Who Remains Conservative?

Wooyong Jung,Yoon C,Cho 한국학술연구원 2019 Korea Observer Vol.50 No.1

This study investigated the logic behind the formation process of political orientation in Korea by revisiting Thorstein Veblen s social Darwinism perspective, according to which the highest and lowest income groups keep their conservativeness longer than other groups either willingly or passively. In order to prove his theory, this study borrowed a dataset from the World Values Survey (WVS) and applied several regression models. As a result, conservativeness decreased as level of income increased; however, the extent to which conservative orientation decreases became smaller. It meant that Veblen s theory has well fitted into Korean society. Based on the results, this study diagnosed current circumstance of Korean society having suffered from serious social and political polarization. It concluded that the polarization happened due mainly to the time gap among individuals to capitulate to the pressure of change which the present age requires accepting, and finally provided appropriate stance to address the problem.

Which Risk Management Is Most Crucial for Controlling Project Cost?

Jung, Wooyong,Han, Seung H. American Society of Civil Engineers 2017 Journal of management in engineering Vol.33 No.5

<P>Risk identification, assessment, and mitigation have been widely used for effective risk management in international construction projects. However, contractors sometimes cannot know what risk exists, and even when they identify the risk, they sometimes do not know the impact on project cost or how well it can be mitigated after award. Thus, this study analyzes 20,008 risk data points, which are composed of checked risk before bid, actual risk after award, and residual risk after mitigation, and shows that 15% of unidentified risks before a bid actually happen as risks after award, 33% of identified risks are underassessed, and 62% of actual risks are not mitigated after award. This study examines the influence of risk identification performance on assessment and mitigation performance and which risk management phase impacts cost performance more. This study also shows risk factors that are not well identified, assessed, and mitigated. These results help in managing practical risk control and identify which risk control should be studied further. (C) 2017 American Society of Civil Engineers.</P>

A Multi-objective Linear Programming Framework for Evaluating the Financial Viability of Supplementary Facilities in Build-Transfer-Lease Projects in Korea

Jung, Wooyong,Koo, Bonsang,Han, Seung Heon 대한토목학회 2012 KSCE JOURNAL OF CIVIL ENGINEERING Vol.16 No.1

Since 2005, the Build-Transfer-Lease (BTL) scheme has been successful in delivering projects such as schools and government housing to the general public while relieving the fiscal constraints of the Korean government. Recently, the inclusion of 'supplementary' facilities to the main BTL project has been posited as an alternative solution to increase a BTL project's rate of returns. However, the absence of a structured approach to evaluate the financial viability of this modified scheme has thus far made its use restrictive. Determining the viability of the modified scheme requires identifying the relative project size of the supplementary facility and the appropriation of the additional revenue between the government and concessionaire that ensure that both parties benefit, while accounting for the increased risk in liquidity. This research proposes a framework using multi-optimization linear programming and Monte Carlo simulation that determines the optimal size of the supplementary facility and the appropriate revenue distribution ratio that minimize government payments and maximize the internal rate of return, while maintaining positive project cash flows. A retrospective case study on a military housing project demonstrates that using the proposed framework enables the addition of a shopping mall which increases the overall rate of return while minimizing the risks of the project.

“Win-win strategy” for sustainable relationship between general contractors and subcontractors in international construction projects

Lee, Jung Ki,Han, Seung H.,Jang, Woosik,Jung, Wooyong Springer-Verlag 2018 KSCE Journal of Civil Engineering Vol.22 No.2

<P>Despite the huge increase in international construction revenue for Korean construction firms during the last decade, only 8% of the overall international construction revenue has been executed by small and medium-sized construction companies (SMCCs). In addition, Korean SMCCs yields lower profits rather than large construction companies. This is due primarily to the fact that SMCCs, as subcontractors, are generally hampered by lack of financial and technical capabilities, shortage of experience, and lack of information. The low profit eventually affects both general contractors and project performance as a whole. The aim of this research is to create a framework that considers the risks of subcontractors in international construction projects to allow them to create a win-win strategy. The framework considers two perspectives: the level of the subcontractor's performance and the interface risks between the general contractor and the subcontractor. The performance is assessed using the cost, schedule, and quality of the project's outcome. By using 77 risks identified as relevant, a correlation analysis is performed to determine the critical risks from both perspectives. The results are found to create a strategy matrix that considers both the degree of partnership and the performance of the subcontractor. This research is expected to support industry practitioners in developing a win-win strategy, which will eventually provide them with successful entry into international construction projects.</P>

중소규모 지방 대학의 MOOC 활성화 방안 연구

정우용(Wooyong Jung),오원근(Wongeun Oh) 한국융합예술치료교육학회 2021 예술과 인간 Vol.7 No.-

본 연구는 국내외 고등교육 연구 및 대학 동향 분석을 통해서 지방 대학이 추구하는 MOOC의 방향을 제시하고 대학에 적합한 MOOC의 모형을 단계별로 제안한다. 코로나 바이러스로 인해 비대면 교육이 급격하게 활용되고 있는 이 시점에서 인터넷을 활용한 교육은 점차 더 확대될 전망이며, 코로나 이후에도 많은 부분에서 지금보다 더 높은 이용률을 나타낼 것으로 전망된다. 이러한 환경에서 대학의 교육 환경에 적합한 MOOC 플랫폼과 경쟁력 있는 컨텐츠를 구축하기 위해 국내외 MOOC 플랫폼의 동향과 장단점에 대해 알아보고 이를 기반으로 지방에 위치한 중소 규모 대학의 MOOC 구축 및 활용을 위한 추진 방향과 절차에 대해 고찰하였다. MOOC는 장점도 있지만 비대면으로 인한 단점도 존재한다. 전통적으로 대면 교육을 해왔던 대학에서 비대면 교육의 장점을 흡수해서 경쟁력있는 새로운 대학으로 발전하기 위해서는 각 대학의 실정에 맞는 효율적인 MOOC 체계의 구축이 필수적이며, 본 연구는 이러한 연구의 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다. This study presents the direction of MOOC pursued by local universities through domestic and international higher education trend analysis. And we propose a model of MOOC suitable for local universities step by step. Recently, non-face-to-face education has been rapidly used due to the coronavirus, and it is expected to increase even after COVID-19. In order to build MOOC platforms and competitive contents suitable for the university"s educational environment, the trends, advantages, and disadvantages of MOOC platforms are investigated. Then, the direction and procedure for the establishment and utilization of MOOCs of small and medium-sized universities located in the provinces were considered. Although MOOC has advantages, there are also disadvantages due to non-face-to-face communication. Universities have traditionally provided face-to-face education. In order to absorb the advantages of non-face-to-face education and make a competitive education system, it is essential to establish an efficient MOOC system suitable for each university"s situation. This study can be used as basic data for these studies.

Multimodality and discourse viewpoint configuration: A case study of UK political posters

Jung Hwi Roh,Wooyong Jin,Eunsong Kim,Hayoung Kim,Iksoo Kwon 경희대학교 언어정보연구소 2019 언어연구 Vol.36 No.2

The aim of this paper is to provide a cognitive semantic analysis of multimodal viewpoint phenomena by conducting a case study of political campaign posters from the United Kingdom’s Conservative and Labour parties. It provides a qualitative account of a selection of posters within the framework of Discourse Viewpoint Space (Dancygier and Vandelanotte 2016), specifically exploring discourse viewpoint configurations in the posters with a special focus on their texts (e.g., lexical choices and style), visual images, and the viewpoints of different participants (i.e., current speaker/addressee and represented speaker/addressee). We collected 87 posters from the Advertising Archives (http://www.advertisingarchives.co.uk) in August 2018. We categorized the selected posters into three types: (1) those explicitly encoding the speaker, (2) those explicitly encoding the addressee, and (3) those explicitly encoding both. We take a detailed look at each type, focusing on whether the viewpoint of the current interlocutor is aligned with that of the represented interlocutor, assuming that the current speaker is equivalent to those who design the posters, and the current addressee to those who view the posters. Based on this inductive functional taxonomy, this paper discusses how the multimodal posters’ political messages are constructed and construed in terms of the levels of hierarchical viewpoint networks, which include local perspectives and more comprehensive discourse viewpoints, as well as viewpoint alignment between the participants. The study shows that the viewpoint configurations of the posters are key to the articulation of the intended messages such that they fit the values of the two political parties. The study also supports the claim that multiple viewpoints are intrinsic to meaning construction, and to the conceptualization of multimodal expressions (Sweetser 2012).
