In this research I investigate different firm characteristics between environment-friendly companies which are awarded by the Government and companies which violate environmental regulations. I set up three hypotheses in terms of managers' environmental attitude and firms' characteristic in technical, financial and structural aspects, considering environmental experts' opinions and findings of previous papers. Main research findings are as follows. First, both acquisition of the ISO 14001 certificate and ownership structure are used as proxy of top management attitude towards environmental decision-making. It is hypothesized that it is found that the certificates of ISO 14001 is a good proxy to represent top management environmental attitude and a firm with the certificate would have less likelihood of violation. Second, it is hypothesized that technical ability affects violation tendency of environmental regulations. It is found that as R&D investment increases, violation likelihood of environmetal regulations decrease. It can be conjectured that R&D investment may improve technical abilities of observing environment regulations. Third, it is investigated whether a firm's financial capability affects violation tendency of environmental regulations. Fourth structural aspects of a firm such as capital intensity, the number of employees and export ratio are investigated. It is found that a firm with more employees per sale amount tends to violate environmental regulations. It is not found any effects of expert ratio nor capital intensity on violation tendency of environmental regulation.

댐에는 하류 홍수피해 경감을 위한 방류설비와 댐에 저장된 물을 생활 농업 공업용수로 활용하기 위한 취수설비가 구축되어 있다. 취수설비는 고객의 요구에 부응하기 위해 여러 종류의 개선사례와 형식변경을 통해 날로 발전을 거듭하고 있다. 1970년대 소양강댐이 건설된 후 1990년대 중반까지는 수력발전을 목적으로 수차발전기 분해점검을 위한 수리용 게이트가 채택되어 저수지 중층부에 설치한 사례가 많다. 경제부흥 초창기 우리나라가 해외차관으로 건설한 소양강댐, 안동댐, 대청댐 등의 취수설비가 이에 해당한다. 이후 1990년대 말까지 하류 농작물 냉해방지를 위해 상온수의 물을 취수하는 표면취수설비가 임하댐, 주암댐, 용담댐 등에서 채택 운영되고 있다. 그러다가 횡성댐, 장흥댐 등이 건설되는 2000년대 초부터 기존의 냉해방지와 조류 등 환경변화에 대처가 가능하도록 저수지 전 구간을 수심별로 구분 선택하여 취수하는 다공식 취수설비와 표면취수설비가 동시에 설치되는 복식형 취수설비가 채택 운영됨에 따라 단순 수리용 게이트에서 복합적인 기능을 갖춘 취수설비로 발전을 하였다. 2002년 태풍 '루사'와 2003년 태풍 '매미'로 인해 유입된 고탁도수가 장기간 댐 내에 체류하여 하류용수공급에 심각한 문제점이 발생되고, 부영양화로 인한 적조현상 등이 사회적으로 크게 이슈화됨에 따라 임하댐과 용담댐에서는 표면취수설비를 중간구간 취수가 가능한 분리형 선택취수설비로 개선한 결과(임하댐(2006), 용담댐(2008)) 댐 본래의 순기능인 청정수 담수가 가능해졌을 뿐만 아니라, 하류생태계 보존에도 크게 이바지하였다. 또한, 최근에는 전 구간 선택취수가 가능하도록 화북댐에는 정류판형 선택취수설비, 부항댐 및 성덕댐에는 실린더 게이트가 국내 최초로 도입되는 전환기를 맞이하게 되었다.

Animal welfare has become a prominent concern around the world so that the laws and guidelines of animal welfare are being strengthened in many countries including the EU. In Korea, it is required to supplement animal welfare standards because social awareness of animal welfare has changed. This study was conducted to compare broiler welfare certification standards and improve the quality of practice. We found that broiler welfare certification standards differ among countries according to environmental and managemental differences. Standards for stocking density and perch which is considered more important for poultry welfare are similar, but there is a little difference in feed, water, litter and lighting. Therefore, we assumed that theses are able to revise standards taking into account the environment and suggested that the broiler welfare certification standard will serve as a more useful criterion if breeding conditions in Korea are considered.

The Ubiquitous Society is being attained gradually as it got through the step of super-high speed internet mobile and digital convergence. Now, it is being variously spread to no only the little ordinaries of communication but also fields of economy and industry. Specially, RFID and Navigation are being issued at home and foreign. These are prospected to give assistances that it bring along the competitive power of nation. But inflection range of RFID and Navigation is localized in the most sin lest. This paper proposes system to reflect the individual and special quality using RFID and Navigation and to fit easily changing environment. And we studied to use what kinds of information in the special environment. We used Fuzzy Logie and TSP for making the intelligent navigation system with more information.

The government has switched the purpose of housing policy, from the 'housing supply' to 'housing welfare', with the Housing Laws established in 2015 under evaluation that resident stability and resident standard were improved. But, as 'affordable' housing is gradually decreasing, residential environment has become more poor. Residential environment is a basic element for the child safety, health, and better education. This study explored that the poor resident environment had effect on the child, figured out the situation on housing poverty of domestic child and searched the situation of the residential policy of domestic and foreign child. The main results are as follows. First, the poor resident environment of childhood has a bad effect on the physical health, mental health, academic achievement and cognitive development. Second, 1.29 million children (11.9%) are living in condition of housing poverty below minimum resident standard and are concentrated in certain areas. Third, the policy on housing poverty of domestic child is almost absent and focuses on the elderly, young people. this study discussed political and practical solutions based on these research results. On the basis of these research results, as policy suggestions we proposed housing policy making based on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, evidence-based housing policy enforcement and, residential policy suggestions under the responsibility of central government, and as practical suggestions community working as the subject and related agency's solidarity from prevention activity of housing poverty and child advocacy point and we discussed way for issue and analyzed related laws, policies, commitments.

For a realization of the ubiquitous society, applying IT to vehicle industry has recently been an attractive issue to make wireless communication in body area network possible to everywhere. In this paper, we propose the physical layer symbol structure based on PPM scheme of the IEEE 802.15.4a for the off-body high data rate WBAN system. We propose four symbol structures which is classified according to the number of the chip and whether the channel coding is used or not. We calculate the required SNR through the link budget calculation and the recently proposed off-body WBAN channel environment was applied in the simulation. The results of four systems show that small number of burst's chip enhances the performance and the system is capable to achieve the data rate of 10 Mbps.
