One of them is to provide app-based COVID-19±related services to the public. As the pandemic continues, a need for various apps has emerged, including COVID-19 apps that can support activities aimed at overcoming the COVID-19 pandemic. Objective: We aimed to determine which apps were considered the most necessary according to users and evaluate the current status of the development of COVID-19±related apps in South Korea. We also aimed to determine users'acceptance and concerns related to using apps to support activities to combat COVID-19.

  • Landscapes of Korean and Korean American Biblical Interpretation
    BIBLICAL INTERPRETATION AMERICAN AND KOREAN LANDSCAPES OF KOREAN International Voices in Biblical Studies In this first of its kind collection of Korean and Korean American Landscapes of Korean biblical interpretation, essays by established and emerging scholars reflect a range of historical, textual, feminist, sociological, theological, and postcolonial readings. Contributors draw upon ancient contexts and Korean American and even recent events in South Korea to shed light on familiar passages such as King Manasseh read through the Sewol Ferry Tragedy, David and Bathsheba’s narrative as the backdrop to the prohibition against Biblical Interpretation adultery, rereading the virtuous women in Proverbs 31:10–31 through a Korean woman’s experience, visualizing the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) and demarcations in Galatians, and introducing the extrabiblical story of Eve and Norea, her daughter, through story (re)telling. This volume of essays introduces Korean and Korean American biblical interpretation to scholars and students interested in both traditional and contemporary contextual interpretations.

Although there are many causes, the most serious problem is a lack of leadership development training for children and youth. And then, the lack of a leadership program for young people not only fails to promote an evangelistic passion, but also causes a deficit of training for future church leaders. In this sense, various leadership competencies should be applied and developed in order to nurture young people spiritually.

That is, through the process of building consensus and cooperation between universities, the KCUE helps Korean universities make progress in their pursuit of achieving greater autonomy and fulfilling their responsibilities in response to the expectations from the government and the public. ■ The KCUE serves as a buffer between universities and the government by faithfully representing the universities’ needs and guiding the right direction for future policy development. In addition, the KCUE conducts projects commissioned by the government and supports universities. Furthermore, the KCUE submits opinions to the National Assembly in regard to enactment and amendment of laws related to university education. The KCUE periodically receives parliamentary audits of overall projects and its implementation to ensure its role as a public institution.

    I J A B E R, Vol. 14, No. 5, (2016): 2893-2911 THE EFFECTS OF U-CITY SECURITY SERVICE ON CRIME RATES Hyewon Kim*, Kabsung Kim** and Joohyun Lee*** Abstract: The national economy of South Korea has grown exponentially after 1960s, resulting in the urbanization rate to soar 39.1% in 1960 to 91.5% in 2013. However, unlike the rapid quantitative growth, a slow trend in qualitative growth of cities has resulted in a number of urban problems, especially in crime. A number of recent studies have focused on the factors influencing crime rates, the spatial effects of crime, as well as cities operating Ubiquitous Security service for the purpose of crime prevention. This study aims to address the effects of Ubiquitous city (U-city) on crime rates within the metropolitan area of Seoul. The study first analyzes the geographical distribution of crime rates and then identifies the existence of spatial autocorrelation of crime rates within Seoul. Finally, the study determines whether the execution of U-Security service affects crime rates and other urban characteristics that influence crime rates. These effects are determined by applying spatial regression models, which can control the spatial effects and other effects of other urban characteristics on crime rates. The results of this analysis show that U-City security service does not have a statistically significant effect on crime rates. The study can be used to support the application of U-City security service to regions with high crime rates, and to address the needs of future studies that aim to compare crime rates before and after the application of U-City security service.
