Traditionally, a congestion charge based on first-best congestion pricing theory, namely, the theory of marginal cost pricing theory, is equal to the difference between marginal social cost and marginal private cost. It is charged on each link so as to derive a user equilibrium flow pattern to a system optimal one. Based on this theory this paper investigates on the characteristics of first-best congestion pricing of multiple user class on road with variable demand, and presents two methods for analysis of social and spatial equity. For these purposes, we study on the characteristics of first-best congestion pricing derived from system optimal in time and in monetary unit, and analyze equity from this congestion pricing with an example network.

This study examines turnover intentions of social workers in the public and private sectors from a comparative perspective. Major findings of this study are as follows: 1. There exists a paradox between public and private social workers that private social workers show their turnover intentions more saliently than public social workers, even though the former is paid much less, but more satisfied with their jobs, and then expresses turnover intentions more often than the latter. 2. The 'voice hypothesis' can be an alternative explanation to figure out why the paradoxical difference exists between the two groups of social workers when we include the mechanism of empowerment into the equations regarding social workers' turnover intentions and job satisfaction. 3. The equity theory of motivation can explain the paradoxical difference if we make use of the meaning of the 'equity' formula which stands for the ratio between inputs and outputs exerted by the social workers.

Many game designers suggested that if players got many objective performance, they could have a fun experience while playing the MMORPG. Does a quantity of objective performance lead to player's fun experience in the MMORPG? According to the Equity Theory, the reason of players getting fun experience is not only that players get reasonable objective performances as many as efforts of theirs but also that amount of their objective performances were same as others. This study analysed that the equity of objective performances would have an effect on the player's fun experience. The results were that the equity of objective performances produced an effect on the players' behavioral intention, flow experience, and cognitive performance. Hence if game designers want that players are interested in the online game playing, they have to support the equity of objective performance to players.

This research explores the relationship between gender equity within family and second birth in Korea. For a factor analysis on the intention of having additional children for women with one child, I have used the data from the 2005 National Survey on Marriage and Fertility Trend" of the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs. Among 516 samples(year of 20-44), women planning to have second birth are 54.7%, and others have answered that they have no intention to have second birth. As a result, main causes affecting progressing to second birth seemed to be family planning on family cycle, such as controlling age gaps between first and second child, composing children genders as they wish etc. The variable of "gender equity between couples" in progressing to second birth are of significant only with married working women group. In case of married working women, more the husband's houseworking hours increase, the more prone to progress to second birth. However, in case of housewives, gender equity level, such as husband's housework hours or share of housework are not of significant influence in progressing to second birth. Not only working mothers but also housewives need the realization of gender equity within the family and the expansion of social support system for work-family life balance.

The purpose of this paper is to determine whether the rate schedule of the Korean income tax system embodies the theoretically desirable distribution of the tax burden by income classes. The paper follows the approach of Young (1990) who has estimated the utility function and calculated the magnitude of sacrifice, i.e., the tax burden. The main point of the study is to estimate the utility function. The estimation results may differ if different data sets are used. Therefore, this paper employs the effective as well as the nominal tax rate schedule. The findings derived in this paper are 1) that the effective rate schedule is more appropriate in estimating the utility function; 2) that the middle class has born the relatively heavier burden over time; 3) that the current income tax credit scheme curtails the tax burden on the middle class while intensifying the tax burden of the lower and upper income classes; 4) that reducing the amount of deduction moves the distribution of tax burdens by income classes closer to the theoretically desirable model; 5) that the rate schedule of the Korean income tax system, particularly in 1991, did not conform to the desired model as did the tax systems of developed countries such as the United States, Italy, Japan, and Germany.

도시주민들은 경제, 문화생활 및 의식수준이 향상됨에 따라 보다 다양하고 양질의 공공서비스를 요구하게 되었다. 주민들의 이러한 요구는 공공서비스 시설의 입지문제와 직결되는 것으로 도시의 입지결정 시 가장 중요한 고려사항 중의 하나는 공공서비스를 보다 저렴하고 편리하게 시민들이 이용할 수 있게 제공함으로써 이용주민들의 복지를 극대화 시켜야한다는 점이다. 이러한 기본 목적을 충족시키기 위해서는 공공시설의 위치결정이 중요한 문제가 된다. 본 논문에서는 접근성 이론과 GIS 공간분석 기법을 접목하여 입지분석을 시행하였으며 연도별 최적입지를 산출하고, 각 구청의 연도별 최적 입지점의 지도화를 통해 그들의 이동 추이를 추적하며 각 구청의 연도별 최적값의 변화 추이를 살펴보았다. 또한 비교분석을 통하여 연도별 현구청의 입지 혹은 이전할 입지의 적합성을 평가하였다. 이를 위해서 입지분석을 위한 이론적 검토로서 공공서비스 시설의 입지이론에 대해 살펴보고 구청사의 입지 적정성을 객관적인 기준에 따라 평가할 수 있는 계량적인 입지분석 방법을 검토 정립하였다. 본 연구에서는 이론적인 근거를 실제 공공시설적용을 위하여 금천구를 선정하였고, 구청의 도시현황을 분석하고, 도로망, 인구추정을 통하여 관련자료를 수집하였다. 이를 토대로 정성적, 정량적 분석 및 효율성과 형평성을 고려하여 구청사 위치의 적정성에 대한 결론을 도출하였다.

The functions of urban park including health related benefit and climate adaptation and mitigation are expanding. However, in-depth research and discourse on the equitable distribution of expanded park function has been limited so far. Following research suggests Green Welfare concept to reflect distributive equity and multifunctionality in the process of urban park policy development and execution. This study developed park welfare indices to analyze disparities of neighborhood urban park(NUP) distribution viewed from green welfare by literature review. The findings analyzed through the Correlation Analysis and Cluster Analysis by SPSS 18.0. The results of the study are as follows. First, green welfare is defined as "to receive equitable benefits and participate in the delivery process of green services which are promoting health and securing safety from climate change risks for every citizen by life cycle regardless of socioeconomic status". Second, NUP per person in Seoul indicate meaningful differences by socioeconomic and environmental status of Seoul administrative districts. Park welfare indices correlated to NUP per person were shown population density(negative), percentage of individuals $aged{\geq}65$(positive), percentage of self-reliance of local finance(positive), flood and air pollution vulnerability by climate change(negative). Third, the cluster analysis identifies three significant clusters that indicate differences of park welfare level. Thus, it was found that NUP in Seoul from a green welfare perspective was provided disproportionately. Future urban park policy in Seoul was required equitable distribution of multifunctionality of park beyond quantitative expansion, and priority consideration should be given to park service consumer.

This research is an application of game theory to developing the supplier selection and demand allocation mechanism, which are the essential and major research areas of supply chain planning and operation. In this research, the most popular and widely accepted mechanism, the progressive reverse auction is analyzed and compared with the other game theoretic approach, Kalai-Smorodinsky Bargaining Solution in the viewpoint of holistic efficiency of supply chain operation. To logically and exquisitely compare the efficiencies, a heuristic algorithm based on Genetic Algorithm is devised to find the other optimal demand allocation plan. A well known metric, profit-cost ratio, as well as profit functions for both suppliers and buyer has been designed for evaluating the overall profitability of supply chain. The experimental results with synthesis data and supply chain model which were made to mimic practical supply chain are illustrated and analyzed to show how the proposed approach can enhance the profitability of supply chain planning. Based on the result, it can be said that the proposed mechanism using bargainging solution mayguarantee the better profitability for the whole supply chin including both suppliers and buyer, even though quite small portion of buyer's profitability should be sacrified.
