As a result, there are many scenic trails being built using wood deck. Usually certain parts of trails are built with wood deck where the path maybe too dangerous for walking or where nature needs to be protected. However wood material used for deck is easily prone to defects which can lead to safety issues. This study aims to understand the differences by materials used for wood deck and to investigate a link between different materials used and causes for defect occurrence.

Recent environmental issues such as genetically modified organisms, the loss of biodiversity, climate change, and nuclear waste cannot be reduced to a matter of science or society and explained through nature-society dualist approaches because of their complexity and heterogeneity. This paper examines how nature-society dualism has been embedded in science studies and geography and how this dualism can be overcome. Actor-Network Theory as an attempt to overcome this nature-society dualism is appropriate in analysing "strange imbriglio" of biology, politics, technoscience, market, value, ethics and facts that constitute our society by focusing on heterogeneous association, and can contribute to providing a useful framework to solve environmental problems.

The whole crisis of human being derived from environmental pollution has changed the human -centered paradigm into the ecological paradigm based on the harmony of human and nature, which have made it inevitable for designers to participate in the environmental problem-solving. In the line of this sense, it is necessary for designers to recognize the social and ethical responsibility for environmental pollution and to change into the designing for environment, not for sale itself. In accord with the context above, the purpose of this study is to suggest some clues for resolving environmental problems with the analysis of design for long-selling product, as we call, product durability analysis. That is, this study is under some assumptions that designing durable product and durable product itself are able to extend a product life cycle, delay a product disusing, reduce a rash development competition for new product among companies, mitigate consumption-oriented attitude of consumers, eliminate a waste of resources, and go far toward the environmental problem solving.

Alternative education in Korea has grown into an educational movement since the 1990s. The alternative education is affecting and growing the public education system such as innovative schools, free semester systems, and high school credit systems. In 2021, an institutional foundation was also established to be recognized and supported as an educational institution. As a result of reflecting on the alternative education movement for 20 years, it is understood as stagnant lost time in the second half of the decade. It is discussing reorganizing the meaning of future-oriented "alternatives" with the new "alternatives". The poverty of educational philosophy has also been highlighted as an issue, but no special discussions have been underway. Thus, the study discussed to propose an educational philosophy that could capture the ideologies of alternative education. Critical pedagogy aims to foster human beings who are subjective, autonomous, active and self-reliant through conscious emancipation. In recent years, critical pedagogy have discussed ecological environment and feminism. The educational philosophy of scholars such as Freire and Illich was the basis of the early alternative educational movement. Considering this, the study discusses that Korea's alternative education movement can be understood through critical education and is reasonable as an educational philosophy for new alternatives in the future.

본 논문의 목적은 대순의 '제생의세'와 도교의 '제인도세(濟人度世)', '신국동치(身國同治)' 사상과의 연관성을 살펴보고, 그것의 현대적 의의를 밝히는데 있다. 특히 대순의 '제생의세' 사상은 중국 명나라시기 도사인 민일득(閔一得)이 저술한 『고서은루장서(古書隱樓藏書)』에 나오는 '즉신의세' 사상과 많은 유사점이 발견된다. 대순진리회 역시 도교와 마찬가지로 몸과 나라를 같이 다스리는 사상을 통해 내단 수련법을 제시하였으며, 내법(內法)을 외적으로 사용하는 방법을 통하여 제생의세의 목적을 달성하고자 하였다. 삼대목적을 실현하는 요결(要訣)을 보면, 그것은 곧 천지와 심신의 조화와 안정을 이루는 것이라는 것을 알 수 있다. 즉 대순사상은 도교의 '신국동치' 철학을 바탕으로 하고 있다. 또한 대순진리회와 민일득의 '신국동치' 사상의 이론적 배경에는 유불도 '삼교병용(三敎倂用)', '삼교동수(三敎同修)' 사상이 깃들어 있음을 볼 수 있다. 대순의 '제생의세' 사상과 도교의 '즉신의세' 사상은 모두 현실사회에서 자신의 몸을 잘 다스리는 것을 통하여 세상을 이롭게 한다는 교리를 담고 있다. 양자 모두 사회의 병폐를 충분히 인식한 후, 인간과 인간, 인간과 자연, 인간의 내면과 외면의 관계개선을 통하여 인간과 세상을 다스리려 하였다. 이러한 그들의 인간과 자연에 대한 견해는 매우 큰 특색이 있으며, 시대를 초월한 사상이라 할 수 있다. 21세기 과학기술이 고도로 발달한 현대사회에서, '의세(醫世)' 사상이 나타내는 인간에 대한 관심, 사회와 생태계에 대한 윤리의식은 중요한 시대적 가치를 지닌다. 이들은 사회의 발전에 적응하면서 시대적 요구에 맞춰 탄생된 종교사상이다. 이는 사회적 폐단을 해결하고 인간과 인간, 인간과 자연, 인간의 내면과 외면의 조화를 이루고자 하는 관점을 포함하고 있으므로 중요한 현실적 가치를 지니고 있다.
