Today, because the international community recognized happing of environmental crisis on the world the international environmental agreements and advanced country's environmental regulations are very tight. Especially, port cities are posed strong threats to the environment due to receiving high pollution from ships and cargo vehicle emissions. So many advanced country (ex. United States, Japan, EU) implement Natural-friendly Port Policy and Program. Environmental-Regulations become more stringent in the future, management of low carbon dioxide emissions brings the competitiveness.(중략)

Carbon productivity is an efficiency concept, well suited to maximizing product/service(economic) value of firms and minimizing environmental impact($CO_2$ emissions). This study investigates the causal relationship between carbon productivity (eco-efficiency) and financial performance in Korean firms. The result shows that firms improving carbon productivity are able to gain superior financial performance. The analysis also show that changes in financial performance have a positive impact on the improvement of carbon productivity. However this study reports that carbon productivity does not have a long-run impact on financial performance and vice versa. Finally, the results also show that differences exist in the relationship between carbon productivity and financial performance when grouped by industry characteristics.

With increasing interest in alternative energy source for green growth, this document shows that the study of kite flight control is based on the concept of autonomous flight of kite can exploit the energy. Currently, prototype kite was designed and the purpose of its flight test, by manual flight control with Remote Controller, was performed for the feasibility of the full automatic flight control. For the future research, the test data should be collected through the many flight test under various environment.

In the 21st yearly session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 21) of the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference, held in Paris, France, in December 2015, the "Paris Agreement" was negotiated; this is a new global agreement on the reduction of climate change, which encourages every country to participate in countermeasures for global climate change. Along with such movements, the electric railway sector has also been actively engaged in low carbon technology. This paper studied the building of a 1.5MW photovoltaic power generation system using the rooftop of the Gwangmyeong Station Building, which is the largest roof among the high-speed railway station buildings in Korea; this station has passenger traffic that reached about 7 million in 2014. For this study, we configured an optimized photovoltaic (PV) power generation system and then estimated the expected annual energy production by using PV system software; we also calculated the expected revenue that could be obtained by linking this source to the power distribution system. The obtained data were used to analyze the contribution of low-carbon energy that could be obtained by introducing a PV power generation system on the roof of an electric railway station building.

그간의 성과와 과제 : 2012년은 우리 정부가 저탄소 녹색성장을 새로운 국가발전 비전으로 선언하고 환경과 경제가 상생하는 사회로의 전환을 위해 다양한 정책을 적극적으로 추진한지 5년차를 맞이하는 해이다. 그동안 우리나라는 녹색성장을 국제적인 화두로 제시하고 온실가스의 자발적 감축목표 발표, G-20 정상회의 개최 등을 통해 국제사회에서 향후 인류의 발전방향을 제시하는 주도적인 역할을 수행하는 국가로서 위상을 높여 왔고, 국내적으로는 4대강 사업 등을 통해 기후변화에 대한 대응능력을 높이고 세계적인 금융 경제 위기 속에서도 안정적인 성장을 지속하는 성과를 거두었다. 환경적인 측면에서도 2007년과 비교하여 수도권 미세먼지 농도를 $58{\mu}g/m^3$에서 2011년에는 $50{\mu}g/m^3$으로 개선하고, 상수도 보급률과 하수도 보급률의 경우에도 2007년 각각 92.1%, 87.1%에서 2011년에는 94.5%, 90.3%로 제고하는 성과를 거두었다. 그러나, 세계적 경기 침체로 인해 국민들이 녹색성장의 성과를 체감하는 데에는 한계가 있었던 것이 사실이며, 4대강 사업이 소기의 목표를 달성하기 위해서는 변화된 환경에 맞는 수질관리시스템을 차질 없이 마련 시행하고, 도시에 비해 낮은 농어촌의 상하수도 보급률과 서비스 수준을 제고하는 등 여전히 해결해야 할 과제들 또한 상존하고 있는 것이 사실이다.

Ecotourism is regarded as an important alternative tourism for regional development and conservation of nature by country or international organization. The environmental importance were given priority by all the countries. The purpose of this study includes; (1) To identify the ecotourism definition. (2) To report the ecotourism development plan by the case study of ecotourism.

본 연구에서는 IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) 6차 평가보고서(6th Assessment Report, AR6)에서 제시한 새로운 온실가스 경로(SSP, Shared Socioeconomic Pathways)에 따라 산출된 전지구 기후변화 시나리오를 이용하여 제주도의 미래 강수량 변화를 살펴보고자 한다. 기상청에서 운영하는 기후정보포털(http://www.climate.go.kr/)에서는 6가지 기상요소(평균기온, 최고기온, 최저기온, 강수량, 상대습도, 풍속 등)에 대하여 SSP 시나리오 자료를 제공하고 있다. SSP 시나리오는 SSP1-2.6 저탄소 시나리오(사회 불균형의 감소와 친환경 기술의 빠른 발달로 기후변화 완화, 적응능력이 좋은 지속성장가능 사회경제 구조)와 SSP5-8.5 고탄소 시나리오(기후정책 부재, 화석연료 기반 성장과 높은 인적 투자로 기후변화 적응능력은 좋지만 완화능력이 낮은 사회경제 구조)로 구분되어 제공되고 있다. 또한, 현재의 기후 상태를 모의하는 historical period (1850-2014) 자료와 미래의 기후상태를 모의한 future period (2015-2100) 자료가 있으며, 월별(momthly), 연간(yearly) 자료의 형태로 제공된다. 본 연구를 통하여 새로운 SSP 시나리오를 이용한 제주도 강수량의 미래 변화를 정량적으로 분석하였고, 기후변화에 능동적인 대책을 수립하는데 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

Due to the recent emergence of global warming concerns, the UN has made the issue of climate change its top priority. Accordingly, Korea has announced a new national master plan titled, 'Participation in global efforts in climate change through -Low Carbon, Green Growth-'. As part of the plan, the constructions of bicycle path networks are being pushed forward. Although the building of bicycle paths and infrastructure is being implemented, little consideration has been given for bicycle path signage. This essay is the study of methodology in the installation of signs on bicycle paths. The research includes a theoretical study of the standard and installation position of signs with consideration of the geometry of bicycles as well issues such as the distance required for the bicyclist to recognize and understand the road sign and to take actions like stopping, In addition, experimental verification of the test results has been carried out. Also, the test on height of signs by changing the installation heights according to a bicyclist's forward vision angle has been conducted.

This paper compared historical energy use from 2000 between Japan and Korea and reviewed literature of mid-and long-term low carbon energy scenarios and plans in both countries released since 2000. In terms of energy use pattern, there are similarities between Korea and Japan; high dependence on energy imports, high proportion of manufacturing industry among OECD countries, closed electricity system disconnected with foreign countries, and high proportion of nuclear power generation with low proportion of renewable electricity despite of high potential of renewable energy. Differences are as follows; decreasing trend in Japan and increasing trend in Korea in terms of energy demand and supply, difficulty of exchanging electricity between regions in Japan unlike Korea, and prospect of nuclear power, that is, curtailing in Japan while expanding in Korea according to governmental plan. Energy Basic Plan in both countries established before nuclear accident in Fukushima required expanding about two times of nuclear energy by 2030, while civil society's energy scenarios suggested reducing energy demand, phasing-out nuclear power, and expanding renewable energy. This paper will serve as a base for future studies about long-term energy scenarios and plan in Japan and Korea.

The climate change and global warming has been a world-wide issue. Also, the green growth has been a widely adopted strategy for national and regional development. In particular, after the Kyoto Protocol to United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change was declared, the low carbon society was inevitable phenomenon. The hydrologic cycle in urban catchment has been changed due to the expansion of impervious area by rapid urban development. This paper has examined the Water cycle planning elements for green city in the scale of urban planning as well as site planning including housing site. In this study, the SWMM5-LID (Storm Water Management Model5-LID) model was used to simulate the hydrologic cycle of the test catchment as a typical urban catchment. We performed continuous simulation on urban runoff before and after the development of the test catchment and after the installation of Green city planning Elements.
