본 연구는 지역별 경제지표와 개인의 주관적 건강 및 체력상태 간의 관계를 분석하였다. 2022년 통계청 KOSIS 국가통계포털과 국민생활체육 조사 데이터를 사용하여, 지역내총생산(GRDP), 1인당 지역내총생산 (GRDP), 경제활동참가율, 경제성장률 등의 경제지표가 주관적 건강 및 체력 상태에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 1인당 GRDP가 중위 수 이상인 지역에서 주관적 건강 상태와 체력 상태를 긍정적으로 응답한 비율이 유의미하게 높았으며, 경제활동참가율과 경제성장률이 높은 지역 에서도 건강 및 체력 평가를 긍정적으로 응답한 비율이 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 특히 경제활동참가율이 주관적 건강 및 체력 평가에 미치는 영향이 가장 컸으며, 경제성장률 또한 주민들의 건강과 체력상태 인식에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 이러한 결과를 종합해보면, 지역 간 경제적 격차는 주민들의 건강불평등을 초래할 수 있으며, 장기 적으로 이를 해결하기 위한 정책 수립 및 적극적인 행정적 대응이 필요 함을 시사한다.

This study aims to investigate the effects of restrictions in economic activity on the spread of COVID-19 in the Philippines. This research employs daily time-series data of confirmed new COVID-19 cases, Apple mobility trends (i.e., use of public transport to destinations, volume of people driving, and amount of walking to destinations) and Google community mobility (i.e., visits to transit stations, visits to workplaces, and staying-at-home) indicators covering the period February 17 to September 11, 2020. The analysis starts by establishing the correlation pattern of new confirmed COVID-19 daily infections to each independent variable. The results show negative linear correlation of the number of new COVID-19 daily infections with less visit to transit station, increase stay-at-home, less use of public transport, and less amount of walking to destinations. Interestingly, the number of new COVID-19 daily infections indicates some form of positive linear correlation with visits to workplaces and volume of people driving. Moreover, employing robust least square regression via the method of MM-estimation, major findings reveal that across mobility measures, staying-at-home has the highest impact on reducing the spread of COVID-19, followed by visiting transit stations less, less use of public transport, less amount of walking, and less workplace visits.

This study has performed comparative analysis on benefit indicators in agricultural irrigation and drainage project cases between Korea and Japan. The irrigation and drainage project with publicity should do economic analysis of direct benefit factors as well as indirect benefit factors. However, traditional economic evaluations are used that benefit factors are lack of consistency and focused on direct benefits. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop indicators for the economic evaluation of irrigation and drainage projects. We conducted a case study between Korea and Japan. The resulting benefit factors was divided into direct factors and indirect factors. The direct benefit factors were increase in income, cost savings. The indirect benefit factors were protection of property due to flooding, agricultural promotion, aesthetic improvement. The implications of this study are that the indicators of economic analysis can be evaluated and easily applied. Moreover, these indicators could promote the feasibility of economic analysis.
