This study analyzed problems of interpretive signs along Eorimok-Yeongsil Trail on Mt. Hallasan National Park, focusing on factors of distracting visitor's attention from reading and understanding the signs. Eorimok-Yeongsil Trail has a total of 86 signs, and according to their purpose and content, they are classified into thirteen general signs, sixteen location signs, nine safety signs and forty-eight interpretive signs. Interpretive signs provide visitors with information and explanations about the nature and human resources of Mt. Hallasan as well as enhancing the opportunity for self-guided interpretation. The contents of interpretive signs of Eorimok-Yeongsil Trail are composed of landscapes, flora and fauna, topography, geology, history and culture, of which 70.8% of the total are related to plants and animals. Interpretive signs on the Eorimok-Yeongsil Trail do not attract visitors' attention because of the low readability, inappropriate locations and frequent errors in translation from Korean into other languages. The causes of low readability of interpretive signs include thirty-six physically damaged and faded signs, twenty-two improper font sizes and misuse of color schemes and five unclear description signs. The reasons for the incorrect locations include twenty-two long distances from the trails, twenty-one inadequate heights and fifteen inconsistencies in descriptions and locations. Problems with English use include eight grammar and spelling errors, twenty-one incorrect translations, and twenty-six English names missing.

It is worth of studying to investigate type of MCR by hospital departments. METHODS : Fifty Cases of the MCR were selected randomly by statistical program SPSS among 1,032 cases which were performed between April 1, 2006 and March 31 2007. All of selected cases were evaluated one insurance doctor and made a score points from 0 to 10 in terms of hospital department. RESULTS : Multidimensional scaling was performed. The MCR types - diagnosis, malignancy and cause of death are located in the same 2-dimensional configuration area. It can be called as verification of benefit. Others are advice. - such as causality, interpretation, translation, independent medical examination, and so on. DISCUSSION : We can conclude the classification of MCR typology are two main subjects, verification and advice. Theses results are same as previous article which was based on experience.

Objectives: This study was conducted to evaluate the oral health literacy of foreign students in Korea regarding their utilization of dental clinic services and oral care products. Methods: This study measured the oral health literacy through a self-administered questionnaire that were distributed among 145 foreign students in Seoul and 153 Korean students in Wonju, Gangwon province. The questionnaire is used to assess the oral health literacy with a total of 92 questions including 30 questions on linguistic oral health literacy, and 40 questions on functional oral health literacy (sentence translation ability 27 questions, document decoding ability 13 questions), and 22 questions on the general characteristics. The collected data were analyzed by frequency test, ${\chi}^2$, independent t-test, and ANOVA with p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The linguistic oral health literacy awareness score was doubly lower in foreign students $20.5{\pm}22.4%$ than Korean students $53.9{\pm}18.4%$ (p<0.05), three words were not statistically significant with less than 10% of all the foreign and Korean students. Correct answer rate of sentence translation ability was statistically significant in all questions by foreign students $26.7{\pm}27.1%$ and Korean students $99.0{\pm}2.3%$ (p<0.05). Correct answer rate of document decoding ability showed a relatively small difference between foreign students and Korean students with $54.7{\pm}33.1%$ and $87.3{\pm}8.7%$, respectively, but it was statistically significant in all questions (p<0.05). Oral health literacy according to residence period and Korean language class level of foreign students were the most correlated among the other variables (p<0.05). Conclusions: Dental terminology was difficult for ordinary people to understand regardless of the Korean language proficiency levels, so it is recommended and needed to express dental clinical terms in simple layman's term or to use illustrations to dental patients. In case of foreign residents in Korea, interpretation services are needed. Additionally, labels and instructions of oral hygiene products retailed in Korea with the consideration for foreigners are required.

인삼 재배적지 선정은 방대한 양의 공간정보는 인삼정보시스템을 통하여 경제적으로 분석되었으며 효과적으로 지형모형을 탐구할 수 있다. 다양한 자연 현상들과 재배기술에 의해 인삼 생산이 복합적으로 작용하여 이루어지기 때문에 정보를 수집, 입력, 분석하는데 많은 어려움이 있으므로 하나의 지리 정보시스템에서 자료를 관리, 분석하면 많은 장점이 있다. 각종 인삼 정보들을 하나의 시스템에 입력하고 이를 토대로 금산지역 인삼의 생육조건을 고려한 지형, 토양 및 지질의 특성만을 고려하여 재배적지로 선정하였다. 이번 연구에서 구축된 시스템에서 생산된 고품질 삼을 생산하기 위해 기초적인 인삼정보시스템을 활용할 수 있다. 구축된 인삼정보시스템은 인삼재배와 관련된 지질분포, 토양의 성질, 기후 변화의 특성, 사면의 경사 및 향분석 등의 현황조사를 근거로 금산군 지역의 다양한 재배 특성을 고려하여 우량삼을 생산할 수 있는 재배적지를 선정하였다.
