This paper is to explore the cross-border interactions and the formation of trans-boundary regional identity in the Swiss-German-French border region. It begins with a brief review of recent studies on 'boundary and border region', in order to gain a insight into the theoretical debates on this theme and to find out ideal types of the cross-border co-operations. And then it deals with the everyday cross-border movements(working, shopping, living) in 'Regio TriRhena', discussing the development of the trans-boundary co-operations in the EuroRegion 'Upper Rhine'. There are several committees to be defined in trans-boundary co-operation on the 'Upper Rhine', with different scopes of action, structured collectively like Russian dolls(Babushka principle). The economic differences between 3 countries trigger massive cross-border movements. This paper attempts to organize these cross-border interactions around Ullman's 3 bases for spatial interaction(complementarity, transferability, intervening opportunity). In conclusion, this paper shows that the elimination of economic obstacles does not suffice to create trans-boundary identity or a trans-border common regional spirit.

1990년 동북아 23개 지역의 이산화황 총배출량은 14.7백만톤이었다. 이중 중국동북부가 81%, 한국이 12%, 일본이 5%, 그리고 북한이 2%를 배출하였다. 기본시나리오하에서 동북아지역의 이산화황 배출은 2020년에 40.5백만톤에 이를 것으로 추정되고 있다. 중국에서 배출된 장거리 월경성 대기오염물질은 한반도와 일본으로 이동하며 특히 산성강우는 중국으로부터의 이산화황 배출에 크게 영향을 받고 있다. 산성강우는 자연생태계와 농작물에 피해를 줄 뿐 아니라 인간의 건강에도 심각한 피해를 준다. 따라서 미래의 산성강우 피해를 줄이기 위해서는 자국뿐 아니라 인접국의 이산화황 및 질소산화물 배출도 함께 감소되어야 한다. 동북아지역 국가들은 경제발전단계 및 환경협력 논의에서의 우선순위가 다르기 때문에 가까운 시일내에 환경협력을 위한 다자간 협약을 체결하기는 어려울 것이다. 따라서 ESCAP, APEC 등 기존의 지역협력기구를 이용하거나 IBRD, ADB 등의 다자간 외부금융기관이나 공적개발원조 (ODA) 등을 통해 개선된 환경기준을 준수하도록 하고 지역환경개선을 위한 협력사업을 추진하는 것이 바람직하다. 또한 산성비와 관련한 동북아 환경협력은 과학적 조사를 통해 객관적이고 신뢰할만한 정보를 획득하는 것으로부터 시작하여 단계적으로 추진되어야 하며, 정치, 경제, 과학, 외교 등 여러 분야에 걸쳐 중앙정부 뿐만 아니라 지방정부와 NGO도 포함하는 다차원적, 포괄적으로 추진되어야 한다.

The main purpose of this paper is to review the research on the border region, especially herein to consider theoretical models critically and then to gain the implication for appropriate analytical framework or rather theoretical model on the basis of the findings. Through the review of various literature, major finding are as follows. First, the term of border or frontier was used in a rather ambiguous way. Second, the early models in the border region research have been developed to explain barrier effects, of which the border was considered to playa role. However, as border regions change from the closed regions to the opened ones, more adequate models have accordingly been developed. Third, there were several attempts to typify border regions and they tend to focus on the issue of regional development of the regions. Fourth, according to the case studies of the border region research, many border regions are not in isolation or peripheral position any more. Rather they are transformed into potentially prosperous regions through the support of authority as well as inter-regional cooperation.

The Japanese government's attempts to reduce fine particles (PM2.5) emission pollution in Japan have been largely ineffective. This is because PM2.5 in Japan originated from various sources including around half from oversea countries such as China. This prompts the Japanese government to start a new initiative to reduce PM2.5 at its origin by transferring local knowledge on air pollution reduction measures and technologies to China and working closely with the Chinese government. To promote further reduction in PM2.5, bilateral corporation between Japan and China should be extended to include Korea. It is recommended that an international convention should be in place to deal with transboundary air pollutants in East Asia. A successful East Asia corporation to reduce PM2.5 will not only contribute to clean air but also to future sustainable low carbon society in this region.

영국 던로프는 요즈음 타이어가 빵꾸나도 주행할 수 있는 안전한 타이어 "토오탈모오빌리티 타이어"의 개발에 성공한 뜻을 발표했다. 이 타이어의 구조를 간단히 말하면 타이어가 빵꾸났을 경우 타이어안의 모종의 연골류가 빵꾸 구멍을 막아 버리는 역할을 하고 또한 특별한 림과의 콤비로 타이어가 림으로부터 빠지는 일 없이 고속주행을 단속할 수가 있는 것- 이란 것이다. 물론 전세계에는 많은 타이어 메이커가 있어서 수다한 여러가지의 타이어의 연구를 행하고 있으며 과거허다한 신제품이 세상에 나왔으나 "이번의 토오탈, 모오빌리티 타이어는 공기입 타이어, 튜우브래스 타이어, 라디알 타이어의 개발까지도 능가할 만큼의 혁명적 개발이라고 할 수가 있을 테지요"라고 동사에서는 설명. 이에는 작년 동사와 합병한 이태리의 피레리이사의 협력에 힘입은 바도 크다고 부언하고 있다. 또한 동타이어는 아직 시작성공의 단계이지만 1년반후에는 완전화 시판도 예정, 2년후에는 양산화의 체제도 갖추고저 하고 있다. 또한 이에 대해 일본의 제휴회사인 가우 고무에선 "국산화의 용의도 있으며 가능하면 금년 4월경 영국던로프로부터의 수입 타이어로 공개 테스트도 해 보고저 한다"는 지를 말하고있다.

The Yellow sea, as described in article 123 of UNCLOS, is semi-enclosed sea surrounded by the Republic of Korea, the People's Republic of China and North Korea. In addition, the Yellow Sea is one of the 66 large marine ecosystems as it contains large amounts of marine resources. According to article 194 of UNCLOS, states should be aware of rights and duties with respect to the protection and preservation of the marine environment to be engaged with countries directly as regional entity or indirectly. Therefore, the legal blank is urgent in terms of trans-boundary environmental pollutant issues. The UNDP has conducted a project called Yellow Sea Large Marine Ecosystem (YSLME) which has reached the 2^nd phase. The project has some notable achievements, namely performing joint activities on analysis of diagnostic trans-boundary issues in collaboration with China and South Korea, developing a strategic action plan based on TDA, and establishing regional strategic action plan. However, on the other hand, the project could not reflect the full participation of North Korea as a state party. As a result, the project has a limitation on effective implementation of RSAP. Therefore, this study focuses on the suggestion of a legally-binding trilateral treaty as a blue print for the next, 3^rd phase of the project. By analyzing the best practice of the Wadden Sea Trilateral Treaty case, the study verifies the validity of legislative measures on establishing and managing a legally-binding trilateral YSLME Commission. By suggesting a three phase treaty, incorporating a joint declaration by establishing the commission, the signing of the treaty, and formulating an umbrella convention and implementation arrangement, the study expects to guarantee the consistency and sustainability of the trilateral treaty regardless of political issues pertaining to North Korea.

동북아지역에서는 최근 산업화와 도시화로 인하여 많은 개발행위가 이루어져 왔으며, 그에 따라 개발과 환경적 결과와의 관계가 주목을 받기 시작했다. 선진국에서는 이미 이러한 관계에 있어 환경적요소가 의사결정단계에서부터 고려될 수 있도록 제도적 보완이 이루어져 왔으나 동 지역에서는 그간 이에 대한 대응이 미비했던 것이 사실이다. 이러한 관점에서, 동 연구는 동북아지역에서의 환경영향평가의 비교를 통한 상호 제도의 이해증진을 위해 수행되었다. 특히, 본 연구의 목적은 골프장 조성사업에 대한 환경영향평가를 수행함에 있어 중점평가항목과 운영 측면에서의 양국간 환경영향평가를 비교함으로써 향후 양국간에 월경성 환경협력 기반을 마련하는데 있다. 연구의 주요 결과는 첫째, 환경영향평가항목 측면에서 한국의 경우 지형 지질, 동 식물상, 토지이용, 수질, 토양, 소음 진동, 위락 경관, 교통 등8개의 중점평가 항목을 설정하여 다소 항목수가 많고 내용적으로는 체계와 형식을 중시하고 있는 반면, 중국의 경우에서는 지하수, 지표수, 생태계 등3개의 중점평가 항목을 설정하여 항목 수는 적으나 비교적 구체적이고 현실 상황을 잘 반영하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 운영상 측면에서 한국의 골프장 환경영향평가서는 수질, 생태계 훼손 등을 강조하고 있는 반면, 중국은 도로사면 훼손, 경관, 수질 등에 초점을 두고 있어 양국의 골프장 조성에 있어 환경에 미치는 주요영향 요소선정에 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

This study analyzed the influence of domestic and Chinese factors on fine dust(PM10 & PM2.5) in Korea by using the panel quantile regression. Daily analysis was conducted for 11 regions in Korea. For domestic factors, electricity demand and traffic volume, and for Chinese factors, interaction term of Chinese three cities' fine dust and the domestic west wind are used. As a result, the influence of domestic factors was different when the domestic fine dust concentration was high and low. When the fine dust concentration was low, electricity demand had a positive effect only on PM2.5, and didn't affect PM10 in the national analysis. In regional analysis, the amount of electricity demand had a significant effect on fine dust and ultrafine dust only in the capital area and Chungcheong. Electricity demand was found to significantly increase both PM2.5 and PM10 when it was high. On the other hand, it was confirmed that the Chinese factor always had a significant effect regardless of the concentration of PM10 and PM2.5. Therefore, in order to solve the problem of high concentration of fine dust, in addition to international cooperation, the reduction of PM2.5 generated by domestic thermal power generation should also be strengthened compared to the present.
