This paper on the socioeconomic role of One Dollar Campaign project initiated by Rwanda Diaspora in the reconstruction of the country after 1994 genocide against Tutsi tends to show how Rwanda Diaspora contributes to the socioeconomic development of their home country. The 1994 genocide against Tutsi in Rwanda has destroyed the country and the Rwandan society; and rebuilding the trust, unity, hope and socioeconomic status of genocide survivors in particular and of all Rwandans in general had to engage all Rwandans wherever they were. The focus of this paper is to assess the change on socioeconomic status of the beneficiaries of the one dollar campaign project initiated by Rwanda Diaspora which aimed to help genocide survivor orphans to have a shelter. The results showed that the amount of money contributed by Rwanda Diaspora for this project is of paramount importance as it exerts a positive impact on genocide orphan survivors' daily life, change of their socioeconomic status and to the country's development in general.

The purpose of this study was to identify the characteristics of fashion leaders in relation to attitude toward change and socioeconomic level among Dae Gu woman as well as among rural women living on the suburbs of Dae Gu: and to compare the characteristics of these urban women in a mass society with the rural women living in a traditional society. Measures selected for this study consisted of the Schrank Fashion Opinion Leadership Inventory(1973), the Schrank ana Sugawara Attitudes Toward Change Inventory(1977), and socioeconomic level. The fashion Innovation Inventory was developed by author which consisted of a list of clothing and accessory items selected after surveys to local stores, campus, and main streets, and study of fashion magazines for the current seasons. The data from 280 respondents were analyzed by Pearson corrleation coefficients, analysis of variance, and t-test. The results were as followers : 1) A significant relationship was found between fashion leadership and socioeconomic level for both urban and rural women. High attitude toward change was significantly related to high fashion innovativeness and high fashion opinion leadership among the urban groups. re significant relationship was found between fashion opinion leadership and attitude toward change among the rural sample. 2) A significant difference was found in attitude toward change scores of four urban sub-sample groups : fashion innovators, fashion opinion leaders, fashion innovative communicators(who exhibit high scores on both fashion innovativeness and fashion opinion leader-ship), and non-fashion innovative communicators. No significant difference was found in attitude toward change scores of four rural sub-sample groups. No significant differences were found in socioeconomic level of four sub-sample groups for both urban and rural women.

This study aims at testing a hypothesis that the resilience of agricultural water systems is characterized by trade-offs and synergies of effects from climate and socioeconomic change. To achieve this, an Agricultural Water System Climate Resilience Assessment (ACRA) framework is established to evaluate comprehensive resilience of an agricultural water system to the combined impacts of the climate and socioeconomic changes with a case study in South Korea. Understanding dynamic behaviors of the agricultural water systems under climate and socioeconomic drivers is not straightforward because the system structure includes complex interactions with multiple feedbacks across components in water and agriculture sectors and climate and socioeconomic factors, which has not been well addressed in the existing decision support models. No consideration of the complex interactions with feedbacks in a decision making process may lead to counterintuitive and untoward evaluation of the coupled impacts of the climate and socioeconomic changes on the system performance. In this regard, the ACRA framework employs a System Dynamics (SD) approach that has been widely used to understand dynamics of the complex systems with the feedback interactions. In the ACRA framework applied to the case study in South Korea, the SD model works along with HOMWRS simulation. The ACRA framework will help to explore resilience-based strategies with infrastructure investment and management options for agricultural water systems.

With the consequences of climate change becoming more evident, research on climate-associated risks has become a basis for climate adaptation and mitigation. Amongst the different sectors and natural resources considered in assessing such risks, drought is one impact to our environment that experiences stress from climate change but is often overlooked and has the potential to bring severe consequences when drought occurs. For example, when temperatures are higher, water demand increases and water supply decreases; when precipitation patterns fluctuate immensely, floods and droughts occur more frequently at greater magnitudes, putting stress on ecosystems. Hence, it is important for us to evaluate drought risk to observe how different climate change and socioeconomic scenarios can affect this vital life resource. In this study, we review the context of drought risk on the basis of climate change impacts and socioeconomic indicators. As underlined in the IPCC AR5 report, the risks are identified by understanding the vulnerability, exposure, and hazards of drought. This study analyzed drought risk on a global scale with different RCP scenarios projected until the year 2099 with a focus on the variables population, precipitation, water resources, and temperature.

본 연구는 저소득 가구의 가족갈등과 가족관계만족도의 변화와 사회경제적 박탈 경험이 이에 미치는 종단적 영향에 대해 살펴봄으로써 사회경제적인 위기 상황에서 저소득 가구 대한 지원방향 설정의 기초자료를 마련하고자 하였다. 한국복지패널의 10차에서 14차에 걸친 5개년 자료를 활용하여 총 803명의 저소득가구의 가구주가 응답한 가족갈등과 가족관계만족도의 종단적 변화를 살펴보았고, 사회경제적 박탈경험이 변화에 미치는 영향에 대하여 살펴보았다. 먼저 저소득가구의 가족갈등은 시간의 변화에 따라 미약한 수준으로 감소하였으며, 가족관계만족도의 변화율은 유의하지 않았다. 사회경제적 박탈을 경험한 가족의 경우, 미경험 가구보다 가족갈등의 초기치가 높았고 변화율은 유의하지 않았으며, 가족관계만족도는 미경험 가구보다 유경험 가구의 초기치가 낮았다. 본 연구결과를 통해 저소득 가구가 사회경제적 박탈을 경험하게 되면 심리적 압박을 느끼게 되고 가족의 불안이 높아지면서 가족갈등이 높고 가족관계만족도가 낮다는 것을 알 수 있다. 이를 바탕으로 지금과 같은 사회경제적 위기 상황에서 저소득 가구에 대하여 경제적 지원과 사회보장적 지원을 확대하고 이와 더불어 가족이 갈등을 스스로 조절하고 원활하게 문제를 해결하도록 돕는 지원이 필요하다는 것을 알 수 있다.

Objectives: This study aimed to examined the socioeconomic disparities in oral health related behaviors and to assess if those behaviors eliminate socioeconomic disparities in oral health in a nationally representative sample of adults aged 30-64. Methods: Data are from the Korea Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2005). Behaviors were indicated by smoking, over intake of daily calories from carbohydrate, perceived stress, frequency of daily tooth brushing, use of oral hygiene goods, insufficient oral treatment. Oral health outcomes were self-reported dental caries and periodontitis during the last 12 months and perceived oral health. Education, household income, and employed status indicated socioeconomic position. Sex, age, residential area, marital status were adjusted for in the logistic regression analysis. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess socioeconomic disparities in behaviors. Logistic regression model adjusting and not adjusting for behaviors were compared to assess the change in socioeconomic disparities in oral health. Results: Clear socioeconomic disparities in all behaviors were showed. After adjusting for behaviors, the association between oral health and socioeconomic indicators attenuated but did not disappear. For example, the odd ratios of reporting poorer oral health for persons in no education or elementary school education and middle school education groups, compared with college or higher education group, were 1.77 (95% CI: 1.36-2.29) and 1.56 (1.19-1.97), respectively. After adjusting for all indicators of behaviors, these odds ratios attenuated to 1.54 (1.17-2.03) and 1.48 (1.15-1.91) for those groups, respectively. Conclusion: These findings suggest that the presence of more complex determinants of socioeconomic disparities in oral health should be considered with developing preventive policies for those disparities.

Objectives : The aim of this study is to summarize the current conditions and implications of health inequalities in South Korea. Methods : Through a literature review of empirical studies and supplementary analysis of the data presented in the 1998, 2001, and 2005 KNHANEs, we evaluated the extent and trends of socioeconomic inequalities in both health risk factors, such as smoking, physical activity, and obesity, and outcomes, such as total mortality, subjective poor health status by self-reports and metabolic syndrome. Relative risks and odds ratios were used to measure differences across socioeconomic groups, and the relative index of inequality was used to evaluate the changes in inequalities over time. Results : We found clear inequalities to various degrees?in most health indicators. While little change was observed in mortality differences over time, the socioeconomic gaps in risk factors and morbidity have been widening, with much larger differences among the younger population. Conclusions : Socioeconomic inequalities are pervasive across various health indicators, and some of them are increasing. The trends in socioeconomic inequalities in health should be carefully monitored, and comprehensive measures to alleviate health inequalities are needed, especially for young populations.

수자원 분야에서 기후변화 취약성 평가 연구는 미래를 반영하는 기후변화 시나리오를 다양한 방법으로 적용하고 있다. 하지만 대부분의 미래 취약성 평가 연구에서 미래 사회 및 경제 변화는 반영되지 않고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 통합적인 미래 시대상을 반영하기 위하여 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)에서 개발한 Reprensentative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 기후 변화 시나리오와 함께 공동 사회 경제 경로 시나리오(Shared Socioeconomic reference Pathway, SSP)를 적용하고자 하였다. 취약성 평가는 현재 상황 뿐 아니라 미래 시나리오를 반영하기에 적절한 지표를 선정하고 다기준 의사결정기법인 TOPSIS (Technique for Order Performance by Similarity to Ideal Solution)를 활용하여 각 지표를 통합하는 방법으로 진행하였다. 지표 자료는 국가 통계 및 보고서, 기후변화 시나리오가 반영된 SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) 모형의 모의 결과, 사회 경제 시나리오를 활용하였으며, 최종적으로 주요 수계인 한강 유역의 단기 미래(2020)와 중기 미래(2050)에 대한 중권역별 물이용 취약성 순위를 도출하였다. 전반적으로 기후변화만 적용한 결과와 사회 경제 변화를 함께 적용한 결과는 유사한 공간분포를 보였으나, SSP 시나리오에 따라 일부 유역에서 차이를 보였다. 미래 시나리오 적용 시 유역의 순위 변동성이 유사하게 나타났으나 일부에서는 SSP 시나리오 적용 유무에 따른 차이를 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 기후변화 취약성 분석 시 사회 경제 시나리오 활용가능성을 확인하였고, 이에 사회 경제 변화를 고려하는 것이 보다 효과적인 기후변화 대응에 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

Estimation of future land cover based on climate change scenarios is an important factor in climate change impact assessment and adaptation policy. This study estimated future land cover considering Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP) using Scenario Generators. Based on the storylines of SSP1-3, future population and estimated urban area were adopted for the transition matrix, which contains land cover change trends of each land cover class. In addition, limits of land cover change and proximity were applied as spatial data. According to the estimated land cover maps from SSP1-3 in 2030, 2050, and 2100, respectively, urban areas near a road were expanded, but agricultural areas and forests were gradually decreased. More drastic urban expansion was seen in SSP3 compared to SSP1 and SSP2. These trends are similar with previous research with regard to storyline, but the spatial results were different. Future land cover can be easily adjusted based on this approach, if econometric forecasts for each land cover class added. However, this requires determination of econometric forecasts for each land cover class.
