Recent cohort studies have relied on exposure prediction models to estimate individual-level air pollution concentrations because individual air pollution measurements are not available for cohort locations. For such prediction models, geographic variables related to pollution sources are important inputs. We demonstrated the computation process of geographic variables mostly recorded in 2010 at regulatory air pollution monitoring sites in South Korea. On the basis of previous studies, we finalized a list of 313 geographic variables related to air pollution sources in eight categories including traffic, demographic characteristics, land use, transportation facilities, physical geography, emissions, vegetation, and altitude. We then obtained data from different sources such as the Statistics Geographic Information Service and Korean Transport Database. After integrating all available data to a single database by matching coordinate systems and converting non-spatial data to spatial data, we computed geographic variables at 294 regulatory monitoring sites in South Korea. The data integration and variable computation were performed by using ArcGIS version 10.2 (ESRI Inc., Redlands, CA, USA). For traffic, we computed the distances to the nearest roads and the sums of road lengths within different sizes of circular buffers. In addition, we calculated the numbers of residents, households, housing buildings, companies, and employees within the buffers. The percentages of areas for different types of land use compared to total areas were calculated within the buffers. For transportation facilities and physical geography, we computed the distances to the closest public transportation depots and the boundary lines. The vegetation index and altitude were estimated at a given location by using satellite data. The summary statistics of geographic variables in Seoul across monitoring sites showed different patterns between urban background and urban roadside sites. This study provided practical knowledge on the computation process of geographic variables in South Korea, which will improve air pollution prediction models and contribute to subsequent health analyses.

Recently, the postal service encounters the various changes in the overall mail environment including the reduction of letter volume, keen competition of the private parcel service and EMS, diversification of customers' demand and etc. In this environment, Korea Post is considering new concept of postal service in order to provide the mail service based on informatization and automation to a client and secures the predominance in competition. We analyze the current environment of postal service for applying the gCRM (Geographic Customer Relationship Management). We propose some possible application fields and present an efficient phased application plan for each field.

최근 개발의 압력을 받고 있는 충청북도 영동 민주지산을 대상으로 산림의 질을 평가하고 관리대상을 제시하고자 73개 조사구를 설정하여 조사를 실시하였다. 분석을 위해 27개의 식생과 지리정보변수를 마련하였다. 자료의 양을 줄이기 위해 ordination 기법과 요인분석을 사용하여 변수를 축소시켰다. 식생을 분석한 결과 다섯 개의 군집으로 분류되었으며, 이는 DCA에서도 비슷한 경향을 나타내었다. 요인분석에서는 13개의 변수가 5개가 요인으로 압축되었는데, 요인 1은 수종의 풍부도, 요인 2는 건중량, 요인 3은 밀도, 요인 4는 임령 그리고 요인 5는 지리적 특성으로 나뉘어졌다. 천이상황를 예측하는 모형은 다중회귀로 표현되었고, 주요 변수로는 유기물의 깊이, Shannon의 종다양도 그리고 흉고직경이 사용되었다. 그리고 GIS를 이용한 산림관리의 의사결정과정을 도출하였다.

Slope is the geographic factor reflecting the 3-dimensional features of basin and it can be considered as the important geomorphological factor which governs the morphology of basin and the dynamics of water movement. In this study the approach to the 3-dimensional structures of basin is attempted with statistical analysis of local slope which can be defined and measured in easy and objective manner by means of DEM. As a result local slope is confirmed to be a highly variable spatial factor in basin. And distribution map of local slope based on spatial autocorrelation length in this study would be a useful tool in the further research of hydrology and geomorphology.

International business research presents a broad consensus on the importance of dynamic capabilities in the internationalization of SMEs. However, there is a lack of research on assessing the impact of dynamic capabilities and the level of SMEs' internationalization operating in a turbulent and dynamic business environment. This study examines the impact of environmental dynamism and three sets of dynamic capabilities, namely, sensing, seizing, and reconfiguring capabilities on internationalized SMEs' geographic scope. In addition, this research examines the association between internationalized SMEs' characteristics: SME's age, size, and SME owner/manager's international experience and SMEs' geographic scope. This study used a quantitative research and employed survey questionnaires to collect data from 305 internationalized Malaysian manufacturing SMEs. Anova tests and Chi Square tests were employed to analyze data collected from respondents using SPSS. Research findings revealed that environmental dynamism and dynamic capabilities have a significant impact on internationalized SMEs' geographic scope, however, none of the internationalized SMEs' characteristics had a significant relationship with their geographic scope. The result of this research suggest internationalized SMEs owner/managers need to possess sensing, seizing and reconfiguring capabilities, and monitor business environmental dynamism to increase their geographic scope. This paper ends with drawing a set of concluding remarks and recommendations.

This study was attempted to survey on the prevalence of canine heartworm infection (Dirofilaria immitis) in the Incheon area in 2006. This study showed comparative infection rates of canine heartworm in conjunction with different geographic locations and rearing environments (i.e., indoor, outdoor or free roaming). In total, 24 dogs (6.0%) were D. immitis positive among a total of 400 tested dogs. The geographic distribution of detection rates was Nam-gu (2 dogs, 6.7%), Yeonsu-gu (1 dog, 3.0%), Namdonggu (5 dogs, 8.0%), Pupyoung-gu (4 dogs, 6.7%), Kanghwa-gun (8 dogs, 13.0%), and Onjin-gun (4 dogs, 11.1%). In addition, 4 dogs (2.0%) or 20 dogs (10.0%) were positive for D. immitis among 202 indoor dogs or 198 outdoor dogs including free roaming dogs, respectively, while 13 dogs (11.7%) were positive for D. immitis among 111 outdoor dogs excluding free roaming dogs. In the case of 87 free roaming dogs, 7 dogs (8.1%) among them were positive for D. immitis.

본 연구에서는 현행 환경영향평가 시행에 제공되고 있는 환경영향평가정보지원시스템(EIASS)의 서비스 기능 가운데 가장 실무적 활용도가 많은 환경지리정보서비스시스템(EIAGIS)의 기능을 개선하기 위하여 공간정보오픈플랫폼(Vworld)의 오픈API서비스기능의 활용방안을 실제 환경영향 평가가 시행된 사례를 대상으로 제시하였다. 연구내용을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 먼저 환경영향평가 시행에 있어 실제 EIAGIS의 활용도는 DB의 갱신한계와 2D위주의 낮은 품질의 지형정보 제공 등으로 인하여 매우 저조하였다. 이에 대한 개선방안으로 현재 국토부에서 제공하고 있는 Vworld의 오픈API서비스기능을 활용하여 환경영향평가를 시행하는 실무 수요자의 요구에 맞는 새로운 서비스 개발이 가능하다는 것을 제시하였다. 향후 Vworld을 활용한 EIASS를 구축할 경우 사업계획수립 초기단계에서 사업대안의 설정에 유용한 정보를 제공하는 컨설팅 역할을 수행할 수 있으며, 환경영향평가 시 맞춤형 정보제공이 가능하여 협의기관과 평가대행자간의 동일한 프로그램을 사용함으로서 평가서의 신뢰도 향상과 신속한 협의가 기대될 것으로 예상된다.

이 연구에서는 HTML5 canvas를 활용하여 시각화 도구와 사용자와의 동적 상호작용을 지원하는 웹 기반의 시각적 공간 분석 환경을 설계하고 구현하였다. 분석 환경은 군집지도, 애니메이션 지도, 시간적 평행좌표 그림, 시계열 히트 맵 차트와 같은 시각화 도구로 구성되어 있다. 분석환경에서는 동일한 군집으로 분류된 지역의 속성 변화를 살펴볼 수 있는 다중창 배열과 선별적 강조를 기반으로 하는 패턴 탐색이 가능하다. 그리고 크로스 브라우저를 지원하기 때문에 다양한 정보 기기를 사용하는 컴퓨팅 환경에서도 활용할 수 있다.
