This study examines the assessment systems of LEED v4.1, an eco-friendly building evaluation system in the United States, and SITE v2, an assessment system for sustainable outdoor spaces, and then compares and examines them from the perspective ofrelevant laws and institutional guidelines and standards in Korea. The conclusion is as follows. First, the US eco-friendly certification system basically not only establishes an independent evaluation system according to the field of expertise, but also provides a sustainable city and community through response to the climate crisis and the comfort of the external space environment. It can be evaluated that securing the quality of life of healthy and happy city dwellers is the top priority. Second, Korea's Green Building Certification System (G-LEED) was basically based on the American LEED system, but it was judged that there was a fundamental difference. It was judged that there is a limitation in not being able to achieve an integrated approach through the participation of various expert groups and stakeholders, but also in the accumulation of more scientific and reliable data and information through the application of cutting-edge information and communication equipment. Third, in the case of external space in Korea, a sustainable assessment system has not been established, and not only is it dispersed in various legal and institutional guidelines, but also its effectiveness is judged to be very low. Therefore, it is judged that it is urgent to introduce and secure the applicability of SITES v2, a sustainable outdoor space assessment system in the United States. It was judged that the effectiveness should be secured through the upward adjustment of the minimum Ecological Area Ratio.

유역의 홍수위험도를 산정하기 위해서는 홍수의 발생가능성과 유역의 홍수방어 능력 등의 환경적, 공학적 요소 이외에도 홍수로 인한 피해 및 영향의 종류에 따라 사회적, 경제적, 문화적, 공학적인 요소를 반영해야 한다. 이들 홍수 피해 요소는 그 중요성이나 특성별로 홍수로부터의 방어 비중이 다르게 설정될 수 있으며 지역별로도 차이를 나타낼 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 홍수위험도를 평가하기 위한 인자 선정에 지속가능성 평가 모형인 DPSIR (Driving force-Pressure-States-Impacts-Response)을 이용하여 환경적, 공학적 요소뿐만 아니라 사회적, 경제적, 문화적인 요소를 반영하고자 한다. DPSIR 모형은 유역의 영향 인자들을 지표로 선정하며 각 지표간의 유기적 관계를 반영하는 구조로 이루어져 홍수로 인하여 인자 간에 발생하는 반응을 묘사할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 또한 인자를 선정함에 있어서 전문가 및 이해당사자들의 견해에 따른 평가 지역의 특성과 지속적인 변화 가능성 등을 유기적으로 연결될 수 있도록 평가요소로 반영할 수 있다. 본 연구는 추가 연구를 통해 남한강의 하도구간 별로 적용될 예정이며 각 인자들에 대한 자료는 문헌조사, 통계자료 조사 및 수리학적 수치모형 등의 분석을 통해 수집될 예정이다. 인자들에 대한 가중치는 전문가들의 의견을 반영할 예정이다. 향후 하천의 구간별 상대적 홍수취약도를 사회, 경제, 문화, 환경적인 측면을 고려한 인자들을 반영하여 정량적으로 제시하므로 하천 구간별 치수관리 우선순위를 결정하는데 적극적으로 활용될 수 있다.

This paper was intended to evaluate environmental policies of South Korea and compare its environmental sustainability with other Eastern Asian countries in terms of some sustainability measures. To meet the purpose, the paper is composed of three parts: a brief and critical review of Korea's current environmental policies, comparison of its sustainability with other Eastern Asian countries in terms of well-known environmental sustainability indices, and comparison in terms of a less well-known alternative measure. Korea's environmental policies as stipulated in "Green Vision 21", "Green Korea 2005" were evaluated in light of OECD EPRK 2006. Korea's environmental performance is then compared with other countries based on such environmental sustainability indices as EF, ESI, EPI and EVI. Unfortunately the well-publicized indices to measure sustainable development (SD) seem to fail in measunng SD and in providing comparability, because it does not base on the genuine concept of SD. Therefore, we tried to suggest an alternative measurement in terms of sustainability quantity (SQ), which is presented for South Korea and her major trading partners, such as USA, Japan and China.

This study conducted an analysis of terrain change indicators in major development projects in Korea, examining the correlation between terrain change indicators to derive foundational terrain change metrics based on different land use and slope types. The aim is to contribute to sustainable development by enhancing the efficiency of land utilization and landscaping, while minimizing environmental impacts in future development endeavors. Additionally, to apply the research findings in practical contexts, domestic regulations related to terrain were surveyed, and the compatibility and usability between these regulations and research analysis results were discussed. Based on this, the study seeks to explore strategies for more accurate and useful utilization of terrain change indicators in future research. As a result, in the tourism development, terrain changes predominantly occur in the order of flat land, hillly land, and mountain land, with the analysis indicating higher terrain changes in undulating hilly and mountainous lands compared to flat land. Furthermore, in industrial complex development, very steep (20°-30°) and extreme (30°-40°) slopes; in urban development projects, steep slope (15°-20°); in athletic service facility and tourist development, steep (15°-20°) and very steep (20°-30°) exhibit higher average terrain change indicators compared to other slope categories. The findings of our study can contribute to the formulation of strategies aimed at minimizing terrain disturbance in future domestic development projects and serve as foundational data for environmental impact assessments.

A Ubiquitous-Ecological City (U-Eco City) is the new urban paradigm integrated with ubiquitous-city (U-City) connecting the high-tech IT technology to the urvan space with the concept of the sustainable eco-city. As a U-Eco City is attempted for the first time domestically and internationally, there is insufficient discussions for its develoment goal, planned design proposal, technology and service element and others. Even if there are plans to build up it, policy and technology, service structuring business and others, it is difficult to assess how it would bring the efficacy. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to present the indicators system to assess a U-Eco City. The results of this study revealed the following; First, the conceptual framework, which was established to achieve sustainable urban quality, can be suggested by establishing its notion of the U-Eco City. The concept of a U-Eco City as established in this study suggests that the economic development in growth-oriented level has to be conducted not only quality of urban environment but also in terms of sustainable to consider the complex impact of various development; Secondly, the developed assessment system has heightened the completeness as the evaluation index through the attitude survey. As a result of questionnaire survey with the subject of specialists and interested party of this study, the urban qualitative aspect is formulated for the stability as a relatively important aspect. For the urban continuity aspect, society, environment and economy have all similar importance, but the environment element was shown to be highest. And finally, subject area was selected on the basis of the evaluation system and the analysis was made on the basis of the implementation design plan of the area. As a result of the assessment, safety and economy have shown to be high. This is indirectly indicated for the priority in economic growth driven development plan unlike the importance of environmental continuity obtained through the attitude survey. When planning on urban development, there is a need for supplementing the environment part and it has to present the connection plan between the economic growth and environmental continuity.

As the sustaindble development becomes the main goal of the global world in the 21st century, it is important that technological innovations should be realized ecologically sound based on co-evolutionalry approach. From this perspective, the trans-disciplinary research method is gaining importance in the evaluation process of public funded R&D, especially in the environmental technology. In our evaluation research on the R&D projects of the $CO_2$reduction and sequestration technology in Korea, we attempt to apply a trans-disciplinary integrated method on the concept of the eco-innovation, the technology push and the market pull. Also, we try to develop the trans-disciplinary indicators of the environmental technology evaluation. This research confirms the necessity of trans-disciplinary research among the three academic perspectives, engineering, social sciences and public policy.

This study was carried out to evaluate the forest sustainability index of metropolitan and provincial districts in Korea. The forest sustain ability was assessed on the bases of economic, social, environmental axes (phase), which are essential for sustainable development, and establishment. Score of importance for each phase was analyzed by the pairwise comparison of analytic hierachy process (AHP). The forest sustainability indices were measured by 15 indicators of each 3 indicators in economic, social and environmental aspects and 6 indicators in the establishment of infrastructure. The extra weight values of indicators were assigned by the value sum weight method. The forest sustainability indices were assessed for each phase, forest management and health, and integrated index, based on the data from 1995 to 2004. The forest sustain ability indices showed the highest score of 71.8 in Gyeongsangbuk-do and the lowest score of 22.9 in Incheon as of 2004.
