Tourism is one of the key economic drivers not only in Vietnam but also in the world. This study explores the awareness and perceptions of key stakeholders such as local residents, tourism businesses, and tourists on sustainable tourism development in the Mekong Delta in Vietnam. Both quantitative and qualitative research approaches have been used with the secondary and primary data to provide insights on the subject. The secondary data is from vast sources, including the governmental department of tourism, statistical departments, annual all-level governmental reports, businesses, and others. The primary data is from the survey by questionnaires with 230 enterprises, 720 local residents, and 670 tourists and from the semi-structured and in-depth interviews conducted with local residents, businesses, tourists, local authorities' officers, and especially with 5 experts who are also stakeholders of Mekong Delta tourism.

Objectives: This study aims to assess the current status of diabetes management among residents in 11 administrative regions (Si and Gun) of Chungcheongbuk-do, using data from the 2023 Community Health Survey, and to analyze variations according to the types of local governments. Methods: A total of 12,033 residents of Chungcheongbuk-do, aged 19 and older, were selected as study participants through the 2023 Korean Community Health Survey by Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Diabetes management indicators, including blood glucose awareness, treatment adherence, and complication prevention, were analyzed using SAS Enterprise Guide version 8.3, focusing on regional differences and patterns according to local government classifications. Results: Less than half of the residents of Chungcheongbuk-do were aware of their blood glucose levels, with considerable variation observed across regions. The overall proportion of individuals receiving appropriate diabetes management in Chungcheongbuk-do was 9.6%, but the rates differed significantly between regions. For instance, Yeongdong had the highest rate of diabetes self-management education (57.5%), while Chungju had the lowest (4.3%). The frequency of regular diabetic complication screenings, such as eye and kidney exams, remained suboptimal in most regions, with many falling below 50%. Even among regions with similar local government characteristics, substantial disparities in diabetes management were identified. Conclusions: There is a pressing need for Chungcheongbuk-do and its local governments to enhance blood glucose awareness among residents and integrate comprehensive diabetes education into local health care strategies. Tailored health initiatives must be developed at the local level to improve diabetes management outcomes and reduce regional disparities, ultimately aiming to improve the quality of life for individuals with diabetes.

본 연구는 천연기념물 중에서 유일한 늪지식물인 제346호 함안 대송리 늪지식물을 대상으로 방문객의 문화재적 가치에 대한 인식현황과 활용 및 관리에 대한 요구도 등을 분석하여 향후 관리방안의 시사점 제공을 목적으로 한다. 방문객 인식현황을 분석한 결과 대상지의 인지도 및 인식수준은 전반적으로 낮았고 방문동기는 '자연 체험 및 교육', '휴식 및 여가', '문화자원 체험' 순으로 높게 나타났다. 인식수준에 따른 방문동기 차이를 분석한 결과 대상지에 대한 인식수준이 높거나 대상지의 문화재적 가치를 높게 평가하는 집단의 경우 단순 휴식 보다 '자연 체험' 또는 '문화자원 체험'을 위해 방문하는 경향이 높았다. 활용 측면에서는 안내판 등 관람, 편의를 위한 기본시설 및 적극적인 홍보에 대한 요구가 가장 높았고 늪지식물을 이용한 전통자원 발굴과 자연체험을 선호하는 것으로 조사되었다. 현행관리의 주요 방해요인으로는 지역주민과 일반 탐방객 모두 체계적인 관리정책 부재와 지역주민과의 소통 부재 등을 문제로 인식하는 것으로 나타났다. 적절한 관리방안을 모색하기 위해서는 지역주민을 포함한 다양한 이해관계자들의 협력을 통한 보존과 이용의 조화를 이루는 정책 수립 및 현장 적용이 필요하다고 인식하였다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate changes in public health-related perceptions of residents of Gangwon province after the outbreak of Coronavirus disease-19(COVID-19) of the public. Methods: We performed paired T-test analysis to measure the change in public health-related perceptions before and after COVID-19. We also utilized generalized estimating equations to identify demographic factors correlated with public health-related perceptions. Results: The public perceived public health as 'All citizens can use medical care and protect/promote health.' The concept was the most popular, from 94.3% in 2019 to 95.5% in 2020. In addition, after COVID-19, residents of Gangwon province's satisfaction with medical services increased, but the overall level was not high. Among the eight essential healthcare needs after COVID-19, cardiovascular disease and injury services have emerged as preferred services. However, by sociodemographic factors, distinctive responses were detected. Conclusions: Through COVID-19, Gangwon residents' awareness of the public's health rights has increased. Those living in vulnerable areas or with unmet medical care, supported strengthening public health care. In addition, although medical satisfaction has increased, it is not satisfied, so listening to the voices of the population group with low satisfaction is essential. Lastly, since the necessity of essential health care may change due to specific events, the local government needs to plan health projects reflecting the needs of residents. Therefore, when designing the public health care strategy in Gangwon province, the local government should consider not only political factors but also environmental factors, demographic and conceptual factors.

본 연구는 지역주민들의 의견을 수렴한 산악형 생태탐방로 개발계획 수립을 위한 기초자료를 제공하는 것이 목적이다. 사회교환이론을 적용하여 소백산 자락길 개발계획에 대한 지역주민들의 의식분석 및 태도분석을 실시하였다. 이를 위해 7개 마을 주민 150명을 대상으로 자기기입방식 및 개인면접으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 먼저, 주민 의식분석 결과, 소백산 자락길 개발계획에 대해서는 대부분의 지역주민들이 인식하며, 또한 찬성하는 것으로 나타났다. 다음은 주민 태도분석 결과, 성별에 따른 태도는 탐방객과의 교류 및 전통문화재 발굴에서 남성보다 여성이 높게 기대하였으며, 연령별 태도는 마을의 환경오염 증가, 범죄 증가, 문화 파괴, 주민갈등 유발 등에서 60세 미만 집단에서 우려하는 것으로 나타났다. 직업군에 따른 태도는 농업 종사자가 생태계 파괴 부분을 우려하고 있었으며, 지역적 특성 및 경관 훼손에서는 모든 지역주민들이 우려하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 개발계획의 찬성집단은 경제적, 환경적, 사회 문화적 측면 대부분의 항목에서 기대하는 것으로 나타났으나, 반대집단은 환경적 측면의 경관훼손, 환경오염 증가와 사회 문화적 측면의 주민갈등 유발 등 개발로 인한 부정적인 측면에 대해서 우려하는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 원전 지역 주민들을 대상으로 사용후핵연료에 대한 인식을 조사하여 고준위방사성폐기물 처분시설 마련을 위한 기초자료로 활용하고자 수행하였다. 온라인으로 수집한 204부의 설문을 SPSS Window Ver 28.0을 이용하여 분석하였다. 집단 간 차이 검증을 위해 t-test, 일원배치분산분석(one way ANOVA)을 실시하였다. 그리고 변수 간의 연관성을 확인하기 위하여 상관분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 첫째, 원자력 관련 사고에 대한 위험 인식은 성별과 학력에 따라 통계적으로 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 사용후핵연료 영구처분시설 건설에 대한 입장은 성별, 학력, 연령에 따라 통계적으로 유의미한 차이를 보였고, 사용후핵연료 관리 방안 마련 평가 기준별 중요성 인식은 학력, 연령에 따라 통계적으로 유의미한 차이를 나타냈다. 정보 제공 기관 신뢰도에서는 국회에 대한 신뢰도가 가장 낮은 것으로 조사되었다. 둘째, 변수 간 상관관계 분석 결과 지역 주민들이 현재 사용후핵연료 처리에 대한 대안이 필요하다는 것을 인식하고 있고, 영구처분시설 건설에 따른 재정지원이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 고준위방사성폐기물 처분장 건립을 위해서는 정부에 대한 신뢰도를 높이고, 지역 주민 의견 수렴과 경제적 지원이 필요한 것으로 사료된다.

Based on a survey of citizens and data analysis on the environmental status of the Miyun Reservoir watershed, China, the environmental awareness of citizens residing in the watershed and the impacting factors are discussed. The contingent valuation method was used to evaluate the willingness of villagers to pay (WTP) for abatement of the rural domestic pollution and to assess the intensity level of the villagers' desire for improving environmental conditions in the Miyun Reservoir watershed. It was found that rural watershed residents had a fundamental cognitive understanding of the pollution status and protection measures of the Miyun Reservoir. However, based on the survey, local residents had only a small interest in their participation to improve the environmental status of the reservoir, despite their general attitude to protect the reservoir being very positive. Gender and family income were closely associated with the overall attitudes of the population. Public media are the most preferable means for conveying knowledge of environmental protection to people living in the watershed. Increasing the educational level, along with income, are the best ways to enhance the desire of the villagers to improve the environmental quality and management.
