A survey was carried out in Seoul Metropolitan area during December of 1993 and January of 1994. The objective of the survey was to provide a useful information for the development and improvement of recycling policies, regulations and systems in Korea. Of the 782 individuals contacted, 473 individuals completed and retured surveys, of which 437 were usable. The results were analyzed using a statistical package SAS(Statistical Analysis System). The results indicated that 86% of apartment area has recycling bins, while only 33% of individual house(detached dwelling) area has those. About half of the respondents felt that food waste is the major source of household waste. The most serious problem to recycle more household waste is to provide space to store recyclables at the source. The majority of Seoul Metropolitans(78.5%) are willing to participate in recycling programs, while 14.4% want to participate only when there are economic incentives or benefits. Respondents who want economic incentives appeared to be low income people. 66.1% of total respondents said that they do not use disposables. However, only 53,0% among respondents under 30 years old answered they do not use disposables. People who graduated from middle high school only and are under 30 years old have tendency to dispose of used milk cartons without rincing and drying, while those who are over 40 years old and graduated from university prefered to rinse and dry used milk cartons before disposal. Regarding disposal of newspapers, only 43.9% of the total respondents separated newspaper from other types of used paper. In the case of alumium cans, 22.5% of the total respondents answered that used aluminum cans are not recyclables. Much higher portion (30. 4%) of the respondents who graduated from middle high school only felt that aluminum cans have no value to recycle. The results indicated that education and information regarding recycling are highly desirable.

The wastes generated in farming or fishing villages are mostly those of high moisture content or those once used for farming or fishing work, which require a complex process even for disposing of them alone, and moreover they have been recognized to cause a secondary side effects. The study thus is intended to conduct the basic character analysis and incineration test so as to develop the thermal decomposition furnace which will be optimal in disposing of the wastes generated from urban area that mostly have a high thermal energy or require a complex treatment process. And the subject included in the study, in addition, is to design and develop the furnace aimed at reducing the harmful ingredient as well as recycling the heat generated in the course of incineration.

This paper examines how South Korean government regulators and environmental scientists endeavored to improve the environmental quality of Seoul in preparation for the Olympic Games in 1988. When Seoul was nominated as a host city of the Summer Games in 1981, it was suffering from severe environmental pollution. The municipal government of Seoul and the Ministry of Environment initiated a series of pollution survey projects, which were followed by relevant regulatory procedures. One of the outcomes of these projects was the beginning of odor pollution regulation that used the Environmental Official Testing Method. Although the Pollution Prevention Act of 1963 made odor pollution such as unpleasant order, stench, and stink subject to environmental regulation, proper administrative procedures to reduce odor pollution were not in place until the 1980s. In order to reduce odor pollution in urban areas, governmental officers and environmental scientists tried to regulate odor-causing chemicals from factories. In June 1988, however, severe odor pollution was detected not from factories but from unregulated areas in Seoul, such as the waterside parks of the Han river, the downtown, and the marketplaces. The local regulators and scientists were concerned that the odor pollution could make a "wrong" impression on foreign athletes and visitors about the degree of "modernity" of Korea. This paper shows that the 1988 Summer Olympics was a transition point in the early history of odor regulation in South Korea, when the scope of odor regulation could be expanded.

In this study, we examined the movement of chlorophenol as a precursor of the dioxin in the after-combustion to minimize the creation and emission of dioxin in a municipal waste incinerator. The CPs was injected to the electric incinerator in temperature $300{\sim}500^{\circ}C$, using $N_2$ gas to control the reaction time, The oxygen quantity supplied into the $CP_s's$ isomer combustion was added with the value of experience formula. When the space velocity in reactor was 60~80/sec, the removal efficiency of CP was obtained in the presence of Mo-V catalyst and non catalyst. The efficiency in non-catalyst was 74% to 80% mono-CP, di-CP 55~66%, tri-CP 50~58%, while mono-CP 90~99.9%, di-CP 96~97%, tri-CP 76~99% in a catalyst. Consequently, it was shown that these were 20~30% more efficienct than those.

비점오염이란 도시, 도로, 농지, 산지, 공사장 등 불특정 장소에서 발생되는 오염을 말하며 건기 시에는 오염물질이 토지에 축적되었다가 강우 발생 시 강우와 함께 유출되어 관리에 많은 어려움이 있다. 유출된 오염물질은 특별한 전처리 없이 하천이나 호소로 유입되어 각종 수질오염, 부영양화 및 생활환경에 많은 영향을 받게 되며 상수원수에 문제가 발생하게 된다. 비점오염원의 특징은 초기강우 유출수는 고농도이며 토사, 협잡물 등이 많이 포함되어 있다. 초기강우 발생형태는 수로의 형태, 노면상태 유역현상 및 강우도달시간 등 유역의 특성에 따라서 달라지며, 토지이용상황, 하수도 정비여부 등에 따라서 오염물질의 종류와 농도가 변한다. 도시지역과 도로주변에는 먼지, 쓰레기, 마모된 타이어 등이 축적되며, 임야 및 산림에서는 비료, 축분, 대기오염물질의 강하물 등이 축적이 되어 강우 시 빗물에 씻겨 인근 수계로 직접 방류된다. 팔당상수원 비점오염원 최적관리사업 기본계획 및 타당성조사사업이 실시되어 비점오염저감시설의 설치대상 대표지점이 선정되었다. 그리고 각 배수구역의 특성에 맞는 최적관리기술이 제시되었다. 하지만 몇몇 시설들은 기대한 결과에 못 미치는 성과를 내고 있다. 따라서 이번 연구에서는 이러한 비점오염저감시설의 시설형 중 하나인 와류형 비점오염저감시설의 운용에 따른 효율성 분석에 관한 연구를 실시하였다. 실험장치는 현재 운영되고 있는 와류형 비점오염저감시설 참고하여 실험장 조건에 맞춰 1/4축적의 정상모형을 제작하였고 저감시설로 유입되는 원수의 유량과 단차를 변화시켜 실험하였다. 저감시설의 유입조건이 변하게 되면 시설 내 유속, 체류시간 등 운전조건이 바뀌게 되므로 제거효율도 변하게 될 것이다. 저감효율산정은 시설로 유입된 유입수와 유출수의 SS농도를 이용하여 산정하였다. 와류형저감시설의 SS제거효율을 연구한 결과, 모형에서 유량 $0.0016m^3/s$, 단차 10cm 인 조건에서 8.7%로 가장 높은 효율이 측정되었다. 이를 원형에서의 조건으로 환산하면 유량 $0.0512m^3/s$, 고수조와 저감시설의 단차 40cm일 경우 가장 높은 효율이 나타난다. 이와 같은 이유는 시설에 유입되는 유량이 증가 할수록 내부의 유속이 증가해 저감시설 내 처리수의 체류시간 감소와 교란이 발생하여 저감효율이 떨어지는 것으로 사료된다.

The emission characteristics of odorous compounds discharged from the major environmental treatment facilities in Chungju were closely investigated by an ammonia passive sampler and by analyzing a questionnaire of the public complains. Amongst the four major emission sources, the manure treatment facility showed the highest concentration. The major components were sulfur compounds including H$_2$S, tri-methyl amine, and aldehydes. The foodwaste treatment processes releases sulfur compounds and aldehydes. Municipal waste water treatment facility emits a high concentration of acetaldehyde. It was found that the perceived odor level depends on the meteorological condition, and the odor intensity was higher at midnight than daytime.

In order to minimize emission of polychlorinated dibenzo dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzo furans (PCDD/PCDFs) from municipal solid waste incinerators, it is important to maintain optimized operating conditions along with the system modification/improvement. Operating conditions of MSW incinerator make very complicated influence on formation of PCDD/PCDFs in each unit apparatus. For revealing these influences, concentrations of PCDD/PCDFs are measured from the stack and from the fly ash, while monitoring the plant operating conditions. The effects are grouped into 3 main categories, combustion conditions, de Novo synthesis effects, and adsorption/destruction effects in the flue gas treatment system. Interpretation of the results showed that de Novo synthesis effect, reformation by metalic catalyst, especially Cu in fly ash in the temperature range of $250{\sim}500^{\circ}C$, is found to influence most dominantly on the concentration of PCDD/PCDFs. A plausible mathmatical model for predicting concentration of PCDD/PCDFs is proposed, and discussed.

Differently from fly ash, the bottom ash produced from incinerated urban solid waste has been treated as an industrial waste matter, and almost reclaimed a tract form the sea. If this waste material is applicable to foam concrete as an fine aggregate, however, it may be worthy of environmental preservation by recycling of waste material as well as reducing self-weight of high-rising structure and long-span bridge. This research has an objective of evaluating the effects of application of bottom ash on the mechanical properties of foam concrete. Thus, the ratio of bottom ash to cement was selected as a variable for experiment and the effect was tested by compression strength, flexural strength, absorption ratio, density, expansion factor. It can be observed from experiments that the application ratios have different effects on the material parameters considered in this experiment, thus major relationship between application ratio and each material parameter were finally introduced. The result of this study can be applied to decide a optimal mix design proportion of foam light-weight concrete while bottom ash is used as an fine aggregate of the concrete.

In France, there are many forms of organizations based on the intercommunal solidarity for city development and management. The purpose of the collaboration among Communes is to achieve high quality and well-equipped service-delivery system through co-operation of public services needed grand finances : water supply and sewage system and waste disposal system etc. The cooperation among French Communes and its effects, even though these were owing to the existing French local administration system, continued throughout regional co-management and social co-development process. This study suggested some characteristics and implications of the collaborative-style French new-town development and management organizations focused on the EPA, SAN and CA. First, the role of developmental corporation like EPA and its collaborative structure of decision-making are meaningful, because in these ways many related Communes could share a goal of new town development. Second, the way of new town corporation (SAN) is important in the sense of enabling the Communes to collaborate with each others while maintaining autonomy, so those are not simply state-directed objects, which was very difficult in the former French local administration system. Finally, transforming to CA (Communautes d'agglomeration:city community), EPA as an intercommunal corporation is possible to extend its purpose to the domain of regional planning including new town and periphery areas and change its position to a subject which can practice Commune's sustainable development according to stages of city's development and maturity. The most important implication of this study on urban development in Korea is that administrative consultative council or association among local governments and related authorities need to be established and effectively operate because multi-stakeholders could share a goal of urban development and management through that.
