Nature resource management system of Iriomote Island can be categorized into eight stages which are equivalent to regional development stages. 1) Networking among local people, tourists, researchers, tour operators and government authorities enhanced collection of resource data. 2) On the early stage, resource data were available only to researchers and government authorities. From the third stage of this system, however, local people were also involved in resource investigation, so they became to well recognize the values of their local resources. 3) On the sixth stage, data on unfamiliar local resources and attractions became to be known to people by real-time data collection and data provision services. The tourist number gradually increased and their visitation patterns were dispersed into different sites and seasons. In addition, some tourists also participated in resource investigation and they were likely to visit the place again. 4) To achieve successful ecotourism development, it is necessary to establish a management system with a feed-back process to identify, evaluate, use and protect the resources.

This study examined the subcomponents of the local environment that have an important influence on the life satisfaction of people living in single-person households and analyzed how the causal relationship between these variables differs between generations. Specifically, the local environment was classified into the following subcomponents: convenience, comfort, safety, healthcare, and neighborhood relationships. This study analyzed the data of 3,260 respondents from single-person households in the 2020 Residents' Quality of Life Survey in Gyeonggi Province. As a result, it was found that the perception of all subcomponents of the local environment had a positive effect on the life satisfaction of people in single-person households. The effect of neighborhood relationships was relatively large compared to other subcomponents. Next, the influencing factors on life satisfaction of people in single-person households showed differences between generations, which were defined by this study as youth (under age 35), middle-aged (35-64), and elderly (65 and older). Convenience and safety for the youth group and neighborhood relationship for the middle-aged group were most important. The elderly group was most affected by healthcare.

We propose a bicycle detection system riding on people based on modified projected local binary pattern(PLBP) for vision based intelligent vehicles. Projection method has robustness for rotation invariant and reducing dimensionality for original image. The features of Local binary pattern(LBP) are fast to compute and simple to implement for object recognition and texture classification area. Moreover, We use uniform pattern to remove the noise. This paper suggests that modified LBP method and projection vector having different weighting values according to the local shape and area in the image. Also our system maintains the simplicity of evaluation of traditional formulation while being more discriminative. Our experimental results show that a bicycle and motorcycle riding on people detection system based on proposed PLBP features achieve higher detection accuracy rate than traditional features.

본 연구의 목적은 경상북도 유일의 예술영화관인 안동중앙극장이 지역문화자원으로써 지역민들에게 어떻게 인식되고 있는지를 분석한 것이다. 이를 위하여 지역문화자원 관련 선행연구 조사와 안동중앙극장 및 예술영화관 관련 자료를 토대로 지역문화자원과 안동중앙극장의 기능을 분석하고 상관성을 검토하여 지역문화자원으로써 안동중앙극장의 인식을 위한 분석틀을 설정하였다. 제안된 분석틀을 토대로 지역문화자원으로서 안동중앙극장에 대한 인식을 문화·예술향유로서의 인식, 역사성으로서의 인식, 관광지로서의 인식, 커뮤니티형성으로서의 인식이라는 네 가지로 구분하였다. 연구 결과 안동중앙극장은 지역문화자원의 세 가지 기능인 정체성, 전통성, 공동체성을 갖고 있다고 판단되며, 이에 따라 안동중앙극장은 지역의 문화자원으로써 기능을 하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 따라서 지역의 문화자원들은 단독으로 존재하기보다는 그 지역의 역사와 주변 환경의 흐름 속에서 기능을 수행하고 있었다. 안동중앙극장 역시 지역문화자원으로써 지역의 역사성을 지키며 문화예술의 향유공간이자 관광지로서, 대중과 소통하는 문화 공간으로써 그 기능을 하고 있다. 추후 안동중앙극장이 지역문화자원으로서 지속적으로 역할을 할 수 있는 구체적 방안에 대한 연구가 이어지길 기대한다.
