This research proposes a new approach to measure corporate contributions to sustainability called Sustainable Value. With some global corporations which recognize the seriousness of environmental crisis and their social responsibility, enterprises are positively accepting the sustainable management. Also, publication of the sustainability report is proliferating which is showing the enterprise's strategy, activity, result and influence in environmental, economic, social cases to the stakeholder. However, to settle and proliferate this current, it rests with how to evaluate enterprises sustainability in reasonable and reliable figure. In this context, what introduced and taking effects are sustainability report evaluation and awarding system. But the quality of sun stainability report and its content's depth and the evaluation of enterprise's sustainability itself should be distinguished. Because the enterprise which published excellent graded sustainability report is not always the enterprise that is sustainable. Then, how could we prove the result of enterprise's sustainable management based on sustainability report? This paper is to find the answer and to utilize it based on sustainability report, particularly sustainable value model as the central figure.

To evaluate the sustainability assessment of eco-tourism resources, the assessment of Upo wetland was conducted by defining mathematical assessment models, by developing assessment indicators and by calculating the weight of main factors affecting on the sustainability through questionnaires analysis of 135 eco-tourism experts group. After that, the current sustainability grade level for Upo wetland was confirmed, and grade-level enhancement measures on each items were proposed. Although, this paper was focused on Upo wetland, but it is meaningful to prepare for the foundation in the sense of assessing scientifically and systematically the sustainability by providing concrete research model and method for the sustainability assessment of eco-tourism resources.

In accordance with the environmental changes that surrounds the port, there seems to be a trend of increasing interest in a sustainable development and operation of port. Considering that sustainability assessment utilizing Triple Bottome Line(TBL) has been conducted actively in various fields of research, it is essential to evaluate port sustainability including not only economic aspect but also social as well as environmental ones. In this regard, this study aims to measure the relative importance of port sustainability index using AHP. Moreover, sustainability of Korean four major ports has been tested by adopting the newly developed index in this study. From the results, it can be concluded that in addition to securing high value cargoes, increasing efficiency of port operation and infrastructure together with capital investment are essential. Growth harmonized with surrounding area of port and environment-friendly port operation should not be disregarded.

본 연구는 도시 및 지역의 지속가능성을 측정하고 평가하기 위한 수단으로 요구되는 ‘지표’의 개발방법과 절차를 설정하는데 목적이 있다. 사례지역으로 미국의 잭슨빌, 시애틀, 오레건 지역을, 지표개발을 위한 방법론으로서는 Maclaren의 이론을 분석하였다. 분석을 통하여 지속가능성 지표는 단순한 평가수단이 아니라 그 개발과정을 통해 시민그룹의 지속가능한 발전에 대한 인식을 제고함과 동시에 구성원의 협력과 노력에 입각하여 미래지향적인 새로운 공동체를 만들어 나가는 강력한 매개체가 될 수 있다는 시사점을 추출하였다. 이를 토대로 지속가능성 도시지표 개발절차를, \circled1 지표개발 주체 형성 \circled2 목표 및 비전의 정립 \circled3지표개발에 따른 기본방침의 설정 \circled4 지표개발을 위한 측정 및 분석 \circled5 예비지표의 발굴과 지표선택기준 마련 \circled6 예비지표 평가를 통한 최종지표의 선택 \circled7 지표에 대한 측정 및 분석 \circled8 지표분석 결과 보고 및 발표 \circled9 지표작업평가 및 새로운 목표 수립 등 9단계로 설정하였다. 본 연구가 제시한 지속가능성 도시지표 개발절차는 우리 나라의 지역 및 도시단위에서 지속가능성 도시지표를 설정하는데 준거로 활용될수 있을 것이다.

Wind power has been rapidly growing over last decade in the world as well as in South Korea as a feasible renewable energy source. Providing sustainable energy to all while securing environmental sustainability requires evidence based policy making and innovative solutions. Through analysis of 58 cases of South Korean Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report, this paper seeks to identify answers to the following two questions. What are the key characteristics for inland windfarm? Is there a way of measuring environmental sustainability to compare each location to reduce negative environmental impact? Variables related to environmental sustainability of each windfarm case were collected from EIA report and the factor analysis of environmental variables was conducted to calculate the weight for each variable to build environmental sustainability index (ESI) to provide as evidence-based tools for decision making on the location of inland windfarm. 58 cases were categorized as three types 1) Mountain type 2) Ranch Type and 3) Coastal Type depending on their height and degree of naturalness. For analytical research, first, it was successfully calculated environmental sustainability of each windfarm case ranging from 1.04 (#33, Ranch type) to -1.44 (#55, Mountain type). Second, the analysis results showed that ranch type is most environmentally sustainable (Average ESI = 0.4551), followed by coastal type (Ave ESI = 0.3712) and lastly mountain type (Average ESI = -0.3457). These findings are consistent with the previous researches on inland windfarms and provides substantive policy implication on the renewable energy policies.

본 논문은 네덜란드의 지속가능성 평가(Sustainability Assessment, SA)에 있어 몇몇 최근의 진전을 토의한다. 효율적인 지속가능성 평가를 위한 몇몇 요소들의 강조에 초점을 둔다. SA는 현재로서는 복잡하지만 필수 구성요소이다. 이는 개발의 가능한 방향에 관한 토의의 질을 향상시키고, 대안들 결론 비용 및 이득에 가중치를 둠으로서 종종 국민을 위해 보다 투명한 정책결정의 복잡한 과정을 구성함을 통해 정책 결정의 민주적 질에 기여하는데 중대한 잠재력을 지닌다. 현재 네덜란드에서 SA에 관한 주요 도전은 아직은 산만하지만 포괄적이고 보다 널리 사용되는 도구로 만드는 것이다.

본 연구에서는 수자원 지속가능성 지수(WRSI)를 금강유역에 적용하여 소유역별 수자원 지속가능성을 평가하였다. WRSI의 적용을 위하여 금강유역을 주요 계측지점의 위치와 자료수집의 용이성을 고려하여 27개의 소유역으로 분할하였다. WRSI 산정의 효율성과 정확성을 확보하기 위하여 소유역별 사회, 경제, 환경과 관련된 통계자료에 대한 GIS 주제도를 구축하였다. WRSI를 구성하는 지표들의 표준화는 적정확률분포형을 적합도 검정을 실시한 후 초과확률을 산정하는 방법을 적용하였다. WRSI를 이용하여 금강유역의 소유역별 수자원 지속가능성 지수를 산정한 결과, 금강유역의 소유역별 수자원 지속가능성 지수는 하류에 위치한 유역들보다 상류에 위치한 유역들이 큰 값을 나타냈다. 수자원 지속가능성 지수의 지표들간의 상관관계를 분석하기 위하여 상관분석을 실시한 결과, 사회적 공평성 세부지수를 구성하는 지표들과 유지관리 능력 세부지수를 구성하는 지표들간의 상관성이 높은 결과를 나타냈다.

The paper has its focus on comparative appraisal of sustainable development in korean metropolises. In reference to OECD, UNCSD, PCSD and BBR indicator lists, somewhat transformed 14 themes and 42 quantitative indicators were chosen in economic, social and environmental sector. In next step, for the standardization of the indicators the own value of each Metropolis was relatively appraised based on the mean value of each indicator of the metropolises. If necessary, the indicator which has negative characteristics was transformed into positive scale so as to compare all of the indicators with same scale direction. As a result, it was found out that Seoul and Ulsan, highly concentrated in specific economic sector, reveals high level of sustainable development in economic sector but not in environmental sector. Kwangju is diametrically opposed to the former case. In contrast to the generally low level of sustainable development of Pusan, Taegu and Incheon, the metropolis Taejeon shows equally high level of sustainable development in 3 sectors.

This paper intends to set up a standard sets of indicators based on system-orientor framework, in assuming urban place as a self-organizing system within which several subsystems are interlinked together. Also, The application guideline composed of normative-analytical-practical dimensions, is proposed how to put into practice a standard set of indicators according to the regional characteristics. In practice, Seongnam in Gyeonggi Province in Korea and St. Paul in Minnesota in US are selected for case studies in order to measure and evaluate urban sustainability. Both data availability for measured variables and establishment of minimum level and satisfactory level of sustainability are requested for furthermore researches.

Real-time search keywords are not only limited to search keywords that are rapidly increasing interest in real-time, but also have a limitation that they are difficult to determine the sustainability as there is a difference in ranking between portal sites. Estimating sustainability for real-time search keywords is significant in terms of overcoming these limitations and providing some predictability. In particular, long-term search keywords that last for more than a month are of high value as long-lasting social issues. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze the interest based on the ranking of the real-time search keywords and the duration based on sustained weeks, days and hours of real-time search keywords by each portal site and the integrated portal site, and then estimating sustainability based on high level of interest and duration, and present a method to derive real-time search issues with high long-term sustainability.
