This study used the functions for public benefits as a standard for evaluating Green Tourism. By referring to the existing literature, the "function of building emotion", the "function of providing a natural environment", the "function of preserving traditional cultures", and the "function of maintaining the local community" have been selected as the measuring variables. Detailed sub-variables of each function were prepared to examine and analyze the recognition of these are the part of Green Tourists. The Green Tourists of Yangsuri in Yangpyeong, Sinnonri in Yangpyeong, and Jurokri in Yeoju participated in the survey for which 13 variables were used as measurement. The results are as follows: First, Green Tourists recognize farm villages as places for rest and relaxation and they laid great importance on the function of providing access to the natural environment. Secondly, out of the 13 measurement variables, "beautiful scenery in farm village", "making a contribution to village income", and "trust in agricultural products" greatly influenced the overall evaluation of Green Tourism. Thirdly, regarding the relationship between the functions for public benefits and Green Tourism, it was found that "facilities and activities for experiencing farming", "facilities for rest", and "beautiful scenery in farm villages" are closely related to building the emotion experienced in these villages, and that "cultivating environmentally-friendly agricultural products" and "beautiful scenery in farm village" are closely related to the function of providing access to the natural environment.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to provide lawmakers with basic data for the purpose of establishing a policy on health insurance for packed herbal medicine. Methods : To properly execute an insurance system for packed herbal medicine, we surveyed the following questions from May 1st to June 15th, 2006: (1)the way to pay the insurance benefits (2)specific impression (disease) names as related to insurance (3)the range of insurance coverage. We obtained answers from 304 Korea traditional doctors. Results : 89.4% respondents were agreed on execution of health insurance for packed herbal medicine. 93.86% respondents answered that the way to pay insurance benefits and the range of insurance coverage have to be changed properly. Most respondents answered that the coverage should be based on a specific disease being treated, not the current symptoms method which relates to the prescription. The execution of health insurance for packed herbal medicine is expected to increase the number of patients and make the Korean medical system more popular. Conclusion : The findings are expected to make it easier for the general public to get treatment by providing basic data with policy makers that will cover packed herbal medicine in insurance. Also, a proper Korea traditional health insurance program should be set up as soon as possible to widen the choice of medicine for the general public.

Toe objective of this study is to verify the factors influencing the taxation cognition of medical institutions and to verify the difference of taxation cognition among the interest groups in medical services. The factors that influence taxation cognition are supposed to be five: cognition of public benefits on medical services, cognition of profits from medical institutions, cognition of self-responsibility of medical institutions, cognition of distinction of medical institutions, and cognition of the importance of medical services. The interest groups are divided into four: medical institution employees, medical treatment consumers, taxation experts, and tax officials. As a result of this study, first, cognition of public benefits, cognition of profits, and cognition of distinction are verified to have statistical significance as factors for taxation cognition. It means that cognition of the public benefits of medical services is low, while cognition of profits is high, and taxation cognition such as tax supports and tax exemption appears low in accordance with lowness of cognition of distinction of medical institutions. Second, taxation cognition of the interest groups about medical service shows statistical significance between the group of medical institution employees and the group of tax officials, and between the group of medical institution employees and the group of taxes experts. This study is expected to contribute to tax policy, which can support medical institutions to provide medical consumers with good medical services, by analyzing the factors that influence taxation cognition on medical institutions.

A change in the consumer's surplus was measured in order to evaluate the social benefit to be derived from expanding health insurance to the entire population. The most refined and correct way to measure a project's net benefit to society is to determine a change in the consumer's surplus. Benefits from introducing the health insurance program to the uninsured people can be classified into two elements. The first is the pricing-down effect(E1) which results from applying the insurance price system, which is lower than the actual price, to the uninsured patients. The second effect(E2) is a decrease in actual payment because an insured patient pays only a portion of the total medical bill(copayment). We collected medical price information from the data banks of 93 hospitals, and obtained information of medical utilization by referring to the results of other research and from data published by the Korean Medical Insurance Societies. The total net benefit was estimated as \214 billion, comprising the first effect(E1) of \57 billion and the second effect(E2) of \157 billion. The price elasticity of physician visits is less than that of hospital admissions: however, benefits from the increase in physician visits are greater than those from hospital admissions because there are considerably more of physician visits than hospital admissions. The sensitivity analysis also shows the conclusion that expansion of the health insurance program to the entire population would result in a positive net benefit. Therfore, we conclude that the National Health Insurance Program is socially desirable.

이 연구는 한국복지패널 2006~2015년 자료를 이용하여 사회보장급여의 빈곤완화효과를 분석하였다. 분석결과 사회보장급여는 빈곤갭을 상당한 정도로 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. 국민기초생활보장, 공적연금, 기초연금 등의 제도가 비교적 큰 빈곤완화효과를 거두고 있는 반면 장애수당, 산재 고용보험, 보육 등의 빈곤완화효과는 이에 비해 훨씬 작은 편이다. 사회보장급여액과 빈곤완화효율성이라는 두 요소가 빈곤완화효과의 크기를 결정한다. 최근 사회보장제도의 확대에 따라 빈곤완화효율성은 대체로 감소하였으나 사회보장급여액이 더 크게 증가했기 때문에 빈곤완화효과는 점차 커졌다. 사회보장제도의 빈곤완화효과를 높이기 위해서는 선별주의적 제도의 단점을 극복하면서도 효율성을 도모할 수 있는 방법을 모색할 필요가 있다.

As an interest in the efficiency of public sector expenditures has spread across the world, Korea has operated a self-evaluation system for government projects as a part of the performance-based budget system. However, an evaluation system for public information technology project has been criticized for its lack of validity, which stems from the uniformity of performance management. This study draws insight from knowledge management literature in an attempt to address the problems with the extant performance evaluation system in public agencies. To realize benefits from IT investment, an agency needs to develop its own performance management model for information systems projects, with a focus on the interaction of IT and organizational system. The knowledge management-based framework for IT projects was verified through a case study, with which we discussed the applicability of knowledge management to the evaluation of public information systems projects.

본 연구는 한국 의료보장제도에 있어서 의료비 부담과 민간의료보험 급여액의 소득계층별 불평등을 평가하고, 가구소득 불평등과의 관계를 확인하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 2014년도 한국의료패널조사 자료를 활용하여, 의료비 부담에 따른 가구소득변화 지니계수를 산출하였다. 주요 분석결과를 살펴보면, 첫째, 우리나라 가구소득 불평등은 소득1분위 평균가구소득이 629만원인 반면, 10분위 소득은 1억 193만원으로 소득분위별 소득금액차이가 매우 컸고, 지니계수가 0.3756으로 불평등 정도가 컸다. 둘째, 가구소득분위별 건강보험과 의료급여 등 공적지원이 이루어지는 외래 입원진료 관련 의료비 부담 지니계수가 0.0761로 나타났으며, 공적제도의 지원이 없는 의료이용을 위한 교통비와 의료용품구입비 등을 모두 포함한 의료비 부담의 지니계수가 0.0878로 나타나서 의료비 부담의 불평등은 공적지원이 있는 부담과 공적지원이 없는 부담 모두 적었다. 가구소득차이와 관계없이 의료비를 부담하고 있는 것이다. 셋째, 가구소득 불평등과 의료비 부담의 관계를 확인하기 위하여 가구소득에서 의료비 부담을 제외하여 지니계수를 산출한 결과 기존 가구소득 지니계수보다 의료비 부담을 제외한 지니계수가 약간씩 증가하였다. 즉, 우리나라 가구의 의료비 부담은 소득계층별로 불평등하여서 가구소득의 불평등을 악화시키데 기여하고 있는 것이다. 이는 건강보험 의료급여와 같은 공적지원이 있는 의료비부담도 동일해서 공적제도가 가구소득 불평등을 약간 악화시켰다. 넷째, 민간의료보험 급여액 지니계수가 0.0927로 나타나서 민간보험 급여액의 불평등은 적었다. 아울러 가구소득과 민간보험급여를 합산하여 산정한 지니계수가 0.3756에서 0.3672로 감소하여서 민간의료보험을 통한 보험금 수입이 가구소득 불평등을 다소 약화시키는 것으로 나타났다.

보편적인 공공투자사업과는 달리, 환경관련 투자사업은 사업추진으로 인한 비용과 편익의 부담주체가 동일하지 않다. 비용의 큰 비중은 현재세대가 부담하지만 그 편익은 미래세대가 더 많이 누리는 구조인 것이다. 이러한 특성을 고려하지 않은 채 일률적인 사회적할인율을 적용하는 것은 환경투자사업의 경제성 평가과정에서 미래 세대의 편익이 상대적으로 과소평가되는 문제를 발생시키는 것으로 인식된다. 이에 미래 세대의 편익이 경제성 평가과정에서 보다 적절히 반영될 수 있는 사회적할인율과 그 적용방법을 모색해 보았다. 최근의 경제상황 변동을 고려한 사회적할인율을 추정해 본 결과, 적정 사회적할인율은 2.9%에서 4.9% 사이의 범위를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 기 수행된 실제 예비타당성조사 자료를 분석하여 환경투자사업의 전형적인 편익발생 패턴을 분석해 보았으며, 사회적할인율을 다양한 방식으로 적용해 보았을 때, 이의 조정이 경제성 평가결과에 어떠한 영향을 미칠 수 있는지를 살펴보았다. 사회적 할인율이 현행 수준보다 1%p. 가량 인하조정될 경우 사업의 편익/비용 비율은 약 6%가량 개선될 수 있는 것으로 분석되었으며, 이때 미래 세대의 편익을 보다 적절하게 고려하기 위해서는 분석기간별로 차등적인 사회적할인율을 적용하는 것이 바람직함을 지적하였다. 이러한 방법은 편익추정과정에서 발생할 수 있는 추정위험 등의 기술적 요인도 보완해줄 수 있는 효과적인 방안이라 평가된다.

In recent studies, $PM_{2.5}$ has been reported to be more harmful to human health than $PM_{10}$ because it penetrates more deeply into the lung. We estimated $PM_{2.5}$ related health benefits in Seoul from implementing the World Health Organization (WHO)'s guidelines (annual average $10{\mu}g/m^3$, 24-hour average $25{\mu}g/m^3$) and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s National Ambient Air Quality Standard (annual average $15{\mu}g/m^3$, 24-hour average $35{\mu}g/m^3$). U.S. EPA's Environmental Benefits Mapping and Analysis Program was utilized for the analysis. It was predicted that the attainment of the WHO annual guideline and U.S. EPA's annual standard, relative to the concentration in 2006, would result in reduction of 2,333~2,895 premature deaths and 1,703~2,121 premature deaths, respectively. If the WHO and EPA's daily standard for $PM_{2.5}$ are attained, 1,211~1,394 and 1,012~1,165 premature deaths could be avoided, respectively. Sensitivity analyses indicated that the estimates were robust regardless of air quality simulation methods for attaining the $PM_{2.5}$ goals. This study provides a quantitative approach to evaluate health risks from air pollution as well as to assess the potential health benefits of improving atmospheric $PM_{2.5}$ concentration. Even considering the intrinsic limitations and uncertainties of the analysis, it is an important information to rationalize the enforcement of $PM_{2.5}$ management policies and measures in Seoul, Korea.
