태양광 발전은 태양에너지를 직접 전기에너지로 변환시키는 설비로서 Co2 발생이 적고 에너지원인 태양에너지가 무한하다는 장점이 있다. 현재 EU를 비롯한 선진국 및 개도국에서는 신재생에너지 확대를 위해 전 국가적으로 노력하고 있으며 특히 태양광 발전분야는 전 세계적으로 설비용량이 급증하고 있다. 국내에서도 발전차액지원제도 하에 태양광 발전설비를 확충하고 있으며, 정부가 발표한 1차국가에너지 기본계획에 의하면 2030년까지 3,504 MW로 공급규모를 확대할 방침이다. 그러나 현재 태양광 발전은 에너지 변환효율은 약 15%이며 날씨와 시간에 따라 발전에 제약이 따른다. 이에 태양광 발전의 신뢰성을 확보하기 위해 국내 발전차액지원을 받고 있는 태양광 발전소의 연간 발전량을 근거하여 이용률을 분석했다. 분석결과 일사량이 풍부한 전남지역의 이용률이 가장 높고,반대로 경기와 서울지역은 저조했으며, 연평균 15.70%의 이용률을 보였다. 한편 월간 이용률은 5월에 높게 나타났으며, 연중 최대 전력수요가 나타나는 7-9월에는 기상조건으로 인해 저조한 이용률을 보였다. 따라서 기후변화를 완화하고 저탄소 녹색성장을 구현하기 위해 기술개발을 통해 태양광 이용률 증대시켜야 한다.

The pillar of the Paris Agreement, which will define the efforts of the international community against climate change since 2020, is the INDCs submitted by each country. In this study, the INDCs of the major industrial and developing countries (EU, USA, Japan, China, India) and South Korea are reviewed and national circumstances are analyzed based on the status of industrial structure, power mix and GHG emissions. We will also present South Korea's strategies in future climate change negotiations. South Korea should ; find out the special differentiating factors favorable to Korea with which the international community can agree; and establish an interagency working group to prepare for the periodical renewal of the INDC.

Recently, domestic energy environment is facing new challenges owing to the depletion of fossil fuel such as oil. Renewable energy resources including solar and wind energy are attracting more interests than ever before. However, solar power system is costly in comparison with the conventional power generation systems and also the energy density is low. Furthermore, large area is required in order to install solar power system. Generally, performance of solar power system is affected by weather conditions and alignment of sun and the solar cell modules. In this study, a new type of sun tracking system for solar power system is proposed. To verify the feasibility of the proposed system, actual implementation of prototype system and experiments are carried out.

Tourism is one of the largest and fastest growing industries in the world, and is a major industry in many developed and developing countries. It is an increasingly important source of income, employment and wealth in many countries. However, its rapid expansion has also had detrimental environmental and socio-cultural impacts over many regions. Like tourism, the rapid growth in cruise tourism has also put greater pressures on environmental and cultural resources in cruise-ship ports of call. Through this paper, we would like to argue that more emphasis should be given to minimize national and international environmental impacts originated from cruise tourism with preparing infrastructures for sustainable tourism.

The export of agricultural, fisheries, and food products acts as an engine of growth for developing countries in particular. However, exporting these items is easier said than done since issues of certification and inspection, so-called technical barriers to trade (TBT) and sanitary and phytosanitary measures (SPS), in developed markets have worked as major obstacles for exports. This paper examines the institutional aspects and recent trends of South Korea's TBT/SPS-related cases against exporting firms of the developing countries. We suggest a win-win partnership model that can promote cooperative synergies between Korea and developing employing trade-related technical cooperation or ODA (Official Development Aid). Technical cooperation such as the provision of on-spot field consulting services on TBT/SPS-related issues for exporting firms and Korean OEM firms of developing countries can lead to mutual gains. This cooperative partnership can create gains from "the trade-development nexus" for both sides while promoting sustainable trade and investment relationships between Korea and developing countries.

International remittances play a crucial role in the economic management of each country, especially in developing countries. Its functions are diverse, including procurement of foreign currency, serving as a cushion for the balance of payments and foreign exchange reserves by reducing the adverse external shocks, driving economic growth, easing the gap between the rich and the poor, and maintaining macroeconomic stability. However, previous studies on remittances have mainly focused on macro-and micro-economic aspects to analyze the determinants. Therefore, this study attempts to identify the determinants of remittances in 122 countries over the past 25 years from macroeconomic and educational aspects as well as institutional qualities. In addition, given the fact that almost all of the world's top 10 recipient countries in terms of GDP and total remittance size are developing countries, developed and developing countries are separated and analyzed for comparison, assuming that there may be a difference between the two groups. Results show that the coefficients of developed and developing countries are different in four areas: Control of Corruption (CC), Rule of Law (RL), Voice and Accountability (VA), and Regulatory Quality (RQ) among the six institutional variables of interest in this study. These results implicate that even the same institutions and policies should be applied and implemented differently depending on the circumstances of each country. In addition, as suggested by the World Bank, policymakers in all countries should double their policy efforts to lower the costs of remittance and improve access to the financial system for immigrants or dispatched workers to ensure a steady inflow of remittances.

The purpose of this paper is to plan deployment strategy of public key infrastructure for Malawi by considering the information and communication technology status on it. For this, we will review the information communication technology status on developing and least developed countries focused on Malawi and plan deployment strategy of mobile based public key infrastructure. First of all, we extract out security considerations for public key infrastructure, which is efficient for wireless communication, and design a new lightweight public key infrastructure apt to mobile device by considering Malawi's information communication technology status. Especially, the proposed mobile based public key infrastructure uses smartcards for all the processes of certificate. It could guarantee the same security as the wired counter part based on lightweight mobile device.

The purpose of this study is to analyse the ethical basis of two influential global citizenship idea - Rawls' liberal approach and cosmopolitan republicanism - as a theory on global justice. In the aspect of deontology, Rawls' view has the limit not to reflect reciprocal obligation and duty on civil right in the era of economic globalization that inequality has been structured. But cosmopolitan republicanism has the basis of deontological justification because advocates the realization of anti-domination principle at global level. In the aspect of utilitarianism, Rawls attempts to justify the logic rejecting redistribution intra nations. But cosmopolitan republicanism has the potential to decrease maleficence at global level and to increase utility level through overcoming the structured sacrifice of the citizens of developing countries.

The purpose of this article is to measure sustainability of countries based on material flow approach by connecting fossil fuel vs. economy, and fossil fuel vs. environment, respectively. The focus of the article is to confirm where each country concentrates more between economic growth and environment. Even though most of countries exclaimed the growth harmonized between economy and environment, the empirical results proved that they had weight on economic growth over environment. Of three country groups, the sustainability in OECD countries was the lowest, whereas that of low income countries was the highest. It has been known that the main offenders of global warming are developing countries and backward countries, but emission of greenhouse gas per capita in OECD countries was higher and as a result, their sustainability was much lower than those of other countries. Accordingly, because the OECD countries have more responsibility for the emission of greenhouse gas, it is necessary that they have to bear a larger portion of emission reduction.

This study aims to assess the development effectiveness of the Paris Declaration (2005). Using data collected by the OECD/DAC from 78 developing countries for the period 2005~2010, this study evaluates the role played by the Paris Declaration principles alone and in interaction with aid in promoting per-capita GDP growth. The analysis shows that the overall net impact of aid on promoting economic growth has been negative. However, aid effectiveness has been enhanced by the sound policies or institutions and some Paris Declaration (PD) principles. Of the five principles of the PD, only the alignment and, to some extent, mutual accountability principles of the PD did show a significant and positive role in making aid more effective for economic growth of aid recipient countries. Therefore, OECD's statement that the PD enhances aid effectiveness is supported only partially. These findings have significant implications for the importance accorded to sound policies and institutions in the growth literature, and for future international development cooperation agenda.
