Among the participants of the 2012 Korea Medical Panel survey, 308 people who have used emergency, hospitalization and outpatient services for cancer have been selected. The average annual direct cost per cancer patient was analyzed by adding up the patient's medical expenses, industrial copayments, and non-salary costs. The average annual direct direct cost of cancer spent by cancer patients is about 129,093,792 per male, 158,100,612 won for men and 110,482,075 for women.For those with health insurance, the total direct cost per person from cancer was 183,095,125 won and the beneficiaries were 46,241,705 won. By household income, the average annual direct direct costs per person were 112,459,971 won per patient in the household income quartile, 137,910,890 won for patients in the second quartile, 149,556,570 won in the third quartile and 112,730,461 won, quartile 5, respectively.Was 142,926,331 won.

This study analyzed the size and influence factors of annual average health expenditure according to job type. Using data from the Korea Health Panel (2012), the final analysis was conducted on adults aged 20 years or older, excluding the missing data. Data analysis was done by logistic regression analysis to analyze the factors affecting medical expenditure. As a result of the study, Model 1 showed higher expenditure on medical expenses by skilled workers in agriculture and forestry fishery than those in simple labor. Model 2 was analyzed as having a positive effect on the increase of medical expenditure by the simple worker in the sales of the occupation, statistically significant by sex, marriage, income level and chronic disease. Therefore, it would be necessary to establish social security and health care & welfare policies, in order to grasp the disease with a high frequency rate according to occupation status and activate the physical examination and preventive actions.

Background: Dentist's income is quite variable. We investigate the factors underlying the distribution of dental revenue and dentist income. Methods: Financial and structural variables of private dental practices(N=13,967) were examined with 2010 Economic Census microdata which include non-insurance revenue. We conducted quantile regression method(QRM) and ordinary least square(OLS) in treating skewness and heteroskedasticity of distributions. The effective estimation for the upper and lower range of distribution becomes possible by QRM. Results: Mid-career dentists are shown to have higher revenue and income. Male dentists achieve the higher revenue and income than female dentists in all quantiles. Group practices show lower income per owner than solo practices significantly. The revenue and income are increased with increasing size of clinics. The high cost in renting the clinic office is found to have a big positive effect on the revenue but a little positive effect on the income. Interestingly the density of dentists shows negative effect on the lowest quantile of the revenue but positive effect on the highest quantile. The lowest quantile of the revenue in the capital areas have the relatively high revenue. The lowest quantile of the income in metropolitan city show higher income than those in other areas significantly. Conclusion: The suggested QRM is shown to have more effective and efficient tool in finding out determinants of dentists' revenue and income of our concern. The results of this study are expected to be employed for dentists preparing for the opening practices in their organizational settings and locational selections. The distributional efficiency of dental human resources could be accomplished if policy makers guide dentists with this knowledge.

This study is a descriptive exploratory research aimed at identifying factors influencing the health-related quality of life(HRQOL) in middle-aged and senior-aged patients with complex chronic diseases. The study participants were extracted from the Korean Medical Panel annual data. A total of 2,408 patients, with two or more chronic diseases were included. The data were analyzed using STATA 15.0 software through descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, and multiple linear regression analysis. The research findings indicate that in middle-aged patients, educational level, household income, economic activity, stress, experience of despair, and basic needs satisfaction positively influence health-related quality of life. On the other hand, types of medical insurance, depressive feelings, and suicidal ideation exert a negative impact. In the case of senior-aged patients, positive influences on health-related quality of life were observed for educational level, household income, economic activity, alcohol consumption, stress, experience of despair, and basic needs satisfaction. Conversely, negative influences were noted for marital status, types of medical insurance, depressive feelings, and suicidal ideation. Therefore, in order to enhance the HRQOL for middle-aged and senior-aged patients with complex chronic diseases, tailored policies considering individual and age-specific characteristics should be formulated.

전 세계적으로 물과 관련된 자연재해 피해가 지속적으로 증가하고 있고 세계재난데이터베이스(EM-DAT)에서 집계한 물과 관련된 중요한 자연재해의 피해액은 지난 50년 동안 많은 투자에도 불구하고 여전히 피해액이 증가되고 있다. 특히, 우리나의 경우, 전 국토의 70% 이상이 산악지형으로 구성된 지형적 요인, 인구 및 사회기반시설이 집중되는 도시지역의 확대 현상, 빈번히 발생되는 이상강우와 강우강도의 증가 등으로 전국 곳곳에서 큰 침수피해가 반복적으로 발생하고 있다. 이러한 도시침수의 저감대책을 마련하기 위해 정부부처에서 도시계획적 및 방재차원에서 관련 정책을 제시하고 있지만 실무적 측면에서 실효성이 낮은 실정이다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 지자체 담당자의 업무부담을 줄여주면서 기술지원이 가능한 도시침수 위험도 관리시스템을 구축하고자 한다. 이에 따라 재해에 대해 평상시 위험도 정보를 기초로 시설투자, 개발계획 조정 등 사전대책을 마련할 수 있는 도시침수의 위험정도에 따른 지역 분석과 중점관리 대상지 선정 기준이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 재해통계자료를 토대로 전국 226개 지자체에 대해, 최근 8년(2008~2014년) 간 발생된 호우 발생빈도와 피해액의 관계분석을 통하여 도시침수의 위험지역을 분류하였다. 국가재난정보센터의 재난통계기록의 호우발생횟수와 도시침수에 대한 피해정도를 고려하기 위해 건물과 공공시설에 대한 피해액을 분석항목으로 적용하였다. 이에 대한 도시지역의 침수발생에 대한 중점관리대상지 선정을 위하여 각 행정구역의 면적계수를 적용한 뒤 분위분석을 실시하였다. 호우 발생빈도와 피해액에 따라 위험도가 75% 이상으로 도시의 침수피해가 가장 높은 지역, 50% 이상이며 75% 미만인 지역, 25% 이상이며 50% 미만인 지역, 25% 미만으로 위험도가 가장 낮은 지역으로 도시침수 위험지역을 상세 분류하고 도시침수에 의한 중점관리가 필요한 대상지 35개 지역을 선정하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 지역의 도시계획 및 방재 측면에서 도시침수와 관련된 저감대책을 고려 시 기초자료로 활용 가능하고, 지자체별 지원 규모 설정 시 적정 기준제시가 가능할 것이다.

This study aims to explore how manufacturing start-up activities from 2000 to 2018 have changed spatially and to predict changes in distribution patterns of future start-up activities. For the analysis, the Census on Establishments microdata from 2000 to 2018 were used, and the manufacturing industry was classified into four detailed industrial groups according to the 40 manufacturing standards presented by the Korea Institute for Industrial Economics and Trade's ISTANS. According to the results, start-up activities in industries that require high technology levels are concentrated in southern Gyeonggi region, and other start-up activities are concentrated outside of the metropolitan area. When the distribution change from 2018 to 2036, extending the trend from 2000 to 2018, it was confirmed that there was a high possibility of a rise in the hierarchy in the future in regions adjacent to regions where start-up activities occur. This study aimed to provide implications for regional policies related to fostering start-ups and creating jobs by dynamically analyzing the location pattern of manufacturing start-ups, which is a major source of job creation.
