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. Methods: We collected data from 1148 users from a web-based survey conducted between November 11 and December 6, 2020.

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.

However, the explosive growth of urban areas has led to the formation of informal settlements in the urban fringe, subsequently threatening these sensitive habitats and exaggerating several social and environmental problems. We seek to improve the current understanding of informal settlements and their formation in the metropolitan fringe through a comprehensive spatiotemporal analysis of the Guryong Area (GA) in the Gangnam District, Seoul, South Korea. We measured the land-use and land-cover (LULC) changes in the entire GA from 1950 to 2015, and then analyzed the changes in one specific land-use type defined as “spontaneous settlements”. We then combined these changes with landform and slope data in 600-m-wide bands along the gradient of urbanization. The results showed spontaneous settlements distributed in small clusters in 1975, and the growth of this distribution into larger, more condensed clusters beginning in 1985.

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.
