This article aims to compare the objectives and localization processes of the program Dad! Where Are We Going?, hoping to understand the characteristics of Chinese reality show localization and the reasons for localization. Through analysis, it can be seen that the localized Dad! Where Are We Going? mainly retains the advantages of intimacy, guest composition, classic moments, and production results from the original program. It has been adjusted in terms of personnel composition, production content, strengthening of the father-son relationship, increasing contradictions, and special effects. The changes can be explained from three perspectives: policy system, audience market, and cultural field. The conclusions drawn from the analysis of these reasons are of great significance for Korean programs entering the Chinese market in the future, and for the joint development of new variety shows by South Korea and China. Successful localized works will not reproduce the original program. Based on local traditions and assumptions, targeted adjustments and innovations will be necessary based on China’s national conditions and viewing habits.

This article examines the factors affecting Japan’s Indo-Pacific strategy based on an analysis of the changes in foreign security strategy during the second Abe administration. Prime Minister Abe strengthened the securitization of Japan through the establishment of the National Security Council (NSC) and the announcement of the National Security Strategy (NSS) a short period of time after retaining power in December 2012. On the other hand, Japan’s “security renaissance” trend is reinforced by Japan's active participation in the US-led Indo-Pacific strategy. The difference is clearer when comparing this active participation policy to the reactive diplomatic tendency of Japan in the past. In addition, this paper examines Japan's involvement in the Indo-Pacific strategy and seeks to deduce its implications. The enhancement of bilateral or multilateral security cooperation in the four countries of the United States, Japan, Australia, and India will serve as a key axis for the future security order in East Asia.

This paper aims to provide policy and strategic implications for improving efficiency by measuring operational efficiency and analyzing factors affecting hospital efficiency in 33 regional public hospitals in South Korea from 2012 to 2016. Efficiency measurement analysis was conducted by using DEA Excel Solver1.0 and EnPAS1.0, while efficiency impact analysis used clipped Tobit regression. Inputs and outputs used in the DEA model were selected by using ExpertChoice11, an AHP technique. According to DEA Efficiency Analysis, the overall annual efficiency index trend of entire agency was elevated. This result also implies existence of operational efficiency, by increasing the number of adjustment patients and profit or loss of regional public hospitals, such as the number of medians controlled by regional public hospitals, the number of operating cases, and the cost of medical care. According to Tobit Regression for Efficiency Factor Analysis, the number of mediation physicians and the cost of medical care have a significant effect on the efficiency index of regional public hospitals. As a result of verification of differences in profitability and efficiency, there was no difference between the efficiency index of profit- and loss-making hospitals. In this study, we identified each regional hospital’s efficiency and inefficiency factors, and also presented benchmarking points as well. Also meaningful is the implication that local medical institutions should consider public and for-profit issues at the same time by demonstrating the relationship between profit- and loss-making hospitals.
