Sinkholes have occurred in various places around the world and concerns about public safety have been raised in recent years. Particularly, a ground subsidence may occur due to a variety of conditions when developing underground spaces. Ground subsidence refers to the sinking of the Earth's surface caused by the loss of the soil constituting ground due to a certain artificial cause in the ground. Ground subsidence is induced by artificial causes such as the leakage of water supply/sewage pipes and groundwater disturbance, and it is different from a sinkhole, where the sinking of the Earth's surface is induced by the cavity formed due to the melting of limestone in the ground with limestone bedrock. In recent underground development in the urban areas of Korea, damages to surrounding buildings have frequently led to many difficulties with civil complaints and compensation issues, and the collapse of some buildings has resulted in the loss of lives and property. Accordingly, the central government has legislated the Special Act on Underground Safety Management, which will take effect from January 1, 2018. This law specifies an underground safety management system for securing underground safety, under which underground safety impact assessment is performed for projects involving underground excavation work that exceeds a certain size, and safety inspection is regularly performed for underground facilities and the surrounding ground. In this study, the contents of the special act on underground safety management are reviewed, and the direction of development of underground safety policy for preparing preemptive underground safety management preparation and response system is suggested.

수명의 연장과 생활수준의 향상으로 인해 건강하고 아름다운 삶에 대한 관심과 욕구가 높아지고 이에 따라 미용 서비스 산업은 급격한 신장을 이루었고 이러한 미용업의 발달로 인해 미용분야는 전문화·세분화 되고 있다. 하지만 현재 우리나라는 이러한 미용업의 발전을 뒷받침할 수 있는 독립적 미용업 관련 법률을 갖추지 못하고 공중위생관리법으로 미용분야의 규율이 이루어지고 있다. 이에 미용산업의 독자적인 발전을 도모하고 미용업의 특성에 맞는 법적 규제를 위해서는 미용관련 독자적인 법률의 제정이 요구된다. 미용관련 독자적 법률의 제정의 방향은 면허권자를 보건복지부 장관으로 하고, 전문분야별 세부적 면허제도를 마련함이 필요하다. 또한 학력에 따른 지식이나 기술을 고려하여 면허의 종류에 따라 할 수 있는 업무범위 또는 개설영업범위를 달리하는 방법 등을 마련하여야 하고, 미용업에 대한 면허제도의 합리적 정비를 전제로 미용업 개설의 신고제는 유지됨이 타당하다.

The purpose of Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is an integral component of decisions on proposed plans, projects, and actions. Adapted from the National Environmental Policy Act(NEPA, 1969) environmental impact statement in Korea has aimed to analyse and prepare the mitigation in the process of big scale development and major industrial planning. During the past 19 years EIS has played the central role for the environmental issues in the process of economic development. Nevertheless EIS act needs some modification in the system as well as in the contents of evaluation process. EIS should be served as decision-making process by assessing environmental issues in the beginning stage of proposed actions. Other consideration was suggested to make EIS system better used for environment conservation.

Purpose : It was to find out demand and supply of EMT from 2007 to 2045 and to expand scope of practice of paramedic in Korea. Methods : This study was conducted by applying a projection formula to the data from admission quota for EMT of the Ministry of Education & Human Resources Development, rate of successful candidates of annual report of the National Health Personnel Licensing Examination Board etc. Results : The number of EMTs were 6,043 paramedics, 5,378 EMT-Bs until 2006 and two produce constants derived from simple estimation were paramedic 0.81, EMT-B 0.86. On the American basis of 5.6 EMTs per 10,000, the number of paramedics under the present act will reach the basis around 2015(5.02), the number of paramedics under the amended act will reach the basis around 2030(5.50). Conclusion : There was relationship between scope of practice of paramedic in the act and demand-supply of paramedic, this necessitates surveys, studies, amendment of the act, legalization for expanded scope of practice of paramedic.

This study tried to propose the guidelines for the ecological preservation zoning in Korea. So some related laws and regulations were inspected, which were Natural Environment Preservation Act, Nature Park Act, Cultural Asset Conservation Act, Forest Act and Urban Planning Act. In these acts, I could find several concepts related to the ecosystem that are described as the protection area. But there aren't detailed and practical characteristics in those concepts. So for making the practical concept of ecosystem preservation, I considered Multiple Use Module, Wildlife habitat model, and Environmental evaluation model. Thorough this step, the process and methodology was established for evaluating and analysing. The potentiality of the GIS system was inspected. So the TM5 scene of the site was acquired and processed by ER-Mapper, Idrisi, Arc/Info and Arcview. And several digitized data were input by scanning and vecterizing. The Erdas format was mostly exchangeable to any program. The site is the Byonsan Peninsula National Park. The forest stand information and topographic data were digitized, types of which are forest year, DBH, density, slope, aspect etc. And also the watershed boundary, roads and paths, natural and cultural resources were mapped and analysed. Modelling of preservation suitability found the dispersed patterns for the best suitable zone through all the site. And the development potential areas were checked on downwatershed. This patterns are thought to result from the forest location for the wildlife habitat and the low altitude and no-steep slopes for developing. And Early warning system concept was introduced by overlapping these two patterns on the both potential area. As the conclusions, I proposed that the preservation zone be assigned according to the watershed unit as the main ecosystem zone. This main area should be linked by the eco-corridor through the point type eco-system. Finally, I thought the comprehensive information system should be established for making the rational and efficient decision making in natural area.

During the past decade, functional foods and nutraceuticals have emerged as a major consumer-driven trend, serving the desire of aging populations to exercise greater control over health, delaying aging, prevent disease and enhance well-being and performance. On a global basis, retail sales of functional food were worth an estimated USD 1,501 billion in 2001. The market for functional food in Korea has increased in the last three years above 10%. Especially value sales rose by over 30% between 1999 and 2001, and are worth around 12,000 billion won in 2001. To regulate functional food represented a rapidly growing market in Korea a new act 'Functional Health Food Act' was announced officially in 2002. The type of functional milk product in Korea market is conventional food containing various functional ingredient. To promote functional food market in milk product sector the introduction of functional and health claim should be taken into account in the future in Korea.

S-Adenosylmethionine (SAM) was previously documented to activate secondary metabolism in a variety of Streptomyces spp. and to promote actinorhodin (ACT) and undecylprodigiosin (RED) in Streptomyces coelicolor. The SAM-induced proteins in S. coelicolor include several ABC transporter components (SCO5260 and SCO5477) including BldKB, the component of a well-known regulatory factor for differentiations. In order to assess the role of these ABC transporter complexes in differentiation of Streptomyces, SCO5260 and SCO5476, the first genes from the cognate complex clusters, were individually inactivated by gene replacement. Inactivation of either SCO5260 or SCO5476 led to impaired sporulation on agar medium, with the more drastic defect in the SCO5260 null mutant (${\Delta}SCO5260$). ${\Delta}SCO5260$ displayed growth retardation and reduced yields of ACT and RED in liquid cultures. In addition, SAM supplementation failed in promoting the production of ACT and RED in ${\Delta}SCO5260$. Inactivation of SCO5476 gave no significant change in growth and production of ACT and RED, but impaired the promoting effect of SAM on ACT production without interfering with the effect on RED production. The present study suggests that SAM induces several ABC transporters to modulate secondary metabolism and morphological development in S. coelicolor.
