This study conducts a path analysis using structural equation model to analyze communication effects that technologies accompanied by risk such as nuclear power affect social acceptance. The public tends to judge risk such as nuclear power by information through indirect communication routes such as mass media rather than direct experience. Thus, having an effect on factors of social acceptance such as perceived risk, perceived usefulness, and confidence of related institution might depend on how to communicate. As the final outcome, perceived risk of nuclear power does not huge influence on social acceptance. This is because it intended for the public who were not taken an interest in nuclear power directly. Confidence tends to increase social acceptance that affects perceived usefulness rather than perceived risk. Communication considerably affects confidence and perceived risk, but it does not affect perceived usefulness. In its final analysis, communication about nuclear power has an effect on social acceptance of nuclear power in the manner of increasing confidence and perceived usefulness, decreasing perceived risk.

This study aims to point out the problems of regional autonomous disaster prevention organization and suggests policy that can activate volunteer fire brigade is well organized on Eub, Myeon, Dong office. We analyze regional autonomous disaster prevention ccorps("JiYeokJaYoul BangJaeDan" in Korean) and volunteer fire brigade in terms that the residents are victims and counterparts In the process of disaster response and recovery. First, we are difficult to expect the role of regional autonomy within region because regional autonomous disaster prevention ccorps there are still leaders, expertise in disaster and residents' autonomy, etc. Second, volunteer fire brigade have many problems of various statutory limitations in dealing with disaster situations, no base of disaster prevention activities in the region, lack of professional qualifications of volunteer firefighters, lack of local voluntary disaster prevention activities, absence of self-prevention education in leadership development courses, etc. Plan to activate volunteer fire brigade is as followed: first, establishment of rules on actions of volunteer fire brigade and for diversification of educational, education of leader for regional disaster prevention, second, secureness and use as residents' shelter of volunteer fire brigade's office, performing the role of community safety report center and securing and expanding professional qualifications of members of resident disaster organization for securing base of disaster prevention activities in the region, third, expanding service areas and local safety keepers activities for enlargement of regional autonomous disaster prevention activities, etc.

The purpose of this study is to seek alternatives for compact development which is a dominant theoretical basis of urban renewal. The direction of the new market-oriented approach is proposed by reviewing New Urbanism and assessing the policy. The results are as follows. The policy effects of New Urbanism are significantly less than expected. The reason is that the theoretical basis is super ideal which does not properly reflect the characteristics of city. Urban stocks such as a range of facilities and activities in urban space can not easily obtain the fundamental change. New Urbanism has been advocated regressive changes in the physical urban structure ignoring in urban residential preferences. The viable of New Urbanism policy is very low because the policy ignores the efficiency of urban land market system. The pursuit of high-density development in the specific areas that ignored the reasonable urban consumption patterns and the location decision will be ineffective. The transit-oriented development policy leading New Urbanism can not achieve its goal in practice. In system to accelerate competition among cities, the alternative basic direction of the urban regeneration is to ensure maximum autonomy of the individual cities and urban residents. For efficient regeneration of urban spatial structure is multi-core distributed city which is reflect lifestyle and preferences of the citizens. The participation of citizens in the process of urban regeneration should be enabled to create their own direction and shape.
