This paper explores how effectively the newly introduced planning process - California Senate Bill No. 375 will achieve the regional GHG emissions target under the California policy and planning framework and how well incentive based environmental policy might perform. The new legislation creates a future growth scenario to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with incentives as means of implementation of AB 32 - the Global Warming Solution Act of 2006 and includes five important policy and planning aspects: 1) the role of sustainable communities strategies (SCS) as one of the key elements in their regional transportation plans; 2) planning for transportation and housing; 3) specified incentives for the implementation of SCS; 4) the regional planning approach toward reducing GHG emissions; and the role of the California Air Resources Board to establish the regional GHG emissions target. This has significant implications for regional and environmental planning with incentives - resources allocation and approval process.

최근 가장 유망한 산업 분야를 꼽으라면 단연 환경산업이라고 할 수 있을 것이다. 과거의 경우, 환경산업은 환경오염 유발물질을 처리하기 위한 '사후처리산업'으로 인식되었고, 환경정책은 기업 활동을 규제하는 정책으로 '경제성장과 상충되는 개념'으로 인식되었던 것이 사실이다. 하지만 최근 들어 '삶의 질'에 대한 관심이 커지고, 기후 변화 대응 및 수자원관리의 중요성이 커짐에 따라 환경산업은 친환경 제품생산, 신 재생에너지 개발, IT/BT 등 첨단기술과의 융합사업 등 그 분야를 점차 확대해 가고 있는 추세이다. 환경부도 환경산업을 정책적으로 육성하기 위하여 환경과 경제의 상생을 목표로 하여, 유망 환경기술에 대한 R&D 투자 확대, 환경전문인력 양성 프로그램 운영, 환경산업 비즈니스 상담회 개최, 수출지원 상담센터 운영 등 다양한 지원프로그램을 마련하고 있다.

"Eco-friendly" automobile has been a symbol of the Low Carbon, Green Growth strategy that Korea government decided to pursue. In line with the recent policy trend, a number of new LPG stations are being constructed. However, communities where mass storage are installed have been suffered from risk of serious accidents. In this work, economic analyses for different installation methods has been performed to prevent accidents in LPG filling station. The review shows that the underground storage is beneficial for the maintenance and the effective land use.

The yellow poplar is an appropriate species for the age of low carbon green growth, because its absorption rates of ozone is greatly excellent, and also the absorption rates of carbon dioxide causing climate changes is very remarkable. The yellow poplar, which is a kind of rapid growth tree, shows a lack of performance as a structural member, however, it is suitable to use a variety of purposes like furniture materials, interior materials, plywood materials, and so on. In this study, the structural size skin-timbers were made by using the yellow poplar, and the compressive capacity was evaluated, also the numerical model was developed for the various uses. The rectangular shape skin-timber presented a good performance by showing 56.3% residual strength about the solid material. In case of the cylinder shape skin-timber showed a possibility to use diversely as a furniture material, as well as a structural uses, because almost 50% compressive capacity of material even though its residual area rates was 25%. Both rectangular shape and the cylinder shape represented that 'Brooming or end rolling' were the major failure mode, and partly splitting failure mode. The compressive capacity of the rectangular shape which residual area rates was large was higher than the cylinder shape, but it did not show statistical significance about the compressive capacity between them. Thus, it will be possible to use them mixed for a convenience of users. The result of the numerical analysis model was quite similar to actual test of the compressive capacity. Therefore, the yellow poplar can be utilized in the development of various uses by applying numerical analysis model about a variety of shapes and dimensions.

Visible photoluminescence (PL) has been observed generally in the blue and green spectral region from anodically etched porous Ge as well as spark processed Ge. Porous Ge which is prepared by anodic etching without UV light illumination displays the PL peak max of 52 nm (2.38 eV), while porous Ge with UV light illumination exhibits PL peak blue shift to a 470 nm (2.63 eV). Spark processed Ge shows a PL peak max of 520 nm with shoulder peaks at 420 nm and 610nm. The values of energy shift as a function of decreasing temperature between 300 K and 20 K is 0.53 and $1.89\;meVK^{-1}$ for anodic etched Ge without UV illumination and with UV illumination, respectively. On the contrary, no continuous blue shift of PL peak as a function of decreasing temperature is observed for the green luminescing spark processed Ge. From the results of PL as a function of temperature the origin of blue and green luminescing anodically etched Ge as well as spark processed Ge is discussed.
