In general, industrial production involves large amounts of harmful by-product, causing serious pollution and ecological risk. Eco-efficiency, which indicates how efficient the economic activity is by considering both the environmental risks and economic performance, is a new concept for economic sustainability analysis and quantitative ecological risk analysis. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) has been widely used to examine eco-efficiency in recent years. Whereas traditional DEA models such as CCR and BCC model neglect undesirable outputs, this paper adopts a stochastic undesirable-output DEA model to measure the eco-efficiency of each province of China and Korea. The results indicate that whereas the eco-efficiency of the eastern region was the highest, that of the western region was the lowest. The reason may come from the negative external dis-economies of environment. And thus the governmental efforts for outreach on the underdeveloped regions should be promoted.

Purpose of this paper is to review series of Limits to Growth studies from its original Rome Club Report published in 1972 to the most recent one in 2012 by Jorgen Randers and finds its implications on concept and strategy of sustainable development. For this purpose first, this paper reviewed series of Limits to Growth studies in details with focus on scenarios used in simulation of world model. Second, response to the original Limit to Growth was reviewed and to see validity of its scenario based simulations, simulated results of interest variables and actual historical data up to the year 2010 was compared. Third, structure and key arguments in both studies, Limit to Growth studies and Our Common Future was explained and compared. Finally, implications of the Limit to Growth studies on concept and strategy for sustainable development was discussed. Based on the comparison, this paper argued that even if the term sustainable development was not used in the Limit to Growth at all, concept and strategies for sustainable development implied in the Limit to Growth are more clear and specific than those of Our Common Future. Since Limit to Growth studies were simulation based ones that produce detailed behaviors on interest variables, it clarifies more clearly the abstract concept of sustainable development and thus, provides specific guidelines for the direction of sustainable policy which has been suffering long from vagueness of concept of sustainable development.

The purpose of this article is to measure sustainability of countries based on material flow approach by connecting fossil fuel vs. economy, and fossil fuel vs. environment, respectively. The focus of the article is to confirm where each country concentrates more between economic growth and environment. Even though most of countries exclaimed the growth harmonized between economy and environment, the empirical results proved that they had weight on economic growth over environment. Of three country groups, the sustainability in OECD countries was the lowest, whereas that of low income countries was the highest. It has been known that the main offenders of global warming are developing countries and backward countries, but emission of greenhouse gas per capita in OECD countries was higher and as a result, their sustainability was much lower than those of other countries. Accordingly, because the OECD countries have more responsibility for the emission of greenhouse gas, it is necessary that they have to bear a larger portion of emission reduction.

Sustainable development has been recognized as one of the most important issues in economic growth since quantitative growth reached its limit. It is claimed that a non-economic value such as human right, education, welfare, and health is a vital factor for sustainable development. Most of all, education is considered to be the most important key to build up sustainable society. E-learning could make it easier for all to spread equal education out. This paper suggests a model for cyber universities which can explain how much cyber universities contribute to improve the sustainable development and what social responsibilities cyber university can carry out as lifelong education institutes. Cyber universities in Korea seem to aim quasipublic, openness, and integration to solve the educational issues we face and uncover their growth potential. Cyber universities will contribute to build sustainable society through giving a huge education opportunities for all based on boosting liberal art education, mass-education, globalization, and commercialization.

The purpose of this study is to compare traditional productivity and environmental productivity of Chinese 28 provinces for 1997-2005. The Eastern, the Central and the Western regions show higher M productivity indices than ML productivity indices before 2000 year, but two productivity indices of three regions report almost similar levels after 2000 year. The M productivity indices were higher than the ML productivity indices in the most provinces for 1997-2005. It implies that the Chinese regional economies have difficulties in the production activity reducing pollutants and increasing desirable outputs simultaneously. In the future, the Chinese 28 provinces need to change the direction of economic growth in the way that pursuits economic growth restraining pollution emission quantities thoroughly and should improve the concrete investment for clean technology of pollutant treatment, reinforcement of environmental regulation, and effectiveness of enforcement law.

In recent years, various perspectives on the sustainable regeneration based on culture, history, identity, and the ecosystem have arisen in attempt to harmonize the environmental, economic, and social issues of the city. However, these ideas did not consider the importance of urban structure for sustainable regeneration. This research attempts to reveal the fundamental characteristics of sustainable regeneration of Lubbock, Texas in the United States through the analysis of urban structure, city planning and city regeneration planning. Despite the 300% expansion of city area in the 1950s, since the 1970s Lubbock's civic center has decreased in population due to middle class migration into southwestern and western suburbs. In the 1980s, a redevelopment organization was established, and a private sector-centered regeneration plan was implemented. In this study, a new approach for urban regeneration was introduced, resulting in strategies focusing on the linkage of urban regeneration into the characteristics of the entire city.

정부가 국정 하반기 정책기조를 대기업 중심에서 중소기업 중심으로 변경하면서 원칙을 강조하는 수준을 넘어 실질적인 상생 규제 정책을 내놓고 있어 주목되고 있다. 정부는 지난 9월 29일 정부와 대 중소기업계가 모인 '대 중소기업 동반성장 전략회의'(제72차 국민경제대책회의)에서 지속가능한 성장동력과 경쟁력을 확보하기 위한 '대 중소기업 동반성장 추진대책'을 수립, 발표했다. 사회 윤리적인 수준을 넘어 각종 규제와 혜택으로써 기업문화의 풍토를 바꾸려는 시도를 하고 있는 것이다. 최근들어 정부는 각종 상생관련 정책을 내놓으면서'상생'이라는 말 대신 '동반성장'이라는 표현을 쓰고 있다. 일방적 시혜 혹은 분배에 초점을 맞춘 것이 아니라 거시적인 의미의 '성장'에 초점을 맞춰 기업 생태계의 변화를 촉구하고 있는 것이다. 즉, 생태계가 커질수록 일부 요소의 투입보다는 각종 요소들이 다양하게 공존함으로써 발생되는 시너지 효과에 미래의 성장동력이 있다고 판단하고 있다. 본지는 정부의 동반성장 정책과 업계의 반응, 설비업계를 대변하여 대한설비건설협회가 건의한 '건설산업 상생을 위한 제도 개선', 그리고 대기업의 동반성장 추진 현황에 대해 알아본다.

The purpose of this study is to analysis empirically the socio-structural causes of working poor. This study used raw data of of Korea National Statistical Office from 1982 to 2004, and put in operation time series multiple regression analysis to use socio-economic factors of macro-economy environment, labor market, distribution system. Contrary to assertion of growth-concentrated people, economic growth rate has had significantly positive effect on the change of working poor size. In the growth period there has been trickle down effect of economic growth, but in the post-Fordism period there has not been valid circular relation. Recent introduction of the U. S. type capitalism resulted in negative phenomenon like aggravation of income distribution, deterioration of employment quality, enlargement of working poor. And there rise a question on socio-economic durability due to de-compensation on intra-institution. It is necessary to grope transition to the high road social market model - that is stable and sustainable - correspond to Korea that is stable and sustainable.
