The purpose of this research was to propose policy directions for the design and construction of nature-friendly park facilities (PF) in national parks. In order to do that, nature-friendliness evaluation indicators(NEIs) used in green building rating systems and related articles were reviewed. After the initial literature review was complete, NEIs for park facilities based on location, design, construction, operation, and management sectors were developed. Data was obtained through a questionnaire completed by 79 managers at 19 national parks in Korea in 2008. The answers were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods, a t-test, a multi-dimensional analysis, and a factor analysis. This research found that: 1) The results indicated that based on relative weight calculation, the location condition was evaluated as the most important; 2) The evaluation results regarding the degree of nature-friendliness of park facilities showed that location condition was ranked higher than design and construction--in addition, the evaluated values of indicators related to energy efficiency were ranked the lowest; 3) the level of nature-friendliness of shelter was given the highest level, but resting facility was the lowest level; 4) Overall, park facilities at Mt. Seorak, Mt. Odae, and Taean Coast national parks showed high levels of nature-friendliness. But park facilities at Mt. Gyeongju and Mt. Songni national parks showed low levels of nature-friendliness. The results of this research shall contribute to the establishment of tailor-made management policies, the development of detailed guidelines for increased energy efficiency and visitor satisfaction, and the preservation of ecosystems and natural resources in Korea's national parks.

Environment-friendly design becomes one of the main issues of the contemporary design. It has been developed with the advent of the organic view of the wend. It started as the environment-protective orientation and then enlarged its boundary including the designs which aims to revive the organic relationship between human and nature. Recent design approach in environment design emphasizes to be 'synchronized with the nature' and its basic attitude is the revival of the right relationship between man and nature. It also can be described as the design for Green Amenity. This paper researches on the concepts, types and the roles of the environmentally-friendly design. There are two basic concepts : one is environment-protective attitude and the other is the attitude which emphasizes the function of Green Amenity. This paper focuses on the latter approach. Through the analysis of the necessity and the function of the environmentally-friendly design, it aims to prove the fact that valuable human life need the design which connects human life aye with natural environment.

최근 우리나라의 많은 하천에서 자연 친화적 하천정비가 이루어지고 있으며, 이를 위한 하천정비기법들 역시 다양하게 소개되고 있다. 다양한 기법들은 대상하천이 가지고 있는 특성을 충분히 고려하여 자연 친화적 하천정비를 추진하자는 데 그 근거를 두고 있다. 이에 따라 하천을 구성하고 있는 지형학적 요소와 그 구조 안에서 흐름이 갖는 수리학적 특성, 그리고 하천에서 서식하는 생태학적 조건과 현상들에 대한 분석을 통한 연구가 친자연적인 하천을 조성하기 위한 토대로서 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 제방 또는 하안을 유수에 의한 파괴와 침식으로부터 보호하는 역할을 하는 호안에 대한 평가기법을 수리학적, 생태학적 관점에서 연구하였다. 호안은 제방 및 하안의 수리적 안정성을 담보하기 위해 시공되는 하천구조물이며, 그로 인해 자연 생태계와의 조화로부터 이탈될 수 있는 가능성이 높은 구조물이다. 그러므로 자연 친화적 하천정비를 위한 호안의 평가는 반드시 생태적 요소들을 고려하여야 한다. 따라서 본 연구는 자연 친화적 하천정비를 위한 호안의 평가지표 및 기법의 개발에 대한 선행연구로서 현장조사지점 선정과 선정된 조사지점의 세부조사항목들을 활용한 평가방법을 모색하였다. 이는 향후 하천의 호안설계 및 시공을 위한 가이드라인 제시를 위한 초석으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

최근 환경적 기능을 중요시하는 시대적 흐름에 맞추어 친환경적으로 하천의 정비가 이루어지고 있다. 하천에서 호안은 생태학적인 측면에서 볼 때 하천을 중심으로 한 생활영역을 가지는 생물에게 육역과 수역의 연결부로서 추이대(ecotone)의 기능을 담당하고 있어 그 중요성은 이루 말할 수 없다. 그럼에도 불구하고 실제 자연친화적 하천정비에서 조차 호안공법의 선정은 객관적인 자료와 평가기법의 부재로 하천의 환경특성을 고려하지 못한 채 무분별하고 획일적인 공법으로 시공이 이루어지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 향후 자연친화적 하천공사 시 시공하천의 특성을 고려한 호안공법의 선정이 객관적이고 합리적으로 이루어질 수 있도록 기존의 호안평가지표 및 기법을 수정 제안하였다. 제안된 호안평가기법의 평가항목은 안정성, 환경성 그리고 친수 어메니티이다. 금번 연구에서 제안한 호안평가기법의 적용을 위하여 전국의 하천을 대상으로 사전조사를 실시한 후 호안평가의 적용이 용이한 91개 하천을 선정하여 현장조사를 실시하였다. 그리고 조사를 통해 확보한 호안 자료는 호안평가기법을 이용하여 호안의 안정성, 환경성 그리고 친수 어메니티에 대한 평가가 이루어졌으며, 제안된 호안평가기법은 호안 및 하천의 특성을 적절히 반영함을 확인 할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 확보된 자료는 향후 생태적 측면을 고려한 하천정비의 방향제시 등의 기대효과를 가져올 수 있으리라 생각되며, 호안공법 선정을 위한 호안평가기법 개발의 기초자료로 유용하게 활용될 것으로 사료된다.

Contemporary human beings have tendency to orient themselves to a natural environment while they have adapted themselves to artificial surroundings, which implies that a development of interior space where man, nature and space are in a sympathetic harmony with one another through overcoming non-naturalness and non-humanization is seriously needed. There are two methods in that; one concerns an introduction of environment-friendly expressions into the interior space as its natural factor, and the other involves expressing natural objects or beauties with orderly change commonly seen around in form of artificial design. On this study, the definition of ″Environment-friendliness″ and how it has evolved itself with time are first considered to search out for environment-friendly characteristics in the interior design. And then, among the characteristics of environment$.$friendly expressions widely observed in the interior space, the two aspects are studied for our purpose; an introduction of natural factors and an expression with artificial design. For the study, public facilities located in Ulsan were proposed since they accommodated lots of people. To meet the needs of the times that the development of environment-friendly space should reflect the factors of beauty and comfort enough to live in, relevant studies should be more activated and specialized. When there are a wide understanding of and a profound work upon introducing natural factors as well as ones of sound design into the interior space, a desirable environment-friendly expression could be created.

In the area of such a nature-friendly stream improvement, it is not established yet which engineering method is suitable for stream environment, due to lack of technology. Therefore, although nature-friendly stream improvement was done with expensive engineering method, the effect has not been fully confirmed, which results from the absence of overall valuation tool of stream improvement. In this regard, it is necessary to develop and apply comprehensive and diverse valuation methods covering stream functions to the analysis of stream improvement. In this study, we collected data from years' of monitoring on the Gyeongcheon river, which is located in Sunchang-eup, Jeollabuk-do and recently underwent an nature-friendly stream improvement work. Based on the data, we developed a series of valuation methods such as stream naturalness evaluation, life cycle evaluation, amenity evaluation, and economic benefit analysis to consider the environmental function of stream from a comprehensive perspective. Stream naturalness evaluation is a quantitative analysis of how natural a stream is, and includes additional valuation items such as ecosystem and water quality for the purpose of overall valuation, unlike existing research focusing on physical elements and structural characteristics of a stream. We developed a method of stream valuation with life cycle assessment to river reorganization project. Amenity evaluation method was developed as a means to analyze residents' satisfaction with stream improvement through questionnaires. Economic benefit analysis was developed as a means to determine the attributes of environmental water supply, ecosystem, river maintenance, and water quality and predict economic benefits using contingent valuation method (CVM) and multi-attribute utility analysis (MAUA) method in order to analyze economic benefits brought in by stream improvement. It is considered that the four methods developed in this study make possible to conduct an overall and quantitative analysis of stream improvement.

Jeung Wan-yeong expresses his perception of hometown in two ways. First, it is a nature-friendly pastoral place. His geographical hometown, a nature-friendly pastoral place, is Gimcheon; he produced many works in which he longed for nature in the place. These works have a large amount of lyric, pastoral, and bucolic contents, without any conflict, on the basis of peace, longing, and Oriental nature-friendly thought. Second, the hometown perceived by Jeung Wan-yeong is a rest place for both ancestors and descendants. According to his definition, 'Hometown is a village where the living and the dead coexist: Longing for a hometown immediately may be that for parents, and is often expressed as that for siblings and old friends. In other words, a hometown is a place where there are ancestors' graves, and parents, siblings, and relatives; in Jeung Wan-yeong's works where it is perceived as a place with memories for them. the hometown has eternal maternity.

Sociological, technical, and organizational changes have affected the culture of business in many ways. These changes are now encouraging new concepts in the workplace environment such as emotional approaches for a more creative and humanistic workplace let alone enhancing image of the company. The aim of this study is to understand current situations of common office areas and serve as a stepping stone for designing more creative and stimulating work environments. The study first examines concepts of new office designs in our modem society, then defines categories such as territorial fuzziness, eco-friendly, fun and play. Secondly, by using content analysis as research tool the researchers have investigated how the conceptual categories and detailed design presentation methods are shown in workplace designs in Korea. Scope of study is limited to 39 office design projects from 2002-2008 presented in the Korean monthly magazine 'Interiors'. As results. territorial fuzziness was found to be most popular method while play the least. For application wise, meeting rooms, rest area and hallways were places where these concepts appear the most. Even though, these new approaches in office designs can be found in our domestic offices, still more experimental and active approach seems to be needed.
