Whether the environment that we are in is demanding, contentious or relaxed; the smallest thing in our community is important to how we are able to learn new things.

In an article by Ehlers and Clark (2000), they discussed the definition and contributing factors of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Post-traumatic stress disorder is a reaction that occurs in extreme cases following trauma that threatens one’s life or puts them in serious danger. While PTSD is classified as an anxiety disorder, which is generally in response to an impending threat, patients with PTSD have problems with memories for events that have already occurred (citation). Because of its classification as an anxiety related disorder, it is often described as the perception of a current threat since the corresponding trauma had already occurred. In patients with persistent or chronic PTSD, the trauma and the threat that they perceive is not seen as a time-limited event and their daily lives can be interrupted with flashbacks at any time. Patients with PTSD are often generally seen as more negative and they perceive all or most subsequent events following their trauma as negative to some degree. It is also common for patients with PTSD to overgeneralize their concepts of fear following trauma and tend to consider themselves as a reason for the event and a target for future similar events.

During the 1970s and 1980s, the Republic of Korea achieved exceptional economic development. However, the government focused on regional development rather than infrastructure development (Hine & Chelliah, 2009). Therefore, the rate of infrastructure investment had been decreasing in the 1980s in particular, which drove a lot of traffic bottlenecks in many regions, and high traffic congestion costs in roads, railways, and seaports. At the beginning of the 1990s, the government acknowledged the limits to fund the needed construction of infrastructure facilities and felt the need to mobilize new sources to invest infrastructure (Kim et al., 2011).
