  • Based on a result of we research and analysis of this study, it was analyzed that the average annual cremators number using E-Haneul Funeral Information System among the five public cremation facilities in Jeollabukdo was 9,713 in total before the opening of public creation facilities in Jeongeup City (2013-2015), while the number was 12,159 after the opening of public cremation facilities in Jeongeup City (2016-2019); the number was increased by 2,446, compared to the opening period (2013-2015), with a large increase rate of 25.2%. In addition, the average annual cremation rate before the opening of public cremation facilities in Jeongeup City (from 2013 to 2015) was 71.6%, but the average annual cremation rate during the period after the opening (from 2016 to 2019) was 81.5%, which was a large increase rate of 9.9% compared to period before the opening of the facilities. Based on research results above, we have presented policy suggestions in order to increase the efficiency of operation and management of public cremation facilities by local governments as follows. First, in order to prepare for the increase in demand for cremation due to the increase in cremators number, a policy promotion for the expansion of "public cremation facilities" should be carried out as soon as possible, focusing on local governments whose supply has reached the limit. Second, in order to support the expansion and construction of public cremation facilities, the government subsidy rate and government subsidy at the level of current 70%, provided by the central government, should be further expanded. Third, overcoming theNIMBY conflict overlocation for public cremation facilities, theutilization rate should be enhanced, through the joint construction and facility operation of the public cremation facilities between local governments, and the ef iciency of the project implementation should be improved through the jointsharing of the facility operation cost.

  • With the restriction of foreigners' entry into Korea due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the fishery industry faced significant challenges in supplying migrant workers. In response to this, there is growing interest in methods that could facilitate the stable employment of migrant workers. This paper investigates whether the current system used for the employment of migrant workers in the fishery industry, which is highly dependent on them, adequately performs its function of providing a stable and skilled workforce amid the intensified labor shortage resulting from decreasing numbers of households with employment in the fishery and the aging Korean fishermen. To this end, past studies and government documents pertaining to the current system were analyzed, and a survey targeting the owners of offshore fishing boats that employ migrant workers was conducted. A total of 147 owners of fishing boats responded to the survey, and the data of 499 migrant workers employed by them were used for the analysis. The analysis indicated that the migrant fishermen had difficulty in acquiring minimum scores for the change of visa status according to the criteria for the Skilled Worker Points System. Furthermore, distinct differences were found between the characteristics and working conditions of migrant workers employed through the Employment Permit System (EPS) and the Foreign Seamen System. Based on this result, this paper suggests the reorganization of the skilled migrant worker system in the fishery industry and the expansion of the regional specialized visa pilot project.

  • Recently, emerging countries have been paying attention to Korean economic development policy, trying to adopt the Korean regional innovation model. Korea is also interested in exporting its regional innovation model and enhancing economic cooperation with those countries. This paper aims to analyze the capacity-building programs of the Korean regional innovation model for emerging countries and suggests policies for it. For this purpose, the local innovators' participation patterns in the process of collaborative learning/networking/interaction are investigated with a focused group-interview method. From an analysis of the programs supported by Korean organizations, this study finds that the correlation coefficient between the training time of capacity building and the participation rate of local members' collaborative learning is very high (0.975). Since the correlation coefficient between the participation rates of collaborative learning and networking is relatively low (0.667), a policy to link local collaborative learning to networking should be provided. As the correlation coefficient between the participation rates of networking and interaction is high (0.950), networking is a key to regional innovation. This study recommends activity programs to promote networking among local innovators, rather than training and consulting programs. As introduced in the Chungnam Techno Park case, this study suggests that the capacity-building program should include programs to initiate a collaborative learning network, to create a local-demand, regional innovation model, and to operate the regional innovation platform, which should be done by local innovators in the emerging countries.

  • Co-operative education and internships are generally treated as an alternative way to increase the employment rate by resolving the mismatch between college education and the industrial needs of the job specification. Based on a questionnaire survey on Korean universities, this study examined the current status of programs and the operating mechanism for co-operative education and internship to provide policy suggestions for promoting the depth and width of co-operative education in Korean universities. The results of the survey shows that the majority of students carry out internships on a short-term basis and the universities usually lack the capabilities for effectively running the programs of co-operative education and internships. In particular, as a part of the academic curriculum, co-operative education should be focused on the balance and effective linkage between the occupations given to students and the majors in university.

  • The regulation of satellite remote sensing is generally included with the scope of statutes governing outer space activities. But not all states opted for dedicated satellite remote sensing regulation. The decision whether to do so depends in part on the specific capabilities of national satellite remote sensing programs. Five states that have dedicated statutes governing operations with remote sensing data are the United States, with its developed Landsat regime (the Land Remote Sensing Policy Act of 1992, LRSPA), Canada, with its Remote Sensing Systems Act, Germany, with its Satellite Data Securities Protection Act (SatDSiG), France, with its Law on Space Operations (LOS), Japan, with its Act on Ensuring Appropriate Handling of Satellite Remote Sensing Data. The major purpose of this article is to shed light on some legal issues surrounding remote sensing activities by comparative review. The paper analyzes international conventions or soft law and national law and policies relating to satellite remote sensing. It also offers some implications and suggestions for regulations of satellite remote sensing operations and satellite data.
