This study has focused on deriving a port governance restructuring strategy in Korea by analyzing the cases of port administration system changes in major developed countries from the perspective of the theory of endogenous institutional change in new institutionalism. This is to apply and respond appropriately to the change in the administrative environment of port decentralization, which is actively discussed worldwide and actively promoted in policy. The theory of endogenous institutional change emphasizes that various types of institutional change appear according to the strategic choice of the actor in response to the environmental context. Based on this, we tried to analyze changes in the port management system and find implications for major countries such as the United States, China, Japan, the Netherlands, and Australia, where the movement of port decentralization is relatively strong. As a result, it was confirmed that the port governance of these countries has changed in various forms such as substitution, drifting, stratification, and transformation. At the same time, it was possible to confirm the characteristics of institutional isomorphism, which introduced the Port Authority system as a core system of an efficient and professional port management system. These results provide implications for the necessity of port decentralization in Korea and the restructuring strategy of port governance required at this time.

This paper discusses the effects of marriage immigrants’ digital adaptation on adaptation to Korea. The degree of digital adaptation is measured as the skill to use digital devices, the degree of use of digital technology for daily life, and capital enhancement. Considering the close relationship between adaptation and life satisfaction, The degree of adaptation to Korea is measured as overall satisfaction and satisfaction by sector. The analysis results show that mobile use skill and capital enhancement activities have significant positive effects on the overall satisfaction of marriage immigrants. The level of mobile use skill, PC/mobile daily use, and capital enhancement activities have significant positive effects on satisfaction by sector. In order to enhance the digital adaptability of marriage immigrants, digital use education, education on Korean digital culture and related languages, provision of platforms and services considering marriage immigrants, and collaboration among related ministries were suggested.

The quality of life is threatened as incidents related to various hazardous chemicals, which are recently emerging as a social problem, are frequent. In particular, countless environmental health risks are seriously occurring, including the humidifier disinfectant incident, the Gumibulsan and radon bed incidents, the Iksan Jangjeom village, Incheon Sawol village, Anyang Yeonhyeon village and Namwon Nae village incident. The humidifier disinfectant case is in progress, and the Yangjang village and Sawol village are in the process of taking active countermeasures along with the recognition of the risk of danger by the Ministry of Environment. However, as a result of an epidemiological investigation, Naegi Village concluded that it is difficult to prove a causal relationship with the Ascon plant, which was raised as a problem factor, so that the cause of damage to the occurrence of many cancer patients and death was concluded with no reason. However, as the testimony of experts who participated in the epidemiological investigation at the time in 2016 was revealed recently, the need to re-examine the situation in the Beet Village is emerging. For this reason, this study can be explained as a successful case of environmental health risk-communication among a number of local cases in which problems related to environmental health risk-communication, and Naegi village can be evaluated as a representative failure case. This study was selected to review the research and analysis of success and failure factors in these two regions. The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors of success and failure of the two cases and present a more fundamental solution to the environmental health risk-communication problem in Korea as policy implications.
