The aim is to find cyber measures in consideration of physical CPTED in order to prepare countermeasures for cybercrime prevention. For this, the six applied principles of CPTED were used as the standard. A new control item was created in connection with the control items of ISO27001. A survey was conducted on former and current investigators and security experts. As a result of the reliability analysis, the Kronbar alpha coefficient value was 0.947, indicating the reliability of the statistical value. As a result of factor analysis, it was reduced to six factors. The following are six factors and countermeasures. Nature monitoring blocks opportunities and strengthens business continuity. Access control is based on management system compliance, personnel security. Reinforcement of territoriality is reinforcement of each wife and ethics. Establishment of security policy to enhance readability, security system maintenance. Increasing usability is seeking ways to utilize, periodic incentives. For maintenance, security education is strength and security-related collective cooperation is conducted. The differentiation of this study was to find countermeasures against cybercrime in the psychological part of the past. However, they approached to find in cyber measures. The limitation of the study is to bring the concept of physical CPTED to the cyber concept.

A study was conducted to present the criteria for evaluating the revegetation method of the slope of the expressway. The results of comparative analysis between 2019-2020 field survey and existing research data (2015-2016) are as follows. Soil is a very important factor at the beginning of revegetation work. However, after the plant has settled, the importance of the soil composition diminishes. Among the plants used, the number of plants sown at the beginning gradually decreases. And it changes as it competes with invading plants. Among the plants used for sowing, it was found to affect the vegetation composition in the order of exotic grass > native herb and wildflower > native tree. Plant coverage is continuously evaluated as an important factor regardless of the time. The vegetation structure on the slope will change continuously over time. New items need to be evaluated in situations where a lot of time has elapsed since the application of revegetation work. It is desirable to use the current evaluation standard only to perform the evaluation within 1 to 2 years. In the long run, it is necessary to establish a new evaluation standard that adjusts the weights of each item.

This paper is a methodological research aimed at developing a mental disorder recovery scale (MDRS) and testing its validity and reliability. After three sessions of factor analysis, a total of three factors using an Eigen value of 1.0 or more were drawn. The explanatory power was found to be 58.1%. All the items met the criteria for communality and factor loading with no item removed, and, ultimately, 25 items were selected. Criterion-related validity test showed that Pearson's correlation coefficient was significant at .71 (p<.01) with significant correlation with each factor (p<.01). The reliability test showed that Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ coefficient was .95 and that Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ coefficient for each factor ranged from .87 to .93. MDRS, which was developed in this study and possessing 3 factors and 25 items, had both its validity and reliability confirmed; therefore, the developed scale would be useful to evaluate the recovery of individuals with mental disorder.
