This study aims to design ergonomic warning sound that is not confusing and enhancing preference. Four factors of the warning sound represented as interval, chord, reverberation and pitch were selected as independent variables. And, perceived urgency, perceived criticality, degree of confusion and user preference are measured as dependent variables. An experiment was conducted in silent lab environment. Warning sounds were given in 90dB constantly to subjects through stereo speakers. A statistical analysis revealed that interval was significant for perceived urgency; also interval and chord were both effective for perceived criticality. Pitch, interval, chord and the interaction between pitch and chord were effective in degree of confusion, so were reverberation, the interaction between reverberation and pitch and the interaction between reverberation and chord for preference. This study characterized the situation under which warning sounds are required into three types in terms of urgency and criticality; and found the right warning sound that the subjects perceived to best represent the situation through the validation study. These findings are expected to help the designer choose the right warning sound according to the situational contexts in which such warning sounds are implemented.

This paper presents an experimental study of the factors modulating the urgency perception of voice alarm generated by concatenative synthesizers. Four experiments were conducted using psycho-physical approach in which 105 participants made magnitude estimation for urgency perception of various voice alarm stimuli. Experiment 1 identified 6 acoustic and non-acoustic factors modulating the perceived urgency of synthesized voice alarm. Experiment 2, 3 and 4 quantified the relations between the objective changes in each of the quantifiable parameters and the subjective changes in urgency perception. This research has implications for the design and implementation of synthesized voice alarm systems where urgency mapping is required.

Ecosystem services (ES) are the benefits that people obtain from ecosystems. Traditional ES assessment methods have focused on the supply of ES, using biophysical data. However, these methods often fail to capture the full value of ES, which is also determined by social and cultural factors. This study proposes a new approach to ES assessment that incorporates socio-cultural perspectives. The study was conducted in Seoul, South Korea. A survey was conducted of 1,805 residents of Seoul to assess their satisfaction with ecosystem services. Exploratory factor analysis was used to identify bundles of ES that were perceived as important by residents. A revised importance-satisfaction analysis was used to calculate the urgency level of each bundle. The results of the study showed that the 21 ES that were considered in the survey could be grouped into three bundles: urban green area-based, biodiversity-based, and resilience-based. The urgency level analysis showed that some bundles were more important than others, and that some bundles were more urgent than others. The findings of this study have several implications. First, they suggest that a socio-cultural approach to ES assessment can provide a more comprehensive and accurate assessment of ES. Second, they show that this approach can be used to identify areas where ES management is most needed. Third, they suggest that this approach could be used to inform ES management and policy decisions.

Objective: This study aims to survey the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders(MSD) among Korean hospital workers and to analyze the relationship of MSD symptoms and workload perceived by workers. Background: Despite of high exposure to the MSD risk factors and high MSD symptom prevalence among health care workers, there were not enough studies of MSD prevalence among the hospital workers. Method: This study designed a survey based on Nordic questionnaire to obtain MSD symptoms and the degree of four perceived workloads: work repetition, urgency, physical exertion and satisfaction. In this survey, 1,846 workers in a hospital participated. The prevalence of MSD was analyzed for each body part, and MSD cases, which were predetermined in this study, were identified. The relationship between the MSD cases and each perceived workload was analyzed using chi-square test. Results: The pain in the shoulder was the most prevalent among the workers as 52%, and the low back(37%) and leg discomfort(36%) followed. The MSD cases, in which degree of pain was more than severe, were also the most prevalent in the shoulder(13%). Female workers had higher rate of MSD cases than the males. Among the four workload variables, the physical exertion was the statistically related to MSD cases for all the body parts. In addition, the others also had significant relation to MSD cases except one or two body parts. Conclusion: This study found that Korean hospital workers had MSD symptoms mainly in the shoulder, low back and legs in order, and the perceived workload surveyed in this study was highly correlated with MSD symptoms. Application: This study provides another evidence that subjective physical exertion perceived by workers is an important factor to explain MSD cases as same as the objective one.

This study presents the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) as a potential decision-making method for obtaining the relative weights of alternatives through pairwise comparison in the context of hierarchical structure. The aim of this study was to elicit prior strategies for brand communication for Korean restaurants overseas. We created a questionnaire and surveyed experts at government agencies, restaurant companies, and universities from October to November 2011. By applying the pairwise comparison matrix, relevance was perceived as a more important strategy evaluation criteria than effectiveness or urgency. The highest-ranked strategy was the 'Identification of the BI and positioning of Korean restaurants' followed by 'Development of Korean food content for overseas promotion', 'Development of locally customized Korean food recipes and new Korean menus', 'Development of marketing communication strategies for Korean restaurants by countries', and 'Development of Korean restaurant differentiation strategies'. The results of this study can be used for effective Korean food globalization by enhancing the competitiveness in the world market.

집회의 자유는 헌법에서 보장하고 있는 기본권적 자유이다. 우리의 현실을 보면 집회의 자유는 경찰의 관리통제 하에 있을 때에만 보장되고, 그렇지 않을 때는 진압해야 할 대상으로 인식되고 있다. 심지어 경찰은 '깨진 유리창 이론(broken window theory)'을 거론하면서 조그만 불법이 심각한 불법․폭력시위로 변질될 수 있다는 이유로 집회의 평화성 보다는 '준법'여부에 집착하고 있는 듯한 태도를 보여주고 있다. 이러한 태도는 집회에 참여하는 시민을 진압해야 할 대상으로 내몰게 되는 결과를 초래하고 있다. 이 글은 최근 문제되고 있는 경찰물리력 사용수단으로서 차벽과 물포를 중심으로 물리력 사용요건과 현황을 분석하고, 그 개선방안을 제시하였다. 우선, 차벽의 설치는 집회장소를 항의의 대상으로부터 분리시킴으로써 집회가 갖는 본질적인 소통의 기능을 차단하고 있다. 따라서 차벽설치는 불법행위에 직면하여 예방을 위한 경고에도 불구하고 차벽설치 이외 다른 방법으로는 '사람의 생명 신체에 위해를 끼치거나 재산에 중대한 손해를 끼칠 우려가 있는 긴급한 경우'에 한하여 허용되어야 할 것이다. 이러한 긴급성이 없다면 차벽은 사전예방적 차원뿐만 아니라 사후예방적 차원에서도 허용되어서는 안된다. 물포는 사람의 생명․신체에 위해를 가할 우려가 있는 경찰장비로서 기본권의 중대한 제한을 가져오는 강제조치이다. 따라서 사람의 신체에 중대한 위험을 초래할 수 있는 조준 직사살수는 원칙적으로 금지되어야 한다. 다만 그 위험성을 고려하여 타인의 법익이나 공공의 안녕질서에 직접적인 위험이 '명백하게 초래'된 경우에 한하여 다른 대안이 없는 경우에 보충적으로 사용하여야 한다. 아울러 그 사용기준 등에 대해서는 물포가 위해성 경찰장비인 점을 고려하여 법률로 명시해야 한다.
