Many countries of the world is driving forward development of large-scale hub port. They are now pushing ahead with setting up of effective marketing strategies to survive in keen competitions of the 21st century port industry. The port is of ever increasing importance for the bridge connecting sea and road transportation in handling international cargoes. The port, differently from general working places, is a closed area required for security, customs, and quarantine procedures. The loading and unloading is being done differently by ports, cargoes, and ships. To do loading and unloading, a lot of equipment and different types of labor are required, which flow is complicated and safe management is essential. As above mentioned the port is very unique and very deteriorated working place in its working environment. The purpose of this study is to propose ways to reduce and prevent from port accidents. As first step to do this, we have collected 923 accidents happened at Incheon Port during the period of 1994 to 2003. We have thoroughly analyzed characteristics, harmfulness, and risk of the loading/unloading they have done, as well as the accident frequency and relationship between the accidents. As second step to further analyze, We have employed DMAIC technology, an advanced process of 6 sigma presently in spotlight as the best program for management innovation. This analysis results in recognition of important accident characteristics, causes and effects analysis, critical causes of accident, and suggestions to decrease accidents.

Simultaneous observations of MODIS (Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) onboard the Aqua and Terra satellites and weather station at ground near the Inchon International Airport (37.2-37.7 N, 125.7-127.2 E) during the period from December 2002 to September 2004 have been utilized in order to analyze the characteristics of satellite-observed infrared (IR) and visible data under fog and clear-sky conditions, respectively. The differences (T3.7-11) in brightness temperature between 3.75μm and 11.0μm were used as threshold values for remote-sensing fog (or low clouds) from satellite during day and night. The T3.7-11 value during daytime was greater by about 21 K when it was foggy than that when it was clear, but during nighttime fog it was less by 1.5 K than during nighttime clear-sky. The value was changed due to different values of emission of fog particles at the wavelength. Since the near-IR channel at 3.7μm was affected by solar and IR radiations in the daytime, both IR and visible channels (or reflectance) have been used to detect fog. The reflectance during fog was higher by 0.05-0.6 than that during clear-sky, and varied seasonally. In this study, the threshold values included uncertainties when clouds existed above a layer of fog.

The purpose of this study was to develop menu planning in the elementary food service system. This survey conducted in 10 elementary schools located in Inchon area. Among 300 questionnaires, 258 responses were collected and were analyzed by SAS program. Household income levels, food habits and preference of menu were investigated using frequency and percentiles with chi-square test. The result showed that mostly people belonged to lower middle income classes. As for preference of school food service menu, elementary students chose correction of unbalanced diet and good nutrition, while mothers of them ranked correction of unbalanced diet and convenience of preparing food. Regardness of mothers for menu preference of the elementary school students came to an agreement overall.

This study was performed to investigate the recognition on preprocessed foods among dietitians employed in 106 elementary school foodservices in Inchon by questionnaire from December 11th to 28th in 1999. Number of cooks in school foodservices increased significantly(p〈0.01) with the number of children to feed, and 8 or 9 cooks were the most typical number(36.79%). Most(93.4%) of the subjects understood that it is necessary to use the preprocessed foods and they considered the food hygiene as the most important factor. Many subjects(89.62%) responded that the lack of cooks and cooking equipment was partly solved by using preprocessed foods and the expected reductions in personnel and waste through using preprocessed foods were 15~20% (38.68% of the subjects) and 20-30% (41.51% of the subjects), respectively.

To compare actual obesity rate and self-evaluated body shape, 651 women living in Inchon were participated in the measurement of anthropometric indices and in the survey by questionnaire. Mean RBW and BMI were in normal range except the girl in 13-15 years. RBW and BMI of the women in 40s and 50s were significantly higher than those in women in younger ages(p<0.001). Triceps skinfold thickness of the subjects were not significantly different. Significantly low DRBW in teenagers and women in 20s showed that their desire to reduce body weight were very strong. Over the half of the subjects thought they were too heavy and unsatisfied at their body shapes. The parts of the body desired to remove extra fat were the waist & abdomen in women over 30s and the thigh & legs in teenagers. It is thought that women, especially in 10s and 20s need the education about the appropriate evaluation of body shape and also need the nutrition education about the deteriorated influence of underweight on health.

The domestic ports become less competitive for the out of dated equipments and inefficient information system. Specially, Inchon Port, which is the second largest port of Korea, has the point at issue such as the excessive logistics cost because of the limit of handling capacity and the chronic demurrage. In this paper to develope the simulation programs the basic input parameters such as arrival intervals, cargo tons, service rates are analyzed and the probability density functions for there variable are estimated. Also to perform the conception of continuous berth utilization, the berth and cargo classification is reconstructed. And the more actual simulation is realized by using more detailed depth representation of water The simulation model is executed based on the knowledge base and database, and is constructed using Visual Basic and Access database. Simulation results reveal that this study suitably reflect the real berth operation and waiting time of ships is shortened.

Inchon Port is the second largest import-export port of Korea, and has the point at issue such as the excessive logistics cost because of the limits of handling capacity and the chronic demurrage. The purpose of this paper is to develop the simulation program as a long-term strategic support tool, considering the dual dock system and the TOC(Terminal Operation Company) system executed since March, 1997 in Inchon Port. The basic input parameters such as arrival intervals, cargo tons, service rates are analyzed and the probability density functions for these parameters are estimated. From the simulation model, it is possible to estimate the demurrage status through analyzing various scenarios and to establish the long-term port strategic plan.

Port Simulation 문제는 항만의 운영실태를 분석하는데 있어서 크게 두 가지 측면에서 연구되어 왔다. 하나는 항만의 운영효율을 분석하기 위한 연구이고, 다른 하나는 항만과 인근 도시간의 물류시스템과 관련된 연구로 분류할 수 있다. 인천항은 ‘96년도 체선율이 32.3%로 국내 다른 항만과 비교해 보면 가장 심각한 체선실태를 보이고 있으며 이에 따른 물류비용을 포함한 추가비용의 손실이 크다. 따라서 기존의 연구에서 인천항의 체선현황을 분석하고 개선방안을 제시하는 Simulation Model이 연구되었고, 이를 이용한 의사결정지원시스템을 개발해서 활용방안을 모색중이다. 그러나, 이들 연구에서는 아직 실제 운영하고 있는 연속관리부분에 대해서는 고려하지 않았다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기존의 연구를 검토하고 특히 선박의 대기시간을 줄이고 선석의 활용도를 높일 수 있는 연속관리 부분을 집중 연구 이를 시스템에 반영하였다. 향후 연속적인 선석접안을 적용하여 얻은 결과를 기존의 Port Simulation 이나 선석운영 의사결정 지원시스템 개발에 활용하려 한다.

선석배정문제는 항만운영 및 관리의 첫단계이며, 각 항만의 지리적, 자연적 특성에 따라 매우 독특하면서 복잡한 성향을 띠고 있다. 특히, 인천항은 그 지리적 특성상 갑문이라는 특수한 시스템과 많은 종류의 화물을 취급하기 때문에 만성적인 체선·체화 현상을 보이고 있으며 많은 물류비의 상승 등 경쟁력을 상실하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 인천항의 갑문이용과 선석의 배정문제에 있어서 실제 인천항을 운영하는 전문가 집단의 지식을 규칙화하고, 실제자료를 토대로 갑문의 영향을 분석하여 보다 효율적으로 운영할 수 있는 시스템과 예기치 못한 상황에 대한 대처를 원활히 할 수 있는 선석운영 의사결정지원시스템을 구축하였다. 특히 본 연구에서는 기존 연구에서 고려하지 못한 갑문을 중심으로 교차제한사항과 선석운영의 효율을 높일 수 있는 이안을 예상한 입항선박을 고려하였으며, 더 나아가 사용자로 하여금 쉽고 빠르게 선석을 운용할 수 있도록 개선된 그래픽 사용자 인터페이스(Graphic user Interface)를 갖는 대화식 접근법(User interactive approach)체제의 실시간 선석운영 의사결정지원시스템을 개발하였다.

We have been suffered from a large-scaled accidents in construction fields so far, despite a fact that more effort has been made for accident decrease. But the most important factor not to prevent those from the site is that past management technique has not been based on its related site, up to now. Three projects have been selected for comparing the previous condition with the one which this proposed technique has been applicated for. Also, individual interview with 113 workers has been done simultaneously.

The health, anthropometry, food habits, food intake frequency and nutrition intake of 747(219 men and 528 women) elderly people living in Inchon were investigated. Mean BMI, WHR, triceps skinfold thickness, BIA, blood pressure of the subjects were 23.4, 1.0, 15.6mm, 28.6%, 137.5/78.8mmHg in men and 24.9, 0.87, 22.6mm, 36.2%, 130.8/73.8mmHg in women respectively. Over the half of the subjects perceived themselves unhealthy and 86.2% of the elderly suffered from one or more illness. Ratios of the smoking and the drinking elderly were 40%, 43% in men and 12%, 11% in women. The major reason to stop smoking or drinking was the concern about their health. Food habit score of the subjects was relatively high (14.45/18.0) but food intake frequency score were relatively low (21.18/33.0) except the food groups of cereal & grain, white vegetable and sweets. The foods consumed by the elderly were very limited in quality and also in quantity. The daily intakes of calorie, protein, iron, vit. B1, niacin and vit. C were less than 2/3 of RDA and the amounts of calcium, vit. A and vit. B2 consumption were less than 1/2 of RDA.

The status of general food service administration and nutrition education was investigated in 111 elementary schools located in Inchon Metropolitan Area by questionnaires. The results are as follows ; 1. Most schools served 5 lunches per week. Meal cost per capita was 1212.1 won in urban type school and 979.0 won in rural type school. Most schools(91.9%) had 1 regular dietitian and 1 regular cook. With increasing number of students the number of temporary employees increased significantly. Most school dietitians(86.5%) were in their twenties and had 2 year careers. 2. Most dietitians(90.1%) planned the menu based on the RDA with the first consideration in nutritional needs of the students. Many dietitians(81.8%) surveyed on the food preferences of the students at least once a year. About 86% of the schools had the food service committee which was helpful. Dietitians were the first one in charge of food purchasing and checking, and sometimes a manager in general school affairs worked together. One third of the schools used the volunteer parents in food services. 3. Most school dietitians(97.2%) gave the students nutrition education using handouts once a week. However, they could not teach the students through the classroom lecture because they are not the regular teachers. Food garbages were removed by the professional trash collecting company or by using fermentation machines or by giving them to animals as feeds. School events concerning the food and nutrition were mostly drawing pictures and composition. Only 36.4% of the school dietitians had experienced in nutrition counseling for an individual student. Most of them(99.1%) thought that individual counseling is necessary if they have enough time and chances to do.

Perception and knowledge on the diet among 651 women living in Inchon were surveyed by questionnaires in March through May, 1998. Respondents consisted of middle school girls(12.3%), high school girls(16.4%), and women in twenties(16.4%), thirties(18.9%), forties(15.7%) and fifties and over(20.3%). Ratio of high school graduates was the highest(37.0%) among respondents, and there was a tendency of less education with ages. Seventy-six percent of women practised the diet for the self-satisfaction of a nice figure, 20% for healing diseases, and 3.4% for attracting boy friends' or husbands' attention. The purpose of the diet was significantly different with ages(p<0.01). The diet methods which the respondents perceived effective and wanted to practise were exercise and food therapy. Average score of the knowledge on the diet was 8.27 out of 10, and significantly different with ages and education(p<0.05). Twenties showed the highest score and high school girls, thirties, middle school girls, forties and fifties and over were followed in decreasing order. Also the score was in decreasing order of graduates of college, high, elementary and middle school.

본 연구는 인천광역시 강화도 지역의 산지형 도시녹지를 대상으로 식생구조 분석을 통한 관리방향 제시를 목적으로 하였다. 총면적 11,331ha에 대한 현존식생 분석 결과 식물군집은 19개 유형으로 분리할 수 있었는데 이중 상수리나무군집, 소나무-상수리나무군집, 신갈나무군집 등 2차림이 전체의 92.32%(10,461ha)를 차지하고 있었다. 아까시나무림 등 인공식재림은 전체의 5.40%(612ha)로서 수도권지역 다른 도시들 보다 적은 면적을 나타내었다. 총 57개 조사구에 대한 TWINSPAN에 의한 classification분석 결과 총 7개 군집으로 분리되었는데 그것은 리기다소나무(군집 A), 상수리나무(군집 B), 소나무-상수리나무(군집 C), 상수리나무-소나무 (군집 D), 소나무-서어나무-졸참나무-상수리나무(군집 E), 졸참나무-신갈나무(군집 F), 느티나무-고로쇠나무 (군집 G)이었다. 강화도 지역은 온대 중부지방에서의 일반적인 천이진행단계인 소나무림에서 상수리나무림을 거쳐 신갈나무림, 졸참나무림, 서어나무림으로 생태적 천이가 진행중인 것으로 파악되었다. 토양 pH는 평균 4.17의 강산성 토양으로서 토양환경 개선을 위한 연구가 산림식생 관리계획에서 중요한 것으로 나타났다.

Consumption and general views of housewives in Inchon on commercial kochujang(fermented red pepper-soy paste) were surveyed by questionnaires in June through August, 1997. Respondents considered the taste (88.1%) as the most important factors to determine the quality of kochujang and preferred hot(621%) and bright red colored kochujang(70.6%) with fine red pepper powder Eighty seven percent of respondents preferred the traditional kochujang to the commercial one mainly due to the taste and the reliability to the materials kochujang. Especially all housewives at the age of sixty and over preferred traditional kochujang and those at twenties had a higher preferrence for the commercial one compared to other age groups. While 51.4% of the respondents consumed both e traditional and commercial kochujang, 16.2% and 32.5% did only commercial and traditional kochujang, respectively. Consumption of commercial kochujang decreased with age and main food with it was pan fried dishes(33.7%). Convenience(76.6%) was the major reason for purchasing commercial fried and most respondents(44.1%) selected the special brand from the previous experience of their own. Problems to be improved in commercial kochujang were better taste(31.3%) and development of diverse usage(62.4%).

Consumption of edible oil at food service institutions in Inchon was surveyed to provide basic data for continuous education of dietitians. Manufacturing industry was the major food service institution(78.8%) in Inchon followed by schools, hospitals and social welfare service centers. Most dietitians were at the age of twenties and college graduates with professional careers of 1-5 years. Oil was purchased on the basis of its quality within 1-3% of total food costs four times a month. Proper frying temperature was determined by dropping salt or food coating materials into the oil. Soybean oil was the most frequently used and commercial frying mix powder and flour and eggs in water were the most common food coating materials. Fish and commercial frozen foods were the most frequently used materials for frying. Fried foods were stored with covers in a basket and consumed within 30 minutes after cooking. Frying oils were used one more time after filtering and color was the index for determination of re-use.
