process of sea freight is to be grasped by supply chains.
