Yeosu Gwangyang Port, along with Busan Port, Incheon Port, Ulsan Port, and Pyeongtaek Dangjin Port, serves as Korea's top five ports for trade on the southern coast. It is the second largest port in Korea after Busan Port, and the largest port in terms of import and export volume. Yeosu Chemical Industrial Complex, the world's largest chemical industrial complex, has continued to grow rapidly, but recently, the increase in volume has been decreasing. Therefore, this study sought to find major development strategies for the development of Yeosu Gwangyang Port and to derive the priorities of the strategies. To this end, the development strategy of Yeosu Gwangyang Port was divided into three major categories: operation revitalization, infrastructure construction, and policy support using the AHP analysis technique and analyzed again in two aspects: short, medium, and long term. As a result of the analysis, 'integrated operation of container docks and strengthening competitiveness' were considered the most important in short- and medium-term policies. It is believed that it will be necessary to integrate container operators, establish routes in preparation for entry of super-large ships, and install large cranes. In the long-term policy, the most important thing was to foster high value-added industries based on local industries. It is believed that strategies are needed to attract companies from outside regions through the settlement support system. The results of this study are expected to be used to establish development strategies for Yeosu Gwangyang Port and to establish investment priorities.

Recently, recycling of the industrial by-products has been an important issue of the Yeosu bay, where large industrial complex is located. Major industrial by-products which are produced from Yeosu industrial complex area are phosphogypsum and flyash, which are about 82% and 10% of the 1.6 million tons industrial by-products. Moreover since the Yeosu industrial complex is located at seaside, phosphogypsum has been pointed as cause of serious environmental contaminant from the regional society. Therefore recycling study can't be delayed anymore. In this paper, artificial aggregate was manufactured by non-sintering process from industrial byproducts - e.g., phosphogypsum and slag - as a geotechnical drainage material. To show the feasibility of the artificial aggregate as a geotechnical drainage material, geotechnical experiments including particle size analysis, permeability test, and large scale direct shear test were carried out. Test results show that the permeability of the artificial aggregates range from $6.94{\times}10^{-1}cm/sec$ to $8.86{\times}10^{-1}cm/sec$, which is much larger value than those are required for the drainage material from the construction specification in Korea, and the friction angle of the artificial aggregate is as large as that of sand in water immersion conditions. From the test results, it was concluded that artificial aggregate made from industrial by-products can be used successfully as a geotechnical drainage material.

This study identified the physiological characteristics of Alnus firma seedlings collected from air polluted industrial complex of Yeosu area with inoculation of nitrogen-fixing nodule. A. firma individuals resistant or sensitive to air pollution stress at the study area were selected. Seeds of the individuals were sown in a pot and inoculated with the nodules collected at the same area about 3 weeks after germination. To compare the inoculation effects, photosynthesis was measured among the A. firma seedlings under 12 inoculation combinations of seed sources and nodule sources. Photosynthetic activities of seedlings from resistant mother trees were obviously higher than those from sensitive mother trees. In general, the seedlings inoculated with nodule of sensitive trees, showed a worse physiological trend on every combination. In this study, inoculation effect was less important factor than seed sources to photosynthetic activities of A. firma. This physiological characteristic seemed to be determined by seed sources rather than nodule sources.

Established in the 1960s, high pressure underground pipelines in Ulsan and Yeosu industrial estate are underground as toxic gas as well as combustible gas that is heavier than city gas and low combustion range. Especially, industrial pipelines occupy more than 20 years old pipes. In this way, the industrial estate pipeline was installed before the introduction of the supervision of construction, However, unlike the city gas pipeline, the pipeline is managed without any legal obligation. In this study, the safety management status of high pressure underground pipelines and urban gas underground pipelines in the industrial estate is analyzed and comparison of laws, extent of damage impact, using the pipe inspection model for pipe inspection of high pressure piping system with the existing piping system. it is intended to cuntribute to improving the safety of industrial estate are underground pipeline.

Environment factors related to the distribution of organic matter in surface seawater and sediments were investigated to estimate main pollution sources and range of their influence in Gwangyang Bay. The main pollution sources for the factors that affect organic matter distribution could be divided into three main sources: fresh water runoffs from Seomjin and Dong River, Gwangyang-si domestic sewage, and Yosu Industrial Complex. Considering the characteristics in horizontal distributions of the environmental factors in water column, sediment, and water current regime, the influencing range of these main sources was likely to be divided into three areas within the bay as follows: Area I receiving lots of fresh water from Seomjin River, Area II receiving lots of domestic sewage from Gwangyang-si and fresh water of Dong River, Area III receiving lots of materials from Yosu Industrial Complex. Area I seems to be characterized as low salinity, high concentration of $NO_3-N,\;and\;SiO_2-Si$, Area II as low salinity, high concentration of $NO_3-N,\;NH_4-N,\;and\;SiO_2-Si$, and Area III as high water temperature, high concentration of $NH_4-N,\;and\;PO_4-P$ in water column, high concentration of $NH_4-N,\;PO_4-P,\;and\;SiO_2-Si$ in surface sediments.

기초가 되는 제품 하나하나는 모두가 높은 풍질을 갖추고 있어야 한다. 단 하나의 부품에서라도 불량이 생긴다면 완제품은 절대 좋은 제품이 될 수 없기 때문이다. 특히 수준 높은 기술력이 요구되는 석유화학제품에서는 더욱 그렇다. 이와 관련해 기초화학제품인 카본블랙을 전문적으로 생산하고 있는 콜롬비안케미컬즈코리아(주)는 업계에서 남다른 유명세를 떨치고 있다. 여수산업단지에 위치하고 있는 콜롬비안케미컬즈코리아는 인도계 다국적 회사인 벌락카본의 전세계 17개 공장 중 하나다. 이곳은 그동안 콜롬비안이라는 미국계 다국적 기업으로 있다가 재작년부터 인도계 회사를 모기업으로 두게됐다. 하지만 회사 명칭은 그대로 남게 됐다. 콜롬비안이라는 회사 자체가 100년이 넘는 역사를 가지고 있을 정도로, 카본블랙 생산 분야에서는 세계적으로 독보적인 위치에 있었기 때문이다. 콜롬비안케미컬즈의 제품이 얼마나 큰 신뢰를 받고 있는지 알 수 있는 부분이다. 그런 가운데 콜롬비안케미컬즈코리아는 최근 안전으로도 국내에서 큰 주목을 받고 있다. 각종 위험요소가 산재해 있음에도 불구하고 2004년 8월 이후 현재까지 무재해를 이어오고 있기 때문이다. 특히 지난 5월에는 무재해 8배수를 달성했고, 이제는 9배수 달성을 눈앞에 두고 있다. 이 같은 눈부신 성과를 낼 수 있었던 원동력은 환경기술팀 김진호 부장에서 찾아볼 수 있다. 넓고 깊은 안전지식을 바탕으로 사업장의 무재해를 이끌고 있는 김진호 부장을 만났다.

산업화가 급속히 진행됨에 따라 삶의 질은 향상된 반면, 대기오염으로 인한 피해는 증가하고 있다. 대기 중 존재하는 휘발성 유기화합물 (VOCs)은 인체에 독성을 가지며 암을 유발하고, 오존의 전구물질(precursor), 광화학 스모그의 원인물질, 성층권의 오존층 파괴 및 지구온난화에도 영향을 미칠 뿐 아니라 (Derwent et al., 1996) 악취를 유발하기도 한다. 악취는 황화수소(hydrogen sulfide), 메르캅탄류(mercaptans), 아민류(amines) 등 기타 자극성 있는 기체상 물질이 사람의 후각을 자극하여 불쾌감과 혐오감을 주는 냄새로 정의되며, 주로 인체의 위해성보다는 정신적ㆍ심리적인 피해를 일으키는 감각공해라고 할 수 있다 (환경부, 2002).
