Background: This study reviewed the published evidence as to how prostate cancer outcomes vary across geographical remoteness and area level disadvantage. Materials and Methods: A review of the literature published from January 1998 to January 2014 was undertaken: Medline and CINAHL databases were searched in February to May 2014. The search terms included terms of 'Prostate cancer' and 'prostatic neoplasms' coupled with 'rural health', 'urban health', 'geographic inequalities', 'spatial', 'socioeconomic', 'disadvantage', 'health literacy' or 'health service accessibility'. Outcome specific terms were 'incidence', 'mortality', 'prevalence', 'survival', 'disease progression', 'PSA testing' or 'PSA screening', 'treatment', 'treatment complications' and 'recurrence'. A further search through internet search engines was conducted to identify any additional relevant published reports. Results: 91 papers were included in the review. While patterns were sometimes contrasting, the predominate patterns were for PSA testing to be more common in urban (5 studies out of 6) and affluent areas (2 of 2), higher prostate cancer incidence in urban (12 of 22) and affluent (18 of 20), greater risk of advanced stage prostate cancer in rural (7 of 11) and disadvantaged (8 of 9), higher survival in urban (8 of 13) and affluent (16 of 18), greater access or use of definitive treatment services in urban (6 of 9) and affluent (7 of 7), and higher prostate mortality in rural (10 of 20) and disadvantaged (8 of 16) areas. Conclusions: Future studies may need to utilise a mixed methods approach, in which the quantifiable attributes of the individuals living within areas are measured along with the characteristics of the areas themselves, but importantly include a qualitative examination of the lived experience of people within those areas. These studies should be conducted across a range of international countries using consistent measures and incorporate dialogue between clinicians, epidemiologists, policy advocates and disease control specialists.

This paper is concerned with analyzing the role of Northeast Asia intercity networks in Northeast Asia in creating regional networks. For the purpose of this paper, we have followed Choe's (1996) definition of Northeast Asia which includes the Russian Fat East, the Northeast region of China, South Korea, North Korea and Japan. The central hypothesis of the paper is that the geopolitical conditions of Northeast Asia compared for example with Southeast Asia, favor bilateral rather than multilateral linkages between nation states. In these circumstances, it is our hypothesis that cities will play an important role in developing a "local image" of regio-nalism and intercity networks. In order to analyze this hypothesis, the paper is divided into three parts. Part A analyzes the emerging urban system of the Northeast Asia region using Choe's concept of the BESETO corridor and updating his data from the late 1980s to the mid 1990s just prior to the financial crisis. This analysis is further supported by the analysis of economic and transportation linkages within the urban system of the region with some discussion of emerging urban nodes. Part B looks at the specific case studies of the region including the Bohai Sea region, the Japan Sea and case studies of Sapporo, the Japan Sea and case studies of Sapporo, Pusan and Shandong province cities. Part C summarizes this preceding analysis and that the development of regionalism and servicing urban nodes is move likely to emerge from a myriad of linkages developed between the region's cities than from a supra-regional role of nation states. This finding has important implications for regional policy formation suggesting that there should be considerate national support for international linkages between cities.en cities.

The present study examined whether enjoyable couple activity and common dyadic coping as daily positive couple interactions have direct or indirect effects on marital satisfaction through the mediation of sexual intimacy among urban Chinese women in the early years of marriage. The subjects were 182 urban women born under the one-child policy, who live in Heilongjiang, Anhui and Beijing provinces of China, and have been married up to six years. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. We conducted a hierarchical multiple regression analysis in SPSS software and tested the significance of the mediation effects using bootstrapping method in Mplus software. The results of the study are as follows. First, both enjoyable couple activity and common dyadic coping had positive direct impacts on urban Chinese women's marital satisfaction and positive indirect impacts on marital satisfaction via sexual intimacy. Second, enjoyable couple activity was the strongest predictor of marital satisfaction, followed by common dyadic coping and sexual intimacy. The path model explained 48% of the variance in marital satisfaction. The results suggest that enjoyable couple activity, common dyadic coping, and sexual intimacy should be considered in the design of interventions to enhance urban Chinese women's marital satisfaction in the early years of marriage.

Considering the fact that quality of life(QOL) conceptually has objective and subjective attributes but difficulties in measuring the subjective aspect cause a number of studies not to be balanced, this study exploits AHP(Analytical Hierarchy Process) which has been used for systematic decision making to include the other aspect. As the first step of the process decision making hierarchy model is set by content analysis of the UNDP QOL index and additional review of previous studies. 'Improving urban QOL' is a goal on top, 'Economical QOL', 'Environmental QOL', 'Social QOL' and 'Physical QOL' are dimensions of sub-goal(means objectives), and further decomposition follows. AHP shows that the dimensions of economical, physical, environmental and social QOL scored higher respectively. The aim of the model is to measure and prioritize the urban QOL in the two case study cities. The final score of the each city could be computed by integration of relative weights of dimensions for urban QOL. The final score of QOL for city A was 0.6642 and for city B the figure decreased to 0.3358. The method of this study could be used in stages of the process of urban planning. First stage is when planners try to have a correct and reliable perspective from the existed conditions of the city. Second stage is when the projects should be investigated to be confirmed for their efficiency. In other words planners can direct the scarce resources towards the aspects of QOL which are more important. And the results revealed that using AHP creates opportunity to involving the different groups in the stage of criteria weighting so that the attitudes of local community could be integrated well to the decision making to be suitable for a new paradigm of participatory and communicative planning.

The purpose of this study was to analyze examples of green infrastructure presented by the American Society of Landscape Architects as a part of basic research to assess hub green spaces in cities. With the specific goal of green infrasturcture in mind, the study samples were classified according to their purpose: 'humanities', 'hydrology', 'ecology', and 'environment'. Based on this we assessed the elements of planning for the target sites and obtained the following results. With regard to the aspect of humanities, planning urban hub green spaces was related to the satisfaction in leisure activities and the 'quality of life' that people expect to enjoy at parks or other green areas in general. Rather than focusing on direct and visible benefits, which might come from green infrastructure's technological elements, people hoped that parks and green areas have macroscopic values. For hydrological characteristics, the 'ecologically manages stormwater' was applied the most in planning hub green spaces in cities, and it mainly took the form of technological elements or factors. Third, the planning elements pertaining to ecological characteristics were identified as a combination of strategies and technological elements that 'reintroduces native plants' and 'habitat for wildlife'. As for the plans to instill eco-friendly aspects, the study found that the research on air, climate, weather, heat reaction, soil, energy efficiency, and use and application of resources is important. However, it was difficult to measure the potential quantitative benefits of 'reusing or recycling materials', 'reducing urban heat', and 'cooling air temperature'. The result of this study is meaningful in that it can be used for the assessment of urban hub green spaces in the future.

최근 기후변화의 영향으로 호우의 발생빈도가 증가하고 있으며, 도시지역의 호우는 돌발적이고 국지적인 특성을 가지고 있어 인명과 재산피해 역시 증가하고 있다. 도시지역에서의 국지성호우에 의한 홍수는 예고없이 빠르게 발생하고 시 공간적으로 빈번하게 발생함으로써 인명과 재산피해를 증가시킨다. 결국 도시지역의 성공적인 홍수 관리는 얼마나 빠르고, 세밀하게 관측할 수 있느냐가 관건이다. 국지성 호우는 저층에서 형성되는 강우가 지배적이며, 기존의 대형레이더는 저층 강우의 탐지 및 변동성 관측에 취약하다. 이에, 도시지역에서의 국지성 호우를 신속하게 관측하고 예측함으로써, 도시홍수 대응체계를 고도화하고 관측 및 예측 정확도를 향상시켜 도시홍수 피해를 최소화하기 위한 기존과 다른 새로운 도시홍수예보 관리시스템 구축이 필요하다. 현재 수재해 정보플랫폼 융합기술 연구단에서 고해상도 수문정보를 강우예측 및 홍수 모형과 연계하여 신개념 수재해 대응기술 확보를 목표로 추진 중에 있으며, 국지성 호우 관측을 위하여 고정밀 수문레이더를 기반으로 국지성 호우 탐지 및 예측, 도시홍수 예측 및 운영기술을 개발 중에 있다. 이 연구를 통해 도시지역에 대한 고정밀 관측이 가능함으로써 도시홍수 경보 시스템이 보다 정확하고 상세화될 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구는 중국의 192개 도시(地級 이상)를 대상으로 도시화경제를 추계한 후 도시화경제와 도시규모의 관계를 분석한다. 실증분석에는 1990년부터 2005년까지의 자료와 Carlino의 모형을 이용한다. 도시화경제의 추계에는 OLS 방법과 AR(1) 방법을 이용한다. 추계 결과에 의하면, 145개 도시의 h 값이 1보다 크게 나타났으며, 도시화경제가 존재하는 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 그리고 47개 도시의 h 값은 1보다 작게 나타났으며, 이들 도시는 도시화경제가 존재하지 않는 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 북경시(北京市), 천진시(天津市), 상해시(上海市), 중경시(重庆市) 4대 직할시의 도시화경제는 현저하게 나타나고 있으며, 15개 副省級市의 도시화경제도 비교적 높은 수준으로 나타나고 있다. 4대 지역별로 나누어 보면, 동부지역의 도시화경제 수준이 상대적으로 높게 나타나고 있으며, 그 다음은 중부지역과 서부지역 순서이고, 동북지역의 도시화경제는 상대적으로 낮은 수준을 나타내고 있다. 이러한 결과는 동북지역 전체의 장기적 경제침체와도 연관이 있다고 본다. 마지막으로 도시화경제와 도시규모와의 관계를 분석하기 위해, 본 연구는 도시인구규모와 도시화경제에 대한 역U자 검증을 하였다. 전체 도시의 검증 결과에 의하면, 역U자의 관계가 존재하는 것을 받아들이기는 힘들게 나타났다.
