Nowadays obesity has been become a serious social issue. Many researches are trying to find the root cause of obesity. Obesity causes various kinds of disease and safety accidents in work places. Thus, the main objective of this study is to analyze obesity index of citizens in Seoul which is a metropolis of Korea and a densely populated district. In order to analyze a detailed somatotype of citizens, age groups are divided into 30-34 years, 35-39 years, 40-49 years, and 50-59 years according to gender respectively. The result of this study can be applied to the comfortable and appropriate design for workers.

For the hotel industry, the situations having difficulties in management are becoming we planed by the rises of the cost and labor costs, the imbalance between supply and demand, stiffening competitions between the hotels. Therefore, there has been a plan for a great change to attract customers, escaping from the existing form of management in order to secure competitive powers in the food and beverage field. For that purpose, we plan to investigate into the preference of buffet restaurants in ten 5star hotels in Seoul. By the analysis, we also plan to present the menu concepts that stand out and are preferred by the customers in managing semi-buffet restaurants. Therefore, the linear and planar coordinate values of the H Hotels and I Hotels came out both positive(+) as results of a similarity analysis using MOS, we can predict that they would be positioning on the same dimension. Furthermore we can predict that the menu of antipasto, sushi, sashimi and desserts would be positioning on the same dimension as a result of analysis of the most preferred menu by customers for each station in managing a semi-buffet restaurant. Based on these results, there must be continuous supervision over the menu of buffet restaurants.

수도권과 경상 분지 동부일대의 98 개 지진자료에 확장 Coda 규격화법을 적용하여 QP-1과 QS-1을 구하였다. 중심 주파수 1.5 Hz에서 24 Hz로 증가할수록 수도권 일대의 QP-1은 (4.0±9.2)×10-3에서 (4.1±4.2)×10-4로 QS-1은 (5.5±5.6)×10-3에서 (3.4±1.3)×10-4로 감소한다. 경상분지 동부일대의 QP-1은 (5.4±8.8)×10-3에서 (3.7±3.4)×10-4로 QS-1은 (5.7±4.2)×10-3에서 (3.5±1.6)×10-4로 감소한다. 수도권 일대의 결과를 주파수의 지수형태로 나타내면 QP-1와 QS-1는 0.005f-0.89 와 0.004f-0.88이며, 경상분지 동부 일대에서는 0.007f-1.02와 0.006f-0.99로 각각 나타낼 수 있다. 이는 QS-1는 두 지역이 거의 유사하나 QP-1값이 경상 분지 동부 일대가 수도권 일대에 비해 상대적으로 약간 높음을 알 수 있다. 이는 아마도 경상분지 동부 지역의 지각이 지진학적으로 불균질성이 다소 더 크다고 추정된다. 그러나, 세 계의 여러 다른 지역의 값과 비교해 보면 수도권 일대와 경상 분지 동부 일대 지각은 모두 순상지의 범주에 해당하는 값을 나타낸다.

The human meta pneumovirus(hMPV) is a recently identified Paramyxovi rus associated with acute respiratory tract infect ions(ARIs) ranging from upper ARIs to severe bronchiolitis and pneumonia in humans. We studied the prevalence of this new virus in Seoul from 2005 to 2006 A total of 757 specimens were collected by nasopharyngeal swab from ARI patients and were tested fo1' the presence of hMPV by reverse transcription-PCR. Of these‘ 28 were detected the L gene of hMPV. The age range of the patients with hMPV infection was 1 months to 67 years with similar numbers of females (59 .3%) and males(40.7%) . The main symptoms were cough(100%) , fever (82 .1%) , nasal mucus(67.8%) ‘ vomit(25%) . diarrhoea( 21. 4%). and difficult breathing(21. 4%) and the main diagnosis we1'e pneumonia, bronchioli tis, nasoharyngiti ts, and rhmJtls Virus activity peaked in March and May. Phylogenetic analysis of the N gene confirmed the existence and si multaneous circulation within one epidemic season of hMPV isolates belonging to two genetic lineages.

The purpose of this study were to investigate middle and high school students' food habits and food attitudes, and to assess student's nutrient consumption. A self-administered questionnaire was developed based on review of literature. The questionnaire consisted of three sections (food habits, food attitudes, and food consumption). The questionnaires were distributed to 4,050 students enrolled in 34 middle and high schools located in Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Gyeongnam provinces. A final response rate was 88.2% (3,570) excluding responses that had significant missing data. Data of the food habits and food attitudes were analyzed with descriptive analysis, 2-test, and t-test using SPSS WIN(ver.11.0). The student's self-reported food consumption data was converted into nutrient consumption using conversion factor. Many middle and high school students skipped breakfast and/or dinner. Approximately 29% of the students did not eat vegetables and fruits. Scores of the middle school student's attitudes(19.1) towards foods were significantly higher than those of the high school student's attitudes(18.7)(p〈.001). Student's nutrient intakes were estimated according to the student's self-reported food consumption data. The nutrient intakes were compared with DRIs(Dietary Reference Intakes: DRIs) for their age groups. The result of EAR(Estimated Average Requirement: EAR) cut-point method demonstrated 57.7% of middle school boys, 64.4% of middle school girls, 70.2% of high school boys, and 71.0% of high school girls did not meet EAR for Calcium. Additionally, it showed that 39.0% of middle school boys, 23.7% of middle school girls, 58.4% of high school boys, and 24.4% of high school girls did not consume EAR for Vitamin B1. 25.7% of middle school boys did not meet EAR for Vitamin B2, while 44.4% high school boys did not satisfy EAR for Vitamin B2.

We have focused on the building appearance according to the change of conservation policy and urban fabric in Bukchon, Seoul. The Urban Hanok, urban traditional housing type, had been evolved in modern contort from 1920's to 1960's, that is to say, many buildings(Urban Hanok) in Bukchon area has built up with a lot and road at the same time. But the change of conservation policy has an effect on the urban fabric and building(wooden structure, RC and brick building). Thus many types of building in Bukchon has undergone a various change. The purpose of this paper is to define a change factor of Bukchon buildings. Thus we need to pay attention to policy and urban fabric. We reached the result as follows. First, the change of architecture regulations according to the several policies(an aesthetic area, an altitude area for sky line restriction and so on) brought into building deformation and eventually the historic scenery of Bukchon has been spoiled. Second, the change of policy had an effect on the change of roads and lots. Buildings on a widen road and a united lot was built newly. But new buildings built up with a concrete or brick structure was not in harmony with the historic scenery of Bukchon area. Third, a development method of a large lot with lack prudence(disregarded a scale and size of lot) did damage to Urban hanok and urban fabric. With the understanding on the relationship of buildings, a urban fabric and a policy in Bukchon, we can define the identity and correspond with the urgent request for a the conservation of historic urban scenery In addition we can suggest the policy and the design guidelines for the reservation and rehabilitation for Bukchon, Seoul.

This study was designed to : (a) analyze the menus of the French restaurant in tourism hotel using the menu analysis techniques of Kasavana & Smith and Pavesic, (b) compare the characteristics of the two analysis techniques. The calculations for the menu analysis were done using the MS 2000 Excel spreadsheet program. The menu mix % and unit contribution margin were used as variables by Kasavana & Smith and weighted contribution margins (WCM) and potential food cost % (PFC%) by Pavesic. In two cases, a four-cell matrix was created and menu items were located in each according they achieved high or low scores with respect to two variables. The items that scored favorably on both variables were rated in the top category (e.g., star, prime) and those that scored below average on both were rated in the lowest category (e.g., dog, problem). While Kasavana & Smith's method focused on customer's viewpoints, Pavesic's method considered the manager's viewpoints. Therefore, it is more likely to be desirable for decision-making on menus if the menu analysis techniques chosen is suited to its purpose.
