  • Purpose: In Ulleung island, emergency medical transport by helicopter is very important. So, we analysized our experience with emergency medical transport by helicopter for 4 years and we were compared our data with other data for 1997-2001. Therefore we need to research public health development direction. Method: We analysized patient's medical record for 4 years. Result: During 4 years, 104 transports were done and 130 patients were trasported to tertiary hospital center, there was more increased than that from 1997 to 2001. Helicopters from Pohang coast guard, Donghae coast guard, Navy, and 119 rescue etc. were used, but 119 rescue transport was decreased more and more. The 60's patients was most, 22.3% and teenager's and 80's patients was lowest. The male was 65% but the female was increased more and more annually. In addition, the older patients was the more portion of female patient. The transport was concentrated in daytime. The traumatic patient was much in winter period. The cerebrovascular accident was 1st cause of patient and fracture was many also. Conclusioon: Except Fire service's helicopter, the other helicopter was not apt to emergency medical tansport. But Fire service's helicopter was not used commonly because Fire service's helicopter was in Daegu, so distant and time consumed. As a result, emergency medical transport helicopter is needed in east coast like Fire service's helicopter. In addition, trauma prevention education and public health education for hypertension and diabetes will be essential and public health system in Ulleung island will be prepared for aging society.

  • As we become an aging society, the number of dementia patients increases every year (an estimated 10% of the elderly, equating to 1.27 million in 30 years). In addition, 17,000 cases of missing people with disabilities and dementia are reported annually, indicating that more than one person per hour goes missing. More than 50% of those who are lost suffer injuries (some of which are fatal) within 24 hours after going missing. This is why measures are urgently required to ensure safety of the elderly. The core function of the disappearances prevention system proposed by this research group is to identify and respond early to deviations of dementia patients from their homes or facilities by identifying the location of the occurrence of disappearance, so that real-time notifications occur when a they leave the protected area. In addition, multiple receivers and public transportation integrated terminals share information when a patient leaves and uses public transportation to ensure their safe return. Most existing beacon-based positioning service models have fixed signal transmitters and are serviced in the form of transport receivers, but the proposed service model has users wearing the BLE beacon and receivers fixed.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the policy implications of establishing a compact city in Seoul, analyzing whether it is an appropriate and efficient eco-friendly housing supply alternative. Research design, data, and methodology: The analysis criteria include efficiency, safety, and comfort, with efficiency encompassing economic, energy, and public transport links' efficiency. Safety and comfort are aspects of eco-friendliness, housing safety, and improvement in living environments. Results: In terms of economic efficiency, compact cities are a less expensive option than purchasing land for housing construction. To increase energy efficiency, we plan to adopt eco-friendly energy sources. Transportation efficiency is high in locations near public transport stations. To enhance safety and comfort, we intend to create large-scale parks and forests in Seoul. To ensure residential safety, measures will be taken to reduce road vibration, vehicle noise, and scattering dust. Conclusions: Selecting an appropriate location that provides convenient public transportation is essential for creating a compact city for housing in a large city. Combining a compact and smart city is necessary, and implementing smart technologies is needed to prevent dust, noise, and vibrations, which are undesirable in a residential environment.

  • An average of 20 million individual transit unit activities per day on the Seoul-Gyeonggi-Incheon public transportation network are provided as transportation card analysis data by the metropolitan district (99.02% by 2014 standard, Humanlive, 2015.4). The metropolitan transportation card data can be employed in a comprehensive analysis of public transportation users' current transit patterns and by means of this, an effective use plan can be explored. In enhancing the existing information on the bus and rail integrated network of the metropolis with public transportation card data, the constraints in the existing methodology of metropolitan transit analysis, which functions on a zone unit origin and destination basis, can be overcome. Framework for metropolitan public transportation card data based integrated public transportation analysis, which consists of bus and rail integrated transport modes, is constructed, and through this, a single passenger's transit behavior transit volume can be approximated. This research proposes that in the use of metropolitan public transportation card data, integrated public transportation usage, as a part of individual passenger spatial movements, can be analyzed. Furthermore, metropolitan public transportation card usage data can provide insights into understanding not only movements of populations taking on transit activities, but also, characteristics of metropolitan local space.

  • In order to solve the traffic problem in jeju, we must reduce demand for car travel. In addition, demand for passenger travel by public transport policy is needed for conversion. And to improve the quality of public transport services are desperately needed. The purpose of this study, personal characteristics of the trip traveler and the relationship between transportation choice, and personal effectiveness as a factor in travel costs and travel time on the impact of transportation choices will investigate. Restructure its public transportation routes, when to switch to buses to car traffic on the data as a basis for the factors that may be. In addition to improving the quality of public transport services is expected to be able to contribute. To study the performance of the May 2010 survey was conducted. And multinominal logit model were conducted. According to the analysis, People who own homes and families with more than 5 people are likely to use cars. If a prolonged travel time is likely to use buses. However, increasing the cost of travel increases the likelihood that the car is available.

  • This paper suggests improvements in travel cost function of transit assignment model by analysing existing model. Two types of travel cost function are widely used for congested public networks. The one is used for strictly restricting public transport capacity. Another is non-decreasing function such as BPR function. In this paper, we analyse two types of travel cost function in case of intercity rail. The characteristics of intercity rail are different from those of public transit in urban area. Therefore travel cost function must be differently applied in each case.
