This study analyzes the awareness of citizens towards the autonomous integration process between Goesan-gun and Jeungpyoung-gun. According to the survey, the citizens of Goesan-gun agreed on the integration, but the citizens of Jeungpyoung-gun disagreed on the plan. This result is different from the findings of the opinion surveys which were conducted in 2009 and 2012. The reason why some citizens agreed on the integration is that the integration will help more with the systematic administration service and the convenience of administrative process. Also the citizens are expecting the expansion of the convenient facilities and the economic growth through the local festivals. In the political view, it will cut the operating cost of the two provinces. However, there are some reasons for the disagreement of the integration. The first reason is that the independent development will be more beneficial for each province. And it will be more effective if each province separately promotes the local festivals to be more productive. Nevertheless, the citizens in both areas admit the necessity of the population influx and elevating the local economy for both provinces. These two areas are expecting to have the autonomous local economy and the complementary and competitive relationship with the nearby metropolitan councils while building the Jungwon cultural zone which is supported by the regional association.

This study shared with community mapping participants spatial analysis information, collected using smart devices, to give them an opportunity to objectively review their opinions. The study examined the impact of sharing such spatial information on residents' decision-making and perceptions. Yeongju-dong in Jung-gu district of Busan Metropolitan City, South Korea was selected for the case study; community mapping was carried out in Yeongju-dong to identify hazardous areas to improve pedestrian safety of primary school students. The community mapping participants drew a preliminary hazard map based on their experience and perception. Then, they drew a second hazard map after being given spatial information on pedestrian safety installations and pedestrian flow collected with smart devices including drones and sensors. Numerous changes in ranking across various sections occurred when the two maps were compared. There was a climb in the ranking of areas where the pedestrian flow was higher and lacked safety installations based on objective measurements over the perceptions of the participating people. Furthermore, according to a survey conducted among the participants, the provision of spatial analysis information using smart devices during community mapping process not only helped them recognize local community problems, but also raised their expectations that their submitted opinions would be reflected in policies. Moreover, the participants demonstrated increased self-confidence and faith in themselves as they were able to have more trust in the outcome they created.

현재 지역적으로 일반 주민들이 실시하는 하천 모니터링 결과들이 지역별, 유역별로 일부 존재하나 모니터링 방법이 달라 일관되고 정확한 통계를 얻을 수 없다. 특히 사용하고 있는 모니터링 기법이 전문가 중심의 내용으로 되어 있고 오래전에 도입된 매뉴얼들로써 실질적 모니터링의 효과를 보기 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 일반 시민들이 알기 쉽게 하천 모니터링을 실시할 수 있는, 시민참여형 하천 모니터링 인자(항목) 개발하고, 개발된 모니터링 인자들을 이용하여 일반 시민들이 손쉽게 판단할 수 있도록 모니터링 방법론을 정립하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 현지 하천을 대상으로 직접 모니터링을 실시하여 그 결과를 검토하고 미비점을 보완하였다. 일반적으로 조사 구간은 1000m를 기본으로 하며, 이 경우 조사 구간에는 하천환경 상태가 일정할 수 없다. 따라서 조사 구간 내의 지배적인 현황을 고려하여 모니터링을 실시하며, 조사표에 모니터링의 지배적인 현황 결과를 기입하는 것이 요구된다. 본 연구에서 도출된 모니터링 기법은 일반 시민들이 쉽게 대상 하천의 하천환경 상태를 판단할 수 있는 것으로서, 앞으로 활용도가 높을 것으로 판단된다. 추후 많은 시민들의 모니터링 결과를 바탕으로 본 매뉴얼이 수정, 보완되는 것이 바람직할 것이다.

조사연구에서 조사대상의 모집단을 대표할 수 있는 표본을 추출하는 것은 조사결과를 그 모집단에 일반화시키기 위해 서는 필수적이다. 국민건강영양조사에서는 확률표출방법을 이용하여 우리나라 국민의 영양실태에 관해 대표성 있는 정보를 얻고 있는 반면, 개개인의 연구자가 일부 지역 주민을 대상으로 하는 소규모의 영양조사에서는 과학적인 표출방법을 이용하여 표본을 추출하는 것이 매우 어렵기 때문에 대부분의 경우 자원자를 대상으로 하거나 임의로 표본을 선정하는 실정이다.(중략)

As Korea becomes a multi-cultural society, Korean government ministries are enforcing various multi-cultural services. Especially, Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, which is in charge of public libraries, is operating multi-cultural services for cultural diversity. The trends in the research on the multi-cultural services in public libraries, however, are rather on adaptation of the multi-cultural people in Korea than on the cultural diversity. In this exploratory study, we investigated the perception of local residences on multi-cultural library services with several in-depth interviews with the local residences not only for the adaptation but also for the cultural diversity. The results shows that they tended to regard public libraries as an institution of local life-long education, and then they think public libraries can take a role for coping with social adaptation and prevention of social problems in terms of multi-cultural population. Based on the results, public libraries would better consider to inform their roles in this multi-cultural society to their local residences based not only on adaptation but also on cultural diversity. For this, the libraries would develop programs, in which both multi-cultural and non-multi-cultural people can be participated, to encourage communication between them.
