There is a serious risk of regional extinction due to low birth rate and aging in Korea. Accordingly, the regional extinction index is applied to diagnose the extinction status of cities, counties, and districts. However, when the regional extinction index was applied to rural villages, most villages were found to be at 'high risk of extinction'. There is no differentiation in the level of extinction of rural villages. Therefore, a village extinction index was developed to apply to rural villages. This study applies and compares the existing regional extinction index and the newly developed village extinction index to rural villages. The purpose is to propose an index that can better diagnose the extinction of rural villages. As a research method, the regional extinction index and village extinction index are applied to all villages in Haengjeong-ri villages in South Chungcheong Province. And the adequacy of the index suitable for rural villages is diagnosed. For this purpose, ➂ stage distribution for each two indices, ➂ demographic aspect diagnosis, and ➂ resident awareness survey were analyzed. When the village extinction index was used, the discrimination problems seen in the regional extinction index were overcome. As a result of the demographic analysis, the regional extinction index showed that villages with a population of 200 or more were at 'high risk of extinction', but the village extinction index was derived as 'high risk of extinction' for villages with underpopulated populations. Lastly, the results of the residents' awareness survey also showed that the village extinction index was well reflected in the actual situation of rural villages when applied. When the village extinction index was applied to rural villages rather than the regional extinction index, it was found to reflect the actual state of rural extinction better.

Background: This study purposed to analyze the relationship between the local extinction index and medical service uses of chronic diseases. The local extinction index is an indicator of the demographic structure and population aging of the region. Methods: The 2014-2018 statistics of National Health Insurance Corporation and Korean Statistical Information Service data were used for the analysis. First, descriptive statistics were used to analyze the general status of research variables. Second, a panel analysis was performed to analyze the relationship between the local extinction index and medical service uses of chronic diseases (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, periodontal disease, arthritis, mental health, epidemic disease, liver disease). Medical service uses were measured by the number of visits/inpatient days and medical charges of seven chronic diseases. Results: Panel analysis results showed that higher local extinction risks (meaning lower local extinction index) had a positive relationship with the number of visits/inpatient days and medical charges of chronic diseases. But the relationships were varied when the seven chronic diseases were analyzed separately. Conclusion: This study showed a significant relationship between the local demographic structure and medical service uses of chronic disease. Analyzing the local demographic structure will be an essential prerequisite step for implementing appropriate regional health care policies.

Accelerated ageing with low fertility is one of the most critical problems in Korea. Because of ageing via low fertility, Korea will face a serious demographic cliff. This research primarily focus on the analyzing the dynamics of the marginal ageing state and decreasing population especially in Eup and Myeon region. This study based on the system dynamics approaches for finding causal loop structure of marginal ageing and critical mass of population disappearing. The results of this study are summarized as follows. First, demographic marginalization trends have already begun in the Eups and Myons of Gun. Second, marginal aging speed in Eup/Myeon areas is causing an population disappearing in the near future. Third, critical mass of population disappearing will begin when the rate of marginal aging is exceed 82% after 2023.

We investigated colonization and extinction patterns in a meta population of the gold-spotted pond frog (Rana planeyi ehoseniea) near the Korea National University of Education, Chungbuk, Korea, by surveying the frogs in the nine occupied habitat patches in the study area four times per breeding season for three years (2006$\sim$2008) and recording whether the patches were occupied by frogs as well as how many frogs were calling in the patches. We then developed five a priori year-specific models using the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC). The models predicted that: 1) probabilities of colonization and local extinction of the frogs were better explained by year-dependent models than by constant models, 2) there are high local extinction and low colonization probabilities, 3) approximately 31% number of patches will be occupied at equilibrium, and 4) that considerable variation in occupation rate should occur over a 30-year period, due to demographic stochasticity (in our model, the occupation rate ranged from 0.222 to 0.889). Our results suggest that colonization is important in this metapopulation system, which is governed by mainly stochastic components, and that more constructive conservation effects are needed to increase local colonization rates.

Background: This study purposed to analyze the relationship between extinction risk regions and amenable mortality. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study based on the statistics of 2018 which was extracted from the 228 administrative districts in Korea. Cause of death statistics on each region in 2018 was used to produce the age-adjusted amenable mortality. Regional characteristics were measured by demographic factors, health behavior factors, socioeconomic factors, and medical resources factors. Multiple linear regression model was applied to test their relationship. Results: Results showed that extinction risk regions, crude divorce rates, national cancer screening rates, and independent rate of finance were significantly related to the amenable mortality. Conclusion: The study demonstrated differences in health status by the extinction risks of regions. This study suggests that the use of customized community care program can provide integrated services such as housing, health care or the use of information and communications technology which can make early diagnosis.

The Oriental White Stork (Ciconia boyciana) is a representative wetland species distributed across East Asia. The species has been declined to face the threat of species extinctions with estimation of at about 3000 individuals. In order to re-introduce the endangered storks in the field, we developed a baseline model using the program VORTEX, performed sensitivity test, and finally suggested an ideal model based on results of the sensitivity test. The baseline model predicted 12.5% extinction probability with mean time to first extinction of 82.0 year. Sensitivity test revealed that two demographic variables (first-year mortality and percent of adult female breeding) had the greatest impacts on population persistence. Thus, corrected model improved the population persistence, where the extinction probability decreased to 1.0% in 100 years by changing values of two variables within a range of applicable to the population. Our models for stork re-introduction suggest this population will be stable by improving first-year mortality and adult female fecundity.

최근 우리나라는 인구감소 문제를 겪으며 기존의 외연적 확산을 지향하는 개발방식은 주택, 기반시설의 공급과잉, 부동산 방치 등의 다양한 도시문제를 발생시키고 있다. 이를 최소화할 수 있는 해결책으로 도시기능을 주요 거점에 모으는 압축적이고 고밀의 공간구조로의 전환이 촉구되고 있다. 그러나 단순 물리적 압축이 아닌 오늘날의 인구구조 변화, 산업구조의 변화 등에 따른 기능적 연계성 및 연결성을 고려한 압축도시가 필요하다. 이러한 관점에서 본 연구는 저출산, 고령화, 인구감소 등으로 인하여 소멸위기를 겪고 있는 국내 소멸위험도시들의 압축성을 측정하고 공간구조적 특성을 살펴보았다. 기존 연구들에서 사용되었던 압축성 평가지표와 더불어 공간구문론을 활용한 연결성 지표를 포함하여 6개의 지표(인구, 토지이용, 생활서비스 접근성, 교통 접근성, 연결성, 집중성)의 압축성을 비교·분석하고, 종합적인 압축지수를 산정하였다. 분석결과, 종합 압축지수 기준 1등급 지역이 2.3%, 2등급 지역이 4.6%, 3등급 지역이 16.09%, 4등급 지역이 43.68%, 5등급 지역이 33.33%로 분류되어 전반적 압축도는 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 이때 압축지수에 영향을 미치는 도시특성이 지역에 따라 다르므로 각 지역의 압축지표별 영향력을 고려하여 소멸위험 대책과 공간정책을 수립할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 공간구문론을 활용하여 연결성을 측정하였으며, 소멸위험도시들의 압축도를 정량적으로 비교·분석하였다는 점에서 의미가 크며, 소멸위험도시의 공간전략 수립에 중요한 자료로 활용되기를 기대한다.

광릉요강꽃(Cypripedium japonicum Thunb.)은 한국, 중국, 일본에 분포하는 동아시아 특산식물로, 지구 수준의 IUCN Red List "위기(Endangered, EN)"로 평가되며, 한국의 국가 Red List에서는 "멸종위기(Critically Endangered, CR)"에 포함된다. 본 연구는 광릉요강꽃 자생지에서 7년 동안 수행된 개체통계학적(demographic) 모니터링 자료를 바탕으로 개체군 구조 및 변화양상을 분석하고, 개체군의 지속성에 대하여 예측하였다. 광릉요강꽃은 국내 7개 지역(포천, 가평, 화천, 춘천, 영동, 무주, 광양)에서 자생지가 관찰되었고, 15개 아개체군에 4,356개체가 생육하는 것으로 확인되었다. 개체군 크기 및 구조는 지역별로 상이하였으며, 인위적 관리가 개체군 크기 및 구조 변화에 중요한 영향을 미치고 있었다. 7년 동안 개체 수 변화를 모니터링한 결과 광릉요강꽃의 개체군 생존력(Population Viability Analysis, PVA)은 지역별로 다양한 경향을 보였다: 향후 1세기 안에 멸절할 가능성은 포천 0.00%, 광양 10.90%, 춘천 24.05%, 화천 79.50%로 예측되었다. 모니터링이 수행된 위 연구지역은 현지 내 보호시설로 인위적 출입을 제한하고 있어 광릉요강꽃의 최대 위협요인인 인위적 남획 변수가 개체군 생존력에 반영되지 않았다. 즉, 실질적인 멸절 위험도는 본 연구에서 추정된 값보다 현저하게 클 것으로 예상된다. 국내 광릉요강꽃 개체군의 멸절위험도의 객관적 판단을 위해서는 향후 다양한 위협요인이 있는 여러 지역의 개체군 정보가 반영될 필요가 있으며, 국내·외로 광릉요강꽃 개체군에 대한 개체통계학적 모니터링을 확대해 나가야 할 것이다.

This research primarily aims at analyzing major crises originating from marginalizing population, especially in counties. In addition, based on the system dynamics approaches, it pays attention to divulging causal loop structure which has been rather strengthened by diverse interactions among key variables. Judging from simulation works, even though Korea is exposed to unprecedented aging trends over decades, its counter response seems inadequate and insufficient, mostly dismissing a series of impact embedded in the aging dynamics. This research statistically confirms that demographic marginalization trends have already begun in the villages within Eup and Myon counties. Furthermore, this research pinpoints out the fact that it would be almost impossible for majority of villages within Eup and Myon counties to escape from going out of existence in the course of time, as they tend to be entrapped vicious cycle of marginalization or extinction.
