Optimal Project Planning for Public Rental Housing in South Korea

Although Korea has made notable progress in the availability of public rental housing, Korea’s public rental housing representing 6.3% of the country’s total housing is still below the 8% OECD average from 2016. The Seoul Metropolitan Area (composed of Seoul City, Incheon City, and Gyeonggi Province) has nearly 50% of the country’s population, but 11% of the nation’s territory, meaning the area suffers from an acute shortage of public rental housing. This is a serious problem which is hampering the sustainability of Korean society in general. We will examine the possibility of improving this public housing problem using certain algorithms to optimize decision making and resource allocation. This study reviews two pioneering studies on optimal investment portfolio for land development projects and optimal project combination for urban regeneration projects, and then optimizes a public housing investment combination to maximize the amount of public rental houses in Gyeonggi province using optimization techniques. Through the optimal investment combination, public rental houses were found to be more efficiently and sustainably planned for the community.

시내버스의 효율적 배차 시스템 구축을 위한 O-D데이터 기반 확률적 수요예측

Although public bus systems in Korea have performed as one of the most important public transportation for the citizens, lack of bus routing models, which consider demands and route conditions, has caused reduce of both publicness and efficiency hereby wasting taxes. In addition, it is difficult for bus companies to predict demand of the current route because of the change of both regional conditions and traffic circumstances. Therefore, existing routs can occur both overwhelming and insufficiency of customers.BR In order to analyze efficiency of pubilc bus routes, this study presents a public traffic demand prediction model based on O-D traffic data sets. This research explores the efficiency of current routes and employs data envelopment analysis for improving inefficient routes by computing the degree of improvement. A case study is performed by using actual bus data sets from a local bus company in Incheon city.

Effects of exercise and nutrition education programs on motor function and eating habit in mild dementia patients.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of physical ac-tivity and nutrition education programs on mild dementia patients with changes in exercise function and eating habits. We examined the effects of pre and post program on 23 old patients with dementia who were diagnosed with menarche or mild dementia with the permission of the dementia center in Incheon city and visited from April to July 2017. The Mini-Mental State Examination score of the subjects in this study was 19.68±3.25, consisting of mild dementia patients. After performing the program for 16 weeks, the senior fitness test showed a significant change in the arm curl test, chair sit-and-reach test, and 2-min step test, and a total score of mini nutrition assessment increased from 19.16 to 21.0. In particular, in a level 2 evaluation, which contains more details such as the condition of taking drugs, number of daily meals, protein food intake condition, intake of vegetables, fruit, and water, whether one can eat alone, and evaluation of nutritive condition, a significant increase from 9.78 to 11.28 was verified. There is a significant increase in nutrition condition recovery as a result of nutrition education. In comparing pre and post program, a significant result was confirmed, and there was significance to provide the basic empirical data for the exercise and dietary life nutritional education of mild dementia patients.

Resident-focused tourism policy: perceived quality-of-life difference and its effect on expectations about and support for mega events

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to examine residents’ perceived quality of life (QOL), and how it influences their expectations and support in mega sport event settings. Hosting mega sport events that can successfully meet the residents’ high expectation and support has been highly acclaimed due to its far-reaching positive effects on the community’s economy. An empirical study was conducted by collecting data from 205 residents of Incheon city during the 2014 Incheon Asian games. The findings indicate that they perceive QOL differently and form significantly different expectations depending on the economic status of an area such as wealthy economic and societal area vs. underdeveloped economic and societal area. Moreover, positive expectation led to support for the Incheon Asian games, while negative expectation did not. This study suggests that different marketing messages should be delivered to different QOL groups since each QOL group has different expectations of a mega event. The theoretical and managerial implications and limitations of the research are discussed.

Mediating effect of infant teacher s efficacy in the relation between teacher s job stress and teacher-infant interaction

본 연구는 영아반 교사의 직무스트레스와 교사효능감 및 교사-영아 간 상호작용의 관계를 살펴보고, 교사의 직무스트레스와 교사-영아 간 상호작용의 관계에서 교사효능감의 매개효과를 검증하기 위하여 실시하였다. 이를 위해 인천지역 보육기관에 취원 중인 만 0∼2세반 담임교사 241명을 대상으로 연구를 수행하였으며, 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 영아반 교사의 직무스트레스는 교사효능감 및 교사-영아 간 상호작용과 부적 상관을 보였으며, 교사효능감과 교사-영아 상호작용 간에는 정적 상관을 보였다. 둘째, 영아반 교사의 직무스트레스와 교사-영아 간 상호작용과의 관계에서 교사효능감은 부분 매개효과를 나타냈다. 본 연구결과를 통하여 영아반 교사의 직무스트레스가 교사-영아 간 상호작용에 미치는 직접적 영향을 확인하였으며, 직무스트레스와 교사-영아 간 상호작용의 관계에서 교사효능감의 매개효과를 검증함으로써 교사효능감의 중재 역할로서의 중요성을 시사하였다.This study examines the relationships among infant teacher s job stress, teacher s efficacy, and teacher-infant interaction as well as investigates the mediating effect of teacher s efficacy between teacher s job stress and teacher-infant interaction. Participants were composed of 241 teachers of under 2-year-old children attending daycare centers in Incheon city. The results are as follows. First, there is a negative correlation between teacher s job stress and teacher s efficacy as well as teacher-infant interaction: however, there is positive correlation between teacher s efficacy and teacher-infant interaction. Second, teacher s efficacy had a partial mediating effect in between the relations of teacher s job stress and teacher-infant interaction. The results indicate that the effort to increase teacher s efficacy may increase the positive effect toward teacher-infant interaction caused by teacher s job stress. Furthermore, the effort to decrease teacher s job stress may decrease the negative effect toward teacher s efficacy and teacher-infant interaction.

Clinical characteristics of foreign body aspiration in children in Incheon city, Korea

Purpose: Foreign body aspiration in children is emergent and can cause serious complications. This study aims to show the clinical characteristics of foreign body aspiration and to analyze the clinical cases of delayed diagnosis to predict and prevent complica tions. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 63 children (48 in Inha University Hospital and 15 in Gachon Univer sity Gil Medical Center) who were diagnosed with foreign body aspiration through bronchoscopy from 1996 to 2017 in Incheon City, and analyzed clinical characteristics. Patients were divided into 3 groups: those were diagnosed within 24 hours, delayed after 24 hours, or delayed more than 7 days according to time elapse from the time of foreign body aspiration, and clinical characteristics of each group were compared. Results: Aspiration occurred in 58.7% at 1 year and 15.9% at 2 years. Cough (65.1%) and coarse breathing sound (41.3%) were most common, and radiologic findings were commonly presented as emphysema on the affected side (41.3%). Nuts were most common (42.9%), and there was no difference in the frequency between the right and left main bronchi. The documented history of foreign body aspiration was more frequently found in the early diagnosed group; however, sputum, fever, and complications were more frequent in the delayed diagnosed group. Conclusion: If a patient with respiratory disease has persistent fever or sputum, foreign body aspiration should be suspected. (Allergy Asthma Respir Dis 2018;6:303-309)
