The current 52-hour workweek in South Korea consists of 40 hours of regular work and 12 hours of overtime. Although the average working hours in South Korea is declining, it is still 199 hours longer than the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development average of 1,716 hours per year. In view to this, the South Korean government has now proposed to reform the workweek, mainly intending to increase the workweek to 69 hours when the workload is heavy. This reform, by increasing the labor intensity due to long working hours, goes against the global trend of reducing work hours for a safe and healthy working environment. Long working hours can lead to increased cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases, industrial accidents, mental health problems, and safety accidents due to lack of concentration. In conclusion, the Korean government's working hour reform plan can have a negative impact on workers' health, and therefore it should be thoroughly reviewed and modified.

According to "The regulations regarding the residential construction standards", residents' common spaces are restricted by the standards on building facilities. In a typical apartment complex, residents' communal facilities are represented by a children's playground, a elderly social station, and a management office. However, these residents' communal facilities do not reflect residents' composition characteristics. Multidisciplinary research and experimentation to enable the community of housing complex are being actively conducted. In these situation, we observed institutional improvement about installing standard of community space, and analysed the tendency. The purpose of this study is to propose practical institutions to review the institutional improvement. We conducted a case study where was renovated the community space according to the new standard. As a results, the installing standard of the community space has changed in the direction to increase the autonomy of resident. These results raise the practical performance of the community space, and it has the effect of increasing the satisfaction of the residential environment. The results of this study suggest an alternative to the institutional aspects and planning aspects for community activation in housing complex.

Play areas of childcare facility capable of stimulating the interests of children is extremely important. However, Childcare facility play areas in Korea are often placed in 'leftover' spaces due to institutional inadequacies. As a result, unlike the diverse play areas found in other countries, play areas in Korea have a standard appearance. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the specific causes of the physical differences in the childcare facility play areas of Korea and other countries. This study compared regulations, handbooks and guidelines and examined case studies of childcare facility play areas outside of Korea. Five institutional-level differences related to play areas between countries were identified as a result of this analysis. Suggestions for improvement at the institutional-level were proposed to each of the identified categories. This study focuses on the play areas of childcare facility and suggests directions for the improvement of play areas that are both institutionally and physically realistic.

To suggest future directions for the improvement in the Institutional Review Board (IRB) review process and efficient operation of IRB, we have analyzed the IRB review results from 460 new research proposals submitted to the Review by the Convened IRB of the Keimyung University Dongsan Hospital IRB from January 2019 to July 2021. IRB is an independently established institutional committee to protect the human subjects by reviewing the research protocol in ethical as well as scientific aspects, so it is necessary to continuously contemplate the ethical versus scientific dilemma of 'what is ethical or scientific and what can actually protect human subjects.' Particularly, in this process, it is necessary to consider diverse ways to strengthen self-supervision through continuous Internal Audit rather than simple reporting outcomes. In addition, if it does not directly affect the protection of the human subjects, the discussion with the committee members is needed so that the comments such as administrative and typographical errors can be reduced as much as possible. Furthermore, as statistical analysis methods can have a significant impact on the safety of human subjects, if a legal basis and/or support related to statistics is provided for the composition of IRB members, a more specialized IRB review will be achieved.

In this paper, we analyze the quality status of Health and Welfare division's standardized log and asses the characteristics of the institutions' logs analysis to establish the criteria to minimize hazards and control the quality of log's institutional details to limit extraction. As a result, extraction condition's proposed development direction to adequately assess and control health and welfare abuses privacy control target log. This improvement over the status and quality of information shared with relation to institutional work of the log quality characteristics is made possible. In addition, quality control and inspection standards were prepared in accordance with the institutional log characteristics. Future research will include performing continuous analysis and improvement activities on the quality of logs with integrated control of sharing personal information and distributing information about logs' quality to proactively target organ. Therefore, we expect that correcting proactive personal information misuse and leakage is possible to achieve.

본 연구는 미국 북중미학교기관협의회 산하 고등학습위원회의 기관평가인증제 평가모형 개혁에 따른 시사점 분석을 통해 한국의 제2주기 기관평가인증제 평가모형 수립에 대해 제언하는 것을 목적으로 수행되었다. 이를 위해 기관평가인증제 평가모형의 주요 요소인 인증모형, 인증 주기 및 종합평가, 평가준거, 결과판정, 인증지원시스템을 중심으로 고등학습위원회 및 한국대학평가원의 기관평가인증제를 비교 분석하였으며, 분석 결과를 바탕으로 한국의 제2주기 기관평가인증제 시행과 관련하여 다음과 같이 제언하였다. 첫째, 대학의 특성과 질 수준 차이를 반영한 다양한 인증모형을 개발하여 적용할 필요가 있다. 둘째, 최소 수준 질 인증과 함께 기관의 지속적인 질 제고를 유도하는 평가가 필요하다. 셋째, 대학 사명에 근거한 평가를 강화하고 정량적 평가를 최소화하며 평가위원 풀을 확대하고 교육훈련을 강화해야 한다. 넷째, 질 제고 강화를 위해 중간평가를 엄격하게 시행할 필요가 있다. 다섯째, 정부는 기관평가인증제 결과를 대학구조조정 등에 적극적으로 반영해야 한다. 여섯째, 기관평가인증제를 관리하는 시스템 구축 및 대학정보공시제와 연동이 필요하다.

본 연구는 대설재난 대응을 위한 제도적 개선요인을 도출하고 주요 우선순위를 선정하기 위해 AHP분석을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 대설대응관련 계획수립이 중요도 0.461로 가장 중요한 것으로 나타났다. 이는 대설대응체계 구축을 위해서는 시설, 자원, 정책보다 계획의 수립이 더 중요하다는 것을 의미한다. 대설대응을 위한 계획 중에서도 대응과 관련된 계획 수립이 종합중요도 0.175로 다른 개선요소에 비해 가장 우선적으로 선행되어야 한다고 도출되었다. 이것은 대설관련 계획 중 경감 및 예방, 대비, 대응, 복구계획 중에서 대응측면을 가장 중요하게 생각하는 것으로 대설과 관련된 법제도 개선시 가장 필요하다는 것을 시사해주고 있다. 본 연구결과는 향후 대선재난 대응을 위한 제도적 개선방안 수립시 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

Purpose: This study estimates the threshold values of institutional quality through investigating the non-linear effect of six sub-indices of Worldwide Governance Indicators on FDI inflows in 34 developing countries in Asia and Eastern Europe over the period from 2000-2017. Research Design, data and methodology: GMM EGLS is employed which does not include the lagged value of the dependent variable as an independent variable. As a proxy for the institutional quality, either one of the six sub-indices of WGI from World Bank or the composite index obtained through a principal component analysis is used in a separate model. Results: An improvement in institutional quality, when the quality stays below a certain threshold level, does not increase FDI inflows, and only when the quality is above the threshold, it can positively influence FDI inflows. The threshold values of political stability and absence of violence, government effectiveness, and rule of law are relatively higher than those of the other dimensions of WGI. Conclusion: Institutional quality of the developing economies of Asia and Eastern Europe has a non-linear effect on FDI inflows. The target countries need to upgrade their institutional quality above the threshold in order to attract more FDIs.
