U-City는 도시에 IT를 접목하여 도시의 운영과 관리를 효율화하고 다양한 서비스의 도입을 통해 주민들의 복지 향상을 목적으로 하는 신개념의 도시이다. UMC(U-City Management Center)는 U-City의 핵심요소로 U-City의 각종 서비스의 관리 운영을 통제하고, 새로운 부가가치를 생성하는 역할을 한다. 하지만 정보화 사업을 타당성 분석없이 진행하는 경우 전반적인 재정의 운영이라는 정책적인 측면에서 문제가 발생할 소지가 크다. 따라서 UMC 타당성 분석이 선행되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 정보화사업의 타당성 분석을 위한 선행연구들을 분석하고, UMC의 타당성 분석을 위하여 AHP 모델을 적용하였다. 또한 도출된 모델을 이용하여 구축중인 UMC의 타당성을 분석하였으며, 분석 결과 기술적 타당성, 경제적 타당성, 정책적 타당성 중 기술적 타당성이 가장 낮은 것으로 평가되어 향후 기술적 문제를 보완해야함을 도출하였다.

Being rapidly increased in population of the elderly, the welfare of the elderly is no longer family's and personal problems. It is a social issue that have to be solved by the community and the government. Daejeon city government faces the same social issue and should release the solution to the community in the near future. Based on the new trend of deinstitutionalization and community care for the elderly who live in normal home rather than for those in protection systems, the solution could be released to the elderly. This paper is assessed as the first stage research of normalization of the old people's living. By the comparition analysis of the existing Senior Welfare Center in Daejeon city and Japan, the facility space improvement method was considered. And through the above investigation and comparition analysis, the method that extend and improve the welfare facility space of Senior Welfare Center is proposed.

This study investigated the levels of 345 pesticide residues in 50 herbal medicines sold in Incheon metropolitan city to determine their safety. Pesticide residues are harmful substances that can cause serious health problems owing to their toxicity and carcinogenicity. The analysis of pesticide residues in the samples was conducted using the quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) method, known for its high analysis efficiency, to analyze a wide range of pesticides for which no standards have been set. The analysis was cross-validated with the pretreatment method outlined in the Korea Pharmacopoeia. Among the 50 samples encompassing 24 different herbs, 22 pesticide residues were detected in 24 samples, covering 7 distinct herbs, resulting in a detection rate of 48%. It is noteworthy that, except for two cases, all detected pesticides were those for which no standards were set. However, after conducting a risk evaluation considering the daily dosage of herb, it was determined that the levels of pesticide residues were within safe limits. Pesticides with high frequency within the same category of herbs were detected, indicating the necessity for continuous monitoring and regulation. In addition, comparative analysis using the pretreatment method outlined in the Korean Pharmacopoeia, yielded similar results, suggesting the possibility of analyzing pesticide residues in herbs using the QuEChERS method. The study emphasizes the importance of continuous monitoring of pesticide residues in herbs and the development of high-efficiency reliability analysis methods should continue to ensure consumer safety.

Recently, Interests in rehabilitation of the old town center has grown. Incheon city are propelling many renewal plans for the area, Rapid Urbanization and outskirt developments have expanded city space and city center has been weakened and declined. With responds to these phenomena, World's interests on creative city is increasing nowadays and projects of creating creative city from many countries are being launched. Korea is one of the countries who follows this trend and is also proceeding projects on creating creative city. However, identities of our nation and city which have rapidly grown only based on logics of economic growth are disappearing. Hence, this study intend to focus on the cities of creative which draw the participation of its citizens. Thus, this study examining basic theoretical background from literatures, theory, precedent studies related to citizen participation & creative city. Then, the study establish a framework of analysis by extracting principal factors to creative city construction methodology centered on citizen participation. Furthermore, this study suggests the creative city construction methodology of citizen participation centered on for old downtown through survey residents consciousness.

We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies.
