Traditional ODA to North Korea (NK) has been unsustainable and politically contentious. This study proposes the design of appropriate technology (AT) as an alternative. We identified NK residents' urgent needs and global AT instances, and classified data by Maslow's hierarchy of needs. As electricity and potable water were identified as primary needs, suitable AT cases were selected. Given NK's extreme isolation, collaborative AT practices with local residents are unfeasible. Therefore we propose a new AT adoption model customized to NK, which emphasizes community-level adoption. We proposed a solar charging station for cooperative farms, a re-design of an AT previously utilized in Africa, and tailored it to fit our proposed model. The study's significance lies in its novel AT adoption model for NK's unique social fabric and the proposition of a specific design case, thus transcending previous relevant studies exploring AT's potential for NK.

섬진강댐은 100년빈도 홍수에 대응토록 설계되어 홍수조절 능력이 타 다목적댐 대비 상대적으로 취약함에 따라 댐운영 체계 개선이 필요하다. 이에따라 K-water는 홍수시 피해를 최소화 할 수 있도록 댐운영과 관련한 홍수대응 체계를 개선하였다. 주요 개선대책은 섬진강 홍수조절용량 추가확보, 홍수기 강우특성을 고려한 홍수조절, 하류주민 및 기관과 소통에 기반한 정보 공유체계 확립, 디지털 트윈 기반 댐 운영 의사결정시스템 구축이다. 섬진강댐의 건설홍수조절용량은 3천만m³으로, 타 다목적댐 설계빈도인 200년 대비 홍수대응 능력이 미흡하다. 이에따라, 섬진강댐은 '21.1월부터 '22.12월까지 홍수기 제한수위를 기존 197.7m에서 2.5m 낮춘 194.0m로 시범운영하고 있다. 이를통해 기존 3천만m³에서 9천만m³까지 6천만m³의 홍수조절용량을 추가 확보하였다. 이와 연계하여 홍수기 동안 섬진강댐 운영수위 기준을 별도 수립하여 홍수기 전·후반으로 나누었으며, 전반기(~7/31)는 '20년 홍수상황에서 발생한 더블피크 집중호우(360mm)에 대응가능한 홍수조절능력을 확보하고, 후반기(8/1~)는 홍수조절능력을 최대한 확보함과 동시에 차년도 용수공급을 대비할 수 있도록 운영수위를 개선하였다. 그간 수문방류 정보는 '댐 관리규정'에 따라 방류개시 3시간 전까지 방류계획을 하류지역의 지자체 및 주민에게 통보하였으나, 하류주민들이 충분히 사전준비하기에 시간적으로 부족하다는 의견을 제시함에 따라 수문방류 24시간전 사전 안내토록 '수문방류 예고제'를 도입, 시행하였다. '댐 홍수관리 소통회의'를 통해 댐 운영기관-정부기관-주민이 댐 운영에 대한 전반에 대해 함께 공유하고 운영 제약사항 및 개선사항을 공동 발굴하여 대책을 마련하는 체계를 구축하였다. 댐 운영 개선사항과 더불어 댐방류 의사결정시, 실시간 하류하천 상황에 대한 확인이 어려움에 따라, 3D기반 의사결정 지원시스템인 Digita Twin Platform을 개발 및 구축하여 '22년부터 섬진강댐 운영에 시범적용을 추진하고자 한다.

The study identifies the major themes for integration education program which enhances the relationship between the north Korean refugees and their south Korean hosts. The themes were selected based on qualitative analysis of the socio-cultural conflicts experienced by the refugees and the hosts in the acculturation process. Twenty-eight north Korean refugees over age 20 participated in semi-structured interviews, and two south Korean groups in close contact with the refugees, police and volunteer teachers, were interviewed in focus groups. The interviews were recorded and transcribed for categorization and coding. The study views the acculturation issue as the two-sided integration task for both the north Korean refugees and the south Korean hosts rather than as the one-sided acceptance and assimilation task for the refugees.

The purpose of this study is to prepare basic data for establishing a mid-to long-term comprehensive development plan for Gangdong-gu libraries by analyzing the results of a perception survey conducted on local residents, librarians and operators. To achieve the research purpose, a survey was conducted targeting 1,224 library users and non-users in Gangdong-gu. To collect more in-depth opinions, focus group interviews were also conducted with local residents, librarians at public libraries and book cafe libraries, and operators of small libraries. As a result, for the efficient operation of the Gangdong-gu library, it is necessary to establish the role of each library to adjust and reorganize specialization to form an ecosystem, to introduce services and programs without time and space restrictions required in the information society, and to actively promote and attract non-users to the library. The conclusion drawn is that it is necessary to establish a system and support system that can encompass various types of libraries.

The purpose of this study was to identify citizens' needs and what they perceive the health-related problems are so public opinion can be reflected in the Daegu Community Health Plan. A citizen participation group was organized, and two roundtable discussions were held in June and July 2018. The number of participants in the first and second round was 40 and 44, respectively. Customer itinerary guidance, DVDM (Definition, Value, Difficulty, and Method) Map, and Persona-based scenario method were used for the roundtable discussions. The measures to improve the health status proposed by the citizens included expanding access to health services, establishing health services centered on small-living areas, expanding mental health services, creating health-friendly environments, resolving environmental problems, and improving social health. In addition, enhancing communication and creating harmonized environments, improving access to healthcare, generating pleasant physical environments, and assigning socials roles for vulnerable individuals were brought up as the means to resolve health disparities. The strength of the present study lies in the fact that, unlike survey methods, the citizens' exact needs were identified by sharing their thoughts. Moreover, it was proven that practical measures would be needed to implement citizen participation in planning health-related projects.

This study was conducted to investigate the awareness of spent nuclear fuel among residents in nuclear power plant areas and use it as basic data for establishing a disposal facility for high-level radioactive waste. 204 questionnaires collected online were analyzed using SPSS Window Ver 28.0. To verify differences between groups, t-test and one-way ANOVA were performed. And correlation analysis was conducted to confirm the relationship between variables. As a result, first, risk perception regarding nuclear-related accidents showed statistically significant differences depending on gender and educational level. The position on the construction of a permanent disposal facility for spent nuclear fuel showed a statistically significant difference depending on gender, education, and age, and the perception of the importance of each evaluation standard for establishing a spent nuclear fuel management plan showed a statistically significant difference depending on education and age. In terms of trust in information-providing institutions, trust in the National Assembly was found to be the lowest. Second, the results of the correlation analysis between variables showed that local residents are aware that an alternative to the current disposal of spent nuclear fuel is needed, and that financial support for the construction of a permanent disposal facility is needed. Therefore, in order to build a high-level radioactive waste disposal site, it is believed that it is necessary to increase trust in the government, collect opinions from local residents, and provide economic support.

The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) converts people's judgment criteria into objective numerical values using pairwise comparisons. However, the need for an excessive number of pairwise comparisons poses a problem. To mitigate this issue, most existing studies have utilized the process separation approach. The method of process separation devised in this study is a "separation and integration approach," where 1) the standard AHP process is used for evaluating judgment criteria, and 2) the Multi-Attributive Utility Technique (MAUT) is applied for comparing alternatives. This AHP-MAUT Hybrid model was applied to a real analysis case, specifically analyzing the transportation choices of commuters between Bundang and Gangnam Station in Gyeonggi Province. The results showed that the computational process was reduced by 42.03% when applying the Hybrid model compared to using the AHP model alone. Furthermore, the choice results of residents using the Hybrid model were compared with those using the standard AHP. The consistency between the two models' choices was 82.1%, indicating a significant level of consistency. In conclusion, this study contributes by presenting a simpler, more convenient, yet equally effective Hybrid model as a new decision-support system alternative to AHP.

There is growing concern about landscape agreement with regard to a variety of activities within resident-based agreements in Korea. This study aims to investigate the communication method of the agreement contacting process and its essential role as a bottom-up resident-based process. The study site is Gobuk Market in Suwon city, where a resident-based landscape agreement was successfully made. In this study, the author implemented in-depth interviews and a literature review to understand the meaning of the agreement contracting process and participants' opinions regarding the Gobuk Market case. During the landscape contracting process, the level of participation of residents, experts and the government changed. The study found that diverse communication methods, such as training, agreement information sessions and seminars were conducted during the process of the resident-based landscape agreement and it is crucial to construct healthy relationship among stakeholders. Furthermore, the experts' role is crucial in establishing agreement among residents initially. However, as local empowerment and the willingness of local people grow, each stakeholder's role is changed by stage. Therefore the Central and Local Government have the necessary task of providing institutional strategy. This study has offered practical information on how each stakeholder played their individual role within the landscape agreement.
