Objectives: This study aims at examining the association of sense of community with community participation for health promotion in urban areas of Korea. Methods: We analyzed data from 'Community Capacity for Healthy Gangdong Communites' Survey' in 2007. The survey was based on self-reported questionnaires, which were distributed to 1,800 community residents over the age of nineteen in five administrative communities of Gangdong-gu, Seoul, in Korea by using proportionate probability sampling method. We measured 'Sense of community' with four indicators including 'Good neighborhoods', 'Perceived possibility of cooperation', 'Pride of community' and 'Possibility of development' by using 5-point Likert scales. Community participation was measured with the experience rate or the extent of participation by 5-point Likert scales in seven community actions or activities including voting, community program planning, social actions, etc. We examined the association of sense of community with community participation by using regression analyses. Results: This study has shown that sense of community was associated with and made positive impacts on community participation in diverse community actions or activities in urban communities. Conclusions: For promoting community health in urban areas, we can increase community participation more effectively with the efforts of enhancing sense of community.

Sense of community and length of residence are important variables influencing community participation. The study aims to identify the factors influencing community participation on sense of community. Particularly, the study examine the moderating effects on the length of residency between sense of community and community participation. Data were collected from 130 usable questionnaires among residents of rural villages. Results of a factor analysis yielded three dimensions of sense of community which are solidarity, belonging, and emotional intimacy. Results show that all of factors among three dimensions of sense of community have significance for community participation. And length of residency has a positive effects as a moderator between community capacity and community satisfaction. Results also indicated that length of residence has an negative interactional effects with moderator. It means that even though higher belonging, less community participation if people live in longer their community. It was suggested that sense of community and length of residency should be considered in rural community development policy.

Purpose: This study evaluates the ability to improve the economic welfare of rural communities in Indonesia by using the inequality measures of the distribution of information between leaders and their people as a variable that weakens the capacity of increasing the welfare. Research Design, Data, and Methodology: The research designed by developing an instrument using data validity and reliability testing. Before, primary data collected through interviews, questionnaires, observation, and documentation on the selected respondents. Then, the research method used is mixed methods research, in which quantitative and qualitative methods combined. Result: The finding from this study is that there is an inequality measure in the form of a high gap between the score of information distribution obtained by the village government compared to the score of the community, which has led to the welfare of the village which is still at a moderate level and not ready to become a prosperous society. Conclusion: The weakness of the village community is related to two things, namely the behavior and knowledge of the community about the issues, so the implication is that there must be a strong effort from the central government to ensure that technology is more evenly distributed to all villagers.

유류오염은 우리나라의 대표적인 토양 비점오염원으로 알려져 있으며, 이를 정화하는 토양의 능력은 토양 자원의 기능적 가치 평가에서 매우 유의하다. 특히 절/성토 설계 등의 친환경 건설기술 측면에서 토양의 유류오염정화능력을 평가하는 것은 중요하다. 그러나 마이크로코즘 실험을 포함한 기존의 토양 유류 오염정화능력 평가기법은 경제적, 시간적인 제약이 많아 광범위한 지역에 적용하기 어렵다. 이에 본 연구에서는 유류 오염물질 중 가솔린의 대표적 오염물질인 톨루엔을 선정하여 쉽고 간편하게 측정할 수 있는 토양의 미생물 다양성 지표를 이용, 토양의 유류오염 정화능력을 평가하는 기법을 제시하였다. 연구를 통해 미생물 군집의 다양성 지표 중 Shannon index가 토양의 정화능력 인자인 Specific Degradation Rate ($V_{max}$)와 상관성 관계가 있음을 보였고, 두 인자 간의 상관식을 도출할 수 있었다. 또한 본 상관식을 Michaelis-Menten kinetics에 적용하여 미생물 다양성 인자만으로 토양의 톨루엔 정화능력을 평가할 수 있는 기법을 제시하였다. 본 기법을 통해 간단히 토양의 톨루엔 정화능력을 평가할 수 있으며, 친환경 건설기술분야와 같은 다양한 공학적 분야에 광범위하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study examined the changes of water quality in relation to distribution of hydrophytes, and the purification capacity of Zizania latifolia to improve the effluent from Munpyeong stream from March 1997 to December 1999. While the concentration of nitrogen and phosphorous in water were increased during the farming season, those decreased, during the streaming down to paddy and drainage areas. In investigated sites, the Z. latifolia was dominant community according to the development of the natural wetlands. Furthermore, it formed a large community owing to its high adaptability to environmental changes in the agriculture lands. In September, the leaves productivity of the Z. latifolia were 4,032g D.W/$m^2$and roots were 7,680gD.W/$m^2$. The purification capacity of the Z. latifolia for NH$_3$-N, $No_3$-N, and PO$_4$-P were 13.41, 17.07, and 4.58 respectively during 5 days. The results suggested that it needs to establish wetlands vegetated by hydrophytes to improve the water quality of the effluent from agricultural lands.
