This paper examines the applicability of formal safety assessment to the passenger ships. This is followed by an analysis of passenger ship characteristics and a proposed formal safety assessment methodology. Five interlocking steps are described to construct a safety model including novel risk assessment, cost-benefit analysis and decision-making approaches. A case study is carried out in order to demonstrate the proposed methodology. Further development in formal safety assessment in the context of passenger ship safety is finally discussed in detail.

해상에서 유출된 기름은 방제를 잘 하였더라도 일부는 해안으로 밀려가 해안을 오염시키게 된다. 해양경찰청의 국가방제기 본게획에 의하면 연안이용 빈도가 높은 우리나라의 해안방제에 있어 지방자치 단체장은 주무기관 역할을 하도록 되어 있으며, 해안방 제시 방제종료기준에 있어서는 보다 세밀하고 구체적인 의사결정체계를 구축할 필요가 있다. 방제종료기준 관련 의사결정체계는 크게 방제종료기준 설정단계, 방제종료 판단단계 등 두 가지 단계로 이원화할 필요가 있다. 방제종료기준 설정단계는 주로 사고지역별 해당 지자체(해안을 이용 관리 보전하는 관리청)가 최고의사결정기구의 중심 역할을 할 필요가 있으며, 방제종료 판단단계에서는 방제대책 본부 및 지자체의 최고의사결정기구가 합동으로 중심 역할을 할 필요가 있다. 이와 같이 의사결정협의회를 구성하여 해안방제종료 결 정에 대한 기준을 우리나라 실정에 적합하도록 의사결정체계를 제시하고자 한다.

대체연료 충전을 위한 기반시설의 효율적 설계 및 개발은 신에너지 경제의 촉진을 위해 필요하다. 본 논문은 GIS와 입지모델을 결합하여 공간의사결정지원 시스템(SDSS)의 원형을 개발하였다. 사용된 입지 모델은 일회 주유에 따른 주행거리가 제한적인 대체연료 차량을 대상으로 최대의 충전 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 지점에 충전소를 입지하며, 이때 운전자는 주유를 위해 기-종점 간의 최적경로에서 벗어나 우회할 수도 있다고 가정한다. 개발된 SDSS는 확장가능할 뿐 아니라 의사결정자가 다양한 수요 시나리오를 탐색할 수 있다. 이를 통해 대체연료차 운전자의 우회 행태, 시장 수요의 공간적 분포, 주행거리, 기존 시설물에 관한 상이한 가설을 세우고 그 결과를 실험할 수 있다. 주어진 조건을 만족하는 최선의 충전소 위치에 관한 결과는 지도 및 통계와 같은 다양한 산출물로 보고된다.

Although it is a partial review, this paper is intended to contribute to the studies of Korean speech communities using the theoretical model of the ethnography of communication.

Rural tourism is primarily a domestic tourism activity with visitors traveling to non-urban areas. The development of local and regionally denominate food is a way to distinguish agricultural production and to promote rural tourism. Therefore, this study addressed how utilizing regional agricultural products results in increasing the intention of tourists to revisit an area. The purposes of this study were 1) to identify the image and motives for visiting Yesan, 2) to determine the importance of purchasing intention and the regional menu produced from local agricultural/special products, and 3) to identify the impact of purchasing local agricultural/special products and regional menus on the intention to revisit. A total of 202 usable questionnaires were collected at Ducksan Hotsprings and Suduck Temple in Yean area, which are known tourist attractions. The major findings obtained were as follows: First, Yesan was considered a relaxing place (3.46±1.09), which was the highest ranked image score for a tourist attraction. Second, the highest ranked motive for visiting Yesan was to rest (3.77±1.18). According to these findings, Yesan is a relaxing place, as it is a rural area with no known defined attractions. Third, most tourists (78.7%) recognized the apple as a local agricultural/special product. The intentions to purchase local agricultural/special products and the need for regional dishes in the local restaurant was higher than average. Tourists showed interests (3.88±1.16) in eating regional dishes made with local agricultural/special products at the restaurants. Fourth, a significant impact of purchasing local agricultural/special products and the regional menu was observed on the intention to revisit (p〈0.000). The results indicate that it is very important to develop proper regional menus that concur with images of the location and the regional farming products.

An Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) installed in a nuclear power plant is the primary power source, supplying AC power to Class 1E power systems when the main turbine generator and offsite power source are not available. Thus, reliability of the EGD is essential for plant safety and availability. In this paper, the EDG is selected for a Long Term Asset Management (LTAM) strategy and the results are summarized briefly. The LTAM strategy is intended to provide an effective long-term planning tool for minimizing unplanned capability loss and then optimizing maintenance programs and capital investments consistent with plant safety and an identified plant operating strategy. Such an operating strategy might include license renewal or retaining the option for license renewal.

Information is known to be a key element for the successful operation of a supply chain, which is required of the efficient ordering strategies and accurate predictions of demands. This study proposes a method to effectively utilize the meteorological forecast information in order to make decisions about ordering and prediction of demands by using the Taguchi experimental design. It is supposed that each echelon in a supply chain determines the order quantity with the prediction of precipitation in the next day based on probability forecast information. The precipitation event is predicted when the probability of the precipitation exceeds a chosen threshold. Accordingly, the choice of the threshold affect the performances of a supply chain. The Taguchi method is adopted to deduce a set of thresholds for echelons which is least sensitive to changes in environmental conditions, such as variability of demand distributions and production periods. A simulation of the beer distribution game was conducted to show that the set of thresholds found by the Taguchi method can reduce the cumulative chain cost, which consists of inventory and backlog costs.

The purpose of this study was to identify the determinants of decision-making confidence of clothing. As determinants, this study examined consumer susceptibility to interpersonal influence, vanity, and clothing knowledge. Data were collected through surveying university students in Seoul metropolitan area using convenience sampling method. Out of 324 distributed, 300 useful questionnaires were returned. The results showed that identical conformity among consumer susceptibility to interpersonal influence factors significantly influences, both directly and indirectly, decision making confidence through vanity. Although normative conformity does not influence decision-making confidence directly, it does significantly influence decision-making confidence indirectly through influencing vanity and clothing knowledge. The results suggest clothing is a manifestation tool for managing public self, which finally leads to increased clothing knowledge and decision-making confidence of clothing. These findings may be used by marketers in developing strategies for product development and promotion.

A major purpose of management or occupational safety is a significant decrease in safety accidents. With this view, the establishment of occupational safety culture and the building of occupational communication network stand out as being more important than the past. This study has analysed the positive effects of occupational safety communication on safety consciousness and action of the employees in workplace. And it is confirmed that the occupational safety communication in workplace is the essential mechanism, through which the workers internalize safety consciousness and act safely. The safety consciousness and action of the employees are formed in safety culture, which is not only legal regulations, but a daily communication network in workplace. In these sense, the building of the occupational safety communication network is decisive for the establishment of safety culture. For these reasons, this study makes the proposition that a firm promotion of occupational communication network is necessary, which connects the safety culture and a effective safety management in workplace.

This paper analyzes the difference between theoretical cost of quality and real world cost. Examined are the theoretical cost structure of quality, it's measurement styles, a process based improvement strategy of quality cost, and possible adaptation of decision making concepts in enhancing the cost structure. This study will contribute to the literature in delineating an improvement process of quality cost by adjusting service policy.

개개인들의 유전적인 성향에 따라 금융투자 포트폴리오 양상은 다르게 나타나고 있다. 하지만 금융투자와 관련된 그동안의 연구결과에서는 이러한 연구가 거의 없는 상황이다. 기존 연구 중에서 개개인들의 유전적인 특성(trait)이 금융투자에 어떠한 영향을 주는가와 관련하여 스웨덴의 경우 유전적인 특성에 따라 투자패턴이 25% 정도 상이하였음을 나타내어 주고 있다.

본 연구에서는 기존의 전형성에서 긍정/부정이라는 정서적 방향성이 분명하게 이탈된 디자인을 활용한 제품에 대한 선호도와 구매의사에 성격이 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 알아보았다. 기존의 긍정적 전형성에서 부정적으로 이탈된 디자인 제품과 기존의 부정적 전형성에서 긍정적으로 이탈된 디자인 제품에 대한 참가자들의 선호도와 구매의사가 측정되었으며 여기에 미치는 개인 특성으로 외향성, 신경증, 심미적 성향이 측정되었다. 연구 결과, 참가자들은 부정적으로 이탈된 디자인 제품보다 긍정적으로 이탈된 디자인 제품을 훨씬 더 선호하였고 구매의사도 더 높았다. 부정적으로 이탈된 디자인 제품의 선호도에는 신경증이 유의미한 영향을 미쳐 신경증이 높을수록 부정이탈 디자인 제품을 더 선호하였다. 또한 부정이탈 디자인 제품의 구매의사에 대해서는 선호도와 외향성의 상호작용 효과가 나타났는데, 즉 내향적인 사람일수록 높은 선호도가 실제 구매의사로 이어질 가능성이 유의미하게 높았다. 반면 긍정이탈 디자인 제품에 대해서는 성격의 효과가 전혀 나타나지 않았다. 본 연구의 결과는 부정적인 정서를 유발하는 전형성 이탈 디자인 제품에 있어서는 개인의 성격적 특성이 선호도 및 구매의사에 중요한 역할을 함을 보여준다.
