Without exception, diverse LULU(Locally Unwanted Land Use) facilities have been under the location conflict, especially between the public government units and local residents. In spite of repeated trials-and-errors, literally, the location conflict has shown no sign of improvement over time in Korea. As practical means to tackle these issues, this study focuses on divulging explicit and implicit relationships among key factors derived from the location conflict on the LULU facilities. Here, major research variables cover residents' agreement, residents' perception, compensation expectation, and public opinion. As the location conflict on the LULU facilities could be strengthened or resolved by the dynamic feedback system, it applies basic tools geared toward causal loop diagramming. After repeated experiments, the study highlights the fact that the residents' perception, compensation expectation, and public opinion, individually and collectively, exert significant impact on the residents' agreement ratio.

As societal interest in inequality increases in Korea, both public and academic discussion on inequality is also on the rise. In order to more effectively discuss the problems of rising inequality, however, it is essential to study the consequences and implications of inequality. This study examines one of the consequences of inequality, particularly on individuals - the relationship between an individual's perception of inequality and his/her evaluation of societal health, such as social trust and social mobility. According to a statistical analysis of the Korean Academic Multimode Open Survey for Social Sciences (KAMOS), those who perceive the level of income and wealth inequality in Korea as more unequal tend to have a lower level of trust toward Korean society and Korean people, as well as a lower expectation for both intra- and intergenerational social mobility. This study, which shows that rising inequality could have a negative impact at the individual level, not only extends the scope of the consequence-of-inequality studies from the society-oriented toward the individual-oriented, but it also has significant implications for the field, suggesting a new direction for future studies.

본 연구에서는 현직 법관 24명을 대상으로 법관들이 재판과 관련하여 사회여론을 어떻게 개념화하는지와 사회여론에 대해 어떤 태도를 취하는지에 대한 초점 집단 면접(FGI)을 실시하고, 인터뷰 내용에 대한 근거이론적 분석과 구조적 토픽 모델링(STM)을 수행하였다. 근거이론적 분석 결과에 따르면, 연구 참여자들은 사회상규, 사회통념, 법감정, 국민정서를 여론과 개념적으로 구분하였고, 여론을 특정한 법적 쟁점이나 사건에 대한 일시적이고 감정적인 반응과 정책에 대한 지속적인 의견으로 구분하여 이해하였다. 그리고 사건의 종류나 법적 쟁점에 따라 여론이나 사회통념에 대해 다른 태도를 취하는 것으로 나타났다. 토픽 모델링 결과는 근거이론적 분석 결과와 상당한 유사성을 보였고, 특정 토픽의 발현 가능성은 연구 참여자들의 담당 사건 종류에 따라 통계적으로 유의미한 차이를 보였다.

이 연구는 여론 지각이 의견표현에 미치는 영향을 현실공간과 사이버공간에서 비교한 연구이다. 사이버공간은 현실공간과 달리 관계로부터의 고립이 개인에게 가져다줄 위험이 미미하다. 그 결과 사이버공간은 자신의 의견을 소수 의견이라고 지각하는 사람이 다수 의견이라고 지각하는 사람들보다 의견표현을 자제해야한다고 생각할 이유가 별로 없다. 따라서 현실공간에서는 다수 지각자보다 의견표현 수준이 낮은 소수지각자라 하더라도 사이버공간에서는 다수 지각자만큼 적극적으로 의견을 표현할 것이라고 이 연구에서는 예측했다. 분석결과 이 예측은 타당한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 이 연구의 분석결과는, 다수 지각이냐 소수 지각이냐가 아니라 여론 지각과 관련하여 의견표현의 적극성에 더 큰 차이를 가져오는 것은 자신의 의견과 여론의 향방을 비교하는데 성공하느냐 여부 그 자체임을 보여준다. 현실공간에서도 소수 지각자는 최소한 비교에 실패한 사람들 즉, 의견과 지각 차원에서 명확한 판단을 하지 못하는 사람들보다 의견표현에 더 적극적이기 때문이다. 이처럼 다수지각과 소수지각이 의견표현의 적극성 정도에 미치는 영향은 공간에 따라 다르게 나타나지만, 두 공간에서 의견표현에 더 적극적인 사람들은 대체로 유사한 특성을 지닌다. 어떤 공간이든지 이슈를 중요하게 생각하는 사람일수록, 커뮤니케이션에 대한 우려를 적게 하는 사람들일수록, 그리고 나이가 많은 사람들일수록 더 적극적으로 의견을 표현한다. 다면 현실공간에서는 이에 더해 성, 진보보수성향과 같은 인구사회학적 특성이, 사이버공간에서는 온라인 대화 빈도와 같은 특성이 의견표현의 적극성 정도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타난다.

The main objective of this study was to investigate the awareness and perception of young professionals in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Vietnam countries on the ASEAN Economic Community (hereafter, AEC). Data from a survey of 575 young professionals, with approximately equal distribution from each country, were collected in June and July 2015. Research findings revealed that the knowledge and understanding of the AEC among the Gen Y professionals were still marginal. Although they lack awareness, young professionals had a good impression and perception of the AEC in connection with important benefits for them individually as well as for their country. Finally, the study revealed that the Gen Y professionals showed some level of optimistic attitude that they could succeed in the AEC as they thought that they were quite well prepared, having sufficient skills to work or to do business in other ASEAN countries.

In this study, we examine how the third- and first-person perceptions of election polling news are linked to voters' political behaviors through anxiety and pride. The results of two web-based surveys conducted before and after the 2022 local elections in South Korea demonstrate that the third-person perception of election polling news is directly and indirectly linked to support for restrictions on media reports of election poll results through anxiety. The first-person perception of polling news is positively associated with reinforcement of support for the preferred candidate. These results suggest that how voters perceive the effects of polling news may have actual impacts on their political behaviors.

A low level of transparency and trust in the release of government information during the COVID-19 pandemic could decrease the chance of success in handling the coronavirus outbreak. This worldwide pandemic has damaged not only human health but also created an economic and social crisis. Indonesia is no exception. Unfortunately, an analysis of a mixed-method survey of 500 participants found that public perception of transparency in the government's release of COVID-19 information is still at a low level. This perceived low level of transparency generates minimum trust in the information. Only 8% of participants trust the government's information regarding the virus. Even though the Indonesian government launched an official website, www.covid19.go.id, which is intended as a primary source of valid information about COVID-19 in Indonesia, most survey participants had never used the website. However, contrary to the low levels of perceived transparency and trust, most participants said that the messages from the government are clear and easy to understand. This contradiction resulted from skepticism toward the government. Therefore, this research presents a better understanding of how the level of transparency and trust is also related to the level of skepticism of the government.

The relationship between compliance with behaviors recommended to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and media exposure, negative emotions, and risk perception was examined using regression analyses of data from KAMOS, a nationally representative survey of South Korean adults. The strongest predictor of preventive behaviors in general was negative emotions, which had the largest βh (.22) among the independent variables considered. The eight negative emotions, identified using factor analysis of a series of 11 emotions, were anger, annoyance, fear, sadness, anxiety, insomnia, helplessness, and stress. Negative emotions themselves were influenced most strongly by the respondent's anxiety over social safety (βe=.286), followed by prediction of COVID-10 spread (β=.121, p<.001) and perceived risk of COVID-19 infection (β=.70, p=.023). Females (β=-.134) and those who felt less healthy (βo=-.097) experienced more negative emotions. Media exposure and increased media exposure both have significant relationships with negative emotions and both a direct and indirect impact on the adoption of preventive measures. Women, older people, and healthier people perceived greater risks and engaged in more preventive behaviors than their counterparts.

Background: Since 2010, Korea has maintained a DNA database of those convicted of or awaiting trial for certain crimes. There have been proposals to expand the list of crimes included in this database, or conversely, omit certain crimes if they are committed during protests. An understanding of the feelings of the public as we consider the ethical, legal, and social aspects of a DNA database and as revisions to laws are made is required. Methodology: Questions related to the DNA database were included in the nationally representative Korean Academic Multimode Open Survey (KAMOS) panel (June-August 2016). Results: Of 2,000 randomly selected panel members, 1,013 respondents participated in this survey, including 89.2% who supported the existence of a criminal DNA database. The current system of storing DNA profiles until a suspect's acquittal or a convict's death was supported by 79.5% of respondents. In addition, 70.8% of respondents agreed with the expansion of crime categories included in the criminal database. Many (93.4%) respondents favored genetic testing and data storage to determine the identity and cause of death for people who die of unnatural causes. Some differences in attitude related to social class were noted, with those who self-identified as members of the upper class more likely to support the database and its expansion to include additional crimes than those who self-identified as middle or lower class. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that Koreans generally support the criminal DNA database.
