The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between pro-environmental consumption consciousness and resource saving behavior of university students. This research has been conducted in 2005 through a written questionnaire with the students of a university in Seoul. After a preliminary research, the main research bas been executed in number of 616 copies. The date were analyzed by statistical methods such as frequencies, precentiles, means, the standard deviations, Crobach's a coefficient, one-way ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis using SPSS statistics program. The major findings of this study were as follows. The pro-environmental consumption consciousness of the university students is the most important factor of doing resource saving behavior. The university students are the group that is going to take responsibility for a national economy and future society. Therefore, it is very important to educate them for establishing the rational consciousness of consumption in order to improve their consumption behavior and skills, because the consciousness formed in this period leads to the propensity to consume when they become adults.

As energy conservation can be realized through changes in the composition of goods and services consumed, there is a need to assess indirect and total household energy consumption. The Korean household sector was responsible for more than 55% of Korea's total energy consumption in the 1995 to 2010 period. More than 69% of household energy consumption was indirect. Thus, not only direct but also indirect household energy consumption should be the target of energy conservation. Electricity consumption became in 2009 the main source of household energy consumption in Korea. Households consume more and more electricity intensive goods and services, a sign of increasing living standards. Decrease in energy intensities of products consumed by Korean households contributed greatly to reduce the increase in the total household energy consumption. However, switching took place towards more energy intensive products, thus the structure effect was negative. It is necessary to direct consumption and production towards much less energy intensive goods and services as to reduce energy consumption or its growth rate. The Korean government should readjust low energy and electricity prices to cost-reflective prices levels as these low prices are one of the main reasons for the consumption of more energy intensive products. This study differentiates prices of oil products and electricity between households and industries, as to allow more accurate estimation.

The main purpose of this study is to figure out the spending tendency of elderly consumers for their grandchildren. To this end, a detailed survey was carried out for two months from October 1 to November 30, 2011. The respondents consist of 461 elderly consumers over 60s who have grandchildren in elementary grades. Among the gathered data, relevant information was sorted out, coded, and then turned into statistical figures through SPSS 18.0 program. The outcome of this research is explained in the following three respects. First of all, based upon factor and cluster analysis, the role of grandparents has been divided into three categories, which are a babysitter, a friend and a visitor. Depending on their role, the surveyed elderly have been split into three groups-'Friend Group', 'Formal Visitor Group', 'Attached Group'. Second, to give you an overview of the consumption trend of the three groups, this study has reviewed the expenditure items, spending amount and consumption patterns, and made a list of products and services they purchased for the past one year for their grandchildren. Third, given the probability of wealth transfer to the next generation, there is a compelling need to figure out the purchase pattern of financial products. The elderly have been categorized into those with bank deposits only and those with a mixture of bank deposits and other financial products (insurance, fund, stocks, gold, dollar etc.).

두 번에 걸친 1970년대의 오일쇼크 이후 세계 각국 특히 주요 석유소비국인 선진공업국들을 중심으로 석유소비를 줄이거나 대체 에너지원을 개발하기 위한 기술개발에 많은 노력을 경주해오고 있다. 현대 산업사회의 견인차 역할을 담당해온 주에너지원인 석유자원의 유한성을 고려해볼 때 또 다른 오일쇼크의 도래는 쉽게 예견될 수 있는 일이고 또한 석유자원의 고갈에 따라 이를 대체할 수 있는 새로운 에너지원을 확보하는 것이 급박한 현실로 다가오고 있다. (중략)

새로운 자원전쟁이후 식량무기야 말로 석유무기에 버금가는 무기로 돼 버렸다. 세계곳곳에서는 기아에 허덕이는 인구와 아사자들의 발생이 매스컴을 통해, 연일보도 되고 있다. 새삼$\ulcorner$말사스$\lrcorner$의 인구론을 비웃으며 소비가 미덕이라고 부르짓던 인간의 콧대가 무색해질 정도로 인간은 식량 위기의 심각성을 실감하고 있다. 우리도 매년 7$\~$8억불의 외화를 소비하면서 식량을 도입하여야만 하는 어려운 실정에 있다. 이러한 식량부족은 필연적으로 축산업에 문제점을 제기해주고 있다. 인간이 당장공복을 채울식량도 부족한데 이것을 가축에 먹여 단백질을 생산하여야만 할까? 우리나라 사료자원도 도입곡류의 의존도를 줄이려고 장기 축산진흥 계획을 수정한다. 새로운 축산정책에서 외곡 의존도가 높은 닭, 돼지를 감소시키겠다고 말하고 있다. 이러한 정책이 과연 바람직한 것인가?

We measure and compare inducements of energy consumption in different industry sectors using inter-industry input and output tables of 1995, 2000 and 2005. We also compute the multiplier effects that relate to the directions of future economic effects. Key Findings are as follows. First, we observe continues decreasing linkage effects in all industries over period of 1995 to 2007. Second, backward multiplier of energy consumption were highest in the material related industry and chemical industry. As for inter-industry inducements, the indirect backward multipliers were high in the other industry. Third, the forward multiplier effect of energy consumption were as same as the backward multiplier effect's sectors. The indirect forward multipliers, however, were highest in the material related industry and chemical industry. The above findings show that since implementing pro-environmental policy in 2000s, the industries structure for reducing energy consumption has been transformed.

The accelerated industrialization of Korean economy over the last couple of decades has brought an era of mass consumption of mineral commodities. This increased consumption has been satisfied mainly by imports from abroad. South Korea has about 50 useful mineral commodities for the mineral industry, among 330 kinds of minerals described. In 1988 the self-sufficiency ratio of domestic demand for 44 non-fuel(metallic and non-metallic) minerals as a whole was no more than 29 percent. The ratio for 26 non-metallic minerals was much higher, about 66 percent. On the other hand, the ratio for 18 metallic minerals was relatively very low, about 6.3 percent. The correlation between GNP and mineral consumption in South Korea shows well the slow down patterns during the last two decades.

In this study, consumption-based greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 to 2021 are calculated by the industry sector, and greenhouse gas emissions transferred due to trade between countries are compared to analyze what implications Korea has. As a result, production-based and consumption-based emissions in the United States, Germany, the EU, and the OECD are gradually decreasing. Production-based emission in Korea is larger than consumption-based emissions because Korean economic structure is import-oriented. However, unlike other developed countries, Korea cannot trade energy by land, so it can be said that it is reasonable to establish a greenhouse gas reduction plan considering Korea's unique characteristics.

환경부(장관 김은경)는 지속가능한 자원순환사회의 기반을 구축하기 위해 제정된 '자원순환기본법'을 지난 1월 1일부터 시행하고 있다. '자원순환기본법'은 순환자원 인정, 자원순환 성과관리, 제품 순환이용성평가, 폐기물처분부담금 등 제품의 생산부터 유통 소비 폐기에 이르는 전 과정에서 폐기물의 발생을 줄이고, 재활용을 촉진하기 위한 다양한 신규 제도를 담았다. 러한 제도들은 폐기물이 발생한 이후의 관리에 초점을 맞췄던 그간 국내 자원순환 정책의 기준(패러다임)을 근본적으로 바꾸기 위해 도입된 것이다. 다음에 '자원순환기본법'의 상세내용을 살펴보도록 한다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the level and major influencing factors of pro-environmental consumer consciousness and resource-saving behavior of adolescents. The research was conducted in 2007 using a written questionnaire completed by 545 male and female high-school students who reside in Seoul and Kyunggi Province. The data was analyzed using statistical methods such as frequencies, percent, means, standard deviations, Crobach's ${\alpha}$ coefficient, one-way ANOVA and multiple regression analysis using the SPSS statistics program. Major findings were as follows. The higher level background parameters for pro-environmental consumption consciousness were students who were: male in higher grades; given a higher allowance of pocket money. Likewise, a higher degree of mutual communication within their family, mass communications' contact and environmental information also showed a higher level of pro-environmental consumer consciousness.
