본 연구에서는 이용자 만족도를 고려하여 고속도로의 노면상태를 종합적으로 평가하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 기존의 연구에서는 통계적 방법을 통해 정량적인 요인과 정성적인 요인들과의 상관분석 등이 주가 되었는데 반해, 본 연구에서는 기존의 정량적인 요소에 운전자의 만족도인 정성적인 data를 포함하여 종합적으로 노면상태 평가를 진행하였다. 이 때 평가 방법은 통합 평가가 가능한 Grey System Theory를 활용하여 종합적인 평가를 실시하였다. 분석된 결과는 대상도로의 각 구간에 대한 현재의 상태를 진단하고, 추후 변화될 상태에 대한 예측이 가능하다. 또한 분석된 결과를 다양한 방법을 통해 고속도로의 유지 관리에 활용할 수 있을 것이다. 다양한 요소들을 종합적으로 평가함으로써 관측된 data값들의 영향력을 분석할 수 있으며, 이를 활용하여 도로를 관리하고 유지하는 판단에 대한 결정지원에 보조적인 수단으로 활용할 수 있을 것이다. 아울러 사전 사후 모니터링 수단 활용으로 유지관리 체계 개선에 도움이 될 것으로 기대한다.

Information and Communication Technology is now widely accepted by developing countries as a development tool in their efforts to alleviate poverty, enhance human development, and achieve Millennium Development Goals. Recognizing this untapped potential and development strategies incorporating ICT are being increasingly promoted and launched across the developing countries requiring a comprehensive ICT policy that plays a crucial rule, in particular, in the area of agriculture and rural development. While the potential advantages of ICT for development are enormous in developed countries, national policies of developing countries are yet to adequately reflect truly comprehensive and integrated strategies for harnessing and exploiting this potential. This paper tries to provide implication of ICT policy to the agriculture and rural development in developing countries, in particular through lessons learned from European Union (EU) IT policy. Through the examination of vital projects in the agriculture and rural development sectors and case study analysis of applied policies and strategies implemented in the European Union, this paper provides tangible examples and lessons for policy-makers and practitioners involved in the field. Hence, this study provides policy-makers the necessary tools, information and knowledge to facilitate the formulation and adoption of ICT policies and strategies in the agriculture and rural development sector.

The natural environment of the modern society does not simply reflect damage, but is a complex and grave reality that threatens the Earth. To solve this problem, various aspects related to the natural environment have been explored around the world, and a number of studies are ongoing to balance the development and preservation of the natural environment in Korea. However, no clear category exists for the natural environment and the related terms are ambiguous, rendering the overall evaluation system is in efficient. Therefore, the present study attempted to set the scope of application of a comprehensive evaluation system based on terms similar to the natural environment, concepts of the natural environment viewed from a value-based perspective and a capacitive perspective. In addition, by examining the concept of ecosystem services, a conceptual model for efficient application of the evaluation system of the natural environment through the association between categories of the natural environment is presented to derive implications for practical operation in the future.

Modernization is an important stage in the process of human civilization. It is believed that Industrial Revolution of 18th century occurred in UK represents the starting point of modernization. This process occurs not only in the social changes of developed countries but also in the process taken by developing countries to catch up with the advanced countries after the Second World War. Developing China's modern industrial system typified by “Made in China 2025” is in line with world’s common practice and Chinese government’s aspiration of enhancing well-beings of its people. The study of modernization goes through a theoretical development process from classical modernization to the second modernization. China's modern industrial system policy making complements and improves the classical modernization process. It is also a strategy aimed at keeping up with and leading the second modernization process. From the perspective of theoretical application, China's modern industrial system is a compound mode of industrial modernization. Based on the review of modernization theory, this paper studies the policy evolution of China's modern industrial system and comprehensively evaluates its policies. In the policy evolution part, China’s different industrial policies in the stages of planned economy and market economy are distinguished, based on an explanation to the concept description of China's "modern industrial system" proposed by the 19th National Congress of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the meaning of various policy elements. The comprehensive evaluation of China's modern industrial system includes characteristic evaluation, effect evaluation and spillover evaluation. This research aims at helping other countries to gain a better understanding of China's modern industrial system.

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is an important policy implemented before starting development projects to estimate and reduce environmental impact. However, the difficulty of quantification on several rating categories has hampered comprehensive analysis. Instead of it, the current EIA just summarizes outcome of investigation. Therefore, EIA fails to definitively ascertain whether the development shold be approved or not. This study aimed at providing the way to comprehensive decision-making by applying Emergy analysis and Emergy indicators to EIA. Production (P), Emergy Yield Ratio (EYR), Environmental Loading Ratio (ELR) and Emergy Sustainability Index (ESI) were selected for indicators. The indicators of range approving the development were set up with comparing before and after development or according to circumstances of which view of average that was classified as region or industry is appropriate to analysis. As a result, the value after development of P should be higher than the value before development. EYR and ESI of the value before development should be higher than region or industry average. On the contrary to these, ELR of the value after development should be lower than region or industry average. To verify applying Emergy indicators to EIA comprehensive analysis, Emergy evaluation was conducted to real case. As a result, applying Emergy analysis could suggest whether the development is appropriate or not. These indices and the result of this research are expected to be applied decision-making on environmental impact for sustainable development.

As an important aspect of vulnerability ,economic vulnerability is a research hot issue in vulnerability and Tourism sustainability research field.

Using obstacle degree analyze the main obstacle factors of cities in the paper . The evaluation result is that the Yellow River delta efficient ecological economic zone has a vulnerable tourism economic system, which is almost in line with the actual situation.

The purpose of this study is to construct a quantitative evaluation method that can analyze the policy effectiveness with the construction of a implicit composite index incorporating spatial econometrics models. In order to propose a methodological framework for the program evaluation, this study conducts an empirical analysis with the application of the Comprehensive Rural Village Development Project (CRVDP) which explicitly claims to achieve comprehensive goal of community development. The present study pays particular attention to quantifying the composite evaluation index and drawing net effect through the application of a series of spatial econometrics models. The spatial unit of the analysis is drawn at Eup-Myeon level in rural areas in Korea, and the time horizon is in between 2005 and 2010. We utilize the Korean Agricultural Census data in 2005 and 2010. Three steps of methodological processes are needed to satisfy the objective of the present study. First, we apply factor analysis to construct the composite index that represents comprehensive settlement environment in rural area. The index should be matched with the main objective of the CRVDP. Second, we apply the derived index to a series of spatial econometrics model as dependent variable. Lastly, utilizing the estimated coefficients of the econometrics models, we apply decomposition technique to estimate CRVDP’s net effect from both cross-sectional and longitudinal perspectives. We find that the results of the decomposition analysis by the execution of the CRVDP are positively associated with the explicit object of the project.

In this study, the relative importance for the perception of managers on the comprehensive rural village development projects was evaluated using the AHP method. The fields for evaluation were 4 fields including human relationships, working conditions, work compensation and work burnout. Also, the relative importance for the perception of managers and priority order were analyzed through 15 evaluation items. The analysis result shows that the human relationships among 4 fields were regarded as the most important field, followed by work compensation, working conditions and work burnout. Also, the relationship with the chairperson for the human relationships, continuity of employment for the working conditions, salary for work compensation, and mental stress for work burnout were considered respectively as the most important item. Also, salary among all evaluation items was considered as the most important item for the relative importance, followed by continuity of employment, relationship with village residents and mental stress. However, work load, consulting firms, impersonal treatment and the relations between the administration showed relatively low importance and priority order. It is considered that this analysis result will be used as important preliminary data for establishing the role of manager in the comprehensive rural village development project.
