Purpose - This paper attempts to provide an understanding of practice of franchising in eight countries - USA, UK, Australia, Brazil, China, Malaysia, South Africa and Nigeria. The bases of the review are: number of systems and outlets, employment generation, annual turnover, GDP contribution, legal and regulatory frameworks and country-specific franchise business practice nuances. Research design, data and methodology - the paper is descriptive, highlighting elements of the business practice that distinguish one country from another. Documentary data - mainly industry publications supplemented by empirical literature - was used for the review. Result - Although there are commonalities in the technical design and implementation of franchise business practice - especially the business model type - differences exist in terms of legal and regulatory frameworks guiding the industry across the eight countries studied. Conclusion - There are no two countries that have the same franchise practices. Franchise markets in the developed, and to some extent, the emerging economies have saturated. Franchise markets in African countries are at infant stage and thus, these countries are strategizing to attract foreign brands into their domains.

우리나라의 습식 스프링클러설비에서의 수리계산방식은 규약배관방식의 틀에서 벗어나지 못하고 있어 독립적인 방법으로 수리계산을 적용하는데 있어서 제약을 받는다. 이에 따라, 방수밀도개념을 도입하여 시행중인 선진국의 사례를 검토한 결과, 우리나라의 경우에도 수리계산의 설계에 있어 방수밀도개념의 도입이 필요하며, 현행 국가화재 안전기준(NFSC)에서는 수리계산의 한계와 문제점을 해결하는데 있어서 해답이 될 수 없으며, 헤드의 설치위치별로 방수상황이 다르다는 문제가 발생된다. 이에 대한 개선방안으로, 첫째, 선진국의 경우처럼 방수밀도개념의 도입으로 헤드의 설치위치별 방수량의 차이를 극복할 수 있으며, 둘째, 사용 가능한 헤드구경의 다양화를 통해 방수량 분포의 범위를 줄여 방수밀도의 평준화를 기대할 수 있으며, 셋째, 수리계산방식 적용에 대한 규정의 강화를 통해 수리계산방식의 사용이 확대되어 결과적으로 성능위주의 설계로 발전시킬 수 있다.

1980년대 중반 이후 해외직접투자에서 가장 주목할 만한 것 중의 하나는 신흥산업국의 출현이었다. 이들의 출현은 과거 선진국 중심의 선진국과 개도국의 남-북 관계에서 신흥산업국 중심의 선진국-신흥산업국-개도국으로 구성된 새로운 공간적 흐름관계를 형성시키고 있다. 특히, 1980년대 중반 이후 아시아 신흥산업국들이 동아시아 역내 직접투자를 활발히 전개함으로써 동아시아 역내 직접투자의 흐름 구조는 일본-신흥산업국-아세안과 중국으로 구분되는 명백한 계층적 구조를 지니게 되었다. 역내 직접투자 유입에서, 일본과 신흥산업국은 역외 선진산업국과 일본으로부터, 아세안은 아시아 신흥산업국과 일본으로부터, 중국은 아시아 신흥산업국으로부터 투자가 유입되고 있다. 역내 직접투자 유출에서, 일본은 신흥산업국과 아세안에 대해 상대적으로 높은 역내 투자를 보이는 반면 신흥산업국은 아세안과 중국에 대한 높은 투자를 보이고 있다. 또한 아세안 및 중국의 역내투자는 아직까지 미흡하지만 신흥산업국에 집중되고 있다. 즉, 동아시아 역내 직접투자 구조에서 신흥산업국의 중간적 역할과 성격이 점차 확대되고 있다.

However, Mongolia is a rich country in mineral resources in the world and became a center of increasing international trade. Therefore, Mongolia wants to develop logistics as other developed countries using a strategic location. Mongolia uses international port for transit China and Russia by railway. First, this paper focuses on discussing the current situation of logistics. Second it points out some issues currently facing by the governmental policy to promote. Finally, this paper presents some recommendations for developing logistics in Mongolia. The geographical remoteness of Mongolia which results in high cost of transport causes problems for trade relations with the rest of the world to grow.

The unprecedented growth of Internet technologies has made resources on the World-Wide-Web(WWW) instantly accessible to various user communities. While e-commerce has become as an important issue with the growth of the Internet, there are insufficient empirical research efforts concerning its status in Korea. The United States, in contrast, has made significant efforts in making empirical research regarding this issue. In this paper, we demonstrate not only how these contextual differences influence consumer satisfaction with the purchased products/services, but also what contextual constructs make consumers satisfied or dissatisfied. In addition, we tried to find the difference in the factors of consumer satisfaction between a developed country(i.e., United States) and a developing country(i.e., Korea) with regard to e-commerce. The study findings suggest that contextual problems need to be solved before e-commerce provides real benefits for consumers and businesses.

The steady rise in life expectancy resulting from progress in medical science and economic growth and improved living conditions is responsible for large and increasing-number of older peoples in our country. The older peoples who are increasing make up a large percentage of our total population. Now a day the percentage of older people 60 and 65 years old over compose around 8.7% and 5% of the total population in each. In spite of such a rapidly increasing trend of older population, there has had no provisions for elderly welfare in our country. The reason why some children do not want to take care of their older parents, and the other is the lack of elderly welfare, are responsible for large and increasing anxiety of livelihood and alienation to the number of older peoples. As mentioned above, especially studying Swedish elderly welfare model of many developed countries, it intend to provide many of the useful materials to make the elderly welfare systems in our country. The main research for Swedish elderly welfare are as follows : (1) Old age pension systems (2) Social service systems (3) Health care service systems (4) Housing care service systems.

Korea has been officially classified as a non Annex-I country under the Kyoto Protocol, however, international community is used to considering it as if it were an Annex-I country. Korea has been under great pressure from the international community, especially from the EU and the US, to get included as an Annex-I country or to accept a legally-binding emissions reduction target like other developed nations. Korean Government declared its national target of emissions reduction in 2020 before the Copenhagen meeting, and also pronounced "Low-Carbon Green-Growth" as a new national paradigm to drive the entire nation toward a low carbon society and develop a new growth momentum. The 'green Act', which was passed by the National Assembly in 2009, is a comprehensive and fundamental law providing legal grounds to all of the national policies and measures that are needed to transform the nation into a low-carbon society. Korean government announced to begin Carbon Emissions Trading from 2015, instead of the originally scheduled year of 2013, considering global trends and industrial competitiveness in a flexible manner. The Carbon Emission Trading would reduce carbon emissions by 30 percent from the expected 2020 level, or 4 percent below its emissions in 2005.

Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is an assessment process integrated with policy and planning processes considering environmental impacts, not at the level of individual project, but at higher level of policy and plan. Presently, two systems for the SEA are being implemented in Korea. One is "the consultation of environmental investigation into a change in national land utilization", which is to be pre-discussed with the head of the related central administrative organizations, based on the respective individual code. The other is "the consultation of environmental investigation into an administrative plan and project", which is to be pre-discussed with the minister of the environments for the administrative plan. However, these two systems are not integrated procedures with the planning process. In other words, there is a separate post-environmental assessment after planning. Also concrete proposal is not yet prepared for the method and procedure of environmental investigation about details of the planning. Therefore, they do not playa role in taking precautions for environmentally sustainable development. In this study, for the effective environmental investigation at the level of planning, environmental assessment model to be integrated with urban comprehensive plans was developed. The results of this study can be summarized as follows: First, based on the analysis of systematic problems in environmental investigation of this country, the study compared and analysed the SEA method of foreign countries. derived the potential limitations in its applications to this country. Also, the new method in this study, is integrated into planning process by improving the limitations. Thus, we developed the SEA model for this country, which consists of seven steps ; Phase 1; establishing a work program, Phase 2; defining the scop. of the SEA, Phase 3; analyzing an existing environmental situation, Phase 4; examining the consistency with environmental policy, Phase 5; appraising and synthesizing the plan content, Phase 6; proposing recommendations, Phase 7; monitoring and feedback. Second, the two types of application program of the developed assessment model were proposed. One is to integrate this model into planning process, and the other is for the institute and ministry of environments to implement SEA after planning. An aim of this study was developing an environmental assessment model at the planning level which was not yet established in this country and was to apply the model to urban comprehensive plan for inspection. This research will make the effective operation of environmental investigation system possible at the planning level in this country and contribute to the environmental protection at the global level.
