There has been growing concern as to whether the growing investment in rural South Korea is achieving the desired ends. Empirical evidence is required to assess the current policies. Based on the logic of those policies, this study conducts an ex-post evaluation of outcomes following the termination of the Rural Traditional Theme Village program previously operated by the Rural Development Administration, a central government agency in South Korea. The research adopts farm households' non-farm i

본 연구의 목적은 서울시 범죄유발의 결정요인을 특히 공간적 특성을 중심으로 분석하여 범죄예방에 관한 도시계획적 함의를 제시하는 데 있다. 본 연구에서는 범죄가 공간적 특성과 밀접한 관련성을 가지고 있다는 가정을 설정하고 이러한 공간적 특성을 감안하여 분석할 수 있는 3가지 유형의 공간계량경제기법(SAR, SEM, SAC)을 적용하였다. 본 연구에서 분석된 주요 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 서울시 범죄 자료의 경우 공간적 종속성과 공간적 이질성이 존재하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 범죄와 가장 밀접한 관련성을 가지고 있는 변인은 특히 유동인구수와 유흥업소수인 것으로 드러났다. 셋째, 도시계획변인이 가지는 범죄와의 관련성은 매우 높은 것으로 드러났다. 범죄예방이라는 측면에서의 도시계획과 범죄에 대한 학문적 연구는 시민의 안전을 도모할 수 있다는 시민복리 증진의 측면에서 보다 세밀한 연구의 수행 및 정책의 집행이 이루어질 필요가 있는 것으로 판단된다.

Abstract: This study examines the determinants and employment consequences of white and black family interstate migration within the United States during the period 1985–90. We pay particular attention to selecting intact family migrants from the 1990 PUMS data to eliminate couples who migrated from different origins. Migration status is treated as a selection process and is incorporated into the employment opportunity models. We show that various socioenvironmental and fiscal factors are signif

An imperative challenge emerges from the demand to apply the scientific method in the assessment of recent agricultural and rural policies throughout the world. The objective of the present study was to conduct an ex-post quantitative evaluation of the Comprehensive Rural Village Development Program (CRVDP), a representative rural development policy operated by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, a central government agency in South Korea. The primary purpose of this program is

The aim of this study was to identify any changes that occur in the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GC-IPL) in patients with exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) during treatment with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injections.Patients were enrolled in this retrospective study if they had exudative AMD, had received at least 3 injections of ranibizumab or aflibercept, and had a minimum of 12 months of follow-up. We analyzed the

The present study investigates a commuting choice behavior in urban and rural areas. The present study utilizes the Korean Census data 2% sample to compare commuting choice of the people in urban and rural areas. We apply a conditional logit model to investigate the regional differences between urban and rural area. We found that (1)the demand of public transit exceeds the supply in rural areas (2)preference of motorcar for commuting increased in urban and rural areas, especially in rural areas

The present study construct a new technique that can evaluate diverse rural policies, which have been applied to the rural development programs at the village level. The method incorporates spatial econometrics models with a decomposition method that has little been utilized before. We applies the technique to evaluate the rural development programs that have been carried out by the Korea Forest Service and. Korea Rural Development Agency. The technique proved to be quite useful in that the tech

ABSTRACT Through kinship and other links to destinations, many African American interstate migrants in the United States join other people in destination households. These “linked” migrants contrast to “independent migrants” who move as individuals or intact groups and set up their own households at the destination. Using U.S. Census Public Use Micro Sample data, this paper first shows that, in the 1985‐90 period, about 45 percent of all Black interstate migrants were independent, compared to 38

The purpose of the present study is to identify agricultural niche goods in rural development strategies. We utilize the 2000 Korea Agricultural Survey, which in general has been in very limited use due to the fact of categorical sales variable. We create a new agricultural sales variable which enable us to get much more variability than it was categorized. The present study particularly concerns on the effects of environmental agriculture and computer usage on agricultural sales earnings. We fo

The major purposes of this paper are 1) to explore the major determinants that affect the application of computer and internet usage in farming households, and 2) to investigate the regional differences for this indicator. We utilized Korea Agricultural Survey Data, which has not been fully utilized before. The present study pays particular attention to the hierarchical structure of the data and spatial units when applying our econometric model to our empirical settings. The present study applie
