본 연구는 매년 실시되는 지역안전도 평가제도중 문제점이나 개선을 요하는 사항들을 발굴하여 개선방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 연구의 구성 및 내용을 간략하게 소개하면, 서론인 도입부에서는 2020년도에 행정안전부에서 새롭게 적용한 지역안전도 평가 방법에 대하여 기술하였다. 지자체에서 최종 평가받은 지역안전도 등급에 따른 활용 방안도 소개하였다. 본론에서는 지역안전도 관련 선행 연구자들의 다양한 견해를 요약 기술하였다. 또한 지역안전도의 지표구성, 지수 산출 방법, 현행 지표를 적용함에 있어서 문제점을 도출하였다. 첫째, 재해위험요인 분야의 「사회적 취약성 지표」 "반지하 가구 수"는 "기초생활 수급자 가구 수"로 대체한다. 또한 "비닐하우스 면적"은 "비닐하우스에 거주하는 가구 수, 컨테이너 가구 수, 쪽방촌 가구 수" 등을 합한 자료로 대체하여 평가한다. 둘째, 상습 가뭄재해지역 관리 평가부문은 시군구의 상수도 보급률이 95% 이상인 지자체는 "결측" 처리한다. 수도권 및 도시화가 이루어진 자치단체에는 가뭄재난이 거의 발생하지 않기 때문이다. 셋째, 방재대책추진 대응분야의 「지역자율방재단 활성화」 평가지표 내용에 지역자율방재단과 더불어 안전보안관, 안전모니터봉사단, 재난안전 실버감시단 등의 활동도 평가에 추가한다. 다만 각 지자체 마다 지역자율 방재조직의 명칭이 상이할 수 있기 때문에 재난 예방을 위해 조직되어 활동하는 자율 방재조직이면, 그 활동 실적을 모두 합산하여 평가하는 것이 타당할 것이다. 넷째, 유엔재해위험경감사무국(UNDRR)에서 사용하고 있는 안전도시 평가도구인 스코어카드 평가 항목 중 자연재난과 연관이 깊은 "자연생태계가 제공하는 보호기능 강화를 위한 자연 완충재 보존"항목을 차용한다. 스코어카드 평가는 UNDRR에서 강조하는 "기후 위기와 재해에 강한 도시 만들기"라는 캠페인을 전개하면서 지자체의 재난 복원력(resilience)을 향상시키는 데 초점이 맞추어져 있는 평가 지표이다. 끝으로 "지역안전도"와 "지역안전지수"명칭이 유사하여 지역안전도의 용어를 "자연재난 안전도" 또는 "자연재해 안전도"라는 명칭으로 변경한다. 그래야만 일반인 누구나 지역안전도와 지역안전지수를 구분할 수 있기 때문이다.

Objective : Neurologic complications during carotid artery stenting (CAS) are usually associated with distal embolic event. These embolic incident during CAS are highly associated with the carotid plaque instability. The current study was undertaken to identify the angiographic characteristics of carotid plaque vulnerability, which was represented as filling defect in the cerebral protection filters during CAS. Methods : A total of 107 patients underwent CAS with use of a distal protection filter. Angiographic carotid plaque surface morphology was classified as smooth, irregular, and ulcerated. To determine predictable factors of filling defect in the protection filters, 11 variables were retrospectively analyzed which might influence filling defect in the protection filters during CAS. Results : Filling defects during CAS were presented in the 33 cerebral protection filters. In multivariate analysis, angiographic ulceration [odds ratio (OR), 6.60; 95% confidence interval (CI) : 2.24, 19.4; p=0.001], higher stenosis degree (OR, 1.06; 95% CI : 1.00, 1.12; p=0.039), and coexistent thrombus (OR, 7.58; 95% CI : 1.69, 34.05; p=0.08) were highly associated with filling defect in the cerebral protection devices during CAS. Among several variables, angiographic surface ulceration was the only significant factor associated with flow stagnation during CAS (OR, 4.11; 95% CI : 1.33, 12.72; p=0.014). Conclusion : Plaque surface morphology on carotid angiography can be a highly sensitive marker of plaque instability during CAS. The independent risk factors for filling defect in the filter devices during CAS were plaque ulceration, stenosis degree, and coexistent thrombus.

Purpose: This study presents the analysis on space usage of delivery departments in regional public hospitals. The results intention is to achieve improvement of the delivery environment for the mothers and newborns regarding exposure prevention and efficient infection control. The purpose of this study is to provide fundamental data for architectural plans and guidelines for the delivery department. Method: The investigation and analysis were based on research papers, legal systems, public medical statistical data, and the architectural floor plan drawing. For research, 20 regional public hospitals with an operating delivery room were excluded. Regarding data accessibility, 15 regional public hospitals were selected. Results: To overcome the increased vulnerability of the delivery department, the research results of basic data is provided for the establishment to address urgent needs and rapid response. Thus, the research results are as follows: Firstly, the delivery department needs to respond promptly according to the type of patients. For example, in a case of emergency surgery, a connected circulation plan with the related departments is needed. Secondly, for the environment of the delivery area, alleviating anxiety is imperative for pregnant patients and guardians, labor, childbirth, and recovery. Therefore, these needs must be addressed for treatment space and circulation. Lastly, the delivery department is classified into three areas for analysis: access area, treatment area, and support area. In most of the delivery departments of the 15 selected hospitals, there is no space for the access and support area except for the labor and delivery rooms in the treatment area. For the access area, a waiting area, changing room for pregnant women and guardians, and a storage space for contaminated linens are required for infection prevention, safety, and efficiency. For the treatment area, childbirth processes and circulation should have space reserved for labor, delivery, recovery, examination, and treatment. In preparation for an emergency during childbirth, emergency response measures and supporting space needs to be established. For the support area, circulation and rooms are to be designed for medical staff support, activity space, storage and transportation of equipment, and urgent medical treatment. Implications: Along with the low fertility rate and the decrease of medical institutions that operate delivery departments, for the purpose of establishing a public medical service system and a healthy medical environment for mothers and newborns, the researched information demonstrates basic data on space plan of delivery departments in regional public hospitals.

Statistical- based, principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to chemical data from two underground storage systems containing LPG to assess the usefulness of such technique at the initial stage (Pyeongtaek) or middle stage (Ulsan) of hydrochemical studies. For the first case, both natural and anthropogenic contamination characterize regional groundwater. Saline water buffered by Namyang lake affects as a natural factor, whereas cement grouting influence as an artificial factor. For the second study area, contaminations due to operation of LPG caverns, such as disinfection activity and cement grouting effect, deteriorate groundwater quality. This study indicates that principal component analysis would be particularly useful for summarizing large data set for the purpose of subsurface characterization, assessing their vulnerability to contamination and protecting recharge zones.

The amount of damages caused by natural hazards is consistently growing due to the unusual weather and extreme events. At the same time, property damage by natural hazards is rapidly increasing as well. Hence, we need systematic anti-disaster activities and consulting that can react to such a situation. To address these needs, we investigated and analyzed insured claim payouts from natural hazards by administrative area, and calculate the risk index utilizing GIS. According to the index, this map is identifying the areas of greatest natural hazard risk. The ranking of natural disaster vulnerability based on the risk index, and risk grades were divided into five based on the ranking. This map integrates the natural hazard losses to assist in comprehensive and effective loss prevention activities using analysis of regional loss claims from natural hazards. Moreover, this map can be as utilized as loss mitigation and prevention activities to verify the distribution of exposure and hazards.

While many criminal studies have focused on the motivation of offenders and avoidance of victimization in the micro perspective, there have been a number of theoretical developments emphasizing space as a direct factor that influences the incidence of crime. The main purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of regional characteristics and violent crime incidence in Korea. Applying diverse spatial econometrics models that have less been utilized in the crime literature, this study finds an important association between spatial accessibility and crime incidence. The results suggest that the type of predominant business and the level of road accessibility affect the vulnerability of areas with respect to the incidence of violent crime. This study concludes with some important implications for urban planners and policymakers with respect to crime control and prevention.

가뭄은 태풍이나 집중호우 등 다른 자연재해와는 달리 발생시점이 명확하지 않으며, 가뭄발생 시 피해지역이 광범위하기 때문에 사회 경제적으로 겪는 피해가 매우 크다. 따라서 미래에 발생할 수 있는 가뭄에 대한 평가 및 이에 대한 대응방안의 마련이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 기후학적 인자와 사회경제적인 인자에 대한 여러 가지 통계자료를 이용하여 우리나라 가뭄 위험도를 평가하였다. 가뭄의 발생확률을 바탕으로 가뭄 노출성 지수(DHI)와 가뭄의 사회경제적인 영향을 반영하는 가뭄 취약성 지수(DVI)를 개발하고, 두 인자간의 상호관계를 분석하여, 최종적으로 가뭄 위험도 지수(DRI)를 개발하였다. 행정구역별로 산정된 DRI를 바탕으로 우리나라의 지역적 가뭄 위험도를 평가할 수 있었으며, 가뭄 위험도가 가장 높은 지역은 농업 밀집지역인 전라도로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 제시한 가뭄 위험도 지도는 지역적 특성을 반영하여 가뭄대책을 수립할 수 있는 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Background: The phenomenon of tree dieback in forest ecosystems around the world, which is known to be associated with high temperatures that occur simultaneously with drought, has received much attention. Korea is experiencing a rapid rise in temperature relative to other regions. Particularly in the growth of evergreen conifers, temperature increases in winter and spring can have great influence. In recent years, there have been reports of group dieback of Pinus densiflora trees in Korea, and many studies are being conducted to identify the causes. However, research on techniques to diagnose and monitor drought stress in forest ecosystems on local and regional scales has been lacking. Results: In this study, we developed and evaluated an index to identify drought and high-temperature vulnerability in Pinus densiflora forests. We found the Drought Stress Index (DSI) that we developed to be effective in generally assessing the drought-reactive physiology of trees. During 2001-2016, in Korea, we refined the index and produced DSI data from a 1 × 1-km unit grid spanning the entire country. We found that the DSI data correlated with the event data of Pinus densiflora mass dieback compiled in this study. The average DSI value at times of occurrence of Pinus densiflora group dieback was 0.6, which was notably higher than during times of nonoccurrence. Conclusions: Our combination of the Standard Precipitation Index and growing degree days evolved and short- and long-term effects into a new index by which we found meaningful results using dieback event data. Topographical and biological factors and climate data should be considered to improve the DSI. This study serves as the first step in developing an even more robust index to monitor the vulnerability of forest ecosystems in Korea.

The present study intends to assess the long-term steric sea-level change and its prediction, and potential impacts to the sea-level rise due to the 21st global warming in the coastal zone of the Korea in which much socioeconomic activities have been occurred. The analysis of the 23 tide-gauge data near Korea reveals the overall mean sea-level trend of 2.31 mm/yr.In the satellite altimeter data (Topex/Poseidon and ERS), the sea-level trend in the East Sea is 4.6mm/yr. Both are larger than those of the global average value. However, it is quite questionable that the sea-level trends with the tide-gauge data on the neighboring seas of Korea relate to global warming because of the relatively short observation period and large spatial variability. It is also not clear whether the high trend of altimeter data in the East Sea is related to the acceleration of sea level rise in the Sea, short response time of the Sea, natural variability such as decadal variability, short duration of the altimeter. The coastal zone of Korea appears to be quite vulnerable to the 21st sea level rise such that for the I-m sea level rise with high tide and storm surge, the inundation area is 2,643 km2, which is about $1.2\%$ of total area and the population in the risk areas of inundation is 1.255 million, about $2.6\%$ of total population. The coastal zone west of Korea is appeared to be the most vulnerable area compared to the east and south. In the west of the Korea, the North Korea appears to be more vulnerable than South Korea. In order to cope with the future possible impact of sea-level rise to the coastal zone of Korea effectively, it is essential to improve scientific information in the sea-level rise trend, regional prediction, and vulnerability assessment near Korean coast.
