  • 본 연구는 전주천 지역주민들의 주도적 참여를 통해 도시 내 하천에 섶다리라는 전통문화 시설물을 조성한 사례를 다루고 있다. 섶다리란 섶나무를 엮어서 만든 다리로 추수철에 만들어 이듬해 홍수에 떠내려 보내는 자연다리를 말한다. 본 연구에서는 주민권력단계인 주민통제, 권한위임, 파트너십형성을 의사결정에서 주민이 주도권을 행사할 수 있는 적극적 주민참여사업의 성공단계라 전제하였다. 소공원의 조성 등에 소극적 주민참여기법을 도입한 기존의 사례와 달리 섶다리 사업은 사업의 제안, 사업화 준비, 개발계획 협의, 섶다리 놓기(계획 설계 시공), 철거, 보관, 재설치 및 안전관리의 모든 과정이 주민들의 자율적 통제에 의해 추진된, 실질적인 주민참여가 실현된 사업이라 할 수 있다. 지역의 전통문화 자원인 섶다리의 복원은 유역공동체를 묶는 사회적 자본으로서의 역할을 통해 하천 양안의 지역주민들이 화합할 수 있는 매개를 제공하였으며, 전주시민들에게는 문화적 랜드마크 및 전통문화 체험의 장으로서의 역할을 수행하고, 전주천 생태자원 관찰용 데크의 역할 또한 수행하고 있다. 섶다리 복원 사업의 운영상 성공요인을 정리해보면, 첫째, 엘리트 중심의 주민 참여가 아닌 일반 주민의 자발적 참여를 위한 다양한 소통의 장을 마련하였는데, 섶다리 시민모임, 온라인 카페 개설, 동영상 UCC 제작, 섶다리 모형전시 및 다양한 축제프로그램 기획 등이 그 예라 할 것이다. 둘째, 시민모임을 중심으로 행정당국, 지방의회, 시민단체 및 전문가들의 역할과 책임이 명료하였다. 셋째, 지역의 역사문화시설의 복원을 통한 공동체 의식 회복이라 는 차원에서 사업을 추진함으로써, 영향력 있는 정치지도자 및 관련 전문가 등의 적극적 지지를 이끌어 낼 수 있었다. 특히 지방의회의 적극적 중재로 하천점용허가 및 축제 예산지원의 성과를 얻어낼 수 있었다. 넷째, 행정조직의 공개적이며, 수평적인 행정지원 또한 큰 역할을 하였는데, 예를 들자면 안전성을 담보로 한 유연한 행정력 발휘로 우기를 제외한 시기에는 섶다리를 상시적으로 설치할 수 있도록 하고 있다.

  • Objectives: The exponential growth of chemicals, an area of high concern in developed countries like the US (i.e., the Gore Initiative) and in the EU (i.e., REACH), as well as recent chemical accidents in Korea, have provoked nationwide concerns and resultant legal enforcement. This study aims to compare the laws of the Ministry of Environment (the Chemical Substances Control Act (CSCA), Act on the Registration and Evaluation, etc. of Chemical Substances (ARECS)) with those of the Ministry of the Employment and Labor (Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA)). Methods: Each law pertaining to the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of the Employment and Labor was downloaded from the official legal information system (www.law.go.kr). The objectives of each law and the major contents related to chemical management were compared and summarized. Results: The CSCA and the ARECS are focused on the protection of people and the environment, while the OSHA relates to the protection of workers. The right to know of people and workers has been reinforced. The former two laws emphasize prevention, but the OSHA contains both preventive and post-accident measures. The role of the Ministry of Employment was reinforced with the promulgation of the CSCA and ARECS, which contain regulations such as adjacent area impact evaluation, risk control planning, chemical statistical survey and construction and operation of information, provision of risk control plans, response to chemical accidents and registration of chemical substances. Conclusion: We found that the three laws discussed here have several similar clauses designed to protect people and the environment from risks that may be caused by the use of chemicals, even though there are some differences among them in terms of objectives and contents. This review concluded that several clauses that can be regarded as double regulation should be unified in order to minimize the waste of government administrative resources and socio-economic losses.

  • 최근 러시아를 포함한 동북아 경제의 중요성이 커지고 있으며, 유라시아 이니셔티브 정책에 따르면 동북 아시아의 운송, 물류 및 연결성 향상은 미래 성장 동력의 과제 중 하나로 부상하고 있다. 그러나 각국의 차량 시스템이 다르기 때문에 국가 간 철도 차량은 원활하게 운행되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 서로 다른 시스템의 차량을 안전하게 연계 운행하려는 시도는 유럽-러시아간에 활발하게 이루어지고 있는 실정이나, 동북아-러시아간에는 근래에 들어 연구가 시작되고 있는 추세이다. 특히, 화차의 연결기는 국내 및 중국은 미국의 AAR(Association of American Railroads) 규격을 기본으로 한 연결기를, 러시아는 국가 표준인 GOST(USSR State Standards)를 적용한 연결기를 사용하고 있어, 헤드 형상이 서로 상이하여 상호간 연결이 불가능한 실정일 뿐 아니라, 요구하고 있는 재료의 화학적 성질과 기계적 성질이 상이하다. 이에, 본 논문에서는 국내 철도용품 기술기준과 러시아의 GOST 규정을 만족하는 연결기를 상호 연결할 수 있는 가변형 연결기 및 연결기 어댑터를 개발하는데 있어, 각 국가에서 제시하고 있는 요구사항을 조사하고, 특히, 연결기에 대하여 요구하는 기계적 성질을 만족하는 재질을 개발하는 과정에서 시험을 통한 그 가능성을 분석하여, 향후 각 국가에서 안전하게 사용할 수 있는 연결기 어댑터 제작의 발판을 마련하고자 한다.

  • The JCVSD (Japan Cardiovascular Surgery Database) was organized in 2000 to improve the quality of cardiovascular surgery in Japan. Web-based data harvesting on adult cardiac surgery was started (Japan Adult Cardiovascular Surgery Database, JACVSD) in 2001, and on congenital heart surgery (Japan Congenital Cardiovascular Surgery Database, JCCVSD) in 2008. Both databases grew to become national databases by the end of 2013. This was influenced by the success of the Society for Thoracic Surgeons' National Database, which contains comparable input items. In 2011, the Japanese Board of Cardiovascular Surgery announced that the JACVSD and JCCVSD data are to be used for board certification, which improved the quality of the first paperless and web-based board certification review undertaken in 2013. These changes led to a further step. In 2011, the National Clinical Database (NCD) was organized to investigate the feasibility of clinical databases in other medical fields, especially surgery. In the NCD, the board certification system of the Japan Surgical Society, the basic association of surgery was set as the first level in the hierarchy of specialties, and nine associations and six board certification systems were set at the second level as subspecialties. The NCD grew rapidly, and now covers 95% of total surgical procedures. The participating associations will release or have released risk models, and studies that use 'big data' from these databases have been published. The national databases have contributed to evidence-based medicine, to the accountability of medical professionals, and to quality assessment and quality improvement of surgery in Japan.

  • Bronchodilators provide improvements in lung function and reductions in symptoms and exacerbations, and are the mainstay of pharmacological management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease strategy recommends the use of a combination of long-acting ${\beta}_2-agonist$/long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LABA/LAMA) as the first-line treatment option in the majority of symptomatic patients with COPD. This review provides an indirect comparison of available LABA/LAMA fixed-dose combinations (FDCs) through discussion of important efficacy and safety data from the key literature, with the objective of providing physicians with a framework for informed decision-making. LABA/LAMA FDCs provided greater benefits compared with placebo and similar or greater benefits compared with tiotropium and salmeterol/fluticasone in improving lung function, dyspnea, health-related quality of life, reducing rescue medication use and preventing exacerbations, although with some variability in efficacy between individual FDCs; further, tolerability profiles were comparable among LABA/LAMA FDCs. However, there is a disparity in the amount of evidence generated for different LABA/LAMA FDCs. Thus, this review shows that all LABA/LAMA FDCs may not be the same and that care should be taken when extrapolating individual treatment outcomes to the entire drug class. It is important that physicians consider the efficacy gradient that exists among LABA/LAMA FDCs, and factors such as inhaler devices and potential biomarkers, when choosing the optimal bronchodilator treatment for long-term management of patients with COPD.

  • With ongoing development of earthquake engineering research and the lessons learnt from a series of strong earthquakes, the seismic design concept of "resilience" has received much attention. Resilience describes the capability of a structure or a city to recover rapidly after earthquakes or other disasters. As one of the main features of urban constructions, tall buildings have greater impact on the sustainability and resilience of major cities. Therefore, it is important and timely to quantify their seismic resilience. In this work, a quantitative comparison of the seismic resilience of two tall buildings designed according to the Chinese and US seismic design codes was conducted. The prototype building, originally designed according to the US code as part of the Tall Building Initiative (TBI) Project, was redesigned in this work according to the Chinese codes under the same design conditions. Two refined nonlinear finite element (FE) models were established for both cases and their seismic responses were evaluated at different earthquake intensities, including the service level earthquake (SLE), the design-based earthquake (DBE) and the maximum considered earthquake (MCE). In addition, the collapse fragility functions of these two building models were established through incremental dynamic analysis (IDA). Based on the numerical results, the seismic resilience of both models was quantified and compared using the new-generation seismic performance assessment method proposed by FEMA P-58. The outcomes of this study indicate that the seismic resilience of the building according to the Chinese design is slightly better than that according to the US design. The conclusions drawn from this research are expected to guide further in-depth studies on improving the seismic resilience of tall buildings.

  • Two of the most important topics of the 21st century are ensuring harmony between man and his environment and the emerging long-tail economy in which niche markets are becoming increasingly more important. Since the Industrial Revolution in 17th century, human beings have increasingly exploited the world's natural capital, such as the natural environment and its ecosystems. Now the world is facing limits to sustainable economic growth because of limits to this natural capital. Thus, most countries are beginning to adopt a new development paradigm, the so-called"Green Development Paradigm" which pursues environmental conservation in parallel with economic growth. Recently, the Korean government announced an ambitious national policy of Low Carbon & Green Growth for the next six decades. This is an important step that transforms the existing national policy into a new future-oriented one. The fisheries sector in particular has great potential for making a substantial contribution to this national policy initiative. For example, the ocean itself with its sea plants and phytoplankton has an enormous capacity for fixing carbon, and its vast areas of tidal flats have a tremendous potential for cleaning up pollutants from both the sea and the land. Furthermore, the fishing industry has great potential for the development of fuel-saving biodegradable technologies, and a long-tail economy based on digital technologies can do much to promote the production and consumption of green goods and services derived from the oceans and the fisheries. In order for this potential to be realized, the fisheries authority needs to develop a new green-growth strategy that is practical and widely supported by fishing communities and the markets, taking into account the need for greenhouse gas reduction, conservation of the ocean environment and ecosystems, an improved system for seafood safety, the establishment of strengthened MCS (monitoring control surveillance) system, and the development of coastal ecotourism. In addition, fisheries green policies need to be implemented through a well-organized system of government aids, regulations and compensation, and spontaneous (voluntary) orders in fishing communities should be promoted to encourage far more responsible fisheries.

  • The houses are formed in the lower part of the mountain slope face in most agricultural areas of Korea, and old residents accounting for a large portion of the agricultural populations cannot respond to the evacuation quickly when the landslide happens, and the possibility the life damage occurs is high. Therefore, it is urgent to arrange the measure on this. This study is intended to develop the personal disaster evacuation apparatus that can be installed in the house to minimize the life damage by the landslide and to develop the self-initiative evacuation apparatus. This study suggested the load applicable to the personal disaster evacuation apparatus by quantitatively analyzing the effect of the load of rockslides and avalanches caused by the landslide on the structure. Also, the material property of materials was calculated through the tension and bending intensity test after making the specimen of glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) member. The load weight and material property drawn from this study can be used as the basic material for the stability analysis of the personal disaster evacuation apparatus.

  • In modern Asia major cities had same problem with lack of affordable housing for families. So they had to concentrate to the mass supply of housing and made some physical counter effects like high density of cities, limitation of parking space. Also people who lived in those cities could suffer from broken traditional community culture. To rebuild traditional community and increase land usage, Block housing is suggested as a new kind of multi-family housing for old town redevelopment. Now some governments are trying to make urban code to give some initiative for new block housing development in old city blocks. They expect this new housing type can help to solve serious problems like lack of parking area, green space and context of block. Also they hope that block housing development can help to increase safety of town and reduce cost of development. The purpose of this study is to review the establishment and development process of Block Housing and to confirm the aspect which has been changed with urban organization together. Also this study tried to find out the intentional characteristics of similarities and differences with comparison of Korea and Japan. And as a result we could find critical physical viewpoint, and provide considerations for future study and plan. Several cases of block housing in Korea and Japan were reviewed for comparative study and Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) survey was examined to find satisfaction factors and problems which were expected to improved.
